The funny thing is that, at least on Windows[0], there actually isn't a standard color picker. Or, well, there is, but it's one of those common-controls dialogs that hasn't gotten a UI refresh since Windows 3. People writing native apps that need to pick colors wind up writing their own color pickers[1]. Even Microsoft does this: Paint gives you the same obsolete system color picker I mentioned before, but Paint 3D ships with it's own[2].

If you ask a browser on Windows for a color picker, you get the old-and-busted one. Given the odd bifurcation in Windows UI since 8, I suspect date pickers are the same way, and the one the browser gives you won't actually match what other native apps are doing. So what happens if you decide to do the "right thing", is that you get a demonstrably worse user experience for your forms for the vast majority of people who do not know how to retheme native UI and have zero familiarity with the old Windows controls that browsers continue to throw at people.

[0] macOS has a native color picker that is apparently so good that someone reimplemented it for iPadOS.

[1] Adobe isn't even consistent among their own suite. The Photoshop color picker is entirely different from the Premiere or Animate ones, for example.

[2] I suspect the Paint 3D color picker may be a XAML default, but up until very recently the prospects of actually using XAML in most apps was very dim. More specifically, XAML used to be either exclusive to .NET/C#, or exclusive to Microsoft Store apps, neither of which were conducive to native software that need to live outside of an app container sandbox and be distributed through Steam.
I somewhat agree that the fear of linloeic acid doesn't always match facts. I do tend to avoid seed oils as they are relatively new and their health effects are rather suspect.

However, in this case, the eggs and lard that existed in the human diet for a long time, are not the same. The chickens and pigs are eating a different diet and this does effect the composition of the fatty acids present in the flesh/eggs.
CA tax money is the biggest racket in the world.
Yes, it had. There have been ongoing minor bugs (most people won't hit them, and if they do they can just do a fresh build) which they've been fixing over time. But apparently some of the fixes exposed a worse bug this time around, and it wasn't caught until just before the release.
Hmmm ... Section 8 is not known for paying a lot, afaik, and not a large source of demand. Also, rents have been shooting up while Section 8 has (afaik) not.

But do we have data anywhere? (I don't.)
lol, why the downvoting? I didn't say it was a fact, I said it was a possibility.

What do you want the US to be doing? Are these actions feasible?
It is worth remembering that the Chernobyl sarcophagus was paid for by the EU. Not sure if that makes it EU property though
Well it is both.
There was a schism in the Bitcoin community in 2017 over this issue, which led to the forking of BCH (Bitcoin Cash) as a separate cryptocurrency:

https://www.coinbase.com/price/bitcoin-cash

The main difference being that BCH has lower on-chain fees (half a penny per transaction). And BCH does not have Replace-By-Fee (RBF), making it much more difficult (but not impossible) to reverse transactions maliciously. Adoption of BCH has been disappointing, as cryptocurrency continues to be seen mostly as a speculative investment rather than a replacement for cash.

Is it really tyrannical to, say, elect officials to act on our behalf and consider long-term impacts and x-order effects?

Because to me that just sounds a little more "republic" and a little less "direct democracy".
That still might be to your eyes. The relevant effects are:

1. effects from your eyes (from looking at the strobing image)

2. PWM brightness controls causing your recordings to look like they strobe

The site in the OP wasn't working, so I tried a demo site instead: https://www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/strobegate.html. I looked at the strobing image, closed the tab, and sure enough my monitor (IPS, 60hz) was showing some signs of flickering. It disappeared after a few minutes. However, I performed a second test where I opened the site and didn't look at it with my eyes. The strobe after effect did not show up. Even though I didn't look at the monitor, I verified afterwards that a strobe was shown by a phone video recording. I also did a slo-mo video recording of my monitor without any visible strobe effect, and there was visible strobing in the recording, probably from the shitty PWM. You should follow a similar procedure to rule out whether it's something with your eyes or not.
I wanted to gain experience in embedded programming at a lower level than Arduino (i.e. pure C & bitbanging). They're dirt cheap and also simple enough that I can read through the whole datasheet and pretty much understand everything.

