Will it render &em; as &en; ?

Why would it to that? -, –, and — are all different things.

designated initializers are really great and it's really annoying that C++ has such a crappy version of them. I wish there was a way to tell the compiler that the default value of some fields should not necessarily be 0, though it's ergonomic enough to do that anyway with a macro, since repeated values override.

i.e.

  struct foo { int a; struct { float b; const char * c } d; }; 
  #define DEFAULT_FOO  .a = 1 .d = { .b = 2.0f, .c = "hello" }
 
  ...
  struct foo bar = { DEFAULT_FOO, .a = 2 }

I thought it would be about APL

This is admittedly quite niche (as I work on a balloon experiment) but I really appreciate how the nullschool map shows the 10 mbar level (5-7 would be even better if course)

Anecdotal but pre check was open on my flight rno to ord this morning...

Not again! (Is it under your bum?)

Yeah the problem is we understood AI reporter as reporting on AI not by AI.

At least it's better than when the moon nearly caused nuclear apocalypse https://blog.ucs.org/david-wright/the-moon-and-nuclear-war-9...

I had a pirated version on a zip drive

people wax poetic about betamax and laserdisk but never heard anyone mention zip drive, in a good or bad way, lol

Before cd-rs, it felt like magic. Like a floppy but 100 times bigger!

I was the kid with the backpack Zip drive and Zip disks, like a weird Santa Claus of game piracy. Duke3d, Descent, Quake, you name it. All of it was in service of modem dueling each other. Wild times!

It was magical for about 2 years, then USB drives came along and made it look quaint.

IOMagic Zip Drive?

During the ICE surge in Chicago drone traffic was banned for a while but this is obviously much more extreme if for a similar reason. Note that at least on some roads out (I'm most familiar with the road to Carlsbad from El Paso since I used to have to travel there in grad school, often from ELP) there are already CBP checkpoints.

El Paso is in a very Red state, ICE involvement is minimal there.
