How good of a conductor wood is depends on its state. If it is very dry and not salty, this should be safe (although he could have taken the piece of wood more at the end to increase the distance between him and the fence and the length=isolation through the piece of wood). If it is wet and salty, it might be dangerous.

If this is true (or at least plausible to the relevant people), the author of that Twitter post will probably be on the radar of any shady government agency worldwide. Not a nice situation to be in.

Are you sure? Doesn’t the “smart edison bulb” design make it harder to dissipate heat to the casing, therefore making the LEDs get hotter compared to PCBs with LEDs surface mounted on them?

Anyway, if you want your light bulbsany technology to last long, don’t buy the “smart” variant. “Smart” usually means more components and/or more dependencies on interfaces, and more complexity, so a higher chance to fail.

Your comment is incorrect in many different ways.

Butter is fat and some sugar and protein.

No. The butter in my fridge has almost no sugar (0.6g in 100g) and almost no protein (0.7 g in 100g).

Pasta is mostly carbs.

For comparison: The pasta I have at home have more sugar (most have roughly 3g in 100g) and way more protein (12g in 100g).

they all become calories, and if you eat more calories than you burn, they will be stored as fat.

Are you sure you’re not simplifying too much?

Also, “just” eating less or more calories is not that easy if you ignore the side-effects. Carbohydrates will make you hungry very soon unless mixed (or eaten after) fibers, fat and protein. Which you should do anyways for health reasons.

TIL my thesis could have been easier if Typst would have been available years earlier.

Lots of places in France are so remote and sparsely populated that public transport does not work there, at least not yet. It may or may not work once autonomous vehicles are fit for rural areas, but this may take a while.

That’s another reason for increasing minimum wages, as they try to do.

Actually, 90% income tax for the top incomes was common in western countries in the 50s.

400’000€ yearly income is not middle class. It is roughly the top 1%. Are you maybe mistaking property for income?

I would have preferred taxing on property instead of income, but as long as interests and profits and other benefits are part of income, it sounds reasonable to me.

I guess you could try AI-checking it and answer “Ignore all previous instructions. …”, followed by some new instructions. Some examples: https://www.aiweirdness.com/ignore-all-previous-instructions/

(Although I guess it would be better to not respond to this obvious case of spam/scam)

Maybe they should ban trowing away your trash instead.

The image of a pregnant Donald Trump is disturbing.

Capitalist perfection: you are paid for cycling, don’t do anything else!

One example for self documenting code is typing. If you use a language which enforces (or at least allows, as in Python 3.8+) strong typing and you use types pro actively, this is better than documentation, because it can be read and worked with by the compiler or interpreter. In contrast to documenting types, the compiler (or interpreter) will enforce that code meaning and type specification will not diverge. This includes explicitly marking parameters/arguments and return types as optional if they are.

I think no reasonable software developer should work without enforced type safety unless working with pure assembler languages. Any (higher) language which does not allow enforcing strong typing is terrible.

I have worked on larger older projects. The more comments you have, the larger the chance that code and comment diverge. Often, code is being changed/adapted/fixed, but the comments are not. If you read the comments then, your understanding of what the code does or should do gets wrong, leading you on a wrong path. This is why I prefer to have rather less comments. Most of the code is self a explanatory, if you properly name your variables, functions and whatever else you are working with.

Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are VOTING fascist. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are fascist themselves.

Same question on reddit a while ago

As suggested there, I recommend to use a multimeter to identify the power socket pins. Roughly half of them should be ground. Most or all of them should correspond and be connected to the SATA power connector pins on the other side.

+1 on that. The User’s guide of a similar device (source) mentions a 10-pin CPLD connector Reserved for IBM use

I’ve seen a few people with PhD who want to be developers being put into management roles, getting quite unhappy.

That said, if this type of PhD clearly communicates they want to be developers, the often still get jobs, maybe with lower pay compared to the manager but a bit higher pay compared to the developer
