> Many programmers believe that it is impossible, or at least impractical, to code effectively in a monospaced font.

Your post was the very first place I've ever saw that assertion in any shape or form. I never heard anyone come close to make that assertion ever.

Moreover, modern IDEs started featuring functionalities that rely on monospace fonts, such as selecting blocks of text by both rows and columns.

You should pass off your personal opinion as your own personal opinion instead of posting baseless assertions wrapped in an unbelievable appeal to popularity.
Talking about keyboard shortcuts consistency on MacOS, how do you think about Home/End/PageUp/PageDown (or Cmd/Fn + Left/Right/Up/Down), and further on, combined with Ctrl/Shift? The behavior varies dramatically across different apps. It's a nightmare comparing to that on Windows/Linux.
Your comment is a non-sequitor; reread what he said.

On top of this original feature, the company has added a wide range of functions that include automatic expense claims, a clock-in system to monitor the whereabouts of employees, as well as a "daily report" function that requires workers to list completed tasks.

As DingTalk has grown, many Chinese office workers have vented their frustrations online about the service, saying it is inhumane and destroys trust.

"Inhumane and destroys trust" doesn't sound too far off the mark to me. But it's not so very different from working in an open office with daily standups, and that's become pretty well-accepted in technical fields over the last few years. I hope we see some changes -- more trust and less demand for pervasive visibility -- but it's hard to be terribly optimistic on this point right now.

"I asked a friend of mine who's a Sci-fi enthusiast. He said ' I think SF creators have the unspoken idea that there will be no such thing "in the future"...'"

I don't see what justifies a generalization that SF authors generally ignore disabilities. Without doing a large survey, or a statistical analysis, there's an influential story by one of the most famous SF authors that comes instantly to mind, and it was written 3/4 of a century ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldo_(short_story)

Heinlein also wrote multiple stories with blind main characters.

Granted, I haven't read much SF in the last 20 years, so maybe they stopped writing about disabilities.
Designing a solar tarp

> The Mos Eisley cantina appears as interested in serving disabled patrons as it is in serving droids […]

I would guess that disabled people wouldn't live long on Tatooine in any case. A bar owner in what is literally a wretched hive of scum and villainy, probably has bigger issues than installing a wheelchair ramp.

But in all seriousness, in a lot of the examples where Ratcliff mentions wheelchair accessibility it just doesn't make any sense from a narrational perspective. In Star Wars the majority of ships are military in nature; it doesn't make tactical nor logistical sense for an army to facilitate wheelchair accessibility on a warship (anyone in a wheelchair would be a liability in emergencies).

The USS Enterprise (NCC 1701 D) was more of a science vessel by design then the pioneering USS Discovery (NCC 1031). The former might have facilitated a visiting scientist in a wheelchair, the latter wouldn't.

There is a point to be made that civilians with disabilities should be seen in civilian settings in a sci-fi universe, but it has to make sense in that setting. In most of the examples Ace Ratcliff provides there are excellent in-universe reasons for not having a wheelchair confined character show up (not least of all because of the presumed medical advances msh mentioned in this topic).

Is your Correos box a regular PO BOX? I tried getting shipped things to a Correos P.O. Box with Amazon and they often sent by SEUR or similar and they were unable to ship it to a Correos PO Box and requested manual pickup.

>There are enough people that use Vim to just write prose.

One of vim's main features is enabling users to navigate by row/vertically while traversing the same column. If someone uses non-monospace fonts then columns won't be aligned and that sort of move makes traversing text an illogical and unintelligible endeavour.

Thus defeating the whole point of using vim.

> can the behaviour of the following bit of C code depend

> on a modern computer, a pointer dereference could very lead to the execution of Python code.

So the BEHAVIOR of the C code does not change. The dereference of the pointer triggers a memory page load, and if that load is successful, a numeric value is returned and added to the array. If the load fails, you will have the undefined result of accessing uninitialized memory.

In both cases, the behaviour of the code remains squarely within the C standard - with the actual result of the computation contingent on various external factors.
Hmm, try reading some other comments in this thread, should make things more clear.

> but basically you're saying all the monospaced fonts out there used by default in a ton of code editors are there for no reason.

