> stepped up from working 100 hours a week to working 120 hours

That's 17 hours a day, which seems unlikely (for an extended period of time) without some kind of performance enhancing substance. Also, I'm not sure I'd want to use the end product of that kind of death march for anything important.
I'm afraid I did too- the overblown purple prose of the intro sequence made me roll my eyes, and also had too many errors for my liking (the vo says "conscious" instead of "conscience" or something like that, which as a voice artist and sometime voice director, annoyed me - did nobody pick that up?) Some of the performances I found excruciatingly flat and unnatural. I couldn't get more than half an hour in.
I think that explanation proves perfectly that it can be translated.

Depending on the context, you'd want either explanation. If you're learning Japanese you'd probably want the explanation of how and when it's used, and the literal words that compose it.

But if you were translating a manga book and it used that phrase, you would probably just put "Ahh, we're finally here!"

I think there's just something of a bastardized use of the word "untranslatable". As long as a language can convey abstract concepts, you should be able to translate anything into it.

The indicator stalk is also super helpful. Not only can you use it to tell it to change lanes or to to prevent it from doing so, you can change the route with it.

This blog post commits the common sin of showing a screencapture of a terminal emulator session that moves at the speed of thought of the creator rather than presenting things in a reasonable way for the person actually consuming it (i.e. the one in the audience who's trying to work out, without the creator's a priori understanding of what they're doing, the relative significance/insignificance of whatever's flashing on the screen).

This happens constantly with software demos. It shouldn't. It's such a silly thing to mess up and takes more effort than just not including a screencapture whatsoever.

The point the parent was making is that the file is 188026773 bytes long. One site represents that as 179 MB (base 1024) and the other one as 188 MB (base 1000). Your complaint is therefore with one of the websites and not with the uploader.
I have been using Google search for many years now and for the past few years have been wondering if the search has really gone bad or is it just me. I remember the days when searching for something used to bring up a few sponsored links separately and I could go page after page with different results on each page allowing me to access a wealth of information and extending my reach deep into the internet. Now, it is all sponsored links and the same ones page after page. It is so sad to see and the worse part is that I am not seeing any alternative. Bing is equally bad, DDG only marginally better. I hope there comes an alternative soon but I also realize coming into this space is certainly not easy.

The lower TCO depends on the intended lifetime of the vehicle. For delivery use cases where the expected lifetime is probably on the order of 5-10 years, it’s believable that TCO is lower.

But if the expected lifetime is “as long as I can drive it,” then TCO is probably not lower, simply because the maximum lifetime of an EV is lower than that of an ICE vehicle. At some point the car will fail – it will need battery replacement (every X years), or it will depend on obsolete infrastructure, etc.

Good idea, that could make for a pretty interesting eval. It's similar to a timed test... we don't really care how long it takes or how much scratch paper you needed as long as you deliver the correct answer within the time limit.
JLC is 10 days order to arrival, for US east coast, with assembly. 8 days without. You're using DHL, right?
I'd have to agree. The market for electric vehicles in the US seems to be saturated. If they can somehow add in a plug in hybrid, I could see them gaining sales. That won't happen though.
So far in April, Threads has averaged an estimated 28 million daily active users, so people who have opened the app at least once in a 24-hour period.

In April so far, X has averaged 22 million DAUs...

X's monthly active users in the US handily beat Threads.

I have no idea how to interpret these numbers. DAUs are higher on Threads, but MAUs are higher on Twitter?

>Problem: coastline shape is a dependent variable. Amount of water is the independent. Looking at S.America and Africa only makes a jigsaw puzzle in modern times. During the ice ages, will those continents still look like a match?

This isn't quite correct. The continental shelf maintains the general shape of the land above it. Any amount of lowering from ice ages is still going to be within the shelf break and give the same outline.
Thanks for such a detailed response:)
jQuery has a fluent interface and often shorter/smaller/more convenient APIs on top of that.

DOM APIs are quite literally 90s era Java-style APIs.

While DOM APIs have pulled in a few niceties over the years, some of them are really anemic (e.g. querySelectorAll does not return a proper Array-like object). Worse is combining them. Almost every API is a single-shot tedious step-by-step chore.
I think the subtlety is that cephalopods/corvids/etc probably don’t hold false beliefs about the following:

a) things they care about

b) things they are cognitively capable of understanding to be false, and

c) things they can plausibly falsify for themselves by obtaining the relevant information.

So an octopus can have all sorts of misconceptions: indifferently making false assumptions about a cave they aren’t going to explore themselves; bizarre pseudo-magical explanations about human technology far beyond their understanding; incorrect guesses as to another octopus’s mental state. But what makes a conspiracy theory more than a mere misconception is the effort spent reinforcing the falsehood, using tools and methodologies which reflect a theoretical capability to understand why the conspiracy theory must be false[1]. (In particular the problem of people who cynically spread conspiracy theories without believing them.)

Conspiracy theories and other misconceptions motivated by politics or ideology are unique to humans because language + complex social organization + some intangible “humanness” means that abstract ideas and information can have great social power, and hence power in the real world, regardless of whether these ideas reflect reality.

[1] Note how many modern conspiracy theories are “backed up” by a slew of “evidence” which takes great analytical effort to refute line-by-line.

As a pro photographer I’ve always been intrigued by serendipity and luck. For instance, the amateur who photographed Mt. St. Helens moment of “the big one” eruption with a spectacular landslide preceding the event has made money licensing those images every year since.

Yet this is an example of something that required foresight and planning- and just a bit of serendipity. It’s a great image.