It's also kind of a fun challenge working within the limitations on both the HW and SW side.
The Ternary team applied their learnings and experience building applications at tremendous scale in the public cloud, specifically GCP, when building their FinOps SaaS platform specifically for GCP. I’ve worked with/consulted for many of the vendors in the cloud management and app/CI/CD tooling markets and I can attest that the Ternary team are problem solvers from both an engineering and a product perspective. They run their SaaS on a serverless-centric stack, move fast, and are truly focused on how to inspire cloud engineering teams to assume ownership of the cost-to-serve with the same passion they care about app performance, reliability, and quality.
As of recently, you will be able to build a fourplex on any SFH plot, with the passage of SB9! It's not perfect, but it is a massive step in the right direction.
Evidence is super easy to come by, but the question does need to be specific and well formed (what kind of rendering, exactly, are we comparing, how many pixels, what’s the bottleneck, etc.). There are loads and loads of benchmarks demonstrating GPUs are faster than CPUs at turning triangles into pixels. Not just a little faster, the numbers are usually in the ~100x range. There’s literally zero contention on this point, nobody is questioning whether simple rendering cases might be faster. Nobody is playing Fortnite with CPU rendering. Because this question is so well settled, GPU rendering is so ubiquitous that it’s even hard to test CPU software rendering.

There are certain kinds of rendering and corner cases where CPUs can have an edge, but those happen in areas like scientific visualization or high end VFX, they don’t come up often in text editor rendering engines.

You can’t use your anecdote of 1 app that might have a broken implementation to question GPUs categorically. I’ve never noticed iTerm2 using significant CPU. My iTerm2 sits at 0.0% CPU while idle. Maybe your install is busted?
Thanks!

The 300 decks arrived yesterday, and we were super excited with my daughter. Today we played multiple times and its super fun. Even though we played many times when I printed the game on normal a4 paper, having the real professional cards really make a difference.

I plan to also make lisp, c and javascript decks so we can explore more paradigms.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the neutrons eventually cause the reactor to eat itself as well, don’t they? Unless you can build a sacrificial layer inside to absorb all the damage you have to keep building new ones, even if it weren’t radioactive.
I think in that case we will just wind up in nuclear war. There doesn't appear to be an alternative. Get ready.
While he has a science background, he's definitely selling something. Drawing a straight line for evolutionary ancestors with a gene to modern humans and not showing that we have the same gene is a non-starter. Even if we have it, it could have changed in expression and function such that we are not capable of torpor.

We know from animal research that torpor/hibernation in non-human mammals creates a sleep deprived state. We know that there is no evidence of humans being able to enter a state of torpor. We know that humans have high sleep requirements for our brain function. It stands to reason that humans distant ancestors lost the ability to hibernate at some point and that it wouldn't work with our physiology.

I live in Denver, and the situation is much the same. Rampant crime, rapidly ballooning prices, and a public transit system so awful (in city limits; commuter rail is OK if you need to get between the suburbs and the city center) that you need a car.

What's especially weird is that this city is so flat, the weather is so decent, and the distances are so small, you could easily make Denver a paradise for walking and biking. But instead we just keep doubling down on cars for getting around the city, street parking, and unsustainable car suburbs.
Actually this proposition made it "less illegal" to be poor and a homeowner. Now poor people can keep their homes even if, through no fault of their own, property values rise around them. Property taxes in general are a complete sham, what other item do you continually need to pay for after you own it? And why is the amount you need to pay pegged to what other people in the neighborhood around you are doing?
Not a huge deal to get past for me.
What is that based on? And what did SROs provide? Did they provide plumbing, HVAC, and security? I never heard of SROs being known for their a/c and security, and the plumbing didn't have a great reputation.

This thread just makes me think of the thankless job of native frontend developers working on Linux/macOS/Windows OSes that made these nuances and behaviors work exactly to a specific standard.

