I had to look around for any mention of it but i did finally find this.

Wearing a trench coat and backpack, she entered the converted sports arena between church services and opened fire in a hallway with an AR-platform rifle, Hassig said. One federal law enforcement source told CNN she fired around 30 bullets. (emphasis mine)

Two off-duty officers were at the church: a 28-year-old Houston Police Department officer and a 38-year-old agent with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, both with less than five years of service. The two officers engaged the shooter and she was fatally hit, the police chief said.

GitLab used to be awesome when it was the place to go after MS bought out GitHub. They had premium access for all public projects under a FOSS license and top-tier CI. Then as time went on, they began pulling support for various functions in a very Microsoftian EEE sort of way. First requiring credit cards fir new users to access the CI, then taking away the CI almost entirely except for a practically useless monthly allotment, then taking away the premium access for public FOSS licensed projects. If I were migrating today I would not have chosen GitLab, but it is where I settled after leaving GitHub and my projects have grown to depend on GitLab CI even if I’m now forced to run my own runners due to the extreme nerfs they’ve done to the hosted CI. I mirrored OpenRGB to Codeberg, but since the CI pipelines depend on GitLab I don’t see Codeberg becoming the main hub anytime soon unless they can execute GL CI configs. Sad to see how far GitLab has fallen though, it is unrecognizable from what it used to be as far as support for FOSS prohects goes, especially given how GitLab itself started as a FOSS project.

I tried using AI tools to do some cleanup and refactoring of some legacy embedded C code and was curious if it could do any optimization or knew any clever algorithms.

It’s pretty good at figuring out the function of the code and adding comments, it did some decent refactoring of some sections to make them more readable.

It has no clue about how to work in a resource constrained environment or about the main concepts that separate embedded from everything else. Namely that it has to be able to run “forever”, operate in realtime on a constant flow of sensor data, and that nobody else is taking care of your memory management.

It even explained to me that we could do input filtering by using big arrays to do simple averaging on a device with only 1kB RAM, or use a long long for a never-reset accumulator without worrying about what will happen because “it will be years before it overflows”.

AI buddy, some of these units have run for decades without a power cycle. If lazy coders start dumping AI output into embedded systems the whole world is going to get a lot more glitchy.

“Donald Trump is a scab.”

Trump would be a scab, but he’s never worked a day in his life.

They’re already the gender they are. So your concerns about erasing their identity are warranted.

I think you might be conflating sex with gender here, though. Gender isn’t based on anything objective, it’s a purely social phenomenon. And while most of us identify as the gender typical for our sex, some do not; that’s what it means to be trans.

Some trans people want to alter their primary or secondary sexual characteristics to better align their presentation with their gender. Those people might take you up on your Thanos snap sex swap deal if you offered it on an individual level. But not every trans person wants to change their body, or not so drastically, or not all at once.

And as others have said, magically altering someone else’s body without consent is fully evil.

Ask him if that means Biden can assassinate Trump. Then remind him of the concept of estoppel. Then Biden comes to their first presidential debate and places a .44 Magnum handgun on the podium, to see if Trump runs away like the little bitch he is.

The first one is just split tunneling which is a design feature for most organizations using VPN, so any company paying for this for their employees, and many using stuff like OpenVPN explicitly want that feature for good reasons.

The second requires both intercepting DNS (which I think is getting harder all the time with DNSSEC etc) and you not using a server certificate to authenticate the actual VPN server (unless I really misunderstand what’s happening here). Most public VPN servers don’t seem to be configured to work as you say (not send traffic for their server / site over the tunnel) - at least OpenVPN with common configurations will send traffic over the tunnel as far as I’ve been able to determine. Some details to reproduce this would be helpful. The paper isn’t currently available, but I’m still wondering how they’re adding a static route to the client unless they can in fact terminate the VPN connection and pass back config rules different from the client config file.
