How exactly does this trick work? Thing is, a URL can't have any non-ASCII characters in it. So this would only happen if the webpage or some app takes the URL and undoes the percent-encoding to try to make it more readable.

It's been fixed now.

I can imagine this scenario:

Cashier: Your total comes to $8.45.

Customer: All I have is a $20. Is that okay?

Cashier: Yes, it’s San Francisco law that we accept cash.

Customer: Okay, here.

Customer: …

Customer: Where’s my change?

Cashier: We accept cash, we don’t give change.

The San Francisco law doesn’t require that change be given. Be prepared to carry small bills and coins.

Do you mean “Ada”, the programming language? It's not an acronym.

* CO2, not C02. (Oh, not zero.)

I'm not sure if that's correct. While Nintendo does make some profit selling the Switch console, it's not much, and they make most of their money by selling their own games and charging fees to third-party developers. But I don't know the exact amounts, so this may be wrong.

But if you're in Python, why would you need to need to execute separate processes to do any of that?

No console had a 16-bit processor when the NES was released.

Airliners are always cycling in fresh air, no matter the altitude.

The SNES wasn't at all underpowered compared to the SEGA Mega Drive. In fact, it was better in many ways.

I think you mean steganography.

Others have mentioned the ways that DOS was good enough or even better for some applications. One of the main strengths of a GUI wasn't being graphical, it was that every program had a similar interface. If your work just uses one program, DOS wasn't bad.

But remember that the people who use computers aren't the people buying those computers. They're purchased by the boss, and the boss isn't going to spend a single dollar for a better user experience, much less the hundreds or thousands it would have cost. This still applies today to enterprise software.

Can't you define a discontinuous function over some other set besides the reals, such as the set of all computable numbers? For instance, a step function is discontinuous at a single point. You can also define a function that's discontinuous at every point, such as the indicator function of the rationals.

I don't have any experience with constructive set theory, so maybe I'm missing something.

I don't think so. As far as I know, ZIL was a variant of Lisp.

Great! That was really bugging me.

Years ago, I ported the emulator Atari800 to Macintosh. I used MULE's title screen to test the sound emulation.

Who knows, but Ukrainians really need to not live under Russian rule, because the Russians will steal their toilets, steal their children, and beat them for speaking their language.

The Apple II supported programming and hardware development, but mostly it was used with pre-made software like VisiCalc.

“Nothing about the Star” is the false part.

The video has a description that you could read.

Many Android developers now use Kotlin instead of Java.

They're on iOS too.

But even then, most of the time computers were used to run programs written by others, such as spreadsheets, word processors, and games. (Though a spreadsheet can be thought of as a specialized type of program.)

This is just false. Even forgetting about all of the overhead of making sandwiches, it's more than just a dollar's worth of ingredients. The skimpiest sandwich will probably have more than 2 ounces of meat, more like 3 or 4 ounces. The cheapest turkey from the supermarket is about $0.50 per ounce. So that's more than a dollar right there.

The title is incorrect. As the article states, there is more than one airport for New York City, so the phrase “the NYC airport” is misleading.

No, it is not owned by the City of New York. It's owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which is controlled by those two states.

It's similar to a recent Project Euler problem, #828.

Hmm, I didn't know that.

Yeah, but WWDC moved back to San Jose in 2017.
