The typography and design inside the book is beautiful but the cover looks like an old bargain-store flyer. There's an expression about that, something about judging a book by its cover? I can't remember exactly.
Which dog bite statistics are you referring to? I would be interested to see data that contradicts these findings:
---
Characteristics of 1616 Consecutive Dog Bite Injuries at a Single Institution
> Pit bull bites were implicated in half of all surgeries performed and over 2.5 times as likely to bite in multiple anatomic locations as compared to other breeds.
> family dogs represent a more significant threat than often is realized and that, among the breeds identified, pit bulls are proportionally linked with more severe bite injuries
Morbidity of pediatric dog bites: a case series at a level one pediatric trauma center
> Pediatric dog bites span a wide range of ages, frequently require operative intervention, and can cause severe morbidity. Dog familiarity did not confer safety, and in this series, Pit bulls were most frequently responsible.
The ban isn't meaningfully enforced in much of the province [1], I see them a lot. I used to live in Ottawa, and their official site directly states "The City of Ottawa does not enforce the provincial ban on pit bulls" [2]. For those (legitimately) interested in a Canadian perspective on breed-specific legislation, there's a documentary by CBC's Fifth Estate on the subject [3].
Yep, that's why my dog still got attacked by one in Toronto. It's poorly enforced. The dog sprinted across an entire field without making a sound and pinned my dog hard by the throat.
Ontario also tried to remove the pitbull ban, after the usual "it's owners the owners" protests, but a bunch of attacks happened again so they reinstated it.
"Should", maybe, but I've seen a pretty disturbing video where a pit bull took a lot more than one hit... it was multiple minutes of hits. And it only let go after it died, I've never seen anything like it.
Beautiful, this must have been an excellent learning experience to make.
I've done some very basic rendering code in C from a rendering internals course, and at the same time I'm learning about perspective from the drawing/art side. I wonder how much learning one would help the other, in a practical way.
I see, it looks like he's the one behind ThreeJS. Well, he had to make ThreeJS before he could make this, and that must have been a learning experience, right? :D
There's an element of competitiveness, too. I worked in a hotel, mostly with women. My supervisor, a woman in her 60s, praised me and the other male workers, saying that the women were jealous, rivalrous, and always fighting amongst each other. "Men are easy!"
Meanwhile, I had no problem working with any of the women (although it's true, they were cruel among themselves), but when I had to interact with men in other departments, it felt like some macho standoff. It's like when you go to shake a guy's hand, and he pulls your arm and crushes your hand, but baked into every interaction.
I've always hated trackpads, they always made my fingers extremely sore and I didn't find they worked well. Someone told me "you're just not used to it", like I hadn't been already trying for 20 years!
The Mac trackpad, however, is wonderful. I enjoy using it.
Seen a doc about this before also. Some Japanese towns are super rural and may be many kilometers from typical supermarkets. Many don't even have the famous convenience stores. Trains may only run once an hour as well, if that.
So these mobile supermarkets are as convenient as it gets.
