The real solution to that is to allow sites to specify the SHA of their resources. If any file from _any site_ is already in the cache with that SHA, it won't need to be loaded.

There's already some work being done in that general direction: http://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/
Why do people pretend promisses is someting different than event based programming? The fact that you daisy-chain your event handlers doesn't make it something other than syntactic shugar...
At the link level, your MAC is your unique address.

First: You do not want a MAC collision. I have worked with hardware that sometimes picked a non-unique MAC and your life gets really weird and sucks away a lot of debugging time to find out why impossible things are happening.

Continuing – It made ethernet easy to implement. They could have added some complicated address negotiation protocol and then handled address collisions when partitioned networks healed, but it was "olden times" and something that complicated would not have gained traction.

Fast forward to Wi-Fi. The reason you have Wi-Fi instead of any number of other wireless ideas that died is because it looks like ethernet so people didn't have to think much about it, so you inherit that baggage.

If you really want to change your MAC address then you will want to make sure you aren't going to collide with anyone else. The odds are tiny, but it would be rude to ruin their day. Fortunately, there is a locally administered range of MAC addresses. If your first octet's last digit is 2, 6, a, or e then you are a locally administered unicast address. Assuming your network segment doesn't have an administrator actively handing out local addresses, drop 56 random bits in the remaining octets, cross your fingers, and bring up your network stacks.
But every so often, our mitochondria and their
surrounding cells fight. The result is diseases,
such as mitochondrial myopathies (a range of muscle
diseases) or Leigh’s disease (which affects the
central nervous system).

It's not clear to me that mitochondria are fighting their host cells in a myopathy. They simply aren't working because of genetic mutation. Even if we do say they are "fighting", it's not obvious why that is a result of them originating from two different cells.
Maybe that's why they used to call their political party the Democratic-Republicans?
One quite possible scenario is that this is the dying process of the "legacy media", as it gets replaced by... whatever comes next.

That's one way to see the recent NYT purges. If I can force out a colleague for some marginal etiquette infraction, that's one fewer competitor in the shrinking job pool.
I think you win the prize.

Nerd discussions are always the same, no matter the medium...
Let's assume that at least some key superiors at WHO are biased, but the majority of the lower-level investigators are honest and not especially biased. What can the WHO superiors do to try to prevent the investigation from producing an embarrassing report? Stratagems that come to mind: choose which investigators to send, choose who to lead the teams of investigators, get involved in writing up the final reports (either directly or by leaning on those who do). The investigators' work was presumably divided up; perhaps someone could have arranged for a CCP-friendly investigator to be in charge of a particularly sensitive area. Or the report summaries could omit or spin certain issues. I don't know how the investigation was organized, or the reports for that matter, but there's probably at least some room for the superiors to inject their bias into the overall outcome.
A period during which someone who knows something or has something does not release it to the public.
A major problem in that is proving intent. How do you prove the New York times was intentionally misleading their audience to cause damage?
There's a real possibility that a gain-of-function experiment created SARS-CoV-2:

"Lipsitch’s activists (calling themselves the Cambridge Working Group) sent around a strong statement on the perils of research with “Potential Pandemic Pathogens,” signed by more than a hundred scientists. The work might “trigger outbreaks that would be difficult or impossible to control,” the signers said. Fauci reconsidered, and the White House in 2014 announced that there would be a “pause” in the funding of new influenza, SARS, and MERS gain-of-function research." [0]

In December 2017, the US began funding gain-of-function research on these deadly diseases again. This research creates deadly diseases that may not have existed otherwise.

This pandemic has been enough for me to strongly believe that there should be a global ban on gain-of-function experiments on deadly viruses and bacteria. I'd like to help prevent a future pandemic, and that's one clear way we can help.

Tuned exhaust are only "in tune" at a particular rev range where the resonant frequency of the exhaust manifold is in sync with the engine combustion cycles. They're not widely used outside of racing applications, because a road vehicle has relatively wider rev range than a racing machine. And they're ridiculously loud.

A vintage Cosworth DFV racing engine only "works" at 7000-9000 rpm (or 8000-10000 rpm for later models), a pre-turbo 2000s F1 car runs at 11000-15000 rpm to about 14000-20000 rpm (before rev limits were enforced). It's a really narrow band compared to a road car that can run from 1000-6000 rpm, ie. is useful on the entire rev range.

All modern engines have well engineered exhaust manifolds, though, but they're not really "resonance charged" like a tuned racing exhaust.

