Sure, of course there are examples of parties flopping. I'm saying that it's not a constant rule.

Like, I don't think the Democrats became less invested in environmental regulation when Nixon created the EPA.

Or with healthcare. Or abortion.

You can't just point to a flop and use it to say "oh both parties are the same and don't really stand for anything."

Oh goodness, that's a terrible talk. I suppose the fact that someone can give such a talk in 2014 with apparent sincerity says something about the state of Perl, but that talk is more or less equivalent to saying "Look, I passed arbitrary user input to `unlink` and it deleted a file I didn't intend! How high up does this conspiracy go?!"
Lego pricing on Amazon is generally bad. Often much worse than what Lego sells the sets for. That is one area I'd love to see Amazon change.
What I see on the Amazon page is that it has 2x8GB. So 16GB should be the correct value.

I'd stick with a RasPi. There's a process to set a boot flag to allow booting from USB media. From there you can install Raspbian (or your other distro of choice) to any USB connected storage device. I've been using the same USB drive partitioned and formatted to 1/4th its capacity (to increase available blocks for wear leveling) for 5 straight years without any issues.

The purpose of the "randomart" visual hash of the key fingerprint is to let you quickly check that you've got the right key, because you recognise it, or can compare it by eye somewhat easily.

If it didn't have structure to the pattern then it would defeat the purpose.
Yes it can! Wasm3 is the fastest WebAssembly interpreter. Since they recently adopted Cosmopolitan it became the most universal one too. Check out the 150kb APE binary they've got on the release page. https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3/releases/tag/v0.4.8

I thought Wifi Direct already did this?

Completely off-topic, but I find it weird when someone is making a comment on the warmth of a community says things like “Love was free and it was custom to hug everyone”. So it was normal, then?

It probably has something to do with being born in Brazil/RJ, where hugging everyone is the norm.
I use MySQL. From what I’ve read Postgres is better.

As a developer I’ve used MySQL a lot, installed it myself in local environment and used it with fairly large tables. It’s very reliable and I’m generally comfortable with it. Once it’s running I don’t give it much thought frankly, so I’m not itching to change.
Parking tickets are far more lucrative than parking meters--it's actually against the interests of meter enforcement to do this.
I get your point, but by turning off HT or only running processes on 1 of 2 threads you can ensure that only a single thread is executing on a single core at a time.

Your point about cache misses is well taken. HT is good overall.
I did a low-carb diet long before I knew I had celiac, but it still affected me (and in fact I was frustrated when the low-carb promise of energy did not materialize; in hindsight I now know it was because it was dominated by the celiac-induced problems). The problem is that a low-carb dieter may not feel bad about having small quantities of wheat in their diet (very lightly breaded meats, or any of the other numerous otherwise-fairly-low-carb items that have a fine dusting of flour in them), and it only takes small quantities to still be affected.

I eat to manage my glycemic index now, but I unfortunately can't honestly split what is that part and what is getting off of gluten, I just know both have proved necessary to me. But of the two, for someone with celiac getting off the gluten is by far the more important.

One app I loved for the iPhone, "Air Mouse" decided it made more sense to make a new app for the iPad: "Mobile Mouse"

First I was confused. Is this the same app? Their naming is all over the place.

Then I was angry. The iPad can run the iPhone version I already paid for just fine and it works surprisingly well. So why do I have to pay for a new version?

Well the cost isn't too much, so I don't really mind paying again. But... while I'm looking maybe there are other apps? Sure enough there's one I never heard of, Rowmote Pro. And it's a universal app so it'll be very consistent on both devices.

So I paid for that, installed it on both my iPhone and iPad, and uninstalled Air Mouse. They lost me as a customer by not having a universal app.

I would say you need the laws of science's permission to do anything.
Go's philosophy is to consider errors and failures are part of solving problems, not something "exceptional" that should make you fail and refer to a higher authority. Error-checking and error-reporting is not something that is distracting the normal flow of your function : it is part of the normal flow of your function.

