Each to their own. I find lichess.org's UI and UX vastly superior.

And I'm not the GP, but I agree. To expand my thoughts:

- The free version is vastly inferior to lichess.org, and it nags you to upgrade at every opportunity.

- They are anti-competitive to the point of censoring the mention of lichess on their forums (for e.g. feature requests) [1]

- I guess it's subjective how paid chess.com compares to lichess.org but I much prefer lichess.

- Minor UX/UI annoyances (you can't give your opponent time or allow takeback requests in a rated game, etc.)

- The price of diamond membership is quite steep for a chess website, but I guess compared to lichess.org anything is quite steep.

Thinking about it further, I guess chess.com seems extra bad because of the existence of lichess.org which is just amazing (100% open source including the apps, zero ads, open API, can download the database of all games, etc.)

Full disclosure, I'm a diamond chess.com member (signed up in January for a year) because I'm quite a chess enthusiast and really wanted to see if it was worth it. It's not, in my opinion.

I've made this point too. By strictly limiting your physical standards you are also limiting your exposure to different personalities.
Now that’s just crossing the line.
You can create app's on them, either native apps built for armv7 (and an old version of glibc), or create a 'kindlet' (java app made for kindles, using java 1.4 (or 1.5 if you compile it down to 1.4))

At my current job, I made an app for the older Kindle 4, as a way to replace paper pick lists. It ends up being both cheaper then paper + ink and more convenient. It's also a nice way to recycle old/unused kindles.

The Register spent years telling us to be scared of Wikipedia over encyclopedias ie https://www.theregister.com/2006/03/23/britannica_wikipedia_...

The fact they join the legions of mentally ill and toxic ex-Googlers and Twitter people doesn't say much.

The Register is irreverent, don't read them literally.
While this looks incredibly useful and productive, it’s also extremely hostile to users and security. I can not recommend. The volume of data collection far exceeds its utility. The argument that it’s needed proves it’s not about auto-complete. It’s about selective exfiltration. Prove me wrong.
So we extended font specs to allow for colors specifically for emojis, needed to make font handling libs even more complex (on Windows you need to use Direct2D!) so we can finally make a font that's black and white and doesn't use any of that functionality, only to continue the ruthless strive for flatness, emptyness, simplicity in our UIs.

Oh, sorry, you're absolutely right. I should have explained the acronym before using it.

I guess it’s very subjective and while I’m sure the blobs had fans, they just looked weird to me. And it probably didn’t help that WhatsApp had their own emoji on Android.

Note that Microsoft also had to do a refresh of all their emoji for Windows 11.

For now the Apple/WhatsApp like aesthetic is king. But it’s so fashion driven, you never know what’ll be in tomorrow.
He could be right or not, but I think that the man is very naive thinking that there is such thing as a "my rights" for being a whistleblower that the company "must protect". Is this right written in his contract?

Some whistleblowers are right and valuable, other just attention grabbers or liars. Each case should be examined one by one before start burning down the company. The article explains really few about the content, and this is what really matters, not that somebody would self-tag as whistleblower (hence in possession of the absolute truth?).

Employees of company "X" tagging publicly "X" as evil will crash easily against defamation laws, and the right to not being defamed is regulated by law, while free speech has some exceptions. By Pete's sake, If you think that you discovered a real crime go to the police or to a union, not to fakenewsland. Venting his frustration on internet instead is stupid.
If you're going to exclude bad faith answers, I think you should exclude all of them. But I don't think you can do that. Is HTHTHTHTHT a bad faith answer? Always or only sometimes? We're trying to infer the test subject's intent from their answer, and that's fundamentally impossible I think.

I think including all answers is a solid approach. If test subjects have bad faith, I think that can be filed under 'less random'. If old test subjects show more bad faith, I think it's not really wrong to say older people are less random. And it does have predictive power.

Arbitrarily (because they is no way to do it subjectively) excluding some answers and not others has, I think, a greater risk of skewing the results.

Or¹ they started with the older Noto Emoji which already had the blobs because they were the Android default until ~2017. And some genuinely prefer the abstract/cutesy/less-human forms.

>Many of them express a great deal of resistance presented with the idea that this diagnostic construct on which they've chosen to build their personal identity might be bad science or even a harmful cultural construct – I am left with the impression that many of them don't even want to hear the arguments against it, they already know the arguments must false before they've even heard them–much as many religious people don't even need to hear the arguments against their religion's doctrines in order to know their fallaciousness.

I think you're misreading the situation. I don't know anyone who is particularly happy about how inconsistent the experience of trying to get diagnosed with autism (particularly in adulthood) is.

The strict defensiveness is simply a result of the existence of exterminationist parties. Many autistic people are happy with the way they are, and just want some support to exist in a society that expects differently from them. But the likes of Autism Speaks keep framing autism as a severe disorder, mostly defined through the suffering of parents, that we need to "cure". Even if many people do not want to be cured.

