i do sometimes use 99 for a minute and a half when i really don't trust 90 to be enough :P
also regarding today's xkcd
i feel like that's actually not that weird
like even if you're committing the same amount of time you're not committing the same kind of time
even though you can pause a movie partway through a movie is generally not designed to be watched in tv-episode-sized chunks
and the original release schedule is usually more spaced out, so the individual installments have to have more stuff to stand relatively alone as separate experiences, etc.
Since HSTS has a max-age, you can send a victim fake NTP information (IIRC most NTP is still plaintext? def don't quote me on that tho), and then HTTP downgrade attacks will work
Don't know if browsers' HSTS preload lists have max ages
Presumably HSTS preloaded TLDs like .site and .dev wouldn't be affected
@RydwolfPrograms It makes perfect sense in the context of the comic book/album storyline but I guess it would probably kinda worry parents and stuff :p
Introducing my new post-hardcore band "From Discord"
Reflecting on how order has arisen from chaos and discord and totally not so that searching "band From Discord" gives you results on spammy VPNs and Discord TOS pages :p
Everyone always compares the strength of the stock market by the dow Jones. You never hear them comparing it on the down Joe's. I think that should change
It is 88 words and contains 7 commas, including one in parentheses
@Ginger The diagram is that of a sheep's stomach(s). Sheep are ruminants, which means they have four of them, one of which is called the Abomasum (supposed to be ab-omasum presumably). But it looks like Obamasum.
Okay I'm filling in a template for an AP Research study planning thingy (which we'll be giving to an IRB) and this is one of the pre-filled-in things from the student it was copied from:
I am intrigued to know what they were studying...
Wait what
Why do you need anonymity and fears of "political incorrectness" when you're talking about...nuclear power?
Like I don't think you're gonna trigger the liberal snowflakes by asking about Fukushima
And I don't think you need extreme anonymity when confiding in someone that you think nuclear disasters are bad :p
2017: It is two and a half minutes to midnight, 2018: It is two minutes to midnight. 2020: It is 100 seconds to midnight. 2023: It is 90 seconds to midnight. 2026: It's midnight just die already okay
And it's not like a nuclear exchange between the US and Russia would even be world-endingly bad. Sure tens of millions would die, and it'd be the biggest tragedy in history, but China, India, Brazil, etc. would just be vibing
Nah, most of their population centers are close enough to the US's that they'd be heavily impacted
I get the point is to bring attention to how stupid it is to continue to have nukes and stuff, but creating more fear and stress is hardly the way to deescalate tensions
It's set in cold-war Britain, a couple gets separated when a nuclear exchange occurs. entire city's rubble, people die in various ways for the next hour
It'll probably be stored as around 2k 0.5mb JSON files, which will be automatically updated maybe once per day. However, an "update" will probably never require updating more than 200 files at once. I can make that number lower in exchange for more files.
The storage would not be an issue if I hosted it at home, and the CPU usage would not be an issue if I hosted it on DO, but both at once makes things kinda tough
so basically the update process probably involves downloading and building something like 100 python packages, although that number depends on how many new files were uploaded since the last update
This could maybe be run in a split setup. The droplet would do all the computing and store a cache of a gigabyte or so of files, then the RTO server would store it
it's become better with tools like Poetry, but those aren't perfect
the main reason for this was so that installs could be hyper-customized for the platform they're being made on, but I feel like the PSF massively overcompensated for that
they've kinda fixed the issue using matches and stuff, but that's a (relatively) new thing so older packages don't use it
in short, a complete dependency resolver for Python packages would also need to solve the halting problem :p
@user wait, you actually participated in the second of those convos! d:
@user anyway, what the code @RydwolfPrograms would run would do is basically download all the wheels for a package from pypi and attempt to extract dependencies from them (because wheel dependencies are deterministic AFAIK)
this wouldn't work for packages that only have source distributions, so in that case it would have to build the package first
