I have a Stream Deck XL connected to the TS3, seems to work fine (although I'm using BetterTouchTool to power it rather than the default software)

I got one of these recently, it's great. If you don't have too many peripherals you can achieve the same thing with a USB-C hub, but the TB ones obviously have the bandwidth you need for multiple monitors etc.

If someone is overweight, but otherwise healthy (which I suspect is the case for a lot of young people, as they haven't been overweight long enough for it to take a big toll on the body) can they not go ahead and enrol them and then wh

I have a $4/month VPS that comes with a static IP address. Any reason you shouldn't use that as a proxy to solve the dynamic IP problem?

I've noticed the same. Never seen it get overloaded before, but it's happened several times over the past week.

Is that what we want? It's usually practice to have the unit price and amount on any invoice or receipt, this isn't something they invented to trick you. Honestly it's easier for me to reason with unit prices than totals.

In the author's defence, they do start the article by calling themselves an idiot. Thanks for doing the research!

For deep learning/NNs, Google Colab/Kaggle notebooks are where most people start. There are lots of cloud providers that are harder to set up on but might be cheaper/faster for a particular project, but while Colab is limitin

The obvious response to this is that the non-techy family members wouldn't be able to use it, but honestly most home entertainment setups are already crazy complicated, whereas everyone knows how to use a PC (for now)

I dodged a somewhat similar experience with Zoom. Took a contract with a company, and they tried to adopt my personal zoom account into their organisation (I was a contractor, so I was using my own email address while working for them). For

I'd say this would be capable of fooling even people who are knowledgeable about USB attacks, because they're likely to recognise that it's a YubiKey presume it's not dangerous. Of course they'd also have less reaso

> Another interesting gail.com factoid: my amazing e-mail provider, ProtonMail, rejects about 1.2 million mis-addressed e-mails per week to the gail.com domain. Bloody hell, there could be some spicy stuff on a few of those emails!

I would hope that if domain matches your legal name, that should be sufficient evidence that you registered it in good faith. Anyway, I don't think the above poster was suggesting advertising it for sale, just that if someone reached o

To further clarify: www.bom.gov.au is HTTP only. It will fail to connect if you use HTTPS. reg.bom.gov.au is an HTTPS version of www.bom.gov.au. It seems to be staying, but you have to know to use that address. weather.bom.gov.au is a newer

The S is not a typo. It's retiring its HTTPS site. The old HTTP site (and the app) is staying. You can actually get the old site via HTTPS, but only on the https://reg.bom.gov.au subdomain. So there's that.

Wouldn't have helped him here, he was 50 miles from the trail he wanted to hike!

He probably believed he was halfway through or more, but he was on the wrong trail.

by roxgib 4y ago
I think he walked a lot further than that. The article said he had a 14 mile walk back to the car, and that he was a few miles into that when his legs started to cramp.

I think the question the court was trying to answer was "did he act negligently?". If he did, he's responsible for the result. That he didn't bring a first aid kit is further evidence that he wasn't prepared for the

For a while during covid NSW was closed, and a few people who had taken a road trip from Victoria to Queensland tried to drive home through NT and SA. The authorities spent a while rescuing people who weren't prepared for 100s of kilom

> They generally do not charge people unless they have substantial, if not overwhelming evidence. Well that's simply untrue. Very often prosecutors will overcharge to force a plea deal on the defendant who doesn't want to risk

It seems to me that a few things are needed: 1. Limiting the 'trial penalty' to 25% or so of the sentence 2. Banning pleas that involve dropping charges in exchange for pleading to others 3. Proper funding for public defenders The

This makes sense for companies as they tend to want to avoid bad hires more than they want to hire the 'best' person. As another person pointed out though it really sucks for people who happen not to have contacts, and often makes

Ideally it would be smart about the skills, and recognise how skills transfer between technology. I feel like this is a solvable problem with the right technology.

Your second point is important, but when you have recruiters/HR as the front line of hiring it completely breaks down because they haven't got a clue whether an applicant's skills are transferable or not. And they cop a lot o

Many (most?) projects bypass this by simply not specifying which platforms are supported, and making decisions about breaking support on an ad hoc basis. Of course OSS developers are entitled to do this if they think it's best, but tha

I'm very confused by how this occurred. Did the school implement a policy that it's okay to send out AI generated emails so long as the use of AI is disclosed? Did the sender not proofread the email and notice that it mentioned Ch

A reminder that the law, and the bureaucracy, don't keep up with the latest social norms. This kind of work might be slowly becoming more socially acceptable, but it's easy for people who surround themselves with others who approv
