Definitely not. They appear to be SD rips of television broadcasts. Obviously it would be best if rights holders made their media available for reasonable prices on reasonable services, but until we have sane IP laws, hobbyist preservatio

Will be interesting to watch regulatory arbitrage play out over the next couple of years if the US and EU diverge from this take in upcoming legal disputes.

All 7 seasons are well seeded on the torrents. It's hard for media to become lost these days, but if you want to see a lot of it, you aren't going to do so legally under such a ludicrous IP regime.

Problem is that we don't build the damn things anymore, so each one is bespoke and expensive. Ideally we'd keep building them and develop the expertise and make it a more repeatable scalable process. I worry instead that the less

It's been years so I don't remember the exact details, but it's probably what I saw recommended as an entry level printer on various fora.

Yeah I got into 3d printing a few years ago to start a side business for a niche hobby, got a nicer Creality CR-10S, I think it was. Endless hours tinkering with the thing, and still could only get nice solid prints like half the time. I

Nice to see you dropping in Maxim! For the GP poster - I agree with Maxim here. We've been evaluating workflow orchestration and durable function systems for a while and finally whittled down to where we think we're going to pull

Probably as many regulations as there are on alcohol or tobacco or pharmaceuticals (which I'm also not a fan of the doctor/pharmaceutical gated access to other drugs). If you produce it has to be pure, tested, not adulterated, wi

I actually don't think we should decriminalize. Just legalize it and let people get pure product at dirt cheap prices. There's no reason to fund crime (drug dealers/organized crime), maim and kill users, push users into pove

Couldn't agree more. Was playing devil's advocate to spur conversation since I was the first comment on the thread.

Unsurprising, really. They were given cover to increase prices, so they did it. That is their duty as the operators of those corporations to the shareholders.

I live here. The fact that we elected two dem senators, one in a runoff, is indicative of a shift to me. We'll definitely see how 2024 goes, but at the very least we're very purple for the first time in a long time.

Interesting. Firefox on Android handles it just fine for me.

Yes. That is what is valued in the economic system we have. Absolute cut throat dominance to take as big a chunk of any pie you can get your grubby little fingers into yields the greatest amount of capital.

True. When you can just make any function be whatever you want whenever you want that sort of abstraction does seem a big much. I was responding to the specific question in reference to the time provider in .net 8.

by rjbwork 3y ago
Because you can now fully simulate arbitrary times during testing by providing your own implementation of the time provider. If you just take in a timezone as an argument, how will you simulate it being 2041-08-23T21:17:05.023743Z?

If you're doing any new work as of the past 3 years, it's just .NET. It's really not that confusing unless you're updating legacy software in which case you're probably quite embedded in the ecosystem already.

Variable number of arguments is a keyword, params. I don't believe there's any 3 dot operator in C#. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-ref...

The new interceptors in C# 12 look pretty wild. Will have to play around with them. Was hoping for more of a PostSharp style AOP framework, and this doesn't appear to be that.

I've found that the easiest way to effect change is by making the people who make decisions feel the pain of the problem. A lot of line levels do a lot of heroics in an attempt to keep pain from rolling up hill Instead of the organiza

No goalpost moving. Just hyperbolic mockery of an appeal to Islamic countries for anything to emulate on the front of rights or freedoms.

I just got back from St. Croix - the largest, remotest, and poorest of the Virgin Islands. I had far better internet there than I do ~35 miles outside of Atlanta. Infrastructure in this country is ridiculous sometimes. Comcast told us it

Well, I guess if you think ruin or death is a valid consequence for fairly low stakes "crimes", you can implement pretty much any regime you like, assuming you've got enough boots and knives.

Because one of the biggest ways that child abuse is detected and abated is by interaction between students and children. Isolating children in insular communities is a really great way to abuse them and hide the evidence of it. Regular int
