Sometimes yes. My dentist explained she recommended Colgate because none of their 30 equal choices used to contain stannous floride, so it was easier to shop by brand than search for which ingredient to avoid specifically amongst the competitors 30 choices

That aluminum beverage can (and also tin cans) is lined with a kind of plastic, so you and food aren’t in contact with the actual aluminum in that case

It probably formed a weak battery electrode with the bowl and electro-deposited it on the substrate (pizza). Happens often with tomato sauces, like lasagnas.

That’s what this article here is about. Yes, FDA is known to make questionable actions, as are other agencies around safety or efficacy of drugs. But here the statistics continue to show they are right about vaccines.

Yeah, but picking utf8 over wtf8 for this in 2026 feels a lot like picking utf16 over utf8 in 1995. You know the choice is broken and you know there is a correct fix already out there.

Why would repeating a study now and getting the same result as when it was first measured in 2020 be a reason to doubt the safety?

I’m also pro-vax, so I don’t think it is correct to equate ignoring the preponderance of current evidence (in 2021 or 2026) for vaccine protection as being careful. That just seems the logical fallacy sold by “vax hesitant” and social media influencers to make people feel smart to ignore statistics and “make their own choice based on intuition”

Having read it, he does cite something for almost every claim. Although almost every source also contradicts his conclusions on some basic, logical, statistical, mathematical, or humane level, if you bother to fact check them. So it’s quite hard to quantify what it means to say it has good citations.

I was on a jury for a case like that. The charges included committing the other crimes in the presence of a minor. The minor in reference was a few days away from his 18th birthday, clearly acting on his own volition, and my understanding is the minor bad already been given essentially a slap on the wrist and his record cleared when he turned 18. The judge explained after the trial was over that his sentencing has significant flexibility to take those kinds of factors into account.

Not net zero exactly, since it’s a flows and rates problem, not static equilibrium. So it could even be strongly positive effect or negative effect based on how quickly the heat gets radiated back into space depending on how the wavelengths interact with the surroundings and the atmosphere.

Our current cities and infrastructure are designed to be black heat sinks to soak up heat and hold onto it and ground level. But there is research into what would happen if we flipped that design around.

Silently corrupting the path seems an odd choice in this day and age, when WTF8 has existed for many years and fixes this round trip bug / security vulnerability

This seems the real answer. The question of whether the billing team can set accurate maximums is largely disjoint from the question of whether the engineering team shuts off service precisely at that moment.

And contrast ratio seems far higher to add on to the benefits. I want to like reflective displays, and there are many new ones lately too, but they just fall a bit short, especially if they try to do color

That’s entirely a user package manager though and is GPs point: what uv does cannot be done in a package manager like apt which sees itself as only doing system package management.

It’s not horribly broken any more than your toaster is for not needing constant updates. Though I do have such a longstanding love/hate relationship with Ubuntu because of this. It is why it runs everywhere and just works (even powers the WSL2 defaults), but everything it provides also always so very far behind I end up recompiling so much important stuff by hand.

Wouldn’t c99 also make you name the type there (looking sort of like a cast), further straying from being just kwargs? I thought this was a c++ deduction feature for it to bind the initializer to whether method could take that list

This is such a clever way to automate so that the setup actually works. I just set it up, and wonder why the author didn’t set it up to trigger grayscale on app opening. I noticed that app switching also isn’t considered closing an app, so it seems most reliable to trigger on app open as well as close

It’s 1 automation for all apps

The clever insight here is that it automates turning grayscale back on whenever you leave (or alternatively open) an app

Good. I’ve driven with people who learned to drive in a city and so were not taught to use high beams ever, out of fear of accidentally annoying on coming drivers

If you are using low-beams and driving more than about 45 mph, you can hit something (or someone) before you had time to see it (or them). Granted, that doesn't matter if you're following someone else, since they'll hit it first. Which is why you need high-beams on when there isn't someone else around to light up the distant part of the road for you--and which depends on how often you drive remote roads.

Toolbars (pre office-ribbon design era) were understood to only have frequently used items which are the ones that also happen to have icons. Then the office-ribbon thing happened, and everyone complained about that because it meant everything had to have an icon and everyone had to memorize what every icon meant (I’m exaggerating slightly)
