This article needs an update, but many points remain true to this day.
Why, is not using it recently the second most common source of Jira hate?
Really like your comment.

And yeah, even cephalization (e.g., evolution of "heads" in almost all species) is a neat artifact of this relentless concentration of power in even a single species. We rightfully cry out against human subjugation, but never cry out for the skin cell on the back of the fist we raise against that. But it's maybe similar processes taking place and emerging within different strata of matter

I'm genuinely not sure what to think of that...!
> difficulty of creating a decent looking avatar, and other interface issues

How does burning a chunk of electricity on NFTs actually help this? In detail please.
> NOBODY told Musk to make reusable rockets. Nobody from government came over and said "Do this for us because we want to save money".

That's exactly what they did.

I agree, but I think that most problems have to be from the real world to keep non-geek kids interested. This method is actually being experimented by a math teacher named Dan Meyer. Here it's his TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover....
I meant video/audio surveillance equipment. My comments are getting a lot of downvotes and I fully expected it. Before Snowden revealed what he had to say, imagine if you had mentioned exactly the same things he said, surely people would have labeled you as crazy.
I belive this to be incorrect. How could the fed send money directly to your account currently?
> The consensus at the time

It was an angry article by iFixit that started the whole controversy. They could very well have done it for reasons related to licensing, or machinering, or space savings, or who knows what else. The fact the MBP 17" never used them, while the smaller models did, hints towards that.

You may have taken the stories at the time at face value, but within weeks you could buy pentalobe screwdrivers and they surely did not cost 'tens of thousands of dollars' to develop - screws are cold pressed and very simple to produce.
The mainstream was never going to be part of the tinkerers and hackers. But the depressing thing is to what extent todays hackers have become consumers.

But, we've still got linux and a lot of hardware support for that. I'll likely be the last bastion of general purpose computing.
I don't think it's curiosity about computers - it's more general curiosity about how certain kinds of systems work. It isn't even about appliances and mass consumption. That's a relevant view, but not a very revealing one.

Computers are an idealised example of an organised system which is assembled/operated by solving puzzles. Some people enjoy solving those kinds of puzzles. Most people don't. The first kind of person doesn't really understand the second kind of person - and vice versa.

Something interesting and disturbing has been happening over the last twenty years. The Internet stopped being a technological puzzle and became a social and political puzzle.

This kind of "cultural engineering" - where the currency is attention, influence, patronage, and sometimes actual spending, not puzzle prowess - appeals to a completely different kind of person. And these people have been driving the development of the Internet for a while now.

People who like solving computer puzzles have been completely blindsided by this and continue to act as if technology is still somehow primary - when it isn't, and hasn't been for a while.
That guy sent a rocket to space and had it land itself so...
It (QEMU) actually uses the older https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor apis which has lower level control. QEMU provides device emulation and Hypervisor.framework provides access to CPU’s virtualization hardware. Virtualization.framework is the new macOS 11 api that emulates the entire system but has much worse device emulation support and also lacks framebuffer emulation (I think)
I think it's referring to stablecoins like USDC more than traditional crypto.

Also, why would they wait until it becomes a thing? It's clearly just getting bigger so might as well do something before it actually becomes a "real" competitor.
I don't get why people downvoted you. I make Shopify apps too and I abide to the same TOS.

OP clicked "I have read and agree" on the TOS when signing up and they are now complaining that the fees are unreasonable?!
It may well have been, though I don't remember any glasses.
You do realize the US is doing or has done all of those inhumane actions attributed to NK? The proof is a simple Google search away. You might, instead, ask why you are so willing to immediately engage in such defensive argumentation in support of the US? Is it, perhaps, that you have been trained in a variety of ways to connote certain negative emotions with NK that you, however, do not connote with the US?
Let me know when you guys figure out whether or not salt is bad for me.

So I would imagine you intend to buy and sell coin by hawking your paper wallet on the street corner?
Also, one more point..
if you watch any local news item in US, the dominant theme in it is "How much money will it pump into economy". In India, The dominant question is..."How much safety and security will this cause". Unfortunately, There is never a discussion of the benefits vs costs of this security.
"Neu5Gc accumulated in the tumors."

I'm not sure that that makes sense from a biological perspective, for many reasons. Neu5Gc itself is not terribly likely to be carcinogenic, its mode of action is to enervate the immune system. If anything, accumulation of Neu5Gc in tumors should mitigate cancer by triggering antibody-directed cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
Although I agree that it isn't really possible to have a "Ruby-like" syntax for a low level language since a lot of the syntax depends on Ruby being dynamic, it still seems like valid ambition, as long as you know that limitation.

