What’s the deal? The font-size declaration in the style attribute was invalid, and Chromium allowed it, in direct contravention of both the SVG 1.1 and 2 specs, while Firefox disallowed it.

SVG 1.1 extends CSS 2’s font-size value to allow a unitless number on a font-size SVG attribute <https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#FontSizeProperty>, but when you specify it as a CSS style it must follow the CSS declaration form, which means that non-zero lengths must include a unit—<https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/styling.html#StyleAttribute> even explicitly mentions font-size as its example on this point.

SVG 2 removes the unitless number extension and defers to CSS Fonts Module Level 3 entirely for font-size, so that unitless non-zero numbers aren’t permitted even in a font-size attribute.

All up, it’s a bad example that doesn’t support the thesis in the slightest, because a rookie error was made. (There’s still something in the fact that such an error could be made so easily, but it’s not that big a deal, certainly not enough to suggest that text is unreliable beyond the fact that you don’t know what fonts are available.)

Text in SVG is just as good as text in HTML, except inasmuch as nothing implements runtime (font-dependent) line wrapping, so it’s kinda more like HTML with white-space:nowrap.

The interactions between presentation attributes and style properties are a bit fiddly and sometimes unclear. Take something like <rect x="2" y="2" width="calc(100% - 4px)" height="calc(100% - 4px)"/>; it’s not quite clear to me whether this is valid in SVG 1.1, though I think it should be in SVG 2. It works in both Firefox and Chromium, though Firefox logs a claim that it’s invalid in the dev tools. <rect style="x:2px;y:2px;width:calc(100% - 4px);height:calc(100% - 4px)"/>, on the other hand, is definitely fine.

Yes, it's limited by the constitution as I indicated in the final sentence.
I think the theme is ‘you can’t do arrays; the best approximation is made of trees, hence log n in the size of the array vs 1’.
I've been to a few Psychologists, and two Psychiatrists.

I asked the first one about his fee. I went in not knowing. I had this horrid anxiety that just wouldn't go away. He says, "pay me what you think I'm worth."

I was in such angony, but did't want to piss this guy off. He had a good reputation. He offered no medication, and had this rediculious theory my anxiety was post traumatic syndrome from the '88 earthquake.

Anyway ge told me his fee was $450.00. I paid it and left.

I saw a Phd. Psychologist I found in the yellow pages. I talked and talked. I cried, and cried. Nothing was stopping the daily anxiety.

I ended up finding a Psychiatrist who didn't rape me on price. He put me on two very addictive drugs, and I've been on them decades. The mandatory appointments are tedious. I get absolutely nothing out of them. I've been on the same dose, so I think i'm just addicted, and any perceived pharmaceutical help
is placebo.

Anyway--unless you hear voices (really bad voices that are bothering you greatly I added that tidbit about voices because they found schizophrenics do better long term without meds), or ready to commit suicide; I would stay away from the entire profession.

Oh yea, in your twenties and thirties, they are rough decades. If you don't bust a gasket consider yourself lucky.

If I had a do over, I don't think I would have ever seeked help. It's kinda a joke. It's definitely an art.
They should already provide sources for all the GPL licensed bits to be compliant - build scripts and bootloader keys are usually the biggest problem.
The Asus RT-N66U was released on ‎December 22, 2011 according to Amazon,[1] and the last official firmware update was on June 18, 2020.[2] That's 8.5 years of support (assuming no future updates) compared to the OnHub's 7-7.5 years.

More importantly, the Asus RT-N66U is still fully functional and still supported on the Asus Router mobile app.[3] Unlike OnHub, Asus routers that run on non-Google firmware have a web interface so the network settings will continue to be adjustable even after app support ends.

Older Asus routers, including the RT-N66U, tend to be supported by open source firmware like DD-WRT.[4] OnHub is not.

Reviews are meaningless, they have been for a long time now. The right way to do reviews is off site because that is the only way to guarantee impartiality.

