  • You can uniquely salt every request trivially, so rainbow tables are effectively useless.

  • XNOR is so ambiguously named.

    Every time, I'm like: The inverse of XOR? Or the inverse of NOR? Oh, right, NOR is already the inverse of OR, so X-NOR is just OR, so XNOR must be the inverse of XOR.

  • Thanks for the reminder. So bad at taking my meds on weekends...

  • Enough whataboutism, please. The Government has hundreds of MPs; it doesn't make sense for all of them to spend all their time on the same small subset of issues, even if they're critical. Like, it's literally impossible to have that many people at a literal table.

  • It's really helpful for quadratic factoring, too, since knowing at a glance that –56 is ±7 × ±8 keeps your working memory free to actually focus on the mathematical skills/concepts/problem.

  • It's basically "common core" math (in the US), or just "updated curriculum" everywhere else in the world. Turns out that building fluency with math through play and number decomposition is incredibly powerful for long-term learning.

  • Exactly. People are being abducted off the street by plainclothes "officers" (who's to know?), put in the back of unmarked cars, and disappeared. A Canadian died in detainment from being denied access to live-saving prescription medication.

    Tariffs are so far down my list of reasons for not traveling to the US.

  • They need a bigger screen, too. The Ask! bar, Yahoo bar, Google bar, Bing bar, and browser search bar take up so much space.

  • 4 mm wider than the 10V. :(

    This model series used to be the only decent option for a narrow mid-range phone. Not much separates it from the competition aside from the 3.5mm jack, now. What a shame.

  • Yeah; that's not much time, and I'm not a lawyer, but this seems a complicated legal question. I just assumed any tool that circumvents any sort of digital lock would be hosting in countries that DGAF about US laws. Even better if they have a .onion address to avoid any network blocking attempts, like z-library.

  • Poilievre said the Sovereignty Act would also include his campaign promise to exempt people from capital gains tax when they reinvest the proceeds of an investment in a Canadian company.

    This one is insane. The 1% would accumulate so much more wealth, tax free, with this. JFC.

  • A similar strategy works great for me, but I frame it slightly differently based on my personal anxieties:

    • I'm procrastinating this important task because it's overwhelming
    • But I can't think about anything else because I'm worried I'm going to forget to do part of the task/some important detail
    • To be able to relax about this, I'll just write down a list of things I need to get done/don't want to forget

    Then, often, I'll realize there's a small part of the project that I am motivated to get done now so it's not looming over my head anymore. Or, if not, I've given myself a Hemingway Bridge to starting the task whenever I do have motivation.

  • It works in Canada without a SIM. I know because my son did it on his "wifi-only" tablet.

  • Do you need a phone plan at all for emergency calling? It's required for all carriers to take 911 calls in Canada.

  • One of my bigger concerns from all this is that reduced access to users to install apps might have chilling effects on app development. It's great being able to get apps from Itch.io, GitHub, and FDroid, but will developers continue releasing there if the user base dries up? I guess apk-mirror will likely still continue, since they're ripping from the Play store anyway.

  • You had me until multi-account Outlook access. Why not just use different browser profiles?

    That said, the Outlook application is necessary for lots of things, like saving email files (record keeping) and mail merges, but the number of accounts has never been a problem for me. I have 9 active email accounts spread across three/five different platforms (depending if you separate corporate vs. free), and I use web apps (by choice) for all of them, aside from popping Outlook open for the aforementioned mail merges and digital record keeping for email files.

    But absolutely true for Excel. It frustrates me so much when I'm stuck on a computer with even slightly outdated versions of the Excel application. SORT, FILTER, TEXTSPLIT, and so many other functions are so much simpler than the many workarounds I used to kludge together.

    But fuck Teams. The application is just as garbage as the web app. Those two fail/crash ten times more than all the other apps on my computer *combined". I've crashed three times in a single meeting. It must be vibe coded, bolted together, janky, spaghetti code.

  • I'm Canadian, but I was diagnosed with a 15 minute phone call with my GP. Granted, I have professional training in this area, and had examples prepared to match DSM criteria, but adult diagnosis can be very straightforward.

  • The Overton Window is shifting further and further Right by the day, and it makes me sad.

    We have a (small "c") conservative government in Canada, and I was celebrating his victory because it kept the (big "C") Conservatives out of power... But our government's policies are alarming, and are only good insofar as they aren't as terrible as what we'd have with PP in charge.

    Seems like the whole world is shifting Right.

    Daily driver work-from-home on Bazzite? Or something more mainstream (Debian?) and install Steam/proton?