I would love to have a form of C / C++ with iterators and blocks and without all the curly braces and assorted cruft like 5 different ascii symbols being used in 20 different contexts (actually, Ruby does that too, when will language designers start using a few additional symbols to improve cognitive load?).
You simply need to observe the rule that event times should be specified in the time zone of the event itself.

If the event is a meeting, then the meeting organizer will be in charge of setting the appropriate time zone.
What do you mean by Soviets never bought into it? Did they think they could win without themselves being destroyed by American nukes?
> You literally have people creating lists to blackball anyone who supports trump

Like the way Clarence Thomas's wife made lists of people not loyal to Trump to be fired?

"Axios first reported that a "well-connected network of conservative activists" is drawing up lists of officials they perceive to be anti-Trump, who are then flagged to be fired and replaced with Trump loyalists."

Seems to me a certain leader followed this same playbook circa 1939.
I haven't used the Web service but I probably will. Not having to pick my phone up to use it will be a boon.

I'm always logged in so this is a non-issue for me.

I have cursed the lack of a desktop client often.
Just read your comment after posting the exact same thing above... it seems the key we both figured out is that you have a secure tool that does the work for the guard. But if this is the case then the problem isn't a problem at all: b/c with a secure tool you don't need to worry about a guard who blabbs... but that certainly didn't seem to be in the universe of hte problem that was posed
The biggest problem I see is that while I can log in with Facebook there is no easy way to log out without manually revoking access. Other than that I would be interested in seeing how the community progresses since each new member will bring in bounty points, so the people with bounty points to spare will end up being new members and old members who had won bounty points from new members.

If you get a bunch of members it would be really fascinating to watch how the bounty points flow.
Doesn't anyone else find the solution a bit problematic: sure great concept but unless the guards have a black box tool which is secured and can churn out Y from X, they will have to know the function to prove that Y was congruent with an X...and if they know the function, so too would the enemy. On the other hand if they have a secure tool that does this fine, but this seems to simplify the problem considerably b/c the key is that the guard doesn't need to know anything at all: the tool does all the work.
I could see a judge sending you to prison for this all the same.
Very cool project! I have used nearly every framework under the sun and React is, by far, my favorite. It's getting better every release. The concepts it introduces are sound, and I don't think I'd ever do frontend development any other way.

That said, Riot is a very encouraging take on React - and I think it may have a very solid place in apps that need to be very light and fast. Perhaps it's perfect for prototyping. I will try to find a small project for it.

One question; is there any way to render to a string so Riot can be used server-side?
If someone is saying “the science is settled”, I immediately dismiss them. That’s how how science works, and when you use that phrase you are making a religious statement not a scientific one.
The greatest mystery of the development of agriculture and organized building is why it happened so late. It appears to have begun spontaneously at distant, disconnected centers (South America and Turkey/Palestine) almost as soon as the sea level rose, suggesting it only needed the right conditions to flower.

Earlier ice ages made life in higher latitudes difficult, but the tropics were never cold. We find no hint that the developments we know of were products of earlier development--aside from the decidedly mature stone carving at Göbekli Tepe, which has no known antecedents, although they must exist somewhere.

The unique event was the Younger Dryas cold spell, with its very sharp rises in ocean level at onset and for long after. How that provoked development is a matter of conjecture, but we know that many people must have been displaced by rising water, which would have forced openness to other changes as a matter of survival.
Findings: ICU assistance was required by 110 (11.8%) participants. Out of 551 patients treated with calcifediol at admission, 30 (5.4%) required ICU, compared to 80 out of 379 controls (21.1%; p<0.0001). Logistic regression of calcifediol treatment on ICU admission, adjusted by age, gender, linearized 25(OH)D levels at baseline, and comorbidities showed that treated patients had a reduced risk to require ICU (RR 0.18 [95% CI 0.11;0.29]). Baseline 25(OH)D levels inversely correlated with the risk of ICU admission (RR 0.53 [95% CI 0.35;0.80]). Overall mortality was 10%. In the Intention-to-treat analysis, 36 (6.5%) out of 551 patients treated with calcifediol at admission died compared to 57 patients (15%) out of 379 controls (p=0.001). Adjusted results showed a reduced mortality for more of 60%. Higher baseline 25(OH)D levels were significantly associated with decreased mortality (RR 0.40 [95% CI 0.24;0.67]). Age and obesity were also predictors of mortality.
Yes. It was a csv table with all the configs for physics engine for all vehicles.
Dutch and Finnish are known for being frank and to the point which is why they are quite well regarded in Sweden.
Swedish is more conflict averse, always trying to protect each other and often failing because what happens is that people read in between the lines instead, which is much worse.

