I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)

RICO laws basically destroyed the Mafia in the us.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

You need to tell it to run the script

Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

Wine isn’t an emulator or a vm.

All three are different

5 Mbps is slow enough that it should be considered a free tier, like, basic service for being alive tier.

Directories are nice because they easily and clearly filter information in a human way and they naturally build a tree that can be parsed quickly by a person.

I like the desktop metaphor, because it’s how I think.

Markdown accomplishes 90% of non technical writing needs imo.

I code one feature for my job in a sprint and it becomes a value generator for a decade, making the companies hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Software developers create value out of thin air for companies, value that management and leadership is unable to generate.

But live/real time text communication with relatively informal conversations is new.

Going back 100 years, if you were writing text to have a conversation you were likely sending a letter, this asynchronous communication method means that you were putting more time and effort into each message as it was a lot of effort to get the message to another person (even if that is just hand delivering it to your neighbor)

You also weren’t expecting immediate responses. The expectation is that a decent amount of time is going to pass before the next phase of the conversation.

Instant messaging is basically brand new as far as the history of written language goes. So with it comes new paradigms in discussion.

Emojis offer a great way to express emotions that succinctly convey a lot of information. Great for back and forth conversations.

Being able to react to a message with 👍 is awesome and really not much different from all of the other initialisms that have been developed on the Internet over the years.

Plus one for shoehorn, underrated and my friends always make fun of me for using one for some reason. Meanwhile I’m standing with my shoes on comfy while they tear their fingers up trying to slide their shoes on

You should still check, as the tpms may only warn you when it gets too low but generally driving even just a couple psi off can have a big effect on fuel economy and tire life.

A house is 1/5th of your annual income and you can’t save up a down payment?

A 20% down payment for you is only 2 weeks of your salary.

You could save income of about 6 hours worth of work each week to have a 20% down payment in a year

With an FHA loan, a down payment is 0.6% of your annual income.

Why is it actually different?

If I study a painting (train a model) and then replicate the style am I stealing the painting off of an artist?

If I illegally obtained a copy of the painting that i studied, would the piece that I generated belong to the artist of the painting i studied?

If I go to a wine and design thing and paint a picture after being instructed how and following specifically with a template, does that make my painting no longer mine?

Is a person sitting in a free museum sketching in their notebook, a version of the painting that they see on the wall stealing?

Ai is not copying, the work that it generates is novel. The training data may have been obtained illegally (debatable and not settled in law) but that doesn’t make the generated work any less new or novel.

In your own example, the people who 'went to school and learned from the masters" also don’t pay the original artists. Art students aren’t paying the Gogh estate for permission to study his paintings and they aren’t paying royalties for making something that looks and feels like his paintings either.
