How can you know there's not a Universal Quantum Turing Machine that has encoded precisely the functions we've discovered based on the test-observations we've conducted? And if there is, would the question "why" any

I'm sure there's a million things out in reactland for this, but even in vanilla JS it's pretty simple. I'd write it something like this: https://github.com/JacksonKearl/JSEnumComboBox/blob&#x2F

It's fine on desktop (up until 500%, but that's excessive), on mobile the "magnify" is just a "zoom" (past 125%). The difference being in "magnify" the text will be larger but the "page" sta

Back before I had eye surgery HN was a massive pain - it totally breaks under an increased magnification level.

That has more to do with Ana de Armas looking how she does than anything else. I'd have dated her as a Harlan Thrombey's nurse too.

I think the point is it's hypocritical to say "this photo of a woman has been in use for 40 years, it's an example or how women are left out of the industry". It makes some unsubstantiated assumptions, chiefly: "men

Have we forgotten about the internet? It wouldn't be difficult to make Signal as a PWA, and with iOS 16.4 coming all the relevant API's should be present. As for TOR, I'd wager governments love it. Everyone the world over has

Well trash just looks like trash when its trash, so it's hard to say for sure. Definitely enough mylar to really get some fantastic data.

I spend most of my days picking up trash from the ocean (<1 mile away from me). Suffice to say, our perceptions of the difficulty and nobility of throwing trash into it are vastly different.

Whats the bar for the amount/type of data an individual needs to collect for the random trash they discard in the sea to be "science"?

I get that NOAA and NWS and whomever else release balloons that they never see again, but those at lease provide helpful data that benefits the public in some way. These seem to just... blast some portion of the EM spectrum with their locat

Strongest plausible interpretation doctrine would have you read this as "any git-accessible self contained minimal samples available"?

You can do this pretty easily with the Shortcuts app built in to iOS. I have a flow to text my friend whenever I'm near their house.

Worst of all is the Tesla backup sound. It's as if they hired some 20th century avant-garde musician to come up with the most jarring sound imaginable. That awful dystopian groan emanates through my house every day as my neighbors back

If mapFunc reads state it also writes, you should be thinking about async. If it doesn't, the problem isn't all that interesting. Though I did admit in the parent comment that Go's approach is reasonable. It should be noted t