I’ve had some trouble illustrating the difference between these two concepts for people not in the profession. Yet my professional success has been entirely based upon the latter. However even with all the planning and preproduction work, most of my success has relied on serendipity to a degree. Sometimes this results in failure because this last little ingredient never happened.

People will feel free to comment on the project as a whole anyway, so why go to the bother of making a special thing out of it? :)

I am surprised you didn't find more discussion, though. I'm pretty sure I first heard of the project and have seen it here multiple times. I think it's more often (or in the past) just "Spritely". If your search included the word "Goblins" instead of just "Spritely", that might have narrowed it down excessively.
This is only true if society as a whole sees it this way as well, but too often this is not the case. If you don’t start certain things at certain ages, the doors close to the next step, and then it becomes progressively more difficult to get on the track because “now you’re too old to start at the beginning” and the system is so rigid it rejects people without the prerequisites.

It’s really quite ridiculous but something I’ve experienced myself. The trick is to not hold so tight to the end result and accept that if the system won’t let you in, find things adjacent without the same requirements.
Then why use it? I switched to DuckDuckGo years ago and it's fine.

Live by regulation, die by regulation. GP's point is that since this rule is made by this Administration, the next Administration could undo it. GP is right. As long as one Administration has the power delegated to it by Congress, and so does the next one, then the next one can change and even reverse the previous one(s)' regulations.

The court recently found (in W. Virginia vs. EPA) that Congress cannot delegate power in "major questions". This rule might not be a "major question", but given the vagueness of the statutory foundation of the FTC, it's possible that all of the FTC's work is on thin ice. The Court would likely not rule the whole FTC and its past regulations unconstitutional, but it might start looking askance at regulations that seem remotely like major questions.

Is this rule a "major question"? I don't know, but I'm inclined to think "no".

I own a Pocket Operator, my head's not in the sand about their cheaper offerings. The Pocket Operators are cheap toys though, you cannot tell me with a straight face that it's about to prop up your next EP. It's a mass-produced calculator PCB they forgot to make a case for, and sell at insane markup.

The same goes for the KO and indeed, the OP-Z. The OP-Z doesn't even have a screen, it has no business costing $499 for being a bunch of buttons with a USB-C plug.

> find me anything else that can sequence sound, video and DMX (on the go) like OP-Z can

How about the mandatory paired device it requires to sequence everything? That iPhone/iPad is certainly capable of doing that itself, alongside multiple things the OP-Z can't. Nevermind how far you'd get with a $300 laptop and $200 DAW.
sorry I mean 'autopilot' is also a silly and self-contradictory name.

>Without constant updates, software that is part a a larger ecosystem will eventually breakdown.

This is why we should be so skeptical of tight software integration with durable hardware (e.g., cars and appliances with operational lifespans 10+ years easily). Software has a pretty short half-life, especially software that integrates with internet services; vulnerabilities get discovered in third-party components and remote APIs shift out from under you.

Durable goods manufacturers have little skill or interest in long-term software upkeep (maybe they like the profits and the rent-seeking, but not the actual maintenance), so the most sustainable design is one where the software is easily seperable and replaceable from the core durable item. Manufacturer-specific internet-connected infotainment in cars ain't it.

All of that is perfectly fine, of course, so long as you recognize that it’s not the correct or better way to study literature. It’s the way you were taught and I’m guessing most of us have learned different methods for learning the canon.

For example, I take notes in a separate book. The thing crucial to your preferred method is not at all needed for mine. In other words, most ereaders are not optimal for your process but just fine for most of us.

And yes, even for classic great books and not just amusement. I suspect you’ll find a higher than average portion of readers here are familiar with the books you’re talking about. We’re a reasonably erudite group.

I think what the writer means to say is there is a cultural aspect to language for words that don’t have direct equivalents in other languages.

Interestingly, Chinese colloquially refers to languages as the same as culture. For example, Chinese is 中文, literally Chinese culture; English 英文, English culture; Japanese 日文, Japanese culture. The suffix 文 signifies culture.

There is also the word 語 and 語言 to signify language; this is more formal but without the connotation of culture. But my point is culture is indelibly tied to language.

Completion for program P should be written and maintained by the "owner" of program P - and installed with program P. This is of course difficult when there are many different "shells" that each have their own "language" for specifying completions. A multi-shell completion library can help with this problem.

To me it make sense that completion for program P should be handled by program P itself. That way, completions are unlikely to get out of sync with the application, and the completion handler can use the same option parser as the application. A way to do this is to use a special "hidden" switch to request completion.

Specifically the DomTerm terminal emulator (https://domterm.org) handles its own completions. Bash allows you to register a command that handles completions for some other command. The following tells bash that to handle completions for the domterm command it should call domterm with the magic "#complete-for-bash" option followed by the existing line and position.

complete -o nospace -C 'domterm "#complete-for-bash" "$COMP_LINE" "$COMP_POINT"' domterm

When domterm is run with "#complete-for-bash" as the first argument (chosen to avoids accidental use) it processes the remaining arguments, and prints out the completion suggestions to bash.

I don't know how to do something similar for other shells; suggestions welcome. Some other shells (such as Fish) include help text as part of the suggested completions. Handling that would require a more complex protocol. Perhaps one that returs a result in JSON format?

If a such a protocol were standardized (perhaps invoked by a "#completions-as-json" option?), we just need to solve a final piece of the puzzle: How does a shell know if a command understands the "#completions-as-json" option? My suggestion is that we define a new keyword-value pair in the "desktop" file specification; the shell would search for a P.desktop file,