Thanks, yes, I hadn't thought about that but it's true!
My initial thought was: I wouldn't want any 'fake' noise, potentially hiding information in the (softer) real noise.

But what if the noise is dynamically synthesized based on lots of info from the vehicle – perhaps not just its real noise/RPMs, but other qualities usually not usually sensed. Temperature and vibrations across multiple sampling-locations? Computed fuel-economy? Others?

Maybe it's a good aural channel for real info!
A little off topic but would love to know more about the platform/tech behind his site. My casual observations sees: Azure, New Relic, FB/Twitter integrations. Perhaps some scss/sass? Ruby or .Net?

Nintendo has a young audience. I think of being at the mall with the kids, letting them loose on the coin machines for ten minutes, but not putting any money in.
As a casual slow cyclist myself I already find it impossible to rely on audio too Mich, visuals are always needed. I have had several near collisions with other cyclists in the past who silently sneak up from behind or around corners. Afterwards I made sure to always look around before changing direction and treat every obscured corner as potential "devil puppet on a spring box" (no idea what they are called :) ).

I would love car traffic to be more silent but AFAIK the tires actually make most of the noise.
It doesn’t seem like the BBC follows that rule either when emitting in China I guess?
Other than the pretty big UI overhaul in 2.8, not really.
If you are going to hire people, you should reflect that in the title or at least in the body of the post...
I think we'd be better off working incrementally on larger and more sophisticated space habitats. Work our way up to O'Neill cylinders and the like. Much easier to harden a space habitat against radiation and to provide air, water, and power to it than it is to terraform an entire planet. Still not easy, though.

Edit: Much easier to move out of the way when the Sun expands into a red giant, as well. Not that we have to worry about that for a while yet.
I can not do business in the US, or I can not do business with iPhone users. My only 'opt out' is to quit doing business in their market. I continue to see similarities here
See I think exploring space IS understanding ourselves just like exploring our biology is.

We've been doing the "spiritualism self understanding" thing for 100,000 years and it's just let to wars, virgin sacrifices, and other dumb human outcomes.

It's not even clear what "understanding ourselves" means.

I'd argue that Science has led to more enlightenment and improvement of the human condition than spiritualism ever has.

When you say rotating a part do you mean rotating the view or using the draft rotate (or some other workbench's rotate) command?

FYI if you use the draft workbench you can snap to midpoints and then convert the autocad-equivalent draft workbench sketch to an inventor-equivalent part design / sketcher workbench sketch. You can also use the symmetry constraint in the sketcher workbench to constrain a point to the center of a line.

If you get familiar with it you can technically model almost anything you want[0], but if you want to go back and change a feature (which is kinda the entire point of parametric cad) it'll likely destroy your part if you're not using the topological naming branch. Freecad realistically needs 5-10 more years to get basic feature parity with professional CAD from the early 2000's and then another release or two focused entirely on stability.

[0]: Their opencascade geometry kernel has some moderately serious deficiencies for complex operations/objects, the assembly workbenches are just now approaching the point where they're stable enough that you can use them without having to rebuild your assembly every week, and while the new TechDraw workbench theoretically gives you the features you need to make manufacturing drawings (which is really the end goal for any professional CAD package, those are what you need to get your parts made) in practice it's too buggy to use with even simple assemblies.
What non-technical person runs a server on their laptop?
Great question! Spots have to comply with a set of rules. For example, they can't contain foul language, they can't target children, they have to be anonymous, etc. We have 3 mechanisms to verify that these conditions are met, that will kick in depending on volume: First, moderation by a few of us. Second, moderation by a community of trusted users. Third (and most important) self moderation, where spot creators have to moderate other spots for their spots to be approved. In this type of moderation, revisions by anonymous users are compared with other revisions to determine the intention of the reviewer.

We also have thumbs up/down and spam flagging in place to help us catch spots that go through the cracks.

The target of a spot can respond in the comments section, and the comment will be identified as such: "Target's Comment". This gives targets of blackspots a chance to set the record straight.

In a nutshell, we are relying on human intuition and common sense to evaluate our content. Some slander will occur, but our goal is to keep it at a bare minimum. We believe that humans are candid by nature, so we expect the vast majority of spots to be true.

