We have a non-truncatable currency system. An ideal coin system will have the following characteristics - that it is "countable" for any number, and that eliminating the smallest coin will always leave the remaining coin system countable. "Countable" means that that cashier's algorithm of pulling the largest coin less than the amount needed and then repeating with the next largest coin will produce the optimum number of coins. For example, with our current system, if you need to make 42 cents, you do a quarter (leaving 17 cents), then a dime, (leaving 7 cents), then a nickel and then two pennies. Our current system is only truncatable for the penny. If you only consider coin amounts which are multiples of 5 (since other ones become impossible after getting rid of the penny), our system minus the penny is clearly countable.
The problem is, consider getting rid of the nickel. Now try to make 30 cents. You pull a quarter, leaving 5 cents, oh shit you made a mistake. Back up, you should have done three dimes.
FY 2026 H-1B Cap Process Update We received enough electronic registrations during the initial registration period to reach the fiscal year 2026 H-1B numerical allocations (H-1B cap), including the advanced degree exemption, also known as the masterâ(TM)s cap. We selected 118,660 unique beneficiaries, resulting in 120,141 selected registrations in the initial selection for the FY 2026 H-1B cap.
This is disappointing failure in otherwise excellent track record of Trump administration of reducing out of control immigration.
Nope. That's why I changed all my players to BlueOS.
I replaced all my SONOS connects with BlueSound node Nano devices. A pricey replacement, but worth it.
As a bonus I was now able to turn off SMB1 on my home Samba server !
> Every large NAS vendor (Synology, QNAP, etc) has their own SMB server they wrote themserlves
That's untrue. Both Synology and QNAP use Samba. QNAP contributes code and bugfixes back to samba.org (Hi Jones !).
I was sitting in a diversity training class at Ford in the late 1990’s when the presenters aired this same statement. Our manager, who was a Brit on loan from Jaguar, offered the following statement:
“So you’re saying that if I was looking for the best and most popular four door family sedan, I should look at a picture of the design teams from the Big Three, and the one that was most diverse would be the number one car?”
He was told that was correct.
He then said that it was a bit of a trick question, since the best selling sedan in America was the Toyota Camry, and the design team for that car was the least diverse group you could possibly imagine, consisting of Japanese males between 30 and 60.
After a long silence, the presenters finished their PowerPoint and left.
Why would you need to build that many reusable rockets? There's no pot of gold on Mars.
There *is* a heck of a lot
I dunno about you, but the idea of shipping off in a space ship for a year or two, to mine my fortune in space minerals, sounds kinda
In the USA there's usually frozen slushee coffee but not fresh coffee at the in house eatery.
The upstream Linux kernel doesn't differentiate between security bugs and "normal" bug fixes. So the new kernel.org CNA just assigns CVE's to all fixes. They don't score them.
Look at the numbers from the whitepaper:
"In March 2024 there were 270 new CVEs created for the stable Linux kernel. So far in April 2024 there are 342 new CVEs:"
Yes ! That's exactly the point. Trying to curate and select patches for a "frozen" kernel fails due to the firehose of fixes going in upstream.
And in the kernel many of these could be security bugs. No one is doing evaluation on that, there are simply too many fixes in such a complex code base to check.
