I would love to have an embedable matrix chat room (that can point to an arbitrary public room) that works as twitch live chat equivalent. That would be amazing.
I’m sincerely sorry. I didn’t realize that the mere mention of gender and ethnic discrimination being a problem in general was all that controversial. I was hoping to be a source of encouragement for OP, but seeing how people responded I understand and appreciate you stepping in. I know keeping a community civil is an important and difficult task, so thanks for all you do dang :)
Looks wonky but I would have preferred to drive one of these. Those two cameras would have been super helpful, plus that blind spot warning for the left side. Those will make a big difference.

Also, these have air conditioning!! What a luxury! The previous ones did not have that. Just a sad little fan that barely did anything.

Postal workers don't care what the vehicles look like, they want practical safety features that help them do their jobs.
What exactly is your alternative in that position? Browsers based on NetSurf? Because if you're strictly anti-censorship, I've got bad news about WebKit, Blink, Gecko and others...
> However, if someone were to ask "What do you mean by 'exploitation'? Doesn't that mean x,y,z?" then the user of the term as technical language should be able to reply "No, I mean p,q,r. We call it 'exploitation' in the field because of a,b. You shouldn't confuse it for having properties implied by x,y,z."

We desperately need more of that. The problem comes when someone reads an academic who means p,q,r, and repeats what they said to non-academics, and then they have a discussion where (almost) everybody thinks the academic meant x,y,z, and therefore everyone concludes that the academic is totally divorced from reality.

I don't know what to do about it. We don't want to make academics less accessible to the public, and demand that the public take it on faith that the academics know what they're talking about, and the ordinary public shouldn't worry their limited heads about such things. We also don't want to force the academics to use non-academic language in their academic work. And we can't expect the general public to put in a month or a decade to learn all the nuances of the academic definitions.

The only thing I can see that could work is translators - people who can explain (a simplified form of) what the academics are saying, in language that ordinary people use, pointing out along the way that the academics mean p,q,r and not x,y,z. People that can do that well are, I think, rare. It might help to have more of them - but how do we make that happen?
Firm, Fixed Price (ffp) contracts can be utilized with incentives after delivery based on metrics like tail availability, maintenance issues, flight hour cost, effectiveness, etc. Most big contracts are really a hybrid, though an existing contractor always tries for a cost plus. It's literally taught in PM classes.

I was NOT directly involved in F-35, so I can't speak to the exact amount of sleaze that occurred with the prime contractor.

I'd love to see a real competition! (new contractors, new ideas, new teams, new airframe ideas). And two engines, yeesh.

Anyways, cost plus is great at moving risk to the government. FFP is at the other end of the spectrum, moving all risk to the contractor.

This is a cop-out. Especially when it's the government (notoriously hard to sue) selling. "You couldn't normally sell this stuff to consumers" gets sold on govdeals and ironplanet all the time.

Additionally, the LLVs likely meet applicable NHTSA regulations and FMVSSs for the year they were made and their class of vehicle.

There have been a few LLVs that have been seen with nctech mapping units. [0]

The saddest thing about all of this IMO is they have been working on this for 14 years, and how much money was spent/wasted?

If you're a defense contractor, none of it. If you're a tax-payer, all of it...
Lehman was indeed allowed to fail, and the crisis that its failure caused was sufficient to ensure that no government would be stupid enough to try that experiment another time. Of course, this is all theorising, but the general thinking in financial circles is that the government had to step in with monster bailouts to restore confidence precisely because Lehman was allowed to fail.
Why does a company need a licence from the FAA to perform re-entry? The FAA doesn't regulate all of the earth's outer atmosphere, right?

