You can't always control what the thread is doing, like what code is being executed. Even if you put flags and ensure your code is periodically checking them, your code is not necessarily the only thing being executed by the thread. It

They're just evil and want to maximize short term profit with no consideration of side effects or impacts to future trajectories, and their ideas are so stupid and shortsighted they don't even maximize short term profits either.

I subscribed to Google One through the Google Photos iOS app because I wanted photos I took on my iPhone to be backed up to Google. When I switched to Android and went into Google One to increase my storage capacity in my Google account, I

Americans have a weird thing with government agencies (or government-owned companies, e.g. Amtrak) simply hiring people to do a thing the government is tasked with doing, or buying things the government needs in order to do that thing. So i

Did suppressing transparency also turn on processor throttling or something too? Like putting the device in a power saver mode?

Yeah one of the easiest ways to make windows vista+7 perform better was to simply disable all the fancy UI graphics that add nothing. I don't care if my window title bars have a gradient and animated transparency. It's actually a

This doesn't make sense to me. They could just say the software is provided as-is and Microsoft holds no liability. Which they do say elsewhere. This license goes much farther to say Microsoft can sue you if you use it.

Can't use it for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities? Uh, this actually seems insane to me? What is it for then?

Why would you trust it to accurately say what it knows? It's all statistical processes. There's no "but actually for this question give me only a correct answer" toggle.

It's a VM plus some usability automation. Can't ignore the usability benefits.

I use it for running some multiple-hour jobs on a remote VM.

Glacial page bedrock of an OS with optional sandboxed more-up-to-date userspace packages and runtimes that can be layered on top of the host system was the dream of flatpak/snap/appimage, right?

conda and uv do manage python versions for you which is part of their appeal, especially on systems that don't make it super straightforward to install multiple different versions of pre-compiled runtimes because their official OS chan

`uv` is great for this because its super fast, works well as a globally installed tool (similar to conda), and can also download and manage multiple versions of python for you, and which version is used by which virtualenvironment.

This is a really bad argument. None of this is a good reason for K-12 students to have their phone on them all day.

They wanted another stimulus check but didn't want other people to get a stimulus check. They love stimulus checks and the highly effective policies the US used to mitigate an unemployment spike and avoid a recession that did hit oth

We are both suppressing international trade of consumer goods and making it harder and more expensive to build out the infrastructure to build consumer goods in the US.

An AI being better than a human at doing a google search and then skimming a bunch of pages to find location-related terms isn't as interesting of a result.

But what is being defended against? This is blocking legitimate user behavior. Would it be defense in depth to also prohibit semicolons or two consecutive hyphen characters in all content? If your app is constructing paths to read from the

Denial of service prevention and throttling of heavy users is a fine use, searching for a list of certain byte strings inside input fields and denying requests that contain them isn't.

If your web application is relying on Cloudflare filtration of input values to prevent SQL injection, your web application is vulnerable to SQL injection.

I don't get why you'd have SQL injection filtering of input fields at the CDN level. Or any validation of input fields aside from length or maybe some simple type validation (number, date, etc). Your backend should be able to hand

This is a very cool feature. I don't know how useful it is or how I'd use it right now but I think I am going to get into some benchmarking and performance tweaking soon and this could be handy.

Lol that's so funny. Can't imagine writing that. (the critique, not the code).

Absolutely not. They are not broadly experts, and they are not making these decisions after careful consideration, as evidenced by their continual acts of stupidity and basic errors and cutting things despite having no idea what it is they

Most of the code in most programs is not the part that is doing the I/O. It's doing stuff on a set of values to transform them. It gets values from somewhere, does stuff using those values, and then outputs some values. The compli

The code is written the same way it is logically structured. `let` takes 1+ arguments: a set of symbol bindings to values, and 0 or more additional statements which can use those symbols. In the example you are replying to, `bar-x` and `quu
