This is the kinf of annoying "holier than thou" comment which sounds insightful, but which is utterly divorced from the reality of our crumbling and dysfunctional government. Just look at how Flint, MI was handled. It took years

Try NoMachine. IME, performance is pretty sub-par, but if it's a once in a while thing you probably don't care that much. It's also got a "clean" and "modern" UI that would look right at home on a toddler&

No, the reality is that an animal is usually an asset. It costs X to feed and maintain an animal over its life to achieve Y amount of profit from its sale or the sale of its products. If X plus medical costs is greater than Y, you're l

If your only options are "bad" and "even worse", that does not mean that one option is good. They are both, in fact, bad .

That's about the only thing that makes any sense. Maybe it somehow faulted to route all traffic straight to the ONT, which could only give one address which I happened to get. And then the fiber got cut the very next day around the s

The signal may not have a single source. An attacker could also use multiple antenna to make the signal source appear as originating from some space between them. Could have multiple antenna broadcasting in time slices to maintain a constan

No, that's not it at all. This was after multiple conversations with the same person explaining the situation. There was signs on the door, on the boxes, with giant type, highlighters, bright colors, the works. This was people explicit

Yup, I've actually gotten pretty decent results out of an LLM for subjects I'm already pretty familiar with. If we ever figure out the hallucination problem, LLMs could revolutionize education overnight. I think that almost everyo

What a gloriously dumb idea. If I had that sort of access, I'd probably try something similar, and probably get the same results. Did you admit what happened, or was there a "mysterious widespread network failure"?

Nope! Only WiFi and Ethernet. I had been using my phone hotspot, but that gives me a sane IP in the local reserved block, not one from the public block. I also was using our neighboring business's guest WiFi, but again that should have

Why be content with enough money when you could have even more money? The cycle completes itself and capitalism shambles one step forward like the rotting corpse that it is.

Here's my own 500 mile email story. This happened to me about a year ago. Just a normal day at the office when suddenly the internet drops out, except for my machine. Everyone else has a network connection, but no internet. Except for

Yes, I don't really experience grief in that way. My memories of people aren't strong enough for that.

It's pretty wild. Quite often I'll have a conversation with my husband where he tells me that I've already told this story, or that I said or did something, but I'll have no memory of it. Not even a vague recollection

I'm like this, and yes, very much so. The (US) academic system is not set up to accommodate anyone, really. It's designed to get someone just below average through their standardized testing and not much more. If you don't fi

In the early days of the pandemic, the retail chain I worked for had a curbside delivery only policy. No customers in the store period, you had to call us and we'd bring your whatever out to you. No amount of signage on the door would

I really find it quite astounding just how much absolute nonsense python programmers are willing to put up with. Needing more than one, MAYBE two versions of your language installed is insanity. If I build a Python widget and send it to my

This is something I've been thinking about for a long time. How many gigawatts are electron discord clients using right now? How many are being wasted transmitting a 200MB jpeg to render into a 2" square on your phone? Your "

Completely naïve guess, but maybe it'd make sense to tap into the hip muscles to hint the controller system what you want the tail to do. In zero g, a slight rotation in the pelvis won't cause too much movement, but I think it wou

Unfortunately the vast majority of services only support SMS or email 2FA. I've set up a real 2FA app for every site I use that supports it, and that number is four: gitlab, github, discord, and my domain name provider. My bank, my uti

I don't really think that's too relevant to the core concept of using fewer bits for the most common codes. That's really a problem inherent to binary streams in general, not just Huffman encoding.

Yup.

Look up Huffman codes on Wikipedia. In short, you put the most likely or most common values at the front of the dictionary. Values 0-255 take up one byte, 256-65535 take two bytes, etc. The lower your index, the fewer bits are needed to rep
