The underlying observation is that the entire hour from X:00 - X:59 is either AM or PM, and not a mixture.

12:00 and 12:01 are both in the 12:XX hour, but 11:59 and 12:00 are not. Of course the whole thing is arbitrary, but the convention is that the 12:00 - 12:59 hour is PM, rather than just 12:00.
Perhaps a better survey would be the one by Firefox[0] since it isn't biased towards gamers. Basically HiDPI monitors are like a combined 2% of all Firefox users.

1080p usage is lower than on Steam but that is because 768p usage is higher :-P.

The English-language convention I was taught
is that 12am is midnight — the rationale I was given was that 02:00:00 is 2am without ambiguity, and 00:00:01 is 12:00:01am without ambiguity, so 00:00:00 gets to be 12am.

I have no idea if that’s a good explanation, but it helped contextualise what in the end is a convention.

In my personal experience most English-speaking people will either say “midnight” or use the military convention of 00:00 or 24:00 hours.

Royal Observatory Greenwich explains it succinctly[1]:

> When most people say 12pm, typically they're talking about the middle of the day: 12 noon. When they say 12am, they normally mean 12 midnight.

> While most people follow this convention, technically it's not quite right – as you'll see from the definition of am and pm below. To avoid any confusion (and to make sure you arrive on time), it might be best to say 12 noon or 12 midnight instead.

US English is similar[2]:

> The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Fourth Edition, 2000) has a usage note on this topic: "Strictly speaking, 12 a.m. denotes midnight, and 12 p.m. denotes noon, but there is sufficient confusion over these uses to make it advisable to use 12 noon and 12 midnight where clarity is required."

> Many U.S. style guides, and NIST's "Frequently asked questions (FAQ)" web page, recommend that it is clearest if one refers to "noon" or "12:00 noon" and "midnight" or "12:00 midnight" (rather than to "12:00 p.m." and "12:00 a.m."). Some other style guides suggest "12:00 n" for noon and "12:00 m" for midnight.

This story seemed so heartbreaking, but the ending was totally worth it.
Ah yes, I now remember using F2 on Turbo Pascal. Thanks for the reminder :)
We do but 12 is noon for us, otherwise past 11:59 in the evening it goes back to 0.
It is not a radical view and I heard it more than once from different perspectives. Anything else but cities is not sustainable, scalable or maintainable for the long run.

It's not just cars, think of infrastructure like water, electricity or roads. Think about supplying to those people in remote shops or thinks about the land they use and climate change they produce locally and globally just by that
Yes it will once it happens on iOS. Large companies like Facebook (not picking on Meta, just an easy example) really don’t want to follow Apple’s privacy guidelines, don’t want to ask users for permission to track their location, and don’t want to tell users what info they gather and how it’s used.

Note though that in the EU they have to ask for permission to track their location and tell users what info they gather, thanks to the GDPR.
What if it was not meant as an insult?
Treating other people/animals as inferior because they don't speak "English" has been such a historically common theme that it's surprising you seem to deny it.

Nations bent on conquest and colonialism had been using those arguments to justify their actions for centuries. Not to animals but to other humans as well.

While it's mostly illegal to do so to humans now, it's still socially acceptable to do the same to animals.

We still don't know how human intelligence developed or the evolutionary pressures underlying our intelligence. Using that as an argument to summarily dismiss animal intelligence is a strawman at best, as is your other points - you could easily find humans which are literally dumb as a rock, does that have any bearing on the intelligence we're capable of as a species?
How easy is it to send full quality videos and pictures via XMPP? I feel like the main difference from my Pidgin days and today is that these days there is a metric ton of large media files being sent around.
Beyond privacy concerns, it’s also going to open these and many other services up to an unending wave of SPAM.

So, I wouldn’t assume it’s great for end users without digging into the details. Don’t forget the last time they did privacy regulations they created an unending wave of click yes to accept cookies.

