I've noticed that, if an equation calls for a number squared, they usually really mean a number multiplied by its complex conjugate.
I’m sure plenty of pedestrians have been killed by cyclists.
I did some quick searching and found 2019 data from Europe. In all of the EU that year, bicycles killed 19 pedestrians while cars killed 3200 pedestrians. Over 168 pedestrians killed by a car for each killed by a bicycle. I know there are plenty of irresponsible cyclists, and yet they are still a tiny fraction as dangerous as a driver.
Nostr, another federated social media protocol, kind of like ActivityPub (which we're using right now), but different.
Yes, but not all clients expose dependent tasks (which is sadly a common issue with open standards: they aren't always properly implemented). I'm using Tasks.org on my phone (which supports dependent tasks), synchronizing to a Nextcloud server with the Tasks app (which supports dependent tasks now, but didn't for a long time), which also syncs to Thunderbird (which does not appear to show dependent tasks as dependents).
Edit: remembered that the Nextcloud Tasks app has long supported dependent tasks. I was thinking of recurring tasks, which it does not support. Again, open standards aren't always fully implemented.
It sure feels like we're at the peak of the Gartner hype cycle. If so, the bubble will pop, and we'll end up with AI used where it actually works, not shoved into everything. In the long run, that pop could be a small blip in overall development, like the dot-com bust was to the growth of the internet, but it's difficult to predict that while still in the middle of the hype cycle.
The original blog post (linked in the article) refers to this as a DynaRec, i.e. a dynamic recompiler. So it's not exactly emulating, but nor is it the ahead-of-time recompilation that Rosetta 2 can do.
Relevant XKCD. Humans have always been able to lie. Having a single form of irrefutable proof is the historical exception, not the rule.
Days before the 2016 election, 538 (which Nate Silver founded and was leading at the time) ran an article titled "Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton". Nate Silver and 538 did some of the best forecasting of that election. Don't conflate him with others' screwups.
You're correct. You'll notice every president in recent history has multiple assassination attempts listed. The bulk of them don't go very far.
Technologically, I2P handles large data transfers much more efficiently than TOR. That makes I2P useful for torrenting large files like Linux ISOs.
Why not? Toddlers do things like point out clocks all the time. The "passive agressive" part is the parent's interpretation. The actual action that is described is so very normal.
And yeah, it did used to be a lot more common. And before that, it was a medical term.
It's the euphemism treadmill in action.
'This decision allows pedestrian bridge options for the area to be evaluated with further input from the community'

> Months after cancelling the construction contract for a new downtown pedestrian bridge in the face of “unforeseen challenges,” city officials have called off the project altogether. > > As stated in a post on the city’s website on Friday, plans to build a bridge over the Speed River connecting The Ward with Downtown Guelph have been scrapped. Instead, city officials will look for ways to include pedestrian flow into another nearby project over the river.
K-9 mail... isn’t supported or being developed any more.
That's not true. They make frequent-enough releases, they post monthly progress reports, and they are actually going to become Thunderbird's Android version.
Having said that, I almost switched to FairEmail because K-9 lacked support for some sort of authentication measure (which I no longer need), but that wasn't because K-9 stopped development.
According to Wikipedia, John Riccitiello was CEO from 2014 to 2023. So I think your facts are off, unless Unity was planning layoffs and fee changes nine years in advance.
Instead, note that Unity went public in 2020. I expect Riccitiello was pushed by the board to improve profitability, then left with a golden parachute for being the scapegoat.
"My experience is that most of the people who get really upset about the current leadership of our nations tend to be folks who haven’t spent much time either as an activist or as someone working for a candidate. What happens instead is they immerse themselves in on-line news and commentary."
On November 29, 2023, City Council amended and adopted Guelph’s 2024-2027 Multi-Year Budget with investments that focus on maintaining City services while supporting existing and growth-enabling infrastructure, as well as housing and homelessness. The budget will help
This is the first time Guelph is will have a multi-year budget. This one will cover 2024 through 2027. The city is soliciting feedback through town halls and council meetings, since a long-term budget will have a significant impact on the city.
Does Guelph need a bylaw designed to reduce light pollution and what could that bylaw address? We held two community workshops in November 2023 to share a little about the bylaw process, explore reasons the community might have for reducing excessive lighting at night
Two workshops are planned to learn more and share ideas: first online on November 9, second in-person on November 14. More opportunities to get involved will come in January.
About the project To connect communities and provide links to the trail/cycling network in Guelph, planning and design for this future active transportation bridge over the Speed River is moving forward. Two concept-level bridge designs were considered for you to
A pedestrian bridge is being planned over the Speed River, between Emma St and Earl St, just south of Speedvale. The city wants feedback on two concept designs for the bridge.
Program schedules can be seen now at recenroll.ca
There will be four speed enforcement cameras, rotating between different locations, all by schools. The first four locations will be:
- Westwood Road, in front of Westwood Road Public School
- Colonial Drive, in front of St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic School
- Metcalfe Street, in front of King George Public School
- Ironwood Drive, in front of Fred A. Hamilton Public School
