The superiority of ISO paper sizes isn’t obvious at all if you don’t know how US paper is different. Seems like different countries just use different sizes. But as anyone accustomed to using A- or B-series papers knows, A4 is made of exactly 2 A5s, and the pattern holds up to A10 and down to A0, whereas the US paper sizes are completely unrelated to each other.
So good!

To be fair, I found a freely accessible version of this with a single search. Also to be fair, it wasn’t the published version.

Yes, but it’s usually very subtle (e.g. in realizations of single phonemes or in intonation). There are also more extreme cases which other commenters have pointed out.

I recommend you look up sociolects and sociolinguistics.

It’s the other way around: RHEL is a corporate fork of Fedora.

Also, for people using some Readarr derivative with Hardcover metadata, how much of a pain is it to migrate from Goodreads to Hardcover (and is it worth it)?

Calibre-Web has always been interesting to me. Can it be deployed in such a way as to keep a Calibre content server also accessible? (e.g. for sync with the desktop app/Koreader/etc.)

Yeah, unfortunately. Apparently it was hell to maintain, especially the metadata server and all.

I sometimes wonder if I’m wrong about myself, maybe I am racist in some way but am blind to it. How would I even know?

My stance is that everyone is at least a little racist, in some way. Racism is such an essential part of society and culture, probably almost everywhere by now, that no one can avoid it entirely. However, we can try to recognize it in ourselves and other people and minimize it, and that’s what really makes the difference, the end goal being to eradicate racism entirely (also apply this to all kinds of -isms and -phobias you can think of).

Maybe there are people who have cleansed themselves entirely of racism. In my view, that’s comparable to achieving some sort of enlightened or transcendent state, which most of us can only aspire to.

Isaiah is Old Testament, it doesn’t refer to anything Jesus-related (unless you’re Christian and really love bending the text to your will).

Reminded me of this sketch I watched recently on YouTube

It’s kind of linear, in the largest element of the array. Just not in the length of the array.

Open source includes unlimited distribution. The game is still paid and they want to reserve distribution rights.

Don’t you guys [NZ] literally have a spelling bee comedy panel TV show?

The Either monad (also known as Result) provides Go-like error handling, but automated. You only check manually for errors after the last call, the monad handles the process.

But this is just one example of a monad, there are many more.

It says “strawberry morning”, lit. “morning of strawberry” (might be misspelled??)
It’s a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, “good morning”, “morning of roses”, “morning of light”, etc.

Definitely. East and Southeast Asia, the entire Indian subcontinent, most of the Middle East and parts of Greece and (maybe) Italy?!

So unbalanced.

I can see the instagram version with yt-dlp

Found the Haskell programmer

Why doesn’t a spectrum imply total ordering? Seems like an ordinary one-dimensional line (of course in reality, sexuality is not just a spectrum either, it’s some high-dimensional space, but I digress…).

Or do I just not know the word spectrum properly?

Fortunately, browsers have safeguards against this sort of thing (activating the camera without user interaction)

…right?