I'm not diagnosed with ASD, despite having a bunch of autistic traits and being in two groups that are seeing much higher rates of ASD (ADHD, trans), but I know the exact same problem with trans people. For how small of a population trans people are, the evidence for affirmation being the best way forward is overwhelming, and yet there are constant attacks on trans healthcare that stem more from an extension of anti-gay republican partisanship, the more fascist (in the "every enemy needs to be the worst threat to civilization possible" way) part of has started to call us "groomers" now.

Of course we'll have a hard time differentiating between good faith criticism and and the constant barrage of exterminationist thought veiled in "just asking questions".

This is also the big reason a lot of autism and trans advocates heavily oppose researching autism and transness within genetics. Because it looks like a precursor to elimination.
"A refund of the excess purchase will be made"

Sounds like he will have made his intended 10k investment, there's no indication the system doesn't work as intended (even though it could work a lot better, obviously - the app could check for the investment limit right away, and an 8-week window for refunds, in a system that offers 2-month investments, is borderline scammy).

You have a very curious definition of super-mod. One would assume a super-mod needs to be a mod first.

People are sometimes entrusted with non-public information they aren’t at liberty to disclose, at least without asking for explicit permission first. Still, when they see false accusations thrown around they sometimes would like to do something. I thought this is a forum for adults, that much should be obvious.
I wish I could say the same. I have been diagnosed with ADHD as a young child and what's described in the post is normal to me.
Now I have tried many medications and stimulants and luckily they do work!
The problem I have is the side effects. They give me strong and I mean super strong anxiety which negatively affects my life and social life in every way. From my experience with asking other people this seems to be extremely rare and they don't have the same problems with the medication. I really wish I lived a few years into the future where maybe a medication that is suitable for me exists :(

One thing many surveys/studies do is to include "trap" questions (I'm sure there's a real name for 'em) which disqualifies any participants that answer them incorrectly.
>> I would phrase it like this: If you are using, in Prolog code, an atom of length greater than 1, then consider using a list of characters instead, especially if you want to reason about the data itself within your program. If you use lists of characters throughout, then no conversion to or from longer atoms is needed.

That's a very good point and I agree. It reminds a little of how, in formal texts, constants are most often single characters, especially when we just want to refer to some abstract constant in which case we say "c" or "a" or "b" or "α", "β", "γ" and whatever (I do the latter because I have a Greek keyboard and it's easy).

But there's a problem with that. In many cases in everyday Prolog programming it makes a lot of sense to represent constants by more than one character. For example, in the perennial family tree motivating example for ILP, you have (FOL) atoms like father(bob,alice) and mother(alice,dhalia) etc. That makes for a very natural notation- "bob" is clearly the name of a person. And then we end up with multi-character atoms that we might need to split or concatenate.

Representing such constants as lists of characters would be cumbersome and unnatural- for example father([b,o,b],[a,l,i,c,e]), looks awful, even if it's actually very practical. That's partly what the double-quoted atoms are supposed to achieve, but father("bob", "alice") again introduces unnecessary visual clutter. Perhaps the standard should be for multi-character atoms (or, well, all atoms) to be expanded to lists of atoms by the interpreter by default (without having to double quote) so that you know that writing father(bob,alice) is exactly the same as writing father([b,o,b],[a,l,i,c,e]) and you can then do some list processing, e.g. starting with father(X,Y), then append(X,...) and so on.

To be honest, I don't know much about how data are represented in memory in a Prolog engine- I think you know much more about all that, than me. So I can't imagine what the right answer is.

A compact, efficient representation of lists of characters sounds useful, for sure.

Mode maybe, but not the mean.
They aren't a new thing. They were (though more colourfully) the default android emoji representation for a fair few years. For this font they probably started from an older one rather than from scratch, and decided not to recreate everything that could instead be human rather than more abstract.
Science is about knowledge and not about serving the purpose of some people who define "progress" for some political or economic reasons, .. or because they want attention.

I wished everyone would read "Law, Legislation & Liberty" by Hayek, where he criticizes people who think systems, like economy, work like an organization. That is, that one can through rational planning and arrangement achieve some goal. That is NOT how markets, economy, society etc. works. That is of course an attack on the utilitarian principles.

Only uneducated minds could fall into the trap of thinking in exploitative utilitarian ways about everything, including themselves by self-abusive through productivity obsession. This discussion could not be more US American.
The context switches in NIO is between fewer threads, you just need one per core.

Memory contention is also playing into this.

The benchmark they made is asking the question in a way that it leans into the answer they need, just like 99% of all human activity it's biased.

When you specify a plugin via URL, dprint will download and cache it for you.

