"The tool is targeting regulations that are no longer required by law..."

seems reasonable - I wonder if a similar approach could identify laws no longer required by reality, laws/regulations that have no or negative effects, and/or laws/regs that are obsoleted by more recent laws/regs/rulings.

a poorly-written and ill-designed pseudo-study for no apparent reason other than having "unsafe sax" in the title

the hypothetical culprit is a technique called circular breathing, but no evidence was presented that the musicians studied even used the technique, which is only required for playing very long legato passages without stopping to breathe

'Principal' developer at my last place spent 100 consecutive days grinding leetcode. Shortly after had an interview where they made him do a leetcode test live and he failed it.

The whole thing is broken.

"recall" seems a bit dramatic for a software update?

good examples of the notion of 'instructed motion' as a separable design element, and how this drives players' emotions
