on popOS I see 0.0.0.0:*

I'm not sure why it deviates from Debian and Ubuntu which its based on though

printing even works on linux now, thanks to stuff like Airprint and the support for it in CUPS

we should fix this, CUPS is used in a bunch of consumer hardware

it's not a complete disaster like it was implied to be though

at least for awhile this is how bluesky/atproto worked. afaik they only ran into issues when the number of users on each server overwhelmed how many files would fit comfortably in a single directory (which is obviously a large number)

New comment by cp9 in "Rapid7 throws JetBrains under the bus for uncoordinated vulnerability disclosure"

cp9 — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 14:40:13 +0000

my understanding matches yours. I don't think this article is particularly clear about why rapid7 would threaten to disclose a vulnerability before a patch is ready and then subsequently get angry that jetbrains put out a patch to fix the issue

cp9 — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 14:38:49 +0000

so rapid7 is mad that jetbrains fixed the vulns they reported? isn't that the point of reporting vulnerabilities? why is rapid7 threatening to release the details in 24 hours?

New comment by cp9 in "Should you go for 2 down 8?"

> The conversion rates aren't even equal between teams

yes but in this instance we are considering the same team

New comment by cp9 in "Should you go for 2 down 8?"

the context is "yes, you were down by 14, but your team just lined up and scored a TD on the last play. you have to make the decision whether to kick the XP or go for 2. since you just scored 6, you are now down 8"

it is confusing because the conversation is taking place after you just scored

> even if they were two bites at that apple gives you better odds than just one

(assuming you want to win in regulation which presumably you do because OT is inherent chaotic)

> getting to OT in this scenario is the fallback

I meant to say "likely fallback"

New comment by cp9 in "Should you go for 2 down 8?"

sorry but none of this makes any sense.

these are the assumptions they are attempting to debunk:

- All 2-point conversions are equally likely to succeed.

I have seen no evidence that all 2-point conversions *aren't* equally likely to succeed, and even if they were two bites at that apple gives you better odds than just one

- You will stop the other team from scoring.

regardless of whether you choose to go for it or kick the XP, you still have to stop your opponent on their subsequent drive. if they do so much as kick a FG it's game over already, so it doesn't matter.

- You will get a touchdown on the subsequent drive.

you have to score a TD or the debate doesn't matter so it's irrelevant to this argument

- The clock expires after that.

again we have to assume we are preventing the opponent from scoring any additional points because the debate makes no sense without that caveat

- There are even odds of winning in overtime.

getting to OT in this scenario is the fallback, while it's the best outcome of just kicking the XP twice in a row

re: the 19 days issue

you're planning around the time where most of the people who review these things are going to be taking PTO. as far as I could tell reading the guidelines the only guarantee apple gives you is that they'll get to it as soon as possible

it's also a little funny that DHH is saying that apple exempted them from the rules last time and then a couple paragraphs later is complaining that apple exempts other companies from the rules as well

only people who are actively looking for jobs are considered unemployed, so the "jobless working age population" is a larger group than people considered unemployed. so, you can have a person who is unemployed get a job and another person who is jobless but wasn't considered unemployed because they weren't actively looking then become unemployed because they began to actively look for a job.

well, the V hello world example still leaks memory like a sieve so, that's probably bad news for a browser engine