One of my reviews was removed once because it mentioned the author lacked expertise in the domain he was commenting on. It was about AI and the author was a historian. I recommended people skip the chapters about AI but apparently that was too critical.
I've seen impressive amounts of code written to get around one line bugs that could be trivially fixed, if only reported. One time, the LOC of the workaround basically matched the LOC of the tool, with the workaround implementing a full parser to consume the output of the tool, rather than just directly loading the json the tool was consuming. I used to get frustrated at these things, but I've become a bit demented, reveling in the asinine, self inflicted, suffering that I sometimes witness. Watching people copy paste code changes, rather than using git, is an infinite source of entertainment that's seemingly impossible to stop.
The B2 bomber photo isn't from a push boom sensor, because it would be distorted since it's moving relative to the camera. This would manifest itself as a shear along the motion vector . There is no shear in this photo, only spectral bands.

I've spent a number of years doing image orthorectification, and satellite imagery post-processing, then also worked on Google Earth and Google Maps, so I can tell you precisely what happened. This is a satellite image from a satellite which photographs different spectra at different times. There isn't enough parallax at typical orbital distance for this much displacement to come from multiple cameras. Looking at some parked cars, this looks like 20-30cm resolution per pixel, which is consistent with the newer earth imaging satellites.

Google Earth made a blog post about this a while ago (https://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2015/03/planes-flig...)
Do you mean luminance? Alpha usually refers to the transparency channel in an RGBA image.

Javascript was added to PDF in order to implement interactive and dynamic forms, including input validation and normalization and dynamically adding/removing form elements based on user interaction. The contents of forms can also be directly submitted to a server. Basically, Adobe didn’t want HTML forms to steal their show, so they implemented the equivalent with PDF. Not saying that was a good idea, but here you go.
Wornick, which makes most of the real MREs, used to sell a civilian version. Their brand was "MIL-SPEC", and then "Eversafe". Now they don't seem to want to sell those at retail, probably because they normally ship by the shipping container load and the eBay resellers can't handle that much product.

Everybody seems to be out of stock on civilian MREs right now, except for resellers who are doubling the price. (Each meal is worth about $6.) The people selling "surplus" MREs are usually selling expired ones.

The chicken-based ones are usually pretty good. The pasta-based ones, not so much.

> maybe it's calculating how to minimize threads on the fly completely clientside by iterating over the DOM, and maybe that's why the buttons don't work with JS disabled

Holy crud, I just opened the JS up and this is actually what it's doing. Heck me and my little 'not going to contradict you' statements, you might just be completely entirely right about what's going on I guess.

function kidvis (tr, hide) {
var n0 = ind(tr), n = ind(kid1(tr)), coll = false;
if (n > n0) {
while (tr = kid1(tr)) {
if (ind(tr) <= n0) {

I'm still going to reassert that any architecture that leads to someone doing this kind of logic every time a button is pressed is neither simple nor elegant, and at best this is an example of making architectural sacrifices and introducing complexity for the sake of performance; there's no way that this kind of page logic is easier to maintain or to understand than something built around a more semantic structure.

It's also definitely not easier on the client, I've seen some comments on here argue that HN might use all this weird stuff to save client battery life, and I feel more confident now saying that's not the reason, because if someone is somehow, someway legitimately in some incredible situation where they're actually worried about the battery drain of a browser rendering a table vs a some extra CSS, then this is not the code you would want to run every single time you press a button on the page.

But yeah, the "we just base everything off of an indentation integer and comment order" theory does seem a lot more plausible to me now, because I'm having a somewhat difficult time thinking why else collapsing comments would work this way.

>Writing an emulator for a 36-bit computer in Javascript has special challenges because Javascript provides only 32-bit bit operations. In addition some operands on a KI10 may be up to 71 bits long. As a result bit testing and manipulation must be done with the help of other operators such as division and modulo, and some operands must be split into multiple parts. I hate to think what this does for performance. However if you do encounter performance issues then just upgrade your PC. They are significantly faster and cheaper than a real DECsystem-10, and just imagine the savings in power consumption!