That assertion only makes sense if you assume that indentation or even indentation style have no relevance in software development, and thus there is no reason to consider those basic requirements in any activity related to coding.

Principles of Platform Design
SAT solvers are used by DNF and Zypper (respectively Fedora's and OpenSUSE's package managers).
All structural elements have geometrical flaws, and in concrete structures tolerances are measured in centimetets/inches. Alignment issues may result in problems if they are not addressed in design time (i.e. buckling) but that sort of scenario is very basic. Even european construction standards directly address geometrical flaws. They may look ugly but they're not exactly a problem.

Breaking a build, however, is a major problem.

China has been ruled autocratically for thousands of years. There's nothing to "normalize." It is normal.

We have pretty substantial empirical evidence on the outcomes of US- and Silicon Valley-backed regime change operations in the modern world. They don't work out too well. One could argue that trying to plunge China into civil war is the real unethical behavior here.

VCS diffs are broken by design (in a sense of this subthread). Remove a single “if” around a block of code, reindent it, and now you got all lines changed. I wish VCS had special modes for source code that would compare lextoken-wise and show only what actually changed, leaving formatting to personal tastes. Yeah, no more style wars: tab/space, space/newline/none, trailing comma – all become irrelevant. Sigh.

Edit: a worst nightmare is a diff that removed “if” and also fixed a mistype in one of 20 reindented lines.

> Meaningless on its own.

That's the crux. What we're saying is that, of these set of ratios, there exists one whose infinite decimal representation contains our intended data. Yes we'd be limited to Planck length resolution, but the idea is that we would determine such a ratio and construct the notch and bar in such a way that it yields the decimal sequence desired; the # of particular ratios is not relevant.

I wouldn't be surprised if it can be proven this can't be done, but then that would be proper question to ask.

Not much to write up. This was on Arch, I just installed GNOME (on Nix now, so this is from memory):

sudo pacman -S gnome
sudo systemctl enable gdm
sudo systemctl start gdm

GNOME Wayland is the default session. Log in, press the super key top open Settings, go to Display and set scaling to 200% on the 4k screen. After that, everything worked fine. Since I use the non-4k screen vertically, I had to rotate the second screen in the settings.

The last time I used Fedora it worked without extra work (besides setting scaling to 200% in the Display settings).

Things only started working well with GNOME 2.26 and very well with 2.28.

In any case, you have to make sure that you are using Wayland, support for multi-DPI screens on X.org has been terrible for me. Even a single 4k screen is not very consistent in X.org (e.g. the mouse cursor sometimes becomes tiny when moving between windows).

Wonderful.

1. Do you plan an open source licence for any of the underlying code?

2. Is the construction parametric or is it based on a large catalogue of the various polyhedra and associated constructions?

3. Any plans to allow stacking of operations? First thing I tried was to apply multiple truncates but it's only a toggle switch. But then your code knows when an operation results in another named polyhedra so I'm guessing you might be using a catalogue of relationships rather than geometrically truncating a mesh representation.

4. This is crying out for a WebVR mode...

> Contrary to ableist opinion, a utopia is not a world where disability is a problem that’s been solved

Both wheelchairs and wheelchair accessible features are technological solutions to particular disabilities, so using this line to demand that SciFi should be frozen in a late 20th to early 21st century state of technological state of approach to disability—retaining both wheelchairs and accommodations for them—but a more perfect compliance with current aspirational norms with regard to deployment of that technology seems fantastically clueless.

Despite the denial, the piece is explicitly looking for a utopia where disability like his is solved, and solved in the exact way that current laws aim to solve it for the near term.
Even that isn't unique. The US has the concept of American exceptionalism. Everyone is the protagonist of their own story.
Those shells are temporary; They talk about endospore forming bacteria. They are very hardy and "dormant", but can reactivate given the right conditions. Bacillus cereus for example can survive rice cooking in the spore form, then reactivate and poison you if you leave the cooked rice out of the fridge long enough.
Regarding them exiting, I don't really see what's circular about that if they simply changed their minds about how they perceive the morality of censored results inside if China. It just means they have a line, and redrew it, perhaps depending on new considerations or a new moral perspective. Dunno.
