Oooh do you know your flour gram amount when you scoop and sweep? I'm terrible at flour cup consistency, to the point I have to ask my SO to scoop if the recipe isn't in grams. They do more dessert baking and seem to have the technique down.

    I think his point is more that you might have multiple components that need database access in your app, so those component have a connection (or reuse a central access) and for simplicity reasons, you made 1 database for the whole app, rather than one per component. Once that happens there's a new path that could be used to pass information between the components in a way that isn't the function interface. Much like a global variable can be used that way. And there's a risk you start to use the database like a global variable store.

    I don't use databases much, so I don't have a strong opinion, but it's an interesting thought.

    I gave up after a few section that just read like a really long attempted justification for "business efficiency" that never actually addresses why the REFRIGERATORS AT A STORE MANNED 24/7 need to be able to be remote controlled and on the network 24/7.

    It just lays out a series of shortsighted cost cutting decision and says "well they were all logical steps, so it's reasonable that we ended up here, and actually any other outcome is basically impossible" when that's exactly what we're saying. Someone should have pushed back (and probably did) but cost cutting and "just make it easy" probably overrode them.

    The S stands for security in both IoT and OT it seems

    I'm not saying the guy was OK to do that cause he might have alzheimers. Shouldn't have been on the road. I'm just also saying wake county cops fall under ACAB, don't take their word for stuff just cause you want to see the guy punished. Raleigh has a pretty weak track record of prosecuting pedestrian/bike hits by cars, even if they threw the book at this one guy (as evidenced by them adding the "crossing the double yellow" charge and $1m bond)

    Dwi (driving while impaired) is the offense for driving while drunk/high/ on a substance of some sort in NC. But who knows if the guy was breathalyzed or whether the cop decided based on physical symptoms he was exhibiting, and the copt doesnt know what alzheimers symptoms look like.

    Well unluckily we don't have any special exceptions for people with disabilities, so this means I'm forced to double down and say wheelchair users also belong on the road, IF their wheelchair is electrified.

    My argument is still that more space should be taken from driving and parking lanes rather than turning pedestrian areas into the dumping ground for anything that's not a car, overcrowding it.

    I'm not sure I see your point, unless you're assuming college campuses and downtown cores aren't still heavily car based in the US? I assure you most of them have a road or parking lane to spare near the restaurants that the bots want to pick up from

    The road! It's got 4 wheels and motors. Or we could think about how we've designed urban spaces that surrender all space to cars forcing everyone not in a car can get fucked, so maybe take one car lane away and make a new bike/ delivery bot lane.

    Remember, if you got fired, you might have fucked up or failed (might, still not guaranteed). If you got laid off, then your boss' boss or C Suite fucked up. They made bad decisions and the business revenue didn't show up as they predicted, and you're just paying the price instead of them. So try not to sweat it, and recognize that unlike the 70s, a lot of companies now plan to grow aggressively and layoff at the first sign of danger.

    Hopefully you got a severance large enough to give you a bit of breathing room while you look for another job without too much stress

    So videolan is pulling in either 50 million a year globally or 7 million in just france? That's some significant numbers. And they're also pushing at least 20 million GB of data in France? That must mean the law counts me using vlc to connect to e.g. a publicly available rtsp stream or something as vlc generating that content? $55/Tb is a pretty massive tax. This article has left me more confused than I thought possible

    I wonder if it's the standard "if someone has to actually think about the diet, they tend to have a more balanced calorie consumption" thing, where any restrictive diet requires additinal thought. Or were the vegan fed cats being raised by vegan owners? Cause then it could just be that they care more about their pets health since animal wellbeing is part of veganism.

    I have doubts that the meatlessness of the food is the major driving factor (statistically insignificant) weight difference

    I'm not advocating for violence, but OP sure is, look at their post history. I want to know what violence they intend to enact change through.

    You're asking if it's better to do nothing (give up on incremental liberalization, aka don't vote dem, and also don't burn down a warehouse right now) and instead do what, sit online and plan, maybe in 5 years burn down a warehouse together? I been on lemmy for like 3 years now with this constant chatter. What have yall done after three years of planning and gathering together? Give me examples. I'm open to it.

    But it feeeeels like a backup, and isn't that what really matters? In my setup I have 3 drives (2x 8Tb, 1x 14 Tb) and I finally have the opportunity to do some consolidation and not just have 3 single drives plugged into a server. Zfs, raid , a dedicated backup drive, but I'm still figuring out what the layout should be.

    Great, dont wait, pu in a vote to minimize harm, then get out there and burn down your local amazon warehouse. I know you have one. Or is all you do complain online in the most leftist friendly space you can find. Get yourself banned from Facebook for livestreaming a a riot. But if we haven't seen you commit a felony before Nov, I think we all know what you actually are.
