"1366 x 768 resolution"

This is where Thinkpad has gone wrong. Business machines should have 3:4 screens. Currently posting from a 5 year old Thinkpad X40, which sports a 1040x768 3:4 display. It's insane that 5 years later the ultra portables are still crippled by that terrible vertical resolution.

They say that they couldn't use them, because no one makes 3:4 displays anymore. Apple and the iPad would beg to differ. Where there's a will there's a way.
One of these has already saved a person. Shall we keep score?
I'm convinced that you could make, say, an educational chemistry game where the point was to actually solve problems with chemistry.

See what you think about this. I know the developer.

I think it's impossible to have deduplication (a system to prevent duplication) in encrypted data with different key for each user (the same file from different user will be encrypted differently) without dropbox storing the key (to decrypt back). Which means they have access to the files. We should know this from the very beginning. If it wasn't, how to check the files for deduplication? Enlighten me please.
Ah, you're right. Thank you for the correction, I had conflated the two, probably because I hear them both maligned often, or maybe I read another incorrect statement some time ago.

Nevertheless, Florian Mueller is still a controversial figure and has incorrectly reported in the past (see here: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1939165/mueller-for... ). Something like groklaw would be better, but the story isn't showing up there at the moment.
A quick tldr: Availability Zones within a Region are supposed to fail independently (until the entire Region fails catastrophically). Any sites that designed to that 'contract' were broken by this morning's incident, because multiple AZs failed simultaneously.

I've seen a lot of misinformation about this, with people suggesting that the sites (reddit/foursquare/heroku/quora) are to blame. I believe that the sites were designed to AWS's contract/specs, and AWS broke that contract.
Misleading title, dubious blog. This is an anti-Google/Android blogger with likely ties to Google competitors.

I think you're drastically underestimating the cost of a crash and the need for a good backup.

If you go down, how many customers may you lose for life?

What do you tell those users if you happen to lose some of their scheduled tweets?

How many refunds will be requested?

Not to mention the time it will take you to bring everything back to life on a new server.
Have you used Google Offers yet? With the big map they have as the background of the teaser it seems like it could be quite different from Groupon. They have mapping software built into a couple hundred million smartphones... Could be a nice differentiating factor. Not to mention an established relationship with millions of businesses through AdWords.
It's fine that Google is late in to group buying, but the problem is they aren't going to be able to do it any better than Groupon or Living Social so people aren't going to care. As other said, Google killed it with Gmail and it was far better than any other mail service, but how much better can they make 50% off coupons?
Maintaining Bug for Bug compatibility is a critically important part of maintaining binary compatibility in minor version API updates.

Grossly breaking sound for end-users in order to adhere to an ideologically rigorous reading of a man page isn't a win for anyone except pedants.
But app developers need to convince all bitcoin users, when they want to change the rules. If they don't convice them, they will just fork the project.
I'm going to vote against this: I personally never look at names anyway. Eyes jump between comments themselves, and only if a person is marked as a friend do I lift my eyes up in a "oh yeah, it's you again" tilt.
To be honest, if he believes that 'proofs are lacking on both sides' then I've just lost quite a significant amount of respect for the man.

If the 'truthers' are correct then many hundreds, if not thousands, of people decided to conspire to murder thousands of innocent civilians and, somehow, managed to prevent any leaking of this whatsoever.

On this basis alone, the idea that 9/11 was a conspiracy is insane, before we get to the fact that, as with all other conspiracy theories, there is just no evidence whatsoever (though the 'truthers' require an unattainable standard of proof from reasonable people, despite requiring none for their own beliefs) then the idea that there is 'no proof' on either side is equally unhinged.

If you can't think clearly on something so clear and obvious then it really draws into question your reliability on any subject, especially if you are 'preaching' on the subject.

I'm sorry, you just have to draw the line when you're talking about the murder of thousands of innocent people. Seriously.
xinput is still able to read all keys when xterm's secure keyboard is enabled.
Thanks for pointing out the "Secure Keyboard" option. Make sure to test it before relying on it, though. I just tested in my system and it does not prevent "xinput test" from receiving the key presses, even when typing the "su" password.
right, because it's not operating on x11 events, it's just directly reading xinput data. there's not much xterm can do when the underlying server is giving away all of the raw input data.
I like Emacs; I've been using it for 30+ years and I thank RMS for inspiring the commercial Emacs clone I use today. Pretty much everything else he's done: Whatever.

