"One of them is responsible for unspeakable atrocities and the loss of millions of lives. The other made some tweets that negatively affected stock prices. It's hard to tell which is worse."

I'm certain other judges will be stoked to see people cite this in future cases. "You can't punish me because other people did similar things and aren't part of this trial. Here's an earlier case where the court has decided that way."

The parliament has spoken against "chat control" as well AFAIK. The Commission, however, is probably still trying to find a way to eliminate privacy in whichever way they can.

Ah, good old Book of Erotic Fantasy. It's so gloriously stupid that everyone should own a copy. That table is by far not the silliest part of the book.

It's only bested by the official sex rulebook for The Dark Eye, which is an April Fools joke that spiraled out of control and has actual rules for intercourse – deliberately bureaucratic and unsexy ones included purely as a "you asked for it" joke at the reader's expense.

True, but those are not the people the men's is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can't do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it's trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).

The official Linux client has been discontinued. Microsoft's official solution is to use a browser – they explicitly mention Firefox.

There also seem to be unofficial clients. No idea if those are any good.

Stainless steel is resistant to a certain degree of corrosion depending on the specific type of steel. If Tesla went with a steel that's resistant enough to handle rainwater but not resistant enough to handle salted roads or salty maritime air then their cars can rust even if they're made with genuine stainless steel.

Of course that still means they chose the wrong steel.

Grip style. People grip their mice in different ways and the Magic Mouse really doesn't work for palm grippers. For fingertip grippers it's one of the most comfortable mice ever made; for everyone else it's hot garbage.

That's why I like my G Pro. I usually run it wired but if I want to travel I can just unplug it and stick the receiver in my laptop.

It looks like a carbine version of the USFA Zip .22.

To be honest, the first incarnation of Spaces was really damn good; they deserved some credit for that. Then they made it worse so it matches iOS.

Compared to other languages it's still very barebones – but admittedly some of the bloat is also because the JS world is kinda set in its ways. I still see people use jQuery for basic selector queries and SASS for basic CSS variables.

Another factor is that developers these days assume that users have fast unmetered connections. Loading 800 kB of minified gzipped JS from ten different domains is seen as no big deal. When the cost of adding piles of dependencies is considered nil there's no impetus to avoid them.

I find it to be fairly similar. Most people I know either don't care about VR or bought/borrowed a rig and ended up not using it much. It's typically seen as kinda nice but not nice enough to really bother with.

In terms of interactivity, most see VR as little better than the Kinect – and that didn't exactly take the world by storm, robotics labs excluded.

I think most people are actually happy with their regular screens so it's hard to sell them on something that does more.

The lack of a standard library is really the worst offender. Most of a given node_modules directory is filled with middleware to handle JS's lack of everything.

I dunno. People said the same about 3DTV and that never took off even when more affordable models became available.

I don't think VR/AR has a killer app so far. There are some neat things it can do but nothing that makes people chomp at the bit to get their hands hands on it.

VR gaming is nice but most gamers don't consider it sufficiently better to a regular monitor to buy a VR rig. For screen replacement it gets worse because the constraints are even harder - smaller budgets, weaker host hardware, lower expectations that are already exceeded by traditional screens.

Apple might pull it off but they have one hell of a battle ahead of them.

The problem is that demand will have to be generated first – something HTC, Google, Microsoft, and Meta have failed at so far.

So far it seems that VR/AR is behaving somewhat similarly to 3DTV: Some enthusiasts are really into it and a market exists but most people aren't excited enough to spend any extra money on it. They'll have to find a way around that if they really want mass-market adoption.

And it's matched by .+@.+ as it contains an @.

Remember, we're taking about regular expressions here so .+ means "a sequence of one or more arbitrary characters". It does not imply that an actual dot is present.

(And I overlooked the edit. Oops.)

Legit answer. I like how BATB acknowledged the Silver Age and the weirdness of the DC universe without becoming a complete farce. It poked fun at all of it, yes, but it did afford it some dignity as well.

And the same can be said about its incarnation of Batman.

Given that most non-enthusiasts I know would consider 500 € to be way too expensive for a TV, prices will have to come down a lot for that use case. Especially for families where everyone would need one.

Apple is definitely no contender in that market; their prices would have to go down by 90-95 % to interest the mass market and they're not interested in that kind of thin margin market segment.

Which ones? In RFC 5322 every address contains an addr-spec at some point, which in turn must include an @. RFC 6854 does not seem to change this. Or did I misread something?
