Hmm. Maybe you were thinking about elemental mercury vs methyl mercury? That’s a case where the danger (at least through ingestion) depends greatly on the format.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Game] Path of Exile 2 gets a fix for Linux / Steam Deck being detected as cheating
3·9 months agoIt’s because of the ability to trade items with other players. Any exploit that affected item drops or crafting creates the potential to upend the entire global market in the game, affecting the experience of many other players who might play mostly alone but will often look to the market to trade for items they need.
Yes, we carefully select beans from a number of different producers, with our local blendmaster determining the final ratio. This ensures we are able to provide you with that consistent experience users have come to expect from the brand.
For the more adventurous palate and a true sense of terroir, I recommend something from our single origin line.

Technology@beehaw.org•Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI
21·11 months agoThis is not the case, but I do still disagree with the “trust me bro” approach to a feature rollout that does send data your somewhere, encrypted or not.
Edit: For those interested, the reason it’s not the same as a backdoor is that the result of the computation done on HE data is itself still encrypted and readable only by the original owner. So you can effectively offload the work of a certain analysis to a server that you don’t actually trust with your keys.

Technology@beehaw.org•Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI
33·11 months agoHomomorphic encryption, which allows for analyzing secret data without a decryption step, is actually incredibly cool. It’s a shame the conversation will begin with the fact that they deployed the feature as on by default.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Earth mostly liquid, like a water balloon?
9·1 year agoHey watch it, I’m 70% slime!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Earth mostly liquid, like a water balloon?
43·1 year agoNah, it’s more like a wet baseball. Only 0.02% water by mass. Source
Edit: My bad, you asked about liquid, not just water, so this is less relevant but I’ll leave it as some trivia.
No future issues. But there isn’t that much of the tooth left, I have a crown there which is most of what’s visible. Make sure you look up or have explained to you the steps of the procedure so you aren’t surprised.

Technology@lemmy.world•Two never-before-seen tools, from same group, infect air-gapped devicesEnglish
9·1 year agoSo far, we haven’t been able to trace back to the initial compromise vector in the campaigns seen in our telemetry.
They hypothesize that attaching a compromised USB drive to an air gapped system is to blame. That seems to be a well known vector at this point. Does it matter much what tool is used to copy data once it’s in?
I’ve had a number of cavities repaired but only one root canal. It wasn’t a fun day, sure, but one thing that I appreciate was that it was such a complete fix for the problem. Some of my other work has had to be repaired, or I’ve had more issues on the same tooth. But with the root canal I went from being in a lot of pain to having none at all.
My go to for most of what you mention is Go, but that’s obviously a compiled language and not for scripting. Or is it - What do you think about https://github.com/traefik/yaegi, which provides an interpreter and REPL for Go? It would let you use a performant and well documented language in a more portable scripting way, but not preclude you from generating statically linked binaries if and when that’s convenient.
Early days is one thing, but if this is the entirety of the code
# WIPThen there isn’t much to have a discussion about…
There’s already some good advice here, especially about virtual environments which might be the most important new concept to learn IMO. But just to let you know - it’s not just you. The most generous view of the Python package situation is that there are a lot of different ways to do it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which character should I use in a Windows/Linux directory name to place it at the top of an alphabetically sorted list?
5·2 years agoThis is an exact answer to the question and yet reading it makes my skin crawl. TIL I have opinions on file organization!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?
7·2 years agoYeah agreed. But I guess I’d rather do that than clean it off my walls (and lungs apparently?). Definitely recommend getting a bigger one than you need, though, so you can run the fan lower and the media takes a little longer to get crusty.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?
14·2 years agoSo, I actually had this because of my humidifier. I was using an ultrasonic humidifier with tap water - I know distilled is recommended, but with how dry it is here, that would mean an insane amount of bottled water. But I noticed a film of white dust appearing around the room from the dispersed salts and whatnot. Turning off the humidifier (and later replacing it with an evaporative style) cleared up my daily stuffiness instantly.

Linux@lemmy.ml•So now what distro are we running for LTS desktops?
25·2 years agoa stable experience that isn’t buggy
Stable has a particular meaning with distros but I think the context here is using the plain English definition of the word.

Memes@lemmy.ml•[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds?
1·2 years agoThis is probably the worst example to choose, because in the US the generic name is acetaminophen. This is a case where the brand name actually unites understanding of a drug whose chemical name differs by location.
That being said, I still agree with the spirit, let’s stick to referring to the drug and not the brand.

Nah you’re doing fine
