As your example numbers here show though estates are often better for storage than crossovers. So there must be other factors behind crossover popularity.

Their being higher is a big factor I bet (less stooping and more road visibility, although the latter is less of a factor as they get more popular).
Here’s a list of a few:

the sticking point how is online poker different from say going to Nevada and playing poker in their venues?

Case-in-point there is several line items in several US Federal income tax forms to report legal state gambling as income.

the Nevada casinos sue banks to move winnings and losses..so why is that legal and not this?
In brief: I prefer Haskell, but I think it has its flaws, and I understand why we're not using it as a teaching language.

In long:

Haskell has much better concrete syntax, better library and tool support, a more active community, and is subjectively nicer to program in.

Haskell is lazy, SML eager. Haskell catches a lot of flack about this from SML fans. I think the typical arguments against laziness (makes it hard to reason about space usage; just a special-case of eagerness) are not false but overblown (it's harder but not that hard once you get used to it; and yes, you can simulate laziness in an eager language using thunks etc, but that's a Turing tarpit argument). However, in the end I'm not sure laziness is worth it.

Haskell is pure and SML is not. I don't mind the impurity of SML (or any other language), but I think Haskell's purity has some nice side-benefits for a high-level FP language (eg. allows more compiler optimizations). I'm also grateful to it for being the main reason Haskell has support for monads, which I think are a powerful unifying idea well worth their weight even if you don't need them to encapsulate I/O & side-effects.

The big difference is, of course, their module systems. Everything Harper says about Haskell in this regard (https://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/modules-mat...) is true, but I don't think it's as big of an issue as he makes out. Typeclasses give you 90% of what you want, in a much more concise package. I've perhaps wanted ML-style modules & functors once or twice when writing Haskell, and I wish I had typeclasses all the time when writing SML. I could say more on this topic, but this response is already overlong.
The man has a point. We should consider using sexps more often when developing internal DSLs.

That's not to say (stupid iPad) that we dont still need define_method and instance_eval; however, decoupling the language definition/API from the language impl is good sauce.
I should mention that I do physical backups every few months. But like other comments here said, unless there is a server data loss, and the client decides to delete everything from your other computers, only then is everything really gone. I also have laptops who sync once every few days or so. If something ever happens, my laptop will almost certainly have an almost-up-to-date version.
The author is right, if by broken he means insanely difficult. The number of things that a person has to be aware of to launch even a simple web application is simply daunting. Even after launch, there are even more pitfalls and gotchas awaiting. We've come to accept this insanity as normal, and perhaps the time has come to demand better.
I think it's this: you should tell Youtube/Google to give you the amount of money they think is right given how many times your music has been plaid on their service (they know), given the actual dues according to copyright law thrown to the wind.

How much is deserved, from how much was earned, according to the law? Nobody knows; it would take an army of lawyers and musicians to figure that out. How do you price art? How do you price the emotions felt when someone heard a song? You can't. No one can. I felt an emotion once, listening to a song, and the person that made that song is dead. What was the dollar amount attributable to that emotion, and what does that dead person need with that money? There's no answer; you can't put a price on emotion. And when you get down to it, that's what music is--emotion. Emotions don't have a price, music doesn't have a price--there are some people that would like to tell you otherwise, and they're wrong.

Someone should get paid, yes. The persons who profited from that performance should ask the person that heard that song: how much should we charge you for feeling love? If those parties can come an agreement regarding what that cost, then yes, that's what it cost. Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.

I don't really want to call myself an iOS developer. I just want to port a simple web app to iOS, and my options are learning just enough iOS development to do it myself, or hiring a real iOS developer. So I'm curious if this framework would tip the scale in favor of the first option.
I'm wondering if it's possible to turn this problem into a solution. I don't know the numbers, so I'm probably off by orders of magnitude, and maybe it's a losing energy proposition, but:

One of the biggest harms of global warming/climate change/whatever you want to call whats happening is the sea level rising. Is it possible we could use enough sand collected from the seabed to offset this sea rise?

There was a story recently on HN about a guy who splits his work hours into 30 minutes of work and 30 minutes of distraction.

I still have my timer I used through college except I did 45 minutes on 15 minutes off. It works amazingly well for things that you don't want to be working on. Now that I work on mostly interesting problems the hardest part is getting into the zone, but once I'm there I can work for hours.
yes because the project is 10% behind schedule

It doesn't matter, really. I don't think that the mechanics you are selling to are going to care one way or the other if they are buying their sparkplugs from Acme Auto Supplies or Zenith Auto Supplies, or anything in between.

Write down the first dozen names that occur to you. Scratch off any that are hard to pronounce, or hard to spell. Scratch off any that are used by direct competitors, or where the domain name is not available.

That's it, really.

What are things I should consider when creating a small business?

The most important thing to consider when creating a small business is to prioritize, and work on what's most important. This isn't it.

