Had this once in Osaka, definitely had food poisoning the next few days.

I mostly blame myself for thinking it would be a good idea. It did taste pretty good though.

Speaking as an iOS developer, we use PDF files to represent our vector icon assets in the app.

I thought it was a bit odd of a choice on the platform vs SVG which seems more popular (and which the Android devs on our team use), but CoreGraphics using it internally ties the whole picture together.

There's already an Elo project for sanctioned events at the Grand Prix level and above: http://www.mtgeloproject.net/

It uses the public pairings and results that were published each round for events all the way back to the 90s. Unfortunately, there are less competitive MTG events these days, so most peoples' ratings stop in early 2020, but that's another topic altogether.

Yep, not surprised to see this added when Twitch account integration already existed. Much less typo-prone than copying your stream key in, along with all the convenience features you get.

I think there might be a misunderstanding here.

Author isn’t saying “password = hunter2, guess = hunter3, hint = you got the number wrong”

It’s more like “guess = hunter3, hint = passwords must be at least 10 characters”

You’re not revealing anything about the actual password that you wouldn’t know by reading the password rules on the registration page.

Somewhat related; I feel like C reserves a lot of names that though different standards, is there a good list of all of those so I know to avoid them? (e.g. underscore prefixes)

A lot of subscription models would lock you out after expiry, plus obviously the terms are usually much shorter.

Right, it’s cliché but it’s clear that MVP isn’t the “best player” award given how infrequently LeBron has won it. It’s more some nebulous combination of “how good you are”, “how much you contribute to your team’s success”, and “are you doing so without the support of another star”.

This is a great article and a great read, even as someone who knows very little about machine learning models but is a fan of the NBA.

One question I have is whether it’s possible to model voter fatigue. There was a point brought up that LeBron had a solid candidacy in the Rose MVP season but voters didn’t want to give it to him again, and I feel like this equally applies to Giannis this year. Though Giannis’ season isn’t as good as Jokic’s for sure, if they were closer I feel like Giannis would have to do WAY better than the competition to have a shot at the award, given general sentiment about him and his playoff results.

The luxury fashion industry seeing a bounce-back seems like just a small part of the larger clothing industry bouncing back; it feels as though all clothing and apparel shopping should rise again as more people go outside. I know I personally haven't bought much/anything in the past year since I was sitting at home all the time, and normally I do shop for clothes a good amount.

@dang I think that while this is the exact title from Kotaku, it misses the context (given by what site it's on) that they're shutting down specifically their _gaming_ studios.

I feel like it would be clearer if this said "Google Stadia shuts down internal game studios, changing business focus".

Quote from the article: Google will close its two game studios, located in Montreal and Los Angeles. Neither had released any games yet.

Original blog post from Google: https://blog.google/technology/health/vaccines-how-were-help...

One excerpt from the blog post but not the article is that Google is opening vaccination sites with a partner company:

"To help with vaccination efforts, starting in the United States, we’ll make select Google facilities—such as buildings, parking lots and open spaces—available as needed. These sites will be open to anyone eligible for the vaccine based on state and local guidelines. We’ll start by partnering with health care provider One Medical and public health authorities to open sites in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area in California; Kirkland, Washington; and New York City, with plans to expand nationally. We’re working with local officials to determine when sites can open based on local vaccine availability."

I wonder how accurate the data will be compared to a "patient-side researched" site like https://www.vaccinateca.com/