Umm...realized that I phrased that last sentence pretty poorly. But you know what I mean.
Hmm, so you made all those comments in favor of mojolicious without actually knowing about it? Now I know for sure how credible you are.
I did this over 5 years ago (Fujitsu fi-5110EOX w/Acrobat 6.0 Standard running on WinXP). It been a complete success, but we've also been a victim of it's success: I read about all the cool new features of the newer Scansnaps and am very jealous (chiefly because either automatic OCR + indexing isn't part of the setup we have, or I'm too dumb to have figured out how to enable it). This one feature is ALMOST enough to get me to buy a new Scansnap, but (a) the old one works just as good as it ever did, and our "filing system", such as it is, is "good enough" (to let us retrieve needed docs), and (b) new or old, these devices aren't cheap (and I'm not clear how much benefit automatic OCR + indexing would be). Anyway, it seems it should be a software only feature; if only I could use the old scanner with newer software... but I investigated a year ago and my scanner is in the "obsolete" category as far as the vendor is concerned (sigh; is there any open source software that can interface to any of the Scansnap scanners?). Also when I read the swooning reviews of the new Scansnaps, it seems the platform is usually Mac, which I have no plans to move to (are all the coolest features also present on the Windows version?). And yes, shredders have been far less reliable than the scanner: we must have gone thru at least 4 so far...
Agreed. There's got to be a happy medium between failures on this end of the spectrum and failures on the other. GIMP? Really?
http://pygame.org also has a pygame subset for android which includes a port of cpython. Not all modules are included though. Some python packages are missing, and some pygame modules are not included too. However it works well enough for most games.

Just create a directory called pygame on your sd card and put your code in there. No need to mess around with setting up java.
I think you're conflating two ideas.

First, inflation internal to the US manifests itself, often enough, as higher prices.

Second, the reason this is good for exports is because it usually also takes less of the foreign currency to purchase our goods.
Here's a good public domain implementation of some fast median algorithms, in C.

http://ndevilla.free.fr/median/median/index.html

I've used these codes on some very large datasets, and they work very well.
Reading through the comments, I found that some HNers suggest that a weaker currency will boost exports. But I have a question that is looping in my mind: If currency weakness is due to inflation, won't the product price inflates? If I have a product that is worth $100 and tomorrow there is a USD inflation of 10%, won't the product be worth $110?
I wonder what the rate of return on something like this is. I don't know about anyone else, but I NEVER click on, yet alone but from people spamming links in comment threads. Do you?
Harmony's new for in construct implicitly introduces a fresh let binding per iteration, yes, but it doesn't fundamentally change the language semantics with regard to the kind of example Eich mentions. So while one can, in Harmony, write code that behaves in the way that people like Andrej Bauer expect, it doesn't mean that the language's closure semantics have suddenly changed.

It's also hard for me to see how one could have a 'definitive' semantics without having at least one alternative—not that I claimed that either JS's closure semantics were the only ones going. Presumably the alternative you mean is where the variables present in the local environment are copied on creation of a closure.

I'd also resist the idea that I claimed that JavaScript's closure semantics were in some way definitive, although I can see how one might infer that from what I did write. That being said, given the potential problems with the alternative, I would claim that they're a reasonable choice.
What he fails to mention is that a lot of his salary statistics are self-supporting. If you have a doctorate than your primary source of employment is the education system. So it feeds back onto itself. You have people paying outrageous fees to get doctorates and then going to work for universities where they require the universities to charge even more outrageous fee to pay them.

If people stop paying those fees then the salaries collapse.

They're offering you the comp of someone who just graduated, they may not realize that though.
That is the assumption that lean to divert the focus to something else, like for example, math (A lot of "intros" to programing are really math with computer).

I have a FAR different education. I start with Fox 2.6 (DOS) and Acces. At the end of the semester, We have a FULL done application with: Menus, Forms, Small procedures, database, Reports, with colors and very crude idea of custom controls. From the side of Acces, we get the idea of how a Windows application was done.

This was NOT the university. The university teaching was so useless in comparasion (I was the one to teach the OO classes, because the teacher don't have a clue about it. And that was the 2d semester).

Then the instrucction of algos was terrible. And so on.

----
Rant objective?

Good, focused, NOT DIVERTED, teaching is far better than the core language. I have done some teach, and know dozen languages.. I believe python/pascal are far better to start - and probably pascal, if we want a C-like understanding without the badage of slow tools, weird syntax and crazines of the C family, but well, that my thing- and don't see why it could be problematic to teach any of the fundamental concepts of programing.

The key thing, apart of the quality of the teaching, is the focus. I think if the goal is teach "programming" in the general sense, python/pascal are the better. C, C++, Haskell, Java requiere a lot of divertion of the attention (setup and take care of a project, do make files, wait... wait...wait, "monads"?, etc).

