OP, this title is stupidly misleading and incorrect, you should change it immediately.

The Taliban seized the DOMAIN, aka the ownership of the queer.af name that people could type into their browsers, and their system would resolve into an IP address.

As the Taliban control Afghanistan, (see where the domain comes from), this was inevitable and the instance owners were already planning to retire the instance as they didn't want to give money to the Taliban to keep it up.

The INSTANCE, aka the physical server, was not in Afghanistan, and still has its IP address(es), and so has had absolutely nothing happen to it.

I feel like her reply is just as likely to be to call him a race traitor or whatever. It's hard to reason with people who gatekeep that hard

I googled Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2 MW" and EVERY article covering this has also cited 2 MW.

Now, under Occam's Razor, what's more likely:

  1. Absolutely none of the article writers have any clue what the difference between a MW and a MWh is because none of them remember any physics
  2. Some of them could suspect that it's wrong, but an authoritative source of the claim wrote/said 2 MW capacity when they meant "2 MW peak generation" or "2 MWh storage" (I'd presume Gravitricity, but I'm struggling to find such a source, myself)
  3. One writer miswrote/misquoted as per 2, and everyone is mindlessly recycling that original article's contents with no attribution or care.

I don't know which one it is. But I'd generally lean against 1.

The FDA regulation on Net Weight is found in 21 CFR 101.105. In this regulation FDA makes allowance for reasonable variations caused by loss or gain of moisture during the course of good distribution practice or by unavoidable deviations in good manufacturing practice. FDA states that variations from the stated quantity of contents should not be unreasonably large.

While FDA does not provide a specific allowable tolerance for Net Weight, this matter could come under FTC jurisdiction. FTC has proposed regulations that would unify USDA and FDA Net Contents labeling and incorporate information found in the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Handbook 133.

NIST Handbook 133 specifies that the average net quantity of contents in a lot must at least equal the net quantity declared on the label. Plus or minus deviation is permitted when caused by unavoidable variation in weighing and measuring that occur in good manufacturing practice. The maximum allowable variance for a package with a net weight declaration of 5 oz is 5/16 oz. Packages under-filled by more than this amount are considered non-compliant.

All but confirms

So not confirmed

An API token is more secure than a password by virtue of it not needing to be typed in by a human. Phishing, writing down passwords, and the fact that API tokens can have restricted scopes all make them more secure.

Expiration on its own doesn't make it more secure, but it can if it's in the context of loading the token onto a system that you might lose track of/not have access to in the future.

Individual API tokens can also be revoked without revoking all of them, unlike a password where changing it means you have to re-login everywhere.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Lmk if you have questions, though.

When I was a new grad I was so excited to work the 9-5, thought I was gonna work on so many cool things and accomplish a ton. That obviously did not happen and these days it really feels like my entire job is to prove someone else’s impact. Everything feels meaningless and I’m absolutely sick of it, but this 9-5 grind is the only thing I ever envisioned myself to do. Does anyone else feel this way, and are there any routes out? What fields do people pivot to these days completely outside of technical roles?

So others have already talked about how great Star Trek is. I agree with them, but I think that literally everyone has missed the point of your question:

https://startrek.website

It's its own lemmy instance. It was spawned from the migration away from reddit, and it's stayed alive since. So combine an active former-reddit community with lemmy and a good reason to all rally around, and finally the final ingredient of federation, and the Star Trek related rooms will always be on every server, and they'll always be populated.

As a sales associate of luxury goods store, do you see customers wearing FANG likely to spend more or less (bay area)? Lets say you are in luxury stores like Hermes, Chanel, Patek Phillips, Rolex, etc

Poll options:

  • Sales associates will like it
  • Likely to be ignored
  • Doesn't matter

Yeah the headline is stupid bait.

They already built it. They're trying to contribute the change upstream.

Which is technically "requesting higher core support", but is a very obnoxious way to phrase it.

I very rarely care for what most 62 year olds have to say about the capabilities about the theoretical limits of computation.

This isn't much different.

Unfortunately if you let Junior play in legacy code once, it'll learn some nasty habits and make more of it from scratch, usually when you're trying to sleep.

So my girlfriend wants me to propose, saying it’s time we get engaged and try living together. And then get married by end of next year. I am 26, she is 24 and we have been together for 4 years. I said I am no where near enough secure yet, and I want to get married by 29 - 30 and get engaged at 28.

I started working only about 2.5 years ago and I’m located in Chicago, and have trouble saving barely right now. Also my girlfriend doesn’t make much, around 60k, and said we can move in to the my place and she will pick up bills such as vacations and other fun expenses while I continue to pay for main expenses due to salary disparity.

My financials currently are:
120k cash saved
0 debt
10k in 401k
$2-3.5k monthly costs

Can I somehow make this move or am I right I am no where close enough to make this move yet. I also wanted to save an try to FIRE for myself, but she said I am over doing it and to stop worrying about money.

What do y’all think?

TC: 160k
YOE: 2.5