Don't get me wrong; there is a lot wrong with the computing world. I just don't think this surly rant does much to illuminate the issues.

12 gig of email is a seriously mismanaged inbox unless you're hoarding attachments too. I personally have a massive aversion to deleting mail because I always believe there is that one message that might get me out of the sh1tter in some edge case NSA/KGB/taxman/exGirlfriend scenario but.... 12 Gig!? That's like 12 copies of the encyclopaedia Britannica. Nobody is that interesting.

I get 30 mails a day and with minimal every-3-months basic management (10 minutes max each time) I keep it under a gig. This is not that hard. Chucking stuff out ruthlessly is actually liberating, and the converse is that keeping all this crud indiscriminately is tantamount to a historic drag on your life.

That said, maybe those new 6-gig spindles have a life after all...
The relevant variable is not strictly the volume of communication, rather the density of important information contained therein. I frequently get annoyed by the heaps of redundant and useless verbiage that somehow makes its way to me. The medium of text messages (especially since smartphones have become ubiquitous) is probably the worst culprit. We need more incentives to make our communications concise.

Would be great if I could adjust the bass myself a bit. Some songs are now just a bit too much. Furthermore vocals are missing that spark and sound quite dull. I have the idea that you are boosting the mids which pushes high freqs a bit to the background.
> The Haskell types often seem to think that the computing they do is the same as the computing that everybody else does

Seeing as Haskell is used for general computing (including embedded software) the computing is the same. I know what you ate getting at, but I don't think it is based on facts or anything rational.
Yup, education could definitely improve.

Something else I would really like to see added to curriculums is a focus on npm and modularity. Even just the basics like semver, common unit testing practices, etc.

Using cellular automata to generate music may not be new, but I haven't seen this specific method used. Nor have I seen anything that compares to the way it subtly changes as it develops while still maintaining a steady beat without resorting to resetting the pattern as in your example. (Correct me if I am wrong though; I'm not a musician.)
In which case, validating and ensuring the flow of patents coming in doesn't stop becomes a business interest to them.
I guess I'm not disagreeing with you, but I personally find his style exhilarating. I mean, come on:

Dijkstra used to say “beauty is our business”, to which I would add that life is too short, and bright minds too precious, to waste on ugly things. And if you take this point of view seriously, the best and the brightest are drawn to, rather than repulsed by, the field. Pace some of my colleagues at a Major Institute of Technology, students absolutely do love to program and do love the beauty of code, provided that the code you ask them to write is, in fact, beautiful. There is nothing more dreary than the corporate bureaucracy of OOP, and few things more lovely than the mathematical elegance of FP.
The math of research-level statistics is so hard many statisticians don't do it, and economists often gripe about not being able to justify even basic statistical approaches.

The financial industry has in the past had a great deal of interest in this space, and so I believe there is a good deal that can be developed - if you could get data. After the recession, I would not be surprised if interest wanes.

I don't actually know what I'm talking about, but I would not recommend this line to everyone. There is much that is frustrating - biostatistics has better posed questions.
I think this is really smart. Think how insane garage sales can be now when people can accept credit card payments. Or being able to split checks at a restaurant (when the waiter/waitress wont do it) by charging the others at the table while you pay the restaurant. Sure it looks like Square is losing money on this, but I think it was on HN where I read that Square was already processing $1mil a day. I'd also assume that this $10 credit won't be around forever.

Either way, the simplicity of Square is what will make consumers interested.
I don't think the film grain was added separately. LuxRender uses path tracing, which inherently produces noise that decreases as the computation progresses.

I think you're quoting the salaries from the big firms who are only looking to hire the best people, and even then that might be a starting MS/Ph.D salary for a specific role (e.g., machine learning) as opposed to general dev. I can see the Googles, Amazons, Apples and Facebooks of the world paying that for newly-graduated grad students, but that's hardly the norm.
Another thought I just had: approach your design like you were an online car salesmen - not the Simplified Wikipedia of cars - or that you earned an affiliate commission on every car "sold" through your site.

