"Ah so that's why I kept losing money!"

But seriously, safe to assume they meant to say calls and just accidentally wrote the wrong one.

The hypothetical "Odingate" article in a reliable source would probably have to discuss Odin enough to also be a viable source for Odin itself; problem solved.

They have easier options. For one, just don't put a drive in the newer ones.

"Quietly," like in "has quietly become the biggest/best X" is silly and everywhere, but "quietly" in this sense of "they didn't announce it and people just happened to notice the change" is fine and descriptive I would say.

Well, they're only looking at whether the pymetrics gameplay algorithm ML thing recommends the candidate, not any of that other stuff. The outcome they're looking at here isn't whether the people actually got hired, or got passed by other screening layers or anything.

The 83,000 applications to Fortune 500 companies, that was a different previous study they compared their results to. This paper's takeaway is that unlike that Fortune 500 data, the applications here that went through an ML vendor's screening process showed evidence of "systemic rejection," where some applicants got rejected across the board at higher rates than you'd expect if they were facing independent would-be employers.

I think SteamOS itself also now officially supports you installing it on any PC. (Ah, actually that's mentioned in this post even.)

I remember the gradual shift in Linux both due to internal changes and changes to what machines generally had, from IDE/ATAPI/ATA to Serial ATA, meaning things switched over to the SCSI subsystem and your old familiar hda drive was now at sda, and maybe you needed to use sdparm instead of hdparm, that kind of thing. And I think even if you still had an old ATA system that eventually got pulled under the SCSI umbrella internally as well.

Though now there's separation again with NVME being its own separate system.

Obviously it depends what you're working on, what your patterns are, and so on. But my experience is that PHP involves so much array wrangling that devs are more likely to have a handle on what an array will do in this context (an empty array is falsy).

It's the string ones (in particular that in addition to the empty string, "0" specifically is the only other falsy string) that tend to catch people out.

So, they didn't face any consequences. Did they at least keep the original grade or was this so well explained they also got the re-grade?

The US hasn't formally declared war since World War II.

I encounter a few native Linux games from time to time on Steam, mostly indies and other smaller games. There was a time there was a medium-sized push for this, Steam was pushing it, lots of Humble and GOG stuff came out with Linux versions...

But yeah, Proton is so good now that I don't think there's much impetus to port. Test on Deck/Steam Machine/Proton, sure, but not so much port. Steam Play also handles runtime container stuff for native Linux games so that can be pretty good and stable itself, but I've definitely had situations where switching over to the Windows version via Proton is a better result than the native Linux one.

They do also run actual commercials if you're crazy enough to show up before the showtime.

AMC is also interesting because even in the "real" trailer period they have a long ad for AMC itself but also for Coke, then another for themselves telling you to sign up for the loyalty programs, then another for themselves with Nicole Kidman in the theater with her suit with the silver pinstripes. A little thing for the theater is normal but they're going way overboard with it and it's hard to believe it's really effective.

One of the joys of having Moviepass in that brief period where it was very cheap but still worked was going to random late-night showings of stuff I'd have never otherwise seen, sometimes being the only person there.

Of course you can still do that with the surviving "all you can eat" plans, but they're way more expensive and aren't quite as generous.

AMC have taken to just saying outright that everything will start 25-30 minutes after the posted time. Which is interesting, I guess they're trying to blunt the negative effect of the long trailers but I'm sure the advertisers don't like it.

Oh yeah, duh.

Still every machine I've looked at, and I've since looked at a couple more, has it r-x for world.

It being readable is the default configuration most places, after all the purpose is to call it from a non-privileged user. But I could see it being made non-readable since its use is discouraged nowadays... though then I'd expect sudo to be readable as an alternative.

Not at least slapping a pixel font on there is an odd choice given the purposeful nostalgia goal.

Yeah, I want to say you could press the number keys or F keys or something like that to toggle layers on and off, and it was absolutely necessary in some misty forest/jungle/waterfall type areas.

Sure, I was more speaking to usage... I'd have to imagine that querySelector* dwarfs evaluate in actual usage. Chrome's stats put evaluate at about 5% of loads; I'm not sure they have tracking for querySelector.

Of course XPath has its place and is the better tool for some situations. On the PHP side XPath has been supported for a long time, while the querySelector stuff is quite new.

