> Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Every source is WP:PRIMARY. Every one of them. Googling turned up posts to online discussion forums but nothing useful. Additionally, I note that the decision to delete at the previous AfD was unanimous for the same reasons.

> Perhaps think of it this way: a language becomes notable when people who haven't been involved in its creation start writing about it. If/when this language gets to that point you'll have no problem creating an article. At the moment, though, there just hasn't been enough uptake to get the coverage we need for notability.
About 20 lines down the story:

"The trick only works with one-way flights. Travellers cannot check in any luggage as that would then travel on to the flight's final destination."
Aw, come on, you really should. You know what happens when you publish something to npm? Approximately nothing. Your module gets in there with a bazillion others. Maybe someone will use it. Maybe not. Man if you could see the lame-ass library I first published to NPM you would laugh. The only way you get better is by putting yourself out there and just keep doing it.
Curious though, what do you use: maven or ant?
TLDR: "Dear Mr Andrew Sullivan, even though you already had extensive meetings and plans to sell and you are fully aware of the damage you'll cause, and have decided instead to take the money and run, please reconsider."

Why would someone so greedy and tone deaf possibly give a damn about such a letter? He's walking away a rich man and he already made his choice fully knowing.

If you want to Save .org, abolish ICANN. It's time to take our medicine, ICANN with no oversight has predictably led us to an internet controlled by greed and corruption of a few wealthy elite.

Appealing to the greedy will get us nowhere.

We need to seize power, not to plead.
In jurisdictions where mismanagement is a thing, it means something other than people losing their jobs. For example, the Dutch High Court has dismissed all cases for mismanagement so far. It has established that the standard is that 'no reasonably thinking decision maker would have made the same decision under the circumstances'.

> After adjusting for age, gender, race–ethnicity, body mass index, education, smoking, white blood cell level, iron level, red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume, blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease, physical activity, and depression, those meeting sleep guidelines had an 19% reduced risk of premature all-cause mortality (hazard ratio = 0.81; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.67-0.99; P = .04).

> After adjustments, those meeting sleep guidelines had better health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (β = −0.30; 95% CI: −0.38 to −0.21; P < .001).
I'm more like you. Into math, music, fitness, nature, literature, movies...

but can I actually say I'm "passionate" about any of them? On any given day, I've likely spent zero time or effort on at least one of the above. Simply can't have a day when I've studied math (beyond cursory readings on the phone), practiced an instrument, worked out, hiked/camped, read, AND watched a movie
Old skool fun!
Ahh, McGill

TLDR: Students studying English seek opportunities for exploration and critical thinking
> Which leads us to the second feature of this kind of obsession: there is no point. A bus ticket collector's love is disinterested. They're not doing it to impress us or to make themselves rich, but for its own sake.

I don't agree with this. They might very well do it to impress others. Most of all, they do it to impress each other. Go to any specialized forum of subreddit and you will find members arguing over details in order to gain respect. If I say X, you say Y and in the end X 'wins', I have gained some status. Bus ticket collectors are people, just like us, and need validation from their peers.
There are a lot of things about the RISCV design that come from a very ideological place and hurt in a high end design. Yes, there are extensions and designs with high end features, that's certainly true, and I'm sure people someone will be making a high end version at some point. But the ISA isn't very well suited to it compared to Power or ARM.

By default, code density on RISC-V is pretty bad. You can try to solve that by using variable length instructions which many high end RISC-V projects intend to do but having variable length instructions means your front end is going to have to be more complicated to reach the same level of performance that a fixed width instruction machine can achieve.

More instructions for a task means your back end also has to execute more instructions to reach the same level of performance. One way to do better is to fuse together ISA-level instructions into a smaller number of more complex instructions that get executed in your core. This is something that basically every high end design does but RISC-V would have to do it far more extensively than other architectures to achieve a similar level of density on the back end which makes designing a high end core more complex and possibly uses extra pipeline stages making mispredicts more costly.

And more more criticisms here: https://gist.github.com/erincandescent/8a10eeeea1918ee4f9d99...

EDIT: But in fairness it looks like conditional move might be getting added to the bit manipulation RISC-V extension which would fix one big pain point.

This isn't to say that RISC-V is bad. It's simplicity makes it wonderful for low end designs. It's extensibility makes it great for higher level embedded uses where you might want to add some instruction that makes your life easier for your hard driver controller or whatever in a way that would require a very expensive architecture license if you were using ARM. It's open, which would be great if you were making a high end open-source core for other people to use except the Power ISA just opened up so if I were to start a project like that I'd use that instead.
Pretty good at what? They're good at giving outsized power to a small number of wealthy white old people, but I don't think we want that.

This is well researched: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/neighborhood-defenders/...
Yes, someone who can code the solution you describe on demand would be a flying colors pass for me.