PS: Looking at rapid downvotes I see people disagree, but mandatory interoperability would presumably force them to accept SpamNetwork101, SpamNetwork102 … etc.
I guess people solve this by not doing business around that time.
I've considered adding hints. Do you have ideas? Mine:

1. Give names of intersecting streets.
2. Reduce the circle by half (just for this street).
3. Show a photo.
4. Allow you to drop a pin and tell you the distance (but not the direction). Then you can confirm the pin or move it one more time.
i think the moral of the story is that presentation formats for dates and times should follow the end user's locale.
When your whole world is mapped to the 9s, every thing named and every definition known. And you are the master of it. The unfamiliar can seriously upset your crystal handtruck.
The problem with that explanation is it doesn't make it more logical that 12:59am is one minute before 1:00am.
iMessage and WhatsApp both already have encryption backdoors that escrow the endpoint secret keys or plaintext to cloud services, undermining the end-to-end encryption. That ship has sailed.
Digital Markets Act give very broad executive powers to EU Commission to make sure that it will get implemented.

Specifically:

- article 7: Compliance with obligations for gatekeepers

- article 10: Updating obligations for gatekeepers and

- article 11: Anti-circumvention

Fines are up to 10% of annual global turnover, or daily fines up to 5% of average daily annual global turnover.

In more detail:

Article 11, Anti-circumvention

1. A gatekeeper shall ensure that the obligations of Articles 5 and 6 are fully and effectively complied with. While the obligations of Articles 5 and 6 apply in respect of core platform services designated pursuant to Article 3, their implementation shall not be undermined by any behaviour of the undertaking to which the gatekeeper belongs, regardless of whether this behaviour is of a contractual, commercial, technical or any other nature.

2. Where consent for collecting and processing of personal data is required to ensure compliance with this Regulation, a gatekeeper shall take the necessary steps to either enable business users to directly obtain the required consent to their processing, where required under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Directive 2002/58/EC, or to comply with Union data protection and privacy rules and principles in other ways including by providing business users with duly anonymised data where appropriate. The gatekeeper shall not make the obtaining of this consent by the business user more burdensome than for its own services.

3. A gatekeeper shall not degrade the conditions or quality of any of the core platform services provided to business users or end users who avail themselves of the rights or choices laid down in Articles 5 and 6, or make the exercise of those rights or choices unduly difficult.
I think Chandigarh is the only one he was involved in. "New Delhi", as in the British Imperial capital built next to old Delhi, was largely Edwin Lutyens' creation and predates modernism.

Suddenly governments have a lever to prevent adoption of securer standards.
That was common in my university as well, for the same reason.
I think OP's school lacked some common sense with the schedule.
> Sadly, open standards also slow down the development of new features, as everybody needs to be "on board" for new features to roll out. Take email (SMTP, IMAP, etc) as an example, where no major progress has been made in 25+ years, despite the platform being hopelessly insecure.

The usual answer for avoiding the need for everybody being "on board" with the changes is capability negotiation. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for email since it's a unidirectional, store-and-forward protocol: the sender has no way to negotiate capabilities with the recipient (or recipients, in case of a mailing list). If for instance I invent a new rich-text format for email, I have to include a fallback format on every message, since I cannot know whether the recipient can read my new format.

> Feel free to replace email for TCPv4/v6.

With TCP, there's another issue: middleboxes. While TCP does have working capability negotiation, unrelated third parties (which were not part of the negotiation) interfere with things they don't understand. If for instance I introduce a new TCP option which when negotiated changes the meaning of the sequence number field, a stateful firewall would drop the data packets even though they're valid for both endpoints. Due to the large amount of middleboxes in the wild, the design of TCP has been effectively "frozen", in that any enhancement will break unexpectedly for a large subset of users.

> The only successful open standard i can think of would be HTTP.

