I love how arbitrary, cultural and opinionated that must be to work with. You’d learn something about the implimenter of the compiler by using it for a while.

That’s exactly the point of the video

The Square, the protagonist in Flatland

I can’t tell if you’re joking and deliberately invoking the original comic above

Whelks_chance ,

Maybe

Is it a chicken egg if it came from a chicken, or contains a chicken?

Whelks_chance ,

I’ve seen this before, but didn’t realise they got milkdrop working. I bought an MMX compatible processor specifically to be able to run this, back in the day.

The Animatrix described it fairly closely

And he also made false teeth

Sorry it’s a short, couldn’t find a proper clip

Not to argue on behalf of publishers, but the papers aren’t written for free. It’s part of the job of being a researcher, it’s a significant KPI for which you’re hired and receive a wage.

Reviewing for free is pretty much bullshit though. As is paying to read them afterwards, if your research institution doesn’t pay to publish in an open access journal

Whelks_chance ,

I didn’t say it was the publisher’s paying the salaries. My point is that researcher are paid to research, and publishing results is part of that.

Whelks_chance ,

Sure, that would work. Or government grants available so anyone who wants to be an editor can apply for funds to get it going. Papers are rarely printed on paper nowadays, so the main costs would be paying editors, paying reviewers, and web hosting.

Whelks_chance ,

Yup, been there, but the other side of it. Was hired to do research and then teaching suddenly appeared as an expectation.

Whelks_chance ,

In the UK it’s quite unusual to have a fixed rate mortgage that goes that long. Normally you’d get a decent rate for 2-5 years, at which point the rate changes to whatever the current default is, and you get the opportunity to fix for another few years

Whelks_chance ,

We’d probably need a few people to keep track of things, but that’s quite a powerful position so we’d need a system to switch them out for better people if they start making decisions we don’t like. And if some people are growing corn and others are catching fish, should they just trade them directly? Maybe some system to keep track of how much of next year’s corn you’re swapping for the fish I gave you last week… And grandma is pretty old now, should we feed her? Can I ask my neighbours to help feed her?

How rich? How should the empathy be shown? Is it a sliding scale where the lines meet in the middle somewhere?

Do we know for sure that Reddit doesn’t keep an edit history for comments?

How does a rainbow table help here? They’re more for decoding unsalted encrypted database tables, rather than for actually trying to login.

For me, it was this

php.net/…/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php

Whelks_chance ,

The question was why do I hate it, and it was because of this. I don’t understand your confusion.

Whelks_chance ,

They’re specifically refuting claims that it had been sunk. I don’t see what your problem with that is.

Whelks_chance ,

Is chatgpt the default starting point for inexperienced / early career/ students now?

Whelks_chance ,

I’m neither surprised nor unsurprised. I’m middle aged and don’t have much insight into what university students are doing day to day.

Whelks_chance ,

Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they’ve factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

Basically, it sounds good, but the research needs to consider the full lifecycle of these projects.

Whelks_chance ,

Bike shedding.

Let’s focus on this small but easily understood problem and hope that someone somewhere else is sorting out the big and difficult stuff.

Whelks_chance ,

I like this, but having skimmed it I didn’t find a description I connected with.

For whatever reason, I feel the world isn’t “just”, but I personally will have a better life if I do good things. It’s rooted in selfishness rather than celestial balance.

Whelks_chance ,

Is very possible to know exactly what should be done, but not have the time available to achieve it.

Whelks_chance ,

M. For Mancy.

Whelks_chance ,

Not necessarily true. Presumably there would be a terms of service you’d know about before takeoff. And any of it could easily be voluntary rather than mandatory.

The BBC More or Less podcast looked into it. The problem existed pre COVID and is likely more related to cuts in healthcare funding than anyone being anti vaccines.

It’s more about access and support.

Whelks_chance ,

I’m more likely to blame various governments for failing to properly fund the NHS so that outreach programs can support young mothers pre/post giving birth, and providing the information about how and when to vaccinate their kids.

Otherwise they’re implicitly being told to “so their own research”.

Whelks_chance ,

I don’t have personal experience, but it sounds like it is free, but the service is overstretched.

Whelks_chance ,

Pour the water and leave it to ferment for a few weeks, then the dog will jump in and refuse to leave.

JSON parsers are getting me recently. The error is somewhere on or after row 1, char 1. Maybe.

Possibly it’s a BOM issue, or someone used double quotes typed on a Mac keyboard. Good luck.

Whelks_chance ,

Agreed. Mypy pre-commit hooks are very useful if you’re starting a fresh project. Adding typing to an existing project which reuses variables with different types… We lost weeks to it.

Whelks_chance ,

I hadn’t thought of this. 1 way ticket to Vegas please!

Whelks_chance ,

You’ve never bought anything with “made in china” on the label?

Whelks_chance ,

For similar reasons the Tories in the UK want to throw away the current Human Rights Act.

You know, just in case it has too many rights, and they want to remove some later.

I didn’t even get out the house

France ramps up weapons production for Ukraine and says Russia is scrutinizing the West's mettle (apnews.com)

French manufacturers have reduced the manufacturing times for some of the weapons systems they supply to Ukraine by half or more, as France increasingly switches away from its previous policy of dipping into its own military stocks to support the war effort against Russia’s invasion, France’s defense minister said in an...

Sure, but these are loans owed by a country to another country, so as long as the terms aren’t too crippling, I personally see this as better than the alternative.

For example, the UK only paid off it’s WW2 loans in 2006

I had a lot of fun pasting that into dalle the other day, created some funny stuff.

My dog rings a bell when she wants to go outside.

Ours sometimes rings the bell to make us stand up, and then steal our seat, or food.

Quite an emotive title for “domain name not renewed”
