Using the product or vendor logo as a menu icon on desktop is its own trope. The Apple menu and the Start menu aren't even the same kind of menu, nor do they function the same as "hamburger" app or website navigation on mobile.

They describe this camera as "cheap" even!
This is one of those cases where causality is implied but is questionable. Finding lovers in the sticks is hard enough; it is exceptionally difficult if you are queer, and that's going to influence behavior and choices in all sorts of ways, and those can be rationalized in all sorts of ways, too.
A less charged example: adults living in cities are (probably) more likely to participate in, and value participating in, team sports. Let's assume they report honestly as such on a questionnaire.
Obviously, there are more opportunities to play sports in cities, but does that imply that rural folks wouldn't partake at about the same rate if they could, even though they say that they wouldn't?
I can see plausible arguments in either direction, and for several kinds of selection and reporting biases.
I don't think any mathematical relationship between the address bus and either 640KiB or 640MiB was intended, it was just the anchor point for how huge 4GiB of addressing was viewed at the time.
The article then goes on to say that the NV1 used 23 bits of the address bus but adds in the next paragraph that 16 bits remained to use for data. That math isn't working out for me.
Actually, I'm really struggling to understand how this scheme would work at all. It strongly implies open addressing with no other MMIO devices to conflict with, but that's just not how I thought PCI worked. Maybe someone who knows more can explain it to me.
There's a line to be drawn somewhere between artist and craftsperson. Creating beautiful things to a brief has always been a teachable skill, and now we're teaching it to machines. And, we've long sought to mass-produce beautiful things anyway. Think textiles, pottery, printmaking, architectural adornments.
Can AI replace an artist? Or is it just a new tool that can be used, as photography was, for either efficiency _or_ novel artistic expression?
Other disapproval comes from different emotional places: a retreading of ludditism borne out of job insecurity, criticism of a dystopia where we've automated away the creative experience of being human but kept the grim work, or perceptions of theft or plagiarism.
Whether AI has worked well for you isn't just irrelevant, but contrarian in the face of clear and present value to a lot of people. You can be disgusted with it but you can't claim it isn't there.
They were rare in the US before, I want to say, 15 or 20 years ago but I see them all the time now and new ones are always being installed. Good traffic devices, with the above tradeoffs in mind.
We were pretty "soft" (dislike the term) on the land borders and on immigration. Fairly easy to enter, to claim asylum, to live and work on different sides, and so on.
I don't have an answer for the question of if we should be making our border security as intense as it can be elsewhere, but I don't love the story of just doing as other countries do. We're exceptional, right?
I don't think this is a great comment I'm writing, but it's how I feel about things right now.
There's a lot of it in various species of Cinnamomum. My guess is that they are using a mix of true cinnamon and its close relatives.
It occurs rarely and in small amounts in other plants, so small that I don't think it would be economical.
The only other shortcut to "natural" flavor that I can think of would be GMO bacteria or something.
It's very likely that the natural flavors include other things unrelated to cinnamon, like vanillin or eugenol (cloves, carnation). Flavoring is an art closely related to perfumery, by the way.
This is something that feels like it should be true but it isn't. The Constitution applies to everyone with some very specific exceptions to the jurisdiction of the United States.
What is true is that there's a long standing sort of gentleman's agreement between the courts and the executive that basically grants the administration a large amount of discretion in handling immigration despite the Constitution.
Subpixel text rendering was removed from MacOS some time ago, though, presumably because they decided it was not needed on retina screens. Maybe you're thinking of that?
This seems awfully close to "avoid Spring" to me, heh.
Though, I've grown rather fond of Spring Boot over time, but I've gathered that's not exactly the popular consensus.
It's just not a very persuasive argument, even when I make it to myself, because I believe so strongly that other things are more important.
At the very least, if you're going to write comments, bug reports, and code reviews, each one should be descriptive enough _on its own_. Not the right time for DRY! It is indeed irritating having to follow a thread across several places to get to the answer.
That's wild. Even the article author seems to have a tongue in their cheek when issuing this "warning" that is definitely not a hint. Is it safer than it sounds?
The show's aesthetic takes a high dose of "cassette tape futurism", juxtaposing advanced tech with the primitive. Also featured are anachronistic computer terminals, VHS tapes, and music records. The car choices play well with that.
N.B.: Particularly primitive is Lumon's surveillance of severed employees. This hardly makes sense when the chips can be activated remotely, but heavy surveillance would kill the exploratory velocity of the story so that was a good choice, in my opinion.