> Scale and geographic concentration tend to push prices lower

Neon is extracted from the atmosphere. There is no geographic concentration to exploit (well, I guess technically Antarctica is coldest and so has a volumetric advantage). If Ukraine had the bulk of the supply it's simply because someone decided to invest in a bunch of manufacturing infrastructure there.
This happens even on new Dell machines, even if the PSU is detected but a lower wattage than the shipped PSU. I have wondered if it affects Linux more than windows though

Small countries fear invasion. Superpowers know that they're too large to be outright invaded, but are much more concerned that somebody's nukes (or whatever missiles) can reach their capital before their anti-missiles gadgets can intercept them. It's like having a gun to your head. When you attempt to point a gun to a mafia boss' head, they will remove the gun and neutralize you.
> The highest proportions of students who reported improved mental wellbeing were among those who were in school every day (39%) and most days (35%), while the highest proportion of students who reported worse wellbeing were those who attended just once or twice (39%).

So, the students least affected by the lockdown were happy during the lockdown? I am not sure what to conclude here.
Can't believe the downvoting. There's several major issues with the current dinosaur theory RN.

Four areas of scientific incongruities regarding these animals’ large size are 1) insufficient muscle strength, 2) insufficient bone strength, 3) unacceptably high blood pressure within the tallest dinosaurs, and 4) the paradox of pterosaurs having grossly insufficient power to fly in atmospheric conditions similar to the present

Today there are no reptiles capable of generating the power needed to fly, and yet during the Mesozoic era reptiles grew to be the largest flying animals that ever existed. The largest of these pterosaurs was the Quetzalcoatlus. It had a chest size as large as a horse and stood as tall as a giraffe ... [Y]et some paleontologists continue to insist that there is no scientific paradox regarding how the pterosaurs could have flown ... [P]terosaurs could not have flown in today’s atmospheric environment. The application of aerodynamic equations show pterosaurs falling far short of meeting the requirements for obtaining flight in today’s atmosphere, and the experimental efforts using RC models provide physical evidence confirming these conclusions. It should be alarming to all scientists and science educators that some paleontologists continue to claim that they understand how pterosaurs flew when the evidence is so overwhelming in refuting their claim ...
We're relatively economically powerless here. We've spent the last thirty years deindustrializing on behalf of China, which runs a trade surplus of a trillion dollars a year with the United States and can afford to use to keep Russia afloat in spite of whatever sanctions we think we can push.
Have you really never had to choose between spending money on this or on that?

Few lack that experience.

Bombing someone is not invading a country, so I am not sure what your point is.
If the other option is living on the street, why not?

The problem is that not everyone has a well-paid IT job, and some people barely make ends meet. These people need a place to live, too, a cheap, non-advanced place, with many corners cut for the sake of it being cheap to build and maintain. It's still much better than living in a tent as your primary residence!
> What do you want the US to be doing? Are these actions feasible?

Nothing because it's too late. But had the west given some concrete promises to Ukraine, I don't know at any time in the last few years, do you really think Russia would have invaded?

> How exactly did he antagonize Russia?

Really? He kept threatening sanctions, kept saying the invasion was happening... Even Zelenskiy told Biden to stop...

Edit - now Biden is gloating about being right, talking about sanctions but not helping Ukraine

Edit2 - Biden's press conference is so bad SMH... Hahaha Biden just said the sanctions will be just as bad as Russian missiles are to Ukraine. Clown world...
I doubt they care about TSMC.

The CCP understands (or at least was predicting back with Jiang and Hu) that eventually China will democratize. Taiwan is a democracy right now. Democratic countries almost never re-unite into a single country. I can only name one instance of this happening in the last 70 years, and in some ways East Germany wasn't really a democracy yet.

The CCP knows that Taiwanese reunification will never really happen peacefully. Leaders will talk about it, they'll negotiate a bit, but then it won't happen because the status-quo is always more attractive. They know that their only chance at national reunification is now or in the next 10 years or so.

It's now or never. It has to happen by force or it will never happen. If China swallows Taiwan and then democratizes, that can be managed - a restive province can be placated and bought-off. But if China democratizes before reunification, then Taiwan is separate forever.
Are you seriously arguing that India didn't practice socialist policies before that amendment? And continued to do so for decades afterwards? Arguably continues to do so in some respects even today.

