They used the same letter for two sounds in the sense that it had a consonantal use and a vowel use. But they did not, themselves, perceive the two sounds as being different sounds. They are, to the Romans, one sound in two different contexts.

Quoting Vox Latina:

> There is also a much-quoted anecdote of Cicero's, which tells how, when Marcus Crassus was setting out on an ill-fated expedition against the Parthians, a seller of Caunean figs was crying out 'Cauneas!'; and Cicero comments [...] that it would have been well for Crassus if he had heeded the 'omen', viz. 'Caue ne eas'; this hardly makes sense unless, as we presume, the [consonantal] u of caue was similar to the [vocalic] u of Cauneas. A parallel case is provided by Varro's etymology of auris from auere

(The book is accurate in representing the Latin spelling as being identical for the consonant and the vowel; in fact they used V and U is a much later invention. Perhaps the book felt English speakers would have more trouble accepting V as a vowel than U as a consonant.)
I believe what they're saying is that the thumbnails Wordpress generates may be larger in file size because they're not rigorously optimized like your original image may be.

Is this not a reference to uptime (as in servers)?

That's the comparison that I quoted in my comment and that I was responding to. You're comparing continuous uptime to humans' disconnected (and brief) bouts of driving.
This is a funny claim to make given that the US literally has stealth satellites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misty_(satellite)

Just because it's physically challenging to avoid having some blackbody emissions or whatever doesn't mean you can't evade modern sensors in practice.
There is no way for us to know and I didn't say that w/o Google or other Big Tech we wouldn't be have these candies as someone described. Rather that we should acknowledge the role they played in distributing the tech they didn't create.

It's a case of "man bites dog" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog
That was true for earlier radar guided missiles. The latest ones are smart enough to account for distance and calculate an energy optimized intercept course rather than just pointing straight at the target.
The pseudo code on the stock image for developer.bbc.com is editable
It can be easier in terms of getting to a far away target, of maximizing range, but pointing strait has an advantage. As the target moves forwards the missile will be dragged behind, which reduces the relative angle at intercept, reducing the targets ability to make a last second maneuver. An direct approach IR missile can literally fly up the tailpipe of a fast target.

Interesting. I think you are talking about intra-container composition, and I’m talking about inter-container composition. I see what you are saying (I think) about dependencies within a single container.
"its our useless garbage"
We were doing Amazon before Amazon was doing Amazon. When they were just selling books, we had the first single-shopping-cart online mall with hundreds of merchants, as well as thousands of non-mall merchants using our software to create and launch ecomm sites that accepted credit cards. We unfortunately sold the company to a bunch of goofballs from Canada who had no idea what to do with us, and within a year and a half we were shut down.

Maybe because people weren't buying pre-recorded MiniDiscs? But as far as I can tell, that wasn't the point...

In the late 90s I had a Sharp 722 (in champagne gold iirc) and you could plug that thing into a pair of decks (UK Garage at that time) and get rich, beautiful sound out of it – fully captured the texture of the vinyl.

CDs were awkward, needed to lie horizontal, and prone to skipping and getting scratched up.

MiniDisc was never a replacement for CDs, but a replacement for cassettes – and at that, they were great.
Google does some vetting. Also, if the author doesn't get in first, someone else could put it in the store, claiming the name and making it hard for the author to update.
The other commenter was somewhat spot on. While it's cool that you went on a saltwater fishing trip, it's just a picture of you holding a fish. Or likewise killed a deer. A lot of women do not find that attractive on a dating profile. They will be fine with it if you mention that you do it on a date though. That's the key difference. It's not attractive whatsoever.

Now, the difference between doing it for fun once and a while and being a pro at something is completely different. You do a sport fishing league, own your own boat, and are die hard into it, it changes the context similar to what you're saying. Women would possibly find that attractive because you're not some schmuck. You've got clout somewhere and are an authority in it. That's the major difference that sets them apart. It's the exact reason why you see some SWE guys with attractive women even though they may not be attractive or seem autistic on the social specturm. They've achieved something and continually work at it. It's a subtle vetting process that states "I don't give up at the first sign of weakness and I am extremely motivated."

Basically once I moved my old profile toward doing cool things that I know interest women, my matches skyrocketed basically. It really made me understand why guys don't get swipes. It's literally a resume and you gotta make yourself the best candidate.

That's why it's so interesting that only humans came up with the absolutely game-breaking OP strategy of being smarter than everything else.
But that’s sort of the point. You are saying “if you have a DBA and use proprietary products and have the skill to understand the trade offs of running a db with another data warehouse product layered in you can handle GB of data”.

