Japanese do have shinjitai characters which are also simplified, but differently, although there are definitely fewer such characters than in Simplified Chinese. My favorite is the simplification of 龍 (dragon) - in Simplified Chinese, they

Man, I thought I was having a stroke reading this. It would frankly be a lot more readable if they'd just used pinyin directly. As an example, they use 下在 in place of 下载. These are pronounced differently (zài in the former, zǎi in the

I think Fabien is looking for an explanation as to why shifting by 0x400 bypasses the signature check. For example, is that shift somehow corrupting the signature check logic, or bypassing it by convincing the checker that no check needs

But uh, he’s the de facto leader of his political party and the leading candidate for the next president? Being indicted multiple times has really done very little to diminish his appeal with voters…

Boeing screwed up here and let a door fall out of a flying plane. They don’t need anyone amplifying their bad news; it’s going to come to them. Boeing and its subcontractors apparently didn’t even keep appropriate records of the maintenance

The EU has some pretty strict rules around transparency in lobbying ( https://www.europarl.europa.eu/at-your-service/en/transparen... ). It sounds like meetings between MEPs and interest groups (lobbyists) need to b

They shouldn’t be allowed to pick and choose what to show up for. If they don’t want to attend hearings, then they shouldn’t get to lobby (meet with) MEPs.

> Technically, we need 9.58 bits, but there is no good way to use that final fraction of a bit. Huffman or arithmetic coding can pretty easily provide that “fraction” of a bit, at the cost of making decoding more expensive (and not rando

The weird thing here is that the only change is making the denominator ln(exp(x)) instead of x. Catastrophic cancellation is still happening in the numerator (it’s still exp(x)-1), and the denominator winds up being some really tiny number.

If you want to go even smaller , get strip from binutils >= 2.41 and use `--strip-section-headers`. Using this option gets the basic exit down from 352 bytes to 140 bytes , and a hexdump shows that it is literally just the ELF header,

I am inclined to believe that the first reporter only thinks they saw this, not that it actually occurred (or they saw some random words appear on the keyboard that resembled this phrase).

Because that would not be reasonable, and nobody would be surprised if Air Canada reneged on that. See, for instance, Leonard vs. PepsiCo. If your friend promised you something reasonable in the course of carrying out their duties, and you

Great! A few notes: - It'd be nice to have additional transformations: NFKC, NFKD, and maybe some others like CLDR transliteration, confusable mapping, ... - Characters outside the BMP get broken down as surrogate pairs, which is not w

Canada is bicameral but with a dysfunctional senate, meaning that it's effectively a unicameral system - and it's a highly diverse country.
