I had a project back at U-Mich where we created a stream formatter, and I output two spaces after a period, but only if it was part of a sentence and not between numbers or something.
I am pretty sure those stating "one space!" are just lazy, incompetent, or both.
Adding extra space after the period makes sense typographically. That's why it make sense to put two spaces after a period when typing on a typewriter.
Computers can add the space automatically though. If you look at the spaces after a period in any decent font, it's wider than the spaces after other letters.
COMPUTERS DO NOT DO THIS! How many times do I have to point this out?
They just spit out normal, after-period kerning that's part of the font, whicb amounts to a normal space as if betwrrn words.
The "no two spaces on computers" was stated by ignoranti who did not understand either computers, computer fonts, nor why it was done on typewriters, which still applies on computer screens.
It's kind of sad. This "metadata" is used to build networks of people talking to each other to chase terrorists.
Yet knowing this is also one of the big tools for a dictator. Now the government knows who every politician talks to, and their donors. That is the kind of info the government is specifically not allowed for reasons behind the 4th Amendment.
A G. Gordon Liddy type might be tempted to mercilessly harass members of the network. So, too, modern social network lemmings, when leaked this info.
This should not be. It's ludicrous to think this can't be accessed without a warrant.

So when I go to a funky web site that locks the browser tab because it's hammering APIs in a loop trying to break stuff, that isn't crappy Java design?
I can't sleep more than 30 minutes without waking in pain or having to pee, wake up exhausted, fail at giving myself a limp-willied handbeezy while thinking of some Netflix chick, and arrive late to work and ulcerate at the amount of hours I need to stay to keep up.
This has been the result of the first upgrade to Windows 2.11.
When you've lived and developed long enough, you realize there's a newe

I've been saying this since the crash after 9/11. Cheap borrowing jacks up prices.
Keep in mind the same thing is happening in college education with double-digit cost increases for 20 years. Congress could shut that down overnight by refusing to guarantee any loans to any students at universities that increase costs more than 1.5% a year. And keep it up to drag costs back down.
The biggest problem isn't crime but dictatorship. We should not be giving dictatorships free reasons to force backdoors just so some agents can get brownie points catching crooks. For each crook caught, how many millions continue to live with a boot on their neck?

Everyone is marginalized, as self-appointed snot-noses work to make anybody who posts something feel like an idiot because they couldn't use the arcane embarrassment of an old-school, string-based search function instead of something more modern like Google does.
Don't worry, Microsoft's MSDN is in the same embarrassing position such that it's much faster to Google it then use their built-in search.
But MSDN just makes you rage at their incompetence. It doesn't snap back with responses that you are a failure at life, body and soul.
The Chinese supposedly built a satellite to test using this system to generate uncrackable one-time crypto pads. It's also not interceptable because if someone could listen in, they'd disrupt the measurement and the pads wouldn't match.
You can't control the result of the measurement, just perform the measurement, which forces the related results at both locations at what looks like faster than light.
So government csn go wandering around a public mall during a concert, taking pictures and dna samples of the people as they touch stuff and walk away and building a database of it all?
Here I thought an omnipresent eye in the sky over major cities (where a super high res camera takes a picture of the city every few seconds so they can track vehicles leaving crime scenes after the fact [and whatever else they want] back to its source) was a panopticon terror.

Boring, Uber. I want a drone-style, that's been around since the 70s. Looks kind of like a Jetsons car but with 8 mini turbo props around it.
This folding-wing BS is stupid and requires runways everywhere. Best to just fly up and land.
"That's much better than officers!"
You would still need a physical ticket in case the computers or network go down.
Lugging that extra battery weight around for 100% of the time is much greener than 100% battery 10% of the time.

I wonder if this kind of app-based alternative locator could be applied to taxies to lower costs. Someone should look into this.
It's not called spam because they kept being offered spam. It's called spam because they kept repeating the word spam.
So then they will route all the catalogs to me? Sweet!

Stop building the tools of tyrrany.
