Magazine icon ratios

Why is is that magazine icons are only displayed in the ratio of 6:5? Anything outside of that ratio gets awkwardly cropped out.

A Delaware city is set to give corporations the right to vote in elections

    Sounds about right for Delaware. There's literally more corporations registered there than people.

  • A while ago on Reddit I remember reading about Prolog, and the fact that it "made writing interpreters so easy it was banned in competitions." Is there such a thing as an interpreter or compiler writing competition?

    One single hard-coded uneditable slur words list... really?!
  • TheTedJamesExperiment TheTedJamesExperiment 1y ago 88%

    From Software games have filters for player names and it often leads to stuff like this. Thus if you put "knight" in your character's name, a common thing that people do given that they're medieval fantasy games, it appears as "k***ht." Likewise "dead" becomes "d***" and "Thomas" becomes "T**mas." Even more embarrassingly, the filter is case sensitive and all the filtered words are lowercase, so you could name your character a slur and it would be fine as long as you capitalize the first letter.

  • Writing a conlang grammar is pretty hard, especially so for analytic and isolating languages. Most natural language grammars seem to be based off the classical grammars of Ancient Greek and Latin, 2 languages with a lot of complex morphology; something that isolating languages obviously lack. So what does one do about that then? Should I even bother having a morphology chapter? My current plan is to just take everything that would be in a morphology chapter (how to express pluralization on nouns, TAM for verbs, etc.) and put it in syntax, but I feel like there's got to be a better way than this.

    For some reason a lot of "anarchists" seemed to love this guy even though he was a virulent anti-leftist and homophobe. Rest in piss bozo, I'll be smoking on that primitivist pack tonight.
