You mean the Windows Phone fools?

I firmly believe that Nokia could have become a major player if they'd stayed the course with Meego-Harmatton. I owned a Nokia N9, the one phone that ran it, and it was great!.

The UI was very different from iOS, but it had all of the iPhone's polish and purposeful design. I greatly preferred it for several reasons: multi-tasking, for instance, was far more seamless than what iOS could do at the time.

Nokia's timing was right, too, and unlike Microsoft, Nokia had a deep history in the mobile space. They really could have made something.
It did have repercussions, albeit extremely limited to the scale of Facebook, they were fined 110 million euros
> This "we're anything but" mindset is self-perpetuating. 10-25 years from now the next generation of programmers will be saying the same thing.

Depends. If they're still 20 years behind academia, they deserve to be saying it. If they still have this weird culture that abhors modern advances in favor of "getting shit done" and wastes time arguing what kind of text editor matters, they deserve to say that.

> Glass half-full is what I'm trying to accomplish here.

I like to say that the glass has 118.29 cubic centimeters of water in it.
I just did a Google image search because I was curious to see other conversions. I found this one with a wood stove for heating...

I've dabbled with Buddy before. http://www.buddy.com/ I'd recommend them.
All those windows can be converted into exits on the fly via the application of a $5 emergency hammer.
I don't think programming is an exception, it's probably similar to many other jobs where we haven't proved that societal obstacles are the reason.
Seems kinda hostile to treat all foreigners as "rights-free persons". The United States was built on immigration. I can't believe that the people in charge don't see how destructive this attitude is for the global neighborhood's relationship to the US.
That news.google-link appears to be broken?
> Parents can easily get enough sleep as well. It's called "sleeping when the baby sleeps".

I did this with a puppy (when they're little they'll wake you every 90m at night) instead of putting her into a cage and once you figure it out it's really not that much worse than sleeping through the night. Perhaps doing that for a few months is measurably different from doing it for a year or so, but I seriously doubt it as chronic sleep deprivation (which I would have had if I had not adapted to the schedule) starts being very harmful very obviously quite a bit before "a few months".
I like the idea of Make, but it's far too hacky. Even using it for a static blog site (turning foo.md -> foo.html, which is pretty close to the usual foo.c -> foo.o examples) ended up with recursive invocations, rule-creation macros, double-escaped sigils, eval, etc.

There are a bunch of lightweight alternatives to Make out there (I hear Ninja is pretty good). My personal preference is Nix these days (although that's quite heavyweight).
It's a technical issue because the investment and power required to for the deicing necessary greatly reduces their efficiency.

It's an interesting question if Texas should require all turbines to have deicing capabilities which are almost never used.
No.

Cycling is fine until its too cold, too wet, too hot, and oh I am late or I need to carry something else or .. or... or..

seriously all these articles act as if it is a viable solution day in and day out and its far from one.

people like cars, buses, and other enclosed transport, all for the same reason. because it can make the weather irrelevant to the trip
Blah git sucks. Just learn git.
Yes, right now we assume independence. SALib recently added a few algorithms that can handle correlation: https://github.com/SALib/SALib/issues/193#issuecomment-55195...
I'm planning to try them out soon :)

I mean, if you're referring to the Taxpayer First Act (which specifically had stories around Intuit benefitting from the Free File provision https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a27091346/democrats-tu...) this was bipartisan and it's disingenuous to blame a single party.

If you look directly on the Congress website, there are 20 Democratic cosponsors and 8 Republican cosponsors in the House for the Taxpayer First Act: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/3151...
OP means Property tax from employees. Because it creates a ton of jobs

Can you please explain how this differs from a WhatsApp or telegram group? Also why would most of my family use iPhone? I don't see the android version
While I don't disagree with you that ESR has a strong ideological tilt, it's also useful to remember that he wrote that quite a long time ago now, when that effectively =was= true.

Going back to the subject at hand, I think that the post misses the point that being a 'hacker' isn't really about how many languages you know, it's about certain ways of thinking. The most important, IMO, things to know are all (fairly) language agnostic - algorithms and data structures. If you don't understand those and how they work and how to choose between them, then you're never going to be really good at what you do.

Also, you need to learn a functional language well enough that you can solve hard problems using it. Understanding functional programming and all the concepts it introduces (partial evaluation, currying, monads, first class functions, map/reduce to name a few) will do wonders for how you write code in other languages and will make the code you write far cleaner and more readable and easier to extend afterwards.
Couldn't you just shield against high energy particles with a strong magnetic field like Earth does?

