They'll be in real trouble when they get fined into oblivion. I bet they're looking a thousands of dollars here!

Being pre-recorded isn't what I'd choose to mock it for, but as long as it's getting mocked I won't complain.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm in a slightly different demographic, but am still really interested in the steam machine. I'd be happy building my own gaming rig, but:

  1. Pricing out all that stuff, ordering it, building it is a lot of work, I'd want to see some benefit for that work,
  2. After pricing it all out, maybe I look at a steam machine and decide it's a better deal.

Realistically, steam machines, consoles, and custom gaming rigs are all approximately the same hardware and the same market. If the price of the steam machine is going up, so is its competition.

And came back to four slashed tires, right?

They're in the American embassy and consulates.

From the article:

“These skilled and highly trained special agents focus on a wide variety of serious crimes, like drug trafficking, child exploitation, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, financial fraud, and more.”

TLDR: They're not armed and can't arrest people.

In my opinion, it was all entirely reasonable when the US administration was an ally and a civilised democracy. It might be something we should re-evaluate for current circumstances.

A cup of coffee for depression treatment has better results than microdosing ( arstechnica.com )

A Phase 2B trial of 89 adult patients conducted by Melbourne-based MindBio Therapeutics, investigating the effects of microdosing LSD in the treatment of major depressive disorder, found that the psychedelic was actually outperformed by a placebo. Across an eight-week period, symptoms were gauged using the Montgomery-Åsberg ...

    My understanding is that they outsource the search part to bing's search back-end. Saying DDG is just Bing is like saying two butchers are the same because they get their meat from the same supplier.

    Unleaded8163 ,

    It looks like Bing is just a part of the answer: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources

    Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

    My only requirement for team processes is that they be mostly up to the team. Absolutely some type of structure is needed. If something isn't working for the team, they need to have agency to address that, whether it means adding, removing, or changing something.

    I reached for the up button about five times reading this. I absolutely 100% agree. Agile, and all of it's little branches, were created by self managing teams. Each team did it differently so named what they were doing differently, we got XP, scrum, kanban, etc. Spoiler alert: it wasn't the specific flavour that led to success, it was the diverse, empowered, self managing team of mature, talented people. Get yourself a team like that and the rest will care of itself.

    I can get behind that sentiment.

    About a teaspoon of my old starter, 50g water, 50g bread flour.

    I used to do 50% old starter, 25% water, 25% flour. The sourdough framework suggested my current method and my starter and I are much happier.

    Firefox will grow into a suite of software? Why?

    My guess is that this is just a branding push. Not so much "the firefox browser will start doing all sorts of non browser things" and more like "we're going to call our non-browser things firefox".

    For example:

    • Thunderbird -> Firefox Mail
    • Mozilla VPN -> Firefox VPN

    Just Savage:

    A carefully composed text page appears as an orderly series of strips of black separated by horizontal channels of white space. Conversely, in a slovenly setting the tendency is for the page to appear as a grey and muddled pattern of isolated spats, this effect being caused by the over-widely separated words. The normal, easy, left-to-right movement of the eye is slowed simply because of this separation; further, the short letters and serifs are unable to discharge an important function—that of keeping the eye on "the line". The eye also tends to be confused by a feeling of vertical emphasis, that is, an up & down movement, induced by the relative isolation of the words & consequent insistence of the ascending and descending letters. This movement is further emphasized by those "rivers" of white which are the inseparable & ugly accompaniment of all carelessly set text matter.[7]

    Cost of U.S.-supplied equipment for Canada’s new warships triples to $3.6B ( ottawacitizen.com )

    During a June 9 speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated an earlier promise that Canada would be cutting back on using its defence dollars to purchase U.S. military equipment. The U.S. has become increasingly hostile to Canada, with President Donald Trump continuing with economic efforts to punish Canada and to push for this ...

    Get a good baby carrier. Something similar to this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZIaFppcOL._AC_.jpg We had a stroller, but hardly used it. Wearing your kid is so much easier most of the time. Some of my best memories of the early years are going out with my kid in the carrier.

    The strategy is to keep proposing this bullshit until the public gets tired of raising an outcry every time. Once it's been proposed and abandoned a dozen times, nobody takes it seriously, then they can pass it without too much resistance.

    No, it's entirely possible they used cursor without any AI at all (that's unlikely, AI is kind of cursor's big thing), used it in a few places, as a slightly better autocomplete, or to "vibe code the whole thing". There are probably good reasons to avoid proton, but a text file in their repo related to a specific text editor isn't very significant.

    I had something like this in that kind of corner: https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/utrusta-corner-base-cab-pull-out-fitting-gray-50596762/
    Mine was right next to the range as well, it was a little awkward because the cupboard door couldn't quite open all the way. You could also just extend a cupboard back into the void. Some of the stuff at the back gets hard to reach, but most people have kitchen stuff they only need once in a while, so it's not too bad to have to go deep for some things.

    Do you have any way to get in touch with the author? If they're "small-time" they might have an easy way to contact them through their web site. I imagine they'd love to hear something like "Hi, I love your work! What is the best way for me to buy an e-book and support you?"

    I think the meme got the conversation backwards. It started with "How can we track people on-line and take away encryption?"

    If it makes you feel any better, sometimes it wouldn't make any difference anyway.
