Today... a typical PC mainboard schematic might be hundreds or thousands of pages

Go find one and take a look. Seriously, they're out there. Google an OEM name followed by "schematic" (quoted, because otherwise anti-repair Google will misdirect you to owner's manuals and other shit) and start reading. I'll challenge you to find one that's over 100 pages, because I personally haven't seen one. They're closer to 50-70.
I wrote an entire section about Soulsborne in my original comment but felt I was biting off too much.

Soulsborne games succeed because of exactly this. And you might notice that they’re drifting towards mainstream and that’s actually causing them to shed all the little details of what makes a Soulsborne game.

Elden Ring was ridiculously forgiving and I found it boringly easy. But it made me go back to Demon’s Souls.
... and then refuse to do business with them, obviously?
Weird. I imagine the vast majority of users want the website to block out the garbage they see (trolling, spam, shills, bots, disinformation).

Without filtering the platform would be unusable noise and die. They need a more nuanced request.
It sounds like the domain was deleted. that is absolutely an action a registrar can take and you would have a pendingDelete status in addition to a redemptionPeriod status on the domain.

If I had to guess they kill an account and delete any of its domains, which is absolutely the wrong way to go about handling that. The domain is already registered so you move it to a holding an account for further resolution. just because you terminated an account you shouldn’t be deleting a domain.
Or for something that is only somewhat subtle, it's a chicken and egg problem.

$1.8M is not bad, but the article also brings up a similar case in 2010 where a vase found when cleaning up a house was estimated to be worth $2M but was eventually sold for $83M?!?

https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/nov/13/familys-old-ch...

Edit: it gets better. That $83M was never paid by the buyer in what may have been a protest organized by the Chinese government against the sale of looted treasures by the British. Meanwhile, the sellers were in the hook for a $14M estate tax that was based on the auction price.

>That’s because, while Google expected apps to use Google’s own billing system for purchasing digital goods, it rarely actually enforced the expectation

>The billing system crackdown

>Starting June 1st, Google said it would remove apps that didn’t comply with its billing system rules.

>Oddly, in March, Google announced a pilot program to let app developers use their own billing systems. The pilot program includes Spotify but not Amazon.

The article says its the billing system, and mentions it multiple times. I'm not reading any court documents, as I am not a legal scholar to offer an opinion on them. I would invite you to write your own analysis, and I'm sure there will be people who would be interested in your scholarship.
It's not just space, global warming could lead to a complete ecosystem collapse (think Mars). We may need to move everything into climate controlled environments.

I'm no SPAC expert. When I first heard about them I wrote them off almost immediately and never had an interest to dig in any further. It seemed like the business equivalent of a subprime mortgage and it was only a matter of time before it caught up with them.

In an alternate reality it would be so cool if you could run MacOS apps on an open source OS. Maybe Darling[1] will one day get us past the point where you could run any MacOS app on Linux (not just simple GUI or CLI apps). That being said there aren't really any apps that I use that aren't available on Linux. But the option to would be nice!

I think if you're going to make claims like this you should include supporting evidence.
The goal is to avoid entering the word. In this case 'focal' was the word. You entered 4 guesses, but only had 1 valid guess, + the 'wordle' left so it was impossible to finish without undoing.

On a side note about my actual Wordle stats: I’m currently clocking in at 97% after more than 110 plays and my highest streak is 37. Now I’m getting so good at this that I finish it within a few seconds. I’m mentioning all this because when I started playing it for the first time it used to take me more than 20 mins. Funny how practice makes you almost perfect. :)
I've never had a problem with them, even when doing some relatively complex things. And their support has always been very responsive. I don't know what happened in your situation, obviously, but did you try calling? Or chatting? I assume you did not, so while I sympathize with your painful experience, it sounds like user error.
As a noteworthy point in this discussion, Intel has the schematics for some 8xx series chipsets (Pentium III, early 4 era) reference designs still available on its own site:

They started becoming far more secretive after that.
Even better, for something similar to React, but much simpler and more streamlined, I turned to Svelte. As a backend dev, it was the first frontend framework that I actually stuck with.

