Of course, doing what I wrote also makes the assumption that the person playing is using one of the top 10 (or whatever) starting words which may or may not be correct.

That aside, I started playing a 6 letter variant and, while I haven't done any sort of analysis with access to the word list, I did do a quick Word Hippo analysis of words with common letters, especially vowels, and while I'm sure my results aren't optimal they're probably pretty good.

ADDED: Which I think is probably not all that different from what your code is doing. I fed Word Hippo 4 or 5 letters and told it to come up with some common words.

But that still requires an assumption that a player has given some thought to good starting guesses.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that awesome Nim feature. Kinda surprised Nim isn't 10x bigger than Zig and Go
This is almost exactly my approach to testing. I'm going to have to save this for sharing with teammates.
“Brake pad dust” is pretty specific.

I wonder if tire emissions are true. One on hand, EVs tend to be heavier. On the other, efficient braking inside the regen zone should mean more gradual stops, lower average accelerations and speeds.
Root cellars are better for storing them than refrigerators.
This keeps getting repeated and I still haven't heard a convincing argument on why that's a good thing. Chromium/Blink is opensource, has two megacorp contributors (Microsoft and Google) - it's a far cry from MS IE monopoly. Plus Apple has WebKit.

Firefox just adds incompatibility to the mix of things you have to support, frankly I'd switch to Firefox if they decided to build it on top of Chromium.

When they were actively working on Servo and had devtools team I could see the potential, but after they sacked those - what's the point ? Market share is shrinking so compatibility is going to get worse, devtools are worse, performance/stability is worse in my experience.
Wouldn’t you require the users to accept a privacy policy to accept or deny a privacy policy ?
Last reply is the most well-sourced:

In short, according to official Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks, powerful wizards often live in towers because they can create towers quite easily using magic, and have need of a highly defensible home for reasons of security and privacy. They have many valuable belongings which they need to protect from theft or harm, especially while they're away. They often undertake long periods of research or item crafting where they don't want to be disturbed, and often have enemies or rivals who want to attack them or steal their magical research or items. They may also wield significant personal and regional power and require a base of operations from which to control the local area. All these things necessitate a defensible home, and a tall tower or castle of some sort is a time-tested solution to this.

Where do you use USENET? Do you host your own and if so any resources about getting started?

My curiosity regarding USENET was piqued after seeing DFeed on here, a forum front end to USENET, made for and in use at forums.dlang.org.

In-N-Out is so infuriatingly proud of doing fries wrong, not parboiling or double frying them, and then crowing about how great it is that they dump just-cut potato into the fryer and serve it to you. Of course you have to pile on a bunch of other stuff to make them good, so the 'secret menu' is essential.

Sometimes putting something in a fridge or a freezer is part of the cooking process, but there's all this stigma around it and bonus points given to things for being "fresh." Fries that get chilled between rounds of cooking are part of what changes them from "deep fried potato" to "french fry".

Five Guys and that peanut oil though.. that's the stuff.

In my limited experience trying both on a couple CTF problems this last year (although having used Z3 a plenty for years before that), they're not even in the same ballpark. CVC5 is ridiculously good.

I do recall that for real number theory, CVC4 and Z3 have very different models though. I don't recall which one uses which model though, and I'm not sure if CVC5 uses the same model. I don't use either of them for real number arithmetic anyway.
Clearly it is not revenge, that is a ridiculous thing to say. Sanctions are the kind of things that tend to send unmistakable messages: we are serious about this and we're willing to hurt our own interests to hurt yours, stop what you are doing or it will get worse. Of course that requires a modicum of rationality on the other side, which we may not have in this case, and obviously the rulers will usually be utterly unaffected. But six degrees works as well in Russia as it does elsewhere, and living under sanctions is a lot more comfortable than living under a rain of artillery fire.

If you aim at the Russian industrial complex (which produces a lot of the arms), and the government with sanctions then obviously you will it the people too. But that's not as bad as a shooting war (or a nuclear war) would be. And it doesn't rule either out.
In the inconceivable case that this is an earnest question, it's from the movie 'the princess bride'. Highly recommend it.

The US tax code is more complex than any one tax. VA for example charges fees to any car over 25MPG. https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/#highwayuse_fee.asp

Overall looking at all taxes and fees vs costs, semi trucks get a major discount vs the costs they add to the US highway system. They cause a lot of damage and take up a lot of space both from being heavy and driving a lot more miles while being relatively fuel efficient to their weight. This means not only do bridges etc need to be over engineered vs cars but they also need to be repaired more often.

States are in a bind because if they raise fuel taxes truckers will largely fill up in another state. The constitution limits what they can do about interstate commerce. Meanwhile cars are paying annual registration and property taxes on top of fuel taxes while generally being driven vastly less.

Let’s hear some ideas, so far it’s how it doesn’t work. California has that in spades.
When reading the other replies here, keep in mind none of those taxes nearly come close to funding the cost of roads in the first place.