Mongo said “Throw data at me and I’ll scale with very little work”.

Now, I’ve always largely believed that’s penny wise and pound foolish but it’s certainly a good pitch.
"It has to do with refinement of things, games, products and aesthetics. It’s hard to describe exactly WHAT Refinement Culture really means."

The author fails to provide any shape to this. He doesn't describe what refinement culture is. It's a list disconnected changes. I don't know what he's trying to say other than "I don't like how some things change". An AI may have written a better article (if this wasn't already AI generated).

On many sites javascript is about ad-tracking, not "nice things".

For example, cnn.com shows no content with javascript disabled. By itself html is perfectly capable of displaying text and graphics, that's what it is designed for. Taking a quick look it appears that about half of the scripts loaded on their front page are for ad-tracking. A gizmodo page I'm looking at now wants to load 37 scripts for some reason. ublock is showing me 14 ad-tracking items.

I'd rather avoid such sites. So I go somewhere else if they don't work with javascript disabled. I can make per-site exceptions, but I'd rather not.

(In the above examples, I use lite.cnn.com to consume news articles news MUCH more quickly, and gizmodo with javascript disabled still showed me the text of the article I was interested in, so I'm happy.)

It's like any other sensor fusion problem. You take a weighted average of the detected target bearing based on whatever data you have. Even if the target manages to completely "defeat" one sensor by somehow becoming invisible it doesn't mean that sensor will report a totally spurious bearing; you just won't get any meaningful data at all from it and thus ignore it.
How stable are those national currencies to inflation over time though?

Notably, the British Pound Sterling is named such because 1 British pound originally represented a pound of Sterling Silver. Today it takes over 400 British pounds to buy 1 pound of sterling silver.

Twenty US Dollars were worth 1 oz of gold until 1933. Today it is nearly 2000 USD per oz.

I challenge your statement that it is easy for a government to manage a currency over the long term. In fact it seems impossible for politicians and central bankers to resist the temptation to inflate their currencies to infinity.

Why haven’t the US, Canadian, UK or Brazilian banks provided services to the 70% of El Salvadorans today? What are were they waiting for all this time? I believe it simply wasn’t profitable enough for them.
What Makes a Startup Adorable? – The Story of TunnelBear VPN
The launch platforms can feed the necessary positional data to the missile, which can switch to IR search mode as it approaches the area of the target. Most newer US platforms use a mix of inertial and IR imaging guidance. Even the longer range radar-guided missiles typically don't turn on their radar until they are relatively close to the target; effective long-range radar has power requirements that don't fit in a missile very well.

The dual-mode terminal guidance on the Chinese missile may be a response to the fact that the US has very good countermeasures for IR terminal guidance. IR guidance is cheap but it may not be reliable against some advanced targets.
I don’t have much of an opinion on the scarcity economy but I think you could read that chart differently. The industries that have listed the longest, agriculture, manufacturing etc have seen explosive productivity growth. So you might predict services are next.

This is an example of systems theory couched in Risk. You don't gain any special insights into Risk from systems theory as framed in this article.

OP/TFA introduced systems theory, then introduced the usual winning risk strategy, and then introduced a lot of required steps like player management / table top diplomacy, selecting countries to attack, timing card cash-outs, boundary holding, and so on without systems theory.

This could be quite a revolutionary find so long as the research can be replicated and validated.

However, we may be a ways off from seeing it actually implemented…

> The team says the exact mechanism behind this extreme thermal stability isn't totally clear, but that perhaps bond lengths, angles and oxygen atom positions are changing in concert with one another to preserve the overall volume.

With that said, I am optimistic and very hopeful that answers - and a more elaborate description of its operation and its operational boundaries - are discovered soon. Only then could I see, say, the USAF utilizing this as the “skin” for their latest generation craft, particularly, UAVs or missiles operating at Mach >=5.
What's your point? Those satellites were detected. They weren't actually stealthy in any meaningful way. Very minor signature reductions at best.
What makes you question it?
There's debate about that; I have read the opposite (natural recovery results in longer immunity) recently as well. In the face of question, there, I tend to trust the longer history of the immune system over the vaccine.

Twin studies, adoption studies, and now GWAS studies are quickly putting an end to the idea of some significant but elusive environmental effect that accounts for heritability measures in exclusion to genes. Regarding the articles, I don't find them compelling. The author of the first one identifies himself as an emergentist, which is conceptually vacuous. The critique in the second article doesn't target the strongest of heritability studies regarding IQ, educational attainment, etc, which have been widely replicated.
Yeah, it seems like the page answers its own question.

