This is the British meaning of surgeon, so just general doctor vs. doctor who cuts people up.

A police surgeon is a doctor trained in forensics. They assess injuries after an assault, whether a prisoner needs medical attention, etc. They are often a normal operating doctor who does police work when needed.

It sounds like a link can be a file path and clicking the link just opens the file. If that’s the case, this is effectively the same risk as filesystem shortcuts.

Yep. Lovely reading font.

I love Linux Biolinum for reading. It’s a ‘humanist sans-sarif,’ which means it designs letters like a serif font but with less little bits stuck on.

“Forever. be forever” Trump said about the deal. “That’s better than the Obama deal with the famous Iran nuclear deal, with a nine-year deal. No, this is forever. This is long-term.”

What an asshole. Blows up a significant measure in limiting the spread of nukes, then acts like it fell apart on its own.

As far as I can tell, the frog incident was not real-world. It was a police department vetting a system by doing fake test stops. They did one with Princess And The Frog playing in the back seat and the transcription system interleaved the traffic stop and film dialogue, then took that at face value for the summary.

System still sucks, but at least they were testing before blindly relying on it.

This makes a port possible. You need to replace the graphics and system API calls to make a port to another platform and you need to pull in the assets.

It bothers me. There are too many things that are either not standards-complient or support different parts of the USB feature set that compatibility is a wildcard.

I carry a large backup battery when I travel for work. It can keep my laptop going under load all day, allowing me to not care at all about proximity to outlets when working. It also allows me to painlessly recharge phones by just handing it to someone.

Last week, I was running something from someone else’s laptop (enterprise HP, like mine, but different model). It got low, so I pulled out my battery. Plug it in… No power. I could see the voltage fluctuations of it negotiating, but nothing after that.

The only real impacts it has had are making me pay more attention to how I feel and more intentional about how I eat. I’m not going back for seconds just because they are there since I consciously decided that my initial portion was a good amount. I’m also not going a day without eating since it didn’t cross my mind because I can see that little line slowly go down and it reminds me that food is good.

Modern tech is amazing. The management of T1D has been reduced to a glance at my phone every once in a while and a couple keystrokes when I eat something.

I was talking to someone recently who was diagnosed as a little kid and the stuff that they went through sounded awful. Their adult management of it is no better than mine is for having gone through that.

Sounds similar to the months before my T1 diagnosis at 27. More and more thirsty, less and less hungry. Water would fly through me too, making me suddenly have to pee not long after drinking.

It was actually the system Cloudflare uses to catch and block bots that went haywire.

They had a fake database you could query that would pull content from a bunch of different shard databases. They updated the config so that systems querying it could see the shards in addition to the main dummy DB. The tool that pulled data out of it assumed that it could only see the dummy, however, so it just asked for everything when it pulled a report to pass to the filtering system.

The filtering system assumed the report it received would be properly formed and crashed if it got one that was malformed.

Accountants tally the numbers and hand you the totals. Twisting them is unethical and can lead to them losing their licenses.

Analysts manipulate the numbers to push a message. No ethics allowed.

Signed, an analyst raised by an accountant. Interacting with other analysts is infuriating.

CBS and Comedy Central are both Paramount.

They did vote to restrict access to the Measels/Mumps/Rubella vaccine for children under 4. Monsters.

For those who don’t know, that vaccine is the origin of the modern anti-vaccine movement. A company marketing stand-alone vaccines was mad that somebody made a combo vaccine, making theirs unmarketable, so they funded fraudulent studies to block it.

There is a lovely Skyrim Tarot deck. A bit outside your range there, but I saw it lower elsewhere.

They aren’t disagreeing with that. They are reporting that a source within the government claims the footage in the gap exists.

It did to me too until I zoomed in.

My wife thinks it is beads using a finger for scale. The glitter effect on the finger is likely fresh adhesive sticking them there.

Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!

1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.

2 is very weird. It’s an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.

If it was an electrical issue, they wouldn’t have been able to just turn them back on, which one of the pilots did.

The two switches were moved to off sequentially with the right amount of gap for a human doing it quickly. One of the pilots then questioned why they were off, and they were then both turned back on individually a short time later.

The possibility the FAA was investigating was whether the latches on the switches may not work, allowing them to be moved unintentionally. This was unlikely due to the timing, but they still had to eliminate it.

Yes. Nothing is truly incompressible. The speed of sound can be viewed as a measure of how much a material can squish on the atomic level before the next atoms move.
