I believe it's 1% for access to the "entire post-open ecosystem", rather than 1% per project which would be unreasonable. So you could use one or thousands of projects under the Post-open banner, but still pay 1%.
It will take years to develop the post-open ecosystem to be something worth spending that much on.

Also chromosome tests aren't a foolproof indication of sex anyway. People can have one set or another while still having the properties associated with the other sex, so it doesn't really work as a definitive measure. The question is reasonable until you examine it and it's motives.
The question subtly suggests that if she had a Y chromosome then she has some biological advantage and therefore doesn't deserve the medal she earned. Does she actually have an advantage from the Y chromosome? Are we going to ensure through DNA testing that all competitors are going to be exactly equal by genetics? If so, we're going to have 8 clones of Usain Bolt competing for the 100m sprint. Michael Phelps arguably had a biological advantage by having hyper flexible shoulders, are we disqualifying those biological advantages? Of course not, so what do they actually mean when asking those questions about the chromosome? They don't have meaningful answers to the questions I raise, they just want to add fuel to the fires of the culture war for their own political means.

Yes I should have said "employed full-time" probably. This also doesn't account for the self-employed who have to manage it themselves too rather than having their employer do it.

If you're British and employed your employer is legally required to provide a private pension I believe. You also get a state pension if you've been paying national insurance (most people will get this taken out of pay cheques before you ever see the money, same as income tax). Some employers offer "matching contributions" up to a certain amount. For example if you decide you want to send £100 per month into your private pension, your employer will also do the same, so your pension gets £200. These contributions are tax free so it's a tax-efficient way to save money when compared to privately investing where you'd have to invest from your income, which has already been taxed and then potentially have to pay capital gains tax on profits.

That works until all* games come with root level anti cheat. It was the same with micro transactions which people still defend despite being utter shit.
- Realistically this will never be 100% but it will be enough of the mass market AAA games like CoD etc to mean that if you functionally want to play a game made in the last X number of years you will need to accept this or stop playing games altogether. I think most people will continue to play games. Most people will continue to install root level anti cheat, knowingly or otherwise, and all of them will get fucked by an exploit of that software. They may never even know about it.

Helldivers 2 does the same thing. If this continues it will be extremely advisable to move any non-gaming use-cases to a different computer as you have no idea what the "anti-cheat" is doing with that level of authority over your computer.

I would be curious how this actually works in practice. What counts as "in progress"? Encounters? Plot points? Knowledge that a goblin has? If all of those things are "in progress" and you can only have so many things in the "in progress" column, I feel like you'd very quickly have to break that rule and then everything becomes "in progress".

Kind of surprised this is getting so much criticism. It's a thought experiment, not a call for a fundamental change to all PC UX. My only real argument against the idea is that it's framed as being "for efficiency". If you want efficiency above all else you would just go full command line.

I said in another comment but basically the left have a tougher message to sell than the right. The right says that the system works but it's the foreigners/benefit thieves/refugees stealing your money/house/jobs. That is inherently quite easy to understand without much thought or critical thinking. The left on the other hand have to tell you all about Thatcher, Reagan and neoliberalism before we even get to the point of solutions which are usually incredibly radical like changing the fundamental economic model we've all been operating under since the 80s. Inherent in that is a fear that the left's solutions will take assets and wealth away from people. While the right promises that your assets, wealth and property rights are sacred and that it's the "other" that will have their assets, wealth and rights taken away. Again, very easy-to-understand messaging for the right versus the left.

I totally agree that neoliberal economics are essentially what we understand to be economics now. To be clear, I'm not blaming the left, I think it's a case of they have a more difficult message to convey. To explain the problems that neoliberal economics has and to propose a solution to them is a really hard task compared with "it's the foreigners at fault". It's a much clearer, more concise and seemingly solvable problem compared with "we need to overhaul the global economy".

Far right parties gaining significant popularity especially in France and Germany. It's not great for the neo-liberal centre who created and perpetuated the economic downturn we're all in and indicates a failure of the left to present a coherent alternative. There's a lot to unpack about it. France has already dissolved their parliament and triggered an election because of these results.

Literally just bought what I believe to be last generation's X13 on ebay for half the price of the new one. It's been great so far, especially with the power efficiency of Ryzen CPUs. My one complaint is the soldered RAM, which judging by the new lineup is getting phased out, thankfully.

I had similar queries around "biological sex" vs gender a while ago and my understanding now is that biological sex is surprisingly hard to define. You can't go by genitalia because sometimes a person creates the "wrong" ones. You can't go by chromosomes because again, sometimes they're different. And you can't go by other physical traits (Adams apple for example) because again sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not, completely unrelated to sex. You can sort of go by hormones but not really (just look at professional sport) so it's all a bit of a mess. It's way easier for me to just accept there's a spectrum and move on, because to me it's way harder to actually define where the line is than to just dismiss the line entirely.

