Yeah, no. Until the standards give us more fonts with better metrics (like a guarantee that a default sans, serif and fixed-width fonts come from the same family), the default fonts will look quite crummy.

I wish there was some font cache that could be shared between all sites, so once you downloaded a font it would be available for all. But I guess due to copyright it will never happen.

That is fair game when most arguments for the opposite are also presented without any evidence.
This exactly. One of the biggest reasons why UTF-32 doesn't make sense IMHO is not only its general overhead but the fact it reiterates on the broken concept of `char` == "glyph". That is never correct on Unicode, no matter the byte size, because so many characters can be spread over multiple codepoints. Iterating over codepoints is the only thing UTF-32 simplifies and it is honestly kinda pointless. That's why it took a while for Rust to implement the `Chars` iterator.
So, much higher estate taxes, and lower taxes on those on the cusp of becoming rich? Sounds good to me.
How is that not stealing ?
It looks like it's systemd-resolve. I just checked on several machines and, when using nslookup to query the recursive nameserver that systemd-resolve is forwarding to, the ai A record does resolve, while when using systemd-resolve itself, or the local instance on 127.0.0.53 configured via /etc/resolv.conf, it returns a failure every time.

I'll have to look into this some more.

Edit: I think I found it! From systemd-resolved.service(8):

· Single-label names are routed to all local interfaces capable of IP
multicasting, using the LLMNR protocol. Lookups for IPv4 addresses
are only sent via LLMNR on IPv4, and lookups for IPv6 addresses are
only sent via LLMNR on IPv6. Lookups for the locally configured
host name and the "_gateway" host name are never routed to LLMNR.

· Multi-label names are routed to all local interfaces that have a
DNS server configured, plus the globally configured DNS server if
there is one. Address lookups from the link-local address range are
never routed to DNS.

So, systemd-resolved.service appears to treat single-label names inherently differently from multi-label names when doing a DNS lookup. (LLMNR is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-Local_Multicast_Name_Reso..., which is ... not exactly DNS.)

Presumably ai is the only name on the Internet concretely impacted by this behavior. :-(
I think it is much needed nowadays

But is being put in a bag such a bad thing. Phd ppl are just as shit as the rest of us.
No, I don't think so.

Firstly, I don't think it's necessary. I'm willing to bet some of the best posts on the site come from people who hadn't read the article.

Secondly, this isn't really a feature, it's at best the germ of an idea of what the core of a feature might be.

What's to stop people from just lying and saying they've read it or intend to but they haven't read it and don't intend to? Is there any way to meaningfully (and probably automatically) detect that behavior?

Is there a punishment for lying and participating without reading first?

What about if someone has a lot of knowledge about what the article is covering, but hadn't read the actual article? Can they still participate in the conversation without running afoul of this system? They should be able to.

What about cases where the comment section has diverged slightly from the topic in the article anyways?

Really, what's the end goal of such a feature and how would you measure if you accomplish it?

I think you'd have to answer all or most of those questions before it could become a feature.
It’s a near-perfect representation of the continents and oceans as they exist on our spherical planet, all laid out on a two-dimensional surface.

This is a bullshit statement. You cannot project the surface of the earth onto a flat plane without distortion. AuthaGraph favors the preservation of size at the cost of extreme distortion of shape.
That is not one of the leading theories, no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation...

Women rape men fairly rarely, and even a woman who raped thousands of men generally cannot have more than a dozen offspring as a result. By contrast, one in every 200 men today has Genghis Khan's Y chromosome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_from_Genghis_Khan

This should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: the fact that rape can produce offspring does not make rape morally commendable or tolerable.

It's true that the stubborn existence of gay people poses challenges to any kind of simple ev-psych explanation of human sexuality, and it's tempting to conclude that although sexual behavior in sheep and partridges is instinctual, sexual behavior in humans is purely culturally constructed, because humans are rational beings not controlled by instinct, and this is why some humans are gay. This explanation runs into several big problems:

1. Lots of sheep and partridges are also homosexual. Also several hundred other species at least.

2. If you have ever met a human, you know they are not very rational, and cultural conditioning is in a constant pitched battle with human instincts.

3. For decades in the US the standard treatment of male babies born with deformed genitalia was to perform sex-reassignment surgery on them and raise them as girls. If human sexual behavior were purely culturally constructed, then as adults about 90% of them would have sought male partners, like 90% of other children raised as girls. Instead, most of them sought female partners.

4. Homosexuality seems to be a cultural universal.

So, the evidence in favor of the "born this way" hypothesis is pretty overwhelming, especially for men. So, how did "gay genes" not get wiped out?