Moderating anonymous postings in a way that scales is a very difficult and important problem. We are working on it.
One of the commenters mentioned the geo-redirects. I'm assuming this doesn't affect the individual domain's traffic count (since the source measures entire domain?). Now what if they are charging substantially higher rates to the advertisers though, since they are keeping the time shown of an ad up.
This is such a beautiful example.
Is this any surprise considering their new design? The only way I can read any Gawker site is via an RSS feed and even then I can't stand to read past that and actually visit the site.
I can explain part of it: the hash based URLs are completely broken in Canada (and presumably elsewhere). Any link I follow (e.g. gawker.com/#12345) redirects to ca.gawker.com. The hashes aren't preserved on redirect, and I'm not interested enough in the content to go searching.
Nothing before 1761. This cuts out giant, enormous swaths of literature...

I don't think it cuts out all that much. I would assume that the number of books published before 1761 would be a tiny fraction of a percentage of all books ever published.
Thank's for the explanation! Then I know Nim isn't for me because "winning the benchmark game" isn't important to me -- even Python is fast enough for almost everything I write. But I understand why it is appealing to others.

Are there any other up-to-date benchmarks of Nim? In larger programs, performance is often dominated by allocating and garbage collecting memory. It would be interesting to know if Nim performs as well in that discipline as in raw number crunching.
economic growth, albeit imperfect, is a measure of things getting better for society. So, we should worry about worldwide economic growth, but not necessarily Swedish economic growth. Another point is, lack of growth is a leading indicator of the situation getting worse in the future, even if it is pretty good now. So, yes, economic growth is an imperfect measure, but we have few if any alternatives to economic growth in terms of assessing how things are going in an objective way
Yawn!

I've been using my HP c3753a for 18 years now (same layout as these, great feel and sound (similar to IBM M)). If it ever dies, I'll just use the backup I grabbed 10 years ago.

It's kind of like buying new antique furniture. I'm sure the keyboard is solid and will last, but I've got the original...
I've got the one with the Cherry MX Clear switches. It feels overly "springy" when you first get it, but if you're a heavy typer it's pretty excellent to type on once you get used to it. It's also quiet enough to use in the office, and the backlight is very nice to have. One protip: you will definitely need to get a wrist rest for this keyboard, since the front edge is about an inch off the desk.

At home, I use a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches, because they're more responsive for gaming and the Das Keyboard has dedicated media buttons and volume wheel.

Before that, I had an Aivia with Cherry MX Brown switches, which had a lot of the advantages of the Das Keyboard but had a very annoying light in the corner (although it might be possible with some hackery to turn it into a useful status light, as it changes color). It did have USB and audio passthrough though, which the Code and Das Keyboard do not have.
I'm definitely going to look into this. Even with working on a second degree in Engineering Mechanics, I've found that I have forgotten a considerable amount of information I learned earlier in my degree (likely replaced by the overwhelming information in CS). I would love to brush back up on those areas, if only to overcome my fears of mechanical inadequacy. Without constant application, material as complex as mechanics can simply slip away, so having a book like this that hits on the high notes would be fantastic.
This solution will cause suffering for a great number of people as they have the choice of either making money on the low end of poverty or become unemployed altogether. It's simply not a realistic option.
I worked for about 6 months before one day there was an emergency announcement over the PA. Before the voice actually came on, the white noise generator cut out and it was weird. I had always assumed it was a noisy air duct.

What you trade off is absolute sound level for attenuating speech like noises faster than they would naturally. So going from nothing to white noise is going to sound and feel noisier. But you will find that you can't hear people talking across the room as well as you could when it was quieter.

I consider it a net positive. But then again I also wear headphones frequently to listen to music for focus (and to drown out everything).

Part of me hoped it would be written in the style of "Why's poignant guide to Ruby".
We've been writing corporate America a hall pass for quite some time. With many of these, I'm sure it's time to say "We'll loan you the money, on the condition the government owns you if you don't pay up." And if there is any company trying to lend more than their value...just end them - they've effectively become a cancer.
Sort of, but that's only considering the worst possible outcome...
Just watched your video. It's really cool! (and makes me a bit jealous :D 600k views, wow!!! My best video had 22k and only because it was a talk I have on a stage at UnrealFest)

re: Apple Mail, it just depends on who you ask. If you prefer Gmail, then Facebook could have mimic'd Gmail UI instead. The point is that unifying the different transports doesn't solve a real user problem. It's not like people are having problems sending email or SMSes to each other today.
Also, financial companies have a lot of money to attract top talent. Your average company probably can't easily find people who would get up to speed quickly with Haskell, whereas they'll surely be able to get people who do Java or PHP, and these days, probably also find Python and Ruby developers without too much trouble too.
>I have never, nor shall I ever, had a FB account.