Matt Gaetz is a single person. The linked article shows that this was an institutional problem at the WHO involving corrupt management. So the analogy is flawed. Also the sex abuse isn't the only thing wrong with the WHO.
It just seemed somewhat contradictory because the limitations placed by the Constitution specifically are designed to prevent the rule by majority statement you made in the beginning.

They have changed a default, though.

I would not consider that a mere change to the default.
Does anybody know if Google will shut down all your accounts in retaliation if you try to enforce consumer rights laws on them?

In this case I'm thinking about the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK) which has a 7 year time limit for goods not fit for purpose (which a router that only lasted 2 years definitely counts as).

Shame we don't know what the delay between spectra is, would be fun to work out how fast the plane is traveling.
In the United States the Overton window is shifted such that most mainstream politicians (except Bernie Sanders, AOC, and similar characters) are liberal in the European sense i.e. capitalist.

In our terminology, the republicans are "conservative" and democrats are "liberal" and those terms are used interchangeably with left/right in the mainstream.

US leftists (demsoc, socialists, communists, etc.) use the European definitions and hate on liberals/neolibs while most on the right use US terminology and would probably call socialists and communists "liberals".
Aren't roughly 10% of people alcoholics? And I imagine that percentage is similar across the world, despite widely varying cultures.

Edit: I recall reading somewhere that 25% of people who use heroin develop addictions. Let's say that we are as successful at developing a culture of heroin use as we have been at developing a culture of alcohol use so that we can reduce addiction to 10%. It seems likely to me that any such culture would more than triple the number of people using heroin, so the overall effect is probably to increase the number of addicts.
Yes, collects.

I know that the city tells you not to put those things in the blue bin, but it's full of that junk. Then a bunch of stuff they say they recycle isn't really recycled, or gets tossed because it's contaminated.
In what world is a dignified life confined to a 200 square ft. home? That is the size of these tiny homes and I think the consensus on whether they are sufficient is very clear. The bottom line is that the comfortable class of Americans holds nothing sacred and would sooner have its elders die off earlier than have a sense of decency. It’s absolutely disgusting.

What’s dying is classical feature engineering: complex ad-hoc pipelines created to manipulate and transform data to improve a specific model.

Contemporary machine learning instead prefers to create complex model architectures and loss functions which imbue certain inductive biases that guide a model toward learning useful transformations.

In this way, modern machine learning is just “meta” feature engineering. It’s one level abstracted, but still feature engineering under the hood.

Of course feature engineering will always be around, especially in the abstract sense of “transforming data”, which the OP alludes to with examples like transforming CCD sensor readings to RGB pixel space.

Launch: Grouphub – A website that compiles group chats on various platforms
Hi, I am Hunter, co-founder of Grouphub Technology. I have been working on this website Grouphub: http://grouphub.app for months and I am really excited to share it with you.

Grouphub is a cross-platform website that compiles group chats on Groupme, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack and Others. For this version, it is exclusively for college students. Students can find and share group chat invitation links with others from the same college. Grouphub is a community in and of itself, as people can follow each other and keep up with the group chats being uploaded.

I hope this website could help people get connected with others in the same community. Please let me know if there is anything that I should change or what features I should add. Thanks.

Mine has Google Maps because my 1st gen iPad had it, and so I would have had to take action to not end up with two maps apps. iOS maps were not well regarded at first, in case you don't remember that far back.
There is this ever present desire to constantly learn. I have no idea where it comes from. Haven't always felt that way but I know it affects most people I interact with. Some point to social media and the constant need to keep up. Maybe that's it. In any case, I've found it to be an issue. Continuously trying to learn has brought me to a point where I was skipping around too much and not learning anything. Depth of engagement got a lot better when I stopped to focus on things I was doing.

