Bring back þ!

Here's a curious thing I found when visiting government officials in Fiji a while back.

They all wrote the fancy 'g' rather than the simplified 'g' we use now. I assume they copied text from textbooks rather than (say) from teachers from England.

As a real young'un I used to attempt to do the same as an exercise but it's not easy to make it look good.

Australia's longest serving prime minister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Menzies also had the nickname 'ming'.

Some wag made a 'ming vase' of his face: https://www.portrait.gov.au/portraits/2004.176/ming-vase-sir...

What the hell is that stuff after 17m? https://youtu.be/CAkwo6JPV00?t=1022

Very different thing.

CT is more of a way to abstract all mathematics.

Awful. But CIA, not army. And complicated by claims of immunity and police incompetence.

Perhaps you can help me; I can't find the original story of the following.

A similar scam was being demonstrated to transmit data wirelessly at a very high speed due to some fancy compression. The demo was between stations with a river in-between.

The investigators lifted the box and found an optical cable which was buried and went under the river.

Bottom story of the day?

> It is commonly known that the Cybertruck cannot be registered and operated in Germany.

Nothing much to do with the US Army.

> Yeah, but who ever writes "x=0.9" as a constraint on a partial index?

Not me! But you have me curious now; does sqlite do a text comparison for the constraint? Surely (maybe not) 0.9 == .9?

Can you do a constraint as (int)(100 * x) <= 90?

PS. Thanks for sqlite!

The non-equivalence of .9 and 0.9 was certainly a surprise to me.

I suspect using more than two year old (or even older) kernel versions in production is pretty common.

Anyone have stats on this?

I laughed. But .. Linus calls ideas and acts stupid, not people.

Yep and p9 is used many places e.g. in WSL for access to Windows files.

> Weather can be chaotic ...

That's probably the difference. Seasons can be prepared for. Natural disasters no so much.

When I tried, I got the expected midjourney site first up. I'm logged in to Chrome in case that matters.

For comparison DDG gave me the site as third link, which only just made the bottom of the screen.

DDG often gives me useless Ebay links which remind me of the early days of search.

Perhaps these single data points are useless?

Perhaps it's an over-anthrophormic term.

Looks very nice. I really like the commands like 'branch create'. I've often played with the idea of making a similar 'noun verb' frontend to git.

However the repo would be a better link for the post.

Some people really don't like the beery noisy occasions that outings can become. And they might not ever tell you.

Certainly in a company setting, for the teams cohesiveness, you should plan a variety of outings.

I would say the goal is survival. Which happens at the cell/dna.. level (mostly) not the organism. (nod to Dawkins)

To what degree is the threshold precise? Maybe fundamentally there's not that much difference.

or the idea that the universe is a computer

Going way back, I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racter (1984) used Markov chains. The book "The Policeman's Beard is Half-Constructed" is hilarious, but as noted it was co-written by the author.

I'm sure that Gilfoyle's prank in Silicon Valley had its basis in a true story, like most of SV's episodes. i.e. I'm sure this has been done quite a few times ever since Mark V. Shaney.

Because it's a multiplier not an adder.

Pro tip, often the early comments on HN are negative. Give it some time.

No mention of narwhals, despite somewhat similar feature "first clear example of a toothed structure outside the jaw,"

The news page mentions a few games released last year (2024).

Catholic schools in Australia don't required you to be Catholic. Although, I'm sure most kids are. And enrolling there will expose you to Catholic teaching.

I wonder if USA schools are similar. It's next to impossible to require belief.
