Yes. A 12 year old is better at handling Alt-Right misinformation than the main steam media journalists.

The Bundes Committee on Humor is not set to meet for another biennium cycle. Until then, no proposals for next joke shall be heard.

At one point my 1GB disk was the "big one" in the dorm. It was the windows share of some random media. I had room for the whole 40MB videos "Jesus vs Frosty" (The Spirit of Christmas) and "Jesus vs Santa Claus". It was before South Park became an actual show, but people watched those 100's of times off my hard drive.

When I bought a 3GB from Fry's it was an open question how we'd fill it. Of course, that was just as the mp3 codec started to gain traction... Problem solved.

All $5 mil? Yup.

He's a grifting liar and traitor to the Republic. The $5mil is just the start. The Smartmatic defamation suit is just getting started and he's out of money for lawyers.

He probably sold his moustache to pay for bus fare because that's eventually where everyone who support the felonious king of con ends up.

Run, Greg, Run!

I don't know what she brings to the party, but this is likely one of many red flags she's been waving. Just because you go through with the wedding doesn't mean the flags vanish.

Edit: just noticed the date on the sign. RIP, Greg. Good luck to you.

"Weird conman doesn't pay his bills" news at 11.

At what point are cities, municipalities, contractors, and everyone else learn what lawyers already know: get cash up front from the ex president because he won't pay afterwards.

Oh, and always have two people on your team there for every conversation because he'll like about everything said afterwards and you'll need the two people testifying during the deposition and resulting court case.

Surprise! A right wing candidate is in support of a very right wing candidate: news at 11.

I'll make a note to check Chronicle out.

I have it on the shelf, but haven't gotten to it. I'll put it in the reading queue.

There was also a competition (long ago) to see who could build a computer that would successfully boot Windows 95. The goal was to boot the slowest possible time (no arbitrary delays allowed).

The winner wrote a shim that emulated a floating point unit of the i486 so it would boot on a i386 (no floating point). The result was... booting after many weeks. They won big time.

I did some similar stuff on a Raspberry Pi. I had to NFS mount my desktop and make a swapdisk on the NFS mount to have enough RAM to build. It wasn't fast, but it did eventually work.

Jumper. It was setting up an interesting world with more depth than the first movie could delve. I loved that one of the characters was so cool that the author of the original novel went out and wrote another book just about the movie's character and it rocked.

 

This is kind of an open question for me: does any code coverage tool work in Java with Junit5? I'll admit that I'm no Java configuration specialist, so I find the complexity of XML-based configuration systems to be quite opaque. I've got a few simple Maven-based build projects on hand and I wanted to add code coverage to the test harnesses. Unfortunately, I have never managed to get one stood up and running. I do this all the time with Python pytest/coverage tools, but it's been elusive for Java projects.

Could someone here please point me to a working example of any Java project using Maven / Junit5 / [any code coverage system]?

My latest attempt to get a working example came from this howto: https://howtodoinjava.com/junit5/jacoco-test-coverage/

But, it once again gave me the: [INFO]


jacoco-maven-plugin:0.8.7:report (default-report) @ JUnit5Examples


[INFO] Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.

As near as I can tell, JaCoCo just never runs. Ever. It's been very frustrating. I've read tutorials, followed suggestions on configuring surefire in various ways. I've pulled misc repo that claim to have it working. I've tried different computers with different OSes, versions of java, different maven installs, etc. There's something somewhere that I'm missing and after months of off and on attempts to get this working I'm at my wit's end.

Please help.

 

The measure to make vehicles weighing 1.6 tons and over pay 3x the parking rates for the first two hours has passed in Paris.

Now, let's get that in place for London and many other other places to help slow, and even reverse, this trend towards massive personal vehicles.

 

This video outlines some of the relationships between US commuting culture and the perspectives that it's engendered about the role of the city. The, when compared and contrasted to other nations' approach to city design and perspectives shows that it's possible to have a city core that's more than just a workplace.

My city is currently clinging to a small area of interesting downtown core. Everything else has either been bulldozed for parking lots, turned into office buildings with no store fronts, or plowed into wider roads. Every time I show the maps of the city with how car-focused we've made downtown to a city council member they recoil at the desolation, but it's so hard to get change happening.

We need fewer roads, cars, and non-human spaces in our city core areas. Making wider walking paths, biking roads, mass transit (not just busses!), and planting trees to make spaces more attractive will all continue to invite people to come downtown, not just someone desperate enough to drive there, park, hit one store and drive away.

The mayor of Hoboken, NJ came in with a vision of reducing traffic deaths to pedestrians and cyclists. He instituted several strategies of traffic calming, increasing pedestrian visibility, reducing city wide street speeds to 20 mph with schools and parks down to 15 mph. Within a few years of road improvements and redesigns their pedestrian traffic deaths to zero for several years.

The article does note that half of the streets have bike lanes, they've put buffers between pedestrians and cars, and continue to redesign intersections with a focus on safety instead of just focusing on car speed/throughput.

 

What I'm looking for is some kind of desktop tool that uses the OpenAI GPT web endpoint. I'd like something where I'm able to upload one or more documents (text files) and then include them as part of the conversation/query.

I have access to the GPT-4 API and I've been writing Python3 code against it for some various applications. I can see how I'd write a tool that takes in one or more documents to include in the total prompt history, but I'm hoping to not have to write it myself, mostly due to time constraints.

Is there some kind of application that has a similar feature set to this that I should look at? Or, is there a wiki/site that lists off the current tools available that I could look over?

 

I'm enjoying the wefwef feel, but I have a question about copy/paste with comment text: is it even possible?

When I click on a given comment it collapses. When I click and drag it swipes. Is it possible in the web browser (desktop) to highlight a comment's text at all? It's not rare that I want to copy/paste some text, especially Lemmy links lately, to search/work with them. I'll also want to copy/paste quotes or other material on occasion.

So: what's the trick or instructions, if they exist, to be able to copy/paste text in wefwef?

 

I received an email from a textbook salesman. This isn't a rarity, but today this line lept out at me:

"Ideal for students learning concepts and reasonably priced at $144.95,"

No. Just no. $144.95 is not reasonably priced. This is the first of what is likely a lot of emails that I get to respond with the line in the sand that I've drawn:

"Reasonably priced" at $144.95?

No thank you. I won't subject my students to materials, including books, equipment, and any online tool licensing, that cost more than $60 per course. Until your offerings are in this range, please do not contact me again.

Even my $60 per course number is high as far as I'm concerned.

 

Given that it's June, my suggested book to read is "Monstrous Regiment" by Terry Pratchett. Yet another wonderful work by one of the best authors in the history of humanity.