What saved HTTP was SSL/TLS. By making it hard for middleboxes to interfere without actually acting as an endpoint (with negotiation), it allowed the protocol to evolve. The best example is HTTP2: while there is a cleartext version of HTTP2, nobody uses it because it would get broken by middleboxes.
From the headline, I imagined that for 3 months she carried a nest made of wooden branches on her head. Very disappointing that it wasn't the case.

I enjoy thinking about the hauntologies in our time. I found it very funny that so many lo-fi videos on youtube are made to imitate a 90s anime style. Something about the videos and style is comforting to me and others despite us having never lived through that time. Synth-wave and other genres on youtube also try to imitate a past that never was. Modern hyper-pop of the 2020s does the same to the early 2000s.

The concept of Hauntologies was first introduced by Jacues Derrida[0]. I think it goes hand-in-hand deconstruction.

As an aside, poolside.fm, in addition to being a cool project, also imitates a past that never was[1].

Because some people are born that way.
From Brian Hook[0], who worked with John Carmack at id Software:

> I remember Carmack talking about productivity measurement. While working he would play a CD, and if he was not being productive, he'd pause the CD player. This meant any time someone came into his office to ask him a question or he checked email he'd pause the CD player. He'd then measure his output for the day by how many times he played the CD (or something like that -- maybe it was how far he got down into his CD stack). I distinctly remember him saying "So if I get up to go to the bathroom, I pause the player".

> You know what's pretty hardcore? Thinking that going to the bathroom is essentially the same as fucking off.

Double yes! I had thought for the longest time that a Linux-like open landscape would develop for messaging and social. I no longer believe this is going to be the case. I truly believe we are at a Standard Oil / AT&T moment (as documented would happen by Tim Wu in the Master Switch[1][2]) There is no conceivable way other than politically/legally that big tech will of their own volition lower their drawbridges to span their moats.

This needs to happen. Mandate interop and federation please.

> messaging apps don't need new features - they need to simply send messages to each other.

Messaging apps have evolved in very pro-user ways over the years. Reactions, threads, voice/video/screenshare, and more are all popular with users. Stuff that we didn't have at all in the AIM era, or maybe only had on one chat platform.

And under the hood, I read that an important reason everyone left XMPP is it fundamentally requires an active connection, but that means your phone's radio can never enter low power mode, hurting battery life.

I miss Pidgin. I really liked having all my chats in one place. I sort of have that now with Beeper.

But it's also clear that we're not done evolving the medium, and standardized protocols, for all their upsides, often crystalize a platform in whatever state it's in when the standard is written.
Libertarians where too focused on Right Authoritarians we got flanked by Left Authoritarians and never saw it coming,

the problem now is too many liberty minded people are see the Right Authoritarians as allies to the cause of liberty making the same mistake as the 90's when we allied with left authoritarians to put down the right.

12pm is something that you routinely see in the "day" life - opening/closing times, appointments, etc. That's the one I know.

12am is the other one, so it's at night. I have to deduce every time I see it.

I feel the exact same way! I've used R for the past decade. Once you learn the philosophy behind it, it just works. Yesterday my boss asked me a question about a dataset and I wrote code to analyze it while talking through the problem in real time.
Great photos!

I think an important point of distinction is that you aren't just photographing for keeping a record or memory of the place, but you're photographing more artistically - you're going the extra mile to take good, planned photos with proper camera gear - making you much more like the "professional" photographer of the Baha"i Gardens than the photo the author shot.

I think that's an important point the author missed - photography-tending folks are likely going to want to take good photos of particular angles that you're unlikely to find online (especially if it's not a common tourist spot).
This help domestically, but not across cultures that don't use 12 hour time.
Hmm, I ended up buying it based on the fragments cited by the article. I do need a fun read and this looks enticing.

This is probably one of the few advertising types I actually accept: reviews.
If we're slinging mud, then one side has a monopoly on hate and the other likes to point out that what they're saying constitutes hate speech. One side insists that they believe in protecting life but advocates for maintaining a system that keeps the poor poor and the other side points out what a bunch of hypocrites they are. One side reads a fairy tale about a guy who preached kindness to all, while trying to eliminate differing viewpoints and life choices and the other side keeps losing ground on human rights and they're pretty unhappy about it.