I agree with you that there are probably better questions. As you say, I'm looking for a medium difficulty fizzbuzz. I also agree with you that this is not going to be challenging and interesting for high performing candidates.

Incidentally, if someone has managed to memorize the solution to this and other algorithm problems I would consider that a pass. just the ability to do that is enough. there's enough code involved that they have to understand the problem pretty well to memorize it, and its the ability to understand that i'm interested in. (Barring some extreme outlier with super memory but bad other skills, but I'll have to detect that with other questions).
What's wrong with 'terrible' games like Candyland existing? Choices are not things that ONLY happen in games. When kids are ready, they'll move up.

When I was a kid, I chose not to play Candyland. I chose to play Battleship and Stratego and Checkers and Chess and (much later) Magic.
Microsoft's being stupid. WebGL is a way to write 3D on the Web, something that's so far not been possible. All the Direct2D stuff is orthogonal -- you can accelerate 2D drawing and provide 3D support separately, as Firefox does.
Logo looks very similar to the Banyan Tree Logo. Banyan Tree is a very famous luxury brand in Asia.

The conclusion I always drew was, logically speaking, when Trivial Pursuit was created it must be that 4th grade science was about as well-known as slightly outdated pop trivia.
This makes sense since the Bitcoin system has been basically immune from fraud and scams up until this point.
Butt bombs are an unproven technology...

Any sufficiently advanced pedantry is indistinguishable from trolling.
This is yet another unappreciated benefit of having a business model where someone is actually paying for something. You get to pay to get users.
`htmlentities()` defaults to ISO-8859-1 encoding, so the short form is useless in practice, and you need:

I was a double major in Communications and American Studies in my first go-around at an undergrad degree. It's not so much the fact that essays are necessarily the problem, but the expectation of length as the ultimate point of the exercise--from professors and students--that causes confusion.

As a writer, I hate filling prose with word soup just to fill space, but early in college I often ended up writing in 15 words what could be said in 5. By my junior year, I stopped caring about meeting the length requirements and focused on solid research and arguments in my papers.

Most profs didn't seem to dock me for it when I showed competence in the subject matter. Those that did were reasonable after speaking with them about it.

But, that's the difference between me and the people that hire ghostwriters. I made it clear to my teachers I was there to learn and grow, regardless of many of the arbitrary milestones and requirements. I was there for the journey. People who enter university simply to pass through a series of checkpoints on their way to an end goal focus entirely on the end goal of getting a degree (and presumably shortly thereafter, a job) rather than getting an education.
:) cool eyes..
They can't, Facebook is a gnat, Google is an elephant, they aren't even in the same league. When their profit is 10 times what it is now, then maybe they can be in that conversation, but just barely as it'll still only be half of what Google makes.
Good follow-through-on-something project. I have too much trivia in my head already to follow this, but it might inspire enough to sell some quality markers.
I believe I understand what you are trying to say but just to be sure, you didn't realize those were text boxes at first, is that it? If so, yes, that's a problem with this approach, we tried to make something somewhat unique by making the homepage show what the app is about by using the app itself. Another curious thing is that that's the signup page too, you just don't think much about it (or not as much as you probably would on a normal signup page).

It obviously has its problems but we really wanted to make it as easy as possible! We are very curious about how it turns out!
You can force it through a few extensions. I'm on chrome, and I've been using https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/obfehkohhfbooodo...

Works fairly well, but it loads the main page and then refreshes into SSL. I'm sure there are similar extensions for firefox, etc.
Yeah, I certainly wish there were more artful movies.

However, I think the art vs commerce distinction is false. Studios making artful films are just as commercial as any, they just produce for a specific audience.
One of Trump’s children perjured themselves to lie about the purposes of a meeting with a Russian lawyer (later proven to be for Clinton dirt), his campaign manager was convicted for laundering money with Russia connected people, an advisor was convicted for coordinating with WikiLeaks, and some lower level campaign staffers were convicted for more improper connections with Russians. There wasn’t enough proof to say whether Trump personally knew about these things, but the alternative where he is clueless isn’t exactly a good look, either.

All of those things were proven in court. Not one of Trump’s barrage of election lawsuits has gained any traction at all. They are very much not the same.
They are good for gaming when manufacturers use a good cooling system. Which is, almost never.

HP, Dell/Alienware, Lenovo, all of them have had overheating CPUs for over a decade. GPUs are fine half the time, surprisingly.

Their testing is garbage, what they call normal use seems to be completely different from what power users call normal use. And I'm talking about "workstations", not cheap consumer laptops.

Oh, but the design constraints, you'll say. OK, that's forgivable for Ultrabooks/thin-and-light laptops. Not workstations. And before the thinness fad, they were still overheating. And not because of design constraints.

