If you're making use of something like git-send-email you can already do this easily.

The patch format explicitly allows it to ignore "junk" information at certain points, so you can edit in comments all over the place. The format also lets you break up a diff, rearranging it semantically, and it'll get rebuilt later.

Edit, to expand on the above:

> patch tries to skip any leading garbage, apply the diff, and then skip any trailing garbage. Thus you could feed an article or message containing a diff listing to patch, and it should work..... After removing indenting or encapsulation, lines beginning with # are ignored, as they are considered to be comments.

> With context diffs, and to a lesser extent with normal diffs, patch can detect when the line numbers mentioned in the patch are incorrect, and attempts to find the correct place to apply each hunk of the patch. As a first guess, it takes the line number mentioned for the hunk, plus or minus any offset used in applying the previous hunk. If that is not the correct place, patch scans both forwards and backwards for a set of lines matching the context given in the hunk.

Does anyone know why this vaccine "only requires one dose"?

Is the number of doses just an arbitrary decision by the manufacturers, or is it determined by the technology somehow?
That won't stop contacts that now know your phone number from swapping you anyway to compromise other services that use SMS for 2FA.

My whole point is revealing cell numbers you rely on to strangers is a bad call.

Being forced to do it by baking them into a chat protocol is idiotic.

> Leaves were a major invention millions of years ago (not that long ago really). They are a big step up from needles

Leaves were indeed a major event in the the evolutionary history of plants, BUT, leaves are actually older than needles. Many primitive gymnosperms had leaves, as did primitive ferns. Needles are basically leaves that have rolled in on themselves.

Conifers are dominant over very large areas, they have not been pushed out of almost every niche in the world. They are the dominant group of plants in northern and southern boreal forests and cover a significant portion of the earth's surface.
It's my understanding that it's probably easier to trade bitcoins for dollars than calculate them directly, unless you happen to have a lot of spare computing resources lying around. For instance, if I set my desktop machine calculating, I might make 50 BTC in a year. But I could buy that on an exchange for $50 right now if I wanted to.

That said, bitcoins do favour the already rich. If I have $1000 I can buy more bitcoins than someone with only $100. This is not exactly unusual.

The advantage of using bitcoins as a currency is that you can transfer them electronically without the need for a centralised banking system and all the bureaucracy that entails. As a programmer, this is what really excites me about the system.
I've been very happy with moniker.com. I have 73 domains with them. They're inexpensive, I like their web interface, and I've had no trouble with them at all.
All agreements are binding, term sheets as well if they are formulated as agreements. But what you agree upon in a termsheet is formulated as "if we do a deal, these are the terms". According to the story, in this case there was also a substantial break-up fee written into the agreement. It might be the case that the signature is all that is missing to make it enforcable.

However, there is without a doubt more to the story than revealed in the article. The missing signature might as well be a red herring, but not because "term sheets aren't binding".
i used to play around a lot with Akihabara (free & opensourced). The lack of a good map editor made me switch to ImpactJS
Bitcoin is pretty sweet, but its extremely confusing. I barely understand it, and i'm an extremely technical user. I think people need to work harder on bringing down the complexity.
That’d be great if San Francisco had enough police to monitor for anything.

As it is, drug deals happen in broad daylight on Market St anyway because nobody’s gonna stop them.
Look at the mobile uploads. They have photos attached
Fun story but this isn't really news. Sales is sales. All sales tricks are a bit, well, tricky; marketers are trying to convince us to buy things we might not. At least with drugs people already want them.
The company is so massive now that it actually has an overabundance of engineers.

Small projects for maintenance don't need entire teams either and can be completely handled by 1 or 2 junior members.
1Password has a similar feature too.
Yeah, but the argument isn't that NASA should have stopped developing space tech. It's just the shuttle was an extremely expensive product that could have been designed better.
You mean, have printer manufacturers pay to maintain software that allows users to continue using their old printers? I don't see that happening.
it’s most likely ‘onHover’ behavior since ipad now identifies as a mac, so probably most css/js is assuming you have a mouse most likely...

