And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

The numeric value of the ‘1’ character (the ASCII code / Unicode code point representing the digit) is 49. Add 2 to it and you get 51.

C (and several related languages) will do the same if you evaluate '1' + 2.

Fun fact: apparently on x86 just MOV all by itself is Turing-complete, without even using it to produce self-modifying code (paper, C compiler).

There was some kind of incident between the artist and a camera woman. The exact details aren’t public, AFAIK.

No standard abbreviation exists for nautical miles but definitely don’t use nm because newton metres

Since as you mentioned Newtons are N not n, Newton meters are Nm. nm means nanometer.

If they have the root access typically needed to reboot a server¹ they could also just wipe the logs without rebooting.

¹: GUIs typically have a way to reboot without such privileges, but those are typically not installed on machines just used as servers.

Is that why I haven’t had any problems? I thought it was either Google A/B testing again or my ad blocker updating often enough to keep up, but I do have a user-agent changer installed in Firefox that’s configured to tell YouTube I’m on Chrome…

There may not have been much to tell until it actually started, which was one day before the start of this month (modulo time zones, it was held in UTC+04).

It’s an annual thing apparently (except during the height of the pandemic) and this was the 28th time, hence the “28” in the name. Presumably they’ll hold COP29 next year, and now you’ve heard of that one about a year beforehand! 😛

They have a tag in the main page to point to it but browsers don’t really surface that anymore I guess?

There’s a Firefox addon to fix that. It’s called RSSPreview, but besides providing previews it also adds a little button to the address bar on sites that have tags like that so you can find the feeds in the first place.

If a deaf person decides to get an implant, or their (hearing?) parents decide for them, and later decides they no longer want it then it’s pretty much reversible, right? They can just not turn it on, or perhaps even have it removed again?

This article is talking about gene therapy, not an assistive device. It’s probably a much more permanent decision.

Given the state of US politics, what are the odds a “commitment” like this will survive the next election cycle?

According to Halioua’s post, breeding large dogs for their size caused elevated levels of IGF-1, a hormone that promotes cell growth. Though this hormone contributes to the animals’ great size, it also hastens their aging. LOY-001 reduces the levels of IGF-1 in large and giant dog breeds, extending healthy life spans.

Would that also cause them to grow to smaller sizes? (I suppose that may depend on whether this drug is administered before or after the dog is full-grown though)

According to the article, the companies didn’t know that’s what they were doing in this case. They thought they were hiring people living in the US:

Greenberg said the workers used various techniques to make it look like they were working in the US, including paying Americans to use their home Wi-Fi connections.

This War […]

Unfortunately you’ll have to be a bit more specific than that, too many wars going on at the moment…

There’s a bit more to it than captured in the summary, which is why it’s just a summary of the spec and not the actual spec.

From a bit further down on that page:

4. Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

Lemmy is still in major version zero, so it can make breaking changes without incrementing the major version and still be in compliance with the spec. This way, projects won’t have their first “real” version be something like v123.0.0.

Lemmy still being v0.x also serves as kind of a warning to app developers that changes like this may be made at any time.

I assume you mean the table on the last page of the paper, which indeed shows WireGuard is safe against the second attack.

If you go back one page (to page 17) it has another table for the first attack. That one is less positive about WireGuard:

• The good: On Linux/Android, WireGuard is safe against that one.
• The bad: MacOs and iOs WireGuard are marked as vulnerable to that first attack.
• The ugly: Windows is marked as “local traffic blocked” which presumably means the attack failed but so does the connection they tried to attack.

If you’re using OpenSSH, the IdentityFile configuration directive selects the SSH key to use.

Add something like this to your SSH config file (~/.ssh/config):

Host github.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa

Host gitlab.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab_rsa

This will use the github_rsa key for repositories hosted at github.com, and the gitlab_rsa key for repositories hosted at gitlab.com. Adjust as needed for your key names and hosts, obviously.

Not so much a standard as in “everyone should actually use the internet at this speed” but more as in “the bare minimum level, everyone should have at least this speed available (and we’ll help pay to upgrade people stuck at slower speeds)”, I believe.

It was still a low speed for that of course. It apparently hadn’t been raised since the Obama administration (2015).

Rural internet speeds are often… not comparable to more densely populated areas, shall we say. My (European) perspective: I had about ~3 Mbit down (over ADSL) until I moved about a decade ago (on a good day, while paying for “up to 40 Mbit” (IIRC) that the line apparently just could not physically deliver to my house). Meanwhile, 1 km along the road people in town had cable internet (~100 Mbit down).

Luckily, both populations have since benefited from a fiber rollout by a smaller telco, but people in town still got that upgrade about 5 years sooner and without paying a ~€2k connection fee. AFAIK there are still areas in my country where ADSL is the best available…
