The defence strongly objected multiple times and sought a mistrial over Daniels' testimony; Judge Merchan ultimately allowed most of it over their objections, setting up a likely issue for appeal by Trump's team.
The defence attempted to engineer grounds for appeal. We will see whether they were successful in that. Trump’s legal defence MO is to delay everything for as long as possible and hope it goes away.
They have certainly done enough to convince Trump’s supporters, but that was a low bar to clear.
Completely - they simplify the act of transforming data into visualizations down to the essential association of dimensions to axes/color/etc visualization concerns.
Visuals defined in JSON (so perfect for manipulation and generation) and also able to bake-in custom interactions within that is an awesome power.
I like the look of Observable Plot, but it doesn't do interaction like Vega/Vega-Lite. (They are working on some interaction though, and they have quite the team)
Leftists are not liberal; the two are diametrically opposed to each other. (Right-wingers are similarly opposed to liberals, just in a different way.)
Liberalism favors democracy, rule of law, freedom of things like speech, free trade, free-market economics to various extents, etc. Leftists oppose much of this. If you want to see what leftists support, just read about the history of the Soviet Union. (And if you want to see what the right-wingers support, read about the history of Nazi Germany.)
That scene is heartbreaking to watch. Keoghan deserved the academy award for best supporting actor this year IMO (as for best screenplay, while I think Banshee's should've gotten it, it was pretty close and EEAAO would've been my second choice anyway),
Is it supposed to be a caricature of a mentally disabled person? What is great about that acting? Not being rhetorical here, I'm not a person of high culture.
The InterViews library, written by John Vlissides, was for writing GUIs in C++ under X11. It came out in the early 90s. (Yes, I'm an ancient programmer)
He was one of the Gang of Four who wrote Design Patterns,
but he wrote this library years before the book came out. It always seemed to me that he invented all the main patterns in the Interviews library before they were subsequently (nicely!) documented in the book (which went on to become a smash hit).
I've since realised that I much prefer functional programming (Clojure!) over OO, BUT, oh my goodness, what a truly groundbreaking and beautiful bit of work it was for its time. I read every line of code in that library, and I became a much better programmer for it.
How many amazing GUI libraries and codebases have been discarded over the years?
So much wasted human-centuries of software labor.
I think of things like the PowerBuilder datawindow widget, something that HTML+JS couldn't touch for 15 years until I started to see things like ExtJS and jquery. And it ran on 486s and pentiums.
As for the original question, practically all the superuseful UNIX utils that had to be performant on ancient MHz-class hardware is amazing stuff.
The article makes no mention of Photobiomodulation (and there’s no mention in these comments at the time of writing).
And that's odd. Because that's the HUGE idea here. Yes, there are concerns about the harms associated with the UV end of the spectrum. But there are also the massive benefits from the Near Infrared (NIR) end.
Certain NIR wavelengths, around 810nm to 850nm, penetrate up to 5cm into the body and have a dramatically positive effect on mitochondria, creating the most powerful sub-cellular antioxidant (melatonin) to manage Oxidative Stress. This is well-established science now. Indeed, the exact mechanism is known (cytochrome c oxidase, etc).
It turns out that for good health it helps to be exposed to the Sun (and specifically NIR). We're more plant than we realise (a different mechanism obviously).
And, if you think about it, how on earth could we have not evolved to take advantage of the “free” energy provided by the Sun, particularly the NIR part of the spectrum which actually delivers about half of the energy.
