> you can do "g" motion, but I cant seem to get my muscle memory to remember that. to me "down" should always use whats visible on the screen, not just dumbly move to the next line…

Wouldn't the results of that online visual contrast test depend on your monitor's color calibration, etc? Or is it designed in some way that avoids that affecting the results? I'd …

Yeah, agreed that it seems unlikely to be a problem for most typefaces. I just think it's a bit misleading to suggest it's guaranteed to unburden the typeface of any and all 'intel…

This sounds like a typeface is not copyrightable but only because the mechanism for protection is different (patent system). So by doing what the GP suggests you wouldn't be violat…

It does say this on the IRS site: > Expect delays in data updates for the Tax Exempt Organization Search tool. We are still processing paper-filed 990 series received 2021 and late…

How does the man page's "size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);" disagree with the GP's "fread(buf, size_of_item, number_of_items, file_ptr)"? Both seem …

Thanks for the explanation! That makes sense.

The previous paragraph says > ...due to yet more historical situations (e.g. struct sockaddr, which has a fixed-size trailing array that is not supposed to actually be treated as f…

Don't you need to have an "GitHub-approved" fork (i.e. use the GitHub fork button) if you want to create pull requests on the upstream project in GitHub? Or is there a way to do th…

Heh, repeatedly toggling some of the switches too rapidly on there causes some interesting growth. My "EXAM" switch ended up dangling down past much of the documentation.

As far as learning what it looks like, there are photos on the site too (under "The Artifact"). The incorporation of Facebook is a bit silly but it's a student project, I guess the…

This was actually discovered in 2007, not recently. From the archeologist who discovered it: > This site seems to gain a life in the media about every six months or so. Sadly, much…

The article says "5 years after completing their mission", not 5 years after launch.

Is it a second factor? The article makes it sound as though the MyGovID authorization is all that's needed to log in, and the official site ( https://www.mygovid.gov.au/ ) says it'…

The reason I read it as being a major issue is that it is apparently (maybe I'm misreading this) described as the reason the previous effort failed: > Earlier attempts to turn the …

What sort of maintenance does it require? The article describes it as the biggest implementation hurdle, apparently to the extent that it doomed a previous effort along the same li…

Various farming strategies have been severely restricted in recent versions of the game; puddings don't even drop real corpses now. There are definitely still plenty of ways to loi…

As far as all the sources I can find say, 'hone in' originated as an error for 'home in', but has become widespread enough to be considered an acceptable variant. If one of them is…

Merriam-Webster says 'hone in' is an "acceptable but far less common" variant of 'home in'. I think either one works.

The patent does say it can be installed at various angles, illustrated in figs. 25 and 26 (also of interest is fig. 27, which shows it buried in the bed of a shallow lake with a du…

Did whoever mirrored the site run s/kill/kiss? Really obscures Gene's true message I think.