Among the numerous theories mentioned in the WP article: "There was genetic material being passed down on the X chromosome which both promotes fertility in the mother and homosexuality in her male offspring." (Camperio-Ciani, Corna, and Capiluppi 2004) Another possibility is that being gay is biological and congenital, just not genetic, for example due to fetal hormone exposure or immune response by the mother's body.

Historically, lots of gay men have been voluntarily married to women, had sex with them, and had children with them. This still happens today. I have known gay men who have never had sex with women, but they are very much the exception to the rule. (There are men who are exclusively attracted to postmenopausal women, too, just not very many of them.)
Though only surprising or outrageous if you denied obvious signs for political reasons. There are biological differences starting from conception, and it would have been surprising if that didn't manifest in the brain.

Maybe, but I figure the typical "#umpshow" issues would continue to play into it if the umps still make a decision with whatever they're given by the machine.

The way I see it with what I initially posted, the ump can make a call but with the machine backing every pitch, it'll be easy to stop emotional calls from continuing.
Besides the technical and legal points raised it's in the last paragraphs that the most important point is raised:

> The timing looks kinda fash. I also think the timing of Signal’s blog post was suboptimal. Why? Because Cellebrite devices were used in some of the criminal cases against the Capitol rioters, to extract data from their phones after they were arrested. It’s still early days in those criminal prosecutions, those cases are still ongoing, and there are hundreds of them. (I don’t know how many of them involve Cellebrite evidence.) The DOJ is already stretched extremely thin because of how damn many of these cases there are, and if even a fraction of those defendants got Cellebrited-upon, and they all decide to file a motion to examine the Cellebrite device and throw out the Cellebrite evidence, that will add further strain.

> Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of the DOJ, as you may have guessed by now. But I also don’t like seditious fascists, and I think the people who tried to violently overthrow our democratically-elected government should be caught and held accountable. And the timing of this blog post kinda makes it look like Moxie — who is famously an anarchist — is giving the fascists ammunition in their legal cases to try to get off the hook. As said, I don’t think it’ll work, and even fascists deserve due process and not to be convicted on the basis of bug-riddled spy machines, but it’s helpful to them nonetheless.

It's the usual knife/gun conversation again but indeed - as in the author's words - that likely won't get him anymore job with Signal.

What do you use instead of standardized scores that are less easily gameable? Extra-curriculars are easier to game and require far more money and time. Essays are much more effectively gamed. Same with grades.

Also if you don't have a safe place to study that's awful. But that's going to affect your grades and how much you learned the previous 12 years much more.

The methodology in this study seems really sketchy to me.

So we start with one indicator of bone cancer that is well-established: bone lesions. This indicator shows a significant rise from medieval to current times.

Now we use another, less established indicator (ct scan results) and find... a number consistent with the first result.

Finally, we make some "extrapolations" about the rate of undetectable cancer based on our observations and lots of assumptions.

In the end, we show that our extrapolated(!) cancer rate is higher than expected and does not show as much of a difference between medieval and modern times.

None of this explained the significant rise in the first indicator. Also, even if you liberally pad your data with extrapolations, wouldn't you have to apply the same formula to the indicators of cancer in modern-day individuals?

By the way, the modern-day cancer rate is still ~3x higher than even the extrapolated rate (15% vs 50%) - yet, the article goes one step further than the study and frames this as a finding that the cancer rate didn't grow at all.
A "protected computer" as defined in the CFAA is, to a first approximation, any computer. Particularly if it's connected to the Internet.
This could have been a potential line of reasoning, if they would have implemented it, and if Signal were taken to court for it.

The problem is, they wrote this article. Where they say they will put 'aesthetically pleasing' code on installations. But not all installations. So Cellebrite can claim it's a menace (sort of a booby-trap) , and not a protection (sort of a shield).

Another issue: they say they obtained then kit because it fell of a truck. Any judge knows that 'fell of a truck' is a manner of speaking. Thanks to their statement it will be possible for Cellebrite to say "We checked the last 6 months of deliveries, no truck incidents". Cellebrite can try to find civil statutes (fraud?) and ask for discovery. If that is allowed by the judge, Signal will have to show all documents and messages pertaining to the hack, or risk contempt of court or perjury.

This is what the article is about. TL;DR: great work guys, wish you had consulted a lawyer before writing the post though.
About Heaps Through Visualizations
Heap is a tree-based data structure that is useful in maintaining queue of items according to their priorities

But most of the drivers were perfectly fine with the cones and driving past it with no issues. The thing is if one waymo car was confused by the cones likely all waymo cars would be.

I can only imagine the chaos ensuing if another one or two waymo taxis would have arrived at the same location. Would they have gotten stuck behind each other. Simultaneously trying to desperately call for help and go around each other?