Or would that be too heavy to lug around and/or too difficult to supply with enough energy?
The map has to be larger (or at least possible to enlarge) and also the "Google Earth" plugin should be enabled.
The ODA figure is the amount the government spends, not what individuals give. (The US's ODA figure is rather low. Perhaps that has an impact, one way or another, on the giving of individuals in the US.)
I don't follow the logic here. Google claims that these are the best answers for users and at first glance, I'd have to agree.

I tried the same query on other search engines:

1) Bing corrected me, assuming I meant "ny chiropractic" and 3 of the top 5 results are for chiropractic schools/organizations.

2) Duck Duck Go doesn't correct me but provides less information in terms of reviews, approximate location, links to Yelp, etc.

Sure, both of those show different results, but how can we even begin to quantify that they're "better" in some way just because they're organic? The very first result on Duck Duck Go looks like spam to me.

It's the same thing as if I was looking for a taco in my town. Both Bing and Duck Duck Go tell me about the three local Taco Bells but never mention the two Mexican restaurants nearby that Google points out in the Places section. Google doesn't even mention them in their organic results.

If I was looking for a decent taco, Google's the only search engine that'd get me there apparently.
No mention of his amazing Soldier in the Mist series.
I may be tired or dumb, but your argument sounds circular to me. Of course the ECB won't insist there is no inflation if they themselves have defined housing to not be included in the definition they use to measure inflation. This doesn't mean that the parent commentator is wrong nor does it imply that ECB is correct in their definition. For most people, housing is a significant cost in day to day life, and will of course be felt as inflation, regardless of how it's defined and measured in monetary policy.

If it were up to me, housing should also be included in the definition of inflation. That would be a good way to lay bare the downsides with an aggressively expanding monetary policy.
While there's good things for a kid to learn from spreadsheets, it might also do harm because it's so dissimilar to "the real thing".

It's like when students learn MatLab. While much closer to regular software engineering than spreadsheets, it is still different enough for all the wrong basic concepts to sneak in and manifest. Switching to a classic programming language afterwards might actually be harder that way (not only learn all the new stuff, but unlearn/unlink the old stuff).
There's a maven daemon project now that closes most of the speed gap for my projects
The second best time is now :)
IMHO the saving you do as an adult is a very different kind of activity from the saving you learn to do as a child. Saving as a child is more about delaying gratification by not acting on one's desires; saving well as an adult is more about taking action by making prudent financial decisions. I'm not sure if learning the former really helps you much with learning the latter, though it is a useful lesson in its own right.
Where would you suggest?

I recently purchased a subscription to The Economist and have been listening to the top stories on a daily basis. That said, it seems to be more politics than economics.
> the Samsung culture is extremely top-down and overwork focused

Allow me to add some context. The Samsung culture could be described as militaristic, with accompanying rank and ceremony, therefore I can see how you identified the top-down chain-of-command relationships.

> Markdown lacks a proper standard

http://commonmark.org/. Of course, you might already know about this, and just be playing the https://xkcd.com/927/ card.

On that topic, does anyone know what flavour of markdown is being used here (in fiddle.md)?
Now, what I do not understand is that why would Apple wish to make an over-the-top TV set or whatever. I'd say that they have a loyal userbase--if it only consisted of the mac-using coffeeshop-goers, the business probably would still survive--and a sustainable business model, and they are not going in negative direction economically. Why install another arm to your business?

I also wonder if it is lawful to remove an opensource project overnight from public access, to which people outside the company might have contributed. I have not used this product before and I know neither its licence nor the amount or existence of its contributors, but if I have had made a significant contribution, I would be very annoyed in this case and have sued--if possible--Apple or whoever responsible for publication of the sources until the acquisition.
That's also true of the US - especially if you include "urban and poor" as well.
Diesel in the US is expensive (currently more than a dollar/gal). This is due to tax differences between the fuels.

But the article makes a point that I find irksome:

"with lots of relaxed muscle available at low rpms"

Diesels can't rev high (harder to burn, heavier reciprocating parts). So diesels are tuned for low rpm and they all have turbo chargers. By contrast gasoline cars can rev high, so they are tuned for it. Most gasoline cars aren't turbo charged and those that are, are given turbos for the high end. Tune a gas engine right, give it a turbo as well, and it'll get all the diesel's low end power.

I like diesels, but they are absolutely non sensical in the US.

- The high price of diesel cancels the mpg advantage.
- The "torquey" argument is total BS (see below) - that's why a car maker includes a transmission.
- Nor is engine longevity true anymore ( or inherent to diesels): an average driver's car body (or electronics, or accessories, or rods, ect) will rot before the engine dies.

