noselasd··on Nepal moves to block Facebook, X, YouTube and others
TikTok complied with their regulation last year. The regulations basically requires social media platforms with > 1 million nepalese accounts to get a license to operate in Nepal.

The bill and requirments doesn't seem unreasonable, atleast according to https://www.lawgandhi.com/social-media-bill-2081-2025/

Wasn't the point of the post you replied to that it isn't just a simple makefile ? That repo contains quite a lot carefully assembled scripts for each image that handles a lot of corner cases.

noselasd··on Streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy
It fails on all of them if it's not available to purchase, and none of them are of relevance if I want it right now vs having to wait 1-7 days to get hold of that physical copy and there's an easier alternative where I can have it right now.
noselasd··on Zig's Lovely Syntax
No, (in C++) the lambda can capture the the variable by value, and the lambda itself can be passed around by value. If you capture a variable by reference or pointer that your lambda outlives, your code got a serious bug.

It's not removed, it's moved to a separate file as it's problematic to use in tests, commit 06c2631 talks about why.

It's a bit specialized though, it's just a cached value of a time.NewTicker updating once per second and the article talks about this in the "Schedule Based on Monotonic Time" section
noselasd··on Woman takes 10x dose of turmeric, gets hospitalized for liver damage
That's unlikely, the turmeric used in asian cuisine contains about 3-5% curcumin while what's commonly sold as "turmeric" capsules/supplement often contain > 90%. Some may contain less but are mixed in with piperine that significantly boosts its effects/toxicity

It's an MCP for your database, ofcourse it's going to execute SQL. It's your responsibility for who/what can access the MCP that you've pointed at your database.

Nature will do fine with increased co2, bar arctic/antartic turmoil, it'll not be a big problem. The far bigger problem is that places where nature can even be gets occupied by humans or their farms and logging.

When you're cities of 20-40k people 4000 years ago, there's quite a bit of admin work that has to be done - it's not all small farmer villages or hunter-gatherers. Ancient Sumeria was quite advanced.
noselasd··on Unless my phone can be a PC, I don't want to keep paying for extra performance
> It has never been easier to build scientific devices that rely on your phone for compute.

I think the actual need right now is the other way around, don't build new devices and instruments, rather support existing devices.

If we can, there's the problem of where they would live. Looking at google maps, most of the good places for wildlife now is just a patchworks of deforrested farming fields and roads.

Single digit dollar sounds more like the Appollo program. I think it's been a long time since the entire NASA budget was more than a penny per tax dollar.

NASA says the voyager mission cost 865 million dollars from the start in 1972 to Neptune encounter in 1989, and currently runs at 7 mllion dollars per year.

noselasd··on An analysis of the Keycloak authentication system
> If I disclose a security issue to you, it doesn't matter if you're a multinational trillion dollar corporation or a hobbyist in Nebraska, the onus is on you to fix it. Not the security researcher. Their job is done once it's disclosed.

On the other hand, if I'm a hobbyist, I have 0 obligations to do or fix anything I've made open source. Patches are welcome ofcourse.

noselasd··on Floating megabomb heaves to near the English coast
> This needs more explanation, does this mean the captain refused? Or Russian port authorities refused? Or they just... chose to limp in a particular direction?

The ship ran aground between Norway and Russia, seeked emergency shelter in Tromsø. The ship has damanges on it propellors and rudder. It anchored up near Tromsø for while until the port authorities and governments told the ship to leave due to security concern. Basically the ship stayed outside a small populated island, and it was determined the island would be blown flat if something happened.

The Norwegian government are likely extra nerveous about this, just a small amount of the same stuff was used to blow up the government quarter in Oslo in the terrorist attack by Anders Brevik.

Presumably the ship tried to get to another port elsehwhere, but got into more mechanical trouble.
