My friend's homophobic dad was diagnosed with HIV right before his wife filed for divorce. They had a long discussion about how he got it, and he admitted to it being another guy. She was very lucky not to have HIV as well.

There does exist a correlation, but like all generalizations, it does not apply to all cases and can come off dismissive, rude, or minimizing when it isn't actually true. I find that it's best to avoid sweeping generalizations for people at all.

I think accessibility is widely misunderstood. The way I view it, it's not only about giving people who need them more ways to access something, but also giving people who want/prefer them those methods as well.

One example of this is wheelchair ramps. Building the ramps benefits those who need them by giving those people a way to go up/down an incline, but many people use the ramps. The ramps are also for those who would prefer to avoid the stairs.

Digital tools are another example of this, and a great one. Keyboard accessibility is a must for people with visual impairments, but also a preference for many who prefer not to move their hand to the mouse constantly. Keyboard-accessible tools are almost always a better experience to all users as a result.

Not building for accessibility is honestly just lazy. It shows that you don't care about your customers, and you don't want them to have a good experience. At best, you want to force your experience on them and only your experience is allowed (my biggest gripe with Apple products honestly).

As for digital art, I've seen a lot of what you mentioned, and I think it's honestly been going on for centuries at this point. It's problematic, especially because not everyone wants to create art in the One True Manner(TM) and may want to experiment with new ways to create art, or may want the art as a part of a larger project and don't really care about the means (as long as it's ethical).

While impressive, a minifier can bring it down to 1 line of JS! I do like that this can function as a reference for making simple canvas-based games though.

While I agree, it makes connecting to localhost as easy as http://0:8080/ (for port 8080, but omit for port 80).

I worry that changing this will cause more CVEs like the octal IP addresses incident.

Edit: looks like it's only being blocked for outgoing requests from websites, which seems like it'll have a much more reasonable impact.

Edit 2: skimming through these PRs, at least for WebKit, I don't see tests for shorthand IPs like 0 (and no Apple device to test with). What are the chances they missed those..?

What's wrong with putting tampons in the men's restrooms at schools? Won't they come in handy if there is a shooting?

Anyway, this reads to me like free advertising for Walz.

(Disclaimer: do not try to use a tampon to patch a bullet wound)

Imagine how different the story would be if they compensated people for this data. "10% off Geforce NOW if you let us use your gameplay footage as training data!" (for example)

This is obviously cheaper and there's way more data to train with, but it just continues to skirt a line in copyright law that desperately needs to be tested.

I think MH3 is really just showcasing the absurd powercreep in these MH sets. MH2 turned Modern into a MH2 format, and now we're seeing that with MH3. The difference with MH3 is they released it to more formats (arena ones, like historic, timeless, and brawl).

I know they just want to sell packs, but format warping cards should be banned. They shouldn't just print more format warping cards to replace them.

Still working on an assertions library that I started a few weeks ago. I finally managed to get async assertions working:

expect!(foo(), when_ready, all, not, to_equal(0)).await;

It also captures values passed down the assertion chain and reports them on failure (without requiring all types to implement Debug since it uses autoref specialization).

Hopefully it'll be ready for a release soon.

Honestly, regardless of what happens to Intel, I'm hopeful for Qualcomm providing a real alternative in the CPU space, especially an alternative as meaningfully different as using an entirely different instruction set. More diversity between competing products in the space can only be a good thing since it gives consumers more meaningful choices to make when deciding between products.

Reminds me of a card game my brother taught me once. I managed to take two games off him after dozens. He was using me to test some decks he was deciding between taking to a world championship, that he won 4th in. It's technically possible to win a game, but there's practically a 0% chance I'd have won a match.

People talk at the urinal?

People on Chrome adding Reddit to their Google searches already use Google. People not using Google who don't search "Reddit" are going to see fewer Reddit results.

No, this won't kill Reddit, but it certainly isn't helping them get more traffic.
