I find the idea that pain is something profound and not just the reception of a signal strange and based in non-scientific beliefs.

Your CPU has a temperature sensor, does that mean if you hold a flame to it and it can detect its own impending destruction, it deserves protection under the law?

Just because something has sensors somehow makes it our contemporary?
The issue is that the concept of “length” without additional context no longer applies to Unicode strings. There’s not one length there’s four or five - at least.

1. Length in the context of storage or transmission is the number of bytes of its UTF-8 representation - and not just that, one of its decomposed forms too.

2. Length in terms of number of visible characters is the number of grapheme clusters.

3. Length in terms of visible space on screen is the number of pixels wide and tall when rendered in a given font.

4. Length when parsing is based on the number of code points.

If you look at it that way it makes perfect sense that the “length” of a string could change when any operation is performed on it - because there’s no such thing as a canonical length.

tl;dr bug or not, the concept of a canonical string length is an anachronism from the pre-Unicode days when all those were the same thing. There’s no such thing as a string length anymore.
As noted in the discussion, this isn't the sole case.

There are also non-invariant case-modifying examples, where uppercase -> lowercase -> uppercase (or l -> u -> l) does not produce the input string.

> If you're not good enough with guns to make a non-lethal disarming shot

This suggests to me that you don't know much about guns, gun safety, or gun laws. I'm not trying to be insulting, but saying something like that indicates that you really have no idea what you're talking about. No use-of-force experts recommend attempting a "non-lethal" shot with a gun. In fact, you'd almost certainly get in more trouble for doing that than for killing the person, at least in the US.

A gun is a lethal weapon, and there is no way to reliably perform a "non-lethal" shot. If you shoot someone in the leg, they can very easily bleed out. Aiming for the arm or hand makes it extremely likely that you will miss and hit someone/something downrange.
I don't think any of what happened is his fault, but I do think Activision is doomed if they don't make a clean break from anyone who could appear to be part of the problem.
Super weird mental gymnastics you got going on there.
Hope you find love, and you don't kill them because they cross you.
I am sorry if you interpreted it as a flamebait. I just pointed out a sadly very common reasoning error using the data parent provided (that in their area black people make very bad choices when it comes to vaccines). The error is so common in public discourse it's worth pointing out every time as it makes discussion hard as it can always be killed by quoting a stat implying the other side is racist.
What happened to the theory that this was a side effect of exposure to insecticide spraying?
This is very exciting. The missing JIT has made web browsing much less pleasant than it should be and is currently the the only significant issue I have with my POWER9 workstation.
Who decides what's necessary? It's not really "necessary" to eat a lobster at all. Maybe we should just live in mud huts, eating the bare minimum amount of soybeans and rice to keep us just alive. That would inflict the minimal amount of "unnecessary" suffering. But then, why is it even necessary that we should be alive?

All living things suffer at one point or another, whether it was necessary or not. There is no grand cosmic register that tallies up all the suffering and is going to cause something bad to happen if it gets too high. Suffering, in and of itself, is just a subjective experience that exists solely in a mind.

> If it's on a street... how is wealth being built?

It's tax revenue, aka wealth, for the city. That counts for homes and businesses.

> And how is it not connecting productive places (your home to your office)?

The main purpose of a street is access to the productive places which is different from a road. The main purpose of a road is connecting two areas with productive places, usually attached to streets. A street has businesses or homes lining it, a road should not.

> but separating their usage actually leads to more problems than solutions.

No it doesn't. You want transportation to be fast and efficient and you want streets to be safe and accessible.

> Roads and streets are synonyms.

No, they're similar but are designed for different things. My smartphone and my laptop are both computers but we call them different things because their uses are different.
Hmm, I think I should provide a spoiler from the middle of the show for how this works out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL-ZnETGFOA. (I'd choose something earlier, but there's just so much setup early on, and I think this scene here is more representative of what you get throughout the show)

As you can see, Kumoko often goes into long monologues with herself throughout the anime. But the show makes it clear that she almost never talks to others. Basically, she's the kind of person whose "inside brain" is racing at a million-miles per hour, but what she shows on the outside is a soft spoken introvert who really dislikes interacting with humans, or others in general.

When in "Kumoko perspective", we can see how Kumoko thinks of herself as a cute little spider. But as we switch perspectives to other people in the world, she's a true spider monster, whose human-level intelligence is a severe problem (especially as she's an adept of Magic: Poison magics, Fire Magics, Earth Magic and more).
Internally they might just be standard cells. Might even be more profitable to sell them individually, just like shucking hard drives.

Somehow the big vendors get prices that consumers can only dream of.
POWER9 is interesting (compared to RISC-V) because, right now, you can buy up to a 24 core, SMT4 system (96 threads), running dual CPU sockets if you like, and supporting up to 1 TB of memory per socket, with a maximum boosted clock speed of 3.8 GHz.

