Hover the top nav. Under "CI Runners" it's says:

macOS Runners Apple Silicon and Intel support


fixed it - sorry about that.

Here's an alternate write up: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/02/science/sparrow-bird-song...

It even has audio clips of the two melodies.


A 2x4 is cut to 2" by 4" wet and shrinks when it is dried. I'm no huge fan, but this is not an issue with the imperial system.


Uh, no. The final 2x4 product is milled mostly dry. Mills allow the timber to air dry, then mill, then post-kiln, and may mill the final product after that e.g. by cutting 2x4s out of a 12x4. The reduction of a 2x4 from 2x4" to 1.75x3.5" is done on purpose, because modern mills can put guarantees on the density of knots in the wood, thus requiring less wood for the same engineered strength guarantee. So the 2x4" product is not actually 2x4 because the mill is asserting that while there is less wood than just cutting a 2x4, the board they're selling is as strong as a 2x4 would have been at the turn of the 20th century, when they didn't have a way to guarantee the density of knots.


Here is a working link that contains all the the info parent cites:

Also, this is the _actual_ audience not their _target_ audience.


How do you know it's not also the target audience?


I wager their print edition subscriber base is considerably wealthier.


It's true that it indicates quality, but I suspect it also indicates the exceptional wealth of WSJ's readership.


In case you're curious, this is often called rubber-hose cryptanalysis:

In Russia, if you are curious this is often called rectal high temperature cryptanalysis. There is manual.

Maybe a bit off topic but reading this brought me back to the early nineties when I first got a copy of SimAnt. The instruction manual was filled with information about ants. I remember staying up all night reading about these amazing creatures!


Actually, looks like you could leave pinging on and Heroku will just force "exhausted" free dynos to sleep after 18 hours:

"During the beta period you’ll only get an informational email. In the future, we will force exhausted apps to sleep until they have been idle for at least six hours of the past twenty-four hours." -https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dyno-types#dyno-sleepi...


> the cant-shout-fire-in-a-crowded-theater chestnut.

Shouting fire in a crowded theater has been protected speech since 1969:

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/11/its-time....

> In 1969, the Supreme Court's decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio effectively overturned Schenck and any authority the case still carried. There, the Court held that inflammatory speech--and even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan--is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action"


I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Shouting fire in a crowded theatre isn't "inflammatory speech" as it's used in Brandenburg (although it may be inflammatory in another sense). So while the case referencing "fire in a crowded theatre" has itself been overturned, that's not the same as saying you can now literally shout fire in a crowded theatre. At the very least, you'd be liable for negligence.
