In Hypertext you would say

<a href="https://example.com/aresource">A resource</a>

In essence the anchor text becomes the petname and is human readable while the href points to the URL of the resource referenced by the link described by the petname.

If you want a name authority, use URLs. What you alias them to is up to you since only you use the alias. If you need the alias also to be globally unique, tough luck! Use URLs there as well (or invent new naming schemes and try to get them adopted).

True, but IDEs are currently severely limited by nature of textual sources (e.g. macros are notoriously tricky to deal with). It's much easier to start from a good model for IDE and derive textual reprentation and input method from that.
There is a lot of potential in Tolkien's works. They're already exploring the Rohirrim. Rings of Power will expand on Galadriel and Elrond. It would be interesting to see something specifically about the dwarves of Moria - particularly the time period of Balin's attempted recolonization.

I see that you posted one 17 hours ago, looks like a commercial site.

When you first post your link, it appear on /newest if you post at a busy time it might fall off the first page of /newest very fast.

However, if your post gains enough tracking (comments/upvotes) it goes to the front page.

Most people have lots of links with no votes at all. Don't expect your link to make it to frontpage.

You gain karma when people interact positively with your content (submissions and comments) you lose it when people react negatively (downvoting, probably flagging).
You lose more from a downvote than you get for an upvote.
Interesting. Do you know of any places banning seed oils entirely?

What about olive oil? It is not seed oil but does contain unsaturated fatty acids. Would it be considered safer than seed oils?
Everyone is different, but personally I won’t buy a keyboard without separate Delete and Backspace keys, without Home/End/PgUp/PgDn/Insert keys, and without a dedicated Menu key [0], for any kind of serious work.

I’d also imagine that one is prone to bump into the rotary knob if one is not fully conditioned to that keyboard.

I applaud the T-shaped cursor block and the full-sized function keys, although it would be useful to color the function keys differently in groups of four (cf. the standard PC layout).

I’d also rather do without an Fn key, as it messes up muscle memory from regular desktop keyboards.

I like the idea of using different key shapes for the number row and the cursor keys for tactile recognition, although I’d have to try it to see if those shapes are any good for actual typing. I feel that slightly concave keycaps will always be the best.

Also, there isn't a standard way to identify a company and to validate its actions. A slightly better one (at least where Latin notaries exist) is that the company secretariat make a declaration of whatever and include a certified copy of the company registration that certifies that the said person is the secretary of the company, but you end up with the ID problem except that it's for companies. Maybe a standard "passport" identifying companies? Did I re-invent parts of apostille? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention)

Looks great and I'll keep my eyes peeled for when you launch. Rotary encoder is an interesting idea. (Presumably reporting a key-press for each click left and right?)

I know you're only at prototype stage, but visually I'd say the giant numbers are a bit jarring, and having some but not all of the Fxx labels displaced from centre on the function keys depending on whether there's a symbol there too looks a bit strange.

I've had fun building several tensegrity sculptures and I agree that it makes me very wary about bridges built on the idea. They have very unintuitive properties that are difficult to appreciate by just looking at them. They appear to be rigid but are actually springy and without pretensioning they are a floppy mess. It seems to be very non linear too with the structure lacking any rigidity as you tension and then snapping into place at the very end.

There are some very interesting similarities between tensegrities and bio mechanical structures. I used to think of bones as the scaffolding that holds up my meat parts but it's more like the meat parts and the bones work together as a tensegrity structure.

IIRC FreeBSD changed the default value to keep the old crypto enabled by default in a minor release after they imported a newer OpenSSH version. They imported the new OpenSSH release because the old one was uncomfortable close to end of life to include in a new release and they changed the default cipher selection to a less secure one to maintain compatibility within a major release. If minor releases locked people out in the name of "you shouldn't be using this anyway" fewer people would install them in production. You would end up with more end of life systems in production, because nobody dared to touch them. Oh and if you do it often enough most users will migrate to a saner platform.
However smoking is still legal, in Denmark and the US. In the US, tobacco use kills 7x as many as the oft-cited opiate “epidemic”, yet you don’t even need a prescription for cigarettes.

Either we need a nanny state, or we don’t. Pick one and be consistent.

Personally I’d prefer the world where we mandate labels and remove all restrictions on sale/distribution/use of chemicals for ingestion, along with HARSH penalties for causing others to ingest your byproducts without consent (ie secondhand smoke). Let adults make their own decisions (both for what they ingest, as well as how they plan to finance the subsequent healthcare required for bad choices).

We have no freedom if we’re not free to make choices that others regard as “bad” (that hurt no one but ourselves).
Very nice.

You'll have a hard time pitching this to some "hard core keyboardists", but don't forget that this keyboard is for you, not for them. If you don't want an ergonomic layout, or split and tenting, or an ANSII enter key, or Cherry keys, then so be it. This looks like a great project and a very good implementation.

A lot of animals do eat insects however, so it is not that they are dangerous a priori. Our evolutionary ancestors, small mammals/primates, most likely did eat insects. We somehow evolved them out of our diet. Strange actually, since they are quite abundant.

> Perfectly reasonable way to read it, and maybe even how it's intended.

