You can also just buy a Mullvad gift card on Amazon that has a random code that you have to scratch off to see.


If you squint, that almost sounds like an AGPL license but for physical chargers.


If using one piece of AGPL software forced your company to release every other piece of software as AGPL too, and then people spent the next 10 years acting surprised that nobody else was willing to touch Tesla's software with a ten foot pole


Thonny actually does this on the basic raspberry pi install. It launches into a basic mode with big tablet like buttons and then you can click "Advanced Mode" and it goes to a more normal Windows experience with drop down windows and more options. On a personal note, i've found thonny to be the easiest way to get started with raspberry pi pico development. You just plug your pico in, fire up thonny and select the Micropython interpreter and you are now live coding on a rp2040 microcontroller. It can even download the fresh U2F image to your pico. It is a very good/simple user experience.


Randomly found Advisory Circles on twitter. Really cool stuff. You're really making OSINT much more accessible to common people.


Apparently it's become so commonplace among pets that my dog's veterinary insurance policy specifically has an exclusion saying that our pet insurance does not cover cloning. I just googled "Dog Cloning" and there were a bunch of results offering the service.


Oh wow that really is a thing!

Why be sad for your dog’s death when you can just clone him.


I loved my chosen. How then could I accept the day she died? So I took from her body a single cell - perhaps to love her again.

Wait... this was RePet from Total Recall.


The video title is based on real sentiment from people in Taiwan. Asianometry is a treasure trove of easily accessible information on semi-conductor manufacturing, and business in Asia. I highly suggest you watch the video before passing judgement. Asianometry videos are no nonesense, no filler, and very eloquently explain current and past events and businesses.


ChatGPT can solve fizzbuzz with no effort at all. Not sure these sorts of "idiot"-filters are as valid anymore


Solving FizzBuzz is not the issue, that's just getting the candidate to write a template for the basis of a subsequent discussion on code structure, trade-offs, requirements analysis, and more.

Besides, in interview a candidate wouldn't use ChatGPT anyway, so I'm not sure how relevant is your comment.


Can ChatGPT replace you in an interview?


It's possible that ChatGPT or a similar language model could be used in an interview, but there are a few reasons why it might not be the best idea. For one, language models like ChatGPT are not able to browse the web or access external information, so they can only provide answers based on the information they have been trained on. This means that they may not be able to provide detailed or up-to-date answers to questions about current events or other topics that require knowledge of information that is not included in their training data. Additionally, language models are not capable of thinking or understanding the world in the same way that humans do, so they may not be able to provide nuanced or complex answers to open-ended questions.


Another issue is that it’s super obvious when a post like yours is authored by ChatGPT.


I already hate the effect ChatGPT is having on the entire internet. I don't want to read a paragraph of machine-generated pablum like this.

photopea is one of the best examples of a web application imo. Its a full featured image editing software just running in your browser. No sign up or login required and you can just upload and quickly work off a local file for your computer. You just fire it up and start working.


Agreed. As a longtime Photoshop user, I was gobsmacked the first time I used Photopea at just how good it was. Gobsmacked even more when I found out it was all written in JS and completely running in the browser with no server backend.

EDIT: apparently my enthusiasm is outdated. I just tried to load the site in Firefox [latest version] and got the following error:

"Your browser is too old (no WebAssembly). Please, update it."

What a shame!


You likely have a browser setting that needs to be changed. It runs fine for me in Firefox.


yeah I'm also on firefox and its working for me. this shouldn't be a problem mozilla supports webassembly


Yuu're both right. For some reason I had:

about:config > javascript.options.wasm > FALSE

Could be that's the default. I certainly don't remember disabling WebAssembly at any time.

Photopea working fine in FF now.


Hmm, are you on an old version of FF? I just tried it in 106.0.1 on Ubuntu and it worked fine (even with uBlock and some other adblockers).


Perhaps you should update.


  >Perhaps you should update.
Ahem....

  >I just tried to load the site in Firefox [latest version]
Fixed now, anyway. See above ^^


Its also a golden age for people who understand code and smart contracts and are willing to take advantage of others without breaking any laws. A few of the major "hacks" lately have simply been taking advantage of errors in how smart contracts were coded.


I think it is a bit naive to think that exploiting a smart contract is perfectly legal


Just because people eat meat out of a package from the super market does not mean they are okay with their bacon being raised on a farm where the pig was in a 1 square meter cage its whole life. Most people don't have the time, effort, or will to fight against large factory farming practices because they are too busy trying to survive and take care of themselves and their families. You can eat meat and still care about the welfare of the animals being raised. They're not mutually exclusive things.

Unless one is a hunter-gatherer, meat eating isn’t about survival.

Instead, what it means is that they may care; but not enough to give up or work on giving up the pleasure of eating meat daily.


I'd like to introduce you to the concepts of vegetarianism and veganism, with which one can claim to care about the welfare of factory farmed animals without being full of crap.

No one is forcing these people to participate. Being overworked is an absolutely ridiculous excuse for not being able to cut out unethically farmed meat from your diet.
