Checksums are super useful, too - if you build the project yourself, you can get the checksum, and if it's different than the one in the store, you can ask questions.

A web of trust style checksum confirmation network would be invaluable for browser extensions. Building that into a browser's security model would be great - an extension has to be validated with a minimum score or it's disabled unless manually activated.
Whitespace is the term.

And some clients expect that whitespace is not included in string length. "I asked to put 50 letters in this box, why can I only put 42?" would not be an unexpected complaint when working with clients. Even if you manage to convey that spaces are something funny called "characters", they might not understand that newlines are characters as well. Or emojis.
Yes Fuchsia, also why the downvotes? strange!

Pixel perfect mono depth generation seems an extremely hard problem.

There are two German words that uppercase to the same: Masse (physical unit, measured in kg usually: mass) and Maße (plural of Maß: measurement). So downcasing MASSE either requires understanding the text or results in a superposition.
Interestingly, consider the late victoria period. Here there were no problems distinguishing between Road and Street because the vehicles involved were quite different. A steam train did not drive to your house or shop, and a horse and carriage would not make a cross country freight (well it did happen ...)

I believe this does work for German (or at least I can't think of an example where it doesn't). But a case I can think of where it doesn't work is with standard modern Greek. In all-caps words, accents are omitted, while at least Python's implementation of casefold produces non-equal strings for the all-caps and lowercase versions:

>>> str.casefold("παράδειγμα")
'παράδειγμα'

>>> str.casefold("ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΓΜΑ")
'παραδειγμα'

It's at least consistent with this, though:

>>> str.upper("παράδειγμα")
'ΠΑΡΆΔΕΙΓΜΑ'

But I'd consider that incorrect, or at least nonstandard. The Greek alphabet does have accented versions of capital letters, but they can only be used as the first letter of a word in mixed case (e.g. if a sentence starts with έλα, you write it Έλα), never in the middle of a capitalized word. However maybe this slides too far to the "language" rather than "encoding" side of the space that Unicode considers outside of its purview.

If you have the average 2 children with the average ~ 3 years between children, then these concerns are only relevant for roughly 21 years of life. If the average person lives to 80 and becomes an adult at 18, then you have 62 years as an adult. Only about a third of that time is spent caring for your children. That's still 40 years remaining. None of that has to happen on a place with large lot sizes and good schools for the kids, even if you concede that having kids requires large lot sizes and good schools.
A neighborhood street that literally cannot allow through traffic is not really conducive for high-traffic stores, but really more like low-traffic uses like a convenience store or a hair salon or a daycare, many of which also generally tend to be prohibited by overly restrictive residential zoning.

> After 20 years in California, I have unlearned a lot of this.

Hmm, I’m curious which part. If anything, I seem to notice even more of this tendency in much of Southern California compared to the upper Midwest where I also grew up. The opposite is probably the case in the SF area, however, and possibly the Bay Area in general.
According to the Buddha, one should not kill any sentient being, sentient being defined as made up of the five skandhas: matter, sensation, perception, mental formations and consciousness.

I had a very easy time following this rule until my houseplants were attacked by spider mites and almost simultaneously my rats attacked by a different species of mites. How does one watch the beings (I don't apply "being" to the plants but do to my rats) they love be drained of their vitality by other beings and refuse to intervene? Is it right?

My wife, who is not a Buddhist, intervened, and both rats and plants survived but this experience deeply shook me. One might say I am experiencing a crisis of faith.
That doesn't strike me as empathy - I'm not villifying it either, but it's more about personal psychological needs than the needs of others (which lumps it in with most behavior of course, hence not villifying it).

Sure, for their mental model of other people they're being nice (and in some cases they actually are) - but not everybody has the same mind or preferences. True empathy is built on understanding that.
Then explain it in terms of the benefit. "I noticed it was hard to add features like <xyz> and I'm going to make it much faster, easier and more reliable for next time"

From what that page describes, it appears Twitter's algorithm is in fact "number of unicode code points" except for specific carve-out cases which are so obscenely unfair by that metric as to justify counting differently. E.g. counting Unihan characters as two makes the 280 character limit in these languages be approximately the same limit on information as western languages, since they are about twice as compact in terms of information density. And emojis are an insane amount of unicode code points, particularly when modifiers are applied. Etc.

I think 3MF has some real practical benefits as outlined in the article. It may take a lot of file space, but that can be solved in a new version, specified in the header files, in the same way it was done with STL.

As with any format, the tooling needs to develop, and then C++ is not a bad idea to write a library in I think.

I guess there's space for both file formats tbh. If you are sure your STL is correct, and are sure about the dimensioning, go for it. If you want to be a little safer, go for 3MF, with the drawback of a little larger filesize.
Don't you also need Spectre/Meltdown mitigation on microkernel IPC if an untrusted process is involved?

> the reforms were good

Please read the article I linked to, to understand why the farmer's objected to these farm laws. The biggest problem was that democratic and parliamentary norms were not followed in passing those laws. Can you believe that a game changing law like this, was passed abruptly, without any review by any parliamentary committee or even a discussion in the Parliament!? That is why people became rightly suspicious of the intentions behind the laws, and highlighted loopholes in it that seemed to be designed to benefit the corporate, at the expense of farmers and consumers.
we do have roads where we prohibit driveways onto them. They're called Interstates. somehow we don't have massive issues with people illegally building driveways onto them.

