I think the idea was to be able to communicate them on devices that did not have the symbols (which turned out to be pretty much all of them)

It's amazingly interesting to me that these exist and yet, do not seem to be commonly available in ascii fonts

personally, on my 16:9 55" at home, I don't care about the bars either, not for 4:3, for 21:9 it's still a bit annoying .

I know the tinfoilhats won't like this, but it should be a human right to have some kind of guaranteed access to an email account, something where, if you lose access, you can show up at an authority and identify yourself to have acces

eventually, i hope the entire wall can be a high resolution screen so that whatever aspect the artist chose, can be represented in sufficient size, we shouldn't have to care about "wasted screen real estate", creators should

I wonder if these giant companies constantly trying to squeeze extra microcents out of everything is why pretty much all online video now looks horrible, despite us having the sharpest displays, fastest processors and fastest Internet in th

We have a common account, each month we pay the same amount into it, we pay shared expenses (bills, food, etc) from this account. We have separate savings and spending accounts, with an agreement that we each save a certain amount each mont

Wait what ? I've seen two different "systems", one where you do a quick pull on the cord and it spins back up, and one where there's a "roll up" button on the machine which winds up the cord, but I've neve

I was going to remark on this as well, but my observation is different: It strikes me as a very (old-school) American thing indeed. But not a modern American thing, if it was a modern American thing, it'd be privately owned, for profit

I don't see how the demolition price has any relevance at all in determining the insanity of what's going on in this case, even if it was free, they're still without a building they purchased, and thus the situation is still

So, someone buys property in good faith, and is then after that purchase, fined and ordered to destroy the property, and fined every day they don't, and your main worry is how much it may or may not cost to demolish it? Interesting per

It's a perfect example, that rule is not there to make it easier to play the game, it's there to make it harder. This is common in lots of sports, think about pistol shooting, you're supposed to shoot one handed, arm straight

I disagree with Carmack on this, I'm on the other hill. The press-on-release affords me the chance to bail at the last minute. It's probably because my brain is defective, but then consider it a handicap aid! But something about t

it's still not a high risk, owning a house (that is, having paid for it, not owing any money to the bank) still leaves you in a better position than a renter, as you can basically let it burn and will still be in an easier position to

I own several houses, and even with taxes, maintenance and insurance, it's cheaper to own two than renting in the same area..

Sharing code runtime is not a hard problem, it's the wrong problem. Code _sharing_ shouldn't be done. Code _reuse_ sure, absolutely, and it's done right by including that exact, specific code at compile time. And yes, stuffin

Unpopular take but here I go (bye bye karma): Code sharing between applications, beyond what is basic, common and stable enough that it could live in the kernel, is not a good idea in the long run. It served a purpose back when memory was s

It's quite impressive how many more lines of javascript and shading is required to show this in a browser, than it requires to bring a window on the screen and show a texture on it using plain C.

Interesting. I'm sure it's correct, but it makes me wonder about the output quality of these devices. If the output of an UPS is so significantly different from regular utility power that it's unsuitable as input for an UPS,
