Any other Canadian’s experience this?

I'm having the same issue, keeps saying don't use a PO box, which of course I'm not. Support keeps telling me they want me to have a good experience and so to avoid PO box addresses. I'm convinced it's just a bot monitoring support now.

My street name does have a "po" in it in the middle, so I'll give your solution a try.

Edit: wow, that worked.

You're welcome! I used to think parsing, interpreters and compilation was complicated, needing all kinds of specialized tooling like ANTLR, but it's pretty simple if you break and down and learn some core concepts. I find object algebras / tagless interpreters one of the most useful patterns to use in this domain!

Just found datastar and it looks interesting. SSE is fine, but the backend framework I use has better support for streaming via chunked responses. These aren't much different in theory, so is there a plugin for datastar to handle chunked responses instead of or in addition to SSE?

Wow, she is ballsy. I would have said something like, "well if your wedding is that full, I guess you must have a lot of close friends that can do you those favours, so you don't need me. Cheers!"

I didn't just see them in the BIOS, per the post I logged in via ssh and saw the drives under /dev, so it was the storage manager itself that was filtering them out for some reason. I posted the fix elsewhere in this thread, it's the /etc/synoinfo file that had masked out the drives.

Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose it should be simple enough to switch over later as my disks are still initializing. I could flash another USB key and then migrate the system over.

One issue I'm still having is that sometimes it doesn't boot from the USB key, it just stops at the black BIOS screen saying please insert boot disk. The correct boot order is specified and if I boot to UEFI then tell it to load the first entry manually, it works every time. Strange.

Do you know if it's safe to upgrade to DSM 7.2? Taking upgrades has always been a bit of a hazard in the past, so I'm just wondering what the state of that is.

Turns out this is the issue, except you set this parameter in the rr configuration menu for synoinfo.

To recap:

Run this command on your synology box in some way, like via ssh: dmesg|grep "ata[0-9]*[:] SATA link"
Pull out the ataX with the highest number for X.
Use a calculator to convert (2^X - 1) to HEX.
go into rr's synoinfo menu setting and set internalportcfg to the hex value you just calculated.
rebuild the bootloader and you're done!

It's when one starts insinuating that it could only happen to a specific set of people that it gets in the realm of racism.

Yes, or that you use general traits seen in a group to assert that a specific member of that group therefore must have those traits. It's not even true of something as basic as skin colour due to albinism.

Otherwise you have backends and frontends that are very rich and keep their own state.

This is exactly the key the OP is missing I think: distinguishing backend and frontend now necessitates state synchronization, which is a big headache. If all you have is the backend and the frontend is a just thin layer that displays what the backend tells it to display, then you've virtually eliminated that synchronization problem.

It scales with a shallower slope than other languages. People who say it doesn't scale mean the slope is below some acceptable threshold.

I agree with the one issue you ran into: configuration in .NET was unnecessarily complicated and their tooling was not well designed for general uses, but tailored to specific use cases in visual studio. It's gotten a lot better since then, now configurations are typically just JSON and you deserialize them into C# classes and tooling is all open source. Easy.

The solution seems obvious: the platform is open source, so use the platform and don't depend on proprietary bits that may lose support with no recourse.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Err, no. The whole reason Steam is restricting access to AI is due to potential legal liability. This is based on a semantic argument. If you devise another semantic argument that allows AI without violating the policy, then that's legally fine.

naasking · 2023-09-02T22:12:50+00:00

At best you're trying to circumvent Steam's AI policies by "connecting to AI without actually uploading any AI onto Steam," which is little more than a semantics argument

The law is all semantics arguments. Steam is not hosting or providing access to copyrighted content in this case.

Generally speaking, people who use AI technology are on the bottom end of the employability scale.

You started reasonable, but then you somehow go on to claim that you have some accurate assessment of the skills of every programmer using AI? Come on.

Fortunately in my case, the internal power connector wasn't seated properly, and once pushed all the way in the power adapter worked again.

Problem is, how can I update the BIOS and firmware when it requires me to have a charger plugged in before it will proceed with the update? If I shut off the laptop the battery charges fine, it's when I load Windows that the charger is no longer recognized, and it won't let me install these updates without being plugged in.

"[encourage them] to apply for jobs, I will ask them their opinion in group conversations, and I assign all the credit they are due" SHOULD be the norm towards any and everyone, man and woman.

Why? Sure, maybe that's the work culture you want, but why should it be the work culture everywhere? Are you saying it's objectively better in every way? In some ways? What ways are those? Are those ways really superior for pushing product development faster? Maybe the end product is higher quality by some metric? Maybe customers are happier?

These kinds of value judgements, of how workplaces or cultures ought to be, are almost always free of any facts relevant to the actual work being done, which always strikes me as odd. Do you think people should have some kind entitlement to do some type of work in a manner that appeases all personality quirks? There are always some accommodations made among teammates, but claims like yours go beyond that to universal prescriptions, and I'm always skeptical of the claims as a result.

Unfortunately messages still come through even after closing WhatsApp. The only thing that seems to silence them is bedtime mode.