My personal interactions with RMS have drawn me to the conclusion that he's just a smart asshole, and a little crazy. Steve Jobs is like that, too. The difference is, I would jump at a chance to work with Jobs.
I live in Chicago, which is an hour or so from Rockford. I didn't actually manage to extract a "here's what Obama is about" narrative from the NYT article. Here's what I think:

• Take anything Obama touched during his time in the Senate.

• Note that we still have that problem. For instance: immigration, border security, mines, spending transparency, no-bid contracting, nonproliferation, and (of course) peace in West Asia. (Note how I cheated by reading 1 Wikipedia graf to generate that list. You could broaden the list by finding things he did in the Senate that weren't notable because they went nowhere.)

• For bonus points, find some large organization that contributes uniformly to major political candidates of one or both parties that is relevant to the problem Obama attempted to solve.

• Write a message board post with the same narrative as your original post.
Oh. I read this article years ago, so I didn't re-read it.

Everest mass would be a very tiny black hole.

As it oscillated back and forth it's picking up momentum from the earth, which slows down the oscillation. It would end up right in the center, but not moving.

After that it will wait for the pressure of the earth to feed it mass.
I would suggest reading The Poliquin Principles (http://www.amazon.com/Poliquin-Principles-Successful-Strengt...)

It provides a great insight into not only the difference between light and heavy weight but also reps and timing.
Some more; "But it no longer is the exclusive superphone, and I am afraid that Apple has now forever abandoned the top end of the market to Nokia, Samsung and SonyEricsson. Apple moved downstream. And that battle is far more tough than the top-end market."
I'm watching this table closely for quite a while. The real thing is that there's no WebKit on mobile YET. Over time all those players are getting more and more standards-complaint and as a result there are less differences between them now than it was, say, half a year ago. It's especially true for more relevant once (Safari, iPhone/iPad, Android and Chrome). Other players, notably Symbian, evolving much slower. Also it's always a pleasure to see when a newer player behaves favorably and is serious about standard-compliance. Bada does a very good job, unlike WebOS.
I didn't say we need to replace them, I said that we don't need them.
As I understand it yes. That line had nothing to do with the atlantic slave trade and everything to do with the barbary one.

At the time that song was written, the Royal Navy did not in fact rule the waves at all (we were latecomers to the colonial game relatively speaking). It was a song designed to exhort people to the goal of ruling the waves, and so (amongst other things) protecting the UK from pirate raids.

Royal Navy manpower needs vastly exceeded volunteers, so press gangs (impressment into naval service, essentially conscription) was used. If someone had some sailing experience, for example serving on a merchant vessel, they were liable to be conscripted into the navy.

Conditions on longer voyages were pretty terrible. According to everything I've read, scientific minds figured out scurvy quite some time before the same solution penetrated the skulls of the admiralty. So on long voyages there was potentially a high fatality rate of up to 50%.

My reading of this is that they needed to maintain morale. Barbary Slave raids were a credible threat everyone faced, particularly as if you were likely to be pressed (by virtue of not being useless on a ship) you were also likely to live near the coast (where there are ships). So even if you weren't particularly bothered about ruling the waves for trading or imperial reasons, preventing slave raids would be something to feel good about.
I found reading about history of science interesting because you see how for long periods people "knew what was true" only to discover a better truth, that includes even brilliant physicists. It kinda killed the absolute aspect of science for me. Sadly a lot of people, thanks to the web / computer / wikipedia era are freshly jumping into science as a safe source of truth and cannot keep the implicit "if" regarding a lot of domains.
nope, same guy at work, at home, with friends, and in public.

its liberating. and pretending to be someone else is exhausting.

life is too short.

imagine going through life walking on eggshells, pretending to be someone else. people do this in mating too, and it never ends well.

I built a real-time helper that's a bit simpler approach:

I find it useful for trying out new words/strategies after a first round of play.
The way to fix that is to remove state altogether.

1. Balance is not a simple variable, but the sum of all credits and debits to an account
2. A fee is a charge record in your database
3. This fee has a database constraint that you can have only one record per month

Now you can run the script that charges dormant fees as often as you want.
Being web-tech based was/is basically the core feature and motivation of building Atom I believe. So I don't think they could have picked anything else (unless compile-to-js langs count).
This is CVE-2022-1364
As opposed to the patient being clearly in their latest hours as a living being.

I remember listening to a podcast where they went to nursing homes and talking to nurses on how they can pretty accurately predict that a guest is not going to survive for more than a few hours or till the next week.

