Generally you can just stick to storing 2-coordinate vectors and using vector operations.

The places where you might want to convert to a 1-number representation are when you have a lot of numbers you want to store or transmit somewhere. Using the stereographic projection (half-angle tangent) instead of angle measure works better with the floating point number format and uses only rational arithmetic instead of transcendental functions.
My kid has been aware of AntsCanada for a long time, and has purchased lots of supplies from them.

Yes, most ants are similar to bees in that way. In fact ants and bees are very closely related. But a few kinds of ants (for example the invasive Argentine ants), can have multiple queens in a colony that cooperate with each other.

The reason for this rule is the ease with which ants become invasive species, and how much damage they can do.
They are also perfect for gun cleaning! Cut small squares for cleaning barrels, and keep bigger pieces for wiping down parts. I do this with my old nasty shirts.

That's in the ballpark of pretty much every effective vaccine ever deployed.

They are never 100%. This misconception seems to have gotten prevalent with COVID and the mRNA vaccines being "only" 90-95% effective. That is staggeringly good, better than most.
The app review process is never going to be perfect.

There are 2+ million apps which assuming average 10 updates over their lifetime = 20+ million reviews. Of course there are going to be mistakes, differences in interpetation between reviewers and edge cases.

But situations like this show exactly why a review process is useful. A keyboard app with network access is something that deserves a lot of scrutiny.
HomeDepot and Bestbuy are what I would hold up as the best websites. Target is decent too, except they started allowed resellers and I was not as easily able to find how to restrict to items sold only by Target.
Although true to a certain extent, it doesn't mean minds can't be changed, just as it is for any other population's negative perception of any vaccine. In my own church I've had this discussion with parents, and I know of at least one who changed their position on HPV vaccination. I credit them with giving the matter thought.
We could flip it sideways and ask "why question anything at all?"

We should not be guileless. Whether I have a piece of paper that shows others I'm an "expert" or not, I still question. I ask things like "why is this contemporary vaccine XYZ so politicized?" and "why are companies and governments paying people to take it?"

In other arenas, we say that if you receive something for free "you are the product". So I ask "why is this contemporary case any different?"

The above is only an example. I reserve my right to question. I will note that I'm in no position to dictate to others. I will also note that very few people are currently in a position to dictate to me. I desire that status quo to remain. Anything else is despotism.
I'm not sure what your point is, I'm simply restating the source you quoted:

"Here's an incomplete list of such "nutjobs" who would fall under YouTube's policy of eliminating all views that the risk of the virus has been vastly overstated and that the mitigation measures are doing far more harm than good:"

Note "would fall under" not "were removed". It's not surprising to me that some were removed from youtube, but the list wasn't based on people who had been censored.

Funnily enough though, looking back all three of those hucksters were demonstrably wrong in many of their claims.
Who will enforce this mandate? Or will this be an honor system?
The robots will just become drones (remotely controlled by humans). BD demos are great to show that these will be autonomously ambulatory (you just tell them which direction to move, they manage the low-level concerns of the movement).

We won't trust AI with decision-making, but we will trust the status-quo police forces to dish out violence from the safety of an office.
I kinda see your point, but before we talk about the GC, can we address kubelet and the absolute mindless frenzy, resume-driven technological orgy that Kubernetes and "DevOps" has turned into?
Baby steps, there are any number of issues to address if the goal was to create something that is energy producing for consumption. However, taking out even any aspect of commercialization or scaling this is an important milestone in terms of science and engineering. That's not to say don't ask those questions, it is just allow the excitement of progress while asking future questions.
I'm not sure you are being critical of React. There is nothing about React that prevents you from separating the HTML and CSS into separate files.

You are being critical of separation choices. To which I am curious why embedding the CSS and HTML inside a Javascript file makes any difference to the designer? In practice, we often see slightly different syntax to accommodate, but I cannot imagine that is a true barrier. The CSS and HTML (or their slightly modified equivalents) are still logically separated from the rest of the logic in the file.

My stepdad does maintenance for the Post Office. He has some stories.