My favorite thing about this development is that now you don't have to. If you have a friend who only communicates through Facebook, or primarily through Facebook, now you get to use e-mail to talk to them, and they get to use Facebook to talk to you. Everyone's happy.

... Unless they harvest data from your messages that sit on the FB system in your friend's inbox, of course.
I think the advantages of living in a big city really emerge when you have hobbies/interests/needs that are not very common.

In that case if you want in-person interaction with like-minded people, or to attend specific facilities, you need a big enough population that the relevant small percentage of people becomes a significant community.
Release of IE was tied to the OS. Since Vista was delayed, IE too got delayed.
Apache doesn't handle large numbers of open/long-lasting connections like node (or nginx) does. Further, it will completely fail to reverse-proxy websockets (as will anything above layer 2 at this point.)

The best solution is to have your static files on a CDN.
Really? I thought LPTHW was meant for non-programmers? From the site: "The book is a very beginner book for people who want to learn to code. If you can already code then the book will probably drive you insane."

Is this not true? I've been wanting to get back to Python recently so I'm genuinely curious if this is a good resource for someone who already knows how to program in another language.
Why didn't this get more attention?
How far off is viper mode from vim, anyway? Anyone who uses it regularly care to share how close it gets you to vim-level speed?
Probably not that different from being paralyzed. I doubt dogs in such a situation would get very far into the more philosophical and abstract objections a human in that situation would probably experience.
Ah, yes, Thanks :) I'm not too familiar with the finer points of American tv-distribution
As someone who is totally blind and has over 20 years of experience crossing streets I am interested in what you feel the other realistic options for crossing streets with out listening to sound are? I have excepted the fact that crossing a street will never be completely safe. At least where I walk bikes are not common on the main streets and even if they were I'd much rather get hit by someone going 25 miles an hour on a bike then an electric car going 45 miles per hour.
Does anyone know if this is the same quantum computing project as their anyon quantum braiding research?
I think European salaries are more like 1/2 of the US rate. Mexico/LatAm salaries are 1/3.
I'm not sure that's a universal experience. One of the most popular podcasts is Joe Rogan's, where each episode is just him talking to a random guest about a random thing, and that kind of show seems like it'd translate pretty straightforwardly to Clubhouse. I can't say I've ever wanted to rewind Rogan or follow along with show notes.

I've actually been using this since the year started, and it helps you have clear fitness goals more than anything else I've tried before.
I think another important point being missed is how hard it is to create compelling improvised content. Youtube and Tiktok are amateur productions but the successful creators are still writing and editing. Conversations are going to meander and the absolute worst offense possible for this kind of medium is being boring.
Yes, that's what I planned next!
Yeah it's really good, though one minor issue is that they seem to be keen on fitting a certain structure (cutting in with "The Problem", "The Solution" when it doesn't really fit well) when really it's just entertaining hearing people like Jordan Mechner, Sid Meier and Lucas Pope talk for a while about an interesting mechanic or issue.
I enjoyed reading this, thanks!

.. I don't think you're disagreeing with me at all.

I agree with this: "You don't need to know what this is in order to know it exists. Having a word for it helps tremendously, but it is not required in order to reason about it."
If filing a Friend of the Court brief counts as "having its way", then the ACLU "has its way" on a majority of SCOTUS cases.

Sorry, but we knew it was serious. On January 25th, we closed down and evacuated the US consulate in Wuhan. That was 2 months ago.

Unless by 'most people' you mean Trump and the Fox News audience.
>>As far as I am aware...

Doesn't really matter what you are aware or not. USA and the major countries have thousands of people that do just that, monitor epidemics. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html That's their job and they have ways to notify leadership. Other look out for steroids, others for hackers hacking power plants, others look out for terror threats and so on.

It turns out that out intel services knew about this and its potential since January but civilian leader more or less ignored it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/us-intellig...
I'm a Canadian. I'm not a gamer, but my kids are. I bought Animal Crossing too, only I ordered it and it will be delivered next week.

I chose to delay gratification in order to save other people's lives. Amazing, how things work when people behave like adults instead of toddlers who need their diapers changed.

Let that sink in if you ever revisit this thread.

p.s. No, we Canadians can't stop you from going to the store during a pandemic. But we can ask you to stay right where you are, and that's exactly what we did when we closed our border to non-essential traffic from the USA.
