What are you basing this off of? Do you actually have any experience making art? Or is this just learned helplessness talking? Also please stop implying I said any 12 year old can do this. I didn't. Once again, I said anyone who puts i

I didn't say anyone can become Michelangelo. I said anyone can do this level of work. That is, the exact same thing he did when he was 12, which is a master study. He didn't create the design - he copied a previous work and added

It's impressive that he did it at 12, but like you said, he had years of focused practice under his belt before he did this one. Anyone can do this level of work - they just need to actually learn it. It doesn't require someone be

It’s hard to prove without knowing the app devs, but for points 1 & maybe 2, we can look at whether Americans think the raids are justified. 28% of them think they are [0]. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that the devs wo

Google and Verizon were under fire recently from the DOJ for not complying with the govt's anti-DEI stance quickly enough[0]. If these policies truly aren't in the companies best interests, they would've dropped the policies

Not sure why you're insinuating that I dislike apple products. My personal mb air doesn't have this issue and most of my household is on apple. I'm also seeing results for "macbook pro doesn't go to sleep when lid c

That's funny - my work MBP won't go to sleep properly, lol. Often come back to work after the weekend to find a dead laptop.

I don't mind paying for one, though I do remember trying DEEPL without much success. Can't remember the problem offhand, but one of the services I tried just gave me a generic error when I uploaded the PDF. My view at the time was

This might be a good place to check the options available for OCR in-place translations. I took a look at OCR3, but it doesn't seem to support my use-case. It looks more tailored towards data extraction for further processing. I'v

We're actually in a unique situation where the planning+buying isn't the hard part, but the deciding is. We're within walking distance of a super-cheap grocery store and I'm able to cook a wide variety of dishes - many o

Very cool concept - thank you for sharing it! I think would be a great solution to the near-daily "what should we eat" problem. If I could make a (not-important) suggestion, I think being able to re-arrange / categorize menu

Makes sense. I didn't know if the FS used RAM for this purpose without some specialized software. PikachuEXE and Mewse mentioned ZFS. Looks like it has native support for caching frequent reads [0]. Good to know [0]: https:/&#x2F

Q - assuming the NAS was strictly used as NAS and not as a server with VMs, is there a point in having a large amount of RAM? (large as in >8GB) I'm not sure what the benefit would be since all it's doing is moving information

Most of what I learned in college was only because I did homework and struggled to figure it out myself. Classroom time was essentially just a heads up to what I'll actually be learning myself later. Granted, this was much less the cas

We had similar childhoods - though I did phpBB. Never had an audience for the forum, but it was cool just having and styling it. Good times.

It's got the same vibe as going into a circle of people having fun and telling them they're trying too hard. What's the effect you're going for? You're not being stopped from having an opinion - your comment is visi

So there aren't any stats for illegal immigrants voting then I take it. I would expect they don't check for citizenship when becoming a police officer. I do expect them to check when a voter is registered. Frankly, given the amoun

Are you claiming that the detainees - assumedly primarily illegal immigrants - are taking part in the voting process and that's why the governor is "grandstanding"? That's the story I hear from certain folks and as far a

Is (like the article said) this information really not taught in electronics curriculum anymore? It's been a while since I was in school, but this was all covered in my undergrad EE 2XX/3XX classes. Do modern designs use fewer dio

If you know people affected, then you have more information than me and I'm not going to pretend like I have a better grasp on the situation than you. However, the "last resort" comment I made was a guess to their reasoning -

The cost you're referring to is fairly abstract - I'm not sure how it can be implemented for the employer. The cost to the laid-off employee is a loss of income, mental trauma, potential loss of residence. What would your ideal so

by speff 11mo ago
I absolutely agree with your assessment that it should be the last resort option due to the societal cost of a large number of people losing their job. On top of the risks you mention, there's also the mental hit that often accompanies
