OP needs to stop Chase-ing up votes.

They say “everything’s bigger in Texas,” but maybe that’s just because California hasn’t whipped it out until now…

But I thought they smelled bad on the outside?

No one “shatters,” “breaks,” or otherwise surpasses violates the diffraction limit. Rather, you operate in such a way that the diffraction limit does not apply.

This is not to take away from these accomplishments at all! All manner of super resolution techniques are fantastic, but they’re not violating the diffraction limit; they are violating the assumptions that go into the diffraction limit, or they are using a different definition of resolution (which is completely valid), or both.

Gosh I wonder why they’re against mail-in ballots.

Any voter in CA is eligible, and honestly, with the number of propositions and local stuff on the ballot it’s essential to do research ahead of time regardless of your political preferences. So much easier to fill it out over a few weeks IMHO.

Beware though, there may be new rules about needing it received rather than postmarked by the election date (which is obviously bullshit).

I had an…interesting…take home exam in college. The max score was 100, but the test had 200 points. So, if confident, you could answer half the exam and still get the highest score; if not confident in answers, you could answer more questions and rely on partial credit

It was a week long take home, “open everything” (book/Internet, but no discussions online or IRL). In some ways the hardest exam I ever took, but I learned a lot, and some of the questions were specifically meant to introduce new subjects.

I would probably add “transmit power” in there somewhere, but I guess if you’re assuming regulatory limits then it’s not a big variable.

Never tried it, but hot peppers can be added to birdseed to prevent this — birds aren’t sensitive to capsaicin, so it only affects the mammals.

Gnarly PDEs aren’t exactly the same beast as differentiating single variable polynomials.

Sounds like this was basically the plot of the first Nolan Batman.

If you really want to try some, you could use d-limonene. It’s just orange oil (like you get when you squeeze an orange peel), is edible, and is basically a kerosene-like hydrocarbon. It’s used in hand soap and works for stripping paint, and you can run multi-fuel camp stoves off of it, too!

Careful ingesting it though, as it isn’t always food grade due to extraction methods/additives. It causes kidney tumors in rats, but the mechanism is known and is not relevant to humans.

Global Outbreak World Response Outreach Network, perhaps?

Lots of local-only options out there for security cameras. Doorbell cameras may be a little harder to find, but it looks like they exist.

I have a few Amcrest PoE bullet cameras, and they work great local-only. They’re on a separate VLAN, only my server can talk to them, and I have had zero problems with them. They even support NTP, which my router provides, so the clocks stay synced with no intervention. I’m running them with Frigate.

Every so often there’s a post on Lemmy about how you should stick it to your landlord and put grease down the drain.

This is why that’s a bad idea, and it sucks for everyone, not just your landlord.

Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.

Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that’s not the case!

For old stuff though…yeah, I’d hope it’s not moving backwards :)

my pro tip.

I see what you did there.

Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).

VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.

A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It’s easy to forward over ssh though.

You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.

As they say, it costs a lot to be poor.
