The seasonal extremes of daylight are so extreme up here in Finland that the cycle of night & day seems a bit less like a 24-hour cycle and a bit more like a 365-day cycle. An artifact of this is that my 5yo might not see a dark sky for

A separate issue, innit ? There is a broader consensus on the capacity of mammals for suffering. Plus the issue of the innate value of life at some level (let's say, vertebrates).

What was Apple's legal effort based on? That somehow all the market numbers are wrong? That although it might seem like Apple is "in a strong position", the reality distortion field states otherwise?

Agreed on octopuses. Sure they taste OK, but it's maybe more of a novelty food than anything else, and when you have read of their alien and physically-distributed intelligence, guilt accompanies any desire to munch one.

I've had the same idea for Finnish, where all-uppercase text has some really ghastly kerning issues, like YT and VY and KY and (gack!) LJ. I hope to see a font RSN.

Yes these are great. The voice in many (all?) is Caitie, whose Youtube channel[1] is really well done. My 5yo really liked Community Helpers. [1] https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL86-PnO8H7d9uS59c0f6-...

Unix has a hegemony that Go doesn't. Go can be a playground for the New Jersey Way. But sure, I'll sign on to "quizzical". Mainly I'm glad that in Go there's only two levels of visibility, not 3+. Much easier t

I watched a couple videos, and neither explicitly stated whether the tunnels are filled with air or water when dropped. Maybe some marketing jerk put a blanket prohibition on any intimation of water in the segments. Bad vibes and all that.

So the segments are allowed to fill with water, and then at the end it is all pumped out ? Or is each segment wrapped in plastic when it is dropped into place, and then they are somehow linked together without the plastic causing problems ?

Strong disagree. Using capitalization for access control is ridiculously obvious and simple and clear. Sure, things like "Printf" look odd for a little while.
