  • I'm curious, given the choices that were put in-front of the voters at the election, and considering the whole ballot, what would you suggest would have been the best course of action for a voter to take to minimize harm or even seek a positive outcome?

    If your point is that it should never have come to that, then I would agree with you, but it did, so what would you have suggested voters do?

  • Finally, a Linux finder tool I can use

  • find can be a bit slow because it enumerates every directory recursively from the root you specified, but it let's you do a lot more than just search by name. locate is available on most distros and give fast results, albiet from when the index was last rebuilt (usually nightly). They both have the vital property that they output a list of files to stdout for further processing.

  • Sometimes I stop to think about the fact that a tiny electrical impulse in my brain can cause my fingers to move and press buttons on my keyboard, which in turn causes larger, but still small electrical impulses to trigger a shiny rock we trapped lightning in to do an immense number of calculations, to send a stream of further impulses to my network router, which sends them on to another router, and another, and on and on, each step might go via a wire, or radio, or the flashing of a tiny light, or even bounce off of a satellite in space and back to another router, until it eventually finds it's way to a server, which does huge numbers of further calculations, then sends impulses back to me, and also to other servers, via just as remarkable a route, which in turn send impulses down wires and optical fibres and bouncing off of satellites until one of those streams of impulses gets to your router, where it gets sent on to your shiny lightning rock, which performs many calculations and causes a pattern of light and dark dots to appear in front of you, which cause a series of tiny electrical impulses in your brain, that you perceive have meaning.

    The natural world is filled with magic and wonder, but this is a magic we designed and built ourselves.

  • Trump unleashes legal chaos for Elon Musk’s DOGE in speech to Congress

  • That's would appear to be the plan, yes. Push people to riot, declare marshal law, turn it into a full blown civil war and rely on the assumption that right wingnuts are more likely to be armed than those who oppose fascism. I fervently hope it does not come to that, and some way is found to stop it in time, but the future currently looks rather bleak in that respect.

  • xkcd #3058: Tall Structures

    Jump

  • From what I can find, an average sweater uses between 3-6000 feet of yarn [1]. Apparently an 'ideal' altitude for for skydiving is 14000 feet [2]. That puts you around the same altitude as high altitude aerostat radar systems[3]. It would have to be a fairly voluminous sweater, but it's probably just about within the realms of possibility. It's chilly at that altitude, so maybe it was made with several layers for extra warmth?

    I'm no wool-ologist, and even less of a jumper out of planes, but these were the sources I used to get my figures:

  • Rotating the imge 180 degrees give an excellent "cat floated up to ceiling" result. Are you sure her gravilty setting isn't just reversed?

  • A thermostatic mixer is the usual solution. Set your desired temperature and the valve dynamically adjusts the hot and cold flows to produce that output regardless of input temperatures and presures.

    Works great until it jams at the "instantly vaporize target" setting. Which reminds me, I must call a plumber...

  • I prefer thumb flicks, like on controllers, compared to mouse movement.

    I definitely prefer trackballs to mice, but you do need to find the right one to suit your hand size, shale and your prefered way of using them. I prefer to use my first finger, rather than thumb and was wondering why so many are designed for thumb, but I think you've just answered my question by comparing them to controllers.

    The slightly awkward thing with trackballs in general is the ball. You're going back to the good old days of a physical ball with dust and general gunk getting stuck on the bearings. They're easy to clean, but compared to optical mice it can be annoying.

  • I can get behind most of these, but:

    Trackpad > Mouse

    I think you have a typo, surely you meant "trackball > mouse". Obviouly trackpads are abomnations that have no place in polite company, so you couldn't have meant them.

    Caffeine is now illegal. Force yourself to stay awake and make it everyone else's problem for enforcing stupid work hours.

    You know not what you say, there are strict rules about not letting me interact with other humans before caffeine. That Geneva Convention has things to say about it.

  • New Doge/Musk Email Goes Seriously Sideways

  • Trump's beyond being able to be involved in day to day activities of governing, oportunists just do thing around him. Remember last time he was firing off dozens of incoherent tweets at all hours of the day and night? Unless I'm missing something that's not happening in the same way this time, on musk's or his sites.

  • The Daily Beast Publishes, Then Deletes Story Alleging Trump Was Recruited by Soviet Spies

  • Sure, but the question is whether he was recruited or whether he just like what Putin does to him in private.

  • Both. Do both. Make it easier for them to address the issue than ignore you. Depending on which side of the aisle your MP is on, focus your letter on either "those evil

    are doing thus terrible thing, I know you're bold enough to stand up to them." or "this policy seems to have the following problems, and it's leaving you open to attack from

    <other side>

    . It'd be a shame if you lost your position over it."

  • Russia-aligned hackers are targeting Signal users with device-linking QR codes

    Jump

  • What I find particularly concerning is that the were able to "hide javascript commands that link the victim's phone to a new device" in the payload of a qr-code. I can't see any valid use for javascript in the group joining process, I would expect the code to just be a signal URI with the relevant group ID, so is there sone external javascript interface being exposed?

  • ownership of businesses exceeding a certain value should be made public.

    That just means that businesses aproaching that value get split into two, with the same owners, via the same sorts of shells and offshore trusts.
