LOL fuck that company.
Here’s a picture with more samples:

https://s.tonsky.me/imgs/font_size.png

There’s nothing to hide: some fonts’ height adds up to font-size, some don’t. Because it’s not a rule, you can’t rely on it, so it doesn’t change a narrative.

Fira Code is one of the fonts that don’t add up, though. 31.19 != 32, no matter how hard you massage it.

P.S. for other examples, I also chose the extreme examples to better illustrate the point. But I only chose relatively well-known fonts, so it’s not all random or manipulated.
I"m not sure I understand your question; NATS streaming server (built on top of NATS) supports persistence to disk, a raft group, a SQL table, etc. and it appears the various storage implementations have mechanisms [0] to delete or compress old data.

That being said, I don't think this is what differentiates the two systems, the guarantees they do/don't make are likely what will make the decision for your project.

> entirely unrestricted free speech isn't the infalable utopia that the US is conditioned to believe

It wouldn't be a utopia, it would just be better than the alternative, like most liberties. Utopianism is a vision that is associated with a lack of freedom and collectivism (large scale collectivism necessarily entails curtailed freedom), not with enhanced liberty.

> I'm pro free speech, but believe it should have limits in a civilized society

To be civilised implies two things, primarily:

- greater learning
- better manners

That you can learn more where information is unrestricted should need no explanation.

As to manners, what better sign of good manners and civility can there be when you may say whatever you like without fear of punishment and yet you remain civil?

Hence, a more civilised society has less limits on what you can say and imbues its citizens with greater responsibility to practise that speech well.

The right answer probably would have been to fork and just do her own thing under a different name. That's certainly happened more than a few times in the past, and sometimes the new one ends up being renamed to the old project name once it's clear that's the way forward.

Cleaner, less drama, and you don't break the trust of your former team.

I think it's more to maintain pressure in the tank, in cases where the remaining fuel doesn't vaporize sufficiently on its own (autogenous pressurization). Otherwise, I guess atmospheric pressure or compressive force from the engines/payload could crush the tank. In the case of Starship, the fuel is moved by turbo pumps, which are integrated with the engine, and are powered by burning some of the fuel (there's a diagram of this at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Raptor).

Adding that is potentially a source breaking change. Admittedly an easy enough one to address, and they are more willing to make such changes in CoreFx, then they historically were, so it is not impossible that they could decide to do it.

For an example of this being a breaking change. Let's say that B is some other type implicitly convertable to A.

The following two method overloads exists:

void Method(A a, ValueTuple<int,int> vt);
void Method(B b, Tuple<int, int> t);

Right now `Method(SomeB, (4,5))` compiles fine, but if your proposed conversions were added, it would suddenly yield `CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties:...`.
Can you provide more information regarding a system that can log these types of breaches (and all other activity, as required) and that would be deemed "safe" and reliable post-breach? i.e.: A system that can provide logging and that can *assert* that all logs, even in the event of a breach, are asserted CIA?
The idea of a co-op is interesting. Do you have any examples?
Or when it's only 5x better, they quietly continue tinkering around, and only when it's 10x better do they announce their results and try to get funding.

The Ubiquiti controller is not needed for general operation, unless you're using a guest hotspot. Otherwise if it's offline you just lose ability to do configuration and it's data/stats logging.

So I think we're all aware that plasma can be made in a microwave, could someone ELI5 what the new information is here? Is it that the plasma can be used for applications similar to a lab setting?
You can square it with some basic philosophy. Hume's Guillotine - you can't derive an ought statement from is statements alone. Munchhausen Trilemma - you can only answer "why" with circular reasoning, infinite regress, or axioms - axioms being the only reasonable option of the three.

Throw in some other logic, and you end up with the conclusion that the world can still be logical, but that many normative conclusions (which is what the world runs on) depend on moral axioms that differ from person to person.

So there's a distinction between people that reason correctly from their moral axioms, and people who don't. And among the ones who don't, there's a distinction between those that just make a mistake, and the ones that are deliberately presenting their arguments in bad faith. But even the latter have their own internal conclusions that are honest attempts at rational derivations from their internal values.

WPF is quite alive. I had a pretty big audio processing project using WPF a while back, and when I migrated the codebase from .NET Framework to .NET Core 3.1 (and now .NET 5), there were surprisingly noticeable responsiveness improvements. I think they also have some more improvements planned for .NET 6 as well.

Self plug: A while back, I split off my own WPF MVVM framework from that larger project. It's designed for building simple touch-style interfaces, like you would see on a phone/tablet: https://tinyurl.com/upbeatui

> They found, with animal studies, that suppressing the gene USAG-1 by using its antibody can efficiently lead to tooth growth.

And we're sure that suppressing USAG-1 (uterine sensitization associated gene-1) is safe?

Since this has "uterine sensitization" in it, it seems like it may affect more than teeth!

Just from a quick glance, this says its involved in pregnancy.

> Given the remarkably tight restriction of its expression, USAG-1 may be involved in the onset of endometrial receptivity for implantation/sensitization for the decidual cell reaction.

