Pluto was only discovered in the 1930s. The only cultural heritage of Pluto as a ‘planet’ is a few decades of science schoolbooks, but going by these comments you'd think it's been in the same list as Jupiter since the Babylonian

The data sovereignty initiatives have been massively promoted by US policy. All this advocacy will achieve is make the US look even less trustworthy.

The US military budget hasn't been reduced and the adventurism is going on as strong as ever, so that doesn't seem to be the reason.

Not just non-Apple devices. I have a machine with older MacOS and the current Apple keyboard doesn't report battery status. I can't think of a reason why that would work differently from Apple's own older keyboards, but it do

I think the passthrough is more useful when there's a VR OS to take advantage of it (map your real room/hands/kb/screen onto VR, let you pin stuff, etc.) and I'm not sure Valve is even planning to do that, or anyone

Or they'd have looked at whatever images the system had used for its decision and see it was a false positive without having to send anyone over.

Just about anything that has a repl has a better repl than Python.

The main reason I voted against was because it is tied to smartphones with only the vaguest promise that it won't stay so. Ironically one of the arguments in favor was independence from megacorporations (or foreign countries for that

I think a squat format like 4:5 would be much more practical than 9:16 or whatever most phones are. It's unfortunate that's the format that's come to dominate, especially when you consider the rise of vertical video.

The vector version of these is used in antenna theory to represent and transform the radiation of finite sources, like when measuring antenna patterns.

The biggest roadblocks are 1) lack of continued effort and 2) reticence on the Emacs side. I'd say 1) is the most important by far.

I've seen left handed people tilt the paper 90° and write more or less downwards. Their writing looked fine.

My bank's app has a built in messaging system, but they seem to hate using it themselves. When they want to contact me they always call, or they send me paper letters. If I contact them through the app, they don't reply there but

BLIS is a different library from BLAS, with a better API. For example when you pass an array, you can pass independent strides for all axes, and you can give independent transpose/conjugate flags. It does have a BLAS compatibility inte

if you compare the c64 palette to other ~16 color computers of the era, the c64 has a definite brownish/purplish tint to it, i don't think the video misrepresents it.

in the text modes of old computers, there isn't anything to separate one character from those next to it, so that space has to be in the character itself.

If 8 GB is ok for you, you don't need an M3 chip with tons of cores, either. You can just keep using your old laptop. Apple has kept the same base memory on these machines for a decade and now they are horribly unbalanced.

Homophones can be disambiguated in writing the same way they are disambiguated in speech, or they can just fall into disuse and be replaced.

You have the why right there. The first time it was to show up the Soviets, but it was monstruously expensive and they couldn't compete, so there was no reason to keep doing it. And now it's less expensive and the Chinese are stro

It's a good point that aliasing issues may show up as different warnings, like maybe-uninitialized in the example. Those warnings are often not obvious at all.

Get better as in knowing what to do, not so much about fast reactions or very precise timing of the controls, etc. Those help if you want to beat the games 'the hard way' but there are always easier ways. The gameplay is more abou

Pdfs often have huge margins, so a feature I'd like to have is soft crop - just for viewing, without modifying the file, like goodreader has. Although it's not as important on desktop as it is on a tablet.