It kills me that US road planners don't even bother putting in medium-term solutions that would fix most of the issues, like a road with separated through lanes in the middle and a one-lane service road for the driveways.
I just follow habit stacking from the book Atomic Habits. It has been very effective so far.
Sounds like a derivative from a road style which has (mostly, thankfully) been abandoned: originally, “suicide lanes” designated the center lane of a 3-lane.

A 3-lane is a road design where you’ve got one lane in each direction, and a shared passing lane in the middle.

These used to be quite popular as they were not much more expensive than a 2-lane but allowed better throughput, however as density and speeds increased they became more and more deadly as they’d encourage trying to pass and high-speed frontal collisions.

They’re mostly gone now, replaced by either 2+2 or 2+1 (the latter is very popular in europe, it’s basically a 3-lane except there’s a hard barrier which regularly swaps the center lane’s direction to allow safe passing sections — or more rarely a 1+1 with a protected turn lane).

I think you meant to say "law-abiding citizen".
hm, yeah, you're right, the foundation is strongly codepoints and it seems they otherwise rely on the normalization rule.
I do think #4 is worse than #2. There is extremely little useful information one can get by knowing the code points but not the grapheme clusters, and even for text editing these are confusing - if I move the cursor right starting before è, i definitely don't want to end up between e and `.
Not sure where to start...

1. These are case reports. Like... three (and they didn't all get the mRNA covid vaccine). The most likely explanation is that these happened by random chance.

2. This is about Herpes Zoster, not the "normal" Herpes Simplex. There already is a vaccine for Herpes Zoster.

> Not everyone is young, healthy and rich enough to bike.

In the same way curb cuts improved the well being of way more than people in wheelchair, good, grade-separated walking and biking infrastructure makes moving around much easier and safer for way more than just cyclists.

Not everyone is young, healthy, and rich enough to be able to own and operate a 2.5t vehicle at high speed. And where walkers, wheelchairs, and other assisting devices can mix with little difficulty with bike traffic, that’s not the case with high-speed road traffic.
I bet that Hot Fuzz fans greatly approve of the name.
> We value this calm so much that we refuse to admit shopping or even multi-family housing to them, for fear of disturbing it.

With single-family zoning being the overwhelming norm in the U.S, it would be unfair to call this a refusal - the supply is artificially constrained. Had multi-family housing been legal to build, then it's pretty likely that people would move into them at higher rates.
I have just heard about Seneca dying in a stem bath, but that was more by accident (he committed suicide by cutting his wrists but that was taking too long so he wanted the heat to speed up blood extraction. He however died of suffocation)

How was that suicide supposed to work? (suffocation like Seneca did?)

I hope you can checkout my new project, that allow Instagram users to create a collages from their photos.

the site require a sing up (sorry for that) the reason is it's a requirement from Facebook to approve the site.

the Idea came to me when I created a wallpaper grid from my friend's Instagram, and everyone saw the wallpaper like it and they kept ask me to create something similar for them.

I created the site for everyone to use, and I hope to here from you, and red your feedback. and thank you.

It is not a bug. That very character was submitted to Unicode by none other than DIN (the German national standardization organization) [1] and it was clearly indicated that the capital eszett should be encoded without case folding to the original eszett (p. 4). As others mentioned the capital eszett is allowed but not enforced, so DIN didn't want to break the original case mapping between ß and SS. And because of the Unicode stability policy [2], it can no longer be made into a case pair even though DIN changes its mind.

We have to? Why? Who or what requires this of us and by what mechanism do they enforce this requirement?

How much further do we have to take it? What determines this limit?

You might not find this as self-consistent as you think.

Ants are intelligent enough to form civilization. (I think the only other species than humans.)

I admire the jainist (?) philosophy of not killing, but it does seem incredibly impractical, to the point of being stupid even. How do you avoid killing mites on the ground when you go out for a walk?
If you can see it, you can copy it.

Maybe shit like webassembly will change that, but for now, steal away.
>But they choose not to. US population is roughly 1/2 suburban, 1/4 rural, and 1/4 urban. Which backs up my point.

With single-family zoning being the norm in the U.S, it would be unfair to call this a choice. The supply of other types of housing is severely constrained.
Yes ,don't cook lobsters alive I would say.

Most animals can definitely feel pain, maybe even insects.

Don't cause them unnecessary pain.

It's pretty said that the so called most intelligent animal species needs laws to understand that.
> prayers are not lost to the woods.

I'm what you'd describe as a weak agnostic.

Over the last few years I've heard some abstract arguments that "prayer" and "god" might be some very old, emergent ideas of early humanity's ability to bargain with the future.

I'm still not completely clear on it, and I still don't pray, but it's in the back of my mind.