In retrospect, I think what really confused me was that React components return HTML, which is a weird semantic I can't intuit, after a few attempts. Svelte lets you declare everything separately, while being more succinct and readable (IMO at least).
You can lie to anyone, and get away with it. But the moment you lie to yourself you'll eventually get caught in a trap your lies create.
It was presumably appraised around 30 years ago. The value of Chinese antiques probably appreciated quite a lot since then, given the relative growth in purchasing power of people most interested in owning them. Not just ethnic Chinese, but also those globally with disposable income for collecting rare things in general.
It does except in cases where it might be dangerous to (e.g. `node@16` doesn't by default as that could conflict with plain unversioned `node`). You can generally `brew link` the package anyway if you need.

And that's a possibility for any business... Private businesses are run into the ground all the time, including those that raise funds through friends & family or angel investors...

(Not saying you're implying otherwise here, just building on the fact that a closed SPAC is not more guaranteed to be a stable business any more than a private business).
They may have paid a few lip services to openness, but very seldom (apart from their legal obligations) openness of source. They did very broadly embrace interoperability when it suited them, and it’s increasingly suited them except in a few key competitive areas. And they’ve quietly relented in areas where they were overly aggressive resisting for very little business purpose (eg AV codecs).

I’d be surprised if, in a perfect universe of their imagining, Apple wouldn’t fully embrace open source… because they don’t see much value in software other than integration. Their resistance to standards and openness now is almost entirely about protecting trade secrets. Which definitely has flaws! But it’s a substantial difference from Apple in the early 2000s where they couldn’t coherently tell a story about what was public or why.
This. And this is the problem with signing too, in general.

Signing is all well and good, but it doesn't do anything to demonstrate that the signed contents were prepared by a particular person. It only means they probably came from one of a set of computers.

If they had adjusted to uploads require a hardware backed challenge pass, I'd be much more enthusiastic. Releases don't happen that often, adding a step to demonstrate presence to it would not be a huge burden.
Not to disagree with your point, but commercial paper rates have been more in the range of 0-2% over the past couple years.

Yes. I actually chose that option at first, since I wanted to recover the domain quickly. But they didn't reply. So I just registered with Cloudflare and got the refund.
The key part of this is “upon request” if you delete their domain beforehand then it gets messy. There is an argument to be made that it shouldn’t have been deleted in the first place.

Now as the registrant you have right to redeem the domain so you could recover via that route. So the domain CAN be saved.

If the working age LFPR drop wasn’t a combination of earlier retirement for both men and women who did well in the strong aggregate economy of the the 90s boom and men doing more higher education, why are the big drops of working age LFPR in the period it was dropping:

(1) A big drop in men at the youngest age bracket included (25-34), that is not reflected a decade later in the 35-44 group, and

(2) A smaller drop in both men and women in the oldest age category of the “working age” group (45-54).
I think part of the “good-faith” SPAC pitch was that since there is so much VC money now and companies can close huge series D rounds that there is less need to IPO early. Later stage IPOs don’t give the public as much upside as IPOs used to, so SPACs were a way to give earlier stage investment opportunities to the public.
0.9 marks the first "Pubic Release" in the software's development.

An empty bus weighs 20,000lb or more. That’s around 80X the wear the trucks this bill targets causes, and you probably can’t put 80x more people on the bus. Why not axe the public transportation nobody with a choice actually uses?
One reason that I've understood is if you're a smaller company that can't afford the whole IPO process, this is a way to get access to public markets in a simpler/faster/cheaper way.
Because you have incredible bandwidth and latency for locally attached storage which costs nothing more marginally. Cloud storage from an end machine isn’t particularly fast access. Imagine installing from an s3 bucket without downloading the binary locally.
And an imperative codebase which looked like something out of Matt's Script Archive. I often wonder whether a startup today could pull-off something similar.

Wikidata is very inclusive. If there is a reliable public record of a thing existing (at the extreme end of the scale would be a park bench, tree, light pole) then it could be included. Wikipedia is quite selective with content included, generally requiring multiple public records documenting the thing, and for the thing to be something that the Wikipedia bureaucracy deem to be important enough to justify an article.

