> Would you allow an 8 year old to wander New York City unattended

No, but that just means NYC is a crappy place. I regularly see 8yr olds wandering Tokyo alone.


This is part of what's referred to as "vision therapy". Optometrists would tell you to go to a paid expert---because purportedly some people do it wrong---but IMO you can just YouTube it.

As a German, I can tell you the problem is that none of these translations are common here, as the whole concept of a speed bump is something entirely ungerman. In fact the first time I've ever seen them was in Mexico, and we were joking that there isn't even a word for it in Germany.

Sure, you could translate it as Bremsschwelle, but I bet your metaphor would confuse most people.


You can get much more realistic results at a smaller scale for e.g. waterways using iterative methods -- simulating rainfall and erosion. I imagine the same would be true at mountain ranges using some model of your lateral forces to influence the heightmap. The main issue with this will be the computation time, naturally. Not that that should stop anyone, but it's likely the reason you don't see it in shipped games.

Also retired the turn signal and shifter stalks. But can they be hired back?

Question: In light of the article, is it fair to lump Bell Labs in with Xerox PARC like that? Bell invented a lot of stuff which directly improved the telephone system and communications in general. Possibly because they owned every problem from end-to-end. PARC invented some really great space-cadet stuff which was semi-related to document production, but Xerox had no idea how to sell it, because it wasn't 'make copies'.

Among non-glass options, CR-39 (1.5 index) is a good choice for computer glasses with prescriptions weaker than -5:

  - thickest
  - cheapest
  - high (58) Abbe number
Thickness and weight can be mitigated with a smaller frame, e.g. vintage options.

I can't believe it's even legal to sell those. That seems simply insane.

This is called the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at someone 20ft away (or just close your eyes) for 20 seconds.

I wouldn't call it "the" solution: it's part of a complete breakfast.


The entrenched are the ones deciding the features. This is their goal

> you're telling me it's possible to be functional enough to eat and sleep for a week, but not know that your wife is dead and the barking dog needs food and water

Absolutely, in late stages of Alzheimers you’re a vegetable, but basic bodily functions still work to some degree.


To me that feels like a technicality. It’s the same experience you’d get with a button + JS except with more latency.

Except that the change in the impact also happened with artificial sweetener.

Yeah, it seems like a pretty contrived example and theory.

I think what the OP is trying to articulate is that they are aware of more genres now? Maybe AI makes exploration of niche genres more exciting and participatory for them. They are finding new genres and "expanding them", but it's just bc they were ignorant of them (or unengaged with the content of the song style) before they could participate in this way. I dunno, just trying to think what they might have experienced that would make them think some new universal was coming true * shrug *


Not in my experience. No user visible changes.

There might be some fixes to bugs


a u16 can address it, which is nice. it's also the minimum virtual address allocation on windows. not sure if either of those are the reason, in this case

16-bit offsets doesn't limit you to 64K unless you require byte-alignment. 128K or 256K is usually trivial and even 512K or 1M is often viable.

Nah. I’m fat (6’5”, 450lbs), and my A1C is excellent. Maybe it’s all the coffee I drink, though I do use artificial sweetener…

Sure if you want to be too terse. I'd say most people would want

Start|Save|Settings|Info|Exit

At a minimum but given the style, both that and yours would be super cramped given the font size they wanted.

Further, the post is about German

Start|Speichern|Einstellungen|Info|Beenden

(no idea if those are correct)

Also, those buttons I made up. I what I remember something like 通信 being one button.


Do you have a source for that?

1Password is also significantly more polished and easy to use than LastPass.

Oh I thought the worst would be the brand gets even worse promotion and goes even more in the tank in the public’s eye. Somehow.

I believe the stated goal of HTMX's developer was to integrate the functionality of HTMX into HTML.

Wow...thank you for this phrase. I always thought it was impossible to find prescription lenses online, and there's a box with literally all of them...

The whole thing runs inside of a terminal, it would be hard to open anything else


You can verify who someone is without knowing specifically who "who" refers to. We do it all the time. I give a one-time code to service X and it knows I am who I say I am, but the code I gave is virtually worthless information. All it knows is that I have credentials, and I am the authorized person to have those credentials because I have physical access to some device, unknown, which is known to belong to said person.

The inferencing logic needs to sample the file, so (1) the file path must be determined at compile time and (2) the file must be available to be read at compile time. If neither condition is true---like the filename is a runtime parameter, for example---then the user must supply the type in advance.

There is no magic here. No language can guess the type of anything without seeing what the thing is.


Let me know what you guys think! :)
