You can tell that people who get to the airport early know they're irrationally wasting time because they have loudly tell the whole world that people who arrive ON TIME are "late" to make themselves feel better.

If I time my arrival at the airport so that I get through security and walk straight onto the plane, I am in no way "late". I am literally right on time.

I always wondered about the shape of these horn antennas and then I saw this diagram that illustrates how they're just a partial parabolic reflector and it all made sense.

geometry of the broadband horn reflector antenna: the apex of the horn coincides with the focal point of the parabolodial reflector.

ProfG, enforced identification/registration of social media accounts isn't going to stop toxicity, tons of people spew this stuff on facebook under their real names. It sounds like it would work because you're a decent human being who values his own reputation but the evidence shows it isn't true.

It’s the most inspired thing I’ve ever seen on TV

This is just one example. Tons of software is running in sensitive production environments without anyone knowing anything about the people writing and controlling the software. We're starting to look and we're finding a lot of weirdos.

I assume "things are going to work out" means "all the countries I put tariffs on are going to buy a bunch of my memecoin"

Is this a move to avoid a possible margin call on all the TSLA stock he mortgaged to finance the twitter deal? A bailout for grumpy investors?

The only good thing about this phenomenon is that it's a great way to very quickly find out if you're talking to a drooling idiot.

it generally means following the letter of the law/regulation but doing so in such a way to purposefully produce an outcome that was not intended by the rule makers. It's absolutely not what is happening in this case.

@kenjennings.bsky.social please settle a dispute about this clue from Wednesday's match, would you have accepted "Duke of Windsor" here? At the time in question, he wasn't yet Duke of Windsor, in the general case does the name of a person at the time specified in the clue matter? TIA

Why not say "this is a lie" rather than just the mealy-mouthed "this is a strategy"???

Memphis had an arena league team that played in the pyramid in the 90s (obviously they were named the Pharaohs)

yes that was MY point, a simple "CVE-1 good" is not always a true statement. You have to figure out the cost and the benefit. Remediating some CVEs actually makes you worse off because of the opportunity cost.

010

Paul Novarese @pvn.li · 26/12/2024

Sure, but there is a cost to every CVE you “remediate” and that cost isn’t constant (and the benefit of each remediation isnt constant either).

Paul Novarese @pvn.li · 26/12/2024

people are obsessively chasing "zero cve" and the benefit is absolutely imaginary. The amount of effort put into this is almost entirely waste heat.

god yes. pigouvian taxes WORK. Same thing for using your phone's speakerphone in public. The button should be a $0.99 in-app purchase.

@reckless.bsky.social when a decoder guest brags about how data-driven their decision making is right after he just told you he went 100% with gut feeling when deciding to implement return to office, you should call them on it.