(Of course they explain how this is not very scientific and how sometimes they miss the mark. I forgot where it was, but I'm looking for that episode and going to post a link to it when I do find it.)
It's a very biased and old list of articles from an author who openly claimed that "V should die".

For example, the performance of V is measured on a debug build, without vlib cached, without vfmt disabled, with a 10x slower backend.

Here's V compiling itself in 0.3 seconds:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvP6wmcl_Sc

Also complaining about not running on all Linux flavors on day 1. Right now V runs on literally everything.

And so on.

That's why I asked to list the specific claims the poster had in mind here in the comments.
American humor vs British humor? Just a wild guess ofc.

And/or taking a joke about people in general personal even though the resp. person is just the vehicle for the joke and not the aim?

I found that funny. Probably because I deem my own life anything but remarkable.
Adding to this (I'm sure you are aware), that it is a bit more complex in reality. The SPD of a non emitting medium depends on the reflectivity (as function of wavelength) of the medium and the SPD of the illuminating light source. So two materials with different reflectivities would be metamers (appear the same color) with one light source but not for a second, while if they had the same reflectivity they would appear the same color for every light source.
What do you think of the other replies?
It's interesting how many folks seem kinda obsessed with brain size...

Does anyone know of a company (or university, govt. agency, etc.) which hired or promoted on the basis of "physically larger brains perform better" - and was actually successful with that? Probably using some rough cranial measurements as a proxy for brain size, vs. MRI's.

I'd bet that the real-world performance of that strategy would be considerably worse than random chance, due to various knock-on effects.
Somewhat to my surprise, searching for those on Duck Duck Go popped them right up: Notability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability and Reliable Sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources
Here's the difference: Bletchley Park didn't have anything else. There were no programmers. There were no github repos. There wasn't anything, really. All kinds of proxy measures used to be used (for instance, I've heard there's a correlation between musical talent and programming ability).

Those measures were better than nothing, but not better than a good measure.

Edit, because I want to amplify on this a bit.

In the absence of any other measure, I'm willing to believe that someone who's good at brain teasers is somewhat more likely to be a good programmer than someone who isn't (though the correlation isn't going to be perfect, by any means).

The thing is that I can also believe that someone who's good at brain teasers is more likely to be a good surgeon or mechanic than someone who isn't.

Yet we don't use this type of question when we're interviewing surgeons or mechanics. Why not?
There was also that ridiculous one about "how do you put an elephant in a refrigerator"

Don't tell me someone has used that as an interview question? That's a silly kids joke, after which you'd laugh childishly. There even was a follow up question, if an elephant and a giraffe would race, who'd win to give the other guy a chance to redeem himself.

The joke works a lot better with languages without definite and indefinite versions of nouns, like Finnish, and you mess up the joke with english where using the definite preposition would ruin the joke, and the indefinite form is not honest.
After having looked at dozens of Bitcoin exchange APIs, this one was a breath of fresh air.

The only other respectable API out there belongs to Kraken [1].

I would round up three people and ask them to each stand near the different light and ask them to tell me when their light turned on or off.

You might look at this question as a means to discern whether or not you are a team player.
And 7 is the TZ (-0700)
I dunno - 60,000 people? I can't think of anything of that magnitude (not that I keep on top of that kind of stuff...)
This is great! Looking forward to watching it...
I can't wait to get out of software development.

I'm just a couple of years removed from uni and I'm already planning my exit. My first corporate job was a huge eye-opener. This type of stuff left and right with zero career advancement and complete disdain from corporate.

I'm not even thirty and I plan on retiring and starting my own business (tech or other) by the time I'm 40. The only good thing about tech is that I can actually find a job and that the pay is above average giving me the opportunity to take the money and run!

It's a complete shame too because I enjoy solving problems through code. I love learning about new technologies. But everywhere I look software developers are completely screwed, absolute wasteland of an industry.
The rules in the US are similar. You merely have to have a door that the (often sick) chickens could theoretically leave through.

I'm fortunate enough to live in the Midwest and I know all my farmers personally. I know what I'm getting, but I understand this isn't possible for everyone. However, it wasn't long ago when people raised chickens and pigs in New York City.

If you want the best nutritional value for your buck, it's best to grow your own. For less than $50, I'll have 60 to 70 percent of my caloric intake grown this year.

