> Upper altitudinal limits of wild mammals in the Himalayas and Andes are generally thought to fall in the range 5200-5800 m above sea level. Such limits are surely dictated by food availability in addition to physiological capacities for tolerating hypoxia and extreme cold.

How can you be sure your cleanups worked?

Use a protocol that can cope with a disconnect well. Write to a temporary file which either you then rename, or the OS discards if there was a failure. Trying to “clean up” manually can break things further since you don’t and can’t account for all possible reasons for a failure.

A simple example: your hard drive is failing, and performing any kinds of cleanups on it will get your program stuck even further. Also, does it really matter too much for your stated purpose if you get an ENOSPC, an EPERM, or an EIO?

Why did I make it?
There are so many times I wish to do a quick fun poll in my family group or work groups, looking for the crucial answers to questions like:
“Dress Code? - Suit with shorts or PJs”
“Raise of hands. How many are joining me in the 2 am meeting” "Pineapple on Pizza - Yeyy or Nay"
"Orange or Black"

All the existing poll solutions were pretty tacky! I decided to give it a go myself and built ‘Polls for WhatsApp'. My aim was to keep it dead simple without any fuss. Instead of me explaining it all out, here is a quick poll for Polls made using Polls.

From what I read, the #1 thing is that if you eat "paleo" food, then cooking it nearly doubles the net caloric intake. That's huge!

For "modern" foods that have undergone thousands of years of selection to improve palatability, the difference is not so big, but still, a common dieting technique is to eat more uncooked food, because it reduces the effective calorie intake.
On the other hand, a new firmware for my recent Brother printer added a bunch of cloud-based features that are pretty cool (scan to dropbox, etc). When done well, this sort of thing is great.

Get the golden, it will be easier to socialize and easier to train than most other breeds for first timers. You probably know this but dogs are not kids, babies, toys, they need clear boundaries and structure and exercise. If you can't do all 3 on your own, don't get one.

The harder part is decide who is the sole owner of the dog. A bad breakup can cause a lot of issues later with who is responsible for the dog. Figure this out up front to save a lot of headache later. One of you is the owner, both of you can also be a caregiver and pay for expenses. Co-owner is a big no no if anything does go wrong.
Leaf arts used to be a common thing in many parts of India. As kids we used to keep fresh leaves in between pages in a notebook and keep it for weeks. aA the end, you are only left with the veins. Peepal leaves were used for its sturdiness.

Some beautiful craft works from such leaves.

uMatrix has been the first app where I can exactly see what domains are being used and over a period build a whitelist that basically works seamlessly while blocking the analytics stuff. I'm just hoping browser internal security changes in the future don't render it broken.
1) Take your dog to dog school. Take him, not leave him in doggy day care. Your dog will learn to socialise at a young age (very important) and you will learn how to handle and train your dog.

2) Zak George On YouTube has great content for beginners

3) Frequent and short training sessions are better than infrequent and long ones

4) Enjoy it. Millions of people have dogs, it’s not extremely difficult to do. If you have the time to give your dog affection, exercise and mental stimulation you will be an excellent dog owner.

5) Seriously. Dog school.
If Apple makes other company to be their sole provider, isn't that effectively a way of tax avoidance?
For example in a smaller scale, if you hire a company that needs to do a project for you under your direction, you have to pay that company as if they were your own employees. In the UK this is called "IR35". Seems like for all intents and purposes TSMC is an Apple Fab?
IMO the genius of uMatrix was that Raymond realized that an in-browser requests firewall should have two dimensions, instead of one: (1) the (sub-)domains that the requests pointed at, and (2) the type of request (i.e. cookie, image, XHR, etc).

Now, obviously you could always write an ABP compatible filter that could block any combination of these two, but that's hard. What uMatrix did is present the underlying complexity in a way that's easy to intuit for a power user, giving you point-and-click request filtering power over both domains simultaneously.