My information got leaked by OnePlus last year and I got hit with some minor credit card fraud. At least I didn't get hit this time... One would think that companies would step up their security after a breach.
Having a package arrive discretely is arguably safer than the in person interaction with a dealer. Also, you don't get repeat customers if you kill them, so online procured products are usually of a quality high enough you will be a repeat customer (and not die).

I'd also highly recommend earplugs to guarantee you're not disturbed by noise. (Vibrating phone works as an alarm).

They're probably unnecessary for most nights sleep, but they eliminate that odd night here and there where your sleep is ruined by some party across the hall.
I agree, BOSH is pretty darn cool. Once you have learned the quirks of it.

Currently I think a couple of things that stands in the way of it being more widespread.

* Its tedious to create a new release.

* The documentation is scattered.

* Distributing a release can be a bit tricky. Spiff + deployment templates doesn't really scale that well. For CF we have to pipe to a mod script just because the original templates are not flexible enough, i.e "./generate-manifest infra stub.yml | ./add-extra-releases-and-change-static-logging-levels-and-other-random-stuff > manifest.yml"

* Its sufficiently different even for a seasoned admin that it will take some time to get up and running and understanding how stuff fits together end to end. Currently it feels like the only way to understand BOSH is to understand BOSH.
Well, Islam does recognize the other prophets and their religions (so that includes Judaism and Christianity). And I don't agree with the fact that "it was around even before that", as people didn't fast regularly and in the same fashion as jews/christians/muslims do.

And IMHO, belief doesn't have to be totally separate from reasoning. We're human beings, our beliefs are definitely influenced by what our reason (among other stimuli) dictates us.

I started my comment by saying that this is one way to see religions, a way that I sometime present to curious non-religious friends. There's also a more philosophical (and comprehensive) way to see them that I can discuss with people that are just more "into that". And of course, as a religious person, I do believe in God but that doesn't mean that it needs to be a blind belief without any reasoning.
It could be worse. They could have leap tenths of seconds ten times as often.
When AngularJS was first created, almost five years ago, it was not originally intended for developers. It was a tool targeted more at designers who needed to quickly build persistent HTML forms.

I guess this confirms it -- Angular really is the modern Visual Basic.
> Are they afraid that by writing that they will become the subject of increased surveillance? That could/would happen as easily 30 years ago as today.

It was less efficient and a lot slower decades ago. Back then you just have people manually combing and reading books. Now you have computers with improved machine learning processing huge numbers of documents. Even without machine learning, just being able to flag keywords is really powerful compared to yesteryear.
Who can do Cathedrals, do Cathedrals. Otherwise, do Bazaars.
How about a pizza delivery guy with an 5 hour shift?
That's the thing...I [we] don't know what keywords trigger deeper searches, or how exactly our browsing/typing history is tied together in which database. If I type 'Bin Laden' in a chat, does it flag me somewhere? Or is it filtered out as useless?

If I write, 'I had a blast at a party last night' (a really simplistic example, but you get the point) or 'Check out this story about this guy who wanted to kill Obama..he was crazy!',does that do anything, or are those keywords ignored?

What's considered a false positive, and what's a true positive? The algorithms do the filtering, but the humans write the algorithms. What's the error rate?

I think I am most afraid of what I don't know about how this works.
Google does do some of this, but it's not fully automatic. You still mark up your content, but it makes it easy for them to pull it out: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introduci...
You also need to request it to be converted to Google Docs format otherwise you can only retrieve it in its original format.
Exactly, and from the emails and comments I have been getting it seems that this is a recurring pattern of behavior.
I have no idea. It's not the definition of "dignified existence in the US" for anyone I respect, that's for sure.
You're probably right - if net neutrality was enforced, the current pot of profits for infrastructure players probably wouldn't change all that much because of it - because the current status quo is effectively neutral.

But the argument is that this is artificially low from what it should be because service providers have so far held off from bundling because of the regulatory uncertainty. Because it's artificially low - so the argument goes - that's what explains (at least in part) the current levels of competition.

