C tolower() is locale aware and handles utf-8 as well as many other encodings
2017 is quite a long time ago, especially in terms of how long smartphones have been around (and arguably even in terms of how long cell phones have been mainstream). The US is way behind here.
Hydrofluoric acid. Nasty, nasty stuff.
This is absolutely a false equivalence. Google and Meta choose to give the government all sorts of data that they're not required by law to give, because they don't see it as worthwhile to go to bat for their users. You…
Most advertised commercial uses of "AI" are glorified search. This seems like an improvement in that space?
You greatly overestimate how long systematic weather data collection has occurred across even first-world countries, nevermind the rest of the globe. There are certainly many, many places _right now_ where daily weather…
25 feet is actually pretty far. You could be on top of a two story building or across the street and still be "too close". Obviously neither of those cases would interfere with an officer's duties. To me this law is…
In pure water it's not an issue. In drinking water which has all sorts of "stuff", getting very to that level of precision isn't easy.
What is your alternative which is better than a jury trial?
IANAL and all that... If it's truly accidental (as in a rogue employee or a script that f'd up), they probably have a legal basis to break the contract/license terms and retract it. Just as stores are not required to…
It works fine, I use it all the time for my hobby OS development.
I don't think it's a joke. The possessive plural is a disaster in American English
I consider line wrapping to also be part of a sufficiently smart editor, and line limits should also go away in an ideal world. The limiting factor on line length should be "is this too complex for your coworkers to…
The grocer's apostrophe (which I will argue should be called the grocers'(1) apostrophe, since there are many offending grocers) is the bane of my existence (1) My phone absolutely tried to correct that back to…
I maintain, that if everybody used a sufficiently smart editor, tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment would be the objectively correct choice.
They will have inherent _output_ latency.
This exactly. I've got all six original Star Trek films on UHD blu-rays. I was recently visiting my mother and we watched The Voyage Home (the one with the whales) streaming on her TV. The compression artifacts were…
If it's the one I'm thinking of: the title was about government, but all of the examples in the article were private firms with profit motives. The author implied that government must work the same way as industry, but…
Yup. At a previous employer we had a "loop until [list] is empty" in our interpreter. This list would be appended to by any recursion in the interpreted language (effectively saying "this recursion also needs to be…
You over estimate the 'semi-pro' market for graphics cards. Gamers are barely willing to pay for 20GB. There's no market for consumer cards with an order of magnitude more RAM until games are built to use that memory.
As a US citizen, I tend to agree...
I started the topic, and you chose to respond to it. The topic and contest is "the concept of professionalism is used as a tool to oppress people" (although I phrased it gentler). I said nothing about social filtering.…
That doesn't address my assertion that "unprofessional" is used as a cudgel to abuse minorities.
How is any of that related to the issues I raised? I never argued that any of that was acceptable. I'm not arguing that anyone should be able to do anything in the workplace, and that is a bad-faith reading of what I…
