I'm a bit of a noob in hardware design, so maybe this is a stupid question, but why is a FPGA scary?

It would seem scarier to me if they actually fabbed an FPGA into an ASIC right? That could maybe indicate they have some kinda plan to mass-produce them, no?

Although I agree with the sentiment - the article mentions that it's "only" regarding about 1 mil people. (Probably South Korean users)

So it's still a $15 fine per violation. Could have been much higher, sure, but I don't know if that's a good return of investment for Facebook.

Maybe this case sets an example for other countries or regulatory bodies to start issuing fines to Facebook as well

I haven't used json(b) in a Spring app, so I can't say much about that.

Json vs Jsonb depends on the use-case. Inserting json is faster than inserting Jsonb. Reading json (based on searching for specific json properties) Jsonb is faster, because Jsonb is parsed into a more optimized tree.

From my experience, I don't really like doing selects based on json properties. If I know I'll be selecting a certain property, I usually add an additional column next to the json with the data, and insert that property there (At least in c#/dotnet, with EF) The frameworks don't have that much support for selecting within json (you can do it, it's just a lot more natively supported to use proper columns)

Nice. Does that mean I can take my 1980s computer case back off the shelve, and finally get to use a Turbo button again?

I'm not entirely sure what you hope to achieve: have a GPG encrypted subject, and have ThunderBird automatically understand that it's encrypted, so it can be automatically decrypted?

Since you're saying you're building software to support this, what are you building? A ThunderBird plugin that can do this? Or just standalone software that you want to make compatible with ThunderBird default way of handling encryption?

There's a Python WASM runtime, if you really want to run python in a browser for some reason...

Recruitment is now basically Dead Internet theory...

It gives an example:

For example, with the phrase “My favorite tropical fruits are __.” The LLM might start completing the sentence with the tokens “mango,” “lychee,” “papaya,” or “durian,” and each token is given a probability score. When there’s a range of different tokens to choose from, SynthID can adjust the probability score of each predicted token, in cases where it won’t compromise the quality, accuracy and creativity of the output.

So I suppose with a larger text, if all lists of things are "LLM Sorted", it's an indicator.

That's probably not the only thing, if it can detect a bunch of these indicators, there's a higher likelihood it's LLM text

To be fair, if Jack Dohertys' kick chat would have been on his windshield, at least he would have been looking slightly outside

Having to pass in null values seems a bit weird. You can define functions and optional parameters like this:

function myFunction(a = 1, b = 1, c = null, d = null, e = true) {
  return a * b;
}

Then people don't have to call your function with

myLibrary.myFunction(1, 7, null, null, true);

they just call your library with

myLibrary.myFunction(1, 7);

You could add a default inside the method signature, like:

function myFunction(a = 1, b = 1, c = null, d = null, e = true) {
  if (c === null) {
    c = 5;
  }
  return a * b * c;
}

because if you define it in the method:

function myFunction(a = 1, b = 1, c = 5, d = null, e = true) {
  return a * b * c;
}

then if people still call it with

console.log(myFunction(5, 2, null));

Then the default c = 5 is overwritten by null, and results in 0.

I don't know if you really need to handle all that though, instead of just doing c = 5 - if people intentionally call your library with null, and things go wrong...? well yea ok, don't do that then.

But it depends on the use-case. If this is some method deep within a library, and some other calling method might be unintentionally dumping null into it, you could default it inside the method, and handle it

Because Wordpress is also hosting 1000s of plugins that WP engine users can install.

I'm not sure what the license regarding those things is, WP engine could probably just mirror it -

But they basically got locked out of the default ecosystem infrastructure.

Since others already suggested mostly on-topic suggests, here's an alternative suggestion:

Instead of looking specifically for a mentor - look for an open source project that you can help with. Ideally one with a discord or something to it's easy to be in contact the the lead dev. A lot people don't mind mentoring juniors, but in my experience it doesn't happens that explicitly - "be my mentor" - and it might sound like you're asking them a lot.

If you invert it into "Hey I wanna help you with your open-source project, but I don't really know what to do, what your expectations are, how to implement a specific feature" - then you're offering to do work them, instead of asking for something. And implicitly you'll get mentorship in return.

And "real" projects probably also look better on your github / portfolio than only some dummy projects for learning purposes