My grocery budget for a family of 3 comes out to less than $50/week in the winter and around $20/week in the summer.
If you have no moves, you lose. (You only have a king left and can't move anywhere with it) I actually learned this first, so imagine my confusion when I played western Chess and someone told me now it's a tie!
Ah, so that explains it. Thanks
Are you looking for something like what Tender App (http://www.tenderapp.com) has, where every time someone creates a ticket or responds to your response, they send you an email with the content of the ticket, and you can respond directly to the email to post a response?

For outbound transactional mail, you should consider PostageApp (http://www.postageapp.com) to help design, send, and manage the reporting for your emails. I'm the Product Manager there, so I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

As for the receiving and parsing of the emails, that's something a little outside of my expertise. However, if you do find an answer, I'd love to hear it!

Good luck.
Oh forgot one: PyCharm has a very good support for virtualenvs.

It's not quite perfect yet, but you can set a virtualenv interpreter as a project's current interpreter (PyCharm does not automatically recognize that, and that's the major feature lacking) and PyCharm will see the right PYTHONPATH. Very, very handy with `virtualenv --no-site-package` which I tend to use a lot.
Yes someone gets it. You shouldn't be skimping on quality food, it's your body! Also 10% protein is kinda low :(
A game of Xiangqi happens at a faster pace than a game of chess so more stuff happens.

I think it's to do with more cannons and less pawns. Pawns in Xiangqi are nerfed. (No diagonal move until pass the river, cannot turn into Queen.)

Read up on the cannon. :)
greplin doesn't index content within files on dropbox, just the filenames.

I am building a startup that does that i.e. it indexes your doc/pdf files (more formats coming), and allow you to instantly search through them. It's called grepfiles.com, but is in very early stage (pre-alpha), so go easy on it since I am not sure how well it scales. Mail me at mail@asif.in if you have any feedback. Would really appreciate it.
That's clearly the only other option.
This week is the first time in the year that I've owned mine that it has been down.
I wasn't explicitly referring to Linode but to the people running the datacenter (which is, in this case, HE).

I wouldn't so much wish for a premium offering, just better datacenters in general for Linode's racks.
I think Apple's internal policies regarding employees use of Swift for Apple's own software dev should be published as part of the Swift documentation. If it's not good enough for them, it's not good enough for me, but as they gradually change their policies, I'll probably change mine.
Personally I'm not a cyclist, but I would order most of that stuff on line and not spend tons of time schlepping my entire family+dog on exurban shopping adventures. One huge side benefit of COVID has been that the big box stores in Australia have finally started doing deliveries; the only thing on your shopping list that I would do in person is clothes (which usually need to be tried on).

Partly it's because I live in a city with rubbish traffic on weekends, so a weekend like you describe would be full of crawling traffic and hunting for parking spots.

Having a weekend like you describe - which I remember more from other cities - is something that you can do because of the ways cities are designed (big box stores!). Not wanting to be a moral scold, but a lot of cycling advocates would just say "spend your weekends differently". That's not what I'm saying - and elsewhere I complain that a lot of cycling advocates seem to assume everywhere is already set up like Amsterdam in terms of population density and flatness. However, spending every weekend piling into a vehicle to schlep around big box stores is a choice, just like living in some dense area and cycling everywhere in a cutesy whole-family cargo bike.

You use the word 'need' a lot, even for stuff like "breakfast at a cafe" ('mom: we have breakfast food at home', as the meme goes). A lot of this stuff is choices.
Please re-read my comment four posts upthread. It's possible that this code wasn't in production; if so, there were known vulnerabilities left open for months.
The fundamental idea of using the donor's own stem cells is known as an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant and has existed for a while. It is used as therapy for a fair number of blood cancers (e.g. multiple myeloma or a few leukemias).

Using "something" to manipulate the donor cells has also been done for these autologous HSCTs. I know of "CAR T cell therapy", but there are likely others. ( https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/research/car-t... )

I think some small number of autologous HSCT recipients require immunosuppressants, but from what I remember the number is very very small. (Allogenic HSCT recipients, who receive cells from a different person, are _much_ more likely to require lifetime immunosuppressants.)

It's super cool that they're able to treat genetic diseases this way!
There would be no room for error if we just put the libraries in with the project as files instead of adding all these extra steps. Nobody seems to like this simple, bulletproof method anymore for some reason though.
This doesn't seem to be working for me on Ubuntu 20.04 (and according to a comment on https://askubuntu.com/questions/258219/how-do-i-make-apt-get... it seems like I'm not the only one). If, by chance, you're on Ubuntu 20.04, did you happen to figure out a way to get rid of the rest of `apt-get`'s output?
