Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.

VOY 3x8,3x9,3x10,3x11, and 3x12. I haven't seen Voyager since it originally aired and my partner has never seen it. This is a really interesting point in the series for me.

The good: the doctor gets the mobile emitter. This is the first really big change in the show structure and more doctor is always better. Plus, Future's End (3x8 and 3x9) is a really fun 2-parter with great guests.

The bad: the lack of character or circumstance development really starts to drag by this point. I know there's the big shakeup at the end of season 3 and I'm extremely ready for it. Warlord (3x10) tries to be a big Kes episode to circle back to her psychic powers but like everything it goes nowhere. Not to mention I know her story goes nowhere so it's hard to be excited about anything she does.

In general, if you come to the correct number nothing will happen. You are technically committing perjury if you knowingly put incorrect information on a tax form, so I would avoid doing that to make a point. Do you have any specific examples of form fields you feel are overly intrusive?

Some ok takes here and some weird ones. I understand this is supposed to be a simply written article but I think "clean" and "messy" are way too reductive in this type of discussion without more context.

While I do think many good developers are passionate, it does not take passion to adhere to good practices. I don't expect a bridge designer to be passionate about bridges, I expect them to follow best practices and a good bridge will follow.

Accurate estimates are only possible when tasks are well defined and well scoped. A bad developer will still give you an estimate on a nebulous task, a good developer will tell you there needs to be more investigation.

All code will have bugs, a good developer isn't someone who never makes bugs. This is why testable code is important.

Yeah, I was shocked to see it pop up in my mastodon feed this morning. After denying several FOIA requests I figured they'd keep it buried out of spite.

From the linked discussion it looks like there's a new feature rolling out where mods can activate "automatic ban evasion protection" during a ban. Mods don't get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.

Their current app uses a cross platform framework that allowed them to write their app once and then publish to both iOS and Android. That system is no longer well supported and was causing them issues implementing passkeys on mobile. They've been working on rewriting the app individually for each platform using the platform's specific language. That's generally Java on Android and Swift on iOS. It's more work, but ideally the apps should be more responsive, better follow each platforms style guidelines, and have access to all features on the platform.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that's your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

Existing code is MIT licensed, that's their permission. Sublicensing without restriction is one of the parts of MIT.

Maybe we could use all the time, effort, and money spent on hostile architecture on shelter. Instead we throw resources into park benches that suck at being benches.
