I am Deaf. I lipread German, but rarely lipread English and was successful with lipreading people speaking English as not their native language, namely Greek, Estonian and Marathi but never from the Anglophone world. Turning older, my lipreading competence declines, and I prefer talking in my local Signed Language.
What this article is missing, I think, is that lipreading is not replacing auditory input with visual input because there are too many, let's just call them homophones. I find the word "visemes" a bit too cute. You need a lot of context. So I always struggle if someone asks me a very short question, because I don't know what it's about. Someone comes to me, says hello, and asks the question, and I don't have an idea what they want to know.
Re gameplays, the context is special, because you can assume that the football coach is not shouting "HAKUNA MATATA" over the field. This simplifies lipreading during gameplays. Essentially it devolves into something like a set of radio buttons.
Have some air at the top of the top reservoir, assuming that the top reservoir is at most about 10 m deep in water (to avoid damage from storms). Or have the air in separate chambers fixed to the top reservoir.
Ah, so you meant UB = unspecified behavior, not UB = undefined behavior.
Maybe. Bugs that come from spooky behavior at a distance are notoriously hard to debug, especially in production, and it's worthwile to pay for it to avoid that.
It's WASM. WASM runs in a sandbox and you can't have UB on the hardware level. Imagine someone exploiting the behavior of some browser when UB is triggered. Except that the programmer is not having nasal demons [1] but some poor user, like a mom of four children in Abraska running a website on her cell phone.
An alternative to have a company fix your expensive gadget is to do it yourself. I think about the Framework laptop. In your situation even if the company declined payment (then I wold be disappointed), I would have sucked it up and ordered a new trackpad and installed it myself. It's not the same but at least the consequences would not be so distastrous.
As a Swiss I also live in a high foreigner area. My sons are playing with children from Peru, Eritrea, Ecuador, Czechia, Sri Lanka and Italy. It's a really nice place to live, there are many children. Additionally, my wife is Asian.
Now as a staunchy Swiss I accept this outcome. I have to. The people have spoken. I just bemoan the construction regulation in the constitution. This goes against my juridicial instincts.
1999 we Swiss cleaned the constitution. It's the third constitution since 1848, and I am not happy to see weird rulings tainting the core regulations. It's like programming: after some time the source code gets messy.
No you are right. For me it's not «unconditional» neither. However the commitee's proposal is not legally binding. Parliament would have needed to work out the exact details.
This is controversial, but I think any nation can have direct democracy adapted to the nation's culture. It's just that the Swiss have more than a hundred years experience with direct democracy and have learnt for the most part to be diligent in their decisions.
