I was thinking that you have to hold very still for macrophotography like that to come out so clear.

You have to wonder about how they take pictures like this. Maybe a box full of mosquitos: “stick your arm in here - for science” then “quick! Put your arm here. Don’t move. Don’t even breathe”.

Siamese twins

It is still pretty amazing and life changing for the recipients.

I deploy hundreds of docker containers every day that run general purpose operating systems. These bills seem dumb at a fundamental level regardless of the terrible privacy implications.

If you really need that many connections there are some tcp tunables you can do to help them be more efficient.

You can also look at how many network sockets you have open and where they are connecting. netstat -an will give you a quick look. lsof can help you figure out what is using those ports.

Your number of python file descriptors went up after that change. Have you looked at what python stuff is running? Something isn’t closing files or sockets after it is done with them.

As someone who has been coding for over 40 years, this is so true.

Except for nuclear bombs in the hands of a toddler with dementia.

Go fishing until they are dead. Time will fly by.

Are pets livestock, or did they miss a category of mammals? In the US there are more dogs than children.

I was in a computer store a few years ago watching a young guy trying to sell a tablet to an older woman. He said “the good news about this is that it can’t get viruses because it runs apps”.

Nice.

Obviously all that camouflage painting actually works. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen all the time because so many of these big trucks are just plain invisible.

My desk job

In my experience, most bureaucrats want to help you. Yes, there are bureaucrats who just love the process or those who somehow bend the process for there own self interest. However most get into that line of work because they actually care about their cause and want to do right. BE NICE even when it seems pointless and ridiculous. It is amazing how much help you can get if you don’t approach it with a huge ego.

I thought the reason they were raising the social security age was because “people are living longer”. That is what I just read yesterday.

Even if you aren’t storing it, if you allow unlimited length someone will break your stuff.

I was thinking they are going to have to hire bathroom guards at every bathroom to check your gender before you enter. I’m not sure how they’ll check your gender before you enter. They would have to be immune to bribes, so they’d have to be paid well too.
