@FakeUnicode The fediverse needs you. How else will they shake out the encoding bugs between all those servers?

@idig3d @adrianbowyer The graphic seems to come from today.yougov.com/topics/politic… . Near the end they say how the surveys were done and how many people were surveyed.

@poggerslib @nikicaga It looks like this might be the source of the graphic today.yougov.com/topics/politic… . There's a section at the end about the surveys.

@chrismessina @kentd99 @AppStore I was so close... Should have realized that before even finishing my sentence.

@chrismessina @kentd99 @AppStore If it's not direct sponsorship then maybe some other mutual benefit? Maybe boosting tiktok pushes down a common competitor that they have in common?

This shift has been going on for a long time. I wonder if it's ever been any different.

@DaveHogue I think it's (unfortunately) the fact that truly passionate tech practitioners are demoralized by the industry's shift towards exploitative practices & buzzy-buzz-buzzwords, versus a true exploration and value-based innovation.

Is there an AIO liquid cooler for my PC that will let me put my coffee cup on the radiator?

If the bash patterns for Shell Parameter expansion (gnu.org/software/bash/…) were available with Command Substution (gnu.org/software/bash/…) then idk if I'd ever need cut or awk.

@Odd_Jayy Strong agree. It's been such a trope for so long: take any technology that's not widely understood, assign some nefarious intent, make people scared for entertainment.

@climagic Thanks, this helped a lot. The default blue "34 dark" never has enough contrast for me on a black background. Running this a few times after changing the setting gives a lot better context than the preview in a preferences dialog like this one

Wild story but just completely straightforward execution. RF rules are just different from the security model we want to imagine on top of the internet.

This will be a thread discussing a real world breach involving a drone delivered exploit system that occurred this summer Some details I am not able to discuss, however for the blue teams & red teams out there I hope this provides a good measure of capability. 🧵🚁 🎮🖥️🦠

@sigfpe I guess once everything has a warning then nothing has a warning? Detectorists, especially the first series, is the most wonderful enjoyable show.

What is the correct name for a cable with a USB A connector on both ends? It doesn't seem right to call it a USB A to A cable since *A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)* (cribbed from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardw…

This makes so much sense. It's reminiscent of pointer representation of a multidimensional array in C. Or the stride of a texture in graphics memory. I've never spent enough time in depth before to understand the shape and reshaping in these Python libraries

A recent exchange on Twitter made me realize that many may be using tensors without knowing how they are represented in memory, and how it makes some operations super fast. This is standard stuff common to many tensor libraries, including our beloved @numpy_team and @PyTorch.

@chelscore I felt like the green card process assumed that any entry/exit happened by air travel. Growing up near a land border it wasn't uncommon for people to cross daily or for weekend shopping. No passports are being stamped for 99% of those travellers.

Good advice for future green card or citizenship applications. The land border crossings are hard to track down for green card applications too. Even with the I-94 website it helps a lot to keep some second record for yourself.

Pro tip for anyone considering applying for US citizenship in the next 5 years: keep REALLY accurate travel records! You're required to provide the entrance/exit dates & country for every trip outside the USA. This was a lot of info gathering for me, esp for land borders!

@copystar Definitely. And the recent boom in ML image generation is another huge accelerant. If there's not already a religion around AI then it's coming soon.
