I don't know if that is an Arch distribution specific feature.

That's unlikely for two reasons, first because minecraft is closed source, and second because arch packages usually follow upstream very closely.

Or they were supremely overvalued as of oct '21, as were many other stocks and securities, and the decline represents a return to sanity.

Most implementations I've seen use an ioctl to query those particular bits. That's implemented quite reliably, since the same ioctl is used for character size as window size. Some implementations just set the character size to zero though.

You need to configure it properly or pass the -u flag for it to support unicode I believe.

An inch in aspect ratio is a relatively large change, considering it entails ~70% of an inch in both dimensions. It would be better to compare screen area or vertical and horizontal dimensions separately, to get a clear picture of the difference.

Apple sells hardware and software/services, Microsoft sells primarily software and software services (surface aside). Hardware is the business of buying materials, improving them, and selling them at a premium. Software is the business of developing software, then selling it to as many people as you can. Software naturally lends itself to high margins. Hardware less so.

Afghanistan is a relatively poor, undeveloped country, yet they just demonstrated their sovereignty in your sense against the most capable country on earth. Of course, if the US wanted to they could have steamrolled afghanistan - but they didn't. What changed is that the willingness to destroy people in war evaporated, and so the ability in theory to conquer a country, and the willingness to do so given the costs it would entail diverged significantly. This might be particular to the west, and countries like china or russia don't care as much. But they are living in the world created by US hegemony, which in large part entails playing by the US' rules.

It's phrased as if it's an answer to a question, which it would be if it was the result of a prompt to chatgpt. Of course, a person could deliberately emulate that style as well, making this an unreliable way to determine whether a comment was written by a bot.

They did seemingly position it as a generic name for this style of AI model, and other people have been using it in that fashion (eg "gpt-j"). It's usually recommended to contrast a brand name for your product with its generic name, so that the two don't become confused. Hence why scrabble is always subtitled "crossword game".

What's the legal status of such terms of service? Suppose you simply said "i didn't agree to these terms" - what's the consequence? It seems like the strongest thing they could legitimately do would be to kick you off of their platform. Simply writing "we can seek injunctive relief" doesn't make it so.

We could attempt to define the "fair" population of a country based on its land area and some other factors. Splitting up a country into parts then wouldn't grant it a larger fair population, since you would split up the area as well. The necessity of doing this is that otherwise, when one country decides to expand its population, every other country has to accept a lower allocation of the world's resources. The difficulty of doing this is that you are inflicting on the residents of a country a lower allocation of those resources on the basis of something they had no control over, namely the country of their birth.
