I’d start with wkhtmltopdf/pdfkit

Surely you can figure out how to use existing libraries for this task, or is there something you’re stuck on?

There are a ton of options depending on your tech level.

How are you with basic Python scripts?

He saying he used to be woke?

Said another way, the company that broke production just hired the guy who ran the backend of Pandora Radio for 10 years and not once did he make headlines for an outage.

$1.8M is pretty small as golden parachutes go. Was probably the smallest amount allowed under his employment contract which avoids a lawsuit.

Ah, that time when my job required me to write an executable scanner, and all the AVs got jealous I was honing in on their turf.

AV running in kernel mode charges its CPU cycles to the process being monitored, instead of the AV doing the monitoring.

I got a whole bunch of “your program is slow” support tickets which were resolved by telling the client to follow the AV exclusion instructions.

Here’s hoping it matures enough for desktop use by the time my Win10 desktop is EOL.

You want the big files to live on the NAS, but be navigable from your home dir for convenience and to discourage saving to the local disk.

And make symlinks for large collections, like ~/photos -> /mnt/nas/photos

I have a very high end computer and was able to flirt with 10kSPM but having to move to beltless designs is a real drag.

Limits of the game is right.

Over about 1000 SPM you need to design to optimize for frame rate and stop using parts like belts and nuclear reactors that require more CPU to simulate.

August 1998, but I held on to my external US Robotics 56k modem for a few years more.

Going to take a wild guess and say the same reason you shouldn’t chain extension cords. USB can carry over 200w these days.

Gambling? LOL.

The normal solution to a monopoly is forced breakup and divesture. Why does Google deserve to be above the law?

We don’t need to pay bribes to stay the default search engine so long as we get to keep making the monopolist browser that bans adblockers.

LOL no. The weights encode the training data and it’s trivially easy to make AI generators spit out bits of their training data.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

That was before they knew the health problems with secondhand smoke, but also before the invention of fire extinguishers.

This has been their stance since basically forever.

It makes things easier for them and they don’t pay the costs of security breaches, the people do.
