Do Nerd Fonts use the Unicode private use area?

It seems not. It seems like they replace CJK characters instead.

The PUA seems like the right way to handle this.

Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.

I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.

They can't even be punished. robots.txt is just a convention, not a regulation. It's totally not enforceable.

The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn't caught up.

With a good style/best-practice guide, C++ can be quite productive of a language to work with.

Those kinds of guides typically define which standard/convention to use and which features not to use (cough exceptions cough).

I highly recommend Google's C++ style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html.

I intentionally added a period because it was the end of a sentence.

If your Lemmy app messed it up, then that's a bug in its markdown parser.

cbarrick , (edited )

Huh. This got me curious.

Yes, I did just type a bare URL. Every mature markdown parser I've used turns this into a link, and appropriately handles trailing punctuation.

So I went to the spec, and it's explicitly called out that this is not an autolink. Autolinks must be explicitly surrounded with angle brackets <>.

So yeah \shrug.

https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#autolinks

Edit to be clear: This means that both of our markdown parsers are wrong relative to the commonmark spec. But I'll argue that if a parser is going to attempt to autolink this, then handling trailing punctuation is better than not.

The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.

But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?

To me, this just sounds like the network isn't rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don't use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.

Nvidia is in a great spot for the AI bubble.

It drives up prices now, but when the bubble eventually burst, data centers are still going to need accelerators for more viable compute tasks.

Absolutely the most robust business in the bubble.

When did they remove the briefcase?

I remember it on Windows 98, but not XP.

Was it removed with the DOS/NT transition?

Or is it still around, just hidden?

Fine tuning a general TTS model on a specific custom voice doesn't require as much data as you think it does.

The hard part is building the foundational model that can be easily fine tuned. And OpenAI has already done that.

Lol. I love that Tenacious D is in this.

Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).

You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.

This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.

This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don't know of any formal classification system for outerwear.

What zombie work, across all mediums, does it best?

Some punctuation and the proper superlative makes OP's title a bit more readable.

In the US, I pay $90/month ($1,080/year) for 1 Gbps internet.

That's it. No TV. No landline. Just Internet.

Philosophy is just applied existential crisis

@showerthoughts

cbarrick ,

I was gonna say this.

Existentialism is kinda boring IMO. But the philosophy of language, knowledge, and ethics are all super interesting.

cbarrick ,

In addition to questions of end-of-life, Existentialism also deals with questions of purpose-of-life. Which can be mind racking even if you're not afraid of death.

Still not super interesting questions to me though.

Queen Latifah (Dana Elaine Owens) got her start as a rapper in the 1980s and began acting in the 1990s.

She is probably most known for her roles in Chicago, Hairspray, Bessie, and the Ice Age series.

These days, she stars on the CBS drama The Equalizer.

Nintendo has shown they have no interest in making real console hardware

Ah yes, the no true Scotsman argument.

Nintendo doesn't make hardware to compete with Sony and Microsoft, despite having the best selling console hardware all-time, among the current generation, and among several previous generations.

You don't have to be a graphical powerhouse to compete with PlayStation and Xbox...

Is it bad practice to use rm -rf / to delete my files, or should I specify the path explicitly?

I've always used rm -rf / to delete my files, but I noticed that it also deletes a lot of other things. Is this bad?

Just put the site behind a cache, like Cloudflare, and set your cache control headers properly?

They mention that they are already using Cloudflare. I'm confused about what is actually causing the load. They don't mention any technical details, but it does kinda sound like their cache control headers are not set properly. I'm too lazy to check for myself though...

cbarrick ,

If caching is properly configured, the cache (Cloudflare) will see thousands of requests, but the VPS should only see one request.

Mastodon Incorporates as a Non-Profit in the US ( wedistribute.org )

As a project, Mastodon has operated under the umbrella of Mastodon GmbH, a German company that benefited from non-profit status with the German government. Despite all indications that they were doing everything right, Mastodon GmbH recently had its non-profit status revoked, resulting in the team to seek an alternative....

The EU is terrible at maintaining good tech companies.

Like, they have some really important and innovative consumer protection regulations, but they are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one...