As an example, I'll bring the Elitebook 8760/8770w/ZBook 17 G1/Zbook 17 G2 series, all of which have the same internal design and layout.

All were overheating after a while, due to thermal paste going bad (and being shit from the factory, but I digress).

With the ZBook G2 it got very, very bad. Those Haswell chips with FIVR were mini nuclear reactors. HP realized they weren't "just overheating", but "extremely overheating".

Their solution? The same heatsink with an extra heatpipe. Just like that, poof, problem solved. One extra heatpipe!

That can't cost more than $2 in the factory. I don't know any buyer who wouldn't have paid an extra $5-10 to have a proper working $4000 workstation.

Whoever is saving money on copper and screws in these companies needs to be fired and banned from ever working in companies making hardware.

I'm not even going to talk about Apple, everyone knows their stuff has a ton of problems. But they're selling people on design and software, not quality engineering.

And they actually solved the heat problems by going in the opposite direction with the M1 (ultra low power usage while maintaining performance instead of a good cooling system).
> I can't speak for other countries, but in the Netherlands WhatsApp is undeniably a part of your social infrastructure.

It is in Brazil too, without a shadow of a doubt.
This sounds ripe for a lawsuit or some really bad PR. Wait until the labor groups find out you punish the people desperate for more hours to make ends meet.

It’s better to implement an hour cap or require approval for any overtime.
> Well, if I remember the math correctly.

You're off by one. There's a "minus 1" because Reed Solomon is over the cyclical multiplication group, not over the cyclical additive group. (TL;DR: The number 0 cannot participate in... some portion of the formulation of the polynomials)

GF(2^3) is over blocksize of 7. GF(2^4) is over blocksize of 15. GF(2^8) is over 255.

---------

GF(2^8) is the smallest size in practice, because most people's data is organized into 8-bits-at-a-time today. (aka: a byte). But you're mostly right (once you account for the off-by-one error): there's a limit to 255 elements per block in GF(2^8) Reed Solomon.

But GF(2^3) or GF(2^4) are great for hand-exercises, the smaller size makes it far easier to compute calculations by hand and allow for the human to gain understanding. (aka: Octal 2^3 numbers or Hexadecimal 2^4 numbers). GF(2^2) is technically possible... but all the matrix math is over 1x1 matricies and not really a good opportunity to learn from. GF(2^1) is literally impossible for Reed Solomon to work in. So GF(2^3) is the smallest practical hand-exercise size (RS(7, 5) over GF(2^3) has a 5x7 generator matrix and a 7x2 check matrix. Small enough to do by hand though a bit tedious).

If you actually wanted to "split symbols up" so that you better detect bit-errors, then LDPC or Turbocodes are straight up superior over Reed Solomon for "small symbol sets". Reed Solomon is best used over "large symbols" (aka: 2^8 or larger).

----------

Any Reed Solomon code can be punctured (aka: fewer parity symbols), or shortened (aka: fewer data symbols) by simply setting locations of the Reed-Solomon generator and/or check matrix to 0.

As such, if you organize "smaller sets" into 2^8 (aka: 8-bit bytes), its just very natural to use a punctured + shortened Reed Solomon code instead of trying to get a 2^4 Reed Solomon code to work.
I had them in several houses over the years and don't think it was superseding technology that was the problem.

Intercoms were:

- kind of ugly and bulky

- fixed in place - you needed to walk over to the panel and push a button to use; but now you're already by the door (where the panels were installed) and can probably just yell faster/easier

- the person you're reaching might have volume turned down, so you resort to yelling anyway

- you might be on the phone or taking a nap and would have to turn down to volume to avoid interruption

- poor speaker/sound quality, so horrible for music playback

- poor build quality and buttons/dials would regularly fail after 5 years or faster if used

- finicky to setup with tons of manual tweaking required to get volume levels where desired

- expensive to repair & proprietary

- expensive to install
As a high schooler who only had Nextel phones for the cool factor, I will never forget the constant anxiety in the back of my mind that I'd have the phone off mute and one of my friends would chirp me when I'm around my parents with something I'd rather they not hear.
Let's say your case happens and that there is a case to suspect of election interference and results tampering

The way to make the population aware is not through videos that people "MUST SEE!!11". Or typical manipulative ways of steering the masses.

Of course the winners write history, if they were correct or not is in the end "less important" in some ways and more important in others
In a way, except that there is no link between my usage and a payment, do you know what I mean? If I paid even $1 a month, I could sleep well knowing they're promising me X in exchange for Y.
With a donation it just feels like I'm rewarding them for their high level promises/values.
I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it.
Yea same here. I stopped using github's PR for similar reasons since I always rebase onto master locally and compare that diff. Seems like the bitbucket feature is emulating this which sounds like a great improvement to me.