Someone shipped a small alligator once. It peed in the cardboard box it was in and it got wet enough for it to escape inside a sorting machine. Imagine his surprise when he opened up the machine to see what was causing the errors.
Just a slight comment - "&" was indeed called "and" (not "per se"), but in reading the alphabet, it was confusing to say "and and." To clear up confusion, one could say "and per se and," which was smooshed to become "ampersand."

"per se" was used for letters that could also be words "in themselves"
As a fellow immigrant working in the US and as someone working with non native speakers from other regions in the world, I can assure you this is not about racism. It is about team cohesion, clarity, getting things done in an international team. People have to spend extra brain cycles just to tune in to how you say things, before they can focus on what you actually say. This is especially true at the beginning of working with someone who's accent you have never heard. There is a big difference in accents between someone from India, France, Ukraine. While there is nothing wrong with that, it has value for international teams to mitigate this difference and settle on a common standard.
There's an interesting British tv show "animal airport" that covers the 24/7 operation at Heathrow airport that deals with the animals coming through.

Lots of paperwork issues, but occasionally random zoo animals turn up on planes due to misdirected air cargo/shenanigans. As well as the scheduled exotics and tons of domestic animals to be quarantined.

Far less handlers than you'd expect for the exotics. Mostly just really sturdy crates.

Used to be available streaming.
Ahh you're correct, I'm 90 miles from Lyme, not 20.
At current stage, covid vaccines are mainly to reduce severity of infections with significant reduction in mortality. It doesn't really reduce spread of infections. Research has shown vaccinated individuals at least the same amount of load as unvacccinated. The general sayings of herd immunity with vaccinations can protect those unable to get vaccines don't apply for this situation. In fact, it will pretty much condemn those who don't get vaccinated when vast majority have been vaccinated and actively spread the infections.
Looks like this is the V Lang guy's example project. Pretty impressive progress.
My god the insanity here is wildly out of control. As he has pointed out, vaccines don't stop transmission in any way, so people's individual choices about whether to get vaccinated or not is absolutely not making them "killing people" or "murderers". If you really want to go there, consider that people are definitely being killed by the vaccines themselves, that is proven beyond doubt now. So it's easy to turn that around and say those trying to push vaccines on people who don't need them are the "murderers".
> Frankly there are billions of people who would kill to speak English like a native American

Probably, at least in poor and undeveloped countries. But a lot of people would kill even more to speak with a posh British Accent, it's really hard to sound sophisticated when speaking American English.
Likely branding. For example, Coca-cola can write pretty much whatever they want on the can and you'd still know it was them because of the font.
It's unfortunate that testing vitamin D levels still isn't part of the standard care for most hospitalized patients. We now have evidence that hypovitaminosis D is a risk factor. But if those test results aren't recorded in the patient chart then they can't be used for modelling.

>I am not sure if this is still correct, but you could play in a porn movie but not be allowed to watch it either.

Likely not, in 2021. I believe in most states in the US, it's considered CSAM if the subject is under 18 and the material is sexual in nature.
Very cool! We're also considering building a mac app, that elegantly solves all the access control / compliance concerns

The downside is that in client-only arrangement state is no longer centrally managed; I wonder how do you solve that? Or do you have a "hybrid" model with some parts on the client and others on the server?

I think its your cultural biases as work, or is it mine? So hard to tell these days.
Silly question, so how do type foundries prevent someone from literally copying the TTF, WOFF, EOT files - and then rebrand a font as their own?

Will the bits/bytes of a TTF be different if two people produced identically the exact same shape of the letters?

EDIT: let me clarify a bit. The GP said that the shape of the letters is not copyrighted in the US. Which implies to me that if Helvetica has the exact shape of the letter "s" to be like so, and if I were to manually trace the exact same shape (curves, width, height of the letter, etc) that I can do that and resell it (or open source it)

What I'm asking is, what prevents someone from skipping the step all together of tracing every letter in the Helvetica alphabet and instead, just digitally copies the TTF font file?

Would the TTF font file I create from a manual tracing of the Helvetica alphabet be different than if I simply digitally copied the official Helvetica TTF file?
No human is going to be able to review every app correctly every single time. Misunderstandings will always happen.

