>>>Why should they change?

Because there's the example of the iPod. It wasn't the music player to have until Apple employees wore down Steve Jobs so they could let it connect with Windows.
I wonder why no Statute of Limitations apply to this?
1. Because he had a lot of money to spend on lawyers

2. Because there are some fundamental issues - slowly getting cleared - on issues of search, procedure, etc

3. Because the legal system can take a bloody long time to achieve anything
More like bloxels. Chunky blocks are not same as high-resolution voxels from the point of view of gameplay. You can organize them way neater.
You may be right that it's not a win for the developer. But when talking about perks like this one, I don't understand why people approach analysis as if it's an adversarial relationship. A good deal for the company may also be a good deal for the developer. Why should I only accept a perk if I think I'm screwing over the company? However much they benefit from it, outside of assessing my negotiating position, is none of my business. To put another way, why would I expect to be offered a perk if it didn't benefit the company as well?
No, developers over-engineer because setting up a 20-node Hadoop cluster is fun, whereas doing the same task in an hour in Excel means you have to move onto some other boring task.

Generic doesn't mean robust either, I don't know where you got that from,the two concepts are entirely unrelated.
North Korea is not a fascist or nationalistic regime. And it's only been turned into a concentration camp by the West through sanctions. It's not even any more antithesis to democracy either. The party members are elected. The institution members are promoted by performance like anywhere else. The 'supreme leader' being some sort of a Sauron is a fantasy. Since you're comparing to Nazi Germany, you should also know that Hitler wasn't some sort of a god who bent everyone to his will. He was a leader of a party and a movement with the fascist ideology. Please don't equate Nazism and Communism.
No, except the NSA/WhiteHouse has themselves said they would be the QA dept for corps.

Yeah, that's one of the big reasons I got interested in Bitcoin, including contributions to its development.

Unfortunately, it has attracted a huge swarm of scammers, pumpers, and other dishonest people as it's grown, so I've lost interest.

While all the hacks are unfortunately part of a growing process, security will continue to improve[1]. I'm much more concerned about this type of people Bitcoin has attracted, and that much of its community has promoted. I'm particularly concerned that the constant influx of scammers may be inevitable in an anonymous or pseudonymous, irreversible currency, which a decentralized currency almost necessarily must be.

1. By necessity cryptocurrency may well bring about a rebirth in information security
It is that buzz surrounding Hadoop that makes people misunderstood its use and capability. I have met non-technical analysts who want RDBMS performance on Hadoop. They expect seconds to minutes scale queries on hundreds of GB of data.

I always throw this analogy to people who misunderstood Hadoop: A stone to crack an egg or a spoon?

Hadoop and RDBMS only have a thin overlapping region in the Venn diagram that describes their capabilities and use cases.

Ultimately, it is cost vs efficiency. Hadoop can solve all data problems. Likewise for RDBMS. This is an engineering tradeoff that people have to make.
That channel, OKKYDOKY, has 1.2 MILLION views. Who makes that stuff? WHY? It even purports to be from the USA. It's just some weird anonymous garbage. How do the people that make that stuff sleep at night? It's like they're trying to exploit glitches in the brains of toddlers.
YouTube Kids does have a way of turning on curated content only[0]. The main problem is that when you do that the library is tiny (and seemingly stuck in time).

This isn't the default though: Parents have to actively enable it. But it does get rid of most of the toy/McDonald's/etc adverts and "child personalities" that are prominent on the platform.

> Person should have type Person, and null should have type Null. Then the compiler could make sure you didn't ever mix the two up! But I guess that ship sailed a while ago, and enough has been written on the matter.

You can somewhat get that in C# nowadays: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/nullable-refe...
Before I was a manager I used to always try and automate my job away. I was of course never able to completely do this and the result was never actually less work. Once you were able to automate away one task a new one would magically appear.

Of course to my surprise me trying to automate away my tasks only increased my value to the companies I worked for and now I, as a manager, try to encourage my reports to do the same thing so that they can focus on more important projects and personal growth.
The old calculation relies on older experimental results that have been verified by multiple experiments - so if the older value is wrong, it means either the calculation was done wrong (possible), or the experiments all have had a significant correlated systematic error that has never been caught (also possible). However, I’d say both of those things are relatively unlikely, when compared to the probability of some small error in a new paper that was just released that uses a new method that involves lattice calculations. This is all a balance of probabilities argument, but from my experience in the field, I’d say it’s more likely that any errors in calculation or missed systematics would be in the new paper.

However, I’m an experimentalist who has worked close to a lot of this stuff, not an actual theorist, so I’d love to get a theorists interpretation as well.
If it's an exchange program, they usually include it by default.
On most clients spending and receiving is instant.

