What's the legal status of these? Historically there was a notion of "clean room" reimplementation. These days it seems people translate the actual game code into a different representation of that same code and that makes it

Sometimes a person will tell a story which is untrue, with the purpose of bringing levity to a conversation. This may be termed a joke. These stories may also be used to illustrate a point. It's important to note that such cases are no

It seems to be a rather brilliant piece of marketing to put that phrase in the title. It raises curiosity in a way that a generic "make friends" does not. (The "win" is a subtle move also.) Once the readers are drawn in,

Do we really need to see your every half-baked thought on here though? It's okay not to post or to set a high bar for yourself. Frankly, even without AI, most communities get degraded as they become more popular and the stream of comme

It works great with my kids sometimes. Asking a series of questions about some kid-level science topic for instance. They get to direct it to exactly what they want to know, and you can see they are more actively engaged than watching some

As someone who isn't well versed in this Node ecosystem, why is omitting a standard library a separate project? It sounds like something you'd do as a Node feature, or variant of Node, or some command line switch or env var or wha

Yes, the relevant blur here is in your retina, as it tracks a moving screen object, called "sample and hold" blur. 60 fps is not enough when the pixel persists for the full frame duration -- the pixels smear across your retina.

The brands who have continued to sell this ingredient should be considered untrustworthy. It's basically fraud.

This paragraph looks wrong. "In 2005, when D.R. Horton sold a record number of homes, it made $1.47 billion. In 2023, when it built roughly half as many, its profit was a little over three times as high, or $4.7 billion. " It did

From first principles, it is normal to ban material. The ages and exact policies are debatable but these articles are entirely one-sided. It appears that most of the handwringing is about politically disagreeing with the bans, not hardships

I brought this up because the slate article cites book banning as a reason for decline of reading for enjoyment by age 9. I am arguing it is irrelevant and also essentially false in terms of classroom libraries generally not being removed o

Sure but that was backed off. The law does not, in fact, apply to all books with LGBT content regardless of what they contain. There was a March 2024 legal settlement clarifying many cases that are explicitly not prohibited. Also, do you th

That pen.org article focuses on "number of bannings" but mixes together state law (predominantly Florida alone) and individual school district policy choices. It also avoids discussing which age is appropriate for these topics. Mo

That does not say teachers can't keep a library. At most it says that the titles in said library need to be reviewed/approved by the school. The emphasis on "taking away libraries" appears to be partly politically motiva

What is the case, they literally are not allowed to have (any) books in the classroom? Can you be specific as to the mechanism here? Do you yourself have any link to any evidence? You (the article) are making the claim.

The defunding thing sounds like a bit of obligatory politics. "In some states, teachers can’t even keep a classroom library because they have to protect themselves from book bans" Yeah this sounds false.

I'm not sure why people buy into the idea of this being down to an underling and not the CEO. Generally, the way this type of management structure works, it all heavily depends on the direction and incentives in place from the top down

OLED itself doesn't solve motion blur. But at least the Alienware one they recommend has a high enough refresh rate to mostly solve it. Getting such high refresh rates at 4K is sort of unrealistic without some other visual tradeoffs at

Some of these books describe obvious (or at least uncontroversial) things. Like one book describes issues with Celiacs eating wheat in a way that implies it's a general risk for everyone. However diet can clearly affect the gut microbi