It sucks and it is annoying, but what you do when it happens is reply with more explanations, and eventually the app will be re-reviewed and approved. I have had to do it quite a few times. Losing your temper over it helps not at all.
It recently got coverage in popular media -- but those familiar with sanitation operations and secondhand materials markets know that recycling has been subject to market demands for those materials for its entire existence. Recycling has never operated outside of the realm of economics.

The reasons changes to recycling programs are slow are:

1. People don't pay attention anyway

2. If the price of plastics go way up 5 years from now, you'll never retrain people to recycle again

3. Recycled metals are still valuable
This is more a limitation of VSCode than C++. Go to Definition for C++ works just fine in Visual Studio proper for many years now.

We haven't actually created anything substantive yet - just some prototypes that are using the reddit API - so these are questions we'll have to answer. Right now we're trying to determine if there's actually demand for it, and I'm not convinced yet.

Ideally the crawls will be run on a VM that the customer controls, and the customer will be responsible for complying with the TOS of the sites they choose to crawl, and comply with their own local laws, etc.

Home Depot is good, but their iOS app still lacks a lot of polish around selecting a store, payments, and list management.
Which is also a method to shift light pulses by the shortest of durations! Insert an optical delay line into the setup and by varying the path length, you can delay a light pulse by a tiny amount of time, e.g. for a pump-probe experiment (a pump-probe experiment works like this: first pulse does something to the system ("pump"), second pulse comes a short time later and reads out ("probes") the state of the system at that time. Changing the time delay gives an idea of the dynamics).

Here is a drawing of an optical delay line: https://www.thorlabs.com/images/TabImages/Delay_Line_Kit_D1-...

The part labelled "V-Block" can move along the "translation stage" which changes the length of the optical path by twice this amount. Use the speed of light to calculate which delay the pulse incurred over the distance. You can now send pulse after pulse through your setup while changing the delay by tiny amounts to see how things (e.g. chemical processes) happen on these time scales.
That this doesn't happen is all the more proof we live in a plutocracy with a veneer of democracy.
From my perspective, not OP's:

At one point I read somewhere in some pop-psych book that people naturally tend towards symmetric engagements. I think this particular remark was speaking on the point of physical attraction. And from a logical standpoint this makes sense at a baseline (wherein all other things are equal). But say, your photo shows a 3/10 on the highly arbitrary meter of attraction. You're presented with a battery of perceived-people [1], these are accounts, with photos of humans who one trusts has another human at the other end that is accurately represented by the profile details. You're not immediately confronted with the fact that some people are literally only engaging in the system to accumulate matches, bots, advertisers, scammers; one naturally places their trust in the system. This trust allows the user to reasonably assume any matches made are reflective of their value. In reality about 2/3rds (anecdotal) are indiscriminate. This feedback can duly be intuited to move the personal perception of self-assessed attraction from a 3 to say a 5 or greater, and generate unrealistic expectations in the domain of physical attraction. What's more is, I'd conjecture that the external valuations are more impactful than self-assessed attraction, that weighting strongly contributes to the big picture assessment of the mating landscape. The more feedback from indiscriminate sources the greater the pull. Physical attraction is a huge component of mate selection, so this component alone can raise an individual's standards far beyond their standing power.

Then there's the perception of the overall pool in every dimension. If one is given literally thousands of options and even the faintest glimmer of the hope ideal selection, they're left to pick and choose in a loop that likely won't satisfy. And if you apply the idea of hypergamy to the situation it becomes even more perverse, and this stands to destabilize what might actually become tangible by offering unrealistic prospects via the indiscriminate perceived-people. Think of the situation where a 3/10 ends up with a 3/10 but is more or less told they're capable of netting a 5-7/10, will they realistically settle for that? I suspect not, and this distortion makes their actual prospect pool seem far less appealing and creates a perverted and highly disposable form of relationship. And then you can lump in all of the economics, education, lifestyle, practical accessibility, plans and desires, etc... as further complicating the distortions offered up by the infinite choice fallacy.

[1] This should be read as: bots, advertisers, influencers, etc... and facades.

