> Ok, but where does this table come from when we need to save a file? It would be a big complication if you had to construct, and transmit 64 independent numbers as a parameter. Instead, most encoders provide a simple interface to set all 64 values simultaneously. This is the well known “quality,” which value could be from 0 to 100. So, we just provide the encoder desired quality and it scales some “base” quantization table. The higher quality, the lower values in quantization table.

I never really thought about how that "quality" slider worked (besides making the compression lossier), but it makes perfect sense now! It always amazes me how much I take for granted.

I always treat compression like a black box: "-crf 23" for H264, PNG and FLAC are nice but MP3 320s and 90+ "quality" JPEGs are good compromises, etc. And that's just for the stuff I deal with, there's no telling how much lossy compression goes on behind the scenes on my own computers, let alone all the stuff served up over the internet. There's so much lossy compression in the world, from EP speed on VHS tapes to websites reencoding uploaded images to every online video ever, it's crazy to think about.
The proof is (relatively) trivial, since MS rolled out a chat-signing feature a while back. Basically all chat messages go through a similar handshake to the user-server-auth one when users first join a server. So if a chat message gets reported, MS can be pretty certain who did the reporting, and that the reported messages were, in fact, made by the reported party.

The real problem is the direct attack on the autonomy of server operators. Each Minecraft server is a separate community, and they should be left to their own devices to form their own internal expectations of behavior and speech. If Microsoft wants to moderate behavior on the servers they own (Realms) or actively advertise (Whatever's going on over in Bedrock), that's fine. But when I'm paying the server bill, the only interaction with MS I want is authentication (and maybe the skin server).
One major change that spurred specifically the Catholic church into politics was the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) which permitted priests and bishops to participate in politics.

Torontonian here, there's a market for brands like LV/Hermes and others to basically splatter their full logo across the articles of clothing/accessories. People do buy this stuff. You know who. I'm sure it exists in other countries. It strikes me the same as you - it looks ridiculous and in my eyes devalues the brand that they would go to the degree to produce something so gauche. But, here we are.

Maybe we're just oldschool and we aren't in with the new kids. I've always preferred as few logos or brand signals as possible. Materials, aesthetics can speak for themselves. I order my cars de-badged from the getgo.
This description is entirely missing its effects on eastern areas like the Philippines and Indonesia and the monsoon season in India, and cyclone formation over both the Atlantic and Pacific basins.

Just telling you the personal responsibility/slut shaming argument for banning abortion makes your side look weak as hell. At least those who claim fetus are alive have a somewhat respectable looking moral framework but when you reveal it's really about blaming women for having sex and forcing them to suffer for it it no matter how bad it is for woman and offspring , shows how nasty many "pro life" views are

He went further than that, he explicitly called them out as "errors in need of correction".
Amen. I posted similar in a shorter form. The ineffectual legislative branch has ceded power to both the Executive and the Judicial over the last fifty to sixty years. Until the legislative branch stands up, this won't be resolved.
> This is using the power of the state to compel women to give birth to a child after having carried it for 9 years.

Those women can simply get their abortion done in another state, they're not "forced" to give birth to a child in much the same way a person threatened with losing their job wasn't "forced" to get a vaccine. Hey, you said it.

> You clearly believe that if they were forced to compete on equal terms with Chrome, they would loose.

Actually what he said was that they can't compete on equal terms.

If Apple were forced to open it's platform, they wouldn't be competing on equal terms, Google would have a clear advantage. Google can put up Ads for Chrome on all of it's properties for free. Apple cannot put up Ads for Safari on all of Google's properties for free.

What if part of the agreement to open the iOS platform to competing browsers was that all competing browser makers must agree to provide equal advertising time to all other competing browsers across their platforms?
Oh, that's perfect. I hate how new apps get focus on macOS. Of course, now they'll "fix" it because I found some useful feature somewhere ;) .
they also enjoy demonstrating via such rhetoric that they feel themselves to be untouched by the consequences of such political acts.
Except that the court relinquished its power to decide on these matters. It may not seem like it now to you, but it actually gains credibility by the courts, because they are not put in the middle of such a consequential decision. It allows the legislature to act. This isn't a power grab, but a relinquishing of power.

So why do I not have the right to X, where X is some random thing I want that doesn't violate the other rights?

