Have there actually been studies that put drug dogs to the test under controlled conditions? Just looking at airport stats isn't enough. A drug dog might sniff trace amounts of drugs on clothing, but a search may not turn up anything b

Not every show, but lots of shows over represent minorities in main cast in what appears to be a conscious DEI effort. For example, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist gives the impression of high representation of minorities in tech (Sprqpo

Yeah you're right, I think SNMP is based on UDP; I just meant you could use "raw" UDP datagrams to send one-way commands if you didn't want to use SNMP

SNMP is very useful for sending one-way commands to satellite-connected computers because it allows you to recover computers that have lost uplink connectivity - not so with HTTP/TCP which requires two-way handshake. A common scenario

Agreed. Formatters are supposed to remove all cognitive burden related to formatting. But formatters like Black (for python) will do line-length based formatting which reintroduces the cognitive burden again ("oh crap, my variable name

Been meaning to. I don't like the idea of buying a PS4 for just 1 game. I keep hoping it will come to PC.

Sekiro is very different from souls style combat - for me Sekiro was more like a rhythm game where you have to tap the deflect button to the cadence of enemy attacks. It's still very fair and rewarding though, if you persist through th

I just beat Sekiro last month and picked up Elden Ring this month. I think Miyazaki is a genius - FromSoft smashed it out of the park with this one, and I honestly had no idea how he could outdo himself after the masterpieces that were Dark

He has homosexual characters in his books, though (IIRC one of the members of bridge 4 to name one)? So clearly he's making an effort to be inclusive even if his religious views on the matter are different, nuanced, or otherwise unpopu

Usually ideas arise out of frustration. I'm trying to accomplish X, but the tools to accomplish X are clunky, slow, ill-suited, etc. So I start to think I could build a solution for accomplishing X that others might find useful as well

Imagine a game like Dwarf Fortress... but passed on from father to son for centuries, each generation making the game bigger, richer, more complex. I suppose at a certain point you'd have a game impossible to play in one lifetime.

Your position is quite clear, I'm just saying I (and others) disagree with that position. For me, where religious freedom and equal protection clash, I tend to err on the side of religious freedom. If some jewish web designer is only i

In my opinion, the lesser of two evils in this case is not compelling business owners to perform services they object to. The US has a capitalist economy - if there is money to be made building gay wedding websites, then someone will almost

So you are saying a gay web designer should not be able to refuse a job from a fundamentalist Christian wanting a fundamentalist Christian website (the content of which the gay web designer objects to)?
