Having more than one account isn't against Reddit's ToS.

If you use your different accounts in different subreddits and never have your accounts interact, you won't be banned.

The only place PFAS is used in an FDM printer is the filament guide some printers have. That's a Teflon tube that the filament travels in towards the hotend. Bowden style printers tend to have a long tube, direct drive printers sometimes have a short tube fully contained in the hotend assembly.

I don't see how PFAS can be used as a filament in FDM printer. It's not a thermoplastic, that's one of its advantages as a material.

If you built your own app that does exactly what you want for your own use, kudos and more power to you. But otherwise...

You're competing with Google. The built-in Drive app does document scanning.

> You search for matching documents in your vector database / index. Once you have found the potentially relevant list of documents you check which ones can the current user access. You only pass the ones over to the LLM which the user can see.

Sometimes the potentially relevant list of documents itself is a leak all by itself.

I read that as the author, going to the funeral, broke down. That is they felt devastated emotionally, internally and possibly externally as in "broke down crying".

The funeral itself probably continued without any issues. I guess that's another social skills lesson, the world carries on regardless of your emotions.

MSVC always focused on C++, and C was treated as an afterthought.

Sorry, I'm having trouble parsing your point.

"Professional degree" is juxtaposed with "research degree". So if you say it's a professional degree, you're basically agreeing it's not a research degree...

In my country at least MDs are not required to be researchers and the degree has no novelty requirements. They're required to be competent medical professionals.

There are countries where the base medical degree is the MBBS and MD is a graduate research doctorate. That's not what I'm talking about here.

I'm not talking about "difficulty", by the way. Just the differences between the degrees.

It's still a 5-6 year degree, as opposed to a 3-4 year bachelor's.

I agree it's not a research degree though... But some master programs don't include writing a research thesis either.

That's not right. A PhD is a PhD.

An MD (Medical Doctorate) is like a master's degree. It's not like a bachelor's because many MD programs start out with or require a BSc, biology is a popular choice but a lot of STEM majors are possible.

But MD+PhD programs exist and those are definitely PhDs.

You are right that an MD is not a PhD, though. Notice how they don't call it a PhD.

Um, what?

It's perfectly fine to make a business implementing, installing, or supporting FOSS software. I would even consider that a positive thing. Even if you don't (or can't!) help the upstream development.

And in other cases the text is there because it has been used in other legal documents, and might not be needed for this document, but those documents were good and it doesn't cost anything to put that text in so we should keep using it.

In other words it's a cargo cult.

Looks fine here, maybe they're blocking your IP range for some reason?

It's more for sound engineers than musicians, but Adobe Audition exists.
