nulluser,

Thank You RBG, for clinging to power right to the bitter end.

nulluser,

I think you’ll find you’ll start getting taken way more seriously online when you start typing like an adult. Use whole words, not stupid abbreviations. Capitalize and punctuate appropriately.

nulluser,

So, is nobody going to mention the picture of two smiling kayakers chosen to accompany this article?

nulluser,

Who says it was accidental?

nulluser,

I would agree, with maybe two narrow exceptions. 1) Participation in a coup or insurrection against the federal or any state government, and 2) any action with intent to fraudulently deny any other person’s right to vote or have their vote counted.

Would usually be hard to prove intent on the second one, but just the threat of it would probably stop a good bit of this nonsense. If you’re trying to block others from having their fair say in our democracy, then you shouldn’t have a say yourself, anymore.

nulluser,

One should be able to deduce that the headline would be different if he had. Therefore, one shouldn’t even need to read the article to realize that one already has all of the information one needs to know the answer to this question without asking it.

nulluser,

Looks like that’s a different guy, but thanks for the reminder that they’re all pieces of shit.

nulluser,

Why don’t they just ask god what to do?

Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository (www.techdirt.com)

As a Walled Culture explained back in 2021, open access (OA) to published academic research comes in two main varieties. “Gold” open access papers are freely available to the public because the researchers’ institutions pay “article-processing charges” to a publisher. “Green” OA papers are available because the...

It selects people who don’t want to change a failing system because they are great at gaming that system.

Reminds me of the current American political system and the politicians it selects for us.

nulluser,

I think it should get paid out of the police union pension fund. Start doing that and we’ll start to see the alleged good cops getting a lot more aggressive about pushing the “few bad apples” off the force before they do something stupid pretty damn quick.

nulluser,

Repoter: So, the police arrested a gunman moments away from shooting up your dealership. What are your thoughts?

nulluser,

I don’t understand why so many people can’t just go get their own damn food. Uber eats hasn’t been around long enough for you all to have forgotten what you did before, has it? How did you survive back then?

I vow from this point forward to always pronounce it, BEE-ka-chefs.

Theoretically, they’ll test and notice that doesn’t work and fix their code before they deploy it to production.

nulluser,

WTF are you talking about? All I’m saying is that if you write code (that in the context of this discussion passes arguments to a method you didn’t write, that may not be the type the author of the method expected someone to pass, but really, that’s completely beside the point), you should, oh, I don’t know, maybe test that it actually works, and maybe even (gasp) write some automated tests so that if anything changes that breaks the expected behavior, the team immediately knows about it and can make appropriate changes to fix it. You don’t need a strongly typed language to do any of that. You just need to do your job.

nulluser,

Don’t get too excited.

Although the UK government has said that it now won’t force unproven technology on tech companies, and that it essentially won’t use the powers under the bill, the controversial clauses remain within the legislation, which is still likely to pass into law. “It’s not gone away, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Woodward says.

James Baker, campaign manager for the Open Rights Group, a nonprofit that has campaigned against the law’s passage, says that the continued existence of the powers within the law means encryption-breaking surveillance could still be introduced in the future. “It would be better if these powers were completely removed from the bill,” he adds.

But some are less positive about the apparent volte-face. “Nothing has changed,” says Matthew Hodgson, CEO of UK-based Element, which supplies end-to-end encrypted messaging to militaries and governments. “It’s only what’s actually written in the bill that matters. Scanning is fundamentally incompatible with end-to-end encrypted messaging apps. Scanning bypasses the encryption in order to scan, exposing your messages to attackers. So all ‘until it’s technically feasible’ means is opening the door to scanning in future rather than scanning today. It’s not a change, it’s kicking the can down the road.”

nulluser,

I remember a very specific commercial where they were listing stuff that was “on” AOL, most or all of which was just on the broader actual Internet , and then closed with some pitch like, “AOL has things you can’t get anywhere else,” clearly implying everything they just listed was exclusive to AOL. I couldn’t understand why every other ISP wasn’t suing them into oblivion for that crap.

There is a knob in my garage which I have no idea what it goes it. I have turned it till it won’t turn both ways any nothing has happened that I could find.

Ohhh, THAT’S why my lights kept getting brighter and dimmer!

nulluser,

Pretty sure you can’t short a private company. It has to be traded on a public exchange to short sell it.

nulluser,

That was my first thought. “Are those numbers adjusted for inflation?” Glad you did the math so that I didn’t have to.

nulluser,

Just buying the mp3s and having them forever.

nulluser,

Not unless you’re “buying” it from some service that doesn’t let you download the file. Definitely don’t do that.

  • Buy the mp3s.
  • Download them (& backup to a separate location)
  • Listen to them on whatever mp3 player you want.
  • Gradually accumulate an enormous music collection that you can listen to for free forever.

A California Wine Company Had to Destroy 2,000 Bottles of Wine After Illegally Aging Them at the Bottom of the Ocean (www.foodandwine.com)

The problem — and this is a significant one — was that the company’s owners never received the proper permits from the California Coastal Commission or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which turned that “perfect environment” into an illegal one....

nulluser,

The byline on the article reads…

Officials call the wine “not fit for human consumption.”

Considering all of the other shenanigans the company was up to, I certainly wouldn’t trust them enough to put anything they made in my mouth.

nulluser,

FYI, Lemmy is just as much “fediverse” as Mastodon is. The term “fediverse” includes Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Peertube, Pixelfed, and many more. So, your first paragraph kinda sounds like someone saying, “What Internet websites do you recommend (i.e. Wikipedia, not CNN)” Just thought you’d like to know.

How self loathing can a person be?

“I need to pick a religion, but I can’t decide which… oh, yes, Catholicism looks good.”

You 👏 don’t 👏 need 👏 religion. Just live your life. Make genuine connections with friends. Be good to everyone. Try to leave the world better than it would have been without you. No magic required.

What's the best and most secure way to take a fragment of html from one document and add it to another html document with Javascript?

I’m not new to programming, but I am somewhat new to web development and I’m trying to figure out the most preferred way of taking a standalone header from one html document and adding it to other html documents without code duplication. If possible I want to do this with Javascript so I can learn with more basic tools...

nulluser,

On it’s face, this is a very odd request. I feel like, in trying to simplify the question, you’ve left out a lot of pertinent details.

My suspicion is that you have a specific problem you’re trying to solve, and, due to lack of experience with web development, you’ve settled on this solution of using JS to copy an html snippet from one document to another, when a proper solution to the actual problem is probably nothing like that. Without knowing what the original problem is and what environment the code would be running in, I’m afraid it’s going to be nearly impossible to offer any suggestions.

nulluser,

This is normally done on the server, by whatever tool is building the final html pages. If it’s just a static website (doesn’t take user input, glorified brochure), then one might use a static site generator (eg Jeckyll), each of which have their own mechanism for sharing common snippets. If building a more dynamic website with a database backend, then one would be using other tool (eg. Ruby on Rails), which would also each have their own mechanisms for sharing common snippets.

nulluser,

Shoot. Thanks.

A what, now? I hope you’re being sarcastic.

nulluser,

Are you asking?!?