In contrast, if the teach is learn how "a computer works" so C/C++/Pascal/ADA could be great. Again, is the focus.
So, the preferred "getting started" of just reading the README on the repo seems to be working out quite well, actually. Looking forward to having fun with this.
Possibly, although I have never been given a WPS enabled device from an ISP, nor have any of my family ( have to love being tech support ). Come to think of it though I have seen routers in the past with what can only be randomly generated passphrases though, which is a step in the right direction at least. My current router was not one of those though.

This post just shows that you have never let out any real estate. Let me tell you, it's not as simple as this.

It's not just the 50$ or whatever to put up one online ad. You need to advertise on several websites plus offline. You need to show around various candidates, and do background checks on the serious ones. You have to transfer utilities, deal with mail, and other assorted tasks when somebody moves in. All of this for (in terms of yield) slim margins. And assuming that nothing is damaged or needs fixing up after somebody moves out.

Now, for commercial space it gets worse. When they go out of business, it's highly unlikely that you will recover the owed rent - likely several (2-3) months. Commercial real estate is vacant for longer, and having a tenant 'in between' basically 'resets' the cycle of getting a new tenant. (businesses take a few weeks to months before deciding, residential is usually faster, i.e. faster turnover)

Also, businesses usually make changes when they move in, not always for the better (network rewiring, dividing space etc for offices - for storefront it's much worse still). If they go bankrupt, you as the owner are stuck with the cost of repairing. The deposit (a paltry 2 or 3 months rent) is usually not sufficient.

Again, all of this is assuming that there are no 'real' troubles - no lawyers involved, no 'real' renovations needed after they move out, ... Just the cost of getting somebody to dispose of an abandoned office full of furniture costs a month rent, because second-hand office furniture isn't worth anything!

For me, I don't bother with terms of < 6 months for rentals, not even for a 100% premium (residential that is, I don't do commercial). And 1-year leases I only take as a 'probation' period, if it's clear from the beginning that they have no or little intention on staying longer, I won't accept such a candidate. Financially it just doesn't make any sense, and I'm not even counting the stress and the hassle.
The Coast Guard won't like it if they can't board and inspect the ship.

Have you seen a container ship? The containers are stacked out in the open. There's no need to have a door because there aren't any walls in the way.

Cut the antennas, block the GPS signal, and what's the ship supposed to do besides stop?
That's not what's going on here.

The Washington Post is making an appeal from authority based on the headline alone. The WP readership is going to understand that as "Person I look up to says something I might agree with". No one can pretend that away.

Then, the argument itself isn't anything particularly deep - and of course it isn't. Cook doesn't have the credentials to add anything meaningful to the discussion.

This is how we operate in our B2B. Talk to forty potential clients and find the problems at least several of them have in common. Then reduce the list of problems to the ones in your domain, that require relatively little customisation per client, etc.

I make it sound very simple; in reality you end up customising for each client, getting bogged down in maintenance, fielding feature requests that the rest of the client base won't require, etc. Running a business, in other words!

https://vitamin-d-covid.shotwell.ca/

If your goal is to prove that Vitamin D isn't some miracle cure for COVID-19, well good job. It isn't. If you are trying to show that there isn't a decent amount of quality science supporting Vitamin D as a beneficial supplement to reduce the negative outcomes of the disease then you have a LOT more work to do than is done in this BBC article.

There is no need for anyone to lie about the results of published science one way or the other.
> I hear AirPods work great outside of Apple's ecosystem, too.

I worked as a "technical expert" at apple during school (recently), and I can say this is not exactly true. The biggest problems with airpods were invariably customers trying to use them with non-Apple devices. As far as I understand, airpods are unable to update their own firmware without being paired to an Apple device. Pairing was also much, much more difficult with airpods than standard bluetooth headsets.

I do know that FORTRAN is considered the fastest scientific computing language; beating out C++.

I'm told that is because the standard libraries are so optimized.

Also, there is a gigantic infrastructure of literature, algorithms and support for the language. It is also relatively easy for folks that don't code for a living to use.

I wouldn't know, from experience. The last time I had anything to do with FORTRAN was in 1987, and I don't miss it one bit.