What takes a maximum of 2 minutes on monero is waiting for your received balance to become available.
I confirm that you can blacklist in YT kids now. You need to be logged in as a parent. You can block individual creators from the main YTK page then.
Youtube is a vapid wasteland.

Is there interesting stuff? Sure. But it won't be recommended to you. And that's what the service really is, a recommendation engine. If there was no algorithm, just a video host, youtube would be much better.
true, but I wasn't replying to that, I was replying to your assertion that nobody should use bare pointers in 2021. there is plenty of use for bare pointers in 2021.
Pretty cool. Why wasn't a ladder used though to make sure you have the different size bands?

Also, next step, iphone thermocycler?
If you can make that material/pictures publicly available (e.g. in a blogpost), I'm sure other people would be interested.
Beanie babies have lower liquidity. Also, you may not be aware because is a relatively recent development, but in mid-2020 there was a fundamental perception shift in the way that Wallstreet viewed bitcoin. nearly all the major the hedge fund managers and institutional investors now believe in bitcoin. so the world's 200 Trillion $ worth of bonds and equities will slowly flow to BTC.

somehow i don't think they're going to spend trillions of dollars for beanie babies.
So? It doesn’t make them right. We’re going on principles here. Politicians go on what’s expedient.
Depending on your mortgage interest rate, have you considered continuing the 18 years and investing your extra cash in index funds? Market returns ~10% over 20 years, so if your mortgage is 6% or less it's in your best 'interest' to continue.
Mm, I think that's true in some circumstances.

However, if people are put in a situation where the only information they have access to—or the only information given an official sanction—is the propaganda, then whether or not it conflicts with their existing biases, they're pretty unlikely to be able to refute it. Especially not over a long period of time.

Also worth noting that saying people "do it to themselves" only applies to adults: the adults who are "doing it to themselves" are, in fact, doing exactly what I described above to their children: providing an "official sanction" to only the propaganda that agrees with their biases, thus ensuring that their children grow up molded in the same way, with no easy way to make an informed choice for themselves.
You're trying to blame something you don't like on something else you don't like, but it doesn't fit.

The censorship and punishment you claim as new is plainly and obviously not a recent development, look at how socialist and capitalist ideas have been treated for the last century. Or how American evangelism has treated "dangerous" ideas for even longer than that. https://www.amazon.com/Scandal-Evangelical-Mind-Mark-Noll/dp... , for instance. Never have we been a country full of people willing to admit we're wrong. But we're increasingly a country of people being pandered to by those who want to make a buck telling us we're not actually wrong.

I think you'd more easily make the OPPOSITE argument, that our norms about what is acceptable speech have eroded too far, that we've taken free speech to an unhealthy extreme (such as how our tech platforms will happily amplify the speech of extremists - in fact, they PREFER to do this, because their algorithms have figured out that it gets more ad views).

If it's acceptable for politicians to respond to losing popularity by claiming fraud - as Trump has been doing for months - then you are on the path that leads here. If the resulting violence is not acceptable, but you ALSO don't want to restrict Trump's speech with stronger norms, what do you propose instead?

How many previous presidents would be inciting this sort of thing? How is that the result of less free speech?
Yes it seems that on some Yosemite machines, the ring buffer that I use to transfer the audio is being read before it is being written. That caused the noise in the beginning and that's probably also what's causing the high delay that dodysw reported. I'll work on the fix tomorrow and then report back. Happy new years, everyone !
He is talking about percentages, not absolute numbers, as in most math departments less than 10% of full professors are women.
Great story! Thanks for this. I'm glad it had a happy ending as so many of these situations do not. It takes courage and vision to admit you have a really big mess on your hands and need expert help.

As for the clueless PM, I have met far too many of these in my travels. If you can't write software, what makes you think you can 'manage' a software development project?
Write an email to your email provider complaining about the security flaw, as they are clearly manipulating links for their purposes.
Everyday acts... depend on the availability of essentials such as water, light and food, items whose acquisition, at least in the vast rural areas, is rarely straightforward.

As a Peace Corps volunteer, I spent 1.5 years in Africa (Botswana), in a village with no electricity. Lighting at night was a really problem. I could read or work for up to an hour, tops, with a paraffin (kerosene) lantern, before the fumes and bad light gave me a headache. A solar-powered overhead light was set up in a community building, and suddenly the adults who worked during the day could take classes at night.