Simply going "Oh, there are more rights" isn't a good answer. I'm pro-choice myself, but Roe vs Wade was terrible legislation, and is a fantastic example of tactical victory, strategic defeat.

Did you read the amendment? There doesn't need to be explicit protection for medical procedures or abortion. 14A protects people from being deprived of life and liberty by state action or legislation. Eliminating access to abortion can deprive someone of their life and / or liberty, so eliminating access to abortion contradicts 14A.

It's common to say "political" when a topic in question is challenged. But everything can be. Zeitgeist, and context changes, so the very same sermon becomes "political". For what I know Catholic position on abortion didn't change from OP's childhood. His perception probably did.

Honestly, indie gaming would benefit from a better distinction between the company and the contributor (similar to bands and musicians or films and the director/producer/cinematographer). I know not everyone wants to self-promote, but I would love to see what games certain designers. contributed to before they had an opportunity to lead.

I hope every Zachtronics contributor can get the resources to make their next dream project, and the entire industry becomes a pinch more Zach-like.
He also lives in DC, so even if he did rule that the states have the right to criminalize interracial marriages, HIS is unlikely to be affected.
I'd love a newer, similar-in-tone treatment of the subject. It seems to be remarkably accurate, still (his treatment of "Class X" aside, which was way off the mark, which he should have known even then) but surely there's room for updated observations.

The rhetoric each side adopts precludes/ignores the other side's arguments, and thus there is no communication.

Moreover, whatever your opinion of abortion rights, Roe vs Wade was not based on solid legal reasoning and it was foolish for liberals to depend on it over the last half century instead of explicitly codifying it into law or the Constitution.
Here's the larger context of what Thomas wrote:

>The Court today declines to disturb substantive due process jurisprudence generally or the doctrine’s application in other, specific contexts. Cases like Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U. S. 479 (1965) (right of married persons to obtain contraceptives)*; Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U. S. 558 (2003) (right to engage in private, consensual sexual acts); and Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U. S. 644 (2015) (right to same-sex marriage), are not at issue. The Court’s abortion cases are unique, see ante, at 31–32, 66, 71–72, and no party has asked us to decide “whether our entire Fourteenth Amendment jurisprudence must be preserved or revised,” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 813 (opinion of THOMAS, J.). Thus, I agree that “[n]othing in [the Court’s] opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” Ante, at 66.

>For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,” Ramos v. Louisiana, 590 U. S. ___, ___ (2020) (THOMAS, J., concurring in judgment) (slip op., at 7), we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents, Gamble v. United States, 587 U. S. ___, ___ (2019) (THOMAS, J., concurring) (slip op., at 9). After overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions, the question would remain whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated. For example, we could consider whether any of the rights announced in this Court’s substantive due process cases are “privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

>To answer that question, we would need to decide important antecedent questions, including whether the Privileges or Immunities Clause protects any rights that are not enumerated in the Constitution and, if so, how to identify those rights. See id., at 854. That said, even if the Clause does protect unenumerated rights, the Court conclusively demonstrates that abortion is not one of them under any plausible interpretive approach. See ante, at 15, n. 22.

This is actually in important and interesting legal question, because the Court has largely side stepped determining a mechanism for how to identify those rights, and did so in Roe.
For the record, Ginsburg thought that Roe vs Wade was a mistake, for this exact reason. Momentum was lost to get actually good legislation in, and the vulnerable Roe vs Wade was put in instead.
They also curate posts in ways that have nothing to do with the topic.

Bound methods simply has the potential to be a tiny bit more readable:

`thing.doWork(arg)`

`doWork(thing, arg)`

`doThingWork(thing, arg)`

The first example is marginally more readable IMO. The second one sucks from a human perspective because we don't immediately know (unlike the IDE) that the function signature only accepts Things. The last one addresses this but is even longer, and we still have to mentally unpack the args.

IMO there is not much profound about OOP, but it can lead to slightly more readable code if used appropriately.

How does this not invalidate the states rights argument?

Like I agree with the NY ruling but it’s explicitly limiting the power of the state.
That.. seems excessively alarmist. It is on par with Sirius XM Channel channel reacting to the news by saying, and I am paraphrasing, 'they are going after all our rights next'.

I might agree in an abstract manner it is not a final chapter the same way just imposing red flag laws is not the end goal for gun control activists, but the paragraphs that follow are a little out there.

