Why is this better than the scripting environment in other CAD systems? I’m particular, I looked a bit at https://openscad.org/ previously, though didn’t make much headway modeling the thing I wanted.

Why is a language-level approach better than just an API in an existing, popular language?

Anyone know what the stuff headed NW is? Pyroclastic flow on the ground? Different altitude / wind direction carrying ash?

To save a click:

in its Enterprise product that can be exploited to treat new users as administrators or for privilege escalation.

The issue is only exploitable when SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) provisioning is enabled and configured.

So self-hosted Grafana / locally managed users is unaffected.

Maybe it’s time to properly erase and eBay my box of old HDDs?

…nope, still only $30 shipped for a refurbished 1TB WD or Seagate drive.

I am annoyed by Christmas before Thanksgiving, but the change doesn’t seem that egregious, just avoiding the case where it could be a week later than usual:

in 1863, during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln established the last Thursday of November as the official date for Thanksgiving to be celebrated each year. Following this tradition, every president thereafter declared a general day of Thanksgiving to be observed on the last Thursday in November. However, in 1939, during the Great Depression, November had five Thursdays, and the last one fell on November 30, which left little time for the Christmas shopping season. To address this concern, in August 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to break from tradition and issued an executive order declaring that Thanksgiving would be celebrated on November 23 instead of November 30.

Also it didn’t work:

A 1941 Commerce Department survey found no significant expansion of retail sales due to the change.

There it was at 69 upvotes… but I did have to give it another.

There’s a full postmortem from AWS. One piece that stands out to me:

due to the large number of droplets, efforts to establish new droplet leases took long enough that the work could not be completed before they timed out. Additional work was queued to reattempt establishing the droplet lease. At this point, DWFM had entered a state of congestive collapse and was unable to make forward progress in recovering droplet leases.

That is, the load that resulted from the initial failure was not something the system was designed to handle, so it had cascading effects / required manual cleanup.

The installation is housed in what looks like a four-story prefabricated office building. Inside sits a massive stack of refractory bricks, which are heated to temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit) by an adjoining 20-megawatt solar array. That heat is tapped to generate steam that is injected into oil wells to increase production — a job previously done by a fossil-gas-fired boiler.

The project is something of a Faustian bargain. It will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 13,000 metric tons per year, said John O’Donnell, Rondo’s cofounder and chief innovation officer. But, of course, those reductions are in service of bringing more planet-warming fossil fuels to market.

Come on people, this is why you make cloud enabled devices that can still function offline. And why I will never buy a range with wifi (or at least never connect it if there’s no dumb model available).

So if your system is oscillating wildly, your P term is too large, right?

P = social media, 24h news cycle I = education D = regulation

Taken together, the study’s findings represent a crucial step forward in addressing many unresolved issues regarding Long COVID. The systemic increase in AMPARs provides a direct biological explanation for the cognitive symptoms, highlighting a target for potential treatments. For example, drugs that suppress AMPAR activity could be a viable approach to mitigate brain fog. Interestingly, the team’s analysis also demonstrated that imaging data can be used to distinguish patients from healthy controls with 100% sensitivity and 91% specificity.

Brings new meaning to the word “uniform.”

The articles self summary pretty much covers the content:

A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial. By targeting the USAG-1 gene, researchers believe that they can help people without a full set of teeth regrow teeth. The team says that humans have a third set of teeth available as buds, ready to grow as needed.

Sounds cool!

That’s horrible.

Also, why would anyone visit the US at this point?

According to local news reports, all three victims were detainees. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed no law enforcement officers were injured, and suggested he believed the motive was political:

While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical (sic.) motive behind this attack … One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’

Huh, don’t know how to interpret that.

Following Wednesday’s shooting, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pointed blame for the incident on rhetoric from the far-left: “For months, we’ve been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcement before someone was killed. These horrendous killings must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences. Comparing ICE Day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences.”

Or, you know, acting like the gestapo has consequences.

Crispng adds:

Court documents show Ruth was previously charged with stalking, trespassing, and prowling at night, but had no felony convictions.

Thanks. Sounds to me like a person who reasonable gun control laws would have prevented from gun ownership.

At least it enhances every day value for the customer!

Ugh.

Aljazeera has a scant few additional details:

Police said the officers were there to serve a warrant. At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. “The general heading of that investigation, I would say,

From the original article:

“This kind of violence is not OK. We need to do better as a society,” Shapiro said.

Seems like quite a juxtaposition there. I wonder what the “disturbance” was, and what de-escalation approaches were attempted.

Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say ‘wait and see what results get published,’ but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can’t imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they’re expected to deliver.