The greatest Joy in my life today is that i have been cured of Herpes by a Doctor called Dr. Macaulay , I was infected with HERPES Disease in 2019, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution,so that my body can be okay. Until one faithful day as i was browsing on the internet I saw a testimony on how Dr. Macaulay has helped people in curing Herpes and other diseases, quickly copied his WhatsApp number so i contacted him for solution for my Herpes disease, So Dr. Macaulay told me that his going to prepare his herbal medicine for my health which he sent to me, luckily after 2week my Herpes was cured. Dr Macaulay is well recognize as one of the best herbalist doctor in Africa, you don't have to be sad anymore or cry anymore on this disease when the cure is available. .For enquiries:Via:Dr.Macaulayherbalhome@yahoo.comWhatsApp: (+2349067522465)https://wa.me/message/HJO6BWJEP4CFJ1

That’s making an awful lot of assumptions, and is contradicted by a counter example with Pandemrix.

There is no equivalence between naturally getting it and artificially getting it. Almost everything is different about the process.

And everything you say had been said about pandemrix at the time, including the chance of getting the disease vs the vaccine - and historically was wrong.
As someone who works in the professional smart home business and in a comapny with close to 15 years of experience, using "3D" based house plans are usually a waste of resources. In most cases, this leads to the following problems:

- Having to create a 3D house plan from scratch

- Having to add textures, objects to it, as otherwise it would look bland

We only use black/white 2D house plans, which bring all the positive aspects of a house plan without the negative one from 3D, as a flat 2D plan does not need any objects in it to look good.

Absolutely not! Some of the best discussions are inspired by the worst posts. Short, misinformed, badly written blog posts not worth reading in any way can set off lengthy, fascinating discussions on here. People frequently wonder aloud why on earth the posts were upvoted, but it's the discussion that's upvoted—the votes are apparently to encourage more comments, where the comments already present were very good reading.

More useful, though still not a good idea, would be requiring commenters first to read the other comments, as often a comment repeats what another has already said—although with hundreds of comments, this becomes increasingly impractical.
They are extinct because in the game of size vs brains they lost. So this still supports their argument. Humans and human activity is part of the environment the same way as anything else. Humans were also here with cockroaches or horses but those are still around.

To me those colors are in order:

Red, Brown, Blue, Gray, Blue, Green, Yellow, green, Gray, Blue. Those linear color spectrums never made sense to me as a color blind person.

Technically I only see blue and green, but since people call different shades of green so many different things I start to call them stuff like red and brown. So dark green is brown, then as you go brighter it becomes red, orange, green and brightest green is yellow. White is blue + green, and since red is green pink is just white with less intensity, so gray.

Edit: Anyway, most men are one chromosome color better than me. Most women are two chromosomes better at distinguishing color than me. Makes sense then that women are way better at telling them apart.

Cadbury’s chocolate used to be a British company (having started in the Bourneville area of Birmingham in the UK) but was taken over in 2010 by Kraft, the American makers of spray-on cheese from a deodorant bottle.

The problem is that American chocolate is something of the worst in the world, and so there’s no doubt that the (cocoa) bean counters negatively affected the Cadbury brand and taste in order to shave off a few cents.

The article mostly talks about people quitting or not depending on what their employers choose to do about office vs WFH after the pandemic is abated, but my reasons for quitting had nothing to do with whether or not my employer would want me back in the office.

A Waymo Driver can be given clarifications about the world, basically remote human operators can reach into its model of the world, and explain OK, for example, the north side of this road is actually inaccessible, you mustn't drive there. Then, with this improved understanding, the Driver may be able to complete its mission.

They deliberately can't drive the car remotely. If Waymo wants a human to drive the car, they send the human to where the car is, the human gets inside and drives it like any other car.

One easy thing that can go wrong, just as with any other human activity, is the humans make a mistake and their "clarification" is actively unhelpful. If the Waymo Driver is confused about which lane is coned off, and you "help" by telling it the wrong lane, unsurprisingly things will not be improved.

The best solution is always that the Waymo Driver learns how to do better on its own, if you imagine it sees this situation and just confidently picks the correct lane and uses it, Fleet Response never interacts at all, there is no opportunity for them to "provide incorrect guidance". So a bunch of the invisible effort at Waymo is on making the Waymo Driver just get stuff right on its own.

Wrapping primitives comes with its own set of problems. Like having to unbox it all the time for things like basic display.

So you either validate it all the time or you unbox it all the time.

Also with dedicated primitives you need to validate the email when you read it from the dB to hydrate it. So you removed couple of validations here but added a couple there.

My solution is stick to basic DTO and validate in the end at the service receiving the data, and let the errors, if any, propagate up the chain in a way that preserves where the input came from. In most cases I validate once.

So this issue we’re talking about. Doesn’t happen.
