I think that it was good that it stood out to be honest.

This should be upvoted. Thank you, I hadn't realized that OP was referring to the heading font or scrolled down to see what is yes, quite a remarkable ligature. It appears to be Lato delivered from < https://brick.freetls.

I inspected for a ligature and any evidence of CSS kerning being turned on before commenting, but I didn't test it to see what the page looked like with it turned on, so I didn't have active knowledge of the possibility of a ligat

Back here on the lay benches, I think the best starting point in the Wikipedia is probably the the article on inhomogenous cosmology, of which the Timescape Comsology proposed by David Wiltshire (listed as an author on this paper) in 2007 i

It's not joining it in a kerning sense, that's just the remarkably serif nature of EB Garamond, which has a little teardrop terminal on the tip of the 'c'. It's possible that you have font smoothing that is tainting

I asked ChatGPT-4 mini the previous comment's question (""Which is heavier, a 9.99-pound back of steel ingots or a 10.01 bag of fluffy cotton?") in new incognito tabs until I got an incorrect result. It only took four tr

I'm rejecting the idea that software distributed in any way that has an MIT license can be "de facto" closed source. I think that this is a conceptual misapplication of the term "de facto," which implies an argument

I'm not confused, I'm pointing out that the license in a private source repository changes the legal rights of the person with respect to distribution of the software defined by the contents of the repository, and than therefore a

This sounds like it is de-facto true but it isn't. A private file repository with a closed source license is in-facto different than a private file repository with an open source license. The license is not altered by the access permis

Well sure we can both make unsourced assertions all day but as far as I can see the flag state is responsible for illegal conduct of commercial vessels only insofar it has failed to meet its obligations for regulatory and legal oversight.

Just to clarify again, this is a dry bulk / Panamax vessel. It is part of the shipping industry. At scale, it is analogous to a railroad car. In 2015 it was operating as the Avra under the flag of Greece. The foreknowledge of the Chine

There was a degree of proof of work involved. Text took human effort to create, and this roughly constrained the quantity and quality of misinforming text to the number of humans with motive to expend sufficient effort to misinform. Now sup

I do not think it true that it goes "both ways." Patients do not have a collective responsibility to doctors. Patients should not go untreated because other patients lie about their addictions. Being a doctor means exactly watchin

Generally speaking, I defer to your expertise point of view in the matter, and I agree that it will be far easier to generate meaningless research that passes the test of appearing meaningful to reviewers than it will be to generate meaning

There's an interesting story inside this interesting story. In the counterfactual, the company continues to manufacture and sell the product as a cordless telephone for a few years before the rest of the vendors catch up with it in ter

I think the question on everyone's mind is probably how to produce a signal from inside the hull of a single-hulled cargo vessel in the North Atlantic that will allow one to relay messages in morse code to the US Navy.

There was a shift in how the word 'hominid' was used around the 1990s, largely due to the introduction of genetic classification if I understand correctly. Hominids (humans and close ancestors) used to be considered distinct from

I don't think that it would be wise for anyone to rely on such practices. Even with the best of intentions, obsolescence and unintentional misdirection are strong possibilities. Considering normative intentions, it is an invitation for

But maybe you guys are 1.25 developers. I mean if most people are staring at their screens and done for the week on Friday and you're still getting things done then in terms of ideals — because okay I know this needs hashing out in pra

Honestly if knowledge workers are sort of dialing it in unhappily with minimal productivity after X hours and labor/service/on-call workers can keep plugging away for Y>X hours then there might be some win-win there in terms of

To my circumstantial understanding, it is plausible that fragments of an interceptor detonated in proximity to the warhead could achieve supersonic velocities capable of delivering the requisite shock, but I lack the knowledge to argue the

The charges will not be like nitroglycerin, but they will be highly explosive and will detonate when sufficiently energized. Under the right circumstances the kinetic energy from a fragment of an interceptor would suffice.

Nice but I believe that parody goes against the spirit of the comments section.

I think that you deserved a bit of pushback on how you phrased that, but that nothing that you said beyond describing it as 'gatekeeping' was objectionable or even wrong, and that the rest of us should ease up, having seen that th

I have no comment of actual value to contribute but I note that by the standards of the field we can infer the existence of the Schxorr algorithm.

When you ask someone a question, their answer isn't a rebuttal and you don't give them hints, come on. Really needlessly obnoxious. He replied to you in good faith.

Actually, you said something hyperbolic that was spectacularly false, which you seem to have no intention of acknowledging. If one has a defensible point, it's usually much better to go ahead and make that point in the first place. As

This also seems misleading with respect to Hitler's rise to power, which had far more to do with the weakness of Weimar Germany's institutions and the cynicism of the ruling classes than the SA or the SS, although I agree with you

Under conditions of omniscience and omnipotence the difference is meaningless of course but I suspect you're right.
