It's a crime in this day and age to make a new font with an uppercase I and lowercase L that look the same. It's hard to believe people are still designing new fonts with this glaring error. In 2026!

Could you explain the first step, "Manually Labeling Colors ? What did you manually label? I didn't quite follow. From the way the article is written, it sounds like you presented yourself with a bunch of faces of completely ran

So now there are two mutually incompatible versions of YAML that silently apply different semantics: both do implicit coercion but _different kinds_ of implicit coercion. YAML 1.2 still coerces an arbitrary set of ways to spell "true&

Approval, not ranked-choice. Ranked-choice reduces transparency and understanding of the vote-counting process, disenfranchises an alarming percentage of lower-income voters, obstructs risk-limiting audits (which are essential for security)

Whether they are sentient isn't even relevant. I agree with you that they aren't, but sentience is the wrong thing to focus on. It's also the sort of hairy, sensational question that will easily lead people down rabbit hole

The important indicator is "I spend more time on this than I myself want to." That applies equally well to games or anything else.

I like this approach. Specifying the requirement in terms of measured impact is a good strategy because it motivates the app companies to do the research and find effective ways to address addiction, not just replace specific addictive UI p

I don't think the same of them because they are not the same thing. Can you not see that the potential for harm is far greater? You can't simply ignore the potential uses of the technology you create. You have the choice to des

When you generate real-time video of realistic-looking talking characters, the definition of success is fooling people into believing they are talking to a real person when they aren't. If you pursue this, your explicit goal is decepti

The primary purpose of generating real-time video of realistic-looking talking people is deception. The explicit goal is to make people believe that they're talking to a real person when they aren't. It's on you to identify

Renaming files from a window title bar broke some years ago and has never been fixed. I most often want to do this in Preview, but every other app with clickable filenames in the title bar has the same problem. The filename in the title ba

My thought exactly. The sampling circles only enable you to (awkwardly) solve a problem that was fabricated by using circles in the first place.

That's a legitimately run _election_, which is necessary for but not the same as a legitimate democracy. For a democracy to be legitimate you need an impartial judiciary, an enforced constitution, fundamental civil liberties, and an a

What does "be a lifeline" mean? If it means "rescue them every time they have a financial emergency", is that an infinite commitment?

Are you able to understand the difference between taxes and slavery? If you can, try your hand at explaining why taxes and slavery are different. I'm am not merely asking rhetorically; I'm serious. It's a worthwhile exerci

Can you explain how these work? Does the server send small subrectangles of the large grid when the user scrolls to new regions of the grid? Does the browser actually have a two-dimensional array in memory with a billion items, or is ther

Goodness gracious, that font in the new logo is the most hideous font I've seen in a very long time.

Code can show you HOW something is done. Only documentation can explain WHY it is done that way.

Also wrong. You can always destroy value by making a mistake. Trading and then realizing you made a mistake, just like investing labour and then realizing you made a mistake, does not create value. Trading is not special in this regard.

It is indeed misleading. It is showing an untruthful value, and an untruthful change in value, on purpose. A small lie, perhaps—but nonetheless a lie.

You have a strange idea of what "right" means. Showing a true reflection of the actual, irregular, progress is getting it right. It's honest and informative.

It's a lie, though. When I see it, I know the interface is lying to me, and then I trust it less henceforth. I'll never build a lie into my work. It's not worth it.

Okay, they messed up something here. The number of little ASCII-art person squares depends on the size of your browser window . The squares get smaller when you make the window narrower, so it looks like it was coded to try to keep the

The weakness of formal verification systems is that they turn the problem of writing correct programs into the problem of writing correct specifications, which is just as difficult, while adding extra layers of complexity. How do your tool

Wow, that's a massive blind spot you've got there. The value comes from doing the thing . Fixing the tractor creates value. Growing and harvesting the potatoes creates value. Trading the potatoes for something you value more, y