How could they, something like fuel tax was last raised in 1993.
I suspect china is looking at this and thinking a number of things:

1) It needs to control banking infra (it has a messaging system similar to swift already)

2) Putin is acting even more boldly than normal (I suspect it was assuming that he would try and fully annex donbas & Luhansk and a bit more, then wait another few years to try again)

3) The Russian bear that is it's land army really isn't that great. The modernisation hasn't stretched to tactics or maintenance.

4) Russia shares a decent land border with china, might need to think again about the security there.

Sure Xi and Putin are "best buddies" but real politik > than friendship for dictators.

I totally agree with you on this point, but unfortunately it's will take months or even years of economic crysis before reasonable amount of people in Russia understand this. Little too late for Ukraine or Russia itself.
For any Russians reading this, Uruguay has an open border policy for immigrants who want to come to live here. There's already a small Russian community here and it will be easy to settle.
Sanctions of the kind now being imposed on Russia, and previous imposed on North Korea are the modern equivalent of a siege to starve your opponent out.

It's not just a matter of abstaining from trading with them, the US and Europe are blockading trade by third parties as well. Even the bank of China has suspended dealings with some Russian banks because doing so would incur legal penalties on them from the US. Even parts manufactured in third party countries that were made using US equipment or technology are barred from export to Russia no matter who makes them or where.

The US and Europe are construing a technical argument that, well, these are US technologies, and it's ok to block trading with them in Dollars because the US technically owns all dollars, but the effect is to coerce many third parties into unwillingly participating in the blockade. Technically no it's not really an act of war. In practice it's absolutely a direct attack on the Russian economy and if not an act of war definitely an act of explicit aggression.

I say this as someone who fully and wholeheartedly supports these sanctions and believes they are well deserved. They are the right thing to do. I wish we were doing a lot, lot more and as soon as we can stop buying their oil and gas too the better.
>the Ukraine situation remind me of Bush standing in front of a Mission Accomplished banner after 20 days of the Iraq invasion.

So your response to others jumping to conclusions is to do so yourself? Your analogy doesn't make a lot of sense either, Bush was the invader claiming victory, not the local population saying they would resist until death(which seems to be fairly accurate in the case of Ukraine so far.)

I see your problem.
Yes but as my experience shows process/structural problems are quite easily solved with software.

Then if someone has problem with process you tell them "it is software that requires it" and they comply.

Organizational problems are mostly problematic to translate to software and make projects die. Because if company is not organized, they won't have possibility to organize their requirements which will lead to problems.

I'd really hate a formatter to attempt to preserve formatting if it's "close enough"(tm). Because what is "close enough"(tm) is hugely subjective, like formatting style itself. Formatter should just format to a common style. No funny business.
China's not Russia, and Taiwan is not Ukraine, but there are still some important messages being sent:

1. The West's main tool still seems to be economic sanctions. Even unprecedented sanctions didn't prevent or halt Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and good luck sanctioning China.

2. The West is too scared to get involved militarily in ways that could actually prevent an invasion from succeeding, even when its adversary is fumbling and vulnerable. So that's something China probably doesn't have to worry about now, if it wants to go to war over Taiwan.
Something like the observer pattern:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern#JavaScript

If you look at it from another angle, you might see that `setState` could take a function oldState => newState instead of a raw value. Then you have a `reducer` in the sense of redux.

You could also just make the list of observers functions, instead of objects with the signal method.

All easily done in about 20 LOC.
I think these are trying to overload/damage the sensors on a satellite. Rather than damaging the body of the satellite. Makes sense, given that the sensors are made to be more sensitive.
fastify.io is supposed to be pretty fast. They do it by minimizing memory allocation. If you're not careful it's very easy to create tons of objects in javascript a common source of slowdowns.
Touch screens on home appliances are nice sometimes though...

> Long-haul truckers appear to be independent contractors with zero market power relative to trucking firms.

Some are, most drive for a company.

Its not like they are forcing them to go out and spend $140,000+ on a truck to make less than minimum wage as TFA asserts but people are choosing to buy (or lease) a truck on their own volition. Maybe they make money, maybe they lose money, either way it’s what they chose to do and business is hard.
I'd counter with your opinion being exceedingly naive.. "thriving" is quite generous considering their economy and reliance on foreign powers. And culturally they're making the same mistake as Hong Kong in alienating mainlanders.

don't think we have reconcilable opinions on US motivations but hey I'll gladly be wrong as long as there's no war
My small town has to spend so much money repairing roads damaged by large trucks that we considered a weight limit or perhaps a fee for vehicles over a certain GVW, but anything of the sort is illegal in our state to implement so we're just forced to build roads large enough for the largest truck that feels like driving through town and constantly fixing the damage.
NATO expansion is definitely one of the primary viewpoints. There are convincing rebuttals against those viewpoints as well though. Geopolitics is messy and chaotic. There probably were mustache twirling strategists hellbent on pursuing an anti-ussr agenda despite the USSR no longer existing. I've never heard anyone argue they are the architects of NATO's expansion. I'm curious. European and african commentators I've been checking have very much emphasized that the states themselves decided to join NATO, that they weren't solicited or coerced by NATO itself. Considering lukashenko implied Moldova is next, it doesn't seem like they were unreasonable to try to pursue NATO as a means of assuring continued sovereignty. I think for most of the general public, the beginning was last week. Put to people working in state departments all around the world, off the record and unpublished, I wonder what their answers would be.

