Okay you just described my last dungeon event.

Come on man.

Grapes and watermelon are a shitton better than cake. Grapes and Watermelon may have a lot of sugar but they both contain a lot of fiber, let alone vitamins. Grape juice by itself is no better than soda but grapes are tons better than grape juice.

OP: You’re doing the right thing. As a man in his 40s who has lost 50 pounds and is in better shape now than I was in my 30s, eating better is better than “cheating”.

Having the support of your family makes the journey a whole lot easier.

I worked with an accountant for years and he got his ass bit by some asshole who left him a negative, and false, review.

He added a clause on renewal contracts with new language saying you won’t leave a negative review and to arbitration.

I told him I’m not signing this. I never leave reviews and I understand he’s trying to mitigate his losses and force arbitration but I told him that it wasn’t going to work.

I’m sorry but I have to respectfully disagree. Every conservative, no matter how ignorant or politically disconnected, believes that they are the exception. That they are special and they will be spared from being eaten by the leopards.

It’s all those other people who deserve it.

Every conservative believes this. From the sweetest nana to the bitter Nazi.

This is the root of conservatism: that they are the boot and everyone else deserves to be stepped on.

Depending on the size of the repo and number of contributors.

Small ones, yeah probably a simple “don’t be an asshole” is fine.

It gets harder when your contributors start scaling way up and go international. What might be customary in one culture may be considered rude by another. Allowing for people to be different while also maintaining decorum is important.

I worked on a FOSS project that was very small (~5 devs) and I really had to get used to how upfront the German devs were. We knew each other enough but still.

You’ve gotten good answers from other folks but I’ll provide a ELI5:

Basically a set of rules in the database to make sure that it is immediately consistent.

NoSQL databases offer eventual consistency in exchange for speed so they are generally not considered to be ACID compliant.

Most traditional databases (MySQL, postgresql, etc.) are.

There are a couple of emerging companies that try to tackle speed for traditional databases. CockroachDB offers a postgress-based database that scales more like NoSQL while still offering ACID transactions.

TiDB is a similar company but for MySQL.

As someone who doesn’t use twitter, are community notes monitored by Twitter? Like it’s not a third party addon like YouTube dislikes?

You can always do something but its efficacy will vary. For example, spinning up a third party candidate a week before the election would be pointless.

If you look at my post history on Nov 5 has several posts on starting a third party. Right after the election would have been perfect. A lot of runway to find candidates, push them into the spotlight, have them lead the protests against Trump.

But we were understandably numb.

The second best time was after the inauguration. The third best time was after the first protest. The fourth best time was after the second protest.

We’re about 8 months before the first primary. We could start a third party after the Labor Day protests.

With me being out of work, I’ve given serious thought about starting one here locally.

“Vote blue no matter who” is a direct result of FPTP voting. Until that’s fixed, yeah keep voting blue…if there isn’t a more progressive candidate.

We need a viable third party and the time to start one was November 6, 2024. We’re past the point to make a dent in the midterms (assuming we have elections) but we have time to run progressive candidates.

Isn’t that what Elon did when he bought Twitter? Just randomly started unplugging shit?

I think the logic here is that the code to deliver an ad is protected by copyright and your modification of that code is considered a derivative work that is protected under copyright law.

But that’s not what happens at the browser level.

The HTML code is sent, whole cloth, to the browser. The browser inspects the code, you know, to do browser stuff.

During this inspection, the code is put against the ad block rules. Nothing is modified. If the code violates some sort of logic, it doesn’t get rendered properly.

Hell, the opposite argument is probably more damning. Say you have this literal HTML:

<html>
<title>I use arch</title>
<p>
Btw
hello
World</html>

You could argue the browser is NOT showing your code the way you intended (e.g. “Btw hello World” being rendered though I’m not sure if spaces would be there or not).

At the end of the day, unless you send your webpage as an image, you can’t guarantee how the browser will render it.

As much as I would like to agree with you, permissive licenses are killing open source software as a whole since corporations absolutely abuse the software, provide very little value back to the code in return, and often DEMAND the authors patch their vulnerabilities.

Open source props up the world and the least that corporations could do is throw 0.0001% of their revenue their way. But they can’t even be bothered to do that.

There’s a way to detect when students yell “help” or “call 911” from the bathroom that doesn’t require any technology.

You have a staff member within earshot of the bathroom.

But its persistence is a characteristic of today: Installed and enabled by default, providing little to no value while insisting to be used until you removed or disabled it.

Sure it didn’t scape your data and sell it but if they had the ability to, I guarantee they would have.

Honestly…yeah. I’ve been trying to push that boulder but I can’t be the only one.

Very few people are willing to break rank because the system is working for them for now.

Absolutely nothing. But it seems like for the alt right, being queer is enough to disqualify your credentials and even your personhood.

I’m agree with the consequence but not the cause. Jack Welsh figured out the cheat code to increase short term stock prices by laying off people, regardless of their actual role or value to the company.

Since then, every company has done it whenever they need a quick boost in numbers.

How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.

Or has all of that been worked out already and you’re just the courier?

Edit: nevermind. My mind skipped past the explanation and went straight for the cute picture.

Volunteers are on both sides of the journey.
