You misunderstand what I mean - personally I find it impossible to remember the crazy number of enums that iPhone programming foists upon you, so the popup of options is greatly welcome.

The thing I don't like about that is that instead of displaying the name of the enum, it displays a human-friendly name. I love the menu, but I'd rather not move my mouse to select one of the options, nor move my hands to the arrow keys to navigate it. It'd be great for the popup menu to provide the actual programmatic name (along with the awesome visual aid of what the enum actually means) so I can just start typing the first few characters of what I want, hit TAB, and complete it.

Similarly, if I want to include an image, the popup with the image previews is awesome, but I'd rather not have to move my mouse to scroll through it and pick it out. Odds are I have some notion of what the name begins with.
He (or someone in his company) wrote a BASIC for the second Apple II computer. The original II could be made to run it through a language card.
This is exactly what is happening now for mobile devices like the iPhone - lots of casual games where you might play for a few minutes while waiting for the train. I find myself playing these quite often, and I haven't played video games in years.
Andrew Carnegie was regarded as a ruthless businessman by his contemporaries, competitors, and employees. However, he is also almost solely responsible for the free public libraries which have contributed so much to American education (and which, sadly, are now falling into neglect everywhere).

Sometimes you have to regard a person as, y'know, a person -- someone who can do both good things and bad things, things you're grateful for and things you disagree with.
So I tried it. The biggest problem is that it gets quieter each pass. Not sure why. I tried adding --noreplaygain but it didn't help.

The quality seemed to preserve OK, but as the signal get quieter and quieter the noise started becoming more obvious.

If you need to put a limit, then don't claim it's unlimited. The problem is with the marketing, not the cap itself.
The thing to remember with exceptions is that they're for exceptional situations. We check explicitly in the return value for "common" errors such as a read failure, and higher level control flow catches exceptions that bubble up and log them and/or kill that particular thread.

This works pretty well in practise, and is quite similar to Erlang's monitor model. It's verbose and undesirable to handle _all_ exceptional cases in a distributed system explicitly via checked exceptions, and using monitors to catch exceptions that we're not expecting and do a process kill/log/restart is a good model in my mind.

OCaml gives the language flexibility to migrate to this as well, which is nice (since, as you note, we'll never get all the third-party code we depend on to be exception-free, and nor do I think that is a desirable goal). Core and Async from Jane Street also exhibit this split: Core tends to use On_error to explicitly handle errors, and Async (being used for distributed programming) instead adopts a "raise-exception-and-catch-it-in-a-monitor" model. Theres more on that in the Async chapter in RWO: https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/concurrent-programming...

Such implicit locks are quite common a hamper to let the best product succeed.

We are all running what most would consider an outdated and poorly designed c.p.u. architecture by modern standards, simply because most software is not compiled to run on other architectures, and it won't be until those architectures see significant adoption.
Indeed. Maybe I can run with this and eventually quit my full time job. :P

You really think a professional football player wouldn't know tons of random trivia about their sport? They probably could spend hours talking about the various pros/cons of different cleats...

Though I guess it's technically not necessary to know those things, I would be surprised that someone would put in the work necessary to succeed without being at least a bit interested in the details.
It’s obviously a project made for fun. And you are asking the guy to shell out $10,000 for a new camera body?

Edit: of course, renting is an option. But personally even with insurance I would not be comfortable with the risk of renting such expensive equipment for a project that was purely for my own entertainment/curiosity.
There were multiple attack vectors and some of them were significantly better at leaking information with hyperthreading enabled but the basic cache side channel leak worked just fine in single core systems before kernel patches mitigated the impact by flushing hardware buffers as part of the context switch (at a significant performance cost)
You might be trying to be too smart for politics I'm afraid. Looking at real metrics? Trying to establish cause and effect? Having a good faith retrospective on prior policies? I'm not sure you'll find any of that in political discourse.
That means you have bad middle/upper management. Large tech companies have heard of the Peter Principle and don't promote this way; they have separate technical tracks.

Which is not to say they're doing everything right.
That's what crunchbase is for.

Also would be fun to do with the secure random generator in Web Crypto.
I quite like our Google TV Chromecast too (I think that's the name, the new one with the remote). Our old Samsung from 2013 had a lot of issues, Netflix would stall a lot, and Disney Plus never even released an app for it.