Depends on the assumptions, tight feedback loops can be based on less information each loop. For example an image sensor collecting light.

In that example you can have excessively tight feedback loops where looking less often let’s you see better.
It is just rudimentary, but allows for placement and resizing of tiling windows via shortcuts and you can snap windows to the edge of the screen to tile them.
That was the amazing thing about the format. It didn't need much of a network effect to work as you could just record your own stuff. And obviously, as soon as one person in the group got one, many others followed. It was great.
That does add some murkiness, but I don't take the existence of a switch to mean that websites need to accommodate both types of users. It's a technical requirement for features like <noscript> to work, so it needs to be defined in the actual standard.
Missile systems. Such complex approaches are calculated and controlled by the launching platform. A radar-guided missile will normally not "see" the target on its own until long after launch, until near endgame. Whether the actually missile has the brains to make such calculations is different than whether the entire system has the ability.
Isn't that what systems thinking is? A fancy word for "strategy"?
Smallworld is a great Risk alternative. It polishes all the best points while avoiding the pitfalls.

The way that your particular study was conducted might be interesting from a study standpoint but it doesn't match the typically accepted ways of doing agile development. For instance if you were studying metrics but not releasing those metrics immediately back to the Developers then there is no opportunity for them to improve from a feedback loop. This seems like a strong invalidation of the study itself.
To be fair, we're in a golden age of table top games. I really love Dominion and Inn Fighting. If you can find a copy of Inn Fighting, you'll learn to love its shortcomings because of its rapid pace, dynamic battles, and comic theme.
The browser doesn’t know the size at which the image will be rendered on the page until it has downloaded and parsed all the relevant CSS and JavaScript files. Shortly after the browser downloads the HTML, it requests CSS and JavaScript. But before the CSS and JavaScript is done loading, the browser starts downloading images. The only thing that the browser does know is the size of the viewport. If we give sizes based on screen width then the browser will know which image to use. The width doesn’t have to be expressed as a viewport width unit though. It can be any length including absolute and relative length. You can even use CSS calc() to do things like auto-calculate margins dynamically.

For your example I believe it would be done like so:

<img src="cat-200.jpg" alt="cat" srcset="cat-200.jpg 200w, cat-400.jpg 400w, cat-800.jpg 800w" sizes="5em">

In professional sports the more crucial metric is the number of butts in the bleachers and watching on the tube. Winning more games sure helps with that. But in baseball there's a tension between winning more games and playing more exciting games with more action. With those things going in the opposite direction, the whole business model is threatened. Politics have been blamed for the ratings drop, but a lot could be just that games have gotten progressively more boring.

I wonder what rule change in baseball could fix this, along the lines of the basketball shot clock. From a business perspective, the leagues as a whole should be refining that instead.

Up to a point, anyway, given that gladiatorial combat to the death would probably be a huge draw. "Next on ESPN, The Hunger Games XXIII. Stay tuned!" Maybe we're already evolving in that direction with the popularity of competitions like "Alone" and the battle royales on Twitch.
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

The original iPod wasn’t a thunderous success but Apple continued to iterate on it and when they release a non-FireWire version that worked with Windows it really took off.

Had they dogmatically insisted on FireWire and Mac only it may have remained a niche thing.

And of course it greatly contributed to the success of the iPhone because why not get an iPod that could make calls and save pocket space?

I've been really taken with Micro for a couple years.

I have the classic GUI-style control key combinations (^Z,X,C,V,F, etc.) so deeply in my fingers that I inevitably try to use them everywhere, appropriate or not, and Micro does the right thing with them. Super intuitive (Ctrl+Arrows to jump words) and/or mnemonic (Ctrl+T for Tab) for the usual text-editor features. A good selection of power feature like Sublime-ish multiple cursors and a scriptable command line. Mouse integration just works in X. Hooks xclip or xsel to integrate with the system clipboard. Etc.

And (being written in go), it's super easy to make static binaries and/or cross-compile to drop on machines which are fucked or you have limited access to or the like. Eg. if you need an editor on some random embedded ARM Linux box, you can'env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm CGO_ENABLED=0 make' and a few seconds later you have a binary to drop there.

My point was that AV-aircraft comparison is only valid iff they are held to the same quality standard. It sounds like we agree they are not.