But hey, trolls gonna troll, right?

By doing mass filtering, aren't you just creating your own echo chamber? I would point out the cognitive dissonance, but I really don't want to seem condescending or snooty.

But honestly, I think this is a bigger issue. I think the "filter button" or "block button" is the most harmful thing the internet has ever brought to the table.

Filtering what you don't want is essentially coddling your own mind.
I also found the "European" remark a bit weird.

I'm American so I don't really know, do Europeans generally ignore how AM/PM works?

IIRC the Romans created the system, so I'd find it really weird if it had dissapeared from common usage around there.

Also, every single picture I've found of a clock tower from Europe seems to follow a 12-hour convention.
When the public administration does things with pen and paper, it's blamed for being ancient and "should get with the times". Now they are getting on with the times, but the times are ones ruled by giant American companies with no regulation.

Also, it's the country's duty to protect citizens from themselves using laws and regulations. For an example of what kind of "far west" digital tech is living right now, I point you back to before TV was regulated as heavily as today, where companies used cartoons to advertise smoking cigarettes to children (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAExoSozc2c).

There is at least one case that this is not true.

Forcing radical viewpoints on all of society over extreme outliers is ridiculous.
But future messaging apps shouldn't be getting less secure.
Why? If your messaging app doesn't have the ability to block stranger requests, why are you still using it?

And even if you for some reason don't want to restrict your requests, you'll probably still be fine - Gmail handles protects me from spam pretty well.

Pixel art is defined by treating pixels as little squares. There is no single native medium for displaying pixel art. The same techniques were used for games on portable systems with LCD displays. Additionally, there are many examples of printed art using blocky pixels.

The Nyquist limit is irrelevant to pixel art, because the Nyquist limit applies only to reconstructing signals from point samples. Using pixel art on a monochrome LCD (no subpixels), I can display signals with maximum frequency limited only by the sharpness of the edges of the little squares.

The problem is less about how known the protocol is and more about whether the platform owner uses its influence to prevent others from implementing said protocol.

Even a completely obscure protocol can be reverse-engineered given enough time - in fact if you search on GitHub you can already find a lot of client libraries for proprietary services.

The problem is that at the moment the platform owners intentionally detect usage of these alternative clients and ban their users or abuse laws such as copyright to block their development & usage.
Sure but they’ll just outrun regulation and find ways around it. This is even a problem with the App Store now when it comes to technologically sophisticated companies, but there’s a balance because if they’re too aggressive Apple will give them the boot. Once XYZ Tech Company has its own App Store it’ll be able to hide more nefarious activity, create legal fictions to avoid responsibility, and hide how it circumvents GDPR. Using the third-party store might require consenting to location tracking even. So users who want to use XYZ app will agree to a bunch of terms and conditions before being able to even use the app, and then it’ll just be open season.

I do not trust GDPR to handle this effectively. It’ll be like a lion trying to squash ants, and now there’s no single company that the EU can go to and say “fix this”. Apple will say “not my problem”.

What percent of male sexual offenders will sexually assault women, vs the general female prison population assaulting women?

You are literally locking foxes with the hens.

On a sidenote, your excusing away of this behaviour under the guise of "it happens anyway" is ridiculous. I wonder under what prison in the world assault and violence is a solved problem. Oh, complete isolation prisons I guess.

Luckily we’re kept totally safe by our benevolent overlords. Except for our good friend Jeff Bezos that got hacked through a WhatsApp image. Or the overt spam that any publicly posted business WhatsApp number receives.

WhatsApp replaced SMS as a free alternative with media. Sms is just a protocol. It is not necessary that a replacement is walled garden, especially not under the sole guise of spam protection - something that is being done very poorly anyway.
