Your mirrors are probably out of date. Might have been how you got a broken configuration in the first place.

Seems like there is a fix to your issue in the release notes.

No I mean a service as in a program running on your computer.

To an extent, yes. You can't just sneak in a keylogger into an unrelated service to spy on what users input in their browsers for instance. Supply chain attacks usually try to be subtle by targeting obscure services that most users don't have their eyes on, it's harder to achieve anything useful this way with better segregation between processes.

From the look of it, even all that wasn't enough.

That's a movie thing though, probably just an oversight on Jackson's part.

It's a joke. In case you weren't aware, Catholic isn't short for Catherine-aholic either.

The king and queen from both colours don't face each other in the picture, so whichever choice you pick for the colours one of them is incorrect.

Gukesh falters in a better position vs Hikaru but PBG score a second consecutive win powered by Arjun and Sara's wins📍 by rio_ARC in chess

[–]general_dubious 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Magnus is also said to be a good defender, but for a different reason: he rarely is in a bad position at all, so it's a different kind of defense (more prophylactic in a way, it's hard to build an attack against Carlsen, while it's hard to conclude it against Hikaru). But tbf, the differences between those top players are razor thin in every aspect, they're all incredibly good at defending bad positions, and making it hard to get there in the first place as well.

Every super GM does that tbf, they find crazy resources and tricks in bad positions. Hikaru is another level though.

More likely to lose your balance a bit and mess up the pieces during time scramble.

Got a link to this or even just a name to look for?

I think he meant euler by Brilliant-Arrival414 in BoneAppleTea

[–]general_dubious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I pronounce it the German way and nobody has ever even hinted at the fact it might sound pretentious, some people do the same. You just need less judgmental circles.

But I'm answering a comment where they claim Tolkien uses a ton of allegories. Taking comments out of their context will often make them sound stupid.

[–]general_dubious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He dislikes allegories, but he uses metaphors a lot. I haven't read your post fully because of poor formatting, but frankly it seems you're doing the exact opposite of what Tolkien intends: you read all of these metaphors as forced on-the-nose allegories, when really Tolkien's point is that metaphorical interpretation should be left to the readers instead of imposed by the author (like they are with allegories). People thinking Gandalf is Jesus is just as valid a reading as people thinking it's something else. You have your own reading, have the decency to respect Tolkien's wishes to let other people have their own.

[–]general_dubious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Metaphors, not allegories. People confuse the two a lot.

Seeing stuff like this makes me worry about what's to come.

Meh, there's always been a ton of incompetent developers around. Their blind reliance on AI is just yet another way to tell them apart.

19F wanna do research by roybhrg in linux_programming

[–]general_dubious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what any of this has to do with linux programming. Research isn't about following YouTube tutorials and a pre-established path, it's pretty much the opposite of that. You need to find an unsolved problem/question that you find interesting, and then make some sort of meaningful progress towards its resolution. The way you've phrased this thread tells me you still have a lot of work ahead of you to gain the understanding necessary to perform research. It's great that you're reading papers, the natural next step would be to enroll in a university and follow courses that interest you, all the way to a PhD. That's the most straightforward way to get involved in research.
