If that promo picture is anything to go by I think we missed out on a "so bad it's good" opportunity

Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

A DMV employee told me they're made of denim and very hard to tear. Is that not true then?

My college dorm was like this. Every bathroom was ungendered. The stalls weren't fully floor to ceiling, but were slightly better than the average public bathroom. 99% of people got over it after a little culture shock at the very beginning (maybe 2-3 days).

There was still one women-only bathroom in my building; I believe it was for a few students who asked for religious consideration. No biggie though for almost every student.

It only led to one embarrassing moment for me: I (a guy) was singing Frank Ocean at the top of my lungs while showering. When I came out of the shower a girl was brushing her teeth and made eye contact with me and kind of snickered/giggled. Racewalked back to my room 💀

you can make it sort the first k elements and it will still be O(1). Set k high enough and it might even be useful

Young and impressionable kids? I started playing the original MW2 when I was 11.

The difference between generating JSON and generating HTML is minimal for the server, doesn't seem to me like server side rendered sites have significantly higher server compute costs. Also generally for SPAs, the server has to replicate whatever flow is happening on the client anyway to keep state in line (since the client can't be trusted)

For a mainstream press article about science, it's pretty good. I do wish they had touched on the failure of recent experiment to verify some of the theoretical particles predicted by the standard model.