For that reason, I'm skeptical that uMatrix can be replaced with a traditional blocker, not even one with an advanced mode like uBo, because it simply doesn't allow the specificity that a two-dimensional model like uMatrix did. That makes uMatrix's being archived incredibly tragic and a great loss for the web. I hope someone as trustworthy and competent as Raymond will pick it up in the future, and I thank him for all his work on it up to this point.

No, it's why dissecting a human looking for its general intelligence is a waste of time. You won't find an atom of the stuff. The "person" is a process running on the hardware, not the hardware itself. Searle's position is only different from Descartes' dualism in vocabulary.

I would say make sure to look into the needs of the exact breed you intend to adopt and make sure that fits with your lifestyle. For example some dogs needs 1+ hours solid exercise everyday or they get very destructive in your house.
Dream Vendor "Canna_Bars" Sentenced to Prison
Both this book and the youtube channel has been very helpful for us: https://www.dogtrainingrevolution.com/

I like how it focuses on positive training and how it explains important concepts in detail.

The author has also launched a series where he shows how he’s training a puppy from 8 weeks into adulthood: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mIot0mHLemQ

Here is another channel with helpful tips, this particular video has been very useful to me: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht8ncX4Kq7M

It shows a sensible and organised approach to toys; it helped me plan what toys to get and how to explain the rules of play.

Many principles of training neural networks apply to dogs, so maybe take up on TensorFlow.
I got a dog last year, a lab. To start with, you want one with a temperament that suits you. My dog is very mellow, no aggression at all. Make sure you get to see the puppy with its mother. That will also tell you if the seller is legit.

You have to have time to train it. Both for the practical stuff like not pooping inside, but also behaviour so the dog does what you want.

Try some different foods, toys and leads. It's interesting how one variety works while the others don't. Eg I got a front leader for the leash and she's much easier to walk. Similar with food, some things she likes for whatever reason.

I also found that dog manuals are like baby manuals. Lots of unsubstantiated advice. Who knows whether anyone has tested it. All you can do is think whether it seems likely that there's been enough observations that someone with no statistical knowledge would get the right conclusions anyway.
> you have to carefully unroll the leaves by hand

Don't do that. I assume that the curl problem can be solved processing the leaves into two (non-reactive) metallic mesh pieces or two glass panes joined together with a few clothes pegs. Or use pre-dried pressed leaves that are more rigid.

Pros: The procedure is faster than the 'macerate it in water for weeks' system plus saving bleaching final step, but (cons) 1) the results are not so good as in the classic procedure (lots of veins vanished in the Hedera leaves for example, and Platanus leaves are still imperfect) 2) you can not use delicate leaves (it seems that the fresh Ulmus, Urtica and Rosa leaves disappeared totally in the procedure but water still could process those), and 3) is more dangerous.

Is a nice explorative project, but is just at the middle of the road at this moment. Can be improved
On the other end of the scale, we have base-1, e.g. scratching a row of 1's on a surface as a tally.

I guess base-0 can't really exist, since 0⁰ is undefined.
Some people think TSMC is part of Taiwan's strategy to stop China invading.

After all, TSMC helps make Taiwan one of America's valued trading partners, even if America doesn't officially acknowledge Taiwanese sovereignty.

So long as a Chinese invasion will mean American companies lose access to TSMC and Chinese companies gain it, they hope this provides them the same protection Kuwait and Saudi Arabia enjoy. Or at least, if not certain protection then a high enough chance of protection to discourage an invasion.

As the UK does not have an expansionist neighbour disputing their sovereignty, ARM is not a strategic asset in the same way.

In pre-social media proliferation ideas wouldn't move as fast, so you could have people who are worried and take care of things and a tolerable number of free riders can do their thing, so it wouldn't lead to a disaster. In the occasions where the worries were unsubstantiated the free riders can safely be the mavericks who didn't listen to the conventional wisdom and won.