disclaimer: I’m Swedish.
My preferred method is to run 90% of my stuff in a digitalocean coreos-based docker container, with the mosh-chrome extension to access it. The only things I don't run in the cloud is my browser (use the chromebook chrome browser, naturally) and a tiny number of cases where I have to run a tool on a full linux machine (use crouton, as per OP).

In this way, I can switch dev machines without missing a beat... just need to paste in my ssh key into the new chromebook's mosh-chrome, and I have a 100% functional dev machine again (sans the crouton-based stuff, of course, which is why I avoid using crouton as much as possible).
This is the result of automation and AI. These people are economically irrelevant. We need to alter our economy to be entirely based on education and enlightenment.
Hmmm. I get nice templating and very straightforward routing with Bottle. Why shouldn't I use that, especially since I can review the whole codebase in half an hour?
I think the photo at the top of the article is interesting in just how many of the people there are quite old. Really makes you appreciate the social safety nets that we have today.
Yeah, absolutely, and I really like a lot of what I'm reading in the .PDF that darinf put together.

But this is still an instance of taking the low road. We all live on the same planet, and commercial jingoism isn't the way forward.

Edit: if you "aren't sure if you consider it insulting," try reversing the roles. Imagine a Chinese company that brags about how they avoid using parts and labor from the US whenever possible. How do you suppose that will play in Peoria?
It's not like Django + TastyPie just because it uses OO. If you are building a service with two or three endpoints, that combo is overkill. “You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.” comes to mind. It's closer to Flask feature-wise.
Use cases like Walmart, LinkedIn, Paypal, Ebay, the New York Times, Uber, Voxer, Microsoft and Yahoo?
Language discussions are always somewhat like debating the merits of various sports teams. Because the underlying computer architecture is the same, the how of expressing intent to the compiler for what you want it to do is always a mix of functional capabilities and aesthetics.

The C++ changes to templates are great, but they are only great if you like templates. Just like with enough cheese on them I'll eat brussels sprouts but I'm not a fan. Similarly with the other new features, that folks who love C++ are really excited about.

If I were advising graduate students I might have them evaluate the text to code ratio of various programming environments. I think it would make for some interesting insights into the ability to express execution as language. Then if you added 'total time to implement' from idea, and errors per thousand lines of code in the various choices you might be able to derive some metrics for how "effective" these languages were.

That said, I really appreciate someone putting down examples of all the changes. That is much easier for someone like me to internalize than the change text in the standard!
> human brains weren't engineered by humans

If this was true, the phenomena of feral children would not exist [1]. Human brains are socially engineered by an array of informal (family, friends, social context) and formal (schooling, governments) institutions.

What you are saying is true, but it's also worth keeping in mind that the 8086 was already three years old by the time the first IBM showed up, and the 286 was launched only a few months after the IBM PC.

That was part of the reason why the 286 ended up with the "braindead chip" reputation - it was designed before the IBM PC and DOS showed up, and thus the inability to easily switch between real and protected mode was not seen as a big problem at the time it was designed.
You're going to love Tracking Protection: http://monica-at-mozilla.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/tracking-pr...

It's an in-development feature to block parts of websites that track you. In practice, it mostly blocks ads, and it blocks most ads. And it doesn't have the performance/memory hit of AdBlock Plus for two reasons:

* The domain matching is simpler (no regexps) and thus much faster.

* It doesn't use CSS to fix up the layout of pages that have had ads removed; it just leaves blank white rectangles. (AdBlock Plus has lots of complex and even site-specific CSS code to do this.)

(I've been told this by one of the Tracking Protection developers, though I may have got the details slightly wrong.)

In testing done by its developers, it speeds up the load time of the median page by 20%! So overall it gives more privacy, less page clutter, and faster browsing. Fantastic stuff.
This ublock custom rule worked for me:

One could and should argue that reading and learning from webpages is an e-book. All the stuff you mentioned about skipping around, footnotes, following references, are all things that were solved with HTML. It's just that the current state of 'ebooks' have regressed and using their own formats.