Turns out it wasn't the WiFi like we suspected, the TV was apparently just poorly coded junk. It's smooth playing on the new device (apart from the time it crashed and needed a reboot). My only complaint is that it associated with my YouTube account but it's a shared TV, so the main screen has watching suggestions based on what I have personally watched and I cannot 'log out' of YouTube alone. This is annoying, but it's Google, so what is privacy? I guess I can make a new account.
PEPs are specification fragments. But it's far from a complete python language specification.
As much as you feel a responsibility to the public on this you have a massive conflict of interest in this area. Sure, be nice and send your competitor an email. After that stay out of it and move on. There have been plenty of hackers who felt they were doing the right thing by informing companies of security issues they found only to have the same companies turn around and attempt to press charges on them.
Sadly, it's probably a little hard to fit a CPLD in that kind of space without wire-bonding equipment. They also tend to lack the infernal clocks that most microcontrollers have these days.

Of course their arguments don't stack up. They're professional conservatives. They are paid very well to systematically lie and distort for very specific purposes.
I don't know what 10-second manual scaling means.

Our problem with Heroku was that we didn't know how many units to allocate, and ended up way over-spending. But if we had tweaked it to be just right, we would have been screwed by an unexpected surge.
Speakeasy is definitely not easy on the prices, but they've never once put me through any of that crap. I've been able to cut straight to the chase and get some BERT tests done, which usually reveal problems with one of the repeaters. They actually helped me figure out the wiring on my NID to make sure everything there was ok.

And I blame the internet, but I actually expanded the acronym "FSM" incorrectly and was horribly confused until I realized that you meant finite state machine.

But I fully agree with your message about troubleshooting scripts: you just have to learn to path through them. I'm pretty good at navigating them myself, enough so that after Grandma had spent hours on the phone arguing with someone, I went back and had the right guy doing what we wanted in just a few minutes.
It would nice if it would have been more specific about google's usage (for IM) or facebook's usage at all.

Consumers no longer own their devices. Companies decide which code runs on them, and of course they choose code that makes them money.

There really is no reason to couple two functions (displaying images, selecting and playing content) in a single device. It's an antipattern for resilient and serviceable systems.

I also liked the dedicated scroll wheel on MS Office-themed keyboards. They might have gone overboard with the clipboard control buttons, but the wheel felt reasonable.
If you are unhappy with the terms or products of a company, you are free to shop or work elsewhere. That is the difference. "Capture of surplus" is hate speech - without those companies, there would be no surplus to begin with, that anybody could capture.

If you believe those companies will capture so much surplus, you could also buy some of their stock and participate.
That is a common misconception.

It only applies to threaded code, as soon as IPC, or other kind of external resources enter into the picture there is very little that Rust's type system can do to help with.

Authoritarianism is occasionally useful when collective action is necessary to prevent a major disaster. Individual people have a tendency to take everything they can, like in cases where entire stores have been bought out of meat or toilet paper or cleaning supplies. An authoritarian approach of dictating what a person can and cannot do at a very fine-grained level can prevent these things from happening. For example, rationing is currently very popular as a way to maintain stocks of toilet paper for people who need it.

The key here is that we understand it to be for the common good. Whereas most authoritarianism is to force people to fit the same mold, here it has an application in keeping people from hurting each other by their actions.
Wow! Talk about an open office!
But as anecdata my wife avoids pooping at work or at public toilets, so saves it up for home, whereas I will just go if I need to and there is a non-disgusting toilet available.

I used to own the XPS 9550 (15", 1080p non-touch) and the battery life was around 6-7 hours with the Nvidia GPU disabled. I bought it used so it might have been even better new too.
I was mostly kidding, though they do tend to have what amounts to a videowall attached to the trading desks from what I've seen in photos shared by friends working in HFT.

What I suspect is a larger barrier is their paranoia. It'd surprise me if any HFT firm was comfortable with equipping the homes of its traders with everything needed from the bespoke software to appropriate hardware etc. They're very protective of their trade secrets and wouldn't want that stuff sitting around in the homes of employees where it can be either copied or otherwise scrutinized.
If we don't support TLS, doesn't mean we don't care about E2E Encrypted Data, or E2H Encrypted Data, or Signed Data.

I do understand how the system works - and I've seen ISPs issue fake real certificates (which CA issues Google's certificate?) and I think sometimes, you just have to do it deeper, and yourself, if you have to do it right.
Your point is valid, but the reason for the equity is not about compensation, but about alignment of interests. If things do go really well, then I need skin in the game. But I also need to be treated like a part owner, not a disposable employee.

