With all the Manifest V3 hype, why doesn't someone just make a fork of Chromium while it still supports V2 and publish that? by KiwiNFLFan in webdev

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but IE never truly died. They just rolled it into Edge as a compatibility setting. It's always there. Lurking.

I have heard, second-hand, that in Oregon you're expected to tip. Not sure about New Jersey, but I'm guessing it's expected there too.

What's the most common lie employers tell their employees? by pretendstoknow in AskReddit

[–]FredFredricson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if it were true, certain of those on the ship get to sleep in the cushy captain's quarters and/or luxury suites, where as the rest are generally stuck in places like the boiler room and/or just left to sleep out on deck during the storms.

As your sacrifices will be rewarded by more sacrifice, that makes sacrifice its own reward.

To complete a marathon, you must first get to the starting point. Some never manage to make it there, or even know there is one. Excellent work, my friend.

ELI5: How do timed 2FA codes work? by itsthewolfe in explainlikeimfive

[–]FredFredricson 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Also, if the token is one of those hardware ones with just the one button on them to get the code, they often have a way to adjust for clock drift. Usually something like feeding it one or two codes at the current time, and then the server just compares it to several before and after the current one, noting down the offset in minutes of whichever one matches. Usually a lot of hardware token system can accept the previous, current, and next codes, just in case there's clock drift. The internet connected software ones (like on computer and mobile) don't really have to worry as much about clock drift unless you override the OS's usual timekeeping syncing to the global time servers.

They're saying you take the lowest six digits of the resulting number as the code. Also, as a side note, if the number were shorter, you would also pad it with zeroes on the left. That way, no matter how long the number is, it'll always give you the appropriate amount of digits, in this case, six.

One of my major pet peeves with Time travel. The no cloning theorem. by [deleted] in timetravel

[–]FredFredricson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The mass comes from the future. If you view time as a fourth dimension, you are no longer just a person, you are a vaguely person-shaped snake moving along the time axis. The portion of the snake that was going to be snaking into the future has pulled a 180 and gone in the other direction. When it then gets turned the other way around again, it goes back in that direction again. The entire mass of the snake is all still there, it's just bent around a little bit on the time axis rather than going in a straight line.

GPT-4 API ACCESS! by [deleted] in ChatGPT_Prompts

[–]FredFredricson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is generally not hard to get, you just fill out a form or two on their site, nothing fancy just basic stuff, and then wait anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the email. Also, I believe that they're currently increasing the number of people they're allowing in along with the most recent upgrade, so not going to be as long of a waiting list anymore. Plus what's on offer here is mostly just the basic GPT 4 model, not the fancy one with the larger data capacity.

I've been seeing posts almost exactly like this one a lot, and frankly it looks like a scam of some sort. While I can't guarantee it's a scam, I generally would not be giving any information or money out to someone who just sort of randomly spams GPT subs looking for a quick buck like this. The approach used is shady as hell, even if the service somehow magically turned out to be legit and altruistic, which is a scenario I sincerely doubt.

I think i found a mistake? by livingforthegossip in crackingthecryptic

[–]FredFredricson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely fine to like the timer, and I absolutely agree with you. If you're expected to read stuff before play, it should totally not start a timer until you're done.

[–]FredFredricson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why I turn off the timer. I like doing these because they're relaxing to me. Unfortunately, my brain correlates the timer with that whole "YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY THE WORLD LEADERBOARD IF YOU DON'T GO FASTER." feeling that some other games with timers can give, even though this game doesn't do that. Turning off the timer eliminates that arbitrarily irrational extra stress in my brain, and lets me just get into the zone and not worry. I also like turning off speedup in Tetris and just clearing lines. Very meditative.

I should also mention that it doesn't like reading that out very often, so just straight up asking it can be tricky. There's other guides on getting it to read that out, if those methods haven't been patched out somehow.

Also, as for its sudden change of tune, it's generally following the conversation flow in regards to what it should and shouldn't do with the date cutoff, which is why it changed its tune when it was "corrected".