Infrastructure players claim that once regulatory certainty is provided (against net neutrality) - then, since the pot of profits for infrastructure providers will increase - this will in turn encourage more entrants to the market.

Actually - one way you might argue against their economic argument is say: okay, but if the profit pot is only being increased because infrastructure players are bundling content, then infrastructure players that want to give users completely free reign to surf where they want will be priced out of the market. Bundlers will be able to subsidise network access at a lower price because of income generated through the content. Non-bundlers won't be able to do this and will quickly go out of business... Since big media content is already tightly controlled by a few large corporations, only a few infrastructure players will be able to provide such subsidies. Ergo - competition at the infrastructure level will be as bad as ever if not worse, while competition at the content and user level will disappear completely.

And yeah - who doesn't believe really that corporations want to destroy the competition that the internet represents.
Online driving route apps like Rand McNally, etc. Thinking about it, these sites must have been hurt a lot by the features in Google Maps in recent years..
Why would Apple create a serious competitor to their proprietary app stack when it's doing so well though? Seems to me the last thing Apple wants is to encourage cross-platform native-quality apps right now.

You may want to check out Warp [1]. Another quite popular haskell project you may have heard about is this compiler some people use... is called ghc :) [2]

OsmocomBB is not the way, what they have is a patchset over closed source GSM firmware, they merely patch DSP firmware on the baseband to bend it a little.

but we already have open source GSM/LTE implementations, everything is ready from the hardware (various SDRs), thru baseband openbts, to whole network controllers like openbsc
Seems like a weird takeaway to me. As far as the consumer is concerned wifi and cellular serve the same purpose. The speed argument isn't even really that relevant when people can already play Overwatch and other latency sensitive games on a mobile hotspot, the shortcoming there isn't speed it's simply data use. I'd much rather just have a mobile network I can connect to anywhere and let the tech crowd pay extra for features and politics only they care about.
Don't adjacent solar panels shade be each other? If not, then are the panels spaced less dense than they could be if they were fixed?
I want to ask what happens to those who are still getting under graduate degrees in UK who are originally from EU. Will they find it easier to get job in EU or will they be leaving UK?
It ferments.
China and S. Korea did very different things. It appears likely that only China needed to do what China did, and that the rest of the world can kill off this pandemic with less draconian measures.

In the U.S., our nearly complete lack of leadership at the federal level set us back by at least a month, but state and local governments are catching up fast.
I recall many a Kentucky Fried Chicken and Popeyes in less than great areas having a mechanical container the worker placed food in instead of opening the window. They were for safety, I havent seen them in almost 15 years but im sure some is still using them
No one should be downvoting such a high quality and well researched post. Hacker news truly embarrasses me sometimes
The article is basically saying "we're going to be fine if we continue implementing extreme social distancing measures".

In other words, if we stop panicking, and big hotspots don't implement extreme social distancing measures, we won't be fine.

A certain level of panic is required to enforce efficacy of these social distance programs, so it seems dangerous to spread this message less people begin to act out of self interest.

There's a related set of blog posts[1] that go into some details of the memory limitation problems when making the C64 port.

This is good advice, and is meant for service based sites that are now more important than ever. But I’m not sure how many service providers can even afford to spend time and money on such things and risk more failures in this process than the current timeouts or other issues. The largest companies would’ve already optimized these (to a great extent) long before this pandemic.

One can only hope that in the coming months, websites focus on reducing their bloat and catering to audiences with restricted bandwidth (if streaming services are already doing their bit to reduce traffic, so should others).

For truly static websites, the ones without a lot of dynamic or frequently changing content, what good CMSes exist that can easily adapt to or be used with SSGs (for self-hosting, not using Netlify or some other site)?
Rant alert: I've realized there is a big problem with logic programming: the two cultures of mathematical logic, and logic programming.

In math logic, you learn propositional/sentential logic, then spend a lot of time with predicate/first-order logic. At this point, you can "return to mathematics" to do any math stuff imaginable under the sun. However, if you want to spend more time being a logician, you can delve into a wide variety of topics, second-order logics, constructive logic, model theory, proof theory, etc, etc, etc.