While I'm at it, Power = torque * rpm. There is no such thing as a "torquey" vs "powerful" engine. If you know one, you know the other. The "torque" vs. "Power" discussion is a proxy for the Power (or torque) vs. rpm and how broad it is. There is actually no reason to know the torque (unlike the curve itself) of an engine

Unless you're designing the engine, when you actually have to know the torsional stress on the materials.
Which doesn't sound very scalable at all. What is the use case for this?

Maybe Google has a database with information that the Government is interested in?
I was about to ask why anyone would bother sending plain text passwords and store them encrypted. I then remembered a high-school friend's first (and largely unsupervised) job where IIRC he devised a ridiculous password encryption (not hashing) scheme in PHP (on shared hosting).

Unrelated horror unfolded a couple of years later when for some peculiar reason he had to move the site to a godaddy VPS. An unencrypted customer database sitting at /db.sql, fully accessible to the world. Apache had been configured to show directory indexes and, to take the site offline, /index.php had been removed. I think at the time I even needed to explain the possible consequences. I just remember being told that the database was restoring and it wouldn't take too much longer!

I think any remaining part of me that implicitly trusted interesting websites with personal data died that day.
The thing is criticizing Element is a criticism on Matrix. Interoperable protocols always also make it much harder to build a very usable client for. Even the great email is being "disrupted" with new closed alternatives like Slack, Discord, Teams, etc.
An electric bike?
It's not even just per country. If you fly to certain airports in certain states they have different rules that affect what the Uber app can do. Do they maintain a separate app for Washington and for New York? It gets pretty messy pretty quickly. Not only do you have to maintain these different edge cases, but you also need to maintain separate applications and all of the problems associated with that like keeping libraries and API's in sync between them.
Owners of Standard Oil made more from the stocks of the companies spun off than they ever would had it been allowed to continue. That's one example of a breakup that led to massive growth in jobs, competition, and an entire host of supporting companies.
Finally, some one with additional details I was waiting to hear. If they hauled everyone learning Arabic off the false positive rate should be sky high. I wonder, just wonder, if this person was an "activist". You know, someone who tries to go positive on sufficient features of the detector to pass the threshold.
Well, what's happened in the past? Many jobs have been displaced. I don't remember any disasters because of it. 10 million jobs won't be lost instantaneously; you're being melodramatic. This will be a gradual process, allowing people to pursue new opportunities.
Think of tailwindcss an html-level "API" to a Design System - it provides a consistent color scheme, consistent padding/spacing, it uses a familiar naming scheme that aligns closely with the the original CSS naming. It's also easy enough to extend with your own customizations as well, particularly once you get a grasp on the advantages of atomic CSS [0].

Hell even consumers see it. Messaging apps, for instance.
Personally, I'm still incredibly skeptical about Ethereum and its ilk, but certainly a far less energy wasteful PoS methodology in the next version (when it finally goes full throttle) I suppose would be a good start.

Adding to this, unlike Satoshi Nakamoto, which I believe to be the alias for a team and not a single person, Vitalik Buterin at least is not shrouded in mystery and is out in the open. I'll give credit where credit's due. He's pretty upfront about his pet projects.

I don't share your enthusiasm for stablecoins and especially NFTs, though that's an entirely different can of worms.

For now, I'm happy to see where this all goes as I watch from the sidelines and not capitulate to FOMO. Yet so far, I can't help but feel that the market effects surrounding the ETH network is nothing but grifts and rich-on-paper showboating. Plus, my God those gas fees...
To precise, you say WSL1 is faster compared to Windows, or compared to WSL2? With WSL2 (and native-comp emacs branch) I've never noticed any unusual slowdowns with magit or other.

I haven't tried WSL1.
> I was on a team last year that was in their second round of developing their own in-house UI toolkit

Every team eventually tries this and fails to some degree, incurring costs along the way.

Also it's a lot like Akin's 39th law of spacecraft design:

https://spacecraft.ssl.umd.edu/akins_laws.html

But replace "launch vehicle" with "in-house UI toolkit".

It baffles me that people time and time again make the judgement that their several months of work are somehow more worth(in terms of effect) than literal man-years put into a decent UI library.
Yes. I had friends who were TVCs and met a few while I was an FTE there. Google (and even some Googleras) treats their TVCs like dog shit. Cant even eat at the cafeterias.
I haven't seen this talked about in the comments so thought I would mention it: depending on where you're from and where you're planning to go, you could try a Working Holiday Visa.

Not all countries are part of this program and the ones that do all have their own requirements (usually there is an age limit of < 30 years but this can vary). So have a look if the country you're from supports the program and if so which countries you could go to.
The big advantage if you can get it is you get a one year visa without the need of having a job or anything before going. You can then just fly over to the country, find a place to stay and search for a job while there.