I feel like it changes a lot depending on how you feel about hegemony.

Edit: If north and south Korea were about to unify, but China invaded to reconstitute a north Korean buffer state, where was the beginning and what could have been done? Should the south have refused the north because it didn't want to be seen as expanding? Should the north have? China definitely wouldn't be invaded by a unified Korea, maybe they would argue that how they are positioned in international trade justifies it. I'm trying to think of parallels and this is what I've come up with.

I didn't read it all but wasn't hard to find "mistakes" in that wiki article

For example: "Several countries which are historically neutral, such as Switzerland and Singapore have agreed to sanctions."

Clearly a misrepresentation of Swiss neutrality. The news outlets all over the world posted this and various similar claims over the last week and wiki picks it up. Some news articles even straight out tell you that Switzerland ditched its neutrality and "picked a side" in this war. It could not be more wrong. But Wikipedia doesn't care about right or wrong it just repeats what a subset of sources say even if its like in this case obviously propaganda.
Sony makes the l̶e̶n̶s̶e̶s̶ sensors on modern iPhones and, if rumors are to be believed, also the micro OLED displays on a forthcoming new product category.

It's funny. The 1970s Sony Trinitron CRT TVs are what inspired Steve Jobs to make the Apple II case, and here they are working together, at the highest end of technology, many decades later.
The Meme-Ification of the Ukraine Invasion
I mean you do realize a Wi-Fi connected thermostat just closes a pair of contacts that tell the boiler "heat on" or "heat off" and it's not "literally starting a fire" in your house. Assuming someone took over and had full control of your thermostat the worst they could do is turn the heat on and make you uncomfortable. All boilers/furnaces/etc have protection mechanisms built in and in no circumstance is the 'fire' controlled by the thermostat whatsoever. A thermostat simply sends a signal that 'calls' for heat or cooling. The only exception would be a mains-voltage thermostat that controls an electric wall heater but I've never seen those connected to Wi-Fi.

> Setting up an application server behind a reverse proxy to use the "real" client IP is unfortunately very typically just a trial-and-error based process

This is very true, and I narrowly missed getting burned myself by thinking, "looks good to me!" after seeing my own IP.

However... I take a dig in the conclusions at the implementers of security-related libraries. I don't think it's okay for them to stop at "seems to work". They should be taking the time to fully understand the problem space.

> highly recommended to just override the entire XFF header with a single value at the appropriate point in your stack, if at all possible

I agree, and probably should have emphasized that approach. (And maybe will, and will definitely add a note at the end.) I didn't really give any/enough attention to configuring your first proxy with a custom single-IP header. (Partly because I was writing more for people who are trying to use what's available.)
I dislike this article, as it tries repeatedly to imply that the use of NaN is somehow a restriction cause by floating point.

No ieee754 ever produces a NaN result unless the operation has no valid result in the set of real values.

Similarly the behaviour in comparisons: if you want NaN to equal NaN you have to come up with a definition of equality that is also consistent with

NaN < X

NaN > X

NaN == X

The logical result of this is that NaN does not equal itself, and I believe mathematicians agree on that definition. Again not a result of the representation, but a result of the mathematical rules of real values.

I want to be very clear here: floating point math always produces the correct value rounded (according to rounding mode) to the appropriate value in the represented space unless it is fundamentally not possible. The only place where floating point (or indeed any finite representation) produces an incorrectly rounded result are the transcendental functions, where some values can only be correctly rounded if you compute the exact value, but the exact value is irrational.

People seem hell bent on complaining about floating point behavior, but it is fundamentally mathematically sound. IEEE754 also specifies some functions like e^x-1 explicitly to ensure that you get the best possible accuracy for the core arithmetic operations
Yes, that's correct - you don't have absolute freedom of speech in my house.

You do have some relative, qualified freedoms from government interference.

However, its entirely possible to still be quite restricted in your speech as a practical matter under american style "freedom of speech". For example, rightly or wrongly, parlor had trouble obtaining services. The government didn't interfere, but as a practical matter they probably had more trouble getting their "mesage" out than opposition groups in countries without freedom of speech that could more easily rely on international resources.

And that's not neccesarily a bad thing. America has identified freedom of speech as a sort of fundamental good - so instead of being truthful about it being a qualified right, seem to instead try to redefine the term so that anything not covered by by first amendment isn't "true" freedom of speech.

After all the saying goes:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" not "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to be free from government interference in saying it". There is much more to freedom of speech than just what the first amendment covers.
I recently had to install a new Netgear switch (GS724TPP) for a customer. It won't let you use "advanced" features like VLAN without registering it to a Cloud account first! (It was on a construction side with unfinished internet.) I told my boss to never buy Netgear again.
