I'm really not clear what you're arguing so it's hard to work out if I disagree or not. Have you considered maybe writing slightly longer sentences?

Gosh. I'd better stop work on my open source project immediately then.

Hmmmmmm. In that case the "nodding head" emoji should evaluate to false when the locale is set to Bulgarian...

So - you're saying that mixing tabs and spaces in the same file is entirely unproblematic outside of languages with significant whitespace? Are you sure about that?

I would support a move for YAML to standardize on both "NO" and "Norway" evaluating to false. It seems an obvious win for consistency.

Tabs aren't a problem Spaces aren't a problem. What is a problem is not picking one or the other. There's arguments for both sides but it is critical to just take a side. I'm sorry your side lost but it makes everythin

Why unsurprisingly? I'm not familiar with console ecosystems.

Still not clear why the javascript needs to live inside the SVG. In my mind, the SVG would have declarative metadata and some external javascript would attach behaviour.

by andybak 3y ago
The example SVG: https://berthub.eu/trifecta/i/Tcp2y3TbBzU doesn't execute the javascript when visited directly in any browser I tried. Does it make a difference if it's embedded in a html page?

I'm not sure I understand you. Can you expand your comment somewhat?

Rather than being an issue of "institutional trust" it's an issue of a deep and continuing disagreement about the correct trade-offs to make in the face of a novel and quickly evolving situation - and one in which nobody had

Why?

The same reason there's been a huge resurgence in rediscovering "artisanal" methods in many fields. The same reason that photorealism as an artistic movement still exists despite photography existing. The same reason people s

It's a specific legal term - so the everyday meaning of the words isn't relevant as far as I understand it.

I bought a DNA test as an Xmas present for my partner because of the related functionality. Do any consumer protection laws kick in for such recent purchases?

Yes. I've been aware of the intellectual property debate at least back to the great crackdown on sampling around when Paul's Boutique was released. And following it in depth from around the time Lawrence Lessig made arguments to t

The orchestra at the siege of Leningrad and the theatre troupes in WW2 camps beg to differ.

I rather missed the point where he explains why immersive games are bad. There's some hand-wavey bit about "[they] don’t teach them anything valuable about the real world, and don’t relax them at all" but that appears to be

You're overstating considerably.

I would argue it is. I've got a Quest 3 sitting next to me and I think it's great. I can't speak for the deranged expectations, hype cycles and back-lashes over the last 5 years. And I think Meta's R+D budget is pretty h

The strangest thing about AI is that a lot of it's value comes from the fact that it's better at using the tools that we designed for humans than we are. It's essentially an admission of failure. I'm not sure what conc

Software shouldn't stop working. Unique and amazing things whither and die. That feels wrong to me. (Of course the problem is that it's damn hard to run old versions of iOS under emulation. That's the solution that would appe

This. The models are out there. Maybe they will just be illicitly shared but even if no new models are trained from scratch I suspect there will be many ways to use extend existing models without going back to scraped images. I always felt

If something is currently a problem and then a new thing appears that potentially makes the problem significantly worse - isn't that a good time to do something about it?

Collisions could be handles separately (they already are - you don't use the render mesh for collisions). Maybe a separate mesh, maybe an SDF or similar. UV mapping is a mesh thing. That's Stockholm Syndrome talking. ;-)
