  T-Shirt, black, with white text “I see a little silhouette-o of a man, on my shirt, on my shirt, and he’s holding a mango”, and a picture matching this description above.

  Idk about Tenable specifically, but a lot of the major security vendors have their own pool of security researchers who very frequently contribute to CVE. Mostly from finding vulns in their own product, but a lot of those vulns are due to upstream libraries.

  Everything about this feels off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It really depends on both the size of the fidget spinner and the will of the child.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny you should mention that.

  My paternal grandparents were very religious, and my dad attended mass regularly as a kid and went to Catholic school.

  However, I don’t think he’s willingly set foot into a church except for funerals since I was born.

  My grandmother would drag me to church several times a week though.

  Didn’t stop my dad from threatening to baptize my kids behind my back. I think it was said in jest, or maybe to troll me…but my oldest is 8 now and neither of my kids have been around my parents unsupervised. Reap what you sow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d wager most millenial-and-older atheists probably attended mass regularly as kids. Many are probably baptized, confirmed, had communion, etc.

  We just realized it’s all bullshit intended for social control at some point along the way.

  Same kids who stopped saying the pledge in school as soon as they realized they could.

  Zoomer and younger atheists…yeah, they might have not had that experience. Probably because they were brought up by already-atheist gen-x and older millennials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, help a noob out. What is the difference between a sequence and an iterable? Is a sequence immutable, like a tuple?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t Python treat all empty iterables as false tho? This isn’t unique to python, is it? (though I’m not a programmer…just a dude who writes scripts every now and then)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if isinstance(mylist, list) and not mylist

  Problem solved.

  Or if not mylist # check if list is empty

  We had one, yes, but what about fourth July?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why can’t Trump use unitary executive theory to do something good…like force everyone to use ISO 8601.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  November 9 never forget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US small business owner says China tariffs endanger her company: ‘I could lose my home’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah just go on down to the factory outlet. Tons of factories there.

  Manufacturing doesn’t exist in the US. Not at any significant scale. That industry has long left, and it’s not coming back unless it is cost effective to do so.

  Do tariffs make it cost effective? Probably not. Americans are expensive to employ, comparably. We’d have to lower/remove minimum wage and automate away as many jobs as possible, or else the price will surely rise more than just dealing with the tarrif.

  And even if it were cost effective to manufacture here, you can’t just so n up that size of industry at the drop of a hat. Especially if you’re in the middle of deporting all the construction workers and enticing all of the engineers to flee to Europe.

  Mine was a parody of the lyrics from “Say my name” from the Beetlejuice musical. I thought it was especially fitting because BJ is demonstrating possessing humans for those lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder how many male, middle aged US filmmakers regularly call it a "director's cut" when carving up the thanksgiving turkey for their family.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but in practice it’s only going to be middle-aged men with kids who would say such a thing.

  My wife described it as rummaging through a purse, from the perspective of the purse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is testing a Buy for Me button powered by agentic AI that will let users purchase products from third-party websites without leaving Amazon's app.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same.

  It’s amazing how much money our family has saved the past couple of months alone, just be deciding we won’t patronize Amazon and Target now (in addition to Walmart).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprisingly enough, shady USB-C multiport adapters can be dangerous⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of junk in the Usb-c world.

  One of my kids tried to charge their Kindle Fire with a 8-inch cable that came with some cheap AliExpress gizmo. The cable glowed and then melted. Fun times, since they left it on the couch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We took a cruise for our honeymoon.

  On that cruise we stopped in Cozumel.

  In Cozumel there was this shady little zoo that had manatees that we fed lettuce.

  Later there was a sea lion show, and he walked around after getting pets from the crowd.

  I couldn’t believe how much that sea lion felt exactly like our German Shorthair Pointer. Like, same exact coat.

  Anyway that’s the whole point of the story. Sea lions feel like shorthaired dogs.