Another very simple technology that even more dramatically changed life in the village was a water tank. The village had a few standpipes, supplied by a pump that often went out for a few days at a time. After the tank was built, the system had enough capacity that you no longer had to worry about stockpiling enough water to last through a few days.
Except you forgot the space. I prefer the format string.
Free wifi is likely less available there than we are used to in the US. I went to Europe last year for vacation and it was hard to find free wifi, too. I almost got stranded in Denmark one day because my credit card didn't work in Europe (no smartchip), and I had counted on using wifi to contact the person I was staying with. Every place in the US that I use for free wifi was charging for it in Europe, and even then it was harder to find paid wifi hotspots than back here in the US. In the US, you can get free wifi at any Starbucks, McDonald's, public library, most coffee shops, a lot of restaurants--we have come to expect it to be in a lot of places. When traveling, only hotels that are aimed at business travelers charge for wifi in the room (because business travelers aren't paying for any of it and thus don't care about the added cost for wifi)--the cheaper hotels offer it for free. When the OP complained about not having hot spots in Medellin, that's the expectation he's got--and he'd probably make the same complaint about Sweden, Denmark, or Switzerland (I know I did).

EDIT: On review, basically what Ivanca said.
I think artificial intelligence is going to rule in 2015. With Cortana going to be released in Windows 10 and Brainasoft doing research to make Braina - http://www.brainasoft.com/braina/ a program that can learn like humans, I think 2015 is the year of AI.
Safe tap water is far from universal. I was just in rio and most households use filters as the public supply is not safe.

> the unspoken reason is that the American Medical Association wants to keep salaries up

I used to believe this, but the AMA claims that it's actually the US Congress that is keeping the number of residencies low [1]:

> The American Medical Association (AMA) adopted policy at its Annual Meeting today to build upon its efforts aimed at modernizing and increasing funding for graduate medical education (GME). The new policy calls for the AMA to continue advocating for legislation that removes the caps on Medicare-funded residency positions, which were imposed by the Balanced Budget Amendment of 1997, to help ensure an adequate physician workforce to meet the nation’s growing needs for health care services.

I'm not an expert on this though, so it's possible that this is all PR doublespeak.

Kotlin is definitely already taken seriously outside of Android. Anecdotally most of the devs I talk to in the web dev world see it as a possible replacement for Ruby/Node.
I enjoy how one can read your comment for two completely opposed meanings.
And my point is that everyone involved in organic certainly doesn’t want their narrative muddied by GMOs. If people accept that modified food is better, that destroys the demand for organic.
sizeof(char) is 1, always. By definition. Sizeof()’s return answer is in units of “number of chars”.
Sure it goes both ways. That’s why a culture of taking offense to minor transgressions rather than giving people the benefit of the doubt is so detrimental. It goes back to that comic where someone asks about racism and the anti-racist tells them it’s emotional labor and to google it, then the white supremacist pulls out all his “research” and talks about white supremacy at length.

That person who can easily be influenced to be a white supremacist doesn’t feel accepted. I don’t really mind accepting people and opening up to them about my own flaws and ideological inconsistencies. Some people are going to fall into the wrong crowds - you can’t win everyone over, but blocking someone out because they’re superficially racist or they have “regressive” views or whatever else is a great way to get a confused person to be very sure about those views.

I had not previously heard of Htmx but this looks neat. My favorite part about Vue is it’s templating system so it feels just like supercharged html. Htmx reminds me of that, but seems to be nice combined with some other templating system like ERB. I’d love to try this out in a rails app to see how I like it compared to a separate JavaScript front and and rails in api mode!
Totally incorrect. The courts didn't and can't grant the States sovereignty. They were sovereign states before entering the union and they relinquished some of their sovereign powers by signing the constitution, but certainly not all of them, or indeed any at all that aren't explicitly enumerated in the constitution.
Valuations in the thinly-traded, easily manipulated secondary market are used to justify venture investments and acquisitions. If the SEC starts finding irregularities and clamping down, that's one more sharp pointy object bursting the bubble ...
Actually I believe the bondsman gets the money either way (cops or bounty hunter) - but the bondsman has to pay the bounty hunter, and the 10% helps cover that.
Why can't I middle-click on them then?

My eyes hurt from trying to read them. :(
The problem here is that as soon as you build a platform in the sea and declare yourself independent from any country, you have to be able to protect it, too. Because nothing would stop someone from taking over your highly intelligent platform with a help of a banal machine gun.

The world outside of developed countries is still a very unhappy place to live. Many micronation island projects failed badly in a few years being taken over by pirates.
There are definitely elements of this involved; I just challenge the idea that this is the whole story. If you're comparing the US to a country where drugs are legal, of course the US crime and incarceration rates are going to be higher on account of that fact. That's not the comparison being offered, though.
vim is a text editor.