So nuclear can "naturally" load follow by overbuilding capacity and then just throwing away some of that energy when its not needed. But wind and solar can't do exactly that same thing?
Fonts are software. They require design and engineering. Are there free, open-source, high quality fonts? Yes, there are. And some businesses choose to sell their fonts. It's their responsibility to make sure discerning users see the justification in that.

Just like software, there are often free alternatives that can suit your fancy... but sometimes, you have to pay for what you really want or need.
People don't choose to use Microsoft products, the software is chosen for them by their organization. For a problem like this, the existence of the article may very well be the first step to switching to another solution. The first step in that process is raising awareness that there is a problem.

Go will allocate some things on the stack by performing escape analysis. That can be improved, but it's incorrect to say that GC is the only way to manage memory in Go.
You need to lean into a fully managed model if you want to support things like compaction, no? (Speaking generally. I don't think Go supports compaction.)

You can still squeeze out some tricks though. Span<T> in C# seems to be pretty successful.
> There's several ways to avoid the issue in Excel.

No, not really. There are several ways to help reduce the issue, but none of them eliminate what it does.

Example that comes to mind is the data file for College Board's SAT test. The data formats for student reports for schools come in two formats: PDF (one page per student), CSV, and fixed-width. That is the comprehensive list of your options. College Board doesn't care about you as a customer. They're too big. Any request you submit will be black holed.

Some of the columns in the file indicate a range, usually in the format "X-Y". Excel will try to coerce that into a date, if it's valid.

Other columns indicate a ratio, expressed as "X/Y". Excel will coerce that into a date, if it's valid.

Other columns indicate an ID number, expressed as a large, fixed-digit number, zero-padded. Excel will coerce that into an integer, or, if it's too long, into scientific notation discarding digits.

It doesn't matter how you format the CSV. Excel will do the above.

Here's an example CSV:

ID,Range,Ratio
12345678901234567890,8-9,"7/15"
"00000000000000012345","9-10",21/35

I open that with Excel and immediately save it as a CSV. I look at the file in a text editor and I see:

ID,Range,Ratio
1.23457E+19,9-Aug,15-Jul
12345,10-Sep,21/35

Do you have any idea how fun it is to explain to teachers and school administrators what happened here?

The correct way to work with this data file is: Do not, under any circumstances, open it with Excel if you expect to use it for anything else.

The problem is, there are very few applications that work well with CSV files. I know of CsvEd and Delimit. There are several text editors with a CSV column mode that makes the file look like a table (with varying degrees of success). All of these vary between "godawful" and "a complete nightmare" in terms of performance and usability compared to Excel.
My point is that it is here to stay, we need to mitigate the rest of the initial infections (hopefully delta will take care of that in the next month or so), and then we go back to living our lives where individuals choose their own approach to avoiding and handling infectious pathogens.

To be clear: that means no mandates.

This doesn't seem corroborated just from that chart. runtime.systemstack() is one of the calls that allows code to switch from the user stack to the system stack, so that non-preemptible (by the goroutine scheduler) code can run, but this doesn't only include garbage collection. It includes all system calls. The kubelet works by synchronizing node state with the definition retrieved from the apiserver across the network, so I would expect it spends a lot of time making system calls just to read from and write to whatever port and/or socket it uses to do that.
I don't think "you" as in "the general user base" notices the differences between fonts, but there certainly is some innate sense of fitness to a design. Similar to how people can tell something is cohesive or jankily designed, even if they can't pinpoint what causes the jank.

Personally, I can't recognize specific fonts in the wild (especially Helvetica and its infinite lookalikes), but can certainly feel when a site uses an inappropriate font (usually too thin, but also things like using a UI font for longer-form text), to the extent I have a few userscripts that change some popular site's fonts to something more appropriate in my optinion.

Tinder's UX is about delivering the illusion of choice. Swiping through an endless carousel of potential companions keeps users on the app.

Whether they're real or not is the user's problem. Worst case scenario, they get fed up and go to OkCupid, which has the same parent company, and the same dehumanizing swipe based UI. Or they could go to Match.com, which I think is the parent company.