The problem today is, I believe, ideas can travel faster than they can be challenged so we risk to have a maverick that is terribly wrong, go mainstream without being challenged and make all of us loose it all.

We can no longer have a stable equilibrium of conflicting ideas, everything would spontaneously go to one directions or another all the way, winner takse it all style.

That is actually a quite hostile move for OSS, which has become common lately.

Training and socialization are top priorities. It seems obvious but, as I've met unruly dogs, it must not be that obvious to all. Short of those two things, look for videos, forums and communities in general that are specifically for your dog type. Learn about the breed-specific temperment.

And something else to think about: consider getting two of [insert pet]. Sure, you can bring your only dog to the dog park, take it on a walk in the morning and play with it at night, but what about the rest of the time, sitting alone either in the yard or in the house? Dogs get separation anxiety and need a lot of engagement. A normal house is essentially a dog-sized cage, akin to that of a bird. Providing a companion can be life-changing for your pet.

They were kinda good, but they were too slow! however I am thankful for those first few videos, they were quite helpful if providing a bird view of programming world.

I tried using uMatrix a few times and always ended-up disabling it. It was too disruptive and breaking too many things compared to uBlock Origin.

White & black skin are, practically, inherent qualities that a person can't really do much about.

Look great. I really want an alternative to unity to do ECS 2d mobile games. It's not super complicated tech (although takes time to implement for sure in a game engine), but at the moment there's not really any alternatives, so any under development is awesome!
Additionally, within the scope of any one field or sub-field, you get a nice constant-factor boost by exploiting capital/lowercase, italics, bold-face, "chalkboard" font, etc. and usually that suffices. Anyone who has taken a linear algebra course instantly recognizes what I mean by "Solve Ax = b" in the appropriate context. And if I say "Solve Qx = b" you have even more information, etc.
Without any way to build its own designs ARM isn't particularly valuable to UK.gov

Thanks. That's rather what I'd expect, but I was surprised at hardware being announced with (some version of) the vector extension and wondered what support there would be for it. Is it reasonable to ask what you might expect in terms of changes if you started playing with an initial implementation, or is it still wide open? (Assuming the right Jim!)

Are you familiar with the story about uBlock and uBlock Origin? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#History

gorhill stopped doing uBlock and passed it to others, who subsequently took it in a direction he didn’t like, so that he resumed maintenance under the name uBlock Origin (since the name “uBlock” had been transferred).

So this time when he stops maintaining a project, he’s avoiding the same thing happening.
I sincerely disagree.

Ever since I had kids, being forced to work for a living has been a massive weight on my life. Inherited wealth would be a great help.

Luckily, the fact that I don’t expect to inherit much of anything gets me out of the moral implications of wishing anyone’s death (which is actually the second biggest worry, at the back of my mind).
I did the same thing twice, then actually spent ten minutes reading the wiki. It's very simple to use, and I doubt a new UI could perform the same functions any easier.

Thank you Gorhill. For such great resources. Your extensions are the only reason I use FF on mobile and desktop.

I believe you no longer have to register your ios device - but it is a dark pattern. On the screen to enter your apple id, you don't have a "skip" choice, you have to say "don't have one" and I believe then you can skip setting up an apple id.

You can use it like a phone at that point - you can send text messages and make calls, but I don't believe you can install any apps.

That said - you must go online - turn on cellular data or wifi before you can use the phone, it must be "activated". And apple phones home a lot.
A code point is just a number. (Well, a number below 1.1 million.)

The simplest way to turn two bytes into a code point is to output the same number.

But some code points are invalid, so you have to skip them. The simplest way is to split your 64k into two ranges. For example numbers 0-50k can get code points 1k-51k, and numbers 50k-64k can get code points 70k-84k.

Base65536 wants to avoid code points that are likely to misbehave, so it uses about ten different ranges of code points, carefully selected to avoid problems (and to look visually cohesive).
