> Personally, I use the en dash. It's shorter

But not a replacement. It's meant to represent ranges.


Is Facebook the go-to place to look for rentals over there? Or generally, elsewhere?

Yes, Facebook Groups is the go-to place, especially if you want to interact with the owners directly. It has become a major player in real estate listing.

And every book has the same cover image — — while many have a cryptic, almost (?) random string for the title — latest ThePrimetime's "XQC_algorithims_v7-final.mp4," after a short stint as "Don't click unless your XQC."

Come on. Are you an employed developer? If so, even if you have that much power over the flagship product of the company, that you can use it to pad your résumé, do you think the same happens at Microsoft? By all means, the bugs may speak of skill issues (or may not: there's also crunching, mandated AI... Who knows), but the Cloud-first, push-ads, force-account etc. enshittification is the implementation of a vision I doubt was collectively composed by devs, let alone a single dev.

The ads pushing would be just as possible with a fully native start menu.

Using React for it was probably done since it's just objectively easier and faster to tweak a React app than native components (see various folks complaining about WinUI).


I was addressing the concept of developers taking it upon themselves to rewrite the menu (in whatever; React is beside the point) in order not to seem redundant and to pad their résumés.

Microsoft Google.

Useful. Which saddens my heart.

It doesn't delve into what quantum battery are, unfortunately, other than saying they "leverage properties of quantum mechanics” and "charge faster as they get large" — I'm curious about the practical implications of the latter, should the technology become ubiquitous. Still, quite interesting.

It’s written in the linked paper:

> Here, we utilise a microcavity quantum battery as an experimental platform that superextensively captures light energy and converts it to an electric current via the incorporation of charge transport layers into the resonant microcavity. This architecture enables, for the first time, a complete quantum battery charge-discharge cycle. We demonstrate that strong light–matter coupling induced by the microcavity leads to superextensive scaling of the steady-state electrical discharging power under low-intensity, incoherent illumination. Our results provide the first experimental demonstration of superextensive light-to-charge conversion in steady-state, highlighting the feasibility of leveraging strong light–matter coupling for enhanced energy harvesting under low-light conditions.


Ohhh, I assumed a paywall. Thank you! What a thoroughly interesting reading that was! Poor Einstein would find all of it preposterous.

What really hurts is that, ultimately, the initiative derives from and serves the interests of the Island Man Class.

And I've translated its definition of "likely access" here: https://hackernews.hn/item?id=47338260

Thanks!

I think that means the Mastodon instance I'm on, with ~50 users (all adults, that I can tell) does not count, right?

I remember the BBS days back in the 1980s when the BBS admin called you up to verify adult status.


Honestly, it's Brazil. Anything goes. Minister gets mad at Musk? Twitter is blocked, daily USD 10k fine for users circumventing the block. So, despite what you've just read, Canonical was included in their list of companies which need to comply. [0] In short, who knows. I'd say they might have a less dishonest case against Mastodon instances than Ubuntu, though.

I long for the day AI replaces the entire brazilian judiciary.

Hasn't it?

I wish. They're still getting paid kingly sums.