That way, you would be more focused on better conversion rather than exhaustive classification, and have a completely different incentive. This would affect the categorization and user experience significantly.
So after doing a quick analysis of the data on my iPhone, I've come to the conclusion that this isn't a huge issue at all.

First, I'll start with the WiFi data (WifiLocation table):
Among the information captured is MAC, Timestamp, and Lat/Long. I have a total of 118,640 records in my table. I did a "SELECT DISTINCT MAC FROM WifiLocation", and got... 118,640 records. This tells me that it's not "tracking my every move" via Wifi location since there's a single entry for each MAC. The question might be, is it updating the Timestamp when I'm near a specific Wifi Network? My guess is no. I did the backup and analysis this morning, April 20th. Yet the last entries in my database are from April 16th. This tells me that it's not an always on tracker and that it's not updating timestamps.

Next, I looked at the CallLocation table:
The same thing held true with this table. The last entry on my phone was from April 16th. Also, I have 6300 entries in my CellLocation table. I decided to start restricting the precision of the Lat/Long to see if there were duplicates that would indicate "tracking". At 5 decimal points, there were no duplicates. At 4 decimals, there were a handful that had 2 dups. At 3 decimals, there were more dups, with the most being 6. At this point I still had 5672 uniques. At 2 decimals, the most had 89 and I had 2468 uniques. At 1 it really went down, obviously, and I was down to 253 uniques. The other thing I noticed was that there was no regular timing of entries, and that when there were entries, a large number of them had the same timestamp.

So based on my analysis, this isn't a feature that enables detailed tracking of a user. It will allow you to see if a user has been in a certain location the first time, but that's the extent of it. For instance, I could see that I made a trip to Washington DC in late October of last year. But you can't really tell my movements around my home town with any amount of precision. My assumption, like others, is that Apple is using this to enable easier use of Location based services. I assume (which I'm going to test), that whenever a user enables a Location Based app (Google Maps, FourSquare), iOS updates this database with all local cell towers/wifi locations and the Latitude/Longitude. The more comprehensive the local database is, the quicker/easier it is for Location Based Services to help pinpoint a users location. Instead of waiting for GPS to spin up and get a satellite lock, it will be able to get a more accurate lock off of cell tower/wifi triangulation.
This seems a bit weird. They claim that they think they will reach an efficiency of 12%, like normal solar cells, but that's of course neglecting the fact that only a fraction (max half) of the sunlight is in the IR. So the amount of energy you'd get is still only half (not that that is insignificant).
Call it bread and circuses but when people complain about the ever growing "wealth gap", I can't help but feel rich anyway.

I've got a music player that stores all my music in my pocket. It also happens to be a global communicator right out of the sic-fi I loved as a kid. All the money in the world couldn't have bought half so much in 1924.

If I have to suffer Steve Jobs flying around on his personal jet and tearing down his mansion to build a better one to have this, let it be. Or should I say "make it so"?
It's an interesting idea, I am simply mentioning the practical limitations.

At this point it's a question of how cheaply they can scale it up and how much you can improve the efficiency. Looking at some of their numbers they block ~30+% of the light to gain ~1.3% of the energy you are better off with smaller windows and a high efficiency solar cell around the window. AKA 10% smaller windows block 10% of the light + a 20% efficient solar cell = 2% efficiency. Granted, there is probably a market even in it's current state.
i havent tried showoff.io and little curious about how about internal reference translations? for example css files?

translates to

???
The precision was limited intentionally. From the FAQ:

To make it less useful for snoops, the spatial and temporal accuracy of the data
has been artificially reduced. You can only animate week-by-week even though the
data is timed to the second, and if you zoom in you’ll see the points are
constrained to a grid, so your exact location is not revealed. The underlying
database has no such constraints, unfortunately.
You're right, missed the non-essential sentence

So the answer is then.. attacking for no particular reason
I don't know Google's rationale, but static linked libraries usually run a little faster than dynamic linked ones.
Lots of people left Wuhan before the lockdown though. Also lots of people still travelled for the Chinese New Year internally. January 10th is the beginning of travel season, Wuhan was locked down on the 23rd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_2019%E2%80%932...