All this with fully open firmware, and an open ISA (as of the last couple years). The CPU implementation itself is not open, but all firmware and procedures for initializing the CPU are open. For people interested in that sort of thing, it's appealing as a practical computer with a full PCIe implementation with actually decent performance, compared to essentially every other open source platform.

- What effort / timing is required to switch from a different solution to yours?
- Is the product being designed for the customer, or at the customer?

Distribution

- Is there an unfair distribution advantage

- Customer acquisition channels?

- How has distribution worked so far? What has worked/not worked

- How much does customer acquisition cost? (per channel)
How will I make this money back and how long will it take?

- What do I plan to do next for distribution?
We definitely don't talk about this enough. Trailer homes can be half the cost of a tiny home, but nobody wants them because of their reputation or appearance.

Comparably-sized e-ink devices offer days to weeks of battery life.

Most especially when used as an e-book reader (e.g., occaisionally invoking a full-screen refresh, without illumination, radios, or other processing), but even when used as a full-on tablet easily exceed a day of typical use.
>That person perhaps got a medical leave with pay.

Until last month, there was no medical leave or compensation of any kind for such injuries (psychological or mental health related injuries) so there's little incentive to make up such injuries. Furthermore the initial set of reports were submitted confidentially, so unless a large group of employees were colluding with one another and to this day never managed to get caught about it, it's unlikely to be that either. It's worth noting that the CIA highly scrutinizes its employees and is incredibly selective about who they hire, which doesn't mean that some of them wouldn't lie or even commit crimes... but it would be very difficult for them to successfully collude with one another for such little benefit since all it takes is one person to decide not to go along with it and then everyone is in some deep shit.

There is some plausibility that it's psychogenic, induced by stress. The FBI originally came to this conclusion in their investigation but some later studies conclude that while stress was likely a major component, it does not explain the auditory phenomenon. Certainly it's possible for some people feeling stress to hear phantom noises, but for a large group of people to all hear noises within the same geographical location and over the same period of time is quite unusual. I mean there are plenty of stressful and ordinary jobs people work everyday but you don't hear about how a mass group of nurses working overtime due to COVID are all of a sudden having auditory hallucinations, or other stressful jobs resulting in large groups of people all experiencing somewhat similar symptoms.
Another fun fact: Upper-casing is language dependent. In English uppercasing 'i' gets you 'I'. But Turkish has a dotted and un-dotted 'i', each with an uppercase variant. So if your user's language was Turkish, uppercasing 'i' would give you 'İ', and lowercasing 'I' would give you 'ı'.

Makes me wonder how case insensitive file systems handle this...and for more fun, handle the situation where the user changes the system language. I know that the Turkish 'I' delayed at least one big company's Turkish localization efforts for awhile.
So according to your philosophy; you wouldn't object to being tortured, after all, it's just signals being registered by a biological computer in your head.
‘speciesism’ hahahahaha good one!
I'm creating automations for manual tasks that our operations team is responsible for. It feels great to be, not working (only) to take work out of their hands, but to make their work easier, more interesting, more fun.

I still want to do the earth-shattering stuff, but elevating others as a force multiplier is meaningful too.
If this meme was posted to pouet or another demoscene site in the context of writing 4k (or other) space constrained demos, it would operate as you expected.

If space efficiency (or fitting in cache) are important, then this instruction being more compact but having worse execution performance could be a good tradeoff!
Part of the challenge is that must people lack the education to differentiate between a good study and a bad one, so we just throw our hands up in the air and cede to confirmation bias.
There are large e-ink devices. I've been reading this particular thread on a 13.3" Onyx device. (I switch to an emissive device to reply, in part to try reducing my distractions on the reader.)

A chief reason I'd selected that size was to read highly-formatted textbooks and scans of old, tiny-font articles. Three-column magazine and journal layouts are almost always highly readable without zoom, even where scan quality is imperfect.
> if it's generally accepted that if you're gonna steal something you are putting your life on the line - that means people would think twice before stealing something from other people.

what they'll think twice about is making sure you're not around when they steal your stuff, either by not being at home or not being alive. and i have bad news for you, the aggressor has the advantage.

I joined a startup with a multi billion dollar evaluation.

Went public, stock tanked. I'll be lucky if I make 100k off those shares, which isn't terrible, but point is anything could happen.

Do you think your startup will make hundreds of millions in a few years? It'll take them 6-12 months after that milestone to actually go public, too.

Compared to equivalent book storage (and costs), the device price becomes far more reasonable.

