Wasn't there a storage device some
Years ago (decade plus) that was RAM strapped to a PCI-E card with the electronics to present the RAM as a storage device?
Micro mobility is amazing if you live in an area that is at all accommodating. I started using an electric scooter to go get lunch when weather isn't intolerable. It's harder with small children or if everything is car-only distances away (like rural areas), but not impossible. So much less hassle than a car IMO.
There are numerous documented examples of where chat LLMs have either subtly agreed with a user's suicidal thoughts or outright encouraged suicide. Here is just one:
In some cases, the LLM may start from a skepticism or discouragement, but they go along with what the user prompts. That's in comparison to services like 988, where the goal is to keep the person talking and work them through a moment of crisis, regardless of how insistent they are. LLMs are not a replacement for these services, but it's pretty clear they need to be forced into providing this sort of assistance because users are using them this way.
Or, use a service that lets you generate an address for each business you deal with or use case you have so you can treat them as disposable. After chasing down spammers and companies selling my info, including my email, I found this was easier to keep up with and is more effective. Spam me once or sell it to another company, and I burn that address, replacing it with the original company if I really need them to keep in contact.
For me as someone that would potentially be interested in and qualified for one of these roles, the DOGE actions earlier this year and ongoing firing of nonpartisan & non-appointed that don't tow the current ruling party line ruined the stability benefit. I think it also casts doubt on the pension aspect, but I know less about what's required to get pension in US fed positions.
In my head, it'll be like the high pressure timeshare sales pitches or the dreaded car sales transactions, where they pull out all the tricks to convince you to buy something you don't actually want or need, regardless of whether you can afford it.
Does the Reduce Transparency option in Accessibility remove the drop shadow? If it does, I'd expect it to be all windows, but might satisfy your desire here.
I usually do the same, but not always. And I believe clicking through is a behavior of a minority of people and interactions, judging by the click through rate drops sites have seen recently. (On mobile at the moment, so apologies for not grabbing a source for the rate drops sites.)
> This time might be different. But it's probably not.
And this is an appeal to tradition.
This article[1] from 2024 discusses this the studies on this topic. It seems to me the results are mixed, but conclusions range between social media being neutral to harmful. There is a lot in that article, so it's worth a read.
In advance, sort of. The devices can be swapped around at basically any time. There's a little lag for a device to get the config update enabling Mullvad on it IME, usually 30 seconds or so.
They don't need to share a single cert. Multiple certificates can be, and possibly should, issued for the same address (or set of addresses). This means that one front door server that gets popped doesn't expose all connections to the larger service.
Downside is obviously certificate maintenance increases, but ACME automated the vast majority of that work away.
The narrative climax to the human story around climate change has yet to happen. Assuming we continue on the current trajectory, expect riots and wars over food and clean water, possibly more.
I've nearly given up on using containers on macOS for development at work, because I frequently need to test amd64-only containers. One deviation from our production (Linux on x86_64) is bad enough, but two surfaces issues, or even annoyances, frequently enough that I'm likely to take a plain Linux box for my next refresh.
Removal of the parts that Docker Desktop or colima use to provide x86_64 hosting might just seal that for me.
(Remote dev is another option, but I haven't found that particularly ergonomic yet.)
I'm curious whether the community will trust Redis-the-company again after this, or if they'll choose to stick with Valkey. The other concern is at least some big company legal departments are wary of AGPL software, which makes Valkey, still BSD, more attractive to them.
Edit: Regardless, thank you and the rest of the folks inside Redis for pushing to bring this back to OSS!
From what I gather, anything they've saved is going to tax cuts for wealthier Americans and increased military spending.
The 90% of folks at the lower end are getting tax increases, too, as of the latest plan I've seen.
How much DOGE is saving is very questionable, too. Less than 1% of the annual budget fwiu. And whether those savings are actually permanent, or whether they cost us when consequences of cuts come calling after some time.
One thing I have been considering for my immediate family, and possibly my parents, is setting up a small MDM. This seems more in line with allowing power users to do powerful things while keeping the less savy users from totally blowing up their devices with malware. I've never run an MDM though, only on the receiving end for work devices, so I'm not too sure about the complexity involved.
