Control Deez nuts

Thanks for posting this but I'm not sure I understand it.

What if it was a material part of the case? In the article linked, it wasn't even "gay panic" as much as self defence that started from an unaccepted gay advance that turned into a fight.

For example, what if two people went home from a bar preparing to hook up, then one discovered the other wasn't the biological gender/sex they expected. It gets heated and they fight. The gay or trans person receives the worst of it. Police get called.

Can you not include that as a part of the defense?

Is that what they are calling gay/trans panic?

This seems weird to me because in court you should be allowed to admit facts and evidence. If one of the parties was gay or trans, and that played a role in the event, it seems wrong to not allow it as it's very relevant.

I feel like I am missing some legal nuance.

My thoughts on it are: as a developer, if you flag the issue for your management, and they want to move forward, then you've done your part.

Maybe put an extra comment in the code for posterity's sake.

It's not ultimately your problem and what else are you going to do? Work unpaid nights and weekends to fix it for some guy who might run into a problem 8 years from now?

I mean it's NPR: an American public radio news outfit.

Why the fuck would they be concerned with the minimum wage in Tanzania?

Strike that, that's actually precisely something NPR would probably cover lol.

This reminds me of the south park sting episode where the cop is just blowing dudes (dressed up like a hooker) and yelling "busted!"

This guy's is just reading whatever smut he can find then yelling "busted"

Lmfao

Dude. It's pretty fucking easy to get a gun. You walk into a store, say "I'd like that one please", they take your license and another form of id (literally could be a piece of mail), you fill out a form that says you aren't a felon like Donald Trump, on drugs like Hunter b, a non-citizen, etc, run the most cursory of cursory background checks, and they hand you the gun.

It can take like 10 minutes.

Its harder and takes much longer to get your car registered than to buy a gun.

The barriers are super low. And if you lie on the form, it's typically not something people can check/vet and is only used after the fact so people can say "but he shouldn't have gotten one,! He lied on the form!!"

Fear drives people to the polls though. It's kinda sad but true. So there needs to be a mix.

I've started to do that. If I don't see 10-20% options, I've started doing no tip--even if I would have tipped more.

It irks me.

They'd done some data analysis and I guess if you show higher percentages people just click them. So I am bringing it back to reality with my 0%.

I don't know exactly how crowd strike works, but this sounded like a "virus signatures" update (IE not a software update per se). And thats what caused the issue.

I think "real time virus protection" is why people use it so they expect the signatures to get updated asap/with little to no human intervention.

This is a crowd strike epic fail...for how they let their software blue screen systems with a virus signature update.

And roll it out in a controlled fashion: 1% of machines, 10%, 25%...no issues? Do the rest.

How this didn't get caught by testing seems impossible to me.

The implementation/rollout strategy just seems bonkers. I feel bad for all of the field support guys who have had there next few weeks ruined, the sys admins who won't sleep for 3 days, and all of the innocent businesses that got roped into it.

A couple local shops are fucked this morning. Kinda shocked they'd be running crowd strike but also these aren't big businesses. They are probably using managed service providers who are now swamped and who know when they'll get back online.

One was a bakery. They couldn't sell all the bread they made this morning.

Yea, caused by gestational diabetes. It's probably why that baby died 11 hours later.

I read that the hormone swing from pregnancy to "back to normal" the month or so after is the fastest swing in hormones a human can experience.

It can absolutely fuck up your brain during that time + lack of sleep + stress. It's a recipe for this kind of thing.

Bro, a quarter of the Borer Patrol *are" Puerto Ricans.

I wonder how many people think they are "hilarious" when talking with TSA.

It depends on the software and situation of course, but if you are paying a contractor to develop/write a solution for you aka "government built" then the contractor that writes the code owns 0 of that code. It's as if it was written by Uncle Sam himself.

Now, if the government buys software (licenses), the companies will retain ownership of their code. So if Uncle Sam bought Service Now licenses, the US doesn't "own" service now. If service now extended capability to support the govt, the US still doesn't own the license or that code in most cases.

Sometimes the government will even pay for a company to extend its software and that company can then sell that feature elsewhere. The government doesn't get any benefit beyond the capability they paid for--ie they don't own that code. That can work to the governments benefit though, because it can be used as a price negotiation point. "we know you can sell this feature to 50 different agencies if you develop it for us, so we only want to pay 25% of what you priced it at".

But like it said, if it's a development contract and the contractors build an app for the government, all of the contracts I've ever seen, have Uncle Sam owning it all. The govt could open source it if they wanted and the contractor would have no say.

That's what we call GOTS products https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_off-the-shelf#:~:text=Government off-the-shelf (,for%20which%20it%20is%20created.

Vs COTS:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_off-the-shelf

With COTS, that's where you'd see the ownership (depending on the contract/license agreement of course) remain with the vendor.

They explicitly do not, at least with every US federal contract I've ever seen. The govt owns the code that is written full stop.

If it's working again all of the sudden I would lean towards f2b. I don't know what your "timeout" is, but if f2b got tripped it would explain why you couldn't get in yesterday but today it works (assuming your ban expires in 24hrs or so).

How does zellij do copy and paste? That's the only thing keeping me from diving into tmux (beyond using it as a persistent terminal).

Ngl, I struggle with how the votes are tallied and have to think about it for way longer than I should to understand it.

I'm embarrassed to admit that.

Apple wants the next generation. Kids love their watches. Parents don't want to spend $500+ on a kids watch.
