A interesting property of Japanese is that a sentence is also a subordinate clause. For example Tarou wa Noriko wo toshokan de mimashita. (Tarou saw Noriko at the library.) Tarou wa Noriko wo mimashita. (Tarou saw Noriko.) Tarou wa Noriko w

Which makes the timing all the more inscrutable. AV1 is supposed to have its bitstream finalized this month. Why now, when WebM is so widespread and there are new formats on the horizon, resurrect APNG after neglecting it at the only time i

You can already do all this. In practice, I've never seen a site render its text and ads to a canvas to make things difficult for me. IMO, the bigger obstacle to "content that can't be linked, saved/archived, mirrored, c

Every number system in which all numbers occupy the same amount of space must have this property (namely, that there are roughly as many positive numbers above 1 as below 1, and therefore that there is greater precision near 0) or the accur

Jackmott is the one who introduced the standard of "controlled experiments". Why doesn't he propose an experiment design which will shed light on the question of whether classes are harmful or not?

For one, traits are inherently static and their methods are statically dispatched, somewhat like a concept. Traits which satisfy certain conditions which make them "base class-like" can be reified as a trait object, which is a vta

Just "bought" implies that the sale of the books is compassed in the past. It sounds strange because no explicit compass is mentioned and the reader suspects they are still for sale. I don't see anything wrong with "at l

Has this ever actually caused you confusion?

It's neat how you can see immigration policy being enacted though. China goes dark in 1882 (Chinese Exclusion Act), then Russia lights up for the New Immigration near the turn of the century and goes dark in 1924 (Immigration Act of 19

To be honest, I'm not seeing your pointing this out as relevant. I never claimed Rust should have a spec at this point in its life, or claimed any other language had a spec at an equivalent point in its life, and I explicitly disclaime

Not if you weight by use. C, C++, Java, Javascript, and C# all have specs. Among the most popular languages, it's really only the scripting languages that have the "as our implementation does" perspective on specification. I&

Rust is not as finalized as any of the languages whose semantics are completely defined by a standard document. There is no definitive answer to the question of what a great many pieces of Rust do beyond checking out rustc from the commit d

If we're going to use WebP anyway, we might as well drop PNG too in favor of the lossless mode. I don't know of any downsides to this. But mandatory chroma subsampling means WebP can't completely replace JPEG.