How about "Majestic Auto Supplies"? There, done. What's next?
Yes, but you have done the equivalent of walking into a lab and complaining that what they are doing isn't cutting edge enough, as you looked at an experiment and all it did was change a flame from yellow to blue, before it being pointed out that you were just looking at a bunsen burner.
This is pretty damn creepy....
Hmm, I’ve heard multiple people talk about jumping in during the housing bubble because they thought if they didn’t buy right then the price would keep going up. And I’d say that there’s pretty good evidence that people will buy things sooner if they think that waiting would entail a price increase (which is why sales are so effective).

So if people are expecting the price to rise, they’re more likely to make a purchase, and if they aren’t expecting the price to rise they’re less likely to. I don’t think it’s too much of a jump to think that if the price of something is going to go down next week, people are more likely to hold off on purchases.

Though I imagine a bigger issue is the need for investment. When there’s stagnation firms tend to sit on a lot of cash, because they believe that money slowly losing value (low inflation) or even gaining value (deflation) is preferable to the few and possibly risky investment opportunities they see. This causes credit and investments to dry up. This hording behavior, as well as the wage inflexibility mentioned above, ends up being a major drag on the economy. On the other hand, with a decent rate of inflation firms are going to be making sure that their money is working, because if it’s just sitting there it’s going to be losing money year after year.
TL;DR: is for more demanding app requirements.
For end-user apps: offline maps support. Google Maps has it as app (and not everywhere), we provide SDK where it works globally. For more demanding needs you can add 3D objects to map, use it for HUD navigation (Google terms prohibit it), use completely own/custom base map etc. See https://www.nutiteq.com/nutiteq-sdk/comparison/ for more more differences and similarities

It also takes time for manufacturers to design and produce. Even if someone had rushed out of the gate in 2018, they would probably not have ad products ready for a couple of years (and last year there was covid too) - and this with the most basic tech, which we know actually took significant time to be refined.

I think a more realistic timeframe for usable eInk patents is 20 years from the first Kindle release, so 2027 or so.
If you're not injecting the CO2 underground in a stable form, how does this reverse climate change? It sounds like it's simply a cheaper option in some circumstances for sourcing CO2 from the air (compared to traditional solutions by Airgas). Not to take away from your efforts! I think this is a fine improvement to CO2 process needs if you can replace more expensive air extraction techniques, but it doesn't contribute to improving climate change without sequestering the harvested atmospheric CO2.
And the rub is if you fail to apply it liberally enough you end up with no completed software or difficult to maintain software because someone went around applying every micro-optimisation in the book regardless of how nessasary or appropriate it might be.

own tertiary education group is Great.

I think you managed to combine strawman and false dichotomy fallacies there. Kudos, I suppose.

There are plenty of folks with postsecondary education who think highly of America, and I'm one of them. It is highly flawed, and also a pretty good place. We get a lot of things right.

Let me be crystal clear: what I'm opposed to is simplistic, jingoistic, one-sided "America is the greatest thing ever" fantasies of American exceptionalism. This is how my primary and secondary education, in a fairly decent public school district in the 80s and 90s, generally described America.

And that's mild, as far as "American exceptionalism" goes. My dad's wife is a member of a radical Christian sect. On a regular basis, she mails me glossy pamphlets and brochures describing how America's greatness is literally foretold in the Bible. There are significant numbers of Americans who believe this wholeheartedly.

There is a clear divide between such delusional fantasies, and a more nuanced view of America. But that doesn't mean all of us on the rational side of the divide think it's an awful place or something like that.

As for me, I don't even have a postsecondary degree. Just some postsecondary education. Not exactly ivory tower stuff. But some of it was eye opening. Ideally our public primary/secondary schools would just teach America's flaws as well as its strengths.
I mean, dislike of taxation is apparently such a part of Greek culture that they've turned tax avoidance into a national sport, right? Presumably it's not just us.

Well, if you read the whole post, this doesn't actually have much to do with Fair Use. It's Al's personal policy (and I think it's an admirable one) of getting artists' permission.

Though considering he already posted the song online, presumably against Lady GaGa's wishes, I don't really get why he doesn't just go ahead and put it on the album as well. Perhaps not having artist permission makes the label's lawyers nervous.
While there is a right-left divide, I think it is actually a different divide than what you suggest, because even R&D solutions propopsed by the left are shunned by the right.

The issue that doesn't come up nearly as much, but you'll hear if you talk to hardcore social conservatives is that this planet is for humans to do as we please. And I've been in discussions where they will quote specific bible verses. Their view is that the secular left doesn't believe in God and therefore thinks they need to fix a problem that doesn't exist.
You are right. Apparently I cant read.
I really like the design of the site. Nice work.
I don't think sufficient understanding of how computers work can come from just reading a book. If it could, you should read a book about how computers work, instead of trying to glean that through the lens of C programming. Understanding comes from doing.
I haven't used Netbeans, but IntelliJ is fantastic. The editor is fast and responsive, and features such as completion, inspections and refactoring work very well. Most of the professional Java developers I know use IntelliJ.

