Radiohead—Amnesiac (especially the B-sides) Mr. Bungle—California ミラクルミュージカル—Hawaii: Part II (strongly related to Tally Hall, which is famous for their hit debut Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum) Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE (my preferred recording of this legendary unfinished album for its complete orchestration, but I very much get the argument that it just doesn’t sound right without the Beach Boys’ voices, so I also recommend giving the Dae Lime mix a try for its combination of original and deepfaked vocals)

They teach it in the European History course and schools in the UK teach it. I find it quite plausible that mandatory education does not teach something with no relation to the USA.

i do use arch

is April 2024 software that old?

replacement of core system utilities that aren’t ready for prime time

Could we talk about Unity? I’d wager that these bugs wouldn’t have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn’t adopted sudo-rs. And I’d say “look at where Unity is right now” if they hadn’t switched to GNOME Shell.

there’s regular and then there’s LTS releases for a reason

One of the patches is to prevent the sudo password from being leaked in case of a timeout or sudo being killed. Another patch is to use enum for the feedback parameter. Another patch to ensure feedback is always erased before exiting the read unbuffered code. Another change is also made to not treat backspace as a password character when the password is empty.

that is covered in the history books tho? it’s cited as the biggest fault of the johnson administration, the impetus for the war powers act, an entry point to introducing the topic of counterculture in the textbook (flower power, anti-war, peace sign, Kent State…), and the progenitor of distrust in the government, after all

It has a clear storytelling purpose of having the reader eagerly wait to hear whom it was that he taught (who is this mysterious student?), and conveys the irony that something so seemingly everyday can be so important. In fact, this is the same irony explained in the first paragraph; the sentence reads as if it was the first paragraph with the blanks filled in.

Optimizing every single sentence equally for efficiency makes dull writing, and if that’s what you want, you might want to use a summarizer.

the inclusion of nothing phone in the lineup makes me unsure what op is looking for so i just assumed they was looking for general phone recommendations lol

the xiaomi 17 pro is getting a lot of hype for its display on the back, and this is the company well known for emulating an apple feel quite well on android… and being Chinese

nothing phone: are you aware that the nothing phone 3 got rid of the glyph interface?

i’m surprised that the fediverse manifestation here has not recommended the fairphone yet

It made them showerthink about schools?

there isn’t worse‽

this actually seems like a good pun for a chemistry building

I’m sorry, who the heck made the PRC stars white‽

an example is provided in the PR’s before/after

no, the banner is what you currently see on Lenny above a community’s feed. i changed the post title to hopefully clarify that

to display the banner that moderators want for their community/magazine (i just call it a commag)?

Thanks!

Thing is, the heading says that the reason the child patent is filed is specifically to make its claim still stand even if the parent patent is invalidated. I would expect that Nintendo’s big-suit lawyers have engineered the patent to have minimal overlap with parts that may be invalidated. Child patents are not for amending the original patent’s claims but to file a new ones.

Here are the other reasons the documented said you might want to file a child patent:

1. Response to a violation of the requirement of unity of invention [(the same patent cannot contain multiple inventions)] If an Office Action (OA) is issued due to a violation of the requirements for unity of invention, it may be possible for the applicant to obtain a patent by separating claims which do not satisfy the requirements for unity of invention from the parent application by filling them as divisional applications.

3. Obtaining patents for inventions described only in the specification Patents can also be obtained for inventions that are described only in the specification of the original application, but not described in the claims, by filing one or more divisional applications for the desired inventions.
4. Issuing a warning against competitors by keeping applications pending for an extended period of time The application pendency period can be prolonged by filing divisional applications. This urges competitors to observe the status of the existence of divisional applications. It is effective to put pressure and restrictions on competitors designing their products and so forth.

Thanks, I did miss that one was a child of the rejected patent. That said, child status only means that the patent is based on the parent invention, not that a dependency tree for the patents’ validity. I’ve confirmed that this is true in Japanese law as well after searching it up:

D) Advantage of filing divisional applications 2) Providing a fallback to the parent application Filing divisional applications leaves open the possibility that applicants may obtain a patent granted partially, even though the parent application is ultimately rejected by the JPO.

I would wait for the patents actually used in the lawsuit being invalidated before cheering.

was published… after… Nintendo’s lawsuit began. […] insane bullshit that would piss off a judge, to me.

This is true regardless of whether or not the patents are invalidated.

Reiwa 6 began in 2019

Reiwa is the imperial era beginning in 2019, meaning Reiwa 1 is 2019 and Reiwa 6 is 2024. The name translates to “Fine Harmony”. The more you know!