See: https://dprint.dev/setup/#custom-cache-directory

It also allows you to auto-update, though this functionality is currently quite basic and shall be improved in the future.

See: https://dprint.dev/config/#updating-plugins-via-cli

Considering these functionalities, I think it's fair to consider dprint a formatter with a built-in package manager.

If you have two people, you can have person A ask person B to “pick a random number”, and use heads for odd, tails for even. Don’t tell person B why you’re asking and my guess is you’re relatively random heads/tails. No studies that I am aware of to back this up, so people could be biased towards odd/even, but a bias correction could correct that too.
Like nose jobs this feels like the wrong solution to what really should be an almost non-existent problem. If you're very short or have mismatched leg lengths this sounds great (just like how nose jobs are great for people who have abnormally shaped noses), but I really hope people don't end up feeling pressured into it like they do into nose and boob jobs.

That said, I think it's something people should be allowed to do (as long as it's safe enough), but we should be very careful with letting this be pushed on younger and more impressionable people.
Yes, you are right on this one - I was 100% wrong and your corrected statement is right
I don't know where you are getting your information from. I've talked to plenty of women. Heck, I am on of those. And I've talked to folks that aren't women, too.

It isn't obvious. I've personally never considered height as a qualifier. I've known folks that prefer someone taller than themselves but they wouldn't turn down a shorter man. The preference isn't going to make someone pass, but more akin to preferring dark hair over light hair. You see, preferences don't always add up to action and most folks I've known wouldn't pass on someone because of height.

But if you are only using information from dating apps, your information is going to be seriously skewed for everyone. I might not always care about height, but if you are giving me a list of attributes and I'm looking for casual sex - I'm probably going to choose depending on my whims at the time. Height can make some positions better or worse, after all.

It is also possible that men think height is more important because they think height is important, much like overly muscled comic characters are overly muscled to appeal to men.
,,Colour is a key affordance, and this font only makes it easier to achieve a good UX.''

What mono color setting of the doughnut emoji makes it easier for my old mother to recognize the doughnot over showing one with multiple colors?

How does being able to specify the color for the empty / non empty battery symbols make it harder to achieve bad UX? At this point making it hard to achieve bad UX by UX designers should be preferred over making it easier to achieve good UX, as designers don't have the capability to do user testing on a huge variety of people.
They thought they exceeded the limit by trying to send $10000+$25, so given that the $10000 was coming back, they expected that they're again $9975 under the limit.
> to learn the 'nuts and bolts' of rendering

These nuts and bolts are very different between CPU and GPU. CPU-based libraries are painting pixels in bitmaps in system memory. Most GPU-based libraries are uploading indexed triangle meshes, and rendering them with weird shaders.

Worse, there're no good open source implementations of GPU-based ones. Microsoft ships an implementation as a part of OS (Direct2D) but it's not open source. Linux simply doesn't have an equivalent.

At least for initial versions, consider C interop with this https://github.com/memononen/nanovg It cuts a few corners (no cleartype for text, CPU overhead for repeated rendering of same static paths) but it's still good overall, simple, and easy to use.

> My only concern with C# is the cross compatibility

Works well on Linux, Windows and OSX, including ARM CPUs. Not sure about Android and iOS, never tested.

My largest concern with C# would be performance. Technically the language allows to code in any style, but most guides and examples are using OO-heavy one.
Less than ideal for performance-critical pieces where you'd want cache-friendly RAM layout i.e. mostly value types, minimize dynamic memory allocations (e.g. lambdas are using managed heap when created), and so on.

My largest concern with the project overall would be the scale. Browsers are incredibly complicated. In C# the standard library contains many important pieces (HTTP stack, WebSockets, XML, etc.), you'll definitely find good free libraries to deal with HTML and CSS, you'll probably find libraries to interpret or JIT-compile JavaScript, but still, the remaining pieces are huge.
However, the study concluded that person's ability to produce randomness peaks at 25. An increase in showing bad faith doesn't tell us anything about the ability to produce randomness if desired. Thus, if we accept the bad faith answers as part of the data, the conclusion of the study becomes incorrect, at least in wording.

It reminds me of the early Kodak 35mm film which worked great if you were white but they were horrible when using them with darker skinned people.

It took a complaint by furniture and chocolate makers that the photos of their products were shit before Kodak fixed it.

So were the chemists racist ???.

Obviously not but their subconscious bias of being white slipped in when designing it - it is the same as any algorithm or technology designed by a non diverse team.
Yeah, headed by "wild Bill" Donovan. They were like a knock-off version of the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) and the XX Committee. The British Intelligence apparatus in WWII was a thing of beauty.

The Germans dropped a bunch of agents into the UK and established a large and vibrant spy network, several agents earning the Iron Cross. Every single one of them was faked by the UK, either turned or killed and emulated. The Germans never knew until they lost.

The stories of the secret war during WWII are amazing.