Indeed. Its UI is almost exactly what my professor drew out on the blackboard during the pointers introduction. Still took a while to sink in though.
The future of transportation is; separate different modes of transportation as much as possible.

When I was younger, I was regularly biking in between the car lanes( sometimes very risky ), skipping the bicycle paths since they were much slower or simply missing. I would almost always get there before I would with a car or a bus, and parking wasn't a problem. If the lanes were completely separated this could be done safely.

From my experience the roundabouts where the bicycle lane isn't separated, are the least safe for bicyclists, out of any type of intersection. I think the cause is that apart from normal intersections with stop signs or lights, where stopping is the usual procedure, the roundabouts are fluid where drivers stop much less and thus "prefer" not to stop or just think they have the right of way.
The U.S. does this too. Happens maybe once a month around San Jose, for example. Usually you can avoid it because Google Maps detects the huge back-up and routes you around it :) if you know what to look for (half-mile stretch of red traffic in a place where that's not the norm on a week-end evening), it's generally not hard to spot.
I don't recommend Goretex, or other jackets with membranes, for outdoor activities (unless it's raining or it's really windy). They are not nearly as breathable as regular clothes, which means you will be sweating more. And even when you wear wool or a polyester fleece they won't warm as well as when they are dry.

This sound counter-intuitive but a lighter non-membrane jacket works better for me, both in terms of comfort and longer-term retention of body heat (better breathability -> less sweat -> smaller cooling effect).
While I did snicker at the thought of a Vantablack'ed Cybertruck, I think it'd be a dangerous vehicle to have on the roads - your visibility would be so low.
I'll describe the situation as I believe it was at my company before we were acquired by MegaCorp. HR was in charge of processing applications but had no influence over which applications were considered. They enforced whatever absolute requirements the hiring manager specified for a particular position, but considering we have senior developers with no college coursework, much less college degrees, I bet our hiring managers were wise enough to specify very few absolute requirements. Our HR personnel knew nothing whatsoever about software development skills and were not expected to.

However, HR did process the applications, and the result of that was that a manager with an open position would get a big stack of resumes on his desk every few days. The key word here being "resumes," rather than "applications." I never heard a manager say anything about reading cover letters, or saying things like "so-and-so's cover letter says he's interested in <blah>." When we met to discuss candidates, the only sources of information people mentioned were resume, phone screen, and interview.

So what's the point of the cover letter, you ask? I guess it varies. In my company, the cover letter was evidently only read (or more likely simply discarded) by HR, who had no input in hiring decisions. In a smaller organization, the hiring manager might see the entire application, including the cover letter, which the manager would most likely ignore. In a larger organization, ignorant HR folks might be making judgments about candidates' suitability for the job, and in that case the cover letter might mean a great deal, since the resume would be gibberish to them.
Excellent questions, and a good discussion of the range of expected answers. I particularly like the discusison of "Are open-source projects more or less secure than proprietary ones?":

My main goal here is to get them to show me pros and cons for each. If I just get the “many eyes” regurgitation then I’ll know he’s read Slashdot and not much else. And if I just get the “people in China can put anything in the kernel” routine then I’ll know he’s not so good at looking at the complete picture.
"Absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence" is false. Absence of evidence can very well mean evidence of absence depending on how hard we've looked. People have looked really hard for evidence of Bigfoot and found nothing worthwhile, and it is reasonable to conclude that Bigfoot does not exist.

Well done by Senator Wyden! The headline's a little too optimistic, though. The bill will be back next session -- and the new Congress is likely to be just as friendly to the content industries (who are driving the bill). So it's a great time to support Wyden, EFF and others who are on the right side of this issue.

This comment was made in 2004. Where are our '3D' storage devices?
speaking for myself:
1. Shows my friends what I'm playing. This leads often to impromptu multiplayer in a diverse social group that never did so before. Fire up world of goo then get a couple of messages from friends who were 'away' a minute ago to ask "lets kill zombies."
2. keeps everything mostly up to date. Patches usually roll out in hours of their release and are automatically applied.
3. Steam Cloud. Settings, cd keys, savegames - all stored between my laptop and desktop without any effort.
4. Goddamn easy to buy.
> comic that states things accurately

Not entirely accurately. It pulls a subtle sleight of hand in saying "It's just that the people listening think you're an asshole, and they're showing you the door." It's not actually the people listening showing you the door - it's the owners of the social media in question.

But "the people", or small personal websites, are much more sympathetic than multinational behemoths like Facebook or Twitter, with ten to a hundred times more members than most countries have people. But it's not like such a massive difference in size causes a qualitative difference that might merit different treatment..
I was going to ask if it's still on. Yes, I'm intending to. I need to remember/find out where and when.
