It would likely get shortened to emu, and then we would all be wondering if it's an emulator or a large bird.
How interesting. Doesn't the fungus get its name from the oxidized metal though and not the other way around? Mold the form and mold the fungus seem etymologically unrelated, however.
The Perseverance team is also hosting an AMA today (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/lpzbzo/were_scientist...). We live in exciting times.
Please do not misconstrue what I have said. The term "oreo" has a long history of being used as a racist epithet. There is nothing wrong with using it as an analogy, but in a discussion on racism, it might be better to…
> I think this is only because it was contained in China before it reached the world Is this true? According to the CDC, there were SARS cases reported in Europe and the Americas prior to containment in China. Why was…
What makes a toolkit accessibility-aware? Is it not enough to support native widgets?
It absolutely can be a legal requirement, though I am not arguing that it should be one. I was specifically addressing the comment "I don't think people who need a screen reader are going to be playing a twitch-reaction…
I would think the same thing, but playing video games blindfolded is a thing. Look up ponktus Super Metroid 100% blindfolded and zallard1/sinister1 2p1c blindfolded Punchout for examples. If it's possible for someone to…
The oreo itself may not be racist, but it most definitely is associated with racism because of its colors. So I would caution you in using it as an analogy; it may be why your post was flagged.
> Either they automate removing content and end up removing some of the good with the mountains of bad, or they do it manually which costs a fortune and is too slow. I think this is a false dichotomy; they could…
Yes, master could mean master copy, but that analogy falls apart quickly. Obviously it's not master/slave (I don't even know what a slave branch would mean). But that doesn't mean it's a good name. And not being a good…
Of those, I've heard of white hats, but I've not heard of white markets or white sites. If it had been black list and green list, I'm not sure anyone would have made a racial connection.
Blocklist to me means a list of blocks, like blocks on a disk. I am not a fan of using it as a replacement for blacklist. I am in favor of denylist, though. I have never liked blacklist as far as I remember. I could…
Christians like to think of ourselves as less degraded than our neighbors, rather than less evolved. It amounts to the same thing in the end - a false superiority.
I get the same feeling. Is there any way we can isolate the underlying cause? Maybe then it would be possible to change things for the better.
I avoid both NYT and Fox, because it's too much effort to fact check every detail of every article I read. Both have too high an error-to-fact ratio IMO. That sort of thing has a way of affecting one's thought.
(To clarify, I'm not suggesting Wikipedia is a good source of medical information -- it's not. Often I find articles say one thing and the citation says the opposite. But in spite of that, it's a much better starting…
The main reason IME for a header-only C++ library is that when it is template-heavy (as a lot of C++ code is these days), a lot of it ends up in headers anyway, so it's not a big leap to header-only. I've never seen a…
I've done that and the only general news source I have left is NPR. I think I'm foolish to have all my eggs in one basket, but I can't find any other baskets that aren't broken.
I think you meant this as a joke, but yes, that's exactly right. It's fact checkers all the way down.
The gamification is to get more people involved. I can't change the way news is produced, because I don't produce news. But I could make meta-news, which seems to be what riles people up on social media. I agree that…
I have said more than once that the cost of a lockdown must be balanced with the risk it avoids, and I have never been accused of being a liar or being anti-science. But I'm also not a public figure, and I think that…
Reading that now is different from how I remember it. At the time I thought he was saying that there were so few cases in most of the country that it didn't make sense for everyone to be wearing masks yet. It seemed…
What if we could gamify rating news articles as truthful and unbiased? So take a NY Times article, you get points for everything you find that isn't 100% correct, whether it's a typo or a mischaracterization. You get…
Cello added support for the img tag in 1993, before Netscape was ever released. At that point in time, I recall it was the second most popular GUI browser, behind NCSA Mosaic.