Smaller devices (6--8") are at or below $200, particularly if you're willing to go back a model rev or two. Large devices are more expensive (~$800 for a 13.3" screen), but permit 2-up reading of much content and full-size (e.g., unzoomed) viewing of even large-format or small-print materials.
Hmm, uiCA results:
xlatb: https://bit.ly/3cyBNN5
sequence: https://bit.ly/3nCmVTX

xlatb is looking better here.
There are also some front end concerns that may favor xlatb, in particular if it's friendlier to the decoder. xlat is also fewer muops, taking less of the muop cache once decoded.
Emojis in Unicode may have been massive scope creep, but I don’t think the poop emoji or love hotel emoji represent it. Love hotels are a legitimate phenomenon in Japan, where emoji originate (heck, even the word emoji is Japanese.) It fits in well alongside other map icons, even if the cultural clashes can be amusing. And the poop emoji may be silly, but it’s hard to deny its application for expression.

Now what I find is less practical and more ridiculous is the sheer number of ways you can combine various codepoints to get different emoji representing families. On one hand, it’s impressive dedication to trying to be neutral and encompassing, on the other hand it is nightmarish just how many possibilities exist.
You can backdoor silicon just as well as you can backdoor software or microcode. Why do you only care about trusting the latter?
I also would love for a paper like digital experience. Remarkable and Supernote both look great. I've known about Remarkable for a while, and supernote from your comment just now.

I want the experience of paper, most importantly of which is the e-ink screen and feel of writing. I do not want another LCD/LED screen device.

The biggest points for me are

* E-Ink (or similar screen)
* Very low lag when writing (Remarkable 2 is at ~21ms which is incredible)
* Long Battery (Cause it's E-Ink...)
* Fast Refresh Rate - The kindle refresh rate when flipping through pages is so slow. It's very frustrating to navigate on for non indexed pages.
* Enhance any supported capability with digital notes (books, emails, pdfs etc). Anything the device supports should become an extended surface for hand written notes and markup from any other device or access method (web, phone etc).

I think Apple has the biggest chance here since they are so focused on integration across services, products, and devices. They have their own email client, their own messaging platform, their own browser, their own book store. They can work to enhance any of these.

They already have with iPad. But an e-ink device is very much not meant as an iPad. It really is digital paper (a common term, not trying to say I came up with it) but in a preserving way.
I'm glad you agree that while protesters are allowed to cause some inconvenience, they are not allowed to disable critical infrastructure like access to roads.

This is why most areas in the U.S. which are concerned about rule of law (some areas have "progressive prosecutors" that put activism above the rule of law) do not allow protestors to do this, and they make sure that the legal code discourages things like blocking highways or shutting down traffic.
It's not really what people usually called e-readers though? It's usually another way to refer to e-ink(or the likes devices)
I'd agree with the other opinion here. If you want to decide the winner in the real estate market (i.e. corner it), you're going to need even more money than even what SoftBank was providing. It comes back to what the parent was saying. There's just no getting around the mismatch between the VC model of high-risk, high-growth versus the capital-intensive and low-margin business of real estate.
This is one of the few features of Adobe Software I’ve been unable to replace. I use Adobe illustrators “trace image” tool for this every so often, and I’m excited to learn that I might finally have an alternative that isn’t overpriced malware!! I’m really looking forward to trying this out!

I've repeatedly said in this thread that the vaccine preps the immune system so that the body is able to fight off the real virus because it has already been prepped ahead of time. No vaccine can ever prevent infection because that's not how immune systems work. Being vaccinated does not prevent inhaling live viral particles. I'm curious to know why you think being infected even after vaccination is such a big deal?

Could axions be the solution to the dark matter puzzle?
I'm sometimes believe that full general purpose embracing of unicode for text, with no clean distinction between "machine-friendly" text versus "for human" natural language text (in every script since the dawn of time plus every goofy emoji anyone dreams up, with all the complexity these entail) is a major mistake that has lead computing astray. I fear, though, that it is impractical to separate these things, short of entirely shunning the latter, and tempting as it is I can't quite advocate a return to pure ASCII.

It's not a bug. It's a legacy artifact that cannot be changed easily because of backwards compatibility.
They are literally endorsing Bluetooth dongles with half a megabyte of proprietary ROM as "respecting your freedom". That goes a little beyond "tolerating", don't you think?
>The simple explanation is that it is psychosomatic

From the article:

"There are other reasons to think that purely psychosomatic reasons don’t explain what’s happened. For example, the first cases in Cuba were treated confidentially and didn’t appear in the news until six months later. And yet there were several different people suddenly seeing doctors for similar symptoms at almost the same time. Those symptoms came on rather suddenly and were reportedly accompanied by strange sounds. The affected people described those sounds as sharp, disorienting, or oddly focused."
If you read the official announcement for the German language (cited in the wiki article) there it states that SS is the capitalization of ß, but ẞ instead is permitted. So the standard Form is double S.

This is incorrect for modern diesels that have a DPF system and inject DEF fluid. The cats are required hardware. You may be allowed 50-250 miles without them then the vehicle will not operate. It is well within possibility that someone stealing your cat between two places in Texas could be a big problem for you.
