Exactly. It would have been clearer if I had added "in the middle:" after "the answer is".

I haven't heard that. I can see two perspectives: 1. If a chargeback is issued, that means the company messed up massively and they should investigate, not ban the user 2. Some people fraudulently issue chargebacks and we assume our su

I think it could take a little while to come out, but I'm sure they had cameras in the lobby. It did just happen this morning after all. The building's structural integrity is being checked.

I've never written rust, so maybe this is way off. But could the code editor display the inferred type right next to the variable declaration?

This is from Driveline Baseball. My understanding is that they've really revolutionized the ability of pitchers to put spin on the ball. (Sticky stuff aside)

Epic was working on a new UT which has been in early release. It's quite fun but I believe development stopped some time ago.

And given they're monks, if the quarry owner is Catholic they might get an especially good deal.

Partway down they show a monk working with a pen and touchscreen to do the actual sculpting. It looks like they're definitely using sculpture knowledge and artistry to create the models rather than just copy pasting other resources.

I often print off papers to read, something about the form factor just works for me. I do this pretty frequently so it's worth it. Oh and return labels for packages.

Yep, I chucked my HP inkjet and got a single function Brother mono laser printer. I figure if I need to print in color, I am probably better off just paying to use a really good photo printer.

I generally assume that other people on Zoom are not wearing pants. It would be quite shocking if someone stood up and revealed their dress pants.

Pretty often, depending on your field?

What does “tampered with” mean? Particularly in the context of a device you own? I would consider a device tampered with if someone besides me (the owner) did something with it, without my authorization. But anything short of that is surely

They have a GPS receiver in a fixed, known location. They measure the received signal and from the variations infer corrections for ionospheric effects. They are part of the GPS network. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

The Gore-TEX membrane in the shoe also tends to break down quite quickly. Think on the order of months if worn daily.

Because some people sign up for a site early and then never use it. I can't get my desired handle on a particular social network because some dude registered 15 years ago, posted one item, and then never used it again. I mean, obviousl

I wear my watch on my right hand, I’m ambidextrous. It’s always the side that’s felt proper, even though I write right-handed.

FWIW, the Justice Department investigation into Live Nation / Ticket Master was ongoing before the events of this last week. Personally I was heartened by this fact. I think there is quite a bit of outcry about FTX, it's in every

Ouch! I haven’t fenced in a few years but IIRC that’s a red-card penalty (hitting the back of the head). I was always fairly invested in not being an asshole so I never back-flicked in a tournament until I was 95% sure I could pull it off (

To add to that, the mask is in some sense "punch tested" nearly every time you use it. Far better for it to fail in a test.

I searched my emails and it appears it was the Fremont site. It was about 7 years ago I moved off Linode. Initially I went to EC2 but then I just replaced most of my VPS needs with other specific services. FWIW, EC2 was more reliable IME, b

I moved off Linode 5 years ago due to outages and issues. I don't have any experience post-akamai to compare but it was definitely never a reliable service for me in the past.

Furthermore, I believe there's some question as to whether the kind of computer that DWave has made is even a true quantum computer.

Eh, I'm not so sure about that anymore. Many cars these days have radar assisted cruise control so I think some of the same issues do apply.

I can take a stab without really knowing for sure, I would guess that flipping a bit of the ciphertext would have much greater consequences than flipping a bit of the plaintext.