So if they learn and read from websites then they are learning from ebooks. I think they would prefer to have the internet than to have paper books.
If all websites declared all privacy violations up-front, that might be a viable solution.
There was a submission briefly on the front page here where someone was proclaiming security by not using c/c++ for projects, yet, they left their blog comments and site wide open for some idiots who have already tried to post silly comments with JS popups.

I guess maybe we need people to use static sites, like trainer wheels on bikes, until they become more security concious.
Ascending single or double ropes is most often practiced in rope access, tree climbing, caving or technical climbing. Ascending a single rope will often involve a Jumar [1] and a camming device placed on your foot or chest. Ascending a doubled rope can be done with just the rope using Blake's hitch or some extra material and a Prusik knot.

We've got lots of great techniques that apply in specific cases. Work sample tests and intelligence tests (admittedly illegal in the US), for example - tokenadult has a long linkdump that backs this up. If I recall right, tptacek has also done this in practice and had it work excellently.

Further, even if you can only systematize part of the process, that still helps you debug. If women all get rejected on the (blind) coding test then you don't need to waste time looking for bias. If women get rejected at the culture fit interview then you might want to look for bias at that stage.
>> A72 is a mobile chip

So is Apple A13. And yet it's been reported to outperform all Intel desktop CPUs in single core performance (I find the benchmark dubious, but I do believe it's close, and faster than it has any right to be given the super low power consumption). The only reason it doesn't do so in multicore perf is the limited TDP - a concern which does not exist in high end chips.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21033371
It isn't power that makes Apple comply but the value of the Chinese market.

Russia's market isn't that attractive but it's doing ok and it can take advantage of the requirements China enforces anyway. That is, there is no point for companies to leave Russia when they're complying to similar demands in China anyway.

My fiance worked at Oracle, and her manager routinely offered to "mushroom stamp" paperwork that was submitted for his approval.
Or three cores: http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=3 (2013, I think). The author only considers one of them "microcontroller-ish", the other two are "quite powerful arm9-like".
No longer will productivity be measured in "lines of coq." Pour one out.
> > Self hosted requires either spending lots of money, or in lots of regions something that probably qualifies as copyright infringement.

> Disk and USB space are cheap

Apologies for any ambiguity. When I was refering to spending lots of money, I wasn't considering the costs of self hosted infrastructure (servers, backups), but rather the cost of acquiring the media in the first place.
That might be a regional difference: I've heard cock or cockerel plenty of times in British English. We even sang a song at primary school called "The Golden Cockerel" in assemblies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkoWrj_IBWo

This article was fairly glowing, but the game is extremely difficult. Not only do the puzzles range from hard to "who would ever figure that out?!?" but the interpreter is the old Infocom one that only understands the one wording for any action.

For example, there are 10 objects scattered in the game that you have to collect for a puzzle at the end. They are never mentioned when you look around the room. At the end of the game Marvin will ask you for one of those objects. You might be thinking "ok, so if I miss one I still have a 90% chance of completing the game right.", but the game checks and if you're missing one he will always ask for that one object. You have to collect them all.

There's a bit in the article where the author talks about the clues for the Babel fish puzzle, but even he has to admit that the last part is basically just completely random based on what you happen to have in the inventory. Also, he doesn't mention that the puzzle is timed. If you don't complete it in a set number of moves you die. It is a game that is relentlessly unfair to the player.

I know this is a lot of words about an old game, but the Hitchhikers Guide series was one of my favorite books growing up and I was so excited when my parents bought this for the Commodore 64. I played it many many times, had the Babel Fish puzzle and others down pat, but still only made it maybe 1/3 of the way through the game before getting completely stuck.

It's just as important that we're vocal outside of the little ColdFusion circles though. For instance, attend a non-CF conference and talk to people about CFML. I do :)
There are, of course, many very large databases that would need something like this. However, I've found that most small sites I've worked on, a simple "lineage" system in a completely flat single table is more than adequate.

(The following is a link to my own website where I explain it using a Codeigniter library I built. It can be done in any type of code, however)
http://codebyjeff.com/blog/2012/10/nested-data-with-mahana-h...
I think if the average web developer, who had never tried CF, took a look at how easy it is to interact with DBs in CF....they'd probably be a bit shocked at how stupid easy it is. Definitely a strong point.

And yet, it's not much above C -- and in some cases, it's less.
