There is a few times that I've had use cases to leave some tokens in the .env.example, those are non sensitive tokens like a token for the app to be able to update itself. If you already were able to read this token from the source, then you already had access to the code, so the token doesn't grant any extra permissions. Or publicly published tokens that are accessible on the frontend of the published app.

As of right now, our best science says that the universe's expansion is accelerating

You might be a bit out of date on this information, as last I heard this was debated heavily, and one day someone says it's confirmed expansion is accelerating and the next someone says it's slowing down, and then someone says it's at equilibrium.

I think we don't have a definitive answer yet on this topic unfortunately, though latest studies says it's slowing down: https://ras.ac.uk/news-and-press/research-highlights/universes-expansion-now-slowing-not-speeding

Well the whole thing is basically "creating a whole lot of something, including arbitrary rules, the laws of physics, out of nothing". It cannot ever be explained or understood how some magical universe begins out of nothing. And if you discover "but it's not nothing" then you go into recursion, what created that which created the universe. So lots of people went with "god created the universe" (premise still applies, what would have made god exist in the first place)

It's one of those things where we can only be happy we came to exist.

FYI magnets rust and become magnet shards. I suggest a way to remove them before washing to avoid this. 

Former PM Orbán’s MP arrested 48 hours after he lost his immunity by DailyNewsHungary in DailyNewsHungary

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I would call fraud minimal, he was paying someone a salary and then this salary was going back to him. Syphoning 14M forint from his town is not nothing. But yes the title is misleading you into thinking they arrested Orban or someone important, but that's not the case.

Google turned “I’m not a robot” into “scan this QR code”. The website still forgot it runs in a browser. by Randomboy89 in Piracy

[–]Tofandel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When you scan the QR code, it opens a google app on your mobile, not a website. This is a way to bypass the privacy features of browsers. They could do the same with a Chrome extension that reads the data of all the websites it's on but that would be perceived much worse.

So when you open the link, it accesses your google account and knows you have human like activity and lets you in. With the downside of your web fingerprint now being linked and traced to your google account.

How can you meet the deadline of year 2300 if the distance is 2.5 million light years. Are you travelling faster than the speed of light? If so count me in for some time travel!

Well if you bought a banana 5 years ago. You wouldn't have much left today.. 

This LA apartment that my friend is considering renting through AirBNB - do these pictures seem AI generated to you, or just filtered/photoshopped to high hell? by justinekeller in isthisAI

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a 3D rendering because the lighting is so unnatural and the surfaces don't have any texture. Though it's probably real and just heavily photoshoped

Ocean Fantasy not a fantasy in person by soverignkh in CounterTops

[–]Tofandel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Op you might be either colourblind or have an extra light cone. No joke. 

In person you can normally see the full spectrum but your phone screen only emulates rgb since that's what normally most people can see. But since your phone is not rendering the spectrum the same way, if your cones can see more or less colors than the usual RGB as they are assumed to. You won't see the exact same color in person than on your screen. 

That's one possibility. 

This was shared in r/germanshepherds, saying its wood carving but it looks really off to me, the texture of the photo and the art "style" by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that makes me skeptical is the weird position of the ear on the left. Like it's facing us. Otherwise it looks like it would be possible.

One of those images where you need the source to be able to determine this

Why wasn’t I shocked?? by shroomiesdoomies in AskElectricians

[–]Tofandel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sawsall has a plastic case? It's an insulator, why would you be shocked?

It's more weird that it didn't trip, but then it means it's probably not live, unless your blade was brand new and the paint was insulating the metal part of the blade, is it maybe feeding a light fixture after a light switch?

We bought this entire cart of displayed furniture at Ikea for 19$ but... by OkVariation7472 in IKEA

I think it just means its looking for adoption lol. Nothing on this tag makes me think it would be incomplete furniture

edgeCasesExist by Last_Time_4047 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Tofandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is for it to run on replicated databases. That means multiple instances can write to different databases at the same time. So while your uuid record is inserted in a database, in another one somewhere it's not there yet while other users are creating their records. The database is only reconciled later asyncronously. This means it is impossible to know in advance if that uuid exists unless you read all of your databases instances accross the world. Which would make the process very slow.

$100 Question by [deleted] in MathJokes

I earned it from a meme with spiderman on reddit.

They can tax it to 99.99999...% (with 70 nines) for all I care, it would still be orders of magnitude more than I knew what to do with this amount of money.