Now if you are writting html you will open 4 different browsers in emacs?

You have a window manager for a reason.
If you are an expert in world jugglery you can even make Astrology seem true.

The trick is to use that fact that English words aren't clearly defined. That way in the future you can clarify what you meant :)

For example, Kurzweil said we would have a 20 petaflops super computer by 2009. Right now the fastest super computer is Tianhe-1 and it is capable of 2.5 petaflops. And to that Kurzweil responded that he considers Google to be a giant supercomputer, thanks for telling us after the fact what you meant by super-computer =/
Only if he wouldn't concede that his software (like everyone else's) has deficiencies.
The problem with a big adaptive p2p network is that it is close to impossible to test under real production loads.
You can just provide an allocate() static method and destroy() method on your object that use placement new and call the destructor manually. Or don't and just use placement new/manual destructor calling yourself.

Are you trying to argue that C++ programs can't use custom allocators because of language restrictions? That's demonstrably false; Gecko and WebKit, just to name a couple of C++ codebases I'm relatively familiar with, use custom allocators everywhere.
I'm not saying the current incarnation of NFTs is any good.
> How many of these customers are expecting to simply update their car to FSD over the air? I agree, other manufacturers would not have the responsibility. But one of the main selling points of Tesla has been that, one day, your car will drive itself if you choose to buy $X upgrade with the heavy implication of over the air.

I understand your point but it would be just as simple as that, when you purchase FSD, you are notified that you have to go to the nearest Tesla service to get it, at no extra cost (well, beside the FSD cost obviously). It's an annoyance, sure, but not a big deal.
Does Eternal Terminal have any telemetry? I guess what I'm asking is, does ET phone home?
That post cracked me up. Thank you.
It pretty much has to be this way, otherwise an exhaustive code search would not have a 70% chance of success. The robot is relying on that sloppiness and not doing every number.
Julia always seemed great on paper and definitely is a strong candidate for replacing Matlab. But whenever I tried using it, the user experience seemed much more broken than python or c++. It just seems way easier to structure and work on a python + c++ project than it is to structure and work on a Julia project. A moderately sized sane c++ code base compiles and runs faster than whatever gymnastics Julia performs to create a single 2d plot (literally freezes my laptop for seconds). It also installs gigabytes worth of libraries into global directories by default. The compiler itself is also of questionable quality compared to clang, Swift or Ocaml.
My grandparents' house had a small lane beside it which was a right-of-way or easement (not sure the terminology used here). It was for horse drawn coal wagons so they could reach the building behind my grandparents house. The rear house was facing a main street but there wasn't any driveway or way for the coal wagon to reach the rear of the house.

Then of course coal for home heating became obsolete but for the next 70 years the right-of-way existed. The home behind my grandparents had a driveway and a parking lot added to it. A fence was put up probably 75 years ago, turned posts, very old fence.

The home changed hands many times I even lived in it as a baby when the rear house was divided into apartments.

Now lawyers own the rear house and guess what they want? Yes they are demanding the 75 year-old fence be torn down. And they want to use the right-of-way for vehicles. Only the right-of-way is four maybe at most barely five feet wide bordered by my grandparents old home and the fence of the house beside it.

There it is the use of close to 80 year old disused narrow coal path now demanded by the latest owners of another property.
I didn't say anything about how anyone should have fewer kids. However, intelligence and political attitudes are highly heritable, so when smart educated middle class people (regardless of race or country) decide not to have children so that they can do their small part to "save the planet", what they're actually doing is their own small part in helping ensure that the next generation is turned over to people who are less intelligent and don't share their political beliefs.
I’m one of those vim users - I never use autocomplete, autorefactor or a debugger for that matter. Occasionally I have them available in something like RStudio but I don’t feel like I gain much from it.

I find myself constantly jumping through the code (with / for find) and I have 3 or 4 terminals open on the same display (to see how things are defined in various files) with stackoverflow a key binding away. I definitely don’t remember how exactly I named my variables but I find that at the same time knowing just the variable name is not enough, I also want to see where and how it’s defined. I use “grep -R” a lot for that as well.

Also often I end up editing files over ssh somewhere so then an IDE also wouldn’t be available, and vim always is.

I’ve never tried tools for refactoring. But as mentioned elsewhere that probably wouldn’t work well for functional and/or niche languages.

I generally feel pretty productive, if I had felt that there is a reward to learning these IDEs I wouldn’t have hesitated to do so.
Learning a programming language isn't anywhere near the difficulty of learning a new spoken and written language.
