The classic:

Somebody: “I like pancakes.”

The crowd: “Oh, so you must hate waffles then? You monster.”

How large a number are we talking? This might be impossible for a computer as well considering this being a hard problem is effectively the basis for most encryption.

Certainly if they falsified a federal crime, the penalty shouldn’t be any less than wire fraud, which is up to 20 years in prison.

I guess we’re calling geothermal energy “reverse solar” now. This is silly marketing.

What’s wrong with the MIT License? It’s one of the most permissive licenses out there. I don’t see how a copy-left clause like others are saying would change things. If someone wants to compile this in to their own proprietary file explorer or something, who cares? Everyone still has access to the original.

Yeah, I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying, but tech jobs are a long ways away from having unions be the norm.

I’d love to have one in my job, since the only kind of job security you get in software is becoming a specialist in some niche area where you’re the only one who knows how anything works, which isn’t exactly a low-stress position either.

It’s a rough world out there for people trying to unionize…

This machine uses 75kWh per day to make 1 gallon of gasoline. Using the cheapest electricity in the country, that’s $9.29 per gallon (+ the machine itself is $20k).

3/4 of a second is quite noticeable. Most UI animations are only 100-200ms, and if you disable them, things feel faster but less “polished”. Try it out yourself on your phone UI if you’ve got an Android.

I’m sure auto-generated captions will work great for channels like Primitive Technology where there’s no actual talking and the subtitles are describing what he’s doing…

“Office” is completely removed from https://www.office.com/ The only place “Office” can still be found is in the urls. It’s called “Microsoft 365” now.

Edit: My mistake, “Office Home 2024” is still a thing you can buy apparently, but it’s not the full package and isn’t being updated. I’m pretty sure Libreoffice is a full replacement for “Office Home”

It seems like SketchUp uses OpenGL, which should be supported just fine by a linux GPU driver. I haven’t tried it myself, but you could maybe try running it through Proton (idk if there’s a way outside of Steam?)

I didn’t even realize these were being manufactured by Sparkfun now. I’ve bought all my Teensy boards straight from the original designer: https://www.pjrc.com/store/ (It’s been several years since I’ve bought any parts)

The sort of information they could gather from a site like this would be a list of license plates that somebody is worried about being tracked. I can think of several government organizations who would love that sort of information right now.

It’s a sort of Streisand effect

For data leaks, haveibeenpwned only requires your email, and they send you a notification if it ever shows up. They don’t actually check passwords.

Unfortunately there’s no secondary info linked with a license plate that makes doing this sort of notification private without just downloading the full database locally.

I’ll be honest, I have more concerns about this site potentially logging my license plate than I do of someone having already looked it up.

It’s a little like if haveibeenpwned asked you for your password to check if it’s been leaked.

I’d also argue a human monitoring your conversation would likely make similar mistakes in judgement about what’s happening, and this kind of invasion of privacy just isn’t okay in any form. There could be whole extra conversations happening that they can’t see (like speaking IRL before sending a consentual picture).
