The LHC is a project of CERN

The page about upgrading [0] does have this warning:

  Back up your data
  
  Performing a release upgrade is never without risk. The upgrade may fail, leaving the system in a non-functioning state. USERS SHOULD BACKUP ALL DATA before attempting a release upgrade. DebianStability contains more information on these steps.

Can you not achieve the log history on a subtree with `git log my/subfolder/`? Tools like TortoiseGit let you right click on a folder and view the log of changes to it.

There are also some lovely cut in half shots in Chris Young's YouTube videos (one of the people that worked on Modernist Cuisine). e.g. https://youtu.be/IZY8xbdHfWk?t=239

This is called MVHR (mechanical ventillation with heat recovery) in the UK. We're looking at putting it in, but have a fairly poorly insulated house, so it's not clear if the heat recovery is worthwhile. There is also PIV (positive input ventillation), which blows fresh air into a property (normally the hallways), but does not recover heat, or duct air from the rooms. So it's much simpler and cheaper to buy and install. It relies on the natural 'leakiness' of the property to vent stale air out.

Regarding the new database version issue, I wonder why the caching layer can't just pass any query it is unable to process on to the underlying database?

This would be more complex if the feature you are using does not return a normal table of results back (e.g. the pub/sub support in Postgres).

My point is that the lower risk for the majority of the journey will offset (partially or fully I do not know) the increased risk on take-off and landing. I would guess that the overall risk will end up lower for a WIG craft than a traditional high speed foiling vessel.

Also rocks are only a concern in a small area of ocean around the takeoff and landing areas, which will presumably be fairly well surveyed.

It's only hydro-foiling on take-off and landing, in flight it's a plane in ground effect flying just above the sea.

My coop has the worst of all worlds. There used to be four self checkouts, but they removed two during covid, and another one after it developed a fault. So you have one self checkout, with a member of staff that has to juggle baby sitting it and manning a basket checkout. It would be much quicker if they just removed the last self checkout and had the staff member man the checkout full time.

In Waitrose (UK) stores at least this is not the case. When you are spot checked the staff member spot checks that a few things in your trolley have been scanned. They tend to check some higher value goods like alcohol.

Also those stores, at least where I live, have no physical barrier to exit.

Pressurised airframes also have a pressurisation cycle limit

I would be concerned that the carbon fibre has been significantly weakened by the impact.

https://www.resinlibrary.com/knowledge/article/can-carbon-fi...

Since fibre strength significantly exceeds that of the matrix (epoxy), damage usually occurs in the matrix before the fibres for laminate composites. In some instances, this is relatively easy to detect; snapped fibres protruding from the object’s surface. Yet more microscopic damage – something which can spread through the object – is harder to detect even though it can significantly reduce the mechanical properties of the composite.

The Highway code states that those waiting to cross also have right of way

At a junction you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning

I think the substack linked in the grandparent is a continuation of this?

Is there a reason (apart from looking cool) to put the keys/player at the top, rather than have the keys at the bottom, with the strings going up?

Yes, at least in 2014 they did! https://weaknuclearforce.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/the-thing/

But not 100% of your income goes to paying for labour in your local economy. You buy goods and services that are from elsewhere (food from France, entertainment from America) etc.

It sounds like they already do:

He said that emails sent directly from the .mil domain to Malian addresses “are blocked before they leave the .mil domain and the sender is notified that they must validate the email addresses of the intended recipients”.

One of the examples is a hotel booking confirmation, which would come from a third party.

I'm a big Tailscale proponent, implementing it at work in early 2020. But for us I'm not sure this is great news. We have a small Tailnet of 5 users, paying $30 for the Team plan. If we went for Starter we'd save $18, but loose a lot of cool things Tailscale has come out with recently that we have been looking at, like user/group level ACLs, ACL Gitops,Tailscale SSH and Tailscale Funnel.

Alternatively we'd pay $36 for (3 free, 2 * $18) for Premium, which doesn't sound too bad. But the cost for each new user would be three times higher than it currently is (and Tailscale our most expensive SAAS product per person).

Or we stick to legacy pricing for now, and live with things like the Subnet Router limit which makes e.g. connecting home VoIP phones to the Tailnet price prohibitive.

I went and looked this up, because it sounded horrible.

I think a feature of these bookmarking services is that you can search through the text on bookmarked pages?

The code and the data around it also included a few thousand names and email addresses belonging to Dropbox employees, current and past customers, sales leads, and vendors

There isn't an explanation as to why customer, lead and vendor data is stored in GitHub? Or (less likely?) they allowed GitHub OAuth to log into other Dropbox internal services?

I might be misunderstanding you, but $100/mo is $1.2k/y not $12k/y.

I don’t feel like the dark patterns are really that dark when used by an education platform. All they are trying to do is encourage practice, which is very important to language learning.

Tailscale it not a VPN intended to proxy all your traffic, it’s designed to allow all your devices, wherever they are, to be able to communicate as if they are in the same LAN.

From a privacy perspective Tailscale never see the keys to decrypt this traffic, and as mush as possible the traffic goes point to point, not through a Tailscale server.

That said you do have to trust them to orchestrate setting up the keys across machines.
