That’s only the case for American English. British English places periods and commas outside the quotes, unless part of a literal quotation.

Sometimes known as “laser pointer syndrome.” It can drive dogs particularly crazy, and may also affect cats in the long term.

“The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling” by Ted Chiang.

What do you mean by that?

Then you just switch to another provider. The important part is owning your domain name and not relying on someone else’s.

Correction: I wasn’t aware of OpenAI’s “evals” tool. If that’s the kind of thing the author was referring to, I may have misjudged.

Part of me hates how certain ways of writing have been designated as hints that something was written by AI… I love using em dashes, for example. But yeah, ChatGPT models tend to overuse weird abbreviations of common words in a way that humans never do.

I’d say “in an eval” when talking on Slack with very close coworkers, but _never_ on a public post.

Still, I don’t want to make accusations based on writing style, because like I said, I have my own idiosyncrasies that common models coincidentally share.

That’s a great question. ISO 8601 doesn’t allow timezone offsets on date-only strings.

If you were born in the US, can you buy cigarettes at 12:00 am on your 18th birthday in London?

I’ve never heard of age verification laws caring what timezone you were born in. In fact, you couldn’t even pinpoint this from many people’s ID cards. Plenty of US states span multiple time zones, and I wouldn’t be that surprised if there were a maternity ward out there sitting on a TZ line.

Gothamist (New York Public Radio) engineer here. Sorry about that! Are you still receiving a 500 error?

Perhaps referring to this? I’m not entirely sure. https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/history/mail-censorship/

Many sites do allow logging in with just an SMS OTP, no password required (even if you’ve set a password for the account). If it absolutely must be used (it shouldn’t), then SMS OTP should be a second factor, not the only factor.

You’re not alone. That’s also how PostgreSQL itself thinks about schemas! https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-namespace...

To be fair, TOTP works offline.

Someone’s essay on that theory: https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Spec...

This is my experience exactly. I’ll add to the list of inconveniences:

- hyperlinks in iMessage/SMS aren’t clickable (but they can still be copied/pasted)

- installed apps that use JavaScript in their interfaces can have the same issues as websites (but you can turn Lockdown off for apps as well, if needed)

Overall worthwhile. Something about these “inconveniences” also gives me a sort of psychological disconnection from my phone that I personally find to be very healthy. Similar to how I felt limiting myself to F-Droid in my Android days.

From that same page:

> To be diagnosed with TS, a person must

> * have two or more motor tics (for example, blinking or shrugging the shoulders) and at least one vocal tic (for example, humming, clearing the throat, or yelling out a word or phrase), although they might not always happen at the same time.

A diagnosis of Tourette’s requires multiple motor tics and at least one verbal tic.

EDIT: “vocal,” I should say, not “verbal”

I’m on my phone and haven’t double checked this, but from my understanding, I believe it’s part of an effort to encourage compatibility with other tools like podman. The ambiguity is somewhat intentional, as an active decision to separate the implementation name from the configuration standard.

I want to approach your idea with an open mind, but I’m not sure how to look at this as more than a tool to spam the web with advertisements. Do you have examples of Newsy sites that are particularly valuable to their visitors?

The “UniChar” app, among others, can be used as an alternative keyboard “language” to access Unicode symbols with an interface similar to the emoji picker. Includes “favorites” and “recently used” sections.

Also getting a blank (white) screen here, Safari on iOS. Disabled iOS lockdown mode for the website domain out of curiosity and that seems to make the page render correctly.

They may work as advertised, but the problem is that the cables themselves have no indication of what was advertised in the first place.

The ability to know what the cable you’re holding can do is just not there. Unless you have some way of ensuring that all your cables are the same, you need to:

- discard/donate every cable that you can’t identify (as @brookst did) by its eMarker (though they’re required by spec) unless you own a specialized USB-C voltmeter or multimeter

- manually label every cable with all its unique specifications, either after running it through an eMarker reader or immediately after taking it out of the box

Aha! Here we go. Compare:

Without underscores in the URL, the first paragraph disappears. Bizarre.

I don't have time to look too closely into it, but my guess is that it's a bug somewhere in the parser: https://github.com/muffinista/gopherpedia.com/blob/main/pars...

The markup behind that article isn't terribly complicated, but the parser isn't perfect either. For example: https://gopherpedia.com/gopherpedia.com/Gustave_Dore has some glitches in the lead sentence.

My suspicion was that it's getting confused by the line above the intro, but I pasted the article's source code into Wikipedia:Sandbox and gopherpedia read the intro just fine. Strange!
