- To help debug - which browser are you using and on which OS?
- This article is a specific case of a more general piece of advice: ask questions well (provide context like clickable links, trim down your query to the minimal reproducible case, pose high-precision questions, etc.).
- In addition to the feature being auto-on (for me, at least) and unasked-for, you also need to perform multiple clicks through non-obvious menus (I think one of them was "Audio track"?) to get to the original audio. Another layer of obnoxiousness.
- > I scrolled back, thinking I had missed where they described that
The explanation of that phrase is in... the very next three sentences.
- Lawrence => Law => Lawson
- Anecdote to support your comment: The Chinese Remainder Theorem has featured in Advent of Code at least twice IIRC. Not an algorithm the average programmer (average is a very fuzzy term, yeah) would know.
- (genuine question) Were their ads being placed next to pro-Nazi content at the same rate a few years ago?
- I'm seeing multiple examples of it in this thread at the time of writing! It's baffling. Do they not know how humans brain generally work or are they just being willfully dishonest?
- I'm no adtech expert but I suspect that potential customers would form mental associations between two things that often show up together, like pro-Nazi content and the ads I'm sponsoring, and I wouldn't want that.
- > The contrary is almost certainly true: picking fights with well-selected made up enemies is an effective way to promote a brand that is based on virtue.
I concur. Anecdotally, I see lots of content from TikTok creators replying to negative comments. At first I wondered why they seemed to be only amplifying negative responses instead of their fans, and then it hit me - those were the videos that did well (i.e. those videos got the most likes, views, shares). Showcasing a "hater comment" turns on the video viewers' tribal instinct. We want to side with the creator, to show the hater their place.
- Another cool solver for the same game https://www.michaelfogleman.com/projects/ricochet-robot/
- Merlin's pretty at good at identifying mockingbirds by sound alone but once in a while it outputs a bird that's not even expected in your area. It rarely makes the reverse error (identifying the call of a non-mockingbird as the call of a mockingbird) in my experience!
- Caution for folks learning about the Merlin app from this thread: it's good at identifying bird calls, especially in North America, where there's a lot of training data, but it's not conclusive and can sometimes lead you astray by misidentifying a common bird as something exotic, or getting confused by birds that mimic other species (like mockingbirds). Treat Merlin Sound ID's suggestions as just suggestions, and use multiple inputs to identify a bird - appearance, structure, plumage, time of year, time of day, behavior, habitat for example.
- Collecting some of the points other posters made:
1. Languages don't always neatly map to country borders.
2. Linguistically diverse / multi-ethnic countries can have multiple official languages, and some of those official languages are spoken only in a geographical subset of the country.
3. Languages can be mutually intelligible. Urdu and Hindi are mutually intelligible and you can get by speaking Urdu in most parts of North India. The Balkan languages are largely mutually intelligible - correct me if I'm wrong.
Cute visualization, half-baked idea.
- Would you happen to have a link to your solutions (Github, Gitlab, wherever)?

I went and checked out the Borges fable mentioned here: https://kwarc.info/teaching/TDM/Borges.pdf
Looks like the ChatGPT summary is completely wrong? The map gets discarded instead of rendering obsolete the territory.
Rust newbie q - why use `x.wrapping_sub()` instead of regular old `x - 1`? Seems like we're never going to underflow `usize` for any of the 3 formulae?
