Miryoku basically has the numpad, which I still think is dumb to be quite frank since the numpad was only made like this for archaic historical reasons.

Having the 0 on the thumb is quite a good choice though. As long as one doesn't have to move outside +-1 of the home row of keys (like one has to with numpad).
Or limit their size and number.
I use yandex over google/bing. Works well for western censored content - however it does have a clear disinfo bent for english language searches.
I still prefer it over google simply because it returns results like google used to in 2010 or so lol. Give it a go, you'll see what I mean.
That question interests me too, because I would imagine it would do quite well. Godot's failings seem to be ones of omission, as a rule, and having less built in might help in browser-based games, because there would be less to download to get started, while still allowing for the basics in many classes of game. I know it's strong on 2D.

I don't know for a fact it's lighter than say Unity, it just seems like it would be. Anyone with more direct experience here?

I feel a bit vidicated by that video. In the beginning, he basically says that he needed to run the rare last variant of the Pentium IV to get it to work and that most Pentium IVs would be impossible to get it to work.

Pretty impressive that it's possible at all, though.
Data-based architecture means that you have all data about an entity in a single place. Even though if you analyze the domain and all use cases you find that there are slices of that data that never interact together.

Example is storing customers address and purchase history in same place, only because they "belong to customer" in a data sense. This is very bad because it leads to entangled architecture where everything depends on everything and you cannot extract truly independent modules. The project implemented like this simply cannot scale beyond a certain size.

So no, data is not important but how it is used.
He never says the high birth rate is because of the Roman Catholic Church. Every place in Europe was deeply religious and had high birth rates at that time, regardless of the religion. He only blames secularization for the decline in birth rate. It just happens that the rapid secularization happened fastest where the Roman Catholic Church was strongest.
Flash games and animations often had a lot of static assets, like sound, bitmap images, or fonts. You could data-uri all that in your html file, too, but with all the base64 overhead it might be a good idea to compress everything afterwards (e.g. SingleFileZ, see my other comment). Of course only if file shipment is an issue for you, otherwise relying on your server's gzip compression might be enough.
Auto Cancel Order plugin is to facilitate users to cancel an order before it gets processed or accepted. This way, it permits customers with an order cancellation without raising any support ticket just filling up a simple form and it also helps eCommerce businesses with better order management and filtering out pending or processed orders. This plugin is very important to filter quality orders and it will reduce disputed and return orders.

> Hasn’t the growth of Islam in Europe been a large and growing political issue for the past decade?

Probably more like two decades by now :-) The political parties in Europe that pride themselves on anti-Islamism are themselves not religious all. And no one (of any significance) in Western Europe is arguing for a return to Christianity. Some parties advocate “Judeo-Christian values” but the various incarnations of this concept are nebulous at best and mostly completely unrecognizable to Jews and Christians.

At the same time, many Western European countries are now majority atheist or at least majority unaffiliated with organized religion, so, no, religion is not at all a bigger deal in European politics at all.

i used emacs and magit for 8 years before switching to neovim a few months ago. i’ve switched between the two for a while, but the truth is that emacs is just so much slower than vim, and hangs so often for my usecase (a large go project using eglot and gopls). since i had switched to evil a few years back, going to nvim+lazygit wasn’t a big change and now i don’t have to wait for emacs to block for seconds at a time.
In the frontpage footnote the author (who is himself a prof at Chicago) acknowledges all of the Chicago that went into the paper. The blogger is both Hoover and an exChicago prof. Pretty sure that phrasing is just backhanded compliments amongst friends and fellow conspirators.
That actually makes me really happy to hear tbh. Unpopular take but the support story scared me away from android for my second smartphone (and I buy for 5+ years), it just was a real mess with my cheapo Moto G Falcon, say what you want about iOS lockdowns (as a nerd/dev I think there are logical ideas there taken to sometimes-unpopular conclusions around eg app sandboxing, app store root-of-trust freedom vs permissioning social enforceability, etc) but $50 for a battery replacement plus a couple otterbox cases for 5+ years of ownership (with my 8+) has been a very reasonable overall package.

I don't mind "bundling" service into the initial purchase if that guarantees it'll be there and I also get a premium phone with walk-in service with first-party repair staff and parts (not at+t store or w/e either) etc. I've shifted to (lower-end/refurb) apple devices for a few things and I know the TCO involved and I find it favorable overall given the expected longevity and service levels and device quality.

But there needs to be more than one "gets 5+ years of solid support" option on the market so that shitty point A doesn't lead to a lock-in on shitty point B. At the end of the day competition is what keeps the ecosystems relatively honest and having options if Apple does a dick move is always welcome too.

> a WYSIWYG editor

I have had bad, bad luck with site builder/WYSIWYG editors (and not really that much luck with Gutenberg).

I'm quite fortunate, in being able to write page code/CSS. Also, my sites aren't really very active, so it's not such a big deal, for me.

I know the Medium CEO likes to lurk in these threads: I'd suggest that making Medium a viable replacement for sites that give their managers a great deal of control over presentation, could be a great idea. I'm fully aware of the enormity of that task. Just figured I'd put it out there.
The industrial revolution did not impact everywhere at the same time nor with the same magnitude of improvement.

I didn’t say attrition overwhelmed the overall growth pattern. Most evidence suggests that it’s a proportion that increases with overall religious population, with compounding or confounding. factors (e.g. increasing or decreasing participation in a broader secular society).

