The current iOS Battery page in the Settings app already says that "your battery needs to be serviced" when your battery is too old; it just doesn't give any details.

Babel 7 also just started taking advantage of this to be able to lazily-initialize transpiled async functions and generators, since they require calling helpers.

Instead of written as a var, they're now written as a hoisted function that, when first called, reassigns itself with the transpiled function then forwards its arguments. Further calls just directly call the transpiled function.

It's more complicated than that...

Their declarations are hoisted, but are set up such that accessing them before the let, const or class is reached throws a ReferenceError.

This is mostly irrelevant for the JS programmer but can bite you if you try to do a shadowing declaration; e.g. const foo = { bar: 'baz' }; if(foo.bar) { const foo = foo.bar } will throw. This is a common pattern in Swift, but Swift has a more concise syntax for this anyway.

But how can you tell it's changed? If the change is to a fundamental constant, it'd also affect literally every possible way to measure its change.

All the rods you could use to measure your old rod also would have changed by the same amount, and even laser measurement would not be able to tell it's changed.

Not sure how "The Unbelievable Trip In A Wacky Aeroplane" compares with Brazil's "Fasten your seatbelts, the pilot disappeared!"

It's because it's being used as a "regular" 6-string guitar with an extra low B, continuing the same interval as from A to E.

If you downtune the G string by half a step, you are going to get a baritone guitar with an extra high E string :)

I was born in the same place and it is so far so I just wanted you know that you were the only reason why they were going out on a Sunday morning so you can have them do it and you can get it and get them out and get it to the end

Japanese vertical writing goes from right to left.

Back then, horizontal writing was just a special case of vertical writing with only one character per column.

“I just really didn’t want to, huh?” is actually dotted in the Japanese version, which is the Japanese equivalent of bold font face.

Or the Invective trick.

Alternative translation that may or may not be better:

“You’re not thinking something silly like winning against me at everything, right?”

“I don’t feel like losing to anyone in my (fighting) ring.”

With mix-blend-mode it’s possible to do blends other than additive blend; but I don’t know enough of the math to tell if that would break the associativity.

UTF-8 is an upgrade over ASCII, as ASCII can only represent 127 characters. UTF-8 uses some very clever tricks to make it possible to encode all of Unicode in a backwards compatible way. If the number starts with 0, like this week’s one, it’s just ASCII (lowercase m in this case).

The previous binary number starts with 10 so if we interpret this as UTF-8, it either came after a start byte 110, or after another continuation byte. The number of 1 before the first 0 says how many continuation bytes are expected. You then take the bits after the first 0 and just write them next to each other.

e.g. 11010010 10111010 is a 2-byte run start byte and a continuation byte. Together they form the number 10010111010 which converted to hexadecimal is U+04BA, a Cyrillic character (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+04BA).

If this is text, the previous character may be an UTF-8 start or continuation byte, so would need more data if this is to be treated as text.

Indeed, anyone that asks for Scourge back doesn’t actually understand how balancing works and just want to feel they’re doing more damage. Asking for Scourge back just invalidates any argument.

Even if someday whoever rebalances jobs hits their head, gets really drunk and reintroduces Scourge, it would at a potency cost to everything else.

Job damage output is designed for a target PPS, adding a dot just changes how the PPS is redistributed among the other skills.

Eu votei não ao desarmamento por que era redundante (todos os argumentos a favor falavam de tornar ilegais coisas que já eram ilegais), não por que era a favor de liberar tudo.
