It’s not even old ones. Brand new ones often are made so cheaply and to such low standards that they have the same issues.

It’s why I never consider living in townhouses, duplexes, or apartments anymore. I have to not share a wall - otherwise I will definitely hear the neighbor. It’s guaranteed. Even in SFH, I still hear my neighbors - just don’t hear them walking around their house like I would in another type of home.
And for some reason it wasnt needed for a ICE car fire?
It's also common to say "just google things", but I'm fairly sure (and the domain is even free!) that if I buy justgooglethings.com and setup my own search engine there that Google will find issue with that sooner than later.

The same goes for something like Lego, just because people commonly call similar plastic bricks "lego" doesn't mean that they'll get away with it if they open a store to sell those bricks.
What's wrong with the built-in `vimtutor`?
Parked ICE cars _rarely_ catch fire just sitting parked. When they do it's usually electrical system issues that started a larger fire (I'm looking at you, VW, Audi). Battery fires commonly occur while at rest. More importantly, they can't be put out (and are accelerated) by common indoor sprinkler systems and the toxic fumes will keep you from getting close enough to use a Class D extinguisher anyway. Much unlike ICE cars.

Additionally, lithium batteries burn at 1000+ degrees vs gas fires which burn at hundreds and batteries tend to EXPLODE, whereas gas just burns unless the fire starts from inside the pressurized tank (which is virtually impossible).

I loved Flash, and I think that SVG, if I can create proper tools, has the potential to be as good and maybe to avoid some of the drawbacks.

In fact, I wrote Svija because I took a sabbatical from web design. When I came back, Flash was gone and I just couldn't stomach the idea of twenty years of HTML and CSS. So, SVG.

Hey, I'm 42, Father 81 and every time we visit his doctor (now it happens no less than 10 times a month) he refuses to use elevator and insists on walking to the second floor on his own feet (in fact also his hands - one for the stick and the other for the railings). He says: "I must train as much as I can".

I personally respect that and consider it to be the a sound choice. Not only this helps him to get some physical activity, but also a sense of control over his body and life which is a crucial thing to have in his age/situation. I really can't overestimate how important that is for his is deteriorating self-being. That allows him to keep some measure of self-respect and pride. At my 40 I started to understand that old people (I mean OLD, like 80+) are not strange yoda-like creatures from outer space (like I suspected when I was younger) but actually not different from us except for their bodies not working right anymore in many different ways and w/o any hope for getting better. Most of the time men feel pity and shame in such situation, no different from somebody younger. Whatever they can do to prove themselves their ability - I appreciate that.
That's true, but it's not answering the original question as asked. The original question says:

> So in layman's terms, what exactly does it mean to be transcendental? How would a transcendental number be different from an ordinary number, say 5.

Saying that you "can't write it down in terms of basic arithmetic" doesn't make clear what you mean by that, and I feel it would be unsatisfying for the original poster. To say you CWIDITOBA is not saying exactly what it means, and I can imagine the original poster coming back and asking ... "But what does that mean? What is basic arithmetic?"

The answer submitted here explains exactly that.
The patent on the original LEGO bricks was filed in the 50s and has long since expired. Reproducing them is not different from producing generic drugs. The innovation is in the models you design, and how well it is executed. And while production quality of the bricks is only now approaching levels comparable to LEGO, model design is an area where LEGO provides a wide opening for competitors.
Presuming population continues to rise, any currency whose volume does not rise at the same rate is de facto deflationary. Similarly, assuming an increasing supply of goods and services in the market, the same logic applies. It’s possible to have a currency that’s neither deflationary nor inflationary, but Bitcoin is not that.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
I haven't had much time for Blender lately and need to correct that. I also need to look more closely at the changes. I know something about an asset manager and a bunch of new nodes in the procedural geometry work, but beyond that I'm behind. And sadly Steam hasn't gotten the new binaries yet and I am lazy so like letting steam manage this one for me.
Right so your solution for the cleaning lady is for her to work 24 hours? Or double the hour rate? If the second, many of them would choose to work 8 or less hours to improve life quality.
I’ve noticed Airbnb removed the star ratings visibility on user reviews, so now we only get an average of all reviews and have to read through all existing reviews to figure out what issues there may be with a rental location.