Haredim “get away” with minimizing participation in many ways, which makes their attrition rates lower than comparable religious groups. But that doesn’t last forever; compare the secularization of Jews in Austro-Hungary in the late 19th century.
Go try disabling the telemetry on Windows 10 after each update. On Linux, you can compile stuff from source anywhere. Or even use pkgsrc on top of any distro.
Take a look at LXC/LXD containers.

lxd init # choose defaults except use "dir" for disk
lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 my-ubuntu # or any other distro
lxc exec my-ubuntu -- bash

Clean, lightweight, full virtual machine every time that's much less heavy than Virtualbox. You can mess around in there as much as you want without creating the quagmire you speak of on your main installation, because it's a full, completely clean VM isolated away. Also lots of distros to choose from. Personally I find Windows to be super unstable once you've installed/uninstalled a bunch of stuff. Obviously, there's also Docker but sometimes you want a full VM to get a bunch of stuff working together.

I used to think like that: exercise literally as a prescription.

Then I bought a bike. Do you remember how fun it was to ride when you were a kid? It is just as fun when you are an adult. As a result, you don't carefully perform your prescribed dose of weekly exercise, you just go out for a ride when you feel like it.

It doesn't need to be a bike. The point is to try a few things until you find something that you enjoy doing. Then exercising won't feel like a chore. Instead, it will be that thing that you do for fun, which just happens to also make you healthier.

I was once working on a way to minimize PAC [1] file changes and came up with a hacky way to use DNS for this. The client would use isResolvable(parsedhost.pactest.int.domain.com) after some parsing of host, and use the result of the test to return either a PROXY result or DIRECT.

It resulted in an extra DNS query for every site being accessed, but because the query is internal and the client caches the result, it didn't add much load but otherwise worked well. Then it was just a matter of automating A record creation.

Specific changes to address previous feedback:

* Added an "above-the-fold" introductory example.

* Added the "eod" function to match the end of the input.

* Removed the "when" function and replaced it with switch syntax.

* Renamed the "bind" function to the "var" function.

* Removed "any_type" from the grammar.

* Introduced "bits" as a formal type. "expression" now refers to expressions of any type.

* The "bits" type can also be compared to produce a condition.

* Added the "!="" comparator.

* Split numbers into singular types and set types.

* Number sets can now be constructed using alternatives and exclusion.

* Removed "real" since it's just a number with no invariant. Use "number" and "numbers" instead.

* "signed" and "unsigned" have been renamed to "sinteger" and "uinteger" to emphasize the integer invariant.

* ieee754 special floating point values NaN, inf, and negative 0 are now generated via special functions, and have no "number" representation.

* Modulo division now uses truncation, following with most popular languages.

* Undefined arithmetic operations are no longer allowed.

* The variadic parameter specifier can only be applied to the last argument of a function (bugfix).

* Clarified what the parameter value 0 does in some functions.

* Removed alternatives operation for type names.

* Added note about Unicode equivalence and normalization.

* Removed character encoding length restriction.

* Switched out some contrived examples for real-world examples (UDP, Ethernet, RTP, TR-DOS file descriptor).
> how can he pin down the demographic decline as caused by the Catholic Church’s decline ?

He gives several data points for secularization, such as the language people chose to use in their wills. Since there is a strong general correlation between low fertility and low religion, it seems likely that these are causally linked in 18th century France, rather than coincidentally happening at the same time.

It's a harder question why France in particular secularized at this time. The argument he very tentatively proposes is that freedom from religious coercion leads people to tend to become more religious (as can be seen by comparing the US to Europe over the last few centuries) and that France, due to its strong counter-reformation, had an unusually high level of religious coercion.

> Why wouldn’t it the other way round, with the core causes of the French decline also triggering less religiousness ?

What do you mean by "French decline"? Its loss of status as a superpower starting in 1815? That postdates the decline in religiousness.

WordPress is plain crazy.

Marketing people insisted on WordPress so we reluctantly put it off in its own isolated network and expected bad things to happen. And, they did...

- WordPress consultant hired by marketing people while "editing the theme" introduced an infinite loop which caused OOM killer. That's when we learned you can point-click your way to editing actual php code in the admin web interface! Complete and total chaos and anarchy.

- Content manager "upgraded the SEO plugin" which downloaded from the Internet some hot-new code which used some language features beyond the version of php we were running, and bam, the whole thing was 500s, and everyone freaked out!

- Content people messed up the syntax editing the theme trying to change contact info in the footer, site wouldn't load anymore, they panicked and reverted the whole theme back to the stock default, and then ops people had to help them resurrect from the daily git check-in of the 1gb docroot they set up after the last time this happened.

It's a rough ride all around...

It’s not always driven by a desire for novelty. In my experience it’s just as often driven by some amount of reflection and desire to improve on what came before. I think there’s a lot of middle ground between chasing shiny new things and change that corrects systemic shortcomings of previous approaches.

The right wing characterization isn’t entirely unfair. The fact is if you remove all incentives for the investment of capital and still want growth from investment you need to centrally control capital to allocate it. This does create a large centralized authoritarian regime and while perhaps it doesn’t have to descend into meaningless elections it does seem to control the kinds of things we generally don’t want 51% of the voters to do the other 49%.
This site most definitely delivers on the "fundamentals" it promises. Regardless of if you're planning on using a higher level engine like Unity or even something super simple like LÖVE, I would highly recommend at least skimming through. There's just no substitute for the low level understanding it maps out once you need to debug or do something tricky with 3D or shaders. Case in point: it clearly lays out camera matrix construction. Most libraries provide a magic function for this based on camera parameters, which is all well and good until you need to extract or modify the matrix itself.

Modernization drew a lot of people away from traditional religion. But Hasidim and the Amish etc are "post modern". They have developed various cultural features to "immunize" themselves against the temptations of modernity. There is no reason for this to start failing at any particular point, except perhaps when they become too much of an imposition on the rest of society, which pushes back on them.