As others have said I would recommend Ireland. I spent 3 years working in Dublin after I graduated and it was the best time of my life! Irish people are very welcoming and you will find a job fairly easily (although your first one could be a tech support / very junior role). Biggest issue of Dublin is the housing market is a disaster at the moment so don't expect to get your own 2 bedrooms apartment. Although that's mostly a Dublin issue, but that's where you would get the most jobs in the country.

There are other countries too where you could find english speaking jobs (Netherlands, Germany...) but you would still probably need some basics in the local language for day-to-day life. Ireland doesn't have that issue obviously.
None of the ARMs I carry with me run WinMo or had binaries compiled with VC++. The odds of WinMo devices outnumbering competing devices are very slim.

But you surprised me now: wasn't WP7 managed code-only? Has MS decided to allow native app code?
If by 'baked in assumption' you mean 'documented scientific research' then I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Sounds like three people have way too much time on their hands. That, or they are fascinated with the rich set of corroborative tools, (as rudimentary they may be4 for animation) in Google Docs.
Try subscribing to /r/BestOf or /r/IAMA. Some of the more non-bland/repetitive stuff comes up there. Though whether it's relevant depends on your individual measure.
Why do you have your pricing option in euro. For a broader audience don't you think dollar pricing would be better?
So, basically, DNS+CA, with mob-rule for conflict resolution for both servers and clients.

I like it - it can be implemented along-side DNS, mirroring DNS entries where the owners will agree to create a key. A progressive take-over is possible, layered on top of existing services.

It's not really "p2p" in that it needs hosts that must still be large and unmovable, thus a target, but a definite improvement. I'd still like to see/find/come up with a way to make something as totally host-free as possible, but no doubt it'd be incredibly slow compared to a more centralized solution.
That is the case in the U.S. as well. Although I've seen unit pricing of products in different sizes use different units (e.g. one product using ounces and the other quarts) that if not done deliberately to make comparison difficult still has that effect.
I've never had Romanian food but you piqued my interest now.
The problem with Black Cabs in London is that the drivers go around like they are god's gift to Earth.

Sure "The Knowledge" is an impressive feat of learning, but more often than not the drivers don't make use of it because the best route is not the most profitable one for the driver.

I have lost count of the number of times I have been subjected to the "tourist tax" where the driver heads straight for the major artery roads with their traffic jams (e.g. Kings Road, Strand, Embankment etc.) so you get to sit there watching the meter clock up whilst you move nowhere. Or the number of times the quickest and least-traffic route is South of the river but the driver sticks religiously to the Northen route.

Or the number of times the driver fumbles slowly getting the change, in the expectation that you say "oh forget it, keep the change" ... even if that change is £4 or more !

Or when I've been driving around London only for the Black Cab in front of me to stop on a double-red line to drop off a passenger. Or make a U-Turn in the middle of a busy street.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not fond of Uber either. Their standard of driving is pretty poor, and I hate the way they sit at the Heathrow DROP-OFF area waiting for their next job.

What I am saying is that the London cabbies are in dire need of some stiff competition. Yes I would rather that competition come from someone of better quality than Uber.
And here I was thinking it took so long because it was a bunch of Italians debating for 10 minutes between the morning cappuccino and lunch.
At least for me personally, usage varies wildly depending on what’s happening in the real world. On my family plan, my wife and I each use ~8-10 per month, but external factors cause much higher usage. For example, the car is on the account and acts as a WiFi hotspot for all non-cellular devices. We took a 13hr road trip in August and plan usage that month was 42gb.
Leave it in the bank, sit on it for a year. Think things through, take advice from different people. You will eventually find a house that you want to buy, or a business you want to invest in, or a holiday you want to take. Don't use it for the sake of using it.
Structurally it's a renamed ZIP file containing a pre-defined collection of XHTML, XML, NCX, OPF, and HTML/CSS content files.

So it's not quite just HTML/CSS when packaged up, but it is just HTML/CSS when it comes to the actual text content.

Other than getting the various constituent files zipped up, with their interrelated contents synced, the only other oddity is that the renamed ZIP must always start with an uncompressed 'mimetype' file.

The IDPF maintain the standard. The easy one is v2 (http://idpf.org/epub/201) but that is now deprecated. Unfortunately v3 allows more interactivity and scripting - and we all know how bad the tech industry is at keeping that kind of stuff secure.
Did you develop it in collaboration with your university? Although bringing them in would cut massively into money you could make, if you just want to bring this guy to market (as I gather from your "open source" attitude), you could use their legal department to help investigate.

My second piece of advice is to not take legal advice from the internet. Unless that advice is "seek a lawyer".