This led me to take a break at the end of November. I have classes I'm planning to take in January. But so far the last few weeks have been nice forcing myself to _not_ look up tutorials or read articles on new tech stacks or project. I'd recommend it to anyone else who feels that weight of learning. Or anyone who may be trying to squeeze training into small segments of time. I guess I'd call it learning downtime.

Come January though, I'm jumping into self studied math (which I haven't studied since college), a bit of web dev (probably Rails), and a new language (maybe Russian).

You said "people", "they", and "them" -- all plural. Did you talk to them separately, one-on-one, or were they afraid of being denounced by each other?
But harm falls disproportionately on the less-intelligent, that was my point in bringing it up in the first place. If you are intelligent and disciplined you are better positioned to use drugs in a way that doesn't lead to harm.

> Recent research using 1992 to 2011 National Health Interview Survey data combined with data from the National Vital Statistics System indicates
that the recent drug overdose epidemic—driven largely by
prescription opioids and heroin—has implications for life
expectancy differences by education level. Specifically, while
drug overdose deaths have grown for all education groups,
those with less than a high school education lost the most years of life. Overdose deaths now represent a substantial share of the widening inequality in life expectancy by education level.
If you actually care about performance you should be generating batches of output and pulling entropy out of it, not invoking the PRNG every time you need a random byte. The icache and dcache impact of running all that prng code is going to eat into the performance of your actual software in a way that microbenchmarks won't show. So the need to do that with chacha isn't necessarily a problem, it may be pushing you towards a better design.
> Not really, because in Bohmian mechanics the wave function is nomological, ie. not real, and merely describes a law of motion.

I don't see that that's a meaningful/objective distinction? The wavefunction is certainly physically meaningful in the sense that you can't predict experimental results without computing its behaviour (or something equivalent to it). I don't think that you can reduce your number of postulates by declaring parts of your theory "not real" - given that elementary particles are not directly observable, couldn't we just declare that e.g. electrons are "not real" and merely describe a law of experimental results?

> Since you mentioned Bohmian mechanics, the Born rule was derived from the postulates a long time ago

It's not really derived, rather something equivalent to the Born rule is included as one of those postulates. At some point you have to go from wavefunction to probability distribution, and you either make the rule for that an outright postulate or have some plausible but unsatisfactory argument about how dynamical evolution makes this the "right" rule. Different interpretations do this at different points, but they all have to do it somewhere.
They were well engineered for the purpose of being a cheap car that could be easily maintained and kept ready with the state of infrastructure and supply chains in the 1970s USSR. It's no 2010s Mercedes

Central planning crap can make great products for very, very narrow definition of "fine" that sometimes just so happens to line up with what someone needs. It's really crap at figuring out what to make or what combination of subjective attributes make for a thing people want.

One was provided already by another poster. I don't even need to give more because that should be sufficient.

But if you want to dig further, you should look at the timeline of the WHO's actions and see how slow they were to recommend masks, recommend border closures, and declare a pandemic, then ask yourself if they helped or hurt our efforts to contain COVID throughout 2020. No citation is needed for that, it's all in the public domain - their press conferences and their Twitter.
And yet most people who OD on heroin or otherwise ruin their lives due to it are not PhDs.

Sounds like it's totally possible for the software to have full control

Yes, so you can go to the software vendor's "Ideas" or "Suggestions" page and ask for this, and post in forums asking people to upvote it, and hope the devs will do it. Not a great workaround. And sure, someone developed a script to get rid of this but no one is all that happy when Windows does something user-unfriendly that only a regedit hack will get rid of either.
Don’t worry. The article is broadly complimentary to the scientific wonder which is the MRE, but does dutifully report several of the many less than complimentary nicknames they have acquired from their primary user base over the years.
Maybe I’m crazy but I loved a lot of MREs, even after eating them for weeks on end.
