each module has it's own scoreboard, so yes, the scoreboard for the tutorial module maxes out at the maximum score for the tutorial module.

> The commercial cloud offering was later discontinued. Development of fleet-management tooling continued through an open-source project called Artemis, built on Supabase and PostgreSQL, which users self-host.[8]

> According to Denmark's Central Business Register, Toitware ApS ceased operating in 2024.[9] Development of the language continues as a community project on GitHub.

unsnap_bicepson Molly (Signal fork) has not been updated since 3 months and is vulnerable

Yes but that's different than linking a device. Moving it to a new device deactivates the old one. You can only have one primary device and you must log in with it every so often or else your account gets deleted.

unsnap_bicepson Patrick Stewart taught us what good men do with power

I watched the battle star reboot for the first time recently and the whole cylon reveal drama really ruined it for me. It felt like they were picked for shock value rather than story consistency. The first season was great, but it fell off for me and was a struggle to care by season 4. And I gave up on caprica after an episode or two.

unsnap_bicepson Show HN: Jointter – A daily word puzzle using dots and lines

I found it really hard to understand how this worked at first. I feel that having a tutorial would be extremely useful, show a board, describe the problem, show picking a letter, undoing it, picking the right letter, etc.

Unfortunately linked accounts don't count as primary devices so you will always have to keep the original device active or else they'll eventually delete your account.

    OP confirmed that the server was initially serving only an index.html. In that configuration, the vulnerable code path is never reached — it requires a .php file.
    OP added php-version.php roughly 18–19 hours into the experiment (I'm not sure of the exact timing), so that period should be subtracted from the publicly displayed challenge duration.

unsnap_bicepson Hybrid Reasoning Agents: LLM agents that think in latent space, act through text

I agree with you but our current understanding of the biological brain is pretty much an organic neural network. What's the thing that actually differentiates the two and makes a neural network not thought but our brain is? I don't know.

unsnap_bicepson British Airways: Filming Crew W Meta Glasses Could Get Your Tickets Cancelled

I would suspect that they do. My understanding is the vast number of people who commit crimes do not consider the ramifications of their actions, so there is no amount of punishment that materially changes their behavior.

I struggle with this. Growing up, I was spanked and it was highly effective at changing my behavior, but my older brother was very impulsive and he would get spanked a lot and it never seemed to chang his behavior. He settled down in his 20's after a lot of legal consequences, but I do wonder is there would have been any change for him if my parents went with a different style or if I would have turned out differently.

Yes, but the top post said "Public spaces". Private property isn't a public space.

In the case of truly public spaces, historically it's considered that other then in very specific situations (bathrooms for example) you have no expectations of privacy and can be recorded regardless of the shape of the camera.

On private spaces, which people constantly mix up with public spaces, you're absolutely correct that it is able to be restricted and can define very granularly what's acceptable. A plane is a private space. They can restrict anything they want (limited by protected class/characteristics in the US. Other countries may vary).

Home assistant is not a password management system. It's a home automation system. The fact that they added password management features into it does not change what it is. Is your email client a password management system because you enter your password into it?

It wasn't malicious but it wasn't expected.