I find that pretty deceitful, and it seems to incentivize high volume owners to ignore any customer support issues since a bad review will easily get buried.

A pretty bad sign of where that platform is heading.
What’s Weird about Substack
Agreed. It's an incredibly sad situation. He published a lot of high citation papers.
I've been using Win11 ARM via Parallels to play older 32bit games and some newer 64bit games. It's enabled me to continue my addiction to playing on P1999 Classic Everquest Server. At the moment the main problem has been a lack of GPU power (M1 Mac Mini). Although some games run into larger issues, I assume, with the GPU itself like Borderlands 2 & 3 having a stutter every 30 seconds or so regardless of graphical settings.

Although I imagine the problem with a lot of newer crap will be draconian DRM measures freaking out at being ran in Parallels. Which are games I will never buy.
I'm all for reduction in the size of bureaucracies and addressing financial issues realistically. I just strongly dislike when they create inflexibility with things like wage increase caps. It's a strong hammer aimed at a few well deserved targets but hits broadly across a wide group where it doesn't always make sense. It's like a one size fits all approach.

But I don't know enough about provincial politics to debate the policies. You seem to have a better grasp of that.
But.... in that example, wouldn't you actually care quite a bit about a flooded subway?
Oh huh, that looks very interesting, thanks! I imagine it's a VST plugin, I'll have to check it out next time I'm near a DAW.

Some people prefer guided tutorials that give you direct feedback (e.g. correct / incorrect).

`prettier`, `black`, `go fmt` and other opinionated formatters must have saved tens of thousands of man-hours.

No more fiddling with getting format juuuust right. Save the file and accept the result.

Sometimes it tries to break long lists that better stay horizontal or matrices into long lists, in which case, wrapping the block with `# fmt: on/off` saves the day.
One thing that gives me comfort when looking at “Legacy” games is they are upfront about the lack of replayability. I don’t feel deceived going into it.

With Lego, my expectation is to be able to take things apart, build Model B or create something new. This breaks the design principle and doesn’t do a good job of advertising it’s going to do so.

Not the OP, but they're probably referring to the Classic sets: https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Classic-Medium-Creative-Brick/dp... which exist in any possible size, full of bog standard bricks.

Personally, I don't think there has been a good faith dialog by our media and politicians about risk assessment, at-risk staying home (instead of everybody), therapeutics, treatment, or voluntary vaccinations. And maybe there has been some but the mRNA vaccines have completely dominated mindshare to a such a degree that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and has made me very cynical.
Google has engaged in similar tactics across all of their major platforms for years and years, it’s how Chrome catapulted into the top spot in the Blink of an eye. At one point you couldn’t visit any of their top sites without them begging you to download it and telling you it was the best browser ever. Whether you were searching for a browser or not.
I'm currently printing a 3D puzzle that probably won't be able to be taken apart (I think I made the gaps a bit too small, but we'll see).

But it makes business sense for Legos to do that (short term)... it is basically single-use and discard Legos.

I find these answers (mostly) refreshingly free of the Dog Rescue Nazis, who seem to troll anyone who mentions dogs in any context. Many of them operate "breed rescue groups." These groups are usually 501(c)(3) organizations and pay their chief officers a salary, which you can check on their IRS form 990.

* <Rant warning> *

These groups come to the public animal shelters at opening time and claim any dog of their preferred breed, before any of the public gets a chance at them. Or maybe the shelter staff calls them. The end result when I was looking for a dog was that the shelters have nothing but pit bulls and Chihuahuas, and the dogs that the public prefers are all marked "reserved" or just gone.

