> Wait a minute, this list goes to 17, yet the intro only mentions 14! I actually did that because a couple might overlap and a couple of them are half-approaches, and that last one is just here for fun. Besides, as I learn more approaches and add them to the list, the title will get more and more out of date anyway.
I am interested in Vale and it feels very promising, though because my interested in bootstrapping I don't like that it is written in Scala. I know, that is shallow, but that's a thing that limits my enthusiasm.
If you are like me and don't like jumping around between notes and text and you prefer to read the notes anyway, here is a little snippet you can run in Web Inspector's Console:
I would think that getting rid of the evidence is the integral part of planning a crime. Otherwise it is sloppiness. There is a lot of ways to do such things I am sure, but you have to thought it through before. He didn't or the adrenaline was too much for him.
I remember using Box86 to play some old DOS games on Windows around 20 years ago. But other than that experience I don't know much about it. I only see it mentioned somehow more lately. What differentiates Box64 from i.e. QEMU?
Box64 has the narrower scope of being the fastest possible x86-64 to {ARM64, RISC-V} userspace emulator for typical applications like games. QEMU is focused on both system and application level emulation across all sorts of architectures and use cases, with a focus on absolute accuracy where possible.
I don't like this design all that much. It makes sense, but it is too spaced out for me.
I love the design I have in my current car - Renault Laguna 3. The HVAC control panel is between air vents and on the top it has three buttons: Soft, Auto and Fast. I like how it uses words with no negative connotations (it could be Slow and Hard). Soft is for it to be quiet, Auto is the most common setting for me and Fast is self-explanatory, though also recommended if you have passengers on the backseat. Then there is the current temperature (and other HVAC settings) display and finally very comfortable and big up/down rocker switches to change the temperature with a 0.5°C resolution. I usually do not change the temperature much. A knob seems to invite changes for people who do not understand a concept of a thermostat.
Then there is AC off, closed circulation, fan speed and air distribution buttons. Right below this are buttons for quick defogging (I don't know how to call it) and the back window heating. Buttons that do not change the state shown on the LCD display have their little LEDs to signify their state.
I understand what you mean, but the point of respect would be for this all games and pretense not to matter. I know, in the real world we can't just count on that sadly.
That’s great until you cross cultural boundaries. Different cultures interpret these things completely differently so, for officials who have to interact with many cultures. What I consider respectful is different to what you would. Protocols are used so people don’t accidentally offend each other by, say, refusing food when offered (or offering a gift when it’s not appropriate).
You might think “just have respect” but what seems innocuous to you might be the equivalent of spitting in someone’s face in a different culture.
Yes, indeed. We can only endeavor to level ourselves up (as both positive contribution and social example), and then educate those around us who are willing to open to learning.
Browsers are infrastructure. I wonder if their development should be financed like other infrastructure projects. Though I don't really know what I am talking about. Who pays for telecommunication cables on the ocean floor?
> Who pays for telecommunication cables on the ocean floor?
TIL, it's a mix of private venture and public money [1], depending on which cables we're talking about. The ownership of those cables is also interesting [2] (granted, the source is a bit dated, but I can imagine that's still a trend):
> The leaders of today’s boom are two of the biggest generators of data traffic: Google and Facebook. Internet companies are behind about four-fifths of transatlantic cable investment planned for 2018-20, up from less than 20 percent in the three years through 2017, according to TeleGeography. Google has become “by far the biggest investor” in submarine cables, even taking full ownership of two of them—a reflection of the vast amounts of data the company transmits, says Mike Conradi, a lawyer at DLA Piper in London who’s been working on undersea fiber deals since 1999. Content companies “can make or break these cables.”
