I think the instance (infosec.pub) re-wrote the URL, but either did it wrong, or didn’t also successfully mirror the image.

I guess it’s just my instance, but your post doesn’t show an inline image to me.

I am, or at least was, an immature ass.

If the guys that frequently move furniture describe you are “strong for your size”, that is a powerful compliment.

If you work at a company where all of its offices are in the same time zone

coworkers ignore my 11 a.m. CDT, and invite me in their timezone

PLEASE read the comment you are replying to before submitting your reply.

Even in a single-timezone organization, I think it is still useful to use UTC+offset because it avoids DST confusion and lets the company expand to a second timezone without the team members there feeling second-class. But, GMT+offset does have costs with dealing with people that don’t really think about timezones when scheduling, and those costs might overwhelm any advantages.

“While Galactus has omniscient knowledge of all current user data providers, it doesn’t have future sight”

Just use EKS to deliver the feature this quarter, and block the OmegaStar migration on “the team gets their shit together” and supports ISO timestamps.

Was looking for this. Yes. Whenever possible, dates should be specified in a format that is BOTH RFC 3339 and ISO 8601. I’d say both have their quirks, but the intersection of the grammars is machine-parseable and human-readable without (much) legacy baggage or (much) experimental / reserved-for-future-use noise.

If the sword isn’t part of any of the lions, I don’t see why the bullet would have to be one of the robot-animal-vehicles.

They used to provide like a 3-day trial, but I couldn’t find any sort of offer like that currently active.

If you are just curious about what they have on their streaming service, you can get a rough estimate by browsing their download store. It’s not a perfect match, but it’s very close. It is quite rare for an artist / studio / publisher to let Qobuz stream it but not sell a download or vice-versa.

Another fairly happy Qobuz user here. Prior to that I used Tidal, which has a better Android Auto experience, IMO. Prior to that I used YouTube Music, and technically I still have a subscription to that because I got used to YouTube Red (now Premium) when it came free with Google Music (now YouTube Music). I prefer a streaming service; I find it much easier to discover music that way.

For digital purchases, while that is possible through Qobuz, every artist I know would prefer you buy from their Bandcamp. ISTR Bandcamp might have been doing some shady anti-union stuff, but I could be misremembering and I wouldn’t know of any great alternatives.

Fascists and right wingers too?

Probably. Certainly republicans, so fascism isn’t a deal-breaker for them.

the conspiracies tend to be different

Plenty of union members believe in the “jewish deep state”, e.g., so I don’t think the conspiracies are that different.

I agree that freedoms can be abused. And, they can certainly be used for right-wing purposes. I also agree that there are plenty of fallacious arguments for freedom, some of which are based on conspiratorial thinking. But, fighting for freedoms of the people and restrictions on the state is always a left-wing activity.

That said, I don’t know where the balance is or should be between solidarity and rejecting intolerance. At the moment, I’m more in favor of protecting marginalized persons by aggressively excluding intolerant people, particularly if their intolerant behavior is well-documented and they still refuse to reject and remediate it. So, I do see the fascists in open source as a problem.

You’ll find plenty of bigots and conspiracy theorists in unions, too. Union activity is still left-wing activity.

All Open Source / Free Software is building the commons. Strong copyleft is using the weapons of the state to help the commons stay under collective ownership.

a 5 ft fall can genuinely be deadly

Most adults are tall enough that their brain/head/face can get serious injuries in an uncontrolled loss of consciousness. Any additional height simply makes the fall harder to control and increases the energy that needs to be safely dispersed.

Yes, even falls from household ladders are deadly serious.

In addition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DydIhwLrbMk which tries to make portals act “real” by treating them as spacetime with an unusual (but not mathematically disallowed) geometry.

Yes, they are fictional, so they behave however Valve (and fan works) want them to behave, but trying to bridge the gap between fictions and current physics models and be a fun and enlightening experience.

I came to say something similar: if a flaming head fell into the cooling tower, it would just fall down to the bottom surface and not interact with anything more explosive than a steam pipe (on only then if it impacted the inside of the tower.

The flaming head in the comic continues to burn without fuel or oxygen, but a normal flame might even be put out by the intake breeze at ground level.

Large dynamic range is a good thing, in audio and video. There are a number of ways to reduce dynamic range, if you really need to. Expanding dynamic range after capture is possible, too, but more fraught.

Shannon information theory gives us ways to perfectly reconstruct the lower range version from an expanded range version, but it also guarantees that reconstructing the higher range version from a reduced range version cannot be perfectly accurate across all inputs. (Assuming a fixed output range capability.)

I suspect some “leader” at apple is the first person that decided that two different ways to use one button is better than two buttons.

Whoever they are, I hope they suffer from confusing buttons until they repeat and remediate.

Eh, one of the founders is a friend of a friend, I don’t think it’s “slimy”. Though I have complained about some aspects both publicly and privately to him.

It was easier to get into than to actually buy my own property, but there’s been a lot of changes to it since I bought my first shares of a local (to me) property.
