I don't get how you go and get access to something that not many people get to see, and then you edit the photos so much that they look computer generated.

Looking at his portfolio it seems like he his better at photoshop than at taking photos.

I'm with you on this. I can understand controlling the use of phones during class because it's disrespectful for the teachers work, but a complete ban is just dumb and seems like virtue signalling. If this is a problem for you as a parent, you have the choice of not buying your kid the phone in the first place, or not letting him take it to school. I thinks that any rule or law that takes away from the parents the responsibility of educating a child is probably not good for the kid.

Also specially in the US with all the school shootings, banning kids from having phones that allow them to call for help seems like a really bad idea.

From my experience in tech support most of the issues with mouses and keyboards are because of accumulated gunk, specially if you have pets or smoke near the computer. Since they are normally simple devices on the inside you can just remove the screws and clean all the dirt and you won't break anything. I actually just did this 5 minutes ago to my mouse because middle click wasn't working. Found out it was just a bunch of cat hair stuck in the mouse wheel. Other common source of issues is the USB cable, and those can be replaced if you know how to disconnect the contacts from the main board and resolder them.

No idea, but it seems like it's intentionally made so that no matter the orientation of the deck (face up or face down), the first card you see (not counting jokers and ad cards) will always de an ace. The two suits of those aces are just the two most liked suits (ace and hearths).

The curious part is that this order doesn't mean anything for card players, in fact it would probably be better for most games if the decks where printed in random order, but for magicians this order is really important for many effects. For example, if you perfectly shuffle the deck 8 times it will go back to it's original order.

Bit of a nitpicking but the "sort" order is wrong. New decks come ordered Ace of Spades - King of Spades, Ace of Diamonds - King of Diamonds, King of Clubs - Ace of Clubs, King of Hearts - Ace of Hearts. The deck should start and end with Aces, and have two kings next to each other in the middle.

You do know that that video is from the TV COMEDY show Servant of the People, where he plays the role of a Ukrainian president BEFORE he was actually elected president?

Besides the AI being able to interpret the questions, which is the entire point of a language model, isn't this just the same as someone googling the answers to the exam?

Are people really OK with writing code in C# for data presentation? How is it fine having to compile code when you want to change a font colour for example?

And just from looking at the examples you can see how quickly it becomes messy. It looks like something that would work fine for very simple document structures but would get messy really fast once you add any level of complexity. Imagine having to write code for a document with multiple levels of headings, tables and images with captions, parts of text that need emphasis, etc.

From my experience the best solution for generating PDFs in .NET are, as mentioned here before, wkhtmltopdf wrappers. Take a Razor view, add some document properties (page size, margins, headers, footers, etc) in code, and output to a PDF.

I would even argue that on desktop using Office APIs to populate word documents and output them to PDF is more efficient than this.

I'm from your next door neighbour, Portugal. But I think that anyone that studies magic quickly realizes how amazing the Spanish scene is.

To add to this, Juan Tamariz paved the road for other great (and arguably better) spanish magicians to follow him, and it's worth watching them to see how different and amazing Spanish magic is. To name a few check Dani DaOrtiz, Mario Lopez, Rúbi Ferez, and Juan Colas on Youtube and Instagram.

Definitely not many. How many people do you think there are in Europe? 4.6 million EUR would allow you to give 1€ to 1% of the entire EU population.

On the other hand you can say that these VPs are in part responsible for the 2 trillion EUR covid recovery plan, which would allow 100% of the EU population to receive around 4500€.

This needs to be higher. Zuck clearly said that Facebook got a general warning from the FBI regarding the elections, but didn't recall having a specific warning about the Hunter Biden story. Even with Joe Rogan trying to press on the issue (he has been known to be critical of shadow banning) Zuckeberg justified the decisions fairly well, and Joe seemed to agree with him that it was a hard issue and that Facebook handled it the best way possible, and at least better than Twitter.

This is probably an edge case, but I work in lab software that uses chemical symbols and having sub and super characters saves lots of headaches. I can just store "CO₂" in a database, query it, and display it back as a simple string, or display values in scientific notation like 1,3×10³, without having to use any formatting.

But to be honest I'm not sure what the parent comment wants to see added because at the moment having all the letters from A-Z, numbers from 0-9, and plus minus and equals signs as both subscript and superscript seems to be enough.
