That's more or less what I was thinking -- in fact, every text adventure system I'm aware of, going all the way back to mainframes and microcomputers in the 1970s, implement a version of this. Nelson's "cells" are rooms, and "connections" are exits.

Many of the oldest microcomputer ones, like Scott Adams' adventure games (and from your description, DikuMUD), are exactly what's described here, except as you note, with more than four directions: typically there are either six or ten (adding NW, NE, SW, SE to N, W, E, S, Up, Down), and I remember some that added "IN" and "OUT" as unique exit names. Other systems allow an arbitrary number of connections defined within the node, such as MUCK rooms or links between Twine nodes. Basically, these are multi-cardinal linked lists.

At risk of editorializing, I get this sort of feeling from a lot of my encounters with Ted Nelson's work: he and his more ardent defenders are very, very insistent about how visionary he is, but I often come away with "that's neat but not terribly practical" or, like here, "aren't these new names for stuff that already existed?" (Also, about 100% of the time I read about the history of his work, I'm left with "he would have had something there if he'd been willing/able to play nicely with others.")

Going a bit off-topic here, but as a tiramisu lover I feel compelled to say that if you like desserts and coffee, generally, you might consider trying some if the opportunity presents itself.

A bit more on topic, I'd generally agree that it's not so common as to be universal. I don't think I'd heard the word in any way that registered as significant before my mid-20s, and I'm certain I never tried it until my late 20s or early 30s. I grew up in the suburbs around Pittsburgh, PA with plenty of passable Italian restaurants -- but tiramisu simply wasn't a dessert people in my family ordered.
Anecdotally, my sister moved to SF from the east coast a couple of years ago. After her patio was burgled a few times, she didn't feel safe so she and her husband moved to Santa Rosa, about 90 minutes north. She's happy as a clam there.
You underestimate the desire for precision tracking, unfortunately. Hiding behind custom subdomains is common.

I was thinking about downloading the data at runtime, not baking it into the extension source. Obviously I don't know what your extension does and maybe there are reasons why this is not possible (e.g. maybe that's not doable because you need offline support).
More likely, they'd get upgraded to "first-party" tracking by acting as a CDN-layer where the ad networks do the proxying/caching to get the actual content upstream before merging it with the ads and serving whole thing in a single request. How would you block ads from Cloudflare if it became an ad network?

My takeaway from the article was that their conclusion was to remove cropping from the product, starting incrementally on iOS. (I got cropping removed on Android as well recently). That seems like the opposite of "keep using ML for cropping"?

Definitely still mostly C. Although currently tossing up whether we use some very limited C++ for a new project: some templated types to handle memory safety, and some strict encapsulation.

I'm quite intrigued by Zig and am hoping to get in and play with it, since it aims to be a "better C" (not C++) so it remains a small language. See this recent post which triggered my curiosity: https://kevinlynagh.com/rust-zig/

(edit: more thoughts on Zig) I am intrigued because I want out of a new embedded programming language aligns perfectly with their approach. comptime instead of the C preprocessor, generics, any allocation is explicit (any memory allocation is at initialisation time), etc.

It actually is mentioned in the article:

“When an enemy fighter dived from behind, fired and carried on diving past, one could not immediately dive in pursuit without the engine temporarily cutting and causing one to be left far behind. This could be avoided by rolling upside down, pulling back on the stick into a dive (positive g) then rolling level in the dive. […] Similarly, on sighting a target below, one suffered momentarily if one pushed the nose down to attack, a grave disadvantage.”

I am curious about the scenario you raised as to how an ME109 pilot would behave. Did they know about this flaw in the Spitfire?
Yes, but not on the back like they have (on some models) but on the top. If your key is in one of the rear USB sockets, when you press down to activate it it will stress the port (it acts like a lever).

I was thinking on the top, parallel with the surface. Lay the key on the keyboard, slide it to the left to insert into the socket. When you press on the key, the force gets transferred through the key onto the keyboard, and so no flex or stress on the socket.

The last time I looked at IRCv3 I was disappointed by how much was an optional extension.

My opinion is that a strong 'minimum' protocol is critical to interoperability and opportunities for federated protocols to function well across providers. I recall that was the main, non XML, reason that XMPP failed. Of course I also dislike XML as a data storage / transmission format.

> As far as i know there is only one roman catholic church, but with different dogma's depending on region.

There is one Roman Catholic Church and its dogmas (and even mere doctrines) are the same everywhere. There are several autonomous particular churches sui iuris within the Roman Catholic Church, and within them many local particular churches, and within them many smaller units called churches, all of which vary in a greater or lesser extent in practices and traditions (but not dogma or doctrine.)
San Francisco has the worst property crime rate of any major city in America.[1] It's more than three times worse than what you'd find in New York, Boston or San Diego. It's even about twice as bad as Austin, Chicago or Philadelphia, which aren't exactly known as low crime cities. Moreover the discrepancy is likely understated since so much property crime goes unreported in SF.

Rogan is just one example.

The whole podcasting space is going through a period of massive consolidation as podcast networks get bought up by the likes of Spotify and Apple (e.g. Gimlet). I won't be in the least bit surprised if those existing acquisitions are eventually forced to shut down their RSS feeds and go exclusive, and for new acquisitions to start out that way, as Netflix has proven content is the way to drive more subscribers to their platforms.

Meanwhile, Spotify and Apple have a huge advantage over RSS-based podcasts: data. The simple fact is, thanks to their walled garden, app-centric platforms, they can collect more behavioural data and target advertising more effectively, which means they draw advertisers away and make it a lot harder for everyone else to compete.

