Ok I’ll admit, the first thought that went through my head:
100 tonnes of gold! That must weigh a lot!
Stop the boats (please)
Where this game shines is in storytelling and art. I thoroughly enjoyed it and rate it very highly, but I also really enjoy the walking simulator genre. It’s the perfect game to chill out and play on the big screen over an evening or two, very watchable for spectators too.
I don’t know about you, but if I must leak my private data like a sieve to use the internet, I’d much rather that data go to a government that isn’t governing me!
God damn, meanwhile in Australia our top tax bracket is AUD190K (USD122K) @ 45%!
Support local business!
The Xiaomi SU7 is a perfect example. Xiaomi took 3 years from concept to their very first car. That in itself is insanely impressive, let alone the fact it’s a great EV with a tonne of self-driving capability to rival Tesla, and comes in far cheaper. Watch the YouTube video about Xiaomi’s SU7 factory, it’s very impressive.
Meanwhile Apple decided to pull the plug on their first car. It’s pretty telling of the situation.
… isn’t that the point of mechanical keyboards?
I feel like you could totally change the switch resistance with magnets. Electromagnetism goes both ways… apply a variable current to a coil in each key that repels it from or pulls it towards the base?
AliExpress is the worst at this. Which category should I disable? AliExpress, aliexpress, Chat or message push? And even if I figured it out, there’s no way to stop store spammers from sending you useless messages constantly, detracting from actual sellers with questions.
That last sentence rings true of most software engineers. Everyone wants to work on a glamorous new feature that’s going to wow users or let them think about problems they want to think about. No-one wants to hunt down the difficult-to-repro bug in an old but critical section of someone else’s code.
It might stop the heat though if he’s a US puppet to appease congress.
One of the great things about Home Assistant is they give you full control over everything, so it’s entirely up to you how much you rely on local vs cloud infrastructure. It all just comes down to how you configure individual settings and plugins.
Their subscription plan is great because it allows them to continue open source development without relying on commercial sponsorship, so there’s no ecosystem bias or advertising or anything crazy like that. A great open source project.
I love that Android chose Java so they could run it on different processor architectures, but in the end one architecture won out so Java wasn’t necessary any more. I guess they didn’t know at the time, but they’d claw back a tonne of efficiency if they dropped the Java VM.
A programmer sitting in front of a text-based IDE with millions of keyboard shortcuts at their disposal has to be the least necessary use case for a voice assistant I’ve ever heard of.
I refer you to the coal mines being built in Australia.
Large data sets are valuable. And many people who hack are primarily motivated by the challenge, so targeting a site isn’t always a vendetta. Unfortunately sometimes hackers stumble across these things and are motivated by money too, because they’re human like the rest of us.
I’d love to hear more about this - do you do it professionally (for preventative reasons), as a side hobby, or as an attacker for malicious/selfish reasons? No judgement, genuinely curious as it takes a certain personality type to do this kind of work and I find it really interesting.
Everyone loves the free market until it works against them.
