> the link only becomes clickable if you hold down a modifier key.

Fun trick not a lot of people know -

In a web browser, links which are normally clickable become UN-clickable if you hold a modifier. On a mac, it's (option). It's helpful if you want to select text inside a large link (or in a button) so you can copy it.

This might be operating system/browser-specific. On Windows Chrome, shift-click opens in new window, ctrl in new tab, and alt downloads the link.

Thanks, I did not know! On Firefox/Linux, it's Alt and dragging the mouse through the part of the text you want.

lol, that's the stupidest thing that I've ever watched all the way through with a grin the whole time.

Why would they film a demo video of it spewing out barely-coherent rambling repetitive drivel? If your model sucks at writing essays, maybe just tell us that, and film a demo of it doing something it IS good at?

> even just two dots above the USB3 and two dots above the USB2 wouldn't be rude.

But then they'd look the same! :-P You're reminding me of the old story about the leprechaun, commanded not to tamper with a marker over the location of his buried gold, nor to move the gold, instead filled the entire forest with identical markers.

> "would require every bookstore to verify the age of every customer at the door and, for minors..."

It's a dumb law, but, devil's advocate - isn't that how porn shops work? And porn shops also sell some non-porn items, too.

This is the difference between standing on a street corner shouting "shit" and taking a shit on a street corner.

The court is generally pretty adept at navigating the difference between "a bookstore that has some spicy books" and "a sex shop that has some non-spicy books".

I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

Most modern social media is the latter, but for trash and propaganda, rather than sex. So why doesn't the court apply the same rule that it's okay to check IDs on entry?

Probably because there are reasonable principles to draw on about withholding access to explicit sexual content from children, but there are no similar principles about trash or propaganda. Trash and propaganda are both pretty clearly within the remit of permitted free speech.

So was porn, until the court just decided it hated the constitution...

Can you back that up? Basically nowhere else I'm aware of do we draw that kind of expansive categorization. A gas station isn't a book store if they have one rack of books next to all the snacks. A book store isn't an electronics shop if they have a rack of e-readers.

Now apply that logic to the whole of the internet..

You might arrive at an old saying, about what the internet is for.

Airport newsstands used to sell adult magazines, do I buy a bottle of water from a porn shop every trip?

Laws which are open to abuse are bad laws. Full stop.

The world is very complex. It's effectively impossible to write laws on most topics that perfectly capture all nuance. Which is why we have a judicial system that can look at a law and a situation and say "nope, this law (or this usage of a law) is incorrect". Which is what's happened here, where the court issued an injunction on enforcement of the Texas law.

ICYMI Kavanaugh endorsed arresting people because they look brown so I'm not sure why we're putting any faith in the court system.

Yes, first amendment is not absolute.

Only the second one is absolute for some reason.

Far from it, but I'd rather not drag things so severely off topic. I'll just point out that you used to be able to mail order some surprising (at least by modern sensibilities) stuff.

Interesting, you think the second amendment is absolute? Can you elaborate on that?

but what about my senile mice? please, won't somebody think of them??

I chuckled, but presumably it's useful for applications where you want data types to take up the same amount of space, like for matrices or database columns? Or maybe where you coerce different data types into boolean? The language offers WordBool and ByteBool too, so they're pretty consistent. And AFAIK, there aren't any languages where you can specifically allocate only a single bit for a single boolean.

You kind of can in C with bit size specifications on struct members, but you’ll still face the problem that C’s minimum alignment is one byte - so a struct containing a single 1-bit field will still occupy a byte in memory. However, it does let you “allocate” different bits within a byte for different member fields.

C++ has vector<bool>, which is supposed to be an efficient bit-packed vector of Booleans, but due to C++ constraints it doesn’t quite behave like a container (unlike other vector<T>s). Of course, if you make a vector<bool> of a single bit, that’s still going to occupy much more than one bit in memory.

There are plenty of hardware specification languages where it’s trivial to “allocate” one bit, but those aren’t allocating from the heap in a traditional sense. (Simulators for these languages will often efficiently pack the bits in memory, but that’s more of an implementation detail than a language guarantee).