Computer-science/logic-programmers on the other end?

First they don't start with prop or pred logic. Absolutely zero building-from-the-ground up about how you could do computations using prop, then maybe move to more sophisticated stuff like pred logic.

No, they will throw Hoare logic at you, and Horn clauses, and relational databases, and bound and free variables, and cuts, and what not. And if you complain, I guess you're just not cut out for logic programming. (I guess hardcore full-time mathematical logicians are not cut-out for that either, including Godel mind you).

You think they'd stop there. I'm afraid not, far from it.

Next they want you to spend all your time about learning about Church and Turing, and Curry-Howard correspondence, and to pretend like "real" logic started in 1933, and 1936, because anything before lambda-calculus is too inferior to be used in computers.

Oh but wait, they're not done yet.

Now they want you learning a brand new foundation of logic, math, and CS, that even mathematicians hardly need or use for 99% of their work. They want you to think in terms of type theory, and category theory. (So I guess when they say 'brand new foundation' they really mean 'brand new pair of foundations from which you can pick').

I'm starting to think there is something seriously wrong with the way logic is approached in theoretical CS, and logic programming. It's not minimal, and appears to serve as an elitist gatekeeping device, while mathematicians are going about their daily lives producing spectacular results with just prop+pred logic, and category theory has only started getting used in a tiny fraction of mathematical work.
a) I totally agree. b) It can't be that difficult to compare our current costs of welfare redistribution to the amount of welfare we redistribute, right? So what is everybody still talking about?
Well it's a first step.

The next step is pretty obvious: Use voice recognition software to analyze the remarks made by the announcers over the course of the game and blend that into the reporting. If you can properly analyze inflection and special events from the speech of the live game you can add game highlights to the article.

If you need a focus group to make up for a lack of taste, none of the 20 will be as good as 1 from Pininfarina. It's pure luck, like monkeys throwing poop on the wall to see what sticks.

These are green threads, according to the article. That means that they must work cooperatively (they're not system threads). That means that if any of the threads blocks - say on reading a secondary web service - then all threads will block. That's because the thread switching is managed by the VM, not the kernel, so it has no control over kernel level blocking calls.

I know nothing about Ruby, so perhaps I am misunderstanding, but this would explain what he is seeing and is consistent with what he describes.

Either of you have links on this?
I imagine you're getting downvotes because of your smug hyperbole, but in essence, I wouldn't deny that that is a legit question (not the entire fontgame, I guess, but a core part of it anyway).

It's also one of the reasons to reduce use of proprietary software to a minimum. Especially, if it's a core component of the system. Flatline, it's an increased security risk you can't verify.

On a serious note: Are there legit reasons to have it being a core component?
It's not the providers like Spotify doing enforcement. Music licensing agencies like ASCAP and BMI literally send their employees out as undercover investigators to bars and restaurants. They record which songs are played, then send a demand for payment (with penalties) along with threatening a lawsuit. Obviously they can't check every bar but they try to hit enough to scare the others.
Not that many radical changes since Java 8 that I can think of. The language stays quite coherent so far. I find myself using “var” and switch with strings pretty often with Java 11.
I think the idea was that lots of indirect fire would degrade the sensors. It's really hard to armor a sensor. Lenses chip and scratch.
Yes, zoom web view worked for me on Fedora with Chromium from the Fedora repo.

As stated elsewhere, it doesn't show the same thumbnail/gallery view of non-speaking participants that you can get with the native client. I was able to share an application window, so there is some decent functionality. I don't know if that might vary with graphics stack, i.e. Intel vs NVIDIA and Wayland vs Xorg...
Can we trust Italy's numbers? They're attributing any questionable death to corona to hide their embarrassing influenza death rate. This can almost explain USA's minuscule death toll at 500 (influenza season averages 200/day).
Yep, that's definitely possible. And yet, again, you have to "setup" something. It's totally okay to do things that way. Two thoughts:

You have to have Apache setup (which, when developing a new project, you may likely not have even reached that point).

You can also save your current file by going to File > Save. But Ctrl/Cmd+S is easier (and probably what you use every day).
