That went into effect a year and a half ago, and big companies were all well aware of it in advance. See for example this trade group that formed more than 6 years ago to lobby against the change: https://investinamericasfuture.o

I agree that what we call "math" is just a set of rules that could be defined differently, but a standard like IEEE-754 is downstream of math, and is explicitly defined as a method to perform arithmetic (which is part of math). So

The page is asking which language answers the math question correctly, not which one implements a particular standard correctly. Perl6 also has a correct implementation, it's just using a different standard than the other languages.

Why wouldn't it result in humans spending dollars? The ads are real and the visitors are real, it doesn't matter if the content is real. In fact people are probably more likely to click on an ad if the page it's on is generic

You can still find terminal interfaces for a lot of these things, including Slack: https://github.com/jpbruinsslot/slack-term . I don't use Emacs but I imagine you could integrate that somehow if you wanted to.

Yes, but it's very hard to get fish to use them. Some species are almost completely blocked even if there is a ladder.

I really have to disagree, I'm not sure your memory is representative of the coverage most people saw. I'm looking at the New York Times, which I think is a good example of mainstream US news. While the Ever Given was stuck, they

This is incredibly cool. I have been trying to do this exact workflow manually by reading something in Kindle and copy/pasting to DeepL and Anki and it sucks. If the author is here, I'm wondering if you would be open to PRs for ot

I don't remember the catastrophic tones, but I would guess there was heavier coverage for the Ever Given incident because several hundred container ships were effectively stuck until that was resolved. In this case nothing is stuck, sh

Yes they are all over the place around DC. Go to Carderock in September, you'll find them if you're looking for them. You'll also probably find a bunch of other people foraging for them. To find them in the city, put DC into

Here's the terms changelog: https://sentry.io/legal/changelog/ I absolutely hate the new terms, but I have to commend them on having this clear legal changelog. I wish everyone did this.

Basically, before 1994 the official Australia coordinate system was not optimized for GPS, which was not common when the system was developed, and so didn't exactly align with global coordinates. The 656 foot change was mostly about th

Like it or not (and I don't like it), that is the culture of this website. Positive comments are actively discouraged, and even if you want to make one they are difficult to write. To criticize you only need to find one thing wrong, bu

Thanks this is helpful, I'm aware of the Sudafed/meth issue but I didn't realize the alternatives were all clearly labeled PE. That explains why it's so obvious to a lot of people.

I do know to always buy the generic version of a medicine when it's available, but I also generally rely on the FDA to not let companies lie about what a drug does. Apparently that has failed in this case. I guess I only buy decongesta

Not just 4500 people, 4500 students who mostly have never lived alone or cooked for themselves before. 3 out of 10 of the most recent reviews of Munger's other building are complaining about how often the fire alarms go off: https:&#x

I just want to point out that regardless of how you feel about the design, "cheaper" seems to be objectively false. Munger's University of Michigan dorm cost $155 million to house 630 students, which appears to be very expens
