It depends what you are on time for.

I occasionally miss a train or a flight and that is deliberate because I optimise for minimal unproductive time waiting. The train/plane will leave without me if I am not there.

However if people are persistently late to multi-attendee meetings it increases total wait time over all the attendees which is not optimal for the group.

The more people are present and the less possible it is to start without them, the more wait time is being introduced by any person's lateness. Of course, there are far too many meetings with far too many people but that is a separate problem.

If someone just needs to chat with me at some point online or at my desk if in the office, we will usually agree a vague time slot as that is a 2 sided problem only and I can work on other things until they arrive. If they ask me to meet in a particular place where I cannot work while in a wait-state, I expect them to be on time.
Yes, and the reality often have a way of getting back at you sooner or later. Recreate bugs that were solved years ago in the original code and suddenly you end up with something that looks just as complicated as the original.

Is CJK support any special compared to "Western" font rendering except that the font files are much bigger?

In my experience, it gets interesting with languages like Arabic which need special case handling for characters at the start and end of words, but those conversions can be applied before handing the UTF-8 string down to rendering. Oh, and the right-to-left rendering.

We have support for CJK and Arabic script in our game's text rendering, CJK was straightforward (only the massive rasterized font bitmaps are a problem), while Arabic was a lot more effort.

Other simple text rendering solutions also don't seem to have much of a problem with CJK (e.g. stb_truetype + fontstash):

Lockdowns are very convenient for governments because they block protests. Now is the perfect time to pass all the inconvenient laws, because even if people march out on the streets, you can easily arrest them. And other, non-protesting part of the country will cheer you for it. At least until the other part wants to protest too and realizes it affects them as well.

Congrats on launching!

I'm curious why you decided to focus on native desktop apps before mobile apps. For me, a note taking system is a non-starter without a solid (Android) mobile app, as much of the value comes from quickly jotting down thoughts/ideas as they come to me, which is often when I'm not in front of a computer.
Perfect thanks. I'll go with Laravel. I still have a question about how Vue does on mobile, but a quick search for Vue.js made it clear how easy it is.
Let’s also not forget that it began there in the first place, and there is a serious probability that this particular disease could have been completely avoided in humans.

People have been saying, for years, that the ‘wet markets’ of exotic animals are breeding grounds for inter-species diseases. The Chinese government did not listen to these complaints for many reasons, including the fact that ‘medicinal remedies’ made from exotic animals are a status symbol for upper-class Chinese.
Back in school (around 2006) I asked the PR department of German BP for a small sample of crude oil, that I need for my final assignment. A few weeks later I've got large glass bottle (I think maybe over a liter) of crude oil. The package needed the signature of my mom because it was a dangerous goods transport. I think the shipment was for BP more expensive than the Russian oil itself...

Can't believe nobody here mentioned that his translation is a funny blunder. When you type "валентина сынах" into Google Translate you in fact get "Valentine Sons" but it's a mistake. There's actually a helpful tip showing the correct translation from Ukrainian of the person's name "Valentina Synakh" (Synah, to be accurate). Making a Russian connection out of this is a bit far fetched... But I guess that was the point.
At least umlauts also have their unique UNICODE code points and font glyphs, and AFAIK that's true for all European languages at least, and can be handled without special support down in the rendering engine as long as the input string has been "preprocessed" accordingly.
what i meant is setting the lcd display that has the native resolution at more then 1080 to 1080 resolution and comparing it to a native 1080 display would usually would not give the same results, as running the display at lower resolution (not scaling) would usually give you blur.

also fractional scaling works ok'ish in linux' but it's "fake" actually in that it uses xrandr to create a 2x resolution and show you scaling of that. and it uses more resources especialy with external monitors with different dpis.
Well there’s also textualism.

"I have not released a commercial product"

Good luck, if you do. I am serious. I also think the waste of the millions of layers of the web to the hardware disturbing, but it is the best compromise I see.

