Well, thank goodness we don't price Fire Department response the same way.

For my city of Ann Arbor, Michigan from https://www.a2gov.org/media/4glhvywf/2025-aafd-annual-report...

FY2026 budget: $20,810,234 Structure Fires: 58 Cooking Fires: 75 Vehicle Fires: 30

So should we somehow recover roughly $127,000 from the victims of each fire?

Of course not. I and my neighbors pay taxes to maintain the Fire Department and have it ready when needed. Many may argue that we pay too much, but those unfortunate enough to actually need its services would probably say they got a great deal.

I hadn't, but then 2.1.177 dropped in on auto-update and I assumed that was going to be the end of Fable for me, but I'm still on it. At least that's what the model picker is continuing to say along with the header.

  Fable 5 with low effort · Claude Max
       ~/testing

Never mind, it failed a few minutes later with: There's an issue with the selected model (claude-fable-5). It may not exist or you may not have access to it. Run /model to pick a different model.

And now we're done. Oh well.

tab-completion of filenames in the directory tree is now unavailable. You'll need to use the Codex style @file to bring up an fzf style list

Some of us graybeards use to use teletypes to talk to our computers. In one of the earlier races between differing I/O, the printer couldn't print as fast as the teletype was receiving data, so the teletype would send XOFF (Ctrl-S) to tell the remote end "Stop sending data and let me catch up" and would then send XON (Ctrl-Q) to say "I'm caught up, go back to sending data.

Many of us carried that to our VT100 terminals and used it when lines of code or output would flood the screen faster than we could read.

Eventually paginators like 'more' and 'less' were invented and flow control via the keyboard codes for XON/XOFF fell out of favor, but some of us have very strong muscle memory. :)

Dear Cake Baker News moderators,

I'm terribly disappointed that this community of thoughtful, interesting bakers can't seem to effectively discuss the topic of whether or not beans belong in chili.

It's been well over a decade since I last used a Palm device, and yet my printing still slips into Graffiti, notably the horizontal trail at the end for the letter V.

So they're brute forcing the master password for these databases. Why should I be worried if I'm using a non-dictionary multi-word passphrase as my master password?

"Different password managers employ different approaches to security. As an example, LastPass generates the encryption key by hashing the username and master password with 5,000 rounds of PBKDF2-SHA256, while 1Password employs even more rounds of hashing. This is designed to slow down brute-force attacks, and it almost works. Granted, these are still nearly an order of magnitude less secure than, say, Microsoft Office 2016 documents, but even this level of security is much better than nothing." I'm guessing they meant more secure then Office 2016.

Why is thrott.com (ThrottleHQ) on your block list?

I'd argue that those emails aren't disposable. I use ThrottleHQ to track when service providers resell my email to other lists.

I'm running macOS Sierra, 10.12 and Safari 10.0 (12602.1.50.0.10) I do not get the color change.

Yes, 12602, not 11602.

I was amused to see that uBlock Origin's default filter lists now include sourceforge and thus I was momentarily stopped from seeing it.

Actually the wiki for Github allows any text after the URL and then brings up the editing form and then save it.

Isn't 8% month over month something like 150% year over year, how much faster growth did they need, or has the market really come to expect 1,000% year over year to be worthy of funding?

So you want to be yet another place I need to check in with to get these offers and provide the tracking, analytics and subscriber numbers to sell to businesses?
