I guess this poses the question: Is there a clear boundary between text and icons? And in which cases should icons be handled like characters?

Plain symbols within text clearly belong in a font. Logos, on the other hand, are images, not characters. Icon fonts, which are somewhere in between, became popular for webdesign but seem to be falling out of favor again. What is the current "best practice" here?

It's not free, because every Joule of solar energy has a cost, because solar panels are not free and have a finite lifetime.

It's a sacrfice but of something we can easily sacrifice, excess of solar energy we have no means to store but we still need to produce if we want to go 100% renewables.
The author missed to mention one of my favorite tricks to change back in to the last visited directory:

cd -

Hint: Change into directory called '-' can be done by

cd ./-

I also use the mkcd alias / function:

mkcd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd !$; }

This allows creating multiple dirs and cd into the first one.

mkcd test1 test2 test3
This is more useful than some other recent additions, I'd say. It's somewhat surprising that this hasn't been included before, but maybe that's because this was standardized well before Unicode came to be.
Negative priced power is a problem for the people who own the solar panels. They want to make a return on their investment. If the business case improves, renewable capacity will build out faster.

> They're still a danger to society.

That's a different argument. The OP said it he'd like muderers to have a fate similar to their victims, basically as revenge. When executing someone for this reason, their guilt clearly does matter - someone who enjoys killing is far worse than someone with a medical condition. Whether their death is 'practical' is a different matter.

Okay this is an interesting article and an interesting subject. But, it looks a lot like fear-mongering. I feel strongly about this because I had two procedures done under local for fear of exactly this situation (coming up but being sedated) and both experiences where tough.

> Founded in 2007, it has now collected more than 340 reports

So 24 self-reported cases a year in all of N America. There are 48 million in patient surgeries performed PA in USA so V conservative estimate is 5*10^-7 chance.

Later, on follow up, my doctor explained to me why they don't worry about patients coming up. It's because this traumatic experience the patient is describing, if they were awake and experience trauma, would result in a raised heart-rate and blood-pressure. The link between trauma and those physical responses is one to one.

If and when patients begin to get a raised heart or raised blood pressure you better believe they're getting a much higher dose and/or a change of anaesthetic.

> One of the largest and most thorough investigations was the fifth National Audit Project carried out by British and Irish anaesthetists’ associations, in which every public hospital in the UK and Ireland had to report any incidents of awareness for a year. The results, published in 2014, found that the overall prevalence was just 1 in 19,000 patients undergoing anaesthesia.

This is comparing apples with elephants. 'incident of awareness' is nothing like the idea of being fully awake and compos during a surgery.

>but many people may feel unable or unwilling to come forward, and would instead prefer to just put the experience behind them.

Speculation
Um, academics aren't allowed to assemble bombs and then try and sneak them onto planes with the excuse that it's not a human trial. That'd be absurd.

It's easy to think of studies that don't involve humans so that statement is just wilful obfuscation. Physics, chemistry, heck lots of biology, and of course computer science are primarily made of studies on objects rather than people. Of those that are done on people they are almost always done on people who know they are the subject of an experiment. Very few studies are like this one.

Bug bounties are a different beast. Here we are talking about a bunch of guys who deliberately put stuff into your next kernel release because they come from an important university, or whatever other reason. One of the reviewers in the thread admitted that they need to pay more attention to code reviews. That sounds to me like a good first step towards solving this issue. Is that enough, though? It's an unsolvable problem, but is the current solution enough?

No, the power is precisely equal to the value of being able to transact on the network to all participants, as determined in an auction roughly every ten minutes (in addition to block rewards for now).

The Vicious Cycles of Self Help
>Hold a monthly lottery of the population, ...

The point you're making is that living in society each day is a ticket in lottery where we could be falsely accused of a crime, falsely convicted, and unjustly punished. That's horrific all around, a death penalty is a factor but not even the biggest. On the contrary, if we need a death penality to make someone like your audience care about that horror of punishing innocent people then perhaps there is a beneficial purpose? Maybe executions make people care about bad things done in their name in the name of justice?

>Police dropped evidence into your pocket? Try them for attempted murder.

Yes, naturally. Some archaic pockets of government do this, sort of! What comes to mind is a specific public officer in my state who is personally responsible by law for breaches of privacy in her office. Consequences like that focus the mind! So much so, in fact, that those consequences come to dominate the public officer's thinking. I don't disagree, but forget 'defund the police'-- you're going to need a lot more police to enforce the modern criminal code at the current level of enforcement if police are threatened with death for misplacing their notes , memories and paperwork.

>At your conviction lottery is held of the population and winner is your executioner.

Again, the result here would be that some people would be assigned an executioner who would show them mercy. This too has analogues in our modern systems. In some parts of the world the victim's family can stop an execution if they feel the victim has been adequately avenged-- not a bad result! In the US context governors-- arguably the people responsible for these killings-- can and frequently do commute sentences out of compassion or lack of clarity about the crime.
Can someone explain the logic behind District Attorney's being elected? I'm not from the US so don't understand the reasoning. Why are certain crimes prosecuted based on decisions of an elected official? That just seems obviously highly manipulatable to me.
So then how will the software convert the X,Y coordinates into text that is read out to a screen reader? I think many of the other comments put it more eloquently than I can.

There's some variation inside the US. Michigan abolished the death penalty for all crimes other than treason in 1847 (It was abolished for treason in 1967, with no one having been executed).
Container size generally impacts startup/deploy times. 500MB container still takes almost a second to copy over gigabit connection, and typically you need to copy it at least twice: from build server to repository and from repository to whereever its going to run.