You can go to these innumerable rescue groups and fill out their four-page questionnaire, which they all has their own version of, all almost exactly the same. Then they apply their own ideas about who should have a dog and who shouldn't. Maybe they send someone out to look at your house & yard. I met someone at the dog park who'd had dogs all their lives, and they were rejected because their backyard fence wasn't high enough. More likely, "your" dog isn't available anymore.

There is a Survivor Bias happening in all these happy stories about the wonderful dog someone got from a rescue group. You never read about all the dogs with terrible behavior problems that got returned to the shelter; the ones whose personalities were irretrievably ruined by abuse in their puppyhood.

So the question is: who appointed these people to be gatekeepers? And why are we all subsidizing their hobby?

What did I do, by the way? I went to a Labrador breeder, who questioned me closely on my situation. The puppies are cared for a family with children, which gave them the socialization every puppy needs. And I know my dog's never had anything but love and kindness, something you definitely do not know with a rescue.

Wonder if EVs could come with built-in extinguishers... maybe just for the battery compartment. Would CO2 work?

Probably not remotely practical.
Sure a burning car isn't good for you, but lithium metal is famously toxic and will cause severe GI & neurological problems and is potentially fatal.
Thursday: ortzegun (L LN HN), orzegun (L LN), ostegun (G HN LN), ostégün (Z), ostégun (R), orzégun (R) n. ‘Thursday’. 1617. + egun ‘day’. This word, which looks so much like a calque of Lat. Jovis dies ‘Thursday’ (lit., ‘day of Jupiter’), possibly provides some support for the idea, discussed above, that the first element might once have been the name of a sky-god or a thunder-god. But a calque along the lines of ‘thunder-day’ also appears plausible. However, M. (1972f: 307) points out that a derivation from bortz ~ bost ‘five’ + egun ‘day’ would be formally perfect, by P9, and semantically acceptable if the days of the week are counted from Sunday. See also ortzirale, below, and see eguen (under egun).

Friday: ortzirale (L LN), ortzilare (L LN R), orzirale (L), orzilare HN LN R), ostirale (LN), osti(r)ále (Z), ostrále (R), orziláre (R), ostiral (G) n. ‘Friday’. 1622. Final element obscure. See also barikua {~ bariaku under afari.}

Saturday: larunbat (G HN L LN), laurenbat (old B G), laranbate (old LN *) ** n. ‘Saturday’. ** [FHV 95, 491, 501] Many have seen this as laurden ‘quarter’ (see lau [1]) + bat ‘one’, since Saturday completes the week, and a week is roughly one quarter of a month. But M. **{(1971b),} (1977a: 491) cautiously suggests a derivative of lagun ‘companion’, perhaps *lagunen bate ‘gathering of companions’, + -en {[1]} Gen. + a verbal noun from batu ‘get together’ (see bat). Cf. neskanegun (under neska).

Sunday: igande (G HN L LN), igánte (Z R) n. ‘Sunday’. 1545. + -te {[1]} NFS (M. **{1971b: 586 n.12}). Though phonologically perfect, this etymology is semantically odd, and it is not certain, but it seems likely. The original sense was app. ‘ascension (day)’. Cf. Russian voskresén’e ‘Sunday’, originally ‘resurrection’. See domeka.*

These are all from R. L. Trask (2008) "Etymological Dictionary of Basque".

* Chance of catching it?

* Peak viral load, GIVEN catching it?

* Duration of peak viral load, GIVEN catching it?

* Severe disease, GIVEN catching it?

* Hospital stay, GIVEN catching it?

* Death, GIVEN catching it?

There are many relevant parameters that the vaccines might affect. And the vaccinated people have a few parameters: number of shots, time since last shot, age, etc. People seem to focus on one or two of these questions at a time.

From your link, actually, related to duration:

"Fully vaccinated individuals with delta variant infection had a faster (posterior probability >0·84) mean rate of viral load decline (0·95 log10 copies per mL per day) than did unvaccinated individuals with pre-alpha (0·69), alpha (0·82), or delta (0·79) variant infections."

