JavaScript got better while I wasn’t looking
IndustrialRobot has generously donated in order to inquire: In the last few years there seems to have been a lot of activity with adding emojis to Unicode. Has there been an equal effort to add ‘real’ languages/glyph systems/etc? And as always, if you don’t have anything to say on that topic, feel free to choose your own. :p Yes. I mean, each release of Unicode lists major new a

Every major party presidential nominee since Nixon had voluntarily released their tax returns
— Trump was the exception, not the rule,
and the “harm” he suffered was exposure to the same transparency his predecessors embraced without incident.
The original piece laid out why the whole thing was a scam:
Trump is the plaintiff,
the IRS and Treasury are the defendants,
and the DOJ defending those defendants is stocked with Trump’s former personal attorneys

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …

Hong Kong’s national security law has already crushed the territory’s once-vibrant civic and political life.
But now the city’s hard-line authorities are making the law even more repressive for anyone caught in its net.

Under updates which took effect this week,
the city’s chief executive can classify any case as a national security crime under the 2020 law,
even when the alleged offense was committed before that law took effect.

For good reasons, people cann…

Donald Trump is “inventing fraud”

and likely to ramp up unfounded allegations when more races go against him,
pro-democracy experts have warned.
While the felon-president has used this playbook for years

– election integrity campaigners fear this time could be different.
