"It's only real AI if it comes from the silicon region of USA"

Of course. I was trying to say that it would be nice to limit certain variables to an ASCII charset, or ASCII+umlaut+accents without any of the 10k other UTF8 shenanigans.

I agree. At this point scripting languages should have native support for string subtypes with custom charsets (ascii/utf16) or just regexp-defined or even ENUM()'erated values. II…

Love the tab title shenanigans when switching to and from the tab.

And it makes me feel better about my own government, while it takes news reporting bandwidth from other stories that are buried instead.

This website is so much faster than 99% of the modern macbook-focused websites with all those fades and css transitions.

The animations make it quite slow on my system. Maybe there's a way to figure out if users actually have webgl enabled and only then do the animations.

Amazing! Just disable the animations it makes my system really slow.

Nice project, but I think the PDF format could be improved. I'd prefer having landscape layout and original text and translated text side-by-side or keep the portrait layout and do…

I wonder if there are technical factors for this such as 24/7 exposure to LED flickering or engine vibrations. Also withdrawal from your social circle might be a factor, your body …

I can't even joke about Microsoft, I just feel pity for them. So long at the game and reduced from a dominating software house to slop fabric with no professional honor to deliver …

Ignorance is bliss.

I'm confident it's been censored and people have been killed to keep this story under wraps.

Check out the 1951 layer [1], it has a huge gap in the rockaway beach / hammels area which is not present in the 1924 layer or any other layers. Historicaerials.com does not offer …

This is amazing. Unfortunately the 1960s, 70s and 80s seem to have been censored in the historic aerial maps. It's a very important period in NYC construction history where buildin…

This will trip up most SOC workflows in funny ways, and I like it. IPs having a global distinction between public/private is a convention, but local routing can widely differ. Same…

Depends on jurisdiction, in many European countries a company with more than 300 employees can't do these kind of layoffs without giving a concrete reason, and if they do they need…

To me it's always mindblowing how the headcount of a startup can massively increase and the company still be considered a "success story".

I don't understand why this is problematic for some: They lay off 93 people so the total # employees before layoffs is 465 and it will be 372 employees remaining after layoffs. In …

Navarrete is both a region in Spain and in Domenican Republic [0]. According to Wikipedia, her unnamed father is Mexican and US Marine Corps [1]. IMDB has various actors with her l…

Unfortunately the US has willfully destroyed a significant amount of goodwill with citizens of their NATO allies. Due to aggressive rhetoric we are forced to look at the risks diff…

The audience still recognizes talent, but talent is far from everything one needs to be successful. For every new star that suddenly "pops up everywhere" I recommend a journey thro…

> So the filter runs, generation after generation, and what comes out the top is disproportionately people who lie well and feel nothing about it. Not because voters want liars, bu…

Looks nice, but I'd love to have a setting where all animations can be switched off.