Even the link you provided notes the same thing: "Ambedkar's (the original author of the constitution)...objection [to putting "socialist" in the original preamble] was [it was] "purely superfluous" and "unnecessary", as "socialist principles are already embodied in our Constitution" through Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy."

Here's an interesting article that puts this into perspective and provides a lot of history about nuclear research:

https://quillette.com/2022/02/21/fusion-power-is-coming/

EDIT:

The above article talks about some other approaches, such as:

> MIT physicist Bruno Coppi proposed achieving fusion in a very small tokamak by the simple expedient of using ultra-strong magnetic fields. The magnetic field lines of a tokamak confine particles to follow them, spiraling around the chamber, with the radius of the spirals being inversely proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. Coppi reasoned that the relevant dimension of a tokamak was not its size per se, but the ratio of its size to the radius of the spiral, because it is this ratio that determines how long a particle will last before it hits the wall. Furthermore, as noted above, the higher the magnetic field strength, the faster the particle is likely to react. So if you want a particle to take part in a fusion reaction before it hits the wall (which would cool it too much for fusion), the key is just to go for broke with ultra-powerful magnets. But the problem is that the highest magnetic field it is practical to achieve with traditional low temperature superconducting magnets is about 6 Tesla, and Coppi needed 12 T. So, he designed an experimental machine called “Ignitor” using copper magnets. This could not be a practical commercial reactor, because the resistive copper magnets would use too much power. Nevertheless, if it had been built, we probably would have achieved thermonuclear fusion ignition in the 1990s. But all of the US Department of Energy funds were committed to ITER, so Ignitor was never built. But starting around 2014, an MIT group led by Professor Dennis Whyte decided to pick up where Coppi had left off, improving on the Ignitor concept by making use of high temperature super conductor magnets, which require no electric power and can reach 12 T. As a result, with more than twice the magnetic field strength as ITER, the CFS reactor, known as SPARC (for Smallest Possible Affordable Robust Compact) fusion reactor, will achieve 1/5th the power hoped for by ITER in a reactor 1/65th the volume. Furthermore, CFS aims to do it by 2025, achieving in seven years what ITER hopes to do in half a century.
> international trade is beneficial to all involved

But what kind of trade? Not unrestricted - Taiwan itself used protectionism to grow its industries when they were not yet able to compete on the global market:

James K. Galbraith has stated that [..] " ... none of the world's most successful trading regions, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and now mainland China, reached their current status by adopting neoliberal trading rules." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage#Criticis...
For all of us who took that at work in the bathroom.
I'd argue the good times were a result of the massive transfer of wealth from the wealthy to the middle classes that was caused by the two world wars. Since the neoliberal shift of politics in Western powers in the 70s, we have been on a slow return back to the crazy levels of inequality that rival any of those ever seen prior to 20th century. We are now reaping what was sown by the Thatcher/Reagan privatisation and financialisation of everything in the economy. Takes a while for the effects to really kick in but I think much of the geopolitical dynamics we are seeing can be traced back to this.

> Are these principles so weak that we would allow a dictator who doesn't even have the support of his own people to shake them?

In practice the principles don't matter too much. The reality is that industry has optimized for cost and converged on a small set of suppliers. The single points of failure introduced as a side-effect of this could certainly be exploited by a bad actor.
I'm not an expert or anything, but you could consider making the "community edition" open source but then all the components used to better integrate with large organizations closed source (e.g., SSO, team/group management, white labeling, high availability deployment tooling, or any other features that are only relevant to companies doing large scale projects).

You could also make support contracts and uptime guarantees part of a paid package.

Of course, if you're just making a little utility, none of this applies.
Any unwanted medical procedure, regardless of what exactly that procedure entails, is a form of bodily molestation and bodily violation.

We should expect somebody being coerced by an authority figure to undergo an unwanted medical procedure, especially when that individual's livelihood is being threatened, to find it to be an emotionally traumatic experience, regardless of how severe the coercion is.

The situation can easily be made worse when the procedure may have unknown harmful side effects, and when it comes out of the blue.
