Hi Scott! Yes, racists are wrong and calling them out works.

Strong with the weak, weak with the strong.

This one is a keeper.

Because the whole thing is about embedding images as text, so the interesting bit is not showing the image, but the resulting encoding in the racket source.

> The park could contain loose soil on the edge of a cliff, so any vehicle driving there could cause a landslide that topples the vehicle over the cliff and could kill anyone on the beach below. No vehicles in the park.

That would be a terrible phrasing then. It should have been phrased something like "Landslide hazard, no weight more than 1ton allowed anywhere in the park." or something in that vein.

This is core to the Gricean Maxim of Quantity [1], according to which one gives as much information as needed but no more. If the sign says "No vehicles in the park" and nothing else then any reasonable person should assume that the reason for the sign is so obvious that no further clarification is needed.

Unrelated, it is also the reason why a hot-dog is not a sandwich, pragmatically speaking.

sure, [0...N) ranges are composable, to be short

That is such a weird argument to me. I can count in the fingers of one hand the number of times in my life that I've had to compose ranges, it seems a strange thing to optimize for.

Splitting and combining back ranges is very common activity since about Core 2 Duo, when multi-core getting to be a normal.

I mean, computing mean - split range, get result per split and combine it back, and so on and so forth

You seem to have a weird fetish for composable ranges seeing your history of comments on exactly this topic (even this thread!). The number of times I have had to think about composability as you mention is close to zero. In fact, the off-by-one errors with C class of languages due to the open ended nature of the interval have bit me about 3-4 orders of magnitude more. There is an entire class of security bugs because of this. I find this obsession very strange, YMMV obviously.

Looks like that lawyer guy is not new on hacking stuff: https://matthewbutterick.com/

Not exactly the curriculum of a twitter weirdo.

Hah, funny. I've used Pollen before and think I've had contact with him a few years ago! The blah blah about AI elevating the world is still bs imho. I still disagree with his views (https://matthewbutterick.com/chron/this-copilot-is-stupid-an...) and this law suit.

I wasn't actually talking about him specifically btw when saying "this sounds like a crypto bro from twitter". The overly enthusiastic AI talk reminded me of that, that's what I wanted to say.

AFAIK twitch deletes your saved streams after some time.

This happens to me with pins. Basically I don't remember the numbers, just the shape they form when entered in the keypad.

I recently opened a new account with a bank and their app has a randomized keypad and now I'm screwed.

In some countries, the numbers on the DAB have 1 2 3 at the bottom, like on keyboards, instead of at the top. Funny thing is, I can’t even remember the gesture in such situations.

Take a look at seedboxes.
