I now use "ASCII em-dashes" by using two hyphens -- like this. Or--if you prefer no spaces--like this.

YouTube already supports that natively these days, although it's kind of hidden (and knowing Google, it might very well randomly disappear one day). Open the description of the video, scroll down and click "show transcript".

In that case, how come they "left in the first days of the job" because "they saw what they were going to work on and peaced out"?

I seriously doubt saying "big blond haired baby who likes burger and fascism" instead of "Trump" would have made a difference for these people.

No, it's both. The purpose of high school is to give you a wide foundation on everything. The purpose of an undergraduate degree (in math) is to give you a wide foundation (in math). In a (math) PhD, you are generally hyper-specialized

No, and this is where this formal notion of basis I mentioned unfortunately diverges from what is perhaps more useful in practice. You can represent any function f: [-pi, pi] -> R as an infinite sum f(x) = sum_(k = 0 to infinity)

The set of all real->real functions is still a vector space. This vector space also has a basis (even if it is not as useful): there is a (uncountably infinite) subset of real->real functions such that every function can be expressed

I feel like this is kind of pedantic - if your definition of the word "political" renders their point moot, then clearly they must be using a different definition. But I understand what you mean. The problem is that 99% of online

I once had to solve a captcha in a foreign language because of that. Wasn't something obvious like motorcycles either, it was something like "click on all hamsters" in a grid full of various rodents.

I suppose the point is that it's not the voiceless glottal fricative? To my ears [ħ] sounds closer to [x] and [χ] than to [h] (even though the place of articulation is closer to [h]), but I'm sure it's different for people wh

My team uses Matrix and I must say I'm not satisfied. There are messages that I get a notification for every time I open the app, and "mark as read" buttons that do nothing, especially if you use threads. This is something th

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wonder if this "missing piece of insight" is at least sometimes an illusion, as in the "monads are like burritos" fallacy [0]. Of course this does not apply if there really is

In fact, Facebook is so sure they already have everyone that new users are often flagged as suspicious and banned by their automated tools without even doing anything. No other site could afford to do that.

You're right that discoverability is not really the issue. However, I still agree with the GP that if you are not on the Play Store, you lose most of your installations. If someone has already discovered your app and can't find it

As a customer of Kagi, it's better than the current Google but it's still not the Google of 2010. Google sponsoring irrelevant results is one thing, but the bigger issue remains: in 2024, creating a trove of worthless "articl

It is, and if you choose the number uniformly at random, it's not just "effectively" zero, it is precisely zero. GP's point, as I understand it, is that it is not actually possible to choose a number from [0, 1] uniforml