Yeah, querySelector/querySelectorAll are totally widespread in client-side, it's nice to finally have them in PHP's newer DOM. Definitely what people are used to doing.

An admin has now semi-protected the article.

Some of this is just really widespread imprecise usage of terms: what really should be called "YCbCr" in digital contexts is frequently called "YUV." So-called "YUV" digital formats for video are really really common, and they're used for both NTSC and PAL. "YUV420," YCbCr using 4:2:0 chroma subsampling so the two color components are half the resolution in each dimension vs. the luma, in particular is super-common.

The Wii seems to actually use "YUV422" internally, so 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, where the chroma is only halved in one dimension. The conversion to analog NTSC or PAL signals happens later in the process. The repository here actually looks like it sets up the Wii's video interface to output NTSC progressive by default, but lets you configure for PAL with a config file.

Building against the Steam runtime containers seems like the other route, which also gets you more stability.

"The dataset is organized as one Parquet file per calendar month, plus 5-minute live files for today's activity. Every 5 minutes, new items are fetched from the source and committed directly as a single Parquet block. At midnight UTC, the entire current month is refetched from the source as a single authoritative Parquet file, and today's individual 5-minute blocks are removed from the today/ directory."

So it's not really one big file getting replaced all the time. Though a less extreme variation of that is happening day to day.

The IEEPA one works where it can last as long as the "emergency," which Congress can vote to end. The "days don't count as days" game just lets the House have an easier time of not bringing it up for a vote.

This other authority is different: it's limited within the law to 150 days and then has to be extended by Congress. So the same kind of strategy of just avoiding a vote doesn't work here. They could monkey with the deadline, but can't do so any more easily than just actually extending the tariff for real. Of course just like today you can have Trump jump to some new authority on day 151 instead.

The first one, the one based on the book, was great and did fly a good deal under the radar. But definitely one of those ones with a core fanbase that evangelized for it and good critical notices. Elsewhere in this discussion Jared Harris's role in Foundation has been mentioned; he's a major, consistent, and excellent fixture in The Terror.

Since they used the book's story already, they made a turn for the series to be an anthology of loosely thematically-similar stories (think American Horror Story). The basic setting of season 2 is Japanese internment during World War II in America, and it's from different writers than the first, and of course isn't adapting the novel anymore. It was much less popular both in terms of viewers and critics.

I'm a little surprised they think the brand still carries enough power to put another original story in there under its name for a season 3. It's also a bit of a double-edged sword: you do get name recognition and some built-in initial audience, but you're also taking on expectations and baggage from the original. This is a factor in season 2's tepid reception, and there have been other similar attempts to slide something unrelated in under an existing banner that backfired: True Detective Night Country comes to mind.

The heading above that:

"There is an ongoing incident that will force issuance to be halted."

Feels like they were alerted to some current problem severe enough that "turn it off now" was the right move. Breaking the baseline requirements somehow maybe?

I would say there's a couple aspects.

The crawlers for the big famous names in AI are all less well behaved and more voracious than say, Googlebot. Though this is all somewhat muddied by companies that ran the former "good" crawlers all also being in the AI business and sometimes trying to piggyback on people having allowed or whitelisted their search crawling User-Agent, mostly this has settled a little where they're separating Googlebot from GoogleOther, facebookexternalhit from meta-externalagent, etc. This was an earlier "wave" of increased crawling that was obviously attributable to AI development. In some cases it's still problematic but this is generally more manageable.

The other stuff, the ones that are using every User-Agent under the sun and a zillion datacenter IPs and residential IPs and rotate their requests constantly so all your naive and formerly-ok rate-based blocking is useless... that stuff is definitely being tagged as "for AI" on the basis of circumstantial evidence. But from the timing of when it seemed to start, the amount of traffic and addresses, I don't have any problem guessing with pretty high confidence that this is AI. To your question of "who are the customers"... who's got all the money in the world sloshing around at their fingertips and could use a whole bunch of scraped pages about ~everything? Call it lazy reasoning if you'd like.

How much this traces back ultimately to the big familiar brand names vs. would-be upstarts, I don't know. But a lot of sites are blocking their crawlers that admit who they are, so would I be surprised to see that they're also paying some shady subcontractors for scrapes and don't particularly care about the methods? Not really.
