Not OP, but this is basically the same dream layout I've sketched for myself!

Unfortunately it would give me the most day-to-day benefit on OSX, which is probably the place I'm least likely to see it implemented...

We would probably change our model of physics to accommodate the emergence of those properties?

I suppose there's a scale at which the "gap" becomes too large to call it "physics," but the larger the scale, the stranger it would be to find something irreducible across so many levels.

One of my favorite cases of reanalysis gone amok is:

[(xocalia + a'tl) => chocola-tl => chocolate => choco-] + [(al-kuhl => alcohol) + (-ique => -ic) => -holic] => chocoholic

which, having contributions from Nahuatl, Arabic, and Latin results in a word with morphemes originating in 3 distinct language families.

On the topic of article rebracketing, I also love "an eke-name" (an extra name) becoming "a nickname".

You see the same problem with Google Guide questions these days -- in the last year or so the number of "I don't know" answers I see has risen tremendously. (Some respondents are even hostile, recently someone asked whether a nearby pub allowed pets and the answerer went on a tirade about animals in public spaces...)

Yeah, one could draw a tight spiral in any of the open spaces of unbounded length. But "discretization" is probably a good angle to interpret it, since such a counterexample would be discretized to a point.

Yeah that's a pretty nested sentence:

> (The future) (is going to be) (based in (things like (what (Comma.ai) (is building upon) (what (the book) (describes)))))

I interpreted it to mean:

> The future will have many products similar to those made by the company Comma.ai. Comma.ai creates technology on top of the hardware described by this book.

If you want a more featureful tool, but still data-oriented and built with a programming-slant, I highly recommend Squib[1]. It has tons of rendering and processing options, and fairly thorough documentation (unlike pretty much everything else out there).

It's still on master because `git branch` just creates and doesn't do checkout.

(Which is why I've almost exclusively switched to `git checkout -b <newbranch>` for creating. How often do I want to create but not switch to the branch?)

Yeah it was a rather amazing (and perverse) shift. The other day a spammer called me from a number less than 10 off of mine. They must have a bank of numbers they select from based on hamming distance, as I've seen near-permutations of my number as well.

Didn't target="_blank" originate in that era you were talking about? I know the target attribute was part of HTML4 (1999). I'm not sure when _blank became a special value, but I imagine it was before the spec acknowledged it.

I agree window.opener was a fairly dangerous addition, but it is subject to CORS restrictions. You can't access it from just anywhere.

I've dreamed about doing an automated "ASCII"-art converter that utilizes all of Unicode. You could accomplish some pretty crazy line art if you put your mind to it, but the analysis would be super challenging.

Also you'd either need a monospace Unicode font (which I don't imagine has anywhere near 100% glyph support) or incorporate spacing and kerning rules...

I'm not intimately familiar with this app, but I've used Google's version quite a few times. I don't think either really identifies the font much more than separating into a few different categories (e.g. serif vs sans). Not to mention, it struggles with more decorative typefaces.

That said, this tech has been around for years and I still think it's magic every time.

Because "server" started taking on the meaning of "configurable box" to people who were frustrated with configuration, so "serverless" means "unprovisioned/unconfigurable" machines.

Now if we started talking about "computeless" architecture I'll be confused. (Though maybe that'll be the trendy name for serverless data sources/sinks in a few years...)

I perceive it being middleware as the benefit. For when your client isn't set up to manipulate the incoming data and you can't edit the backend resource that generates it. Or vice versa.

Keeping 100% accurate constant area would require a pretty insane closed form equation. Even ignoring the amount of area added by the stretched portions.

They're molecules of carbon monoxide, according to the making-of clip.

Or if you still want a rainbow to satisfy personal design desires, cubehelix and HCL both provide great perceptively-balanced scales.

That said, I usually prefer subsets, like viridis.

Protecting youth from failures of justice is a more palatable political stance than protecting adults (which is no longer "hard on crime")?

Not specifically trying to weigh in on the overall conversation, but aren't git commands generally UTF-8?

> git commit and git commit-tree issues a warning if the commit log message given to it does not look like a valid UTF-8 string, unless you explicitly say your project uses a legacy encoding.

> git log, git show, git blame and friends look at the encoding header of a commit object, and try to re-code the log message into UTF-8 unless otherwise specified.

Not OP, but syntax highlighting and other niceties are probably going to disappear within most presentation software.

Hey, at least the browser rock is smooth nowadays. 10 years ago you would've sliced your hand open just picking it up.

> There's urine in the train stations (either visible or smellable), elevators shut down by faeces, people shouting, yelling and preaching in the streets

I'm not reacting to any offense, as I agree the US has these problems. However this also describes very well my time spent in metropolitan Spain, France, and Italy.

I've optimally compressed your image for you:

(For very naive definitions of "optimal")

Maybe if the dice think they are settling on a too-common result, the internal servo gives them an impulse?

Funny, that is exactly what makes the game delightful for me: the dual-use of evaluating whether I want to use a card for its bid or try to hang onto it (or both). But yes, Kingdomino admittedly has a much simpler flow to it there, and hence is better for a broader audience that the committee is targetting. Also strictly speaking I don't know if Honshu had a German release this year anyway?

I totally agree that non-communication is a disappointing game mechanic; it almost always ends up being quite... impure design-wise? It still ended up feeling like the most dynamic of the 3 games for me, though admittedly my opinion of El Dorado is only from one play and word of mouth.

Kingdomino is perfectly fine, but I felt the SdJ nominees this year were all pretty safe choices. If anything, I would've preferred Magic Maze, which seems to be the most unique of the SdJ nominees. Plus, Honshu, which also came out this year, is a much better bid-and-build-domino-cities game than Kingdomino, but I understand it's a little more complex than the average SdJ winner.

Meanwhile, Exit winning the Kennerspiel frustrates me. It's a solid design, and the escape-room-in-a-box can be quite fun, but it's hardly a gamer's game and the other nominees were incredible.

I guess my takeaway is that the SdJ is built up too much and doesn't reflect my segment of the hobby very well.

Though that's assuming the people making online orders even bother looking at the amount paid. I don't necessarily see why they would (or why they wouldn't assume you had merely cashed in some sort of promo or balance).

Javascript's maximum date is Sat, 13 Sep 275760 (=8640000000000), so you've actually gone some ~43,000 years past the end of all time.

Do you know that this is the case? I agree that some brand's attempts at minimalism center around removing features, but MDN's example page doesn't appear to have major dimensional changes or any obvious content absences.

Plus, improving typography and cohesiveness of design language can aid speed of navigation, when done carefully.

That said, I did think MDN's current design was both usable and modern, so it wasn't high up on the list of sites I was hoping for a refactor of...

Sadly, being "pro-city" is extremely political. Even if we could set aside people's personal preferences, I'm not sure how we start to overcome the ideological gap between urban and rural residents...