At the time of the founders private ownership of cannons was legal, which was the most powerful weapon at the time.

Framers likely would have claimed that private citizens should be able to own working tanks (gun and all). They believed in a monopoly of violence solely predicated on the ability to muster an army, not on bans of certain types of weapons.

But maybe we shouldn't give a fk about framers intent. That's where the real debate should be on...

Its somewhat hypocritical that the supreme court takes away an inherit right. That was part of the constitution. It was a demonstration of right to privacy concerning your own body. And they take it away and call it conservative.

You really couldn't make this up.
The fact that you view this as a fight (using the word "opponent") is the problem.

It's not a boxing match. The fact that it has become one means your electoral system is flawed.

In a proper system, you have different people with different goals (eg Greens who want less pollution, businesspeople who want lower taxes, socialists who want worker's rights, etc) and they have to compromise (greens cancel the carbon tax is businesspeople accept to ban a certain type of very toxic manufacturing, for example) and WORK TOGETHER.
This is my trouble with Rust. Thankfully Ada will do the same things addressed in this article while having a much more readable syntax.
Probably state or child itself. Though reasonably the child should have rights to at least mother's estate.
As someone considering learning Rust, the article put me off fast with the long preamble to even explaining what the issue was. I really hope it's not that complicated, but even your rebuttal fills me with fear - "corrupted data [......] being modified by unrelated operations on stack". How would you explain that to put a C programmers mind at ease?
To be honest I am pretty fine with it. For a few reasons:

1) Abortion (in my opinion) should not be a constitutional right. I can't name a country that has abortion as a constitutional right. More generally: the constitution should care about super-general, universally-agreed values, let's leave everything else to the legislative branch!

2) Roe v. Wade was a bad decision. Before you downvote me, read the 14th Amendment: how the judges could infer from it at the time a right to abortion is beyond me! I can squint my eyes a lot, but the right is simply not there!

Edit: downvoters, go read the 14th Amendment, and tell me if you can honestly read a right to abortion in there.
Your naïveté lies in the fact that you don’t realize that Supreme Court justices are elected by proxy of voting for the president that nominated them and the senators that confirm them.

It stands to reason that on average, if you elect conservative presidents and senators, you will get conservative justices, and vice-versa.

You seem to assert that there are wolves hiding in sheeps’ clothing, waiting until they are confirmed to show their true colors to save the country. I counter that reality is more boring than that, and that these people can be taken at face value by virtue of what they’ve said and done for decades.

Furthermore, I think yours is an apologist/denialist stance people use so they can get someone in the courts they truly approve of, while hiding behind the “hope” that they won’t be as bad as everyone else knows they will.
There was a time when the democrat party stood for abortions being "legal safe and rare". None other than Bill Clinton said this. Perhaps this decision will now allow state legislatures to pick a reasonable time limit. This does not have to be a wedge issue.
The association with the "cheap" brand is just a flimsy justification to be used by a bunch of Americans who drive 4Runners and Pilots (mostly, there's probably the odd Explorer in there) and have a desire to feel superior over people who "flaunt" their wealth or use it "irresponsibly".

All these vehicles cost in the same ballpark (or at least have large overlapping ranges) so roughly all the same people have access to them. It's not about status. It's about tribe signaling.
people are very disorganized and afraid and bombarded by social media and news media that distorts reality. no one thinks they can do anything and the only people who act in an organized way tend to be antisocial types who just want to take things and control others for their benefit.

I can also include this interesting verse, Ecclesiastes 11:5:

> As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

Quite simply, according to the Bible life begins at conception, our capacity for good and evil begins at conception, God chooses us at conception and our status of being in the 'image of God' starts at conception.

The above verses and doctrine are not 'Calvinist', Calvinism is the belief that God's choice is the primary cause of salvation as opposed to man's choice, but that distinction is irrelevant here.
>> Lying about the truth in front of the Truth Himself is grounds for punishment, but from God alone.
> Is that a threat?

Not a threat - a description of what is going in Numbers. The woman is taking an oath before God that the child she is carrying is hers. If she lies, she is lying to God. I don't believe you are lying, I think you are genuine - which is a very good thing. I hope and pray that "you are not far from the Kingdom of God" could very well be said of you.

As to "life", "breath", "personhood", "ensoulment", and "birth" - how deep do you want to go?