ICQ came out in 1996, AIM in 1997, and MSN in 1999. I don't think it's fair to give the people working on this a pass by saying this is a new problem - working products have been shipping for over 20 years. Some of the devs working on Signal and Matrix were probably born after ICQ was released.

The reality is that all of these systems, including email, tend towards becoming walled gardens. Otherwise you end up with the same problem that email has which is that a huge percentage of it is spam. At this point email is basically a few connected walled gardens from the major providers. Before that the amount of spam was even larger.
I formatted

{ foo = 3, bar = 4, baz = 5, verylongproperty = 6, dunnoneedsmoremore = 7, howmanytoforcealinebreak = 8 }

And it forces the comma at the beginning of the line, Haskell-style:

{ foo = 3
, bar = 4
, baz = 5
, verylongproperty = 6
, dunnoneedsmoremore = 7
, howmanytoforcealinebreak = 8
}
We used to have that system on top of gold but we killed it a bit over 40 years ago. It was called the gold standard and most of the world ran on it.

We need a version of it where the powers can't just say screw it, let's can it and make a bunch of new money out of thin air and you're all forced to accept it and use it.
> Matrix seems to want to be an IRC replacement rather than a one-to-one / small-group chat app

I don't know where you get that impression.

Matrix / Element works great for 1-1 and small group chats, the general UX issues aside.
No. Every human likely encounters date sorting at some point. And feet and inches aren’t really any more human or natural than 4x5x2 dm or 40x50x20cm. Dividing by 10 isn’t more human either, but adding/removing zeroes or moving a decimal point is certainly easier for the human brain.
Isn't the fact neither XMPP nor IRC are e2e-encrypted a factor in them catching on?

Nobody wants to use a messenger that's public, or that with a single centralised compromise/hack could make all their messages become so.

To me that disqualifies them as even being potential solutions to the problem.

Matrix has significant usability issues in its currently-available form(s) - but it at least meets the most basic of requirements that user messages are private, and does so fundamentally.
Not long, perhaps 2h for the core and then some cleanup over a few hours as I cogit about it? This was my submission back in 2014 https://github.com/aybabtme/crawler/commits/master
I'm no Reddit historian, but I would agree and if I was any good at data science do some analysis to support it - looking at the usage, sentiment and of the word redditor against the growth of the platform (specifically the rise of the supermods, political subreddits and other people's analysis of bot accounts).

There used to be this idea that no matter what subreddit you were in, ultimately everyone was a redditor and had shared identity at some basic level - often self-deprecating sense of apart-ness from the mainstream. This community gave rise to the platform-wide schemes like the Christmas presents.

I rarely see the word redditor any more. To me that suggests that the shared identity is dead and if that's how you define a community, then Reddit is dead too. (Anecdotally I even saw a comment from someone saying that it's a stupid word in response to another comment just recently.)

Here's the poor man's version looking at worldwide Google Trends, from Reddit's launch to today. It's hard to read too much into it, but clearly interest in redditor has in no way kept pace with interest in reddit. And interest in redditor appears to be at a low point in late 2017 - the end of the sense of community? Major investment and value growth happened around this time, with staff numbers doubling and a major push on advertising. It took 10 years to recover the interest level high (2011-2021), during that same time there was an enormous growth of users.

There's plenty of clones that work perfectly fine, comments like this come across as Stockholm syndrome. If a sub made a half-assed collective decision to move it would be simple to do so. If all the mods left for greener pastures it would become a wasteland within weeks.

> So just because the author of this piece can deal with trauma doesn't mean that all people could deal with trauma the same way.

There are standard treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder, and all of them are focused on strengthening the individual's ability to cope with symptoms. Altering their environment to avoid the occurrence of symptoms is not a valid treatment. In fact, its considered a symptom of PTSD (and several other mental health issues) which has its own specific treatment called exposure therapy. This treatment exposes the patient to what triggers anxiety and stress in a controlled fashion.

You, and many trauma activists, take a different view of the mental health profession on the nature and treatment of trauma that seems to reflect political and social goals of the movement rather than the well-being of the victims. As much as I agree with those goals, I have ethical problems with exploiting victims of trauma for political ends.
