Why does it annoy you?

If something might be harmful to my kids, I would ignore what I said earlier and protect my kids first.

I don't give a shit if I will be labeled as a hypocrite. My family and kids come first no matter what.

Wouldn't you do the same? Would you be like oh damn my kid has to die because I can't be a hypocrite?
Perhaps left-wing satire of right-wing hypocrisy?
I’ve often thought if we just paid each woman with children under 12 120% of the average weekly wage per year and abolished all other government regulation and payments we’d get more children at lower taxpayer cost. At the least they’d spend it more carefully than the government.

The event type could just be exposed as a regular property so you could write `element.onclick.add((ev => ...)` so you would get static typing without any need for magic strings.

Magic string are use all over JavaScript for different purposes. For example createElement('P') could just be new PHtmlElement() ...

In other cases magic strings could be replaced with enums.
The problem is very real, and Unicode certainly made it worse, but you can have the same issue with ascii. Capital I and l looks the same in many fonts and ad-hoc mitigations have been made long before computers (eg license plates). And you’d be surprised how few non-techies know subdomain hierarchy rules (facebook.com.foo.bar).

Add stress, dyslexia, poor eye sight etc on top of those and you can see how this becomes a real issue. Humans simply aren’t very good at string equality.

As for mitigations, in ascii only you could color code lowercase/uppercase/numbers/symbols differently I guess, enforce font that renders glyphs different enough (probably monospace), highlight the domain name, etc. But even these solutions only go so far, and doesn’t naturally translate to all of Unicode or all situations where identifiers are needed.
According to this tweet[1], Musk's plane is now on a FAA Source Blocking list which means the flight information is not public and hence the bot is tweeting information that it should not be and is banned according to doxxing rules.

I cannot confirm any of this but I'm not going to jump to conclusions either. Whatever it is, it'll become apparent, I've no need to make bets.

> why are we treating a prisoner like this? Is it helping something?

Yes. It is deterring whistleblowers. The government has an interest in spying and torturing people who expose how they do that deters whistleblowing.

> In the annals of national security, the Obama administration will long be remembered for its unprecedented crackdown on whistleblowers. Since 2009, it has employed the World War I–era Espionage Act a record six times to prosecute government officials suspected of leaking classified information. The latest example is John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer serving a thirty-month term in federal prison for publicly identifying an intelligence operative involved in torture. It’s a pattern: the whistleblowers are punished, sometimes severely, while the perpetrators of the crimes they expose remain free.

True, depends on the facts of the case.
> The Latin script used by English is exactly all the letters you need to write English.

Only true in the sense that that is how English spelling is currently defined. If you wanted to come up with a script for English from scratch, it would look nothing like the Latin script. It would not be isomorphic to the Latin script.

Compare this inventory of phonemes in General American English, with 24 consonants and 13-15 vowels, of which only 5 are diphthongs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_American_English#Phono...

I played boardgames 251 times in 2022.

Here's the play counts of games we played at least 3 times in 2022, dumped from the BGStats app I use to track plays.

45: Azul

36: The Isle of Cats

36: Tsuro

22: Lost Ruins of Arnak

15: Luxor

14: Hive

9: Carcassonne Big Box 6

9: Forbidden Island

6: Everdell

6: Project L

5: Watergate

4: Endless Winter: Paleoamericans

4: Paint the Roses

4: Hidden Leaders

3: Paris

3: Lift Off! Get me off this Planet! Expanded Deluxe Edition.

All plays are with physical copies of the games.

The Isle of Cats quickly became our family favourite. We play it with our two kids (8 and 6) in "family mode", and in normal mode with our gaming group. Highly recommended.

Lost Ruins of Arnak is wonderful at 2, 3, or 4 players. The Leaders expansion is worth it to add some more depth.

Luxor is my 6yo's favourite game, but don't let that make you think it's only a kids game. We have all the expansions and there's really a heap of scope in the game.

The Everdell plays were with the New Leaf expansion, and it really brought back my enjoyment of the game. It solved a lot of the problems I'd had with the base game (mostly related to the meadow cards getting stale if no-one wanted them).

Endless Winter felt a little "mechanics soup" to me, but it's solid. Unlike Arnak, it also felt like it wasn't very well balanced across the various things you could focus on.

Hidden Leaders was the stand out 6 player game.

I really love Paris and want to play it a heap more.