Isn't this just what the lisp world calls symbols?
I guess food, detergent, toiletries, batteries, basic clothes, other cleaning supplies, small tools like screwdrivers and such.

Of course the essentials people want are the ones that wipe bacteria or protect you from it, as well as the FOMO items like toilet paper, but hardly their fault since they don’t control the production of those things. The best they can do is prioritize their supply chain to get those goods into warehouses.

She is well known in literary circles, but I didn't think of her as a household name. My friend the poet knew her from Handmaid's Tale, but her poetry was less well known. (There are so many poets that even people who read a lot of poetry can easily miss a great one.)
> One problem is that you aren't allowed to make mistakes in social situations anymore without facing extreme consequences

Wasn't this more the case for our ancestors? You make a mistake, and you're banished from the tribe or you don't reproduce. In modern times, the stakes aren't as high, but our emotions haven't yet recalibrated.
One thing I've noticed about authoritarians is that they have been pretty successful at categorizing anything outside of their Overton window as "far", a corollary of branding authoritarianism as "centrist".

> You'd do a lot better with one strong example rather than seven weak examples

Tend to disagree. It's easy to dismiss one example as "well, medicine is special because XYZ." Multiple examples are the core aspect of showing a general pattern.

He could probably have stopped at 3, 4, or 5 though, not 7.
> People just don't trust authorities anymore, because authorities time and time again have misled them.

Honestly, I don't think it's that. I think the cause is the perception that the "authorities" have a different set of values than "you" (and they're trying to impose them through orthogonal expertise-derived authority). Cataloging all the times the authorities have been misleading is a downstream activity to help justify pre-existing mistrust.
"instantaneously" in the sense of first having to read the first byte to know how many bytes to read. So it's a two-step process. Given the current maximum length and SIMD, detecting the end-byte of my scheme is easily parallelizable for up to 4 bytes, which conveniently goes to 24 bits, enough for all current unicode code points, so there is no waiting for termination. Furthermore, to decode a UTF-8 characters needs bits extraction and shifting of all bytes, so there is no practical gain of not looking at every byte. It actually makes the decoding loop more complex.

Also, the human readability sounds fishy. Humans are really bad at decoding high-order bits. For example can you tell the length of a UTF-8 sequence that would begin with 0xEC at a glance? With my scheme, either the high bit is not set (0x7F or less), which is easy to see you only need to compare the first digit to 7. Or the high bit is set and the high nibble is less than 0xC, meaning there is another byte, also easy to see, you compare the first digit to C.

The quote also implicitly mis-characterized the fact that in my scheme an incorrect character would also not be decoded if interrupted since it would lack the terminating flag (No byte > 0xC0).
It likely does two-way batch optimization (backward in time and forward). So, it has all the information it needs to know that a full loop is closed and that minimal-jitter paths include the full rotation. That is, a smooth path through "image space" is a loop.
The two solutions don't seem to overlap at all. I'm not a lawyer, but it doesn't seem like they'd have a strong case.
A related thing is normalization of deviance. You start removing safety because you see nothing bad happened before, until you are at a point where almost no safety rules are respected anymore. You can see this a lot in construction videos.
Interestingly, Atari was bought by Jack Tramiel who was the founder of Commodore Business Machines that made the Commodore Vic-20, Commodore 64 and more.

January 1984, Jack Tramiel essentially got booted out of the company he founded (Commodore).

July 1984, Jack Tramiel bought the Consumer Division of Atari Inc. from Warner Communications.