Doesn't this line of thinking incentivise any form of energy production that is above breakeven at whatever the current return on mining is?

If so, then as the price of bitcoin goes up, increasing the returns to mining, we would expect to see people generating energy for mining in whatever ways they can, with no view to green credentials.

It seems exciting because it could incentivise some beneficial behaviour given current market conditions, but it isn't obvious to me why it isn't just a transient phenomenon.

Separately, aren't batteries still preferable, at least in principle, as a form of managing excess supply, because they do not throw the energy away? If so, then supporting the price of bitcoin on the basis that it provides the social good of allowing us to have expanded energy infrastructure only works until battery technology is sufficiently advanced, at which point the price would crash (to the level supported by whatever other components make bitcoin valuable), correct?

Copy-pasting from my other comment:

> I see it as a currently-necessary annoyance, as the least bad option. The alternatives have greater deficiencies: human invigilators using Zoom etc. don't scale (institution experience); oral exams don't scale (my experience moderating such assessments); no invigilation leads to cheating (by few students but enough to be a real problem, especially for professional qualifications - my direct experience and institution experience); shutting down education until the pandemic's over is unfeasible.

Last year, we tried not monitoring, we tried Zoom invigilation, we tried orals. Lockdown rules prevented us from sending in-person invigilators in one semester (and we couldn't have hired even 10% of what that would take) and the other we invigilated in person like normal. We are spending more than ever before, so there are no savings. All of these methods failed. This year, grudgingly, we have moved to proctoring software.
It obviously qualifies and the guy just quoted the law at you to prove it.

Frankly universities and academics need to be taken to court far more often. Our society routinely turns a blind eye to all sorts of fraudulent and unethical practices inside academia and it has to stop.

Wow, is that software legal to force upon your students? If you tried this in Europe, even with the student explicitly clicking "I consent", you would still be facing pretty serious GDPR penalties because the student had no other option than to accept making their consent invalid.
The difference between a regular and a SMR drive is that the SMR drives have a narrower read head compared to the write head.

This means that when writing data it overwrites neighboring tracks, and hence writing is partially overlapped like shingles.

Apart from that they're more or less the same as normal drives as far as I know, firmware aside. So a single bad bit shouldn't affect more than in a non-SMR drive.
It's weird when something so fundamentally "hi-tech" becomes old news. This reminds me of Blackberry and Nokia when the iPhone arrived where they suddenly had an intense focus on the market share and installed base, a fundamentally backwards-looking view. They wanted to focus there because they knew they'd lost the future but it was weird to see tech companies basically hoping for stasis rather than saying "everyone will use our stuff in the future because it's better" and instead bragging about the current market share they were about to throw away by not adapting to the new reality.

My observation from the UK is that it's extremely polarised.

When I visited Miami for work I couldn't believe how many scantily clad people just walked around and the stories you see in media from coastal liberal areas (fictional and non-fictional) seem just as, if not more, open to sexuality as the UK (who are more prudish than Europe in general).

But in the otherhand there are large areas/groups dominated by conservative religious values who are hyper prudish.
This is for me unrelated and even a little bit minimizing the issue here.

> Plus you can't share UI code between Android and iOS. You still need to build the UI's natively with no code reuse.

Utterly false - Xamarin Forms is totally cross-platform UI; you're probably mistaking it for Xamarin Native, which is used as a target renderer for each platform. Look at this sample project: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms-samples/tree/master...

The .iOS and .Android project folders target each platform respectively, with a single project shared between them that defines UI that is rendered onto each platform. You claim to have experience with using it, but obviously haven't done anything even as simple as a HelloWorld.

In the past, we solved this problem by not having online proctoring, we had exams in front of a board. Maybe if the necessity of such demonstrations is paramount, doing them online is not the correct answer.

It might not go that bad. But I suspect that as medical imaging hardware becomes better, we'll eventually face a crisis point: we'll be forced to re-evaluate most of what we call "character traits" and reclassify them as neurochemistry quirks. This is an important distinction, because as a society, we tend to hold people responsible for their character, but not for bugs in their brain.

We can already see some of this today. Many people that would've been shunned by society in the past as "unstable" and "crazy", can be fixed by giving them lithium. We know not to fault a person for what's just a bug in their hardware. Similarly, many people that today are called "lazy" or "annoying", and blamed for their obviously flawed character, can be instantly fixed by low doses of stimulant medication. This is something most people didn't get a memo on yet.

I find it highly likely that most homicides are also driven by fixable neurochemistry quirks, and that we'll learn to identify and fix them at some point, and we'll be appalled at the ease with which we jumped to killing people for having them.

I am also using Electron. But I didn't come across problems with scrolling. Surely the reason is not Electron, Beekeeper Studio is created with Vue.js, maybe that is origin of this problem. DbGate uses Svelte, which should be much much effective, because of omiting virtual DOM. Formerly DbGate was written in React (which has also virtual DOM as vue), rewriting to Svelte boosted the performance markedly.
axe312ger/SQIP[1] does this effectively in low-quality image loading relying on the before-mentioned fogleman/primitive library.
I think OP's project would be great to add as a new entry to the SQIP demo site [2].

In the thumbnail demo, the LQIP-custom approach (simple resize to low-res jpg thumbail+optimize jpg) approach preserves the more salient features better and has compression on-par-or-better than SQIP with lower processing times. So in my opinion the simple extreme resize+jpgoptim is preferable for thumbnails.

Thumbnails are only small part of LQIP story though and I can imagine RH12503/Triangula having much nicer results for larger images than fogleman/primitive.
OP should consider writing an axe312ger/sqip plugin.
