1·14 days agoyou can potentially buy ubuntu or redhat commercial distros. there support is more industry oriented, but i assume they have some amount of beginner friendly tech support. but just guessing here, so please do check before buying anything.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Op doesn't have time for interviewsEnglish
5·18 days agoi know this solution, but many problems are there, what if it is in a ceiling fixture, or enclosed in something such that i can not know the temp (hot or cold), then i can still observe luminosity changes. if you feel your eyes do a bad job, get a camera properly color and temp caliberated, and just focus on filament (now auto exposure or temperature adjustment).
tl:dr i am still trying to poke holes in this thermocol wall of defence.

14·18 days agoAfter reading the incandescent bulb solution, and problems regarding touching the bulb, i would switch first switch on for a appreciably long time, such that bulb has hit maximum luminousity (they heat up as they run, the hotter they get, the brighter they are), then turn switch off, and turn second switch on and quicky run to other room. we are trying to observe change in luminousity as time elapses. if it reduces, it was first (we ran it for a long time, there would be some residual glow, from my irl observations from when i was small suggest roughly 1 min period where i can still tell, but bulb wattage, contrat with background and distance matter). if increasing or max luminous, then second, if nothing then third.
but it was a stupid question. my naive guess was it can not be done, because with just 1 binary observation, you can not tell from 3 switches (you need atleast 2, which the solution assumes as temp and light state, i substitute heat with light state in transition). but still stupid. my natural assumption was leds, even when i head incandascent bulbs in my house somewhere for nearly half of my life. it is also stupid, because when you allow me to do something i was mentioned in question to do, i could just bend my way to do anything. like punch/drill through wall, or hack surveillance systems, or just pull out my handy multimeter that i always have on me, open switch box and see which switch is live, which is dead, or see voltage/current/wattage change across the loop, or measure resistance and guess what thing is there, or like blackmail the interviewer to extract the answer.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•2025 felt like a disaster — but the numbers tell a very different storyEnglish
11·20 days agoTakes a lot more than a dozen or so downvotes to discourage me
that is great. I do not know if you (or anyone else for that matter) may think this community or melly/piefed or fediverse in general is like this, and so wanted to say sorry (as a member/mod of this comm).
I do not even have a ad-blocker. I just have global js disabled and some css rules - goes a very long way and almost no website complaints, is lighter for my browser (though i also have /etc/hosts rule in case something passes by).

1·21 days agoi did not expect that, that is like actually translucent. My guess is this is some textile engineering to hold air across surface to reduce skin friction, but i do not think that adding a base non transparent layer will hurt that much (probably just weight). thank you

5·21 days agono problem buddy, post freely. this is not controversial at all compared to what it used to be half or so year ago, it is like a fraction.
thanks for the post, i did hear something in these lines a year ago but did not know any details.

13·22 days agosorry for being late, been away a lot lately. also the website just did not liek my setup (js/cache disabled, plus some more), had to start inprivate window.
getting to main topic - it is not a uplifting news from the title - but from the part - she became the first to sccore in shorts, which to my non sports term understanding ass sounds like skorts (or whatever those skin hugging clothing for respective sport is called) bad and shorts good, is uplifting. So definitely leave it up.
I watch cricket a lot (a bat and ball sport) - and you basically wear what you want - full/half sleaves, sweater or jacket or cap or hat - if it does not hinder your performance it does not matter.
I can see some sports where gear matters - swimming and running sports come to mind where viscous drag from water or air come in effect, and how your gear shapes and how vortex shedding happens and general graglines matter, so like running shoes, it becomes a requirement for performance, but beyond these sports, any clothing should work.
I do know that alot of women sports get viewing purely because a lot men get to see “hot women”, and that is definitely bad.
upvoting because you gave alt text/captions (it is a thing i have started to do)










certainly, for far less actually. His ogood thing is that he did this in public, so coke can not really go after him (trail would be obvious).
