It's Bureau Serif from Smuss Type Kiosk: https://typekiosk.smuss.studio/bureau-serif He forgot to scrub the vendor ID field.

"And likely just creating more debt down the road" In the most inflationary era of capabilities we've seen yet, it could be the right move. What's debt when in a matter of months y…

> he said his films had been misunderstood: “My opinion is that we were doing comedies. You can laugh a lot.” I read a few Krasznahorkai novels in past few months since his Nobel P…

I agree. It's almost all prep. In fact that's exactly what I recall him saying in an interview once, that he still gets stressed by the amount of reading he has to do before each a…

Base 6 has six digits, 0 through 5. Perfect fit for the human hand, you get place value notation and counting to 35 decimal (55 seximal) for free. Base 6 would've been the real dea…

The puzzling thing is why they chose to adopt a term used to describe "only a scaling of power" to talk about log10 values. If 1 Bel simply meant 10x, I'd get it, but Bel has bagga…

The denominator isn't the issue. The context-dependent base of the logarithm is, which makes 1 Bel = 10x for some things and 1 Bel = 3.16x for others. I've never heard of decibels …

Oh, so that's why some services have separate codes for login and transacting. Didn't know it was an EU regulation. Still better than in-house crap.

Here's how 66% compares to the trivial predictor: "pick the team with the higher win rate and flip a coin if they're equal" gives you 64% for the 2024 season I just tried it on. I'…

Bitcoin and every other chain will migrate over to a quantum safe fork if it becomes a practical threat. The real value of bitcoin isn't the algorithm, it's the address balances, v…

I thought the point of bet exchanges was that you're betting against other users, so the exchange doesn't have to care how good you are or how much you're betting. Why would they a…

I don't think starting with XYZ and color matching functions is a good idea. LMS and cone response functions are a more fundamental and intuitive description of human color respons…

You only need to mix two different wavelengths to render any human perceptible color. They give you four parameters to work with (wavelength1, brightness1, wavelength2, brightness2…

I'd generate new cards such that the number of pairs on screen is anywhere between 2-5. Which means sometimes you'd create two unpaired entries (which means the turn reduces the nu…

Title is misleading, the intermittent fasting this paper is talking about is a brutal 350-550 calories per day restriction. That's just fasting.

He managed to get my attention starting with the cathedrals' polygons and exact bell tower positions, only to pull a "50 kilometers off, nevermind".

I get the dillemma, but I don't think it's a problem that the string of squares used to define "foward" isn't always the same as path the pawn will actually take if it chugs along.…

Your constraint should be that if the board is the special case of regular chess, the game should play exactly the same. Allowing the pawn to move towards any side is too much beca…

That took a corny ending compared to the "Now, as an old man I realize the only thing I can change is my underwear. On a good day" punchline that I expected.

Very cool! Looking forward to playing it. I suggest to minimize visual clutter, because any new player's brain will be overloaded trying to figure out a board, and less is sometime…

I wish they opened it up more and give us the tools to manage snapshots. Time Machine gives you no guarantees, it'll prune them when it sees fit, so I don't trust it. I wish I coul…

Your expense is that you've hitched yourself to an oversized loan, so you're putting money from one pocket to another, except the latter has a hole in it and you have an obligation…

And even if you go to a specific place in an infinite city, the entire trip will require at most one turn, an infinitesimally rare event. No wonder we never catch them in the act.

If you want someone to not e-mail you, tell them (if that) and block them. It's that easy, unless you're baiting

No example from the ultimate, infinitely differentiable tanh(tan(x))-like family? How disappointing.
