Needs (2020) I guess?

This doesn't say anything about which providers are the majority in Europe, which is what OP's study is about. Your findings (non-US companies are "more likely") and OPs findings (US companies are the majority) are both compatible.

StreetComplete doesn't have satellite overlays, but both Vespucci and EveryDoor support viewing satellite overlay tiles!

I hope you reconsider your use of a throwaway account for this sort of comment—This sort of feedback and experience is very valuable and if the culture of the company you're in or the companies your working with discourage this sort of feedback, it's only going to create chilling effect that prevents more people from coming forward

Your comment makes sense but I'm pretty sure yreg is saying the opposite of that—that their task is harder than the benchmark currently is.

(see their follow-up reply: "The cheapest-per-benchmark-task model would be useless to me if it cannot do the task I need.")

In either case, you need the right benchmark for the right task

Based on https://web.archive.org/web/20260618001349/https://washingto... and https://web.archive.org/web/20260621034150/https://washingto..., it seems like they were added at some point between the 18th and the 21st. I definitely think it helps navigating the site, and it's a nice compromise between Craigslist's text-first style and a nod towards usability.

You're making inigyou & OP's point for them. Redis is a great technology, but its design (supporting both persistence and non-persistence modes) makes it much easier to misuse and much more likely to be misused compared to Postgres and Memcached. That's a design issue, not just an internal documentation issue.

Okay, but how does that square with the person I'm replying to's claim that VW should "put security into the app"? You missed the point of my reply.

I don't disagree with this, but you're completely contradicting the user I'm replying to. I'm pointing out that the user who says "you should put security into the app" is completely misguided or at the very least perfectly explaining why VW is doing this.

How else would you build "security" into the app (in the sense of not allowing third-party modifications of it that would open them up to liability), except relying on hardware attestation that the app has not been modified? That attestation necessarily requires the platform provider to be involved.

Is this legal to use in 2 party consent states? Might vary from state to state, which is probably why both zoom and Meet require users to click through consent screens when meetings are bring transcribed. Might be useful to have that on the FAQ page

No, the CSS spec is specifically designed to be forwards compatible because of exactly this issue. Any invalid CSS rule should only cause that specific line to be ignored, not the whole stylesheet. And certainly even if your CSS parser chokes in some specific case, it shouldn't cause your ereader to fail to load the entire book!

it works because Nex N2 is also a derivative of the original base Qwen model. If it was two completely unrelated models it wouldn't work.

Right, which is exactly what elashri is objecting to. elashri said "Why do LLMs have restrictions on nuclear science", and IncandescentGas was explaining why they think those guardrails are a good idea. You're just agreeing with them.

This is purely a function of what people expect to be looked at.... if your team started looking at each individual commit step by step, then you'd probably find that people started paying more attention to how their commit hygiene looks.

No, in the context of the thread it sounds like they're illustrating myrmidon's point about how the selective enforcement of crimes that are easy to catch on camera means that the police have less time (and less inclination, training, norms) for addressing more serious crimes, like interpersonal violence.

More broadly, they're not saying that we should make the cameras better to catch more crime, they're saying that when you make cameras the main way you catch crime, you shift the social definition of what crime is to "what cameras can catch".

There is a version of that. It is called RedHat Enterprise Linux. : )

I'm very glad to hear that—the anonymity of the original Freenet has led to it being a very unsavory place that was more well known for CSAM then anything positive or useful. As an outsider, it sounds like this new direction is the right choice for Freenet to try and attract new users and fulfill the team's original goals.

I'm not seeing anything on the official marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=whatwedo...

I wonder if it was open-vsx specific?

No, there's no joke, you might have just misread the article (the 3,800 number is the number of internal GitHub repos the employee had downloaded on their personal computer / had access to on their own GitHub account)