What are your thoughts on "prayers are not lost to the woods"?
It's illegal to build them under most zoning laws in the U.S.
I don’t think Carmack is the type to fall under the guiding hand of a large organization like Meta/Facebook. That has never been how he operated his entire career. He would have found some reason to disassociate imho, but such is the case with anyone with modest anti-authority issues (it has other benefits of course, but, the good comes with the bad).
The fact that the original comment and both replies to it, all use old.reddit, proves the HackerNews demographic :P
(building and) Running a search engine is a huge expense. Running a search marketing engine is a huge expense. If it turns out well, running both of those gives you a printing press for money, so maybe it's worthwhile. If it doesn't turn out well, it may not pay for itself and it may screw up the Google revenue deal. Existential risk that's hard to plan. I wouldn't do it if I were them.

Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a lot of folks there with relevant experience, so that's hiring a big new team to bet the farm on. Not my cup of tea (but then, I'm risk averse)

The idea that they wouldn't exist if not 'made for food' sounds like a pretty anthropocentric view, what do you base that view on? Aren't cows competing in the same genetic race for survival every other species is? They certainly aren't like a fruit that's designed to be appealing for consumption - except perhaps for the selective breeding we've done since domestication.
Good point. But I would argue that we refrain from killing each others because it's no longer in our best interest to do so. We can afford to feed everyone and give everyone a decent life without killing each other. Also saving people gives us a bigger pool of talented people and diverse genetics.

When we cannot give each other a decent life, we resort to mass killing (even today) - think of all the wars started due to hunger or ethnic reasons.

My point was that we are responsible for the safety and prosperity of each other, not any animal. We have no obligation towards the safety of some animal. Evolution tells us that we have to care about the survival of our species. And in certain cases, we will help animals but primarily where helping them helps us (for example, to maintain stable ecosystem).

As for dogs and cats, we use them for our benefit - we feed them, protect them, give them a good life for our own benefit - because they have evolved to make them seem cute and domesticating them makes us happy and gives us mental comfort. This makes them happy at the same time (but that's a side-effect, not the intended effect in most cases)

In Mexico there are still a good number of 3-lane roads where the middle lane is for passing in both directions. A close family friend died on one: head-on collision with a truck passing a truck on a curving mountain road. (He was an aggressive driver who got lucky for decades until one day he finally didn’t.) Truly horrible road design.
> The catch is that curved edges are a pain in the ass to fit furniture

This isn't true.

Can you seriously link to a domed house that went for even equal to a similar house?

A domed house we looked at went for at least double similar market value.

If this was remotely true as the limiting factor we'd have domed sheds which are a mess anyway and they look very cool (because no one has them)

I put heaps of money into making my house interesting. Every kid who visits the family friend with the dome house will remember that forever.

Domed houses/buildings cost a lot to build currently after 50+ year of schemes to make them cheap. Inflatable balloons with concrete pumped on top is another example.
> By contrast, Jimbo the night-shift line cook at Waffle House has significantly less margin for error. If he doesn't show up to work, he at best doesn't get paid and at worst gets fired. If he gets fired, he's now behind on his rent, plus he has to fix his car with money he doesn't have. He might need to take out a payday loan, or sell something important, or borrow money from family who is just as poor as he is.

This is in large parts because of the cruel society the US chose to build even though the economy is developed enough to support a less exploitative model. I’m not saying poverty and hard lives don’t exist outside the US, but being fired from your minimum wage job because you called in sick once which kickstarts a series of events which has a very real chance of making you become homeless and without health insurance is a uniquely US-specific thing.

FYI, depending on where you live, charitable donations can have tax-benefits (i.e. in the form of a deduction). It can be worth making sure you're donating to charities which are enrolled in such programs. For example, Singapore has a 250% tax deductions on donations (this is pretty extreme though, I'd bet there are very few countries with > 100%).

I think you'd find most people donate based on what's touched their lives, e.g. breast cancer research if you lost a loved on to breast cancer.

If you believe climate change is the existential crisis, then that's a good avenue to explore. e.g., https://www.rainforestcoalition.org/
Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and the streaming service offered by one of the local networks here.

I find the fragmentation irritating, especially when some of the shows I want to watch straight up aren't available (eg. HBO Max isn't available in my country) despite having subscribed to pretty much every big streaming service. I don't get why they can't figure out licensing and distribution beforehand.

I agree that at some point the costs will rival cable subscriptions, but the lack of ads, ability to pick what I want to watch, option to cancel on a whim and availability of actual good content (even if the library is diluted by a ton of nonsense) is appealing to me for streaming services. I have no doubt though that as costs go up adoption will likely go down across the board as people either give up or resort to account sharing or piracy.
Easy enough to normalize the terminology for length to mean character count and size to mean byte capacity.
In Swift a character is a grapheme cluster, and so the length (count) of a string is in fact the number of grapheme clusters it contains.

The number of codepoints (which is almost always useless but what some languages return) is available through the unicodeScalars view.

The number of code units (what most languages actually return, and which can at least be argued to be useful) is available through the corresponding encoded views (utf8 and utf16 properties)
The whole point of stigmatization is that it makes people feel better about themselves and inserts them into a camp of other people who also stigmatize a certain group, giving them a sort of inclusivity. All else is rationalizations for the actions of the emotions.
