Unlike on Reddit, you can still edit the titile. And add a source link.

If human food is comparable, a healthy diet would probably be more expensive

Renumbering characters during font minimization? I haven’t encountered that, it would break searching and copying.

Anyway, PDFs for example don’t even say whether a line of text is left, center or justified – they usually store the coordinates of the first character and then spacing to each subsequent one unless defined by the font.

And what if the document contains text boxes, or other Word objects? Well, the text is separate from the underlying rectangle (if there is one) and it’s up to the conversion tool to guess if it’s part of the main text layer.

Sorry, it’s really hard to edit PDFs. You might want to use Inkscape for editing the graphical parts. If you also need to edit paragraphs, I suggest recreating the document by pasting them into Word/LibreOffice, and importing any graphical shapes as SVGs (use Inkscape for the conversion, then you can try Word’s “Graphic > Convert to Shapes” feature).

Really, every software that outputs PDF should treat it as an export process, hopefully making it clearer that “saving as PDF” is visually lossless but structurally lossy and messy.

At least physics will never get patched. The spark device with zinc spheres will always do that thing.

Too bad his non-populist successor Fiala came during the Covid crisis and a recession, and despite his great effort to tackle both we’re likely to see a “Trump-Biden-Trump” situation in this year’s parliamentary elections.

Earlier this year, a train also derailed near Bečva and hundreds of tons of benzene were spilled or burned. It is the biggest benzene disaster to date, and will take an ungodly amount of effort to clean up.

I travelled with DB to enjoy the 2022 9-€ Ticket. The cross-border train ČD drove into Germany got stopped in the first city and got cancelled because it “didn’t meet standards”. I mean, it was missing a car, there was no AC, it was super loud and crowded, but it was a train and went on time. DB’s replacement was literally nothing so I was stuck waiting in Schwandorf for an hour. This happens dozens of times every year.

Meanwhile, my trip last year was an orderly experience, probably because I went through former East Germany via Dresden instead. Communists did a lot of bad shit but they understood the power of trains (and streetcars).

Ngl, this is so clever

Poor deaf kids. Not because they’re being held captive but because they’re relying on shitty automatic captions.
For example, Czech was only added very recently and the captions really suck, they change the meaning of most sentences and even include spelling errors.

Everyone making scripted videos should at least:

1. go through their script to convert it into a transcript (match what’s actually been said – looking at you CGP Grey – and remove visual cues)
2. upload it for YouTube’s auto-timing (which is not perfect but we’ll take it)

Too bad the FCC’s captioning act is toothless, even TV stations (like HBO) uploading their content to YouTube don’t bother importing captions even though they’re legally required to.

My grandma was a disabled stay-at-home mom with a hyperactive daughter who tended to run away and wreak havoc, and all the police would soon know who to return her to. Grandma was scolded by neighbors for using a leash but able to explain herself. This was in 1970s Czechoslovakia.