You didn't understand what I said. I have an amateur extra license, and do a lot of volunteer work proselytizing for ham radio, working at field days, etc. For most people, there is a semantic payload with "radio" which conveys "communication" versus "radar" which conveys "tracking" (I imagine any semantic vector map would demonstrate this is true). The distinction is relevant, especially in the context of "your phone manufacturer is using this to improve its ability to track you in realtime". The UWB which newer iPhones use is not used for communication, because these frequencies are not suitable for that (yet?) in the environment. UWB is used for localization. Maybe there is some marketing material claiming that they're working on using it for "communication" but not anything like the conventional radio(s) the phone uses for communication.
There's no free lunch. Every significant enhancement comes with a corresponding disadvantage. Otherwise millions of years of evolution would have produced something better already.

For example, partial genetic immunity to malaria carries an increased risk of syckle cell anemia. Most traits are like that to an extent.
I don’t think the paper is claiming to be breaking new ground in microwave plasma. Seems like the point is more to nail things down to enable people to do cool plasma research without expensive kit

From the abstract:

They all do though. And if they don't, they're all at risk to. The best you can do is make decisions that reduce dependence on them for when they fuck up. That's why I went with the edge router line to begin with. I've already planned for this situation.
It's not that it's not believable, it's that the it's equally believable that a number of other vested parties could be doing it plausibly. You yourself just argued how low the barrier-to-entry for a campaign like this is.

In addition to Amazon itself, what if it's:

1. A huge investor in Amazon (like some hedge fund) who is doing it on amazon's behalf
2. A media outlet who wanted a scoop, so they manufactured one
3. A random 4chan troll looking for giggles
4. A foreign entity with some vested in sowing chaos into the discussion
5. A competitor of Amazon making them look bad through this easily debunked fake

I really can't believe your comment contains both of these quotes:
"What's not believable about that?" and "People are emotional enough on issues that they never vet a source or fact check something that validates their own world view already"

My theory is fractional scaling was hard and integer was easy, so they went the easy way.

You can still just invoke csc.exe, no project file required - I'm not sure what you are getting at? But it's probably going to be easier to just dotnet new console and get the project file for free. They tried migrating away from csproj but there is just too much ecosystem around it. The XML sounds bad, but in reality they added file globbing and other things to make it so you rarely even have to change it. That and to be honest it just works and is quite readable even though it's the "evil" XML.
Aruba doesn't require a cloud controller, that's just the "Instant On" version.
I used to run Aruba Instant (not the "instant on", no controller), but gave those APs to a friend and now run an Aruba 7005 controller with 2x303H and a 324.

Support/Licensing costs are totally worth it for having trouble-free WiFi with no cloud dependencies (context: using and supported UniFi in various roles since the first UAP came out, and I think was free for UWC attendees, though I could be confusing that with their first camera), but am network nerd that's comfortable with enterprise wifi.
And good integration with conan. Dependency management is nice. Vcpkg is getting there too.
This, plus the advertising thing, plus their weak firewall & wan feature set means they've lost me as both a customer and an advocate.

> constant scrutiny for not being secure enough.

Do you have a source for this? I follow OpenBSD quite closely and this is news to me..
I guess the concern here is if your VPN was provided by Ubiquiti then you might have an issue.

My approach has been an isolated (read basically no internet) LAN, bridged by a small PC running hardened and locked down Linux. There's no egress from the LAN. VPN access to this LAN goes via the PC under my control, which itself has access to the wider internet via its second interface.

This approach is nice as I don't have to trust any router vendor or proprietary software vendor to be competent, by relying on their equipment to control internet access for devices. Although I recognise this is probably inconvenient for users, none of this is really too impractical - a bit of adverse publicity for cloud and "internet connected", and I could see properly firewalled, egress blocked networks taking off...

(I am more concerned about egress than ingress, because it's the biggest gap most people forget about, and most people just rely on NAT to stop ingress, forgetting any device can phone home anywhere, and they're not monitoring... I don't even allow DNS on that network. IoT that can't handle this just doesn't get in the door)

As you correctly mentioned, this is a complex issue. For example, there is no way for most users to differentiate between what could be useful and what is unnecessary violation, what privacy breach is severe and what is not.
Until we have a practical solution to these problems, I won’t trust those companies to play ethical and only use my data in good harmless ways.
As for Google, it’s worth keeping in mind that we are talking about a company that intentionally misleads users in occasions to collect their data.
Which is why it's fine to challenge the comment. The commenter is implying a lot considering he doesn't have any inside knowledge of Adobe Sign.

And even if you look at public data--esignatures being relatively new, Covid moving more things to digital, DocuSign's share price up 5x since their 2018 IPO, Dropbox acquiring HelloSign for $230M, Adobe's own share price up 15x in the last 10 years--there's not much to indicate that Adobe Sign is a legacy app that could just survive in maintenance mode.

There's also a tendency for people to underestimate the size and complexity of applications because they only use a fraction of the features.