Without the context of your understanding of the debate as you've outlined here we can only guess what you meant by "the debate" in your previous comment so thanks for taking the time to describe it. I absolutely agree that there needs be great care around the legitimacy of when someone declaring their gender should be taken seriously or not in some limited and extreme circumstances (prisons spring to mind). I think your characterisation of the terf argument if you speak to normal people is about accurate from my limited experience. The media and some outspoken terfs like JK are on the more extreme side of that where they say that it is already "too easy" to legitimately change their gender. Which is where I fundamentally disagree with them since I know the hoops some of my friends have had to jump through to even get the smallest amount of help from health providers.
(I'm using "legitimate" above as a sort of catch all for legal or what the person genuinely feels. I don't think legal and legitimate are the same thing in this context, hence the distinction.)

In the nicest possible way, what do you mean by "both sides" in this context? One side says that trans people either don't or shouldn't exist and the other side says they should exist. I know that may sound extreme or combative but that's fundamentally "the debate" so I genuinely want to understand how you reached this "both sides have merit" stance that some people close to me also take but I've never understood.

I'm no linguist but it's all basically unwritten rules and conventions and the examples you gave are wrong in the sense that they break other rules. For example noone asks "read you manga", they say "Do you read manga?" In which case "I don't" is fine, but "I readn't" isn't. In short it can't be done with every verb, and as a native speaker I'm not aware of an explicit rule that governs which verbs can and can't have contractions.

You do you. People generally discourage rebase because it rewrites history but that's what you're doing anyway. You can achieve the same result with revase --interactive and following the instructions to squash all your in progress commits into a single commit. That way you don't have to figure out how many commits between your in progress and dev(for your reset command) as the rebase will handle it for you.

Again, this existed before AI. Typo squatting, supply chain attacks, automated package uploads, CI pipeline infection, they're all known attack vectors. That's not to say this isn't a concern, just that it's a known risk and the addition of "AI" doesn't, to my eyes, increase that risk. If your SSH keys don't require a password, you have taken the decision to make those keys less secure but more convenient to use. That's pretty much always the tradeoff in security.

The risk here is slightly overblown or misrepresented. Just because a fork exists doesn't mean that anyone has even read it, let alone run it on their system. For this to be a real threat they would have to publish packages with identical or similar names (ie typo-squatting) to public package repositories which this article didn't have any information on but which is a known problem long before AI. The level of obfuscation and number of repos affected is impressive but ultimately unlikely to have widespread impact to anyone besides GitHub.

My take (having neither but building a NAS in the background of other jobs) is that if you don't need the rack, don't buy the rack. If you already have a NAS and you really want to play with the power that a rack would give you, go for the rack. If you don't need it don't buy it, simple as.
Hi all, my trusty (but honestly always pretty terrible) Amazon basics tripod finally died, does anyone have a tripod they'd recommend or brands they'd avoid? Typical usage for me would be travelling/hiking and landscape photography so ideally small and light without breaking the bank (which I know is pretty tough). Budget is variable but call it £100-£200 for now.
It's being rolled out in stages so you, like me, may not have it yet.
Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!
What do you have, what do you recommend, and why? Asking as I've got a lot of spare components lying around that I'm planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn't work out I'll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.
EDIT: Issue now resolved. Turns out that having an A record point to a DNS server probably wasn't the best idea. My best theory here is that A records pointing to DNS servers means "Find the authority on this domain at this other DNS server", which could never resolve. By pointing it to my VPS, the DNS could resolve to a definitive IP, and the certs were successfully generated. Hi all, hope someone can help as I'm just confused now! Long story short I want to host local services (like ntfy) using trusted certificates. I hoped to do this with Caddy and a wildcard domain (I don't want to expose the DNS records of the services I'm running if not necessary). In my DNS I have an A record for *.local.example.com pointing at a semi-random IP. I have other services on a VPS on other subdomains so I can't just use a wildcard. This looks like: ``` blog A <VPS IP> *.local A 1.1.1.1 ``` On the server in my home network (which I do not want to expose) I have dnsmasq running that is handling local DNS records for services on the LAN but carefully not the remote services on the same domain. Using dig I can see that the local and remote DNS are working as expected. Seeing the error on DNS-01 challenged "could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com" I have also added an exception in my local DNS for _acme-challenge.local to point to cloudflare's DNS at 1.1.1.1. The dig command confirms this works as expected after restarting dnsmasq. With the following Caddyfile: ``` *.local.example.com { tls { dns <dns provider plugin> <API token> } @ntfy host ntfy.local.example.com handle @ntfy { reverse_proxy ntfy } } ``` Every DNS-01 challenge fails with "...solving challenges: presenting for challenge: could not determine zone for domain \"_acme-challenge.local.example.com\"...". I think this should be possible, but I'm not clear what I'm missing so any help greatly appreciated. I'm just dipping my toes into self-hosting and actually getting practical use out of my Raspberry Pi that's been collecting dust for years.
Not affiliated I just find this useful and it exposed me to a few of the new features of Ruby 3.2 like not having to specify the value in kwargs if the variable is defined in scope, eg: `foo = 'bar'; call(foo:)` is equivalent to `foo = 'bar'; call(foo: foo)`