Actually the full judgement[0] is a bit clearer that that's exactly what how it's intended, but not in a jingoistic nationalist way.

One argument in this case was that there ARE crimes which are justiciable in the UK which are not committed within the UK or its territorial water, (treason, murder, bigamy, and offences committed on British-flagged ships on the High Seas, I think child molestation was mentioned by OP, but not in this court case—I'm not sure about this one, although it wouldn't surprise me if it's on the list).

So it is both possible and precedented for parliament to pass laws which, when broken, would fall under the jurisdiction of British courts even if the offence itself did not take place in the UK. But this isn't one of those cases.

> This is as opposed to e.g. the US, where ordinary laws are actually bound by a constitution.

The UK also has a constitution, it's just not consolidated in a single document. Parliament is bound by a variety of restrictions on what they can and can't do in terms of passing laws. However, it is, of course, possible to change these restrictions, or pass the law despite them, similarly to how it is possible to amend the US constitution, and pass a law which is later found to be unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

I believe similarly to the US, any law can be passed, and if its constitutionality is challenged, then there is a Supreme Court who will pass a judgement, and so apart from the simplicity of having a consolidated and codified US constitution, there's no major difference between the two countries in that respect—any law found to be unconstitutional will be considered void.

Agree completely though that basically no-one cares enough to try to sort this out.

I'm not even sure what mechanism there would be for doing so? To actively police Sealand until a crime occurs, so that the perpetrator could be arrested and brought for trial to see if the judge would consider Sealand under their jurisdiction this time?

Problem is smoking is very obvious what you are doing.

Then you should argue: "Food safety laws should be very limited in it's restriction and it should be up to the consumers to carefully read and study all ingredients to pick what they eat".

A difference I've realized in nutrition: we don't always know what's in what we eat. Whether this is a nanny state move or legit consumer protection from misleading producers isn't as obvious as smoking, where the risks are widely understood and documented directly on the product.

De Facto describes situations that exist in reality (in fact), even if they are not legally recognised. Sundown towns exist in reality regardless of the law, and non-whites driving through them can face harassment and even arrest or prosecution for no other reason than being non-white while driving. The reason given for the arrest or prosecution will be a book crime, but that's not the actual factual (de facto) reason for it happening.

Sitting 8 hours per day also is very harmful, as is not walking enough, or eating meat, or looking at screen for too long, or drinking alcohol, or exercising too much, driving a car also is risky, walking in the streets too, you could even choke on a peanut so be careful...

No, even modern farm raised pork is dangerous to eat undercooked.
I completely agree. I worked as a cook when I was younger and so I had a considerable amount of formal and informal training in safe food handling. None of differed from what I learned in my families kitchen, and our never really had food poisoning with the notable exception of my father who ate a bad lobster after being repeatedly warned it had sat out too long (trunk of the car in summer, long story, stubborn man who could not admit he was wrong, and he was so sick he had to go to the hospital).

I think a lot of the time when people say they have "food poisoning" what they really have is digestive distress from eating poorly handled food. There's an incredible lack of awareness around safe food handling (which is really very simple) and most of it stems from laziness or inattention. Even if you only have one cutting board, cut the chicken last, and clean the cutting board correctly, etc. Don't leave a knife on the counter and use it over and over. Wash it with the rest of the dishes. If it was used to cut meat, don't use it again until it is properly sanitized. Don't leave leftovers sitting on the stove or counter for hours, esp. things prone to going off. And so on.

Okay, I'm confused. If I'm reading the paper right, it wasn't an 11 percent reduction caused by eliminating transfats. The total reduction was 11 percent, of which 11 percent was attributable to trans fat with the rest attributable to lower smoking, statins, etc. The headline seems way off. Am I reading the paper wrong?
I believe it is mac-inspired, where cmd/alt+arrow are usually used for that.

But overall, yeah, people split around mac/60, tkl and full. No idea why keyboard makers tend to fix on only one of them. Budget reasons - yeah, but isn’t it strange to cut off large parts of potential customers.

I don’t agree that mandating documentation of the ingredients in the food/medicine products sold commercially really falls under the “nanny state” category.

It’s more just standard consumer protections. Good decisionmaking on the part of the end user has accurate information availability as an essential prerequisite.

It’s not onerous to require sellers document plainly what they are selling.

It is very onerous to tell them “you’re not allowed to sell that”.

I really want something like that pretty specifically. We still use text to edit data in SQL database, but you can also use queries to view or manipulate it. That's the idea.
It's generally easy to avoid smoke, or at least you're aware of it (in case of someone smoking nearby).

Meanwhile if you eat at a restaurant, takeout, etc, you don't know what they put in your food.

I think it would be fine to allow it in the cases where it's properly and visibly labeled, and ban it otherwise. But it would be hard to inspect all restaurants and so on to check they are following the law.
Judiciary Committee Publishes Report on Competition in the Digital Marketplace
The problem with the epidemic was/is that you can’t easily decide whether you want to take the risk of getting ill or not.

And trans-fats are often used in places where you may not be aware of them.

Smoking is a clear choice, and you are aware that you are smoking and increasing your likely hood of getting ill from it.

So I don’t think the three things are exactly the same or should be treated identically.
Animal Crossing in the Shire.