The current site is not very informative. Copywriting is hard. Fortunately, your own rewording from one of the comments here is much better at explaining the tool:

'It’s a “Rapid application development” tool, targeting developers who create internal apps'. Now I get it.

Many developers build many internal apps every day. They want to do it rapidly. Now hire a technical writer to help you write this story.

It's Ok to namedrop as it will help with postitioning of your product against more famous tools:

"Hassle-free Excel"

"Dirt-cheap Tableau"

"Salesforce on JavaScript"

The other thing that's missing is an example of the tool in action in the form of a short video/gif or a small case study.

First fix your site then try to get more visitors to it otherwise they'll bounce like crazy (leaky bucket).
Linux is tremendously successful. You want to enforce restriction on kernel developers because of "grandma", that's impractical.
Open source contributions are one thing (and thank you for yours). Working at/for/on behalf of a startup is completely different.

Disguising work on a startup as "open source contributions" would be fraud. The type of fraud that might lead to violations of child labor laws with hefty fines particularly since the original poster is fully aware of the status of the out of state minor making it a "willful violation".
Also their parents can give them guidance on long-term thinking as a balance against politicians promising 'free' things.
Yup, getting oauth errors.
Oh dear. Mark Zuckerbergs website, photo gallery and his SMS messenger are down.

Time to use something that doesn't scan your photo book, address book, and ultimately; everything about YOU.
Likely not related, but you can imagine that they are quite busy these days with two unplanned projects:

1. Retooling the underpinnings of their ad analytics to survive iOS14. Big advertisers are about to lose a lot of their insights into attribution, partially directly related to the new limitations of iOS14, and partially due to assumptions that Facebook had made about tracking and which are no longer accurate and require a big rewrite.

2. Building an internal Shopify to allow customers to click on ads and complete transactions without ever leaving their app. This already exists but is practically unusable and nowhere close to the polish of Shopify.
Yup, everything just came back online.
Corporal punishment is really not that bad, pursued at a reasonable level. I don't really understand the zero-tolerance attitude that seems to prevail towards even paddling a misbehaving toddler's ass. Employed correctly, its something that doesn't need to be employed very often, and its a helluva lot better deterrent than making them stand in the corner or whatever liberal shaming-based method of discipline.
The Learning Area is still a work in progress, and contributions are more than welcome!

We're having a weekly IRC meeting on mondays at 19.00 CET, on irc.mozilla.org, #mdn channel.
Thanks for the heads up. I was about to sign up for the same reason.

Have you found a better alternative for duplicity backups?
"Wendell Berry wrote that American society’s inability to see the Amish for what they are is indicative of the most basic flaws of the American progress narrative"

On the other hand, America is a rare society where Amish phenomenon is possible. Because in most of the world it won't. Such a way of life will be either ruined by economics or by regulations.

So true. Communication communication communication.
1. They don't have internet. They have something like an intranet. If you want to use baidu or oder on taobao, it will work.
2. Phone calls. Forget skype or VOIP. Make a big down payment on you phone for international calls and you can call abroad. Kind of.
3. Postal mail. Good luck relying on that, especially from mail abroad. Best chances to use an express service (Fedex etc.) and pay the price.
Were I to build a new house, yes, I've planned to do this. Jesus I sound nuttier by the minute.
He is very specifically releasing quickly. I didn't see anywhere an attempt to hold a bow in position for a long time to aim --- just like throwing a ball, you don't have to hold it cocked when you are an expert.

How are these trick shots, and not refined? Those sound like belittling statements. He has done good research and discovery of how ancient warriors fought. It is fair to call them different techniques, but not refined vs unrefined. It would take some serious practice to duplicate the masters in either style.
Security through obscurity is no security at all.

While it isn't wonderful if China has attained access to the source code of IOS, they have the source code of Linux. They have the source code of the BSDs. Those are still generally touted as much more secure than OS X or Windows.
It's also on you to tell that story convincingly.

Because realistically would you write down the pass key in only one place? That's all of your data after all. Your livelihood if you're a developer etc. You may get asked what sort of things losing that password has cost you, if you're the sort of person who has that level of security that probably means you're locked out of all sorts of other systems (thanks to now not having access to private keys) so they can be subpoenaed to see if you've managed to log into your hosting account recently despite not having the private key to do so. And if you magically have preserved your private keys elsewhere why should you be believed that your passkey solely exists on a piece of paper in your wallet...

What about your friends, co-workers etc who might be compelled to testify as to having seen you work on your computer and have never seen you get your wallet out at any point.

And as soon as that isn't believed all other testimony you may give is tainted because you've just lied to the court. Good luck with any mitigation in the event of a guilty plea as well because you've demonstrated you haven't acted in good faith.
