It "should" adjust, but in practice most software do not render spaces after periods properly. There is no in band signal to distinguish periods for sentence ends vs e.g. Mr. Thus there is a clear argument for double spacing in all contexts

A lot of people forget that "right to repair" means that YOU fix it. There is no silver bullet. You can either rely on a company to fix it for you and not screw you over, or you can do all of the work of sourcing parts and labor, and if you mess up the repair then you own the pieces.

Which makes it at best ineffectual, the same as almost all regulation in California

Is it discrimination if you decide to switch to custom power outlets in your house and then you complain that local hardware stores don't provide compatible parts?

The winning move is to achieve inner peace and to stop being bothered by the many imperfections of reality. I've been much happier after realizing that I am not the heroic savior of the universe.

The workers do have a choice to not take it, so it's clearly not that crappy when weighed against the pay and job security (and free doohickies they "confiscate").

> humans will never make it to Mars

Humans will never cure diseases, humans will never fly, humans will never go to space, etc.

> The guideline from scientists is that if you decide to use it you need to nearly overdose the patient on it, despite that that is not necessary to cure them. Doing that is much more expensive (not that much more expensive really, it just looks impressive in % and presumably in excel sheets), but fights resistance.

I'm skeptical of this often cited claim. The more you use it the greater the evolutionary pressure you place and the more you force evolved resistance. If you overuse an antibiotic, you kill off all of the bacteria that could compete with the resistant strains, thus strongly promoting resistance.

I posit that like with all other evolutionary pressures, reducing the pressure is the right approach.

If you use vi or emacs you can edit directly using the bash/readline editor.

(Or if you use emacs, then you already have a full editor in your shell)

Depends on where you are and what you're doing, but you can usually get what you need at the destination. People live there after all, and those people are able to get what they need.

Exceptions prove the rule. Most babies figure it out fine.

Mainstream Linux distros got rid of the bin split many years ago.

Tea contains significantly less caffeine, and its effect is mediated by other compounds in the tea. Basically, tea also contains a partial "antidote" to caffeine along with the caffeine

There is no backtracking in actual regular expressions. Your misunderstanding is the technicality that the parent was taking about.

There will always broken cables, unless you invent a wonderful form of matter which maintains its form indefinitely after manufacture.

> Even with the same amount of code, AI code is less trustworthy* and requires more attention... but we know it won't be the same amount, it will be more.

If you think that, you aren't reviewing human code closely enough IMO. Human code and AI code should be scrutinized equally closely. Or rather, if you're relying on where you think the code came from rather than actually, y'know, reviewing the code itself, then you aren't doing a good job.

How are you supposed to ensure you never store that info without storing info about what info to never store

By that definition anything that shows anything is an ad for that thing.

Better late and well designed, than early and poorly designed

And ironically skills also need a double layer of progressive discovery because having too many skills available can also bloat the context even if only the short description is included. So instead of including hundreds of skills in the initial context a search tool is provided...

At that point just put it on github

The English isn't that hard to remember though. Authentication == determine whether it is authentic (you are who you say you are). Authorization == are you authorized to do something (I know who you are but you are not authorized to do something). I hope the average reading level hasn't fallen to the point where that is confusing.

I've never considered the conversation and reasoning to be more than transient. If you want to carry forward a session, you must produce a context artifact.

IMO this is like wanting to dump the intermediate state of an LLVM compilation and expecting to reliably resume it across platforms.

Because the stereotypical California hippie loves pistachios (e.g. dubai chocolate) despite the virtue signaling about protecting the environment.

Which is a bit of a shame, given the terrible health effects of alcohol.

The irony is that Emacs-like bindings are far more widespread (readline support by default, and most GUIs support Alt+arrow, alt+backspace)

The training material is used to "develop intelligence" not as reference material.

As an analogy, students learn a bunch of things during school, become more intelligent, but do not retain explicit knowledge like all of the details on the periodic table, or all of the exact formulas for things.

> anything truly important will be distributed by mainstream media

First of all this is just blatantly not true (e.g. MSM ignoring politically inconvenient news). Second of all what is important varies for each person. e.g., local news or news about your specific interests

> I think small communities where people actually have to maintain a reputation are the future, and the past.

This is what social media is (was?)

It's basically WRPG vs JRPG. I think it's safe to say based on historical game performance/sales that most people prefer the "railroaded" story format of JRPG than WRPG role playing.

For most people, video games are about relaxing/unwinding, not embarking on a creative DnD roleplay with "real" consequences.

This is also why linear stories are so much more popular than "choose your own adventure" or "audience participation".
