macOS Tahoe UI has a HUGE new feature for folks like me who have 24/7 Mac Minis running and access them remotely: you can now type the boot password remotely via SSH!

Power on the Mac, then SSH to it. A simple SSH server will handle your request. Typing the password there is equivalent to typing it on the keyboard. The connection then closes and the machine boots normally.

Combine this with "Start up automatically after a power failure" and you can ditch that KVM!

Take the pile of papers and junk that you've had sitting on your desk for forever because maybe you'll go through it all sometime and add it to the other pile of papers and junk that's been sitting on your shelf for forever because maybe you'll go through it sometime. It doesn't actually get the paperwork taken care of, but at least you'll feel better when your desk isn't such a garbage heap with just your keyboard and mouse able to do anything.

Human Development from Middle Childhood to Middle Adulthood by Lea Pulkkinen, 2017

Growing Up to be Middle-Aged

This seminal work focuses on human development from middle childhood to middle adulthood, through analysis of the research findings of the groundbreaking Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS).

directory.doabooks.org/handle/




The JYLS project, which began in 1968, has generated extensive publications over many years but this is the first comprehensive summary that presents the conceptual framework, the research design and methodology, and the findings. The study looks at the development over time of issues related to personality, identity, health, anti-social behavior, and well-being and is unparalleled in its duration, intensity, comprehensiveness and psychological richness. The thorough synthesis of this study illustrates that there are different paths to adulthood and that human development cannot be described in average terms. The 42-year perspective that the JYLS provides shows the developmental consequences of children’s differences in socioemotional behavior over time, and the great significance of children’s positive socioemotional behavior for their further development until middle age. Not only will the book be an invaluable tool for those considering research methods and analysis on large datasets, it is ideal reading for students on lifespan courses and researchers methodologically interested in longitudinal research.

So I'm improving Article display in Hometown.
@julian made this post:

browser.pub/https://community.

`content` and `summary` are ALMOST the same, so my software renders repeated content. I'd like to be able to say "if content and summary are the same, then default to one of them and exclude the other". Now the only difference seems to be a newline, so maybe I just trim whitespace but... thoughts? Is this good use of `summary` by nodebb in the first place?

CC @technical-discussion

A post in a Mastodon-like interface where the same content is repeated exactly twice. The first instance is in all italics since it's supposed to be a summary. The second instance is the content itself, repeated, but no longer in italics except the parts that are actually italicized in the original post

Four months ago, the CEO of Fiverr sent out an email to its staff with the stark message "AI is coming for your jobs."

Today the other shoe dropped as the company is laying 250 employees (30% of workers) as part of a pivot into becoming "an AI-first company with a smaller team, greater productivity and fewer management layers."

Freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork have been hardest hit by the rise of AI tools including agents.

Online marketplace Fiverr to lay off 30% of workforce in AI push

The cuts, which will affect 250 employees, are a part of a restructuring plan announced by Fiverr's CEO Micha Kaufman geared towards investing heavily in AI and incorporating the technology into the company's platform. "We are launching a transformation for Fiverr, to turn Fiverr into an AI-first company that's leaner, faster, with a modern AI-focused tech infrastructure, a smaller team, each with substantially greater productivity, and far fewer management layers," Kaufman said in a letter to employees. While it isn't clear what kinds of jobs will be impacted, Fiverr operates a self-service digital marketplace where freelancers can connect with businesses or individuals requiring digital services like graphic design, editing or programming.

So, um, how do I do the NPM equivalent of

$ cargo install --locked mergiraf

Let’s say I want to install https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google/gemini-cli — how do I prevent npm install from fetching malware-ridden dependencies that got published today, and instead have it used the locked version that the maintainers of gemini-cli have verified?

#npm #nodejs #javascript

@google/gemini-cli

Gemini CLI. Latest version: 0.4.1, last published: 5 days ago. Start using @google/gemini-cli in your project by running `npm i @google/gemini-cli`. There are 11 other projects in the npm registry using @google/gemini-cli.