Azul, Tsuro, Hive are all worth picking up as "lets just have a quick game" options.

Games we only played once so far but are very keen to play more: Mosaic, Rococco, Windward, Paladins of the West Kingdom.

Edit: my kids and I had a quick little "test play" of Forgotten Depths and I'm really keen to play it with them a heap over the holidays. A co-op dungeon crawler style game with 3 female characters. The design is really sweet.
A problem is: this functionally isn't how HOAs end up working. The opposite is true: higher density living areas (in order of decreasing density: apartments, condos, suburban subdivisions/cul-de-sacs) generally have HOAs. Lower density areas (rural) don't. In the US, in most cities and counties, the "sprawl" isn't rich; its poor.

At the high-end of the high density spectrum, it does make some logical sense that there are communal resources and structures which the local government has never traditionally paid for; roofing, plumbing inside the structure, pools, 24/7 security, whatever. Its the middle-point in that spectrum where things become less defensible. A road is a road; water is water; keeping these maintained is literally why we pay taxes.

Local governments have essentially figured out how to have their cake and eat it too: property developers come in and make the investment to develop some former farming land or whatever. Tons of new houses go up, which brings in people, who pay taxes to the local government. Then, the local government gets to wash their hands and say, we're not maintaining it (depending on the development; not all work like this), as if what happened is different in any way from how land development has traditionally happened, except that they got a private company to foot the upfront bill.

Power-hungry HOA rules are a really similar thread of reasoning. Traditionally, we had this thing called "a shitty neighbor"; and if they got really shitty, you'd call the police. HOAs move the goalpost on the definition of "shitty", then bypass the police in their enforcement mechanism; also saving the city money. The argument is, generally; that shitty neighbors depress property values; but the largest negative impact you'll ever see to property value is the HOA fee itself.

So, the final argument for HOAs: Just don't buy a house with one. The US housing situation is already at an absolutely critical point. There's little empty land left that is affordable for private individuals to develop. There are huge amounts of large plots; usually former farm-land or factory sites; which get purchased by development organizations, developed, and HOA'd. Removing HOA'd houses removes the vast majority of new constructions in most metro-adjacent counties; which turns the already-critical housing shortage into a nightmare.

I think its reasonable to assert that HOA fees can exist toward the maintenance of either a shared structure, or generally, shared resources which don't fall under the responsibility of the county's municipal functions (e.g. pools). Everything beyond that is extremely difficult to defend, and literally needs to be made illegal. I understand that this isn't as easy as signing a bill, if only because overnight many counties would see their burden of responsibility increase dramatically; but it needs to be done.

Additionally to me it makes much more sense as a cheat than as a legitimate play.

Notice that people allegedly involved in the cheating aren't good poker players. And that as shown by some comments in this hn thread there are people who think that reasoning "I think he bluffs so I call" makes sense.

The whole evening she was setting it up taking how she is gonna read him and call his bluffs, etc. She was fishing for the spot like that. It can come once or twice during the evening or not at all. Of course it makes sense that she goes for it rather than waiting for a better spot that might never happen.

She could have got e.g. a binary signal that her hand is good and didn't bother to rethink if it makes poker sense or maybe she thought it did.

For what it's worth, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual about the conditions he describes, it's just another day (month, year, decade, life sentence) for any prisoner at a supermax prison like ADX Florence:

> if you know the cars will stop and let you go, this power will corrupt.

> Extend this thinking to ... - all able to simply cut off a self driving car knowing it will give way.

But this is already the case; if I jump into slow moving traffic in a (western) city centre the cars will let me through, possibly even without honking. The only things to fear are distracted drivers (which is the same with the AI, because I can't know whether the AI sees me) and the occasional madman, but those are rare.

What's more interesting as you point out are situations where other drivers will take advantage of the AI's adherence to rules and safety. That's going to be especially fun in cities like Napoli, where things like driving through red signal are completely normal. It's probably not going to work there at all in its current state.
That is amazingly cool.

If you haven't tried micro-cap, I'd recommend checking it out. It became free a few years ago when the company liquidated, and it's orders of magnitude more powerful than LTspice (and quite a bit more intuitive, but still not great). Don't expect any updates though.
But nobody knows how to engineer that today, even in principle.

