In a few years, they'll realize that the savings from public health care now requires an an even higher amount of money poured into the police, customs and justice systems to enforce it. Because suddenly, there are these weirdos trying to sell it in dark places. Who could anticipate that?
But that's for another government to deal with, of course. Not our problem. Oh, and the future government will be happy to announce they are giving funding that will go to new jobs!
I propose a ban on people that use bans as a brain-less cheap way of fixing complex issues.
And here I am, just wishing that someone with the knowledge would make font ligatures that render -- and --- as en and em dashes, so I could use them more.
One of the minor but very welcome latest updates of Microsoft Windows was the addition of the capability to type Win+- to get an en-dash (–) and Shift+Win+- to get an em dash (—).
> The company will proceed slowly, says Sharon Rosenzweig-Lipson, chief scientific officer at the company, treating up to 12 people with a specific type of glaucoma, and then up to 6 people with another condition, called NAION, that causes acute optic nerve damage. The genes will be regulated by a genetic switch that turns them on only when participants take a certain antibiotic.
This would be huge for IoT. It'll obviously be abused to send "metrics" (a.k.a. private data to be sold) by companies, but still. I hope there's no limit on SIM cards.
This is nice, though I think the use of indices instead of stable identifiers might bite in complex models that undergo changes. I've been toying with the idea that you could specify a point (2D or 3D in some coordinate system, depending on context) and pick the face/edge/point closest to that as the identifier. The only other alternative I see is diffing old and new, and trying to match the outputs of each operation geometrically, but that would produce extra output that needs to be persisted...
E.g. when splitting a face in OnShape, I might have to redo a whole bunch of operations later because the identifiers change, but I'm often surprised how good it is at matching up faces after a single operation. Like modifying a sketch, then having to add the new face to an extrusion, but then it magically does the right thing for chamfers and drafts.
Yep, topological naming solving is a hard problem to solve. It took FreeCAD many years to get it to work correctly. That's why I went with indices for this version. You can also use filters like extrusion.endFaces(face().arc()) to get only arc edges.
When the user click on a region we insert a 2D point, then the extrude feature will find the nearest face.
I have experimented with adding this picking logic to selections too select().pick() which will probably be merged in future releases.
Stock prices are reflection of what speculators expect to happen. So the depleted munitions thanks to Ukraine and the drive to get some independence from an unreliable Trump regime makes this unsurprising.
Indeed. Tit for tat is well known to be an effective strategy. It's almost guaranteed to create one side that feels weaker than the other, while giving that party a way out.
