I'm glad I understood you correctly. There are some serious parallels between Putin and Hitler and both of their penchant for threatening and annexing places all in the name of Ein Volk! Putin and his clique have an amazing skill at keeping a straight face when they talk about de-nazifying Ukraine.

We stayed somewhere eight years ago where the host complained and that they were disappointed we didn't put the recycling in some bins somewhere or put the rubbish out (we didn't know where nor whether the locality had rules about these), that we didn't do the dishes (we left them air drying), that we left the place dirty (we tidied up, swept the kitchen floor, but we had a toddler too). There was an enormous cleaning fee for that place too. Never mind I had to clean the ashes from the choked fireplace before I could use it, despite it being one of the big selling points of the cottage. We did far more than we needed to in cleaning. Years later, that host is no longer on AirBnB and other hosts tell us we're great guests and they don't understand that one bad review. It's annoying, we can't even see that review or know what was actually written about us.

And that's nothing compared to his dad. That dude is guilty of a number of genocides, and his temper tantrums and logic put Lord Emperor Trump to shame. Like, punishing his pet nation for its leader conducting a census that the god himself ordered in the first place.

As an non-American, I'm curious why the amount of screen time in schools is a matter for the FCC rather than the Department of Education?

Quick reminder that most commercial software doesn't actually have the problem that git was designed to solve - multiple masters.

I'm not sure that git solves the multiple masters problem. There are two things I wish Linus had done differently with git:

1. The multiple masters - If I make a change on a branch, and you make a different change on the same branch, when we try to pull from each other we should not have to decide which one "wins". Monotone solved this with "divergent heads".
These things need to be resolved, I just dislike that git forces you to do it up front rather than first have the two heads and then resolve it. There are ways of working around this, but they depend on people following a process rather than it happening by default.

2. That most file metadata isn't a first class object in git. I understand why Linus didn't want timestamps, and didn't care about anything other than the execute bit, but it would have been nice if this was supported as a first class thing that is then disabled/ignored based on repository flags. I understand that this makes things like merging more difficult - harks back to my first comment - but as a result we end up with things like etckeeper to work around these limitations in git.

Anthropic says its bespoke system isn't right for general use. There will be no open source release. Nonetheless, the company contends that its own code scaling problems will become commonplace in other organizations over the next few months, so it wanted to share its approach

Why release the source code and make it freely available when you could train your AI on creating a source control system and then have people pay to build their own using your AI?

according to The Moscow Times, an independent newspaper.

In Soviet^H^H^H^H^H^Hfascist Russia, there are no independent newspapers.

Imperial units only in name, a lot of the time. The US gallon is tiny, as is the US pint. US tons are light too. These are not Imperial units.

Do you account for VAT (nearly always included in UK prices, at 20%) and sales tax (nearly always excluded in US prices, at variable rates)? The comparable price is probable £13.33 for the UK, or $17.64 for 500 (3.53 cents per tab).

This happens all the time for positions that don't have H1Bs. It's not unique to hiring and retaining H1Bs. Any business, institution or government agency that wants to fill a position and is required to publicly post a position has probably done this if they already have a specific candidate in mind.

True to a large part, but it also depends on which population you're referring to, and I don't tend to be very America-centric. For example, Britons made over 91 million overseas trips in 2024, of which 71 million journeys were to Europe:

That's for a population of 69 million. Of course, there are people like me who went abroad eight times that year, and plenty who don't. Except for Portugal or Iceland or Western Africa, all of those trips involved a time zone change. Of course, you said "most", which could be 51%. The point is: a large number of people do regularly travel across time zones.

Can't you just run the following instead of installing something, or did these change with Arm Macs?

pmset -g therm

sudo powermetrics --samplers thermal,cpu_power -n 1

The other clue is the kernel_task process unexpectedly running at high CPU load.

I always preferred bayonet mounts over Edison screws. Thankfully 90% are the former around here. But I digress... I changed all my light bulbs to LED ones about nine years ago when we did some renovations and haven't changed any since. What the hell's going on with yours?

The wildlife in Amsterdam is very engaging to watch!

That's easy to fix around here: if the employee was working at the time, they represent the bank, so ask the bank about their GDPR policy and information about the recordings the employee made and how they're being handled.

I'd think the bank would want to stamp that practice out anyway because they don't control the recordings, which could lead to a security issue for them.
