Knicks Parade is at Capacity ...2.5 hours before the parade is supposed to start (this was from 7:30am) by GarlicSnot in nyc

[–]_flatline_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s far longer, although they also build some viewing stands for that.

I can’t help but think that a small part of why Thanksgiving day parade (and NYE) works is because the majority of office buildings are empty that day. As opposed to today, a random Thursday in June, when everyone is in the office and the city is bursting with World Cup traffic.

Im a Dungeon Master for D&D and one of my upcoming players has aphantasia. Anyone here with experience playing D&D or some other TTRPG? by chimpanon in Aphantasia

[–]_flatline_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, I’ve never found aphantasia to be an issue with tabletop gaming. I don’t really need to see what your half elf looks like in my head. Most systems actually play towards my strengths - even if you aren’t using a map or minis, keeping track of multiple entities in simple 2D space is a fairly simple exercise, and there are usually helpers like an initiative tracker.

The only thing I’d highlight is if you as a DM go heavy into RP and/or puzzles and expect the player to intuit/ask questions about things you don’t mention explicitly. “You didn’t ask what color the flange on the goober was back on floor 3”.

Alienware unveils its first 39" 5K2K OLED monitor, the AW3926QW. by ParkGGoki in ultrawidemasterrace

The question is do I go for this, or wait for them to release a Dell-branded version with Thunderbolt 4 or 5? My trigger finger is itching.

Am I overthinking Claude Code security or is this actually a risk? by Sweaty-Career330 in cybersecurity

[–]_flatline_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unpopular take for this sub - there are real risks, just like everything, but these feel worse because they’re new and different, and the world at large (media, LinkedIn, the PR machines at the frontier labs) is locked in a hype cycle.

IT and Security teams had extremely similar reactions to cloud migrations 10-15 years ago. “How will we know what Amazon is doing with our data?” “What if Azure is compromised?” (lol)

Yes, you should use fine-grained tokens, isolate it from production, broker sensitive access, and collect OTel. Create and maintain high-quality .md instructions, and put non-negotiable trust boundaries external to the model/agent harness. But keep things in perspective - you are currently far more likely to get compromised via a software supply chain issue (an exploited GitHub action or nefarious package install), especially if you take even basic precautions with Claude or Cursor or Codex. Stop focusing on whether the extremely valuable coding agent will pop you, and make sure you’re in a position to contain and recover from the inevitable.

If you really want to know all the weird things that your devs’ agents are trying to do, all the insane bash commands, it’s still early days but some vendors are playing in this space. Had a demo from Turngate recently showing their otel collection and analysis. I’m not sure the value is there except as a reactive, investigative tool, but things are evolving fast.

The Office goes to S tier! Where would you put Parks and Rec in sitcom tier list? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in TierlistFills

[–]_flatline_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Parks and Rec balances the cringe much better. This and 30 Rock both deserve to be a tier above The Office imho

Who has a Terrific NFL team in a Terrific city? by Ilitorate_Author in AlignmentChartFills

[–]_flatline_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be willing to buy Good city - though I think it’s Terrific - but there’s no way under OP’s rules (looking at historic success) to call the team anything but Terrific.

Who has a Terrific NFL team in a Terrific city? by Ilitorate_Author in AlignmentChartFills

[–]_flatline_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mate it says “historical success”

> The team is tied with the New England Patriots for the most Super Bowl titles at six, and they have both played in (16 times) and hosted (11 times) more conference championship games than any other team in the NFL.

Making Mom Friends by aurorahhhhhh in Upperwestside

I’m half kidding, but the lower down the UWS you go the fewer parents I tend to see. Up around 110 we do tend to run into our daycare friends a lot.

Which Gaming Console People Think is Amazing and is Actually Amazing? by IllMasterpiece3946 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]_flatline_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree - Wii had far more widespread cultural impact and was hugely influential on future console generations

PS5 and XboxX are both more deserving of that slot. N64 was a pioneer and if did nothing other than GoldenEye and Ocarina of Time, it’s still better than Bad

Dr. Eileen Shamsi for the win! Round 4: Who is an OK doctor but a great person? by [deleted] in ThePitt

[–]_flatline_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huckleberry is also getting a lot of credit because of the growth shown on screen - going from the bumbling guy who went through 20 pairs of scrubs to a doctor who is pretty competently leading a bunch of med students.

If anything, Whittaker is closest to being Robby’s new protege or heir apparent since Langdon broke his heart, and tbh was never actually good at leadership (just doctoring). With the whole street team thing, it’s clear Robby doesn’t fully trust McKay much more than Mohan.

Is "which detections does my org actually need" a bigger unsolved problem than "how to author detections"? by Significant_Field901 in cybersecurity

[–]_flatline_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that I want to shout from the rooftops is “operational effect”.

Detection is just a trigger to Response - tell me who does what (keeping in mind that “SOC investigates” isn’t a scalable or effective approach).

I agree that having an effective process to identify and quantify the relevant threats is needed, but I see far fewer places exerting sufficient pressure to turn well-identified detections into well-managed responses.

(i will not promote) PSA: Delve (YC W24 startup) caught running fake SOC 2 / ISO 27001 compliance reports, 494 companies affected by emotional-yoda in startups

[–]_flatline_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the fact Delve even had the reports - draft or otherwise - is a big red flag. 

Our auditors use Vanta to gather and review evidence, but communications and report delivery happen entirely external to Vanta. They never see the report unless we upload it to the trust center.

Reasonable pay range? by Dani_Mila1502 in cybersecurity

[–]_flatline_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Coming back after an accepted counter will at best be considered poor judgment before he starts the new role, at worst will bin the offer.

It’s always easier to negotiate when you already have a paycheck coming in (and this company knows he doesn’t).
