You don’t think logic has value? Aristotle famously formalized logic.

Aristotle formalized logic though, so credit where credit is due.

As far as I can tell, this is only about MS Office, not about operating systems. But I cant read the whole article due to paywall.

Frames had multiple UX issues. For example they didn’t work well with search engines. Since search engines indexed individual pages, the search result would link to the page without the framing. Some developers would counteract this with js

It is a stretch to call Plato “One of our first written records”

What record is that? Just out of curiosity.

> when they want to change something, it's almost like they just do it? Film production at this level have a lot of process. There are many teams and the director or showrunner acts as “product owner”. The crew is very hierachical

The best UI is the UI the users are already familiar with.

There is no technical substance in the quotes though. You could use them against whatever language you don’t like. I’m sure they are taken out of context, but I find it weird how people are so impressed by these generic insults.

Why do you think so?

Hilariously he begins the petition by disparaging the university, the city, and the entire state. I wonder how well that went?

So you are a pagan knowingly worshipping false idols all day, except you turn it off temporarily while attending church?

Princes famous conflict with the label was because they has the final say over what material to release, and they allowed fewer releases than Prince wanted. So re-recording would not change anything.

by bazoom42 1y ago
Princes problem was different than Swifts. Prince had a recording contract where the company could decide what to release of his work and they released less than Prince wanted.

This might have an interesting effect on the kind of movies produced in the US. Presumably other countries will hit American movies with reciprocal tariffs which will hurt the international market for Hollywood. But some genres play much b

What I have heard: Danes question orders. Swedes follow orders. Norwegians does not question orders, but does not follow them either unless they feel like it. Don’t know if this is true.

There was an ill-advised XHtml 2.0 project which was supposed to be incompatible, but it was abandoned. Currently xhtml is defined as an alternative “serialization” of html, but the semantics are exactly the same as html.
229.
by bazoom42 1y ago
It is.

by bazoom42 1y ago
XHTML was just a more strict syntax for HTML. It didnt make it any more semantic.

This assumes ruling parties start out as “good” but becomes “bad” over time. A more pragmatic view is that different people and different interests have different ideas about what is good and what is bad, and politics is the stuggle between

First-past-the-post tend to lead to two-party systems while proportional representation tend to lead to multi-party systems. But you can’t have proportional representation in presidental elections since only one candidate can win. Countries

Good point - only the tools of oppression really works in 1984, all consumer products are crap. It is suggested this is deliberate, but even that might be propaganda. And apparently it is a common workplace injury to get ones arm caught in

The movie Brazil is a take on 1984 where the technology does not work very well. The thought police is not all-seeing but quite inept (although just as brutal). The plot is set off by an actual bug getting caught in a typing macine evetuall

If you have made a bug in the specification of the pattern to match, then you will have the same bug in the hand-rolled implementation of the matching. It will just be more difficult to find the bug since the pattern is not explicitly speci

Complexity in the standard library is not that relevant. If you make your own custom dictionary implementation, you increase complexity of your code base compared to just using the one in the standard library, even if your own implementaion

.net also supports verbose regex.

by bazoom42 2y ago
Surely complexity is a factor? A procedual implementation will necessarily have the same essential complexity as the regex it replaces, but then it will additionally have a bunch of incidental complexity in matching and looping and backtrac

Covering all cases? How would that be possible? Even if we only consider ASCII strings, there are 16.000 possible two-character strings, 2 million possible three-character strings and so on.
