Is that the fault of the system, or the fault of the tourists for visiting a new place and not reading up on local customs?

"God must be angry with us. :("

Or even the fifth-grade science project you can do. Fill a soda bottle with air, a soda bottle with CO2, put them in the sun, then measure their internal temperature. You can do it with your kids in an afternoon.

They don't have to. Monopolies are funny that way. They did, however, sue to outlaw alt milks calling themselves "milk" because their dairy sales were hurting along with their feelings. What a good crowd of folks.

Ah yes, meat and dairy farmers, famously good guys who never use their leverage and lobbying dollars for evil.

Not exactly. Harfbuzz, the font shaping library, has an optional feature to use WASM for shaping. Normal font hinting is much more restricted, precisely because Turing-complete fonts are a horrible idea.

The engine isn't built with it by default, so this is a non-issue.

It's technically not arbitrary. There is a stack, of sorts, but IIRC it has a depth of six or so, by default. You can do cool stuff with font shaping, but you can't easily execute arbitrary code.

No, because Unicode doesn't concern itself with rendering, it's just for codepoints.

That's communism, obviously.

Oh wow, I didn't realize there was no problem and everything was perfect already. Thanks!

Well no, because the US practically invented "f*ck you, got mine". Everyone ELSE has to sacrifice, not ME. Not in MY back yard. Not in MY school. Not in MY city. Guess what happens when everyone turns into a narcissist? Cyclists die and the drivers get a slap on the wrist.

Not surprising that someone who can't see how dangerous cars are also can't see how dangerous putting cyclists on the sideWALK is.

Except road funding, huge chunks of which come from the federal government (because, big surprise, cities and states can't afford thousands of miles of stroads and highways without invoking a government that can print its own reserve currency).

To be fair, I used to live like two or three miles from school, and we would've had to pay for the bus because I was "too close". So mom dropped me off at like 6:00 AM because we were poor as shit. If we cared about education at all, we wouldn't make families pay for something that I'm pretty sure used to just be free.

You can fit like 50 people on a bus, and maybe 10 in the equivalent space taken up by two SUVs. Seriously, how is this a question?

And who benefits from the massive increase in CO2? You DO realize that your cozy cul-de-sac won't be spared the effects of climate change too, right? It rained 20 inches in Miami the other day. It's broiling in India; the nighttime low was like... 94. You think serving cars is "serving people", but it's actually just serving you, and your selfish desires. The problem is, every other snowflake adult with a car and a sense of entitlement feels the same way. That's why people say they're stuck in traffic, and not that they ARE traffic.

I've never met a more selfish person than the one who feels entitled to their massive vehicle.

The entirety of the Netherlands used to look like the US in the '60s and '70s, albeit not at Super Sized(TM) scale. Look up their urban design in 2024, it's quite pleasant and human-friendly.

In case you need a reminder, this is the hottest month on record, beating out... last month, and the month before that, and the month before that. How do you think this happened? Hint: not bikes.

I mean this matter-of-factly: have you ever actually ridden a bicycle?

Are these the same bike lanes that start and stop randomly and are often just the shoulder of a 45-mi/h road with a bike, and implied middle finger, painted on?

Then watch 51% of the Senate (representing 17% of the country) claim that that's communism and then shutter the EPA in retaliation.

Well, the energy use required kinda is an externality, in that the entire planet continues to warm in ways that are deleterious to continued human prosperity. But who cares when you can get BIG TRUCK.

Adult brains, too. I appreciate the study, but this is one of those "yes, obviously" situations for anyone who has ever been outside amongst cars.

Someone else posted some very real physical challenges with Alcubierre drives. This isn't negativity, it's reality. Those people aren't saying we definitively can't do it, they're saying "here are the problems we have to solve first". It's fascinating that people here interpret that as negativity. It gives an air of toxic positivity.

I hope it's clear why iPhones and violating about a century of observed physics are not entirely the same things.

People need to get comfortable with git being a DAG, and not the degenerate case of just a straight line. Merge commits aren't scary, folks.

Then why are you even using a VCS?

How is it supposed to know how you want your errors handled by default? Handling errors is the programmer's job.
