I’d prefer anyone else over an athlete or a celebrity, regardless of height. Humans are allowed to have different preferences.

How could it be defined behaviour, when the result is different on ARM and x86?

> A byte order mark is a special use of the zero width no-break space character U+FEFF at the beginning of a text file

Isnt BOM allowed to appear anywhere in the file, because of file concatenation?

The one from Black Mirror?

The dots do help a little, but not much. I wouldnt use my phone for long while in a vehicle, though at the very least I no longer dread having to briefly read a text message if I have to.

I found your note on bad drivers interesting. For me, it's the quick acceleration, braking and turning that's the worst. A bit anecdotal, but I also experience car sickness less with women drivers. Maybe because they're usually easier on the acceleration and brakes?

What everyone actually cares about — new emojis!

The double space after a period, with the added effort to avoid browser whitespace condensing, is an interesting style choice. Is it meant to mimic old academic publications?

While present in some of their previous articles sparingly, this is the first one to use it consistently.

Is this meant to be a poor explanation of sixth normal form?

Is that what they call visiting private islands these days?

> Nobody likes throwing away work they've done

I like throwing away work I've done. Frees up my mental capacity for other work to throw away.

And this is the Mercedes-Benz commuter car I want to see more of.

> What should this function be named? I didn't care. Where should this config live? I didn't care. My brain was full. Not from writing code - from judging code.

Does it matter anymore? Most good engineering principles are to ensure code is easy to read and maintain by humans. When we no longer are the target audience for that, many such decisions are no longer relevant.

> they need to fire their marketing staff

Sounds like they did just that. Ereyesterday.

Now hear me out.

No.

It's Excel's format guessing doing all the killing

Did FB chose to replace friends' posts with garbage, or was it that less and less people were posting, and FB had to replace the feed with _something_?

It's about as divisive as saviours in any other population.

Pancreatic cancer is known for being incurable, even in the best of circumstances, early diagnose or not. Having witnessed a family member go through the same thing, I understand Jobs's reaction of trying literally anything else.

The illusion of mozilla having any privacy principles collapsed for me on May 2019 when they required users to enable telemetry to allow using adblock and tracking blocking extensions.

I take replacing myself as the ultimate challenge. Does anyone know of a workflow/tool that can from a prompt find which relevant files in a directory to include, and then update existing files and create new ones?

All the the tools I've tried require me to select which files to include in the context, and/or then require manually copying each snippet to where it should be... this makes me feel like a neanderthal in some bronze age cave.

For those 1-2 days a year when a heatpump cant keep up with the cold, its fine to have a plug-in heater.

Is it truly a problem if families move away from areas of high-risk natural disasters?

You overestimate the importance of being correct

Assuming the best case scenario of feeling the slap in 90ms, it would leave 10ms to abort the command. Or did the 90-180ms range refer to something else?

The slapping device would need to build inertia for you to feel the slap. Is 10ms enough for that?

Dont forget the hidden legitimate interest section!

No relation to the <blink/> tag, I presume?

It still holds if you’re not bothered by negative-area rectangles
