Soft skills, mostly - you just find things that you're weak on (since you know enough to know where you suck) and just work on those.

...usually because they have a fork of the codebase, and it's not vanilla base OpenWRT.

Last time I opted out at the (edit: TSA) scan, a number of people behind me followed suit.

I enjoyed that. I will remember to opt out again.

Can't skip ahead to sections of their content you want to view and instead are forced to watch it in sequence.

Either that or can't skip ads, ala legal dvd playback

My thirteen year old PC is holding up fine. I've replaced the disk (condition of me getting it; it was a disused Windows machine), installed Ubuntu, Debian, then Kubuntu, and upgraded the video card, but beyond that...basically as it shipped from Dell. The last BIOS update was 2013.

You'd have to use this version (not sure if they back-licensed old versions) but MIT would mean you wouldn't have to agree to that draconian licensing.

AIUI (I don't have any of this hardware) SteamOS is really meant for the Steam Deck; while there's "basic support" for the ROG Ally, it's not their focus. Bazzite seems to be quite happy to support everything, and AIUI it's frighteningly close to SteamOS (the same customizations, etc.)

It's not "we have SteamOS at home" - it's more like RedHat vs CentOS

As we know or a quick STFW will educate - the "airplane with red dots" refers to the idea that the planes that came back had damage indicated on them with red dots and so the initial idea was that the designers of the planes needed to armor those spots...

When it was really the case that the spots that weren't damaged were the ones that actually needed to be armored, because the planes that took damage there didn't come back.

In this case, the data that survived a selection process ("I just recommended this book that dovetails nicely") is the only data considered, when really all of the data needs to be considered.

I'm seeing this as "you're reading the data wrong" or more accurately "you're barking up the wrong tree"

stupidly does it block the Microsoft XPS printer?

(Not OP) it's a shorthand to use a company's stock symbol instead of the name, especially if you're worked in the financial industry, where everyone knows what you're talking about or can look it up very quickly.

Seeing such weaknesses and poor execution generally means that a lot of talented folk are choosing not to work at that company.

Correct.

With public/private key pairs, encrypting anything with the private key means that you use the public key to decrypt that same thing. This means anyone (as the key is public!) can decrypt the thing. So if you get the public key, and if the thing decrypts successfully, then you know that the corresponding private key was used to encrypt the thing. This is considered proof that the private key holder encrypted the thing / sent the message, and that's why everyone calls it "signing" instead of "encryption" - you send the cleartext thing along with the encrypted thing.

For private messages, you encrypt with someone's public key and have them decrypt with their private key. You'd sign it with your key, and that person would verify the signature with your key. That's 4 keys you need to worry about.

This doesn't even begin to consider key rotation, perfect forward secrecy, multiple recipients, etc.

I would say that it's not "new" that presidential power has expanded. That's very new, and every president over my lifetime has expanded it bit by bit.

4547 is just doing so at a much more rapid pace and using obscure laws that no one wanted to take the time to clean up.

I expect that if we get out of this the American populace will insist Congress tighten up its books and repeal and clarify some of its more obscure laws.

I think B is the case - it seems to be very regionally specific.

Flash was one of those things that tried to do too much, and some of its things started being at cross-purposes with each other. The video conflicted with its roots as a vector/animation studio, and that's why Apple famously didn't use it - it ended up being a battery hog.

A lot of interests in web-based video wanted DRM, which meant it was never going to be usable by Free Software.

It was trying to do too much and then the usual corporate mismanagement led to its demise.

Hangul fits Korean like a glove, at least.

Radiators were originally designed to heat more than needed, so you could open the windows.

In New York, at least - the standards were never changed to accomodate for closed windows in 1920. Snopes has a rundown. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/apartment-radiator-pandemi...

This is such because the US has a First-Past-the-Post system, which encourages only two parties.

Things like Ranked Choice Voting change the dynamics. Some states have implemented this. I think AK & ME.

I/we have the opposite problem. My wife paid extra and got a REAL ID, I resisted. I just got a passport instead (as did she).

My wife, when she renewed her DL this time, got a drivers' license stamped "NOT FOR REAL ID PURPOSES" because she didn't bring in her identity documents AGAIN to the DMV.

Screw that. The passport lasts twice as long as a driver's license, and we're going to carry those anyway, so...why pay extra and have to remember all these documents? Passport renewal is easier.

YYYY-MM-DD should aggravate everyone equally, switch to that

When people we know are getting married ask us for our address, I explicitly reply that we are not to be addressed in that manner (I find it somewhat insulting).

I can tell if the couple is doing addressing themselves or if they're having an older relative do it by if our instructions have been followed.

Having had a bit of it with my wife (she changed her name) my policy is to make the check out to the person who is not changing their name.

My boss and I once justified a visit to one of the Autodesk conferences (which was, in my opinion, quite lavish and expensive) by my getting time with some of their API developers. It was maybe 15 minutes, but it was worth every second.

quack.exe performing noticeably worse in benchmarks on certain cards than quake.exe in the late 90's/early 2000's?

AIUI Bill Clinton did not lie:

The way I heard it, the government used a specific language for "have sexual relations with" (hereinafter HSRW):

A HSRW B if the mouth, hands, or genitals of A touch the genitals of B.

Any hackernews regular would notice that HSRW is not associative - as in it is entirely possible for A HSRW B to be true, but B HSRW A to be false; in fact this was the case for if A's mouth touches B's genitals; A HSRW B but !(B HSRW A).

You can whine and plead and ask the question 4,000 times, but at the end of the day, if one don't understand logic, you might be a Republican Senator in the 1990's.

You can't use the student aid legal office, which is part of the university, to help you sue the university. That's a non-waivable conflict.

The only laptop that fits the bill is the OLPC XO. The XO-1 is 18 years old...

and yes I did work outside a few times, with rdesktop

Came here to ask the same question. The OLPC Screen's "transflective" mode was absolutely amazing when it came out EIGHTEEN years ago in 2006.

I mourn that the tech was never commercialized and that some company is sitting on the patents.

I think it's time to boot the little computer that could, see what the latest distro is for it, and turn it into an E-Reader.

I enjoy reading articles (even if this one felt like it had been translated slightly clumsily) where scientific rigor has been applied to something mundane.

I've gained an understanding, at least.

I saw it as more along the lines of "this is why men should get it" - the context is already established that HPV should scare men and here's why...
