If you look at the URL, this is the stdlib for debugging leadership.
One project deciding to call their standard library stdlib doesn’t mean others cannot.
Nitpick: there are a couple cities covered in North America as well, so not exactly European.
> They should be investing like crazy to make Safari the best browser out there
So true. It didn’t occur to me that I had naturally assumed Safari to be worse, when it would have been better in a more competitive market. So by relying on monopolistic behavior, Apple is also partly responsible for the Chromium monopoly (that this law will help solidify).
> I am a man of simple tastes, and running the “vanilla” Minecraft server as a Systemd unit on a Linux VM in the cloud
Minecraft is famously under-optimized and needy in terms of CPU frequency.
If running a vanilla (no server mods) version, then using something optimized, like PaperMC is a better idea for datacenter VMs.
(Until you need to dupe sand or something.)
The other route is installing a bunch of optimization mods - some really do help.
Yes, for Chinese & Japanese, not breaking words is nice, but not always practical. Maybe if you’re writing a speech, so as not to mispronounce the word in the 5% of cases when that happens. The CSS line-break property pretty much sums up the actual rules.
Some apps do ship a dictionary to allow for double-click selection of words. They don’t always get it right, though.
I imagine that the usual protections will deal with this (e.g. too many requests from the same ASN or same user agent or something).
Then they can ask for a phone number or credit card (fly.io reluctantly did this).
Then they can always remove the free tier, at this point the abusing party will have ruined yet another free platform for everyone.
I remember encountering an arithmetic toy which had buttons for 1-9, as well as +-*/. If you pressed 6/2 it’d go “three”, but 7/2 would be “Haven’t learned that yet”. Though that was pretty fun.
Wow, I would imagine this being very effective in election campaigns (for better or for worse, probably for worse).
Unfortunately no, Goodreads says it’s only been translated into Korean and Chinese.
I’d say buy it from Amazon or wherever, but then the paperback needs OCR and afaik Amazon.co.jp doesn’t sell ebooks outside Japan…
Or perhaps try the movie, which is available with English subtitles.
Amazon had something similar around 2021 called "Amazon Explore" for $10-$99, where a local tour guide would lead a small group. You could also buy souvenirs and have them mailed back to you. They seem to have discontinued it though.
> Warp's insistence on passing my origin IP to my destinations
IIRC WARP was only able to forward your origin IP to websites using Cloudflare. Then, as of Aug 2022, their FAQ[1] says your origin IP is hidden regardless of which website. Their IPs do reveal your geolocation though.
There was a bug[2] that revealed your IP to select websites; that seems to have been fixed by Nov 2022.
Disclaimer: I’m not knowledgeable enough to test every possible IP leak mechanism (like WebRTC), so I didn’t do that. I’m basically taking their word for it.

The Nevada State Bank once recommended a Uni-ball 207 (any pigment ink pen will probably do) to prevent check washing fraud: [video]

They've been trying out a lot of things lately - Loops, Scheduling polls & email reactions in Outlook to name a few.
Excited to see how this will turn out.
