When film is converted to 50 Hz TV, the film is sped up 24->25 fps and every frame shown twice. When converted to 60 Hz TV, there is "2:3 pulldown": every even frame is shown twice, every odd thrice. (Actually, both PAL and NTSC have interlaced video modes, with only every other line updated each frame, so as to conserve bandwidth.)

BTW, when 60 Hz computer monitors were introduced in Europe and used in office spaces with fluorescent lights with passive ballasts that flickered at 50 Hz, some sensitive users suffered headaches from using the computer screen for too long. These days, both fluorescent lights and LCD backlights tend to flicker at much higher frequencies that it isn't much of a problem.

I have seen that on the AEKII the two keys' switches are even electrically connected on the circuit board.

When I had been in university twenty years ago, I had constructed a language with "effects" as I had understood them then: side-effects annotations. I could not in my head recognise how the new effects were like those I had read about in the literature back then.

More recently, I've been working on a compiler back-end/runtime in my (too much) free time with support for resumable exceptions. I didn't know it before, but after reading this article, it appears that the runtime actually does have support for "effects", without me really trying.

It too uses WASM, but for running non-Rust programs in sandboxes. Everything else is Rust. Hmm.. Last updated in 2024 though.

Therefore, all polyps should be removed. (Sending them all to the lab might be superfluous though)

Methyl cellulose is in gluten-free bread and in most fake meat products.

Some emulsifiers are found in mayo, other sauces and "ice cream". Not just vegan brands, but overall.

I was the same age. My doctor saw signs in an early blood test, and followed it up so mine got detected relatively early. My test was positive for Lynch syndrome, and I am now a colonoscopy veteran.

I haven't heard about any risk with the natural emulsifier in egg yolk though.

If you have no prior intestinal diseases and are in for a routine check, ask for the quick-acting one. You will have to drink the same total amount of liquid, but at least most of it will not be drinks of your choosing.

Also get anal cream, and apply it once before going to the toilet.

They have not launched anything into orbit yet though. Only high-altitude probes.

Marx and Engels had originally envisioned a liberal democratic society with lots of high ideals but they had allowed the transition to it to be tough. Every self-proclaimed "Communist" state never got through that transition: the people in charge never let it (often never intended to) and instead cemented their authoritarian dictatorships. So let's call those what they were.

Compilers can often do some static bounds-checking of such arrays. But because those features had been introduced together with variable-length array stack variables , people have lumped them all together and thus shunned these features that could otherwise have added safety.

BTW, one thing you should never do is use variable-length array declarations and alloca() in the same function. As VLA variables have scope life-time and allocas have function life-time they are not compatible — and allocations could overlap. Yet, not all compilers (/versions) that support both warn when they are used together.

We've seen the phenomenon before. We've been warned against the phenomenon before, and we'll see it again in other contexts in the future for sure.

People want to be recognised for their contributions to society. People want to be treated fairly. Most scientific articles, as well as all text on the free web is already free information. It used to be difficult to search, categorise and summarise that information. There exist AI tools for that — and that is the good AI.

What also exists now are automated plagiarism and mash-up tools: that can take someone's article, change the words and churn out a new article that people can put their name on. There are scumbags that sell services for exactly that. And there are big tech firms that are operating in a very grey area.

Aaron Schwartz had broken a paywall. He did not anonymise the article authors.

You, and AI-bros like you remind me of one the people behind Pirate Bay when I argued with him back in the '90s, who used that same "information wants to be free" to justify software piracy.

The current US government is not representative for governments out there in the world, you know.

The point was not to sell them, but the community around the hobby. I usually asked for only a little more than the cost of materials.

And that is also how I've approached open source software: It's a community first. In my first decade of using Linux, it was a movement. I got in it to build us a better future of computing, together.
