6yyyyyy

The protests and killings were extremely widely reported at the time.

You should run away from React Native Desktop screaming. It's built on top of WinUI 3, and inherits all it's problems, while also being dramatically slower. Almost all functionality requires writing C++ code, and communicating between C++ and JS is a huge pain in the ass. Use QT instead.

And if you think using it will let you port your app to other platforms, think again. There's no drop-in compatible equivalent of RNW for Linux, and the version for Mac is even worse than the Windows version.

I hope this is successful. Fake books are flooding online stores and if this was widely adopted I would certainly refuse to buy anything without it.

But unfortunately I think that's unlikely. Most authors will likely never hear about this. I assume there will be some kind of fee to participate, but this will discourage people from using it. And even if it takes off, the fake book authors will just slap it on anyway as I'm not sure what enforcement mechanism would be effective.

No AI period. As soon as you feed your writing into the slop machine it starts telling you how to make it more like slop (I know someone who's cowriting a book with ChatGPT - this is exactly the result.)

I'd rather read things with typos and bad grammar than read something copyedited by AI.

You can fix this by dubbing the vinyl onto a CD-R. It'll sound identical and you won't need to mess with the turntable more than once.

I thought the government was shut down? Why is this funded but not SNAP?

They should go back to the Windows 2000 theme, that was the best one.

It's more complex than that: The card actually has some nonvolatile storage with your current balance, which gets decremented each time you use it.

Couldn't find Waldo, but this reminds me of the skill check CAPTCHA I encountered on Sega of Japan's website:

Please no. I hate when the editor adds random shit I didn't type to the file.

You can use KeePassXC for passkeys. It will generate completely unidentifiable public keys, and save the the private keys to a portable KDBX file.

It's unfortunate that passkeys have been such a disaster. Attestation should never have been part of the spec, it should never have been presented as a replacement for hardware U2F keys, and a private key file format should have been defined on day 1. But there is useful functionality buried under all the noise and confusion.

Why do we need to transport our military overseas, anyway? We should close all our overseas bases and save the money.

The Gaza Pier failed because it was a PR stunt and not a serious attempt to get aid into Gaza.

The ideal answer is the UN sends in peacekeeping forces to kick out the IDF.

That won't happen due to the USA. So in practice the answer to "How will the Gazans eat?" is "They won't."

High PPI screens have been around for 10 years or so, and they still cost about twice as much as a standard PPI screen the same size.

Put yourself in the shoes of the average computer purchaser: Would you rather buy a high PPI monitor, or two standard PPI monitors? To me this is a no-brainer.

Much evidence contradicts your theory.

I flipped them all, enjoy:

You have your timeline confused. When Microsoft bought Mojang, the only version of Minecraft on PC was Java Edition. It wasn't under the next year that they released the Windows 10 Edition (which is what became Bedrock on PC).

The pattern you're talking about in [2] isn't by choice, it's a result of blue states paying more federal tax. The decisions about who pays federal tax and how much are made by Congress.

Why is that image worse than this one?

These capacitive buttons are actually super cheap, a lot of microcontrollers have this function built-in so the buttons are effectively free, just an extra pad on the PCB.

"Honest, neutral coverage" is a contradiction. You can be honest, or you can be neutral.

NewPipe can do this very nicely, it even lets you build a playlist of videos.

I find endorsements very valuable when voting in down-ballot elections. A good endorsement includes the reasoning behind the decision. I read the endorsements of multiple outlets and find myself agreeing more with one or the other.

What's the alternative, do comprehensive research on the record of 20 candidates? I don't have time for that. Read the blurbs they write about themselves in the voter's guide? Why should I trust that, they can write anything there.

A dedicated shader could do it far more efficiently. Ideally, you would create a mip chain, then as you move towards the blurrier parts of the image, spread your taps farther apart and choose them from lower-resolution mips. You could even have an animated "blur map" to control where the blur is, and it would run at 60 fps ez.

This runs at 165 fps in Shadertoy for me (warning all constants are wild guesses, use "pebbles" for iChannel1):

  void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
  {
      // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
      vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;

      float blurRadius = clamp(1.5 * (texture(iChannel1, uv/2.0 + vec2(iTime, iTime / 2.0)/6.0).x - 0.5) + 0.5, 0.0, 1.0);


      float mipmapLevel = fwidth(uv).x;
      float biasedMip = mipmapLevel + blurRadius * 4.0;
      vec3 final = (3.0/8.0) * textureLod(iChannel0, uv, biasedMip).xyz;
      for (float i = 0.0; i < 6.28; i += 6.28/5.0) {
          final += (1.0/8.0) * textureLod(iChannel0, uv + 0.02 * blurRadius * vec2(sin(i), cos(i)), biasedMip).xyz;
      }

      // Output to screen
      fragColor = vec4(final.xyz,1.0);
  }

Airlines have been charging extra for window seats for years.

Some of the people who currently fly economy would start flying business, but a huge number of people who are currently taking Greyhound buses, driving, or choosing not to travel at all, would start flying economy.

Israel did 200 airstrikes on schools already. What are you doing about it now that you wouldn't be doing if it were AI?
