They don’t even have to be blue! You can have useless ticks in many different colors!

In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

I don’t disagree that they’re different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably

In the US, I’ve heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it’s freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”) if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that’s event pricing for ya)

Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I’m pretty sure that’s a brand name we use as a generic term.

Hey I don’t disagree with your points but just wanted to mention that El Salvador is in North America (in a sub-region known as Central America)

edit: unless there are additional South American facilities they’ve been building that I’m unaware of

Past a point, your instructor/professor only has so much time to read through everyone’s papers, and it’s easy to waffle. If there’s no limit and a student turns in a 500 page write-up when the expectation was 50, that student’s paper will take a lot more time to process through. Enough students do that, and what was supposed to take one week to grade now takes considerably longer, which is a big problem when there’s extra curriculum to go over.

Me? Reading that there’s a drop-in replacement function for the one that was deprecated, in the error message? Why I’d never!

Maybe the onus should be on LLM developers to filter out trash like this from their training datasets

At any rate, it’s extremely unhelpful to not include a version number at the very very least

On average, disposable plastic bottles shed microplastics much more prolifically than plastic water piping.

.loc and .iloc queries are a fun syntax adventure every time

Sometimes things only appear impossible when we don’t think in more complex terms

Just because it isn’t real doesn’t mean we can’t imagine a world where it can work

I’m not Canadian but I greatly support these measures, so if I may I’d like to weigh in.

I think that manufacturing country and ultimate ownership are probably the biggest key factors, as they dictate most where the lion’s share of money flows in a consumer economy. For example, if there’s American investment/VC/private equity for a company but it’s like 10%, it’s not great but definitely not as bad as a completely international company with locations in Canada.

If you want to get super fine-gained, you can even dig into whether a company outsources a significant portion of its auxiliary labor (e.g. digital infrastructure, customer support, shipping) to international firms, as that can make a difference as well.

Component sourcing is also important but there are a lot of cases where domestic isn’t as feasible due to global supply chain reasons. That’s one that’s going to be much more industry specific. Like, if you’re buying furniture and the wood comes from abroad when there’s a robust domestic timber industry in your country, I think that should be a red flag.

Coming to a final determination on any company is going to be one of those things that exists on a sliding scale and probably would benefit from some sort of scoring effort. Either way, my verdict is that any measure that boycotts the US is worth the effort if it’s done by enough people. Even a few loonies per person spent on local vs international over a broad enough group will make a noticeable impact.

It’s the same “I’ll respect you if you respect me” dynamic in an imbalanced-power system.

I’m screwing you over if I personally feel bad for what I’m doing to you (never happens, therefore I’m always fair). You’re screwing me over if you inconvenience me.

Bootstrapping! Using your non-native compiler to compile a compiler written in the language your compiler parses!

I guess you could consider someone who is staunchly whitehat with no exceptions to have a creed/code, where they consider the rules transcendent of any specific situation (e.g. nazi websites).

Deliberately sabotaging your job as a government worker (assuming you’re not working in a military industrial complex or enforcement job) plays directly into the right’s framing of government as inefficient. It’s important that public-facing positions be competent to foster public trust; after all, those positions are what conservatives dismantle first as pretext to abolish an agency. After public discontent sets in through first-hand experience dealing with understaffing, those public services become ripe for privatization.

The text is translated to English, yes, but the original art was drawn for Japanese text which usually flows top to bottom, right to left. The entire visual design of a manga or comic book is structured around the reading direction for the language it was originally written in. When adding translations, you can’t just change the bubble locations since they’re almost always incorporated into the artwork directly.

With the above in mind, you effectively have two options with manga: flip the artwork before adding the English translation so the bubbles flow left-to-right, or leave it alone and just explain the reading direction differences. There are often artistic, logistical, and financial reasons for the latter approach, so it tends to be more common.

When on physical paper, most manga books are also read by flipping the pages right to left, and most of them explain this to English-language readers trying to read it the “normal” way on the last page.
