Sort of. Indonesian had Jawi, based on the Arabic script. People in today's Vietnam mostly wrote in Chinese AFAIK. Those methods of writing were dominant among the people who could write. But the populations were mostly illiterate, so

On macOS you now have to account for SwiftUI, which sometimes uses AppKit views and sometimes uses its own renderer. Kind of similar to UWP.

As the article states, they’re planning to build a bridge. You can have an efficient option and a scenic/nostalgic option on the same route. This is just a bit of sentimentality about a cool train journey that might be replaced, not “a

Why invest in the region that’s already developed when you can invest in one that still has room to grow? That’s the meaning of investment. It seems likely that Sicily is poorer, in part, because of the lack of a bridge to the continent.

There’s nothing about AI in the title, so if they’re trying to get clicks based on that, they’re probably failing.

It wouldn't be quite the feat at all. Barcodes for pre-priced items sold by weight (cheese, meat, etc.) encode the price in the last four digits. Replacing those would be trivial.

The Mojave Desert has some of the most beautiful life (plants and animals both) that I've ever seen. I think the lack of a green canopy just misleads people - it looks like a sea of yellow-brown in a satellite image, and even in person

Right, but I'm saying their sites make it very clear that they're meant for gaming, so GGP may indeed have a hard time convincing corporate IT that they're for work.

You could also subscribe to YouTube Premium. It pays creators better than ads do (versus an ad blocker, which pays them nothing), and it includes YouTube Music, so you can ditch Spotify.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, genuinely. I only know about “gangstalking” as a delusion held by many people with schizophrenia. Is that what you’re referring to? > there are serious concerns that you are not really a person.

People aren’t brigading you with downvotes (I highly doubt that whoever owns Slashdot now is hiring people to astroturf discussions about it on HN). Your comment is getting downvoted because it doesn’t really make sense.

If they had the same BAC, yes. It may not make intuitive sense, but that’s just how alcohol tolerance works. The slow reaction times don’t go away. Alcohol in the bloodstream has a direct effect on your brain’s neural pathways that you can’

This is bad advice on a national level. In many states, the best-case scenario if you refuse the FST is that you get a free ride to the police station and have to undergo a blood test.

Alcohol tolerance doesn't meaningfully affect reaction time. We use the same word ("tolerance") for alcohol and marijuana, but the mechanisms are quite different.

Increased tolerance to THC actually makes it get you less high (for lack of a better term). You need a higher dose to be the same level of impaired. Real stoners can be totally functional and barely even high while hitting a vape every few

You also aren’t including amortized training costs, which are immense (and likely ongoing as they continue to tweak the model).
