When I read a recent news article headlined “Inside Donald Trump’s secret, long-shot plan to end the war in Ukraine,” my thoughts naturally turned to another election in which another Republican presidential candidate was widely reported to have a “secret plan” to end another war. Trump’s plan is more preposterous than anything Nixon ever contemplated during the Vietnam War. It displays a witches’ brew of arrogance, ignorance and defeatism. wapo.st/4aTL66f

Nejdrazsi bazen v Cesku je Liberecke tema uz dva roky. Dostalo se i do posledni Volebni Kalkulacky. Jde o to, jestli bazen jenom levne opravit nebo ho opravit vcetne vsech architektonicko-pamatkovych vychytavek za cenovku T+400m.

Je to tak politicko-socialne rozdelujici otazka, ze vetsina lidi si uz preje ho proste zborit a postavit na lepsim miste.

Prikladam foto, abyste si tu hodnotu dokazali lepe predstavit.

#curl sometimes fails to access some servers. In most situations the problem is not in curl itself but on the server side. Example:

1. Fails: curl radissonhotels.com

2. Works: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 xx Chrome/119' radissonhotels.com

3. Fails: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 xx Chrome/118' radissonhotels.com

4. Fails, too: curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 xx Chrome/1189' radissonhotels.com

Perhaps they perform #filtering to obtain improved #security? It's hard to tell, but any serious attacker surely knows how to spoof the user agent string and bypass such simple #regex

"Pura". I keď už Huawei nepoužívám roky (od P40 vrátane) na sériu "P" budem mať veľa dobrých spomienok.

Možná jste se o Liberci včera nebo dnes dočetlx nepěkné věci (klíčová slova: bazén, Uran, tygři, korupce, NCOZ). Nemělo by to ve vás ale vytvořit dojem, že to není jedno z nejlepších měst na světě. Protože je, od Ještědu až k Lesnímu koupališti. A ano, vlezla jsem tam, tenhle tejden už potřetí, ale dneska se kolem slunilo, zevlilo, povídalo si a na opejkačku u blízkých ohnišť se chystalo tolik lidí, že jsem si musela oblíknout plavky!

Let's kick this fine Monday morning off with a #curl issue filed against curl 7.37.0, released in May 2014...

#curl

As a self-unemployed ageing white dude with shitty hearing let me tell you that splurging on some really really nice speakers for my desk was the best thing I've ever done.

It's so nice to hear "everything" again. Especially the songs that helped me survive the 80s.

Being stuck at a desk is a lot less awful when you have music and some decent speakers. The sound moves through my body with these things.

Wie ich feststellen musste, wählt #congstar jetzt auch den Weg von DHL und der DB, was #digitalzwang bzw. #appzwang angeht: Für den Zugang zu Kundendaten, Rechnungen etc. soll man sich künftig eine App runterladen. Aktuell geht der Login zwar noch unter:
congstar.de/meincongstar/
das erfährt man aber erst nach Nachfrage.

Ich habe deshalb eine Mail an den Kundenservice geschrieben, denn ich finde das ätzend. Nehmt das gern als Vorlage, wenn ihr mögt:

I also discussed it at length in a thread on this platform quite a while back. Can’t remember off hand, but basically it boils down to the fact that due to lack of language support, direct style offers no way of creating a user space data structure approximating a coroutine with any real granularity, nor does it offer a graceful path into higher-order control structures when they are useful.
in reply to Daniel Spiewak

The various “direct syntax on monads” libraries do make this possible, but due to lack of language support they tend to have really rough edges. Making this technique first class (and further refining it) would essentially make everyone happy and avoid torpedoing Scala’s most industrially successful ecosystems, but that argument has been made and rejected.

@menelion Yeah on a lot of newer trains in the UK we have a very similar door mechanism with the beeps and distinctive motor sounds. I was on a local West Midlands train service in Birmingham yesterday and it had the exact same door motor/beep sounds. The local overground service in London where I live have switched to these newer trains as well.

I think I have made something actually useful this time lol. A little backstory though: when I was younger and I was speaking with my friends and playing games I was screaming a lot. This was due to me wanting to scream over the chaos in my headphones. That annoyed everyone in my house so I put headphones and lower and lower volume overtime. When I grown up, the games I played were much calmer and so the problem solved itself. But, after returning to my family house after six months of apsence I discovered that my younger brother is doing an exact same thing! So I have build a session with #AudioHijack from @RogueAmoeba that automatically ducks the whole system when a signal is detected from the microphone. Oh boy, neighbors will thank me hopefully.

Ja'Han Jones reports:

"The Pew Research Center has released a report that underscores how the claims that there has been a seismic shift toward Republicans among nonwhite voters have been wrong all along."

Republicans make stuff up, and the purported shift of Black voters to Trump is totally made up. The significant question here is, Why do New York Times and major media outlets amplify this stuff? They surely know better.

As one who studied Euclidean #geometry in college, I sometimes have trouble engaging too deeply sacred geometry, but that star figure on the top left actually has some really nice properties around basic fractions. At a party, I once had someone ask me if sacred geometry was a non-Euclidean geometry. Fair question. I wonder what the cat thinks.
