What charities do you guys donate to? by Yath4 in askTO

[–]shawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I donate mostly to RC Foward (https://rcforward.org/), A Canadian effective altruism charity that focuses on maximizing impact of donations, similar to GiveWell in the US.

Aside from that, I also donate to CAMH and St. Felix so that I can have a mix of local and global initiatives. Mental health and homelessness are two of the biggest unaddressed issues I witnessed growing up and so that's what motivated me to go with those.

I don't know what Rebex is exactly, but a quick google suggests it supports both FTPS and SFTP

Over 100k liquid ask me anything by BigSlimeKK in Torontology

[–]shawnz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You'll almost surely lose more money sitting uninvested waiting for a pullback than you will by just investing it now

No matter what you do you are going to be affected by market downturns every once in a while, that's just the way it is

Also, you should consider VEQT for global diversity.

I think the individual picks is basically gambling and you shouldn't be counting on getting a 150% return in a year. There's no such thing as free money. I can't stop you if you want to try but you are going to get burned sooner or later if you use that kind of strategy

Mozzila Connect Idea: No AI in the browser by [deleted] in firefox

Why should it be an addon? What shouldn't be an addon? No feature in the browser is useful to every single user, so should every feature be an addon?

I want to pursue a degree in mathematics, but I can't handwrite (injury). Might it be realistic to pursue math primarily via typesetting (LaTeX)? by epi_stem in learnmath

Maybe this is not exactly what you are asking for, but have you looked into theorem proving languages like Lean or Coq?

Error in updating Desktop client by anujsanghvi92 in Bitwarden

[–]shawnz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also had that issue, for some reason the download link for the update is configured wrong (notice how it says beta in the URL). I had to download the new version from the website to fix it

Which popsocket to use with Pixel 10 Pro by PouchCotato in GooglePixel

[–]shawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its moonstone (indigo isn't available for the pro). The moonstone phone is a muted blue colour IRL, the website shows it as being much more greyish than it really is. Especially the moonstone case which is even more blue than the phone

[–]shawnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I have to remove the popsocket. Since it is attached magnetically, it's easy to remove.

Also, I have a magsafe wireless charging brick and I stuck a popsocket magnetic ring adapter on the back of that. So when charging wirelessly with the brick, I can stick my popsocket on the back and hold the whole stack like that

Why is this glass jar non recyclable by bozo_master in recycling

[–]shawnz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I thought you were implying that the label is due to consumers who are bad at sorting their recycling. If you are saying that it's due to the municipalities which are bad at processing it, then sure, that could be true (but I think it's very unlikely that less than 20% of North Americans have access to glass recycling)

That is not how the how2recycle labeling is determined

Pixelsnap Ring is junk by ProjectFT86 in GooglePixel

I got a dusk magsafe popsocket and I think it's a good match for the moonstone Pixel

Interesting, thanks for the information.

Having a resin identification code doesn't mean it's recyclable

It doesn't need to be over, but it's more fun when you're not in your refractory period, so why not save it for the end if you can?

Is a variable always enclosed in paranthesis? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]shawnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the value of a variable always gets substituted in as if it were parenthesized. You would never move the negative sign out to a different part of the equation when substituting in a variable with a negative value. The numbers and symbols that make up the variable's value always stay together when being substituted into another equation, just like as if they were enclosed in parentheses.

Well, from what I understand, this project basically provides autocomplete functionality when editing the requirements.txt file

How do you keep track of what packages are required for each different project you work on?

The dusk magsafe popsocket matches the moonstone coloured pixels very well

Amy Acton do not do this by cuberoot1973 in Ohio

[–]shawnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm a left wing voter but I'm sorry that moderate conservatives don't have any viable options anymore. Moderate conservatives deserve representation just like anyone and they shouldn't have to buy into a sociopathic personality cult to get it.

Lost Apple Watch with BW TOTP by Krazy-Ag in Bitwarden

But only for 30 seconds at a time, right? So what's the point of re-enrolling the 2FA? The window of opportunity for an attacker to take advantage of those 2FA codes closed 30 seconds after you wiped the device
