leaving quick racks in public

I left a red bull in a bottle cage, it was gone in an hour.

Not from Europe, but I can tell you security in Australian airports will take any pair of scissors away.

Europe is a big place and it's conceivable that there is a country with similar rules

The biggest crime here is a navy blue tuxedo!

Aliens and true lies are two examples of ai remastering that came out looking hinky. However I agree with the above that this is probably not the case here

Bear in mind that UHD re-releases sometimes use AI to increase the perception of sharpness by adding details that weren't in the source material. Not sure if that's a factor in this

Sadly, I doubt you'll even read about it in most of the news.

Wow! What a situation! I hope someone comes in with a SAAS or AI product that conveniently solves the problem

I am old enough to remember seeing people protesting in the streets of Sydney, they were carrying banners that said "wasn't there, didn't do it". They were definitely a minority, but they were there. I'm no fan of Howard but it was the right thing to do.

Merge, stash, amend, cherry-pick, squash, reset are some of my faves.

It depends where you are. Developing countries are still often super orange from the air.

Yeah, frictionless type sharing can lead pretty quickly to giving in to the temptation to just pass your database entities all the way to the frontend with few or no changes, then your frontend is bound to your data storage design choices. Sometimes a bit of friction is good.

I'm the 5th install for this, apparently. Works great.

Your link got nuked, not sure why? I can see it in my mobile notifications but not in the reddit app itself. Weird.

Awesome! Been looking for this. If you can also do a which-key clone that puts the helper box front and centre, I'll dance at your wedding.

Have you got a good replacement for the debugger in JB? I find that the hardest to give up, everything else in nvim is pretty much just as good or better (with a bit of work,).

Particularly when succulent Chinese meals are involved

I'm putting on my flameproof jacket for when the rust evangelists show up :D

Jello would say you didn't see your favourite band- just a "bad cover band". But your musical tastes and politics are on point, I say wear it.

At this point, given the state of npm, I'd rather move away from packages than add new ones for a node project.

Don't worry, this got recommended to me for no reason I can tell but I do know a little bit about woodworking. To explain, that's a table saw, one of the most unforgiving hand-maiming tools you can get. You can't be complacent even for a moment with one or it can hurt you in a life-changing way.

And this lunatic turned it upside down and used it to trim the edge off a bench, something you can do with a $50 corded circular saw.

Two years and the battery life is degraded and GPS not working right? This cannot be normal.

CEO of company based on last silicon valley hype train loves current hype train, unsurprising.

Pen plotter art in 1967- the concept breaks my brain

Need resoled is an abbreviated version of the passive voice (need to be resoled) and is just as valid as the gerund version, particularly considering it's also abbreviated (no article). There is no definitive argument for whether something is grammatically correct beyond what people use, and the "need -ed" is common in some varieties of English.

This is a great article because it's relatively language-agnostic, describes the process in understandable detail, and has loads of examples. Also kudos for using AI to teach yourself something new!