The equity thing is about the mindset of the boss, more than compensation.
You can revolve into the "private industry" of government contractors.
I used to hate Facebook, but over the years I've come to enjoy it. But now I am starting to hate it again. The reasons have nothing to do with Facebook's privacy issues or Facebook's business decisions. No, the issues I am having are that Facebook has enabled friends, family members and acquaintances to inject their dumb ideas, religious quotes, backwards thinking, ridiculous opinions, FOX news talking points and political beliefs into my everyday life. What I used to be able to ignore is now front-and-center on my Facebook Wall because I have friends and family members who I love dearly but who aren't necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer.

So, what will "kill" Facebook? It's simple. What will kill Facebook will be its own stupid users.

“Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!” - George Carlin
Agreed, but maybe they'll make it up with a nice new year's present, like they did last year (ram increase)?
Yes, definitely a double edged sword.
That just puts an emphasis on what I said. If there are a lot of hidden things that can go wrong, then in any non-trivial application some of them do, and Java performance is on the average, horrible.

The bigger problem is that there's no reasonable way of figuring out what the problem might be.

And for the record, said code was a tight loop, created no objects, had the same kind of workload of a sort algorithm; The two nontrivial things about it was that it was accessing multiple simple vectors using the same index (non-idiomatic java), and that one of those vectors was a memory mapped buffer (non-idiomatic java, but essential because of the overuse of memory).

Yes, I do agree that it was wrong to scam her on it, but her attitude over the whole situation wasn't the best either.

When she got the offer for 1,000$, she raised it to 1,100$.
Then that e-mail that she sent in response isn't so good either.
This line in the patent:

This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09/919,672, filed Jul. 31, 2001.

means that it was effectively filed on that date, so you would need prior art predating 2001. (Though it might be more complicated than that, it depends on a couple of things.)
Forth was my first thought when I read the article -- it seems like a perfect fit for a project like this.
The non-print is 10x slower to load, renders something you need to close in front of it first, and renders a lot of useless stuff around it.

The print link, despite the inconvenience of having to close a print dialog, is SOOOOO much better. Why aren't all websites like that? As a bonus, it works on mobile too, since it's only what is needed and wraps at the side of the screen: the text.
Sad, but true it seems. There might be a difficult way out, but I don't believe we should accept this.

One insight is that the framers of the US Constitution did not necessarily anticipate the current differences of today (even though the more some things change, the more these remain the same)...

IMHO, USG needs:

1. The separation of powers could use a rebalancing to prevent the executive branch from wielding absolute autonomy, i.e., post-Henry VIII.

2. Campaign finance reform is a requirement. Congress isn't going to cut off their own campaign funding, except by sheer force of the people. Fund candidates equally with 50% matching public-for-private funds up to the absolute total limit for the seat. Then let the best message, hustler and money manager win.
> Why is farming superior to properly managed wild fisheries? Over fishing is the problem.

... and over fishing occurs because management of wild stock is clearly not working.

Plus, there's a lot of waste in the chain that is diminished on fish farming.

> Farmed fish are loaded with toxins, as I understand it. The pollution is also a problem.

The toxins in farmed fish, mainly in salmon, are just a reflex of the toxins everywhere in the habitat (pesticides, untreated sewage), bad methods (fish fed with chicken waste) and lack of regulation. It's a non-issue where they don't crap on their own food and do it right (Chilean salmon, for instance).

> Even farming cattle in the way we do it is not really sustainable.

I agree. But the sad truth is that beef and bacon sells, and the planet would be devoid of mammals by tomorrow morning if we switched overnight to hunting game. Human population only got to the current size exactly because we raise cattle (among other things).

On top of that, there are ways to farm native species inside their own habitat, which helps bringing the population levels back to normal, like in your Buffalo example.

The Apollo program is a remarkably direct and relevant example of throwing money at a problem resulting in a quicker solution. There is of course a limit, but we're well below that point now. And with our current rate of experimental launches, many employees won't even remain in the job long enough to experience more than one of them. Speeding the rate up could have exponential increases in productivity.

Arguably the sites they visit will be receiving skewed analytics against their particular use-case, so the site owners won't cater to their needs as much. That said, I still block GA.
They don't get the privilege of having their data analyzed and used to market products back to them.

Some of the marketing people on here will probably find that to be horrendous. Where is my relevant promoted content?!
Ah, yeah. Well, that's ok. I never downvote people with whom I have discussions here either. I think for some it's easier to downvote than to reply, which is fine with me.