Hence Wikidata could have an item for every memorial park bench listed at [1] but Wikipedia just has a single page [1] describing what a typical memorial park bench is, and providing some examples either in list format or as a gallery of photos from Wikimedia Commons. Wikidata items for the memorial park benches could have properties for coordinates, official name, person or thing commemorated, date of construction, area the bench resides (e.g. park), length, height, width, construction material, identifiers assigned by heritage or government bodies, artist who designed it, benefactors who funded it, links to significant events related to the bench (e.g. used in a movie), etc.

Biggest thing for me is that this library won't get abandoned like the ones that the intro section for this library refers to. Unless the value prop is really, really good I would stick to the bigger options for that reason alone.
Early Dylan owed more to Common Lisp than to Scheme, especially in its object system. It removed some of the more complicated CLOS mechanisms (e.g. :before, :after, and :around methods) but it still "felt" a lot like Common Lisp before its syntax was de-parenthesized.

The first Dylan compiler was written at Apple Cambridge [Massachusetts] Laboratories in Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) which was itself an Apple Product. Later, Apple decided they didn't really want Dylan after all so they sold the Cambridge lab, later renamed Digitool. The MCL product lives on today as Clozure Common Lisp (CCL).

The transition from MCL to CCL is a dramatic story unto itself. I should probably write down what I remember about it someday.

purchased an ipad mini for the singular purpose of running foreflight on it - an electronic flight bag application which replaces a whole bunch of frequently updated aviation charts and printed material, gives convenient access to aviation weather data, simplifies managing a digital logbook, plus lots of hand-calculations like weight and balance that are not difficult but are more annoying to do by hand. in flight the ipad sits in a claw mount sunction cupped to the canopy where it's easy to keep an eye on adsb traffic, pull up airport information, and so on. there are other EFB apps that will run on android tablets but foreflight is more or less the standard and default used by most people so far as I'm aware.

since owning it i've found it's also very handy in the kitchen for viewing recipes as it can be set in place and read without being picked up in the hand as a phone might require.

Given the terms -- funds are retained contingent on a deal and confirmation of the deal -- I wouldn't call that a gamble. Gamble would be keeping the stock after the fact or buying it post formation -- if it was a "less valuable company."

Also I think at some point we need to reconsider the bail out approach of lending companies because they are too big to fail. Also separating institutions and trimming through their lending money practices makes better sense than bailing them out, because "too big too fail."

When I borrow money I am assigned an interest plus collateral rate based on the inflation/cost of money at the time+projected and my risk of defaulting. On average the "bank" has zero risk (and I have liquidity). If the bank gets greedy and like some institutions that we are all well aware of in the recent years, forgets to do basic risk planning and hedge appropriately flounders that, then if most people default it is their fault -- people paid them for that event. Start bankruptcy proceedings, liquidate/fire the executive team, absorb valuable teams/assets, renegotiate with company's lenders and move on. This happens constantly B2B. Business bankruptcy is different than individual one (at least in the U.S. and some other E.U. countries I am familiar with) -- due to liability plus other measures. Somehow politicians came into the story of systemic risk and allowed certain parts of the economy to become immune to such issues... (Which lead to the Wall Street/Big Bank cockiness.)

> For example, in music examination, the outcomes change drastically if you blind the examiner from seeing the student or knowing their name.

FWIW, the study that "proved" that appears to have been a pretty bad study. So, in reality, no: people are not terribly prejudiced, and things don't change significantly when you blind the examination.
Were dinosaurs warm blooded? New study says yes
There is zero evidence for this. The same way that there is zero evidence that playing “violent” computer games turn people into serial killers. Most “known” truths talked about in the media is 100% pure BS.

We're really just debating the meaning of "simple" from:

> SQL as a query language is truly horrible once you get past simple data queries.

I think things start to get dicey as soon as you're past basic SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE [1], ORDER BY. CTEs, subqueries, cross joins, case expressions, etc. certainly aren't advanced, but they do surprising things at times, and it can be hard to tell what's going on under the hood with the optimizer. I'd prefer to work with a full-fledged programming language or the underlying primitives the optimizer translates SQL into, but SQL isn't a problem for me personally. The problem is that I've had teammates be utterly defeated by it.
