I see most kids under 10 wearing a bicycle helmet. Of course, kids under 10 shouldn’t be riding these, as they’re designed to carry heavier loads.

Anyone 16 or older? It grabs my attention if they ARE wearing a helmet.

This isn’t leaving tech… it’s leaving corporate employment.

Still great options, but I was expecting something more like: pivot to a different role in your existing company and then find another non-corporate use for those skills, or get your apprenticeship in the trades, or become a bus driver.

This goes nicely with abortion bans, criminalization of life choices that don’t produce babies, and the disenfranchisement of women.

There are tools for converting Hyper-V drives to vmdks that everything can read. Then just fire up new kvm instances and load the disk images.

If nothing else pans out in Vancouver, the YWCA isn’t bad.

Stupid? They’re achieving exactly what they set out to achieve. The fact that they’re doing it while saying illogical things doesn’t change that.

Because people got greedy and felt they could depend on everyone else to keep the safeguards in place, while eroding them for their own unjust gain.

What differentiates a dating site from something like Lemmy? The secret matching algorithm?

If asked in a vacuum, there’d be no audible answer.

Unless non-verbal communication was used and the participants could hold their breath long enough.

If AI literacy requires an individual to be able to clearly explain how AI technologies work… then even data scientists are AI illiterate.

Two books I found really useful at the time:

The Little LISPer by Daniel P Friedman

Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier

Both are rather niche, but helped me understand general computing and design concepts.

Indeed. While most of the time a fin sighting would be harmless, that area is within territory covered by great white sharks. In 2021 a woman swimming at Margaree Island was bitten by a great white that likely mistook her for a seal.

As waters warm, mako and great white sharks have been spending more time close to shore over the past decade.

Just like with any animal at the top of the food chain, it’s better to use caution than to tempt statistics.