"but you're not getting anywhere close to the full capacity of a user's hardware. "

Certainly not. So no, doing a graphical bombastic AAA game is not possible, but the vast majority of games is today quite doable on the web.

"a single-threaded host environment"

And fortunately today this is not true anymore. With web workers and various other approaches, you can have costly calculations in the background, but sure, this is still not the same as real multi-threading.
> Is CJK support any special compared to "Western" font rendering except that the font files are much bigger?

I'm mostly thinking about the composing. For example, the character '한' is composed with 'ㅎ', 'ㅏ', 'ㄴ'.

There are multiple unicode representations for each character, which means there's a one code point '한' representation and it's also allowed to have a 'ㅎ+ㅏ+ㄴ' representation. If the program is just naively searching through the code points the font is supporting, 'ㅎ+ㅏ+ㄴ' won't be rendered properly. (In the real world, most non-Korean companies that implement custom text rendering, even big ones like Adobe get this wrong.)
Tortoise: But we must be careful in combining sentences. For instance you’d grant that “Politicians lie” is true, wouldn’t you?

Achilles: Who could deny it?

Tortoise: Good. Likewise, “Cast-iron sinks” is a valid utterance, isn’t it?

Achilles: Indubitably.

Tortoise: Then, putting them together, we get “Politicians lie in cast iron sinks”. Now that’s not the case, is it?

Machine learning is teaching us the secret to teaching (2013)
Not OP. Some people do have really terrible hardware. It would be good IMO if the software had an input quality indication. Or a test mode that does a loop test, play on speaker at end A, listen on mic A, play back mic A on speaker B, listen on mic B, analyse profile and reverse the test - "you may experience poor sound as B's microphone has a bad frequency profile" or something.

The other thing that would be nice is if Win10 hadn't hidden the microphone level/gain controls.

I believe there is a reference to this law in the movie “No Country for Old Men”.

The movie was set in 1980. In the famous coin toss scene Anton Chigurh explicitly states that the date on the quarter is 1958 and that it had been traveling for 22 years. That means it was a silver coin. The US Coin Act of 1965 changed the make up of coins from 90% silver to cladded nickel and zinc. The old silver coins very quickly disappeared from circulation. Any remaining ones were snatched up especially when the price of silver skyrocketed when the Hunt Brothers in Texas tried to corner the silver market in 1980, right in the time period when the movie was set.

So basically Chigurh had no business having a 1958 silver quarter in his pocket.

I think Cormac McCarthy was implicitly showing Chigurh was a dispassionate force of evil driving out the good.

Sweden is slithering into a full blown catastrophy, killing over 1'300 mostly elderly people with their laissez-fair approach [1].

As of the latest WHO status report they count 1'540 dead as per yesterday[2].

Given, that they country only 14385 confirmed cases this indicates that there is a massive lack in testing.

Looking at experiences from other countries the numbers are bound to explode in the next few days.

I understand, given the current yearning for wishful thinking that people point to Sweden as a role model for managing the crisis.

The grim reality, however, looks very different and Sweden is on the best way to one of the greatest corona catastrophies in Europe.

So much for Sweden having it under control.

Having used these systems in theatres/live events while I was at Uni I fully agree. These systems are amazing.

The reason is very similar to landlines. A dedicated board in each station that shares three copper lines with every other station. In this scenario you cannot beat analogue.

The ease of setup is also fantastic. All you need is some XLR cables. At some point on the line you need a power supply, which usually acts as a signal splitter so you can have lines going in different directions. Then just plug everything together.

I don't think the claim was "All eastern governments did well", but more like "Most governments that did well, especially the ones vying for international clout, were eastern". Australia and New Zealand have never been considered particularly influential or leaders on the western stage. Although other westerners like us, we are not especially influential. The influence we have sought to exert on the developing world has been limited to South East Asia and the Pacific Islands, were states are generally doing well so the adequate response of ANZ is merely likely to get them to say "look, we're not so different" rather than "oh we respect you". So it seems barely relevant.
