It isn't "a binary", it's git.exe (which has a very specific purpose). We are talking about an AI tool which wants to know the current state of the folder it is indexing, that's a reasonable thing for an AI to want to do.
You then take the default of Windows execution order of: look for the executable in the current folder otherwise check the PATHs in order. This is a Windows security issue which has been around since day one.
To me the App is preparing to do some work so it is more responsive to my requests. This is a classic trade off between security and performance, where the odds of a malicious virus being in the root of your project are very small if you are already taking best practices.
Perhaps what we really need is Microsoft to change the execution order and that the maintainers of Git add a new feature where we can block executables being in the root of a repo (or in the whole of a repo). That would prevent every app having to make the same workaround, fix the issue upstream and you'll never have to think about it again.
> can I run it until it's done 150,000km
I'm not sure I get your question. My Mach-e will have 1000-1500 charge cycles before the battery drops to 80% capacity. On a full charge of normal use I'll get 250+ miles, so that's 250,000 to 375,000 miles.
But that's a little hard to pin down, because with good charge cycles (e.g. not going all the way to 100% each charge), it should last longer.
An EV has less moving parts, so it isn't as likely to shake itself apart like a combustion engine car.
A new BYD, that's probably a different question about the manufacturer and if their build quality will hold up over time.
Because the Iranians blocked the entrances with soil. There are satellite photos showing dump trucks at the entrances and the entrances being covered over.
It was a clever move on the part of Iran, because an invading force would need to bring heavy equipment with them, which isn't going to happen.
I tested it with my recently restrung BG80 at 27lb and it came out with 26.69lb!
One improvement I'd ask for, is in the string thickness selection. I had to go look up the thickness of BG80. It would be cool if you could preload some of the popular strings in there.
Also, the string tension number is good, but I'll get it to a peak and then I'll stop to press the stop recording button and it's dropped back down. It would be nice to have a "Peak tension" or a graph of the tension.
If it goes off track I put a rule in there. It’s like a junior developer that I have to keep constraining it to project goals, coding styles and other aspects.
I have different files in there to help with being able to reuse rules for different projects.
It’s short sighted to say Europe should spend more on defence. Europe is now going to move away from US weapons and develop its own systems.
That’s a net loss for American defence companies and jobs in the USA. For the US military, costs per unit will go up, because they aren’t mass producing these systems at the same scale.
Trump didn’t just step back from an alliance that existed for 80 years, he also burnt the bridge by destroying trust.
For Europe, it’s probably a good thing to kickstart a new economic recovery, e.g. German automakers can switch to tanks and IFVs.
In England we call them "Indicators" as opposed to turn signals. My driving instructor said, they are call that because they are only indicating they might go that way. Never assume they will. It was some defensive driving advice.
I can understand that it's annoying that inconsistent use of turn signals is an annoyance, it isn't as bad a people that don't use them at all, but my understand is that the American road system doesn't have roundabouts like we do, which kind of require good indicator use for smooth driving.
This isn't a criticism but feedback from someone that is looking for a 3rd party auth service.
I am starting up my own business, I have spent some time evaluating AuthKit and I can't justify investing time on it. Specifically, I want to target small to medium sized companies that want SSO built into my services.
The fact that the auth would be at an *.authkit.app domain is disconcerting, users would think they have been click-jacked because they have left the domain they were expecting. Your comment about custom domains costing because of Cloudflare is strange given how much CF charge verses the $99 per month cost you charge, there seems to be a big order of magnitude difference, since under the Pro plan they charge 10c per additional domain. Perhaps you have additional services behind that, but it seems strange:
https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/plans/
The "Powered By x" would actually be preferable, many people are used to seeing thing like that on payment screens.
Also, the SSO connectors being $125 per month per connection, rules out my target market. That is a lot in my market and it doesn't ease off as I grow, it's a fixed base cost. As I grow to 20-30 customers I'd be better off hiring a developer to implement the same features.
I get it that I am not the target market; that big businesses wouldn't bat an eyelid at that kind of costs. But for my purposes, I can't justify your costs. Good luck to you.
Not to diminish your point, but to add to the discussion.
I would point out that landmines are also indiscriminate and allowed within warfare. If anything mines are slightly more indiscriminate due to you not needing to have accepted a device.
Although I think morally people are against the use of mines, we've seen widespread use of them in Ukraine. It would be good to see a global ban on these type of methods.
I know people that invested in property and they either didn’t consider the risks they are taking (not servicing boilers) or the time managing tenants. If you end up with a court case, you are going to shorten your life through stress.
I get it that mortgage money is cheap leverage, but I think the good times on that have run out.
> Fix problems the way they're normally fixed
I think that's the problem. Putting your car into a garage to get it looked at and fixed is expensive to the manufacturer and the loss of time to me.
As opposed to my car getting an OTA update overnight and the only thing I notice is the reversing beep is now a slightly different tone.
You didn’t just get 67p, you also got the utility of that energy. For my EV, that’s a good 40 miles of range. That’s about £8 in equivalent petrol cost.
I have gone off the idea of solar at home. I’m on the octopus agile tariff where there are changing prices every 30 minutes. Given that sometimes I am paid to use electricity it would seem better to just buy a battery system and offset the usage.
Especially in the winter months when it’s blowing but not sunny. But I don’t see people selling this setup.
