They intentionally made the menu longer to look worse by selecting some text first. So it is showing four sets of contextual actions: For the Link, the Image, the Selection, and the Page.

Also a few of the menu items are new since the latest ESR (the AI stuff in particular), so you won't see them if you are running v140.


That statement by itself wouldn't warrant an article, and it would be difficult to include a statement like that in a larger article about the event, without implying more than that.

It isn't just Dr Pizza. In recent history (perhaps since being bought by Conde Nast?), when staff left, stories from them simply stopped appearing, and questions about whether they had left or were on a break were met with crickets. The only conformation came when the bio was changed and/or they announced they were hiring or had hired the person replacing them.

At least that is what I remember with Sam Machkovech, Ron Amadeo, Cyrus Farivar, Joe Mullin, Andrew Cunningham, Casey Johnston, Jaqui Cheng. And the policy doesn't appear to be limited to people leaving on bad terms since Andrew has since returned, and Cyrus occasionally contributes freelance articles. The last time I remember them announcing a departing staff member is when Ben Kuchera left.


A while back I was using OsmAnd on a ~700 mile route, and it was taking over 10 minutes despite most of the route ending up being on a single highway. I tried that same route just now and it took 7 seconds. Such a great improvement!

Do any feel-like estimates take cloud cover into consideration? It doesn't seem like it, but in a high altitude desert like NM, it is a huge factor. Furthermore, the magnitude of the effect varies depending on the day of year and time of day (how much atmosphere the sun passes through), so you can't just mentally add 10 degrees or something. And it isn't just based on the immediate conditions - if it has been cloudy all morning it will feel cooler even after the sun comes out then it will if the ground has been baking in the sun all morning. Some of that is accounted for by the air temperature (conductive heating of the air by the ground), but there is also a radiative heating effect as well. I would love an app that tried to incorporate those factors into it's "feels-like" estimate.

> Do any feel-like estimates take cloud cover into consideration?

No, usually not, because they're usually just simple toys combining a heat index and wind chill scale.

There _is_ an official metric used for estimating heat stress that accounts for cloud cover - the Wet-bulb Globe Temperature (e.g. https://www.weather.gov/tsa/wbgt). This is what is used, for instance, in literature analyzing the impact that future climate change might have on heat stress and mortality risk during heat waves. It's also used by some professional sports programs to monitor risk for crowds and athletes, as well as commonly used by OSHA and other regulatory agencies looking at worker exposure to heat hazards.


Copyright infringement is a strict liability tort in the US. Willful infringement can result in harsher penalties, but being mistaken about the copyright status is not a valid defense.


I don't know if you're trying to say that, in the realm of tort law, it is only strict liability, or if you are saying that copyright infringement is only a tort. If it's the latter, it's completely untrue, as there are criminal copyright infringement statutes.


The BBC spent 5 years making a documentary and just finished. They had no idea that the US would in its current state when they started. That doesn't free them from criticism of the content, but the timing is a coincidence.

I haven't watched the video (linked from the article) and I certainly hope the current events caused them to reflect on whether pushing for DHS to have more power is wise, but the last line in the article doesn't give me much optimism.


Although the past couple of years have been an even more stark descent into incompetence and malice, there has not been a moment in DHS's 24-year history at which it was worth defending, let alone with this pattern of propaganda.

It is perfectly possible to investigate and prevent child abuse without this particular configuration.


It is an animated gif. You used to be able to just press escape to pause them, but Firefox and Chrome have both removed that behavior. Instead you can install a plugin, or in Firefox you can set `image.animation_mode` to:

`once` - play once on load then stop.

`none` - do not play on load

`normal` - loop forever if the gif says to

With the popularity of animated "emoji" on some forums these days, I couldn't function without some way to globally disable animated gifs.


Nice. Even when I like to read comments on a blog, I prefer them to be collapsed by default, so that the scrollbar is an accurate depiction of progress through the article.


Just because something is distributed over a spectrum and not clumped into clean distinct boxes doesn't decrease the utility of discussing the properties of different areas of the spectrum.


There aren't "different areas of the spectrum". There are plenty of humans less trustworthy than LLMs in various contexts.