Do these headwinds stop the small players from continuing to publish via RSS? No, not at all. But if the bulk of the money and audience shifts to those walled gardens due to their owning the biggest names in the business while enabling the kind of surveillance capitalism that's so in demand, eventually the ecosystem built up around RSS is in danger of drying up.

I'd posit a unpopular viewpoint: that the attachment to the 'Bohemian' culture is more or less an unhelpful, unprogressive fixation with the past, shamelessly fueled by hypocritical NIMBYs in the city with obvious incentives regarding home value. Can anyone explain why the old SF culture is any more relevant than Byzantine culture?

As an Artist and an Engineer who used to live in SF and moved south recently, I'd argue most of the folks I interacted with in this oft-cried-over demographic were more aptly described as aspiring artists, and that their net contributions to the 'culture' were mimetic and surface-level at best. If you take away the weed, bob marley shirts, and hemp shopping bags, what exactly can we say they did?

None of this is to say the 'nerds' were contributing much to the culture themselves, but I don't think there's much of an argument against them other than that they're boring, rich, and talked about Apps. These same people brought in quickly consumed tax revenue which the city has gorged into in its gluttonous waste.

The root of the problem is the mistrust of the 'Other,' the 'Outsider' as new folks (often Nerds) immigrate to the city, which IS a net benefit to the blending of cultures and ideas. The fixation of preserving the crumbling vestige of the past is what prevents the service level workers from ever regaining a foothold, and the scapegoat is the Nerds, when it should be the landlords and Old Guard.

> The only way to define non-computable things is to use excluded middle or choice. There is no other way. At least not in the underlying type theories of proof assistants such as NuPrl, Coq, Agda and Lean.

Meanwhile, ACL2 has the excluded middle and can still prohibit defining non-computable things. It needs termination analysis in order to do so, but these type theories rely on that too. Is the forgoing the excluded middle really gaining you the guarantee of computability?

Sure. Hardware producers have zero interest in supporting hardware they don't sell anymore, and if they sell a newer version that competes with the old then such maintenance is doubly costly - as it cuts into potential sales. But they can rely on developer laziness to eventually render what would otherwise be a durable good - into a consumable that must be constantly replaced in a predictable cycle. See the entirety of the smartphone market, for example.

Apple chose its logo well, it is well documented that they've crippled functional hardware through software updates - turning hardware into a perishable good. But Android might provide the best example of grotesquely wasteful consumerism - only made possible by the ever dependable, and yet somehow still plausibly deniable, software bit rot.
That isn't at all true. It was absolutely standard (British) English when I was growing up in the '80s.
The backlash against homeless people is coming.[1] There's a GoFundMe for a scheme for national homeless concentration camps.[2]

"The plan calls for the construction of 6 Homeless Help Campuses. These would be built on Federal Land by the Army Corps of Engineers and would be funded by the Federal Government through grants to the hosting states. Targeted states are California, Washington, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey and Georgia. Each campus will hold up to 50,000 residents. The campuses will include all services required by the residents including K-12 education, a trade tech college, physical and mental health care programs and will even include a local community based policing agency."

This is how the W3C defines it for WCAG standards. In part this is because good acessibility helps everyone, whether you realise it or not.

For example, if you are in cold weather you have gloves on which limits your manual dexterity - you can't touch the watch without taking off your gloves, or can't turn the dial - in that situation you have the same dexterity as someone with one hand or limited finger grip. The same goes if you are holding a basket or child.

Alternatively, you have good eye sight and good hearing... for now - unfortunately this probably won't always be the case. But as you age (or if you go to a loud concert) this can change rapidly - having alternate ways of using technology will come in handy in unexpected ways.

Designing for situational disability, ie. I cant use a device in this way right now, will have dramatic impact on users with permanent disabilities - but also helps people with situation disabilities right now.

It’s getting above my level of expertise but in addition to taxes, mortgages, corporate bonds, and state bonds also play a part.

Also inflation in the range of 1%-3% is considered a good thing because it helps encourage trade and prevents deflation. The amount of interest one can earn in a savings account or CD should also be taken into account.

The Beatniks; The Summer of Love. The Grateful Dead; Janis Joplin; and many, many others are all cultural touchstones of several generations of Americans and largely products of San Francisco.

Many of today’s looser sexual mores got their start or took root in San Francisco, particularly around lgbtq issues.

Sure, 90% of everything is crap, including San Francisco culture, but that last ten percent is a very big deal and the only reason it seems less so today is because it is so pervasive. Whereas it wasn’t before SF and environs produced it.

The way you worded it sounded like you were as explicit as you can be without explicitly saying that men are not harassed. You said you either adopt the persona of a man OR you are harassed. You also said you gave up and learned to talk like a man (to stop certain harassment). Both of these implies that you are not harassed if you act like a man.

It's more than that. Their very existence is predicated on subsidence within a larger society that repudiates their values. A society that actually lives their values would be both out competed and quite possibly have lost their territory to those willing to move forward.

Their attitude towards technology is as lacking in virtue as absolute pacifism. Pacifism that can only exist through others violence isn't a rejection of violence it is merely abdicating responsibility for deciding when to use that violence to others. In a way its more odious than violence.

> There are many churches in full communion with Rome that are not Roman[1].

No there aren’t; your source seems to have confused the descriptor “Roman Catholic Church” which refers to the entire body in union with Rome for what is usually described, where it needs to be distinguished, as “Latin Church” [0], the autonomous particular sui iuris church within the Roman Catholic headed by the Patriarch of Rome (who, as Pope, is also head of the entire Roman Catholic Church, with superceding authority over the heads of the sui iuris churches.)

[0] formerly also commonly “Western...” but the use of that descriptor has since been fairly authoritatively declared as no longer approrpriate.