We need both engineering advances, and a better scientific understanding of plasma behaviors, new materials, etc.
It's not "printed", it's cultured. Not sure about this company's process but the ones I'm familiar with use a method called 'precision fermentation'. It's like regular fermentation but they control exactly what protein is produced by genetically engineering microbes to produce exactly the product that is wanted.

You could theoretically do this at home but for now it would be prohibitively expensive. Who knows maybe in the future there will be companies delivering the starter bacteria and then you can feed them your own nutrient solution in your own tank. I doubt that will be a thing any time soon though. No Star Trek type replicator just yet, sadly.

not only that, but in some states (LA, Missouri or KS, forget the rest) calling the cops on domestic abuse will get both partners put in jail. They claim it's just in case the situation is more nuanced than "husband beats wife", but realistically, it's to terrorize the abused person into *never calling the cops again*.

What the U.S does to other countries to protect its interests is another story. Of course it sucks to be the little guy, especially when you forget that power still matters in this world and you piss off powerful countries/interests.
U.S does not shy (like all the powerful countries) to say that it will protect its interests regardless what you think is right or wrong.

As I said. It's very exhausting to hear the rambling of Blanchard, Lawrance and Baily that are contested by every professional psychological association (and indeed WPATH, despite well-funded hijacking attempts) repeated as gospel because it legitimizes the digust reflex of a certain kind of transphobe.
That doesn’t seem to be the case. The tests are strangely interleaved, but if you read carefully:

- cread and cwritten are always the same, which is required by the standard

- they differ from c

Meaning fputc does return the value actually written, not the value input.

And OP spends the entire essay freaking out about that. Well really that fputc would operate on octets when the implementation’s char is larger than that. You can see it in the second section, TFA complains that TI / DSPs return 2. Which, mind, is the entire point of fputc returning what it wrote.

This sums up the problem with the pro-cheating side – the argument boils down to:

I was driving through heavy rain recently and had a small epiphany: human drivers are willing to take way more risks under adverse weather conditions. There was no way the car could stop quickly from 65mph on a wet road if something appeared suddenly in front of it. The robot driver would really have to drive way slower than anybody else in order to be safe. That would be annoying for the passengers. In some countries it would also be constantly honked at.

macOS and iOS spoken content issue
I hope it's appropriate to be posting this here. If not, I apologize. I am not here to solicit tech support. I just would like to explain what's happening and possibly get some info from people that might have an idea about what's going on and if there could be any unintended side effects.

I am not sure how long it's been happening but today I was playing around with spoken content and I found that it was saying the wrong thing. It was reading 18,641,135 as Eighty million ... instead of the correct 18 million. I found that if I make it 641,135 it says that correctly. If I change to 8,641,135 it also says that correctly but if I change it to the 18,641,135 it goes back to saying 80 million.

Since I was experimenting at this time I realized it's not the usual voice I have it set to. I checked and it was on Siri (Compact Voice 1), so I set it to the preferred Siri (Voice 4) and found that it reads the number correctly.

I am just curious what would cause a sound profile to read a numerical number incorrectly and could this cause other problems anywhere or would just hearing the wrong thing be the only consequence here.

MacOS Ventura 13.1

Interestingly the same thing happens on my iPhone and listening to it can tell its a different voice that on my Mac. I went searching and found that it was set to American Voice 4 in Siri & Search but that's not the voice that's getting used. So I'm not sure where you set the voice for when you highlight and select Speak in IOS. But the same issue happens there.
Elon Musk sells yet another $3.58B of Tesla shares
I would be curious to know if this has changed in the past 39 years.

Edit: I'd also be curious to read the actual testimony. The wiki blurb in that link is vague enough that one could argue it refers to some of the editorial decisions that are referenced in the Esquire piece that this thread is about:

>Although the list claims to be a numerical ranking with full autonomy from The New York Times Book Review, some of the sources I spoke with believe that an element of editorial curation must be at play. “To my knowledge, The New York Times tracks sales of books, and the sales are what is ‘supposed to’ decide where those books sit on the list. However, the truth is, it's much more editorialized,” Sarah*, a book publicist who has worked at two Big Five houses, suggested to me. “There is quite a bit taken into consideration—i.e., are the book sales mostly bulk buys? Are they mostly indie bookstore sales? Are they mostly Amazon sales? Even which list the book would be considered for has a huge effect.” For example, whether a book is considered for the Hardcover Nonfiction weekly list or the Advice, How-To, & Miscellaneous weekly list might affect whether it becomes a best seller at all.