Clearly it's not going to stop transmission, but it could slow it down. People on both sides of this issue seem to undervalue partial measures and tradeoffs.

So far it's been mainly small businesses who just want to put up a cheap website quickly.

I can turn a PDF flyer into a website in a couple of hours, and that's been really popular.

It's so fast to put up a site that it would be good for events, like album release parties, etc.

I'm hoping to find a company that would really like to explore the potential — with a good team we could do some amazing stuff.

The long term goal is to make a tool to replace Illustrator and just build regular websites using hybrid SVG/HTML pages (SVG as much as possible, HTML for text/search/accessibility reasons).

Constructive feedback: the first sentence isn't necessary. People will only see the anger and not the actual point. The second sentence stands on its own.
The Tyranny of Structurelessness literally says power structures are inevitable and when a group has no explicit structure an elite will form from either a pre-existing network or an informal network of those who are good at networking and match whatever qualities the larger group deems as "good".

So quoting that seemed to be about making the point that in the absence of formal, structured regulation decided through a well-defined process what happen is that you get elite insiders exerting control for their own reasons which may or may not benefit the general group, and without any oversight at all.

Both articles were in favour of formal structures with accountability and open processes that allow for changes when required, and against unstructured groups that invariably wind up controlled by unelected elites.

It's experiences like that that teach me to not just follow the instructions but to think about how I would do it, then follow the instructions. It's a delicate balance of blindly following instructions (which is essential-- oftentimes I think I see a better way and start to do it only to realize later on it's not going to work and there was a reason they did it their way) and thinking for yourself, which in your example would probably have sped things up.
It serves as emphasis. Most people have interpreted "caffeine has a half-life of X hours" to mean "oh so it's fine to have it just X hours before bed.

By explicitly calling out the quarter-life, it prompts people to think if a quarter of the amount would still affect them.
Hmm. that's aweful list of things to revert back. Sure it seems difficult to revert back in production systems.

Totally agree re:short snout problems. I was shocked recently to see several pictures of short-nosed Rottweilers with what looks like a tendency to have noses that seem to be trending in pug-like direction.

OTOH, I may be done with working line shepherds for the rest of my life. But enjoy!
if the white is blinding, isn't it because your screen is too bright?

If you force me a reduced contrast, I can't adjust. If you give me black on white, I can always set my screen at a comfortable level for me.

With reduced contrast, you also might force me to increase the brightness of my non OLED screen, which will use draw more power from my battery.
The point of enabling that option is that users want you to use the relay so they don't have to give you their real email address. If you're just trying to send an email, why isn't the relay acceptable?

They weren't successful and influential because of that.

They were able to do that because of relative privilege, whether earned by their success or of birth or chance (that likely was key to enabling their succeess/influence) or, most often, a mixture of the two.

I had a lot of legos when I was a child. I kept them and gave them to my son a few years ago. They still mostly work just fine. I also bought new legos for my son, and the quality in the newer pieces is degrading at an alarming rate. A few pieces got too lose and simply don't connect anymore. Some arms from minifigures are extremely loose and will soon not be able to maintain a pose. None of my old legos are loose like that in the arm, although some traditional pieces are indeed barely sticking. Things are getting to the point where some of the newer pieces are already in worse quality than pieces I bought in 1992 and used for years and years. I'm sad, I don't think his son will be able to inherit his legos.
I believe the current best is Mould King or Decool? At least for Technic sets. But check out r/lepin on Reddit and people will be talking about all of the alternative brick manufacturers, and people will say which ones are the best.

A big issue seems to be that what is "readable" to one person isn't necessarily "readable" to someone else, and you end up with endless yakyak over whether the braces should be inline with the `if` statement or not.

My take is that some compromise is key: Yes, there are some standards that objectively make code easier to understand. But you should also learn to read code that isn't written exactly as you'd like it to be. And try to stay consistent with the overall style.
yeah not good... and the only reason I started to save my previous passwords is because of Google. It is the only company that I know of that uses obsolete data to verify that you are the account holder.
