No, a large portion 72 million Americans don't. They still believe fringe theories and conspiracies like 5G signal caused COVID-19 or election was stolen.

Actually, what you can't stand is the GNU tool chain and other various accompaniments like X11 that are considerably long in the tooth. Technically, Linux is a very, very small part of the average Linux distribution. Hell, you can sub out Linux for one of the BSD kernels and the average user would have no idea.

In the time it took you to write your rant, you could have checked, found out you were wrong, and then saved yourself all that typing.
Admittedly, a .22WMR is pretty much a different animal than the .22lr. Out of a rifle, it would have probably been a through and through, assuming a FMJ bullet -- you'd probably get 2000fps for a 40gr. A JSP might not have, and out of a Ruger Single Six, it's a lot closer to a really hot .22lr rifle.

I think I have just experienced what a non-technical user feels like when talking to a hardware geek.
I was wondering why shut it down?...this is a great product/tool - easy to use. Great exit.
There are two other possible explanations.

(1) Languages that borrow don't just borrow when they "need" to. For example, most languages have perfectly good ways to communicate "okay", but may borrow it nonetheless. But over time the borrowing may displace the native words or limit their applicability. The Chinese may be anxious that sinitic words will shrink in semantic scope once widespread borrowing takes over. This is not a disaster from a linguistic point of view, of course; it is just language change. But those that deem foreign borrowings illegitimate out of a sense of nationalism will be left with a sense of a shrinking language. Perhaps this is an element in the chauvinism you mentioned.

(2) In the long run, having a language with words of diverse etymologies makes a language harder to learn, cf. English. I don't know if the Chinese government deserves credit for realizing this, though.
People would not be discussing speedier solutions, if there weren't these fast NoSQL DBs. Plus 1 for NoSQL.

Another aspect where this solution will always lose under real load, is the speed loss due to locking and blocking. CouchDB for instance uses MVCC, which never blocks.
Has the battery life indication been improved since the demo units? I know lithium ion battery life estimation is hard but I am curious if you have made any improvements since then. My work android phone crashes all the time and so I empathize with you for having to program for it. My personal iPhone is much more stable and I would imagine that it would be roughly the same for your app.
once you login and the fact that you're logged in is passed around via a cookie, unless the entire interaction with the website is over HTTPS, the session can be hijacked in any wifi coffeehouse, rendering the limited usage of HTTPS mostly pointless.
I've been working with Cocoa for 20 years, back from the NeXT days. I certainly see where Swift is going, and there's a possibility that it will surpass Objective-C in the future, but for the time being they will live together in relative peace.

Objective-C provides a number of patterns that aren't available in Swift due to the dynamic nature. For example, transparent network proxies are possible in Objective-C using message forwarding techniques. Similarly, it's possible to swizzle method implementations under the covers so that a replacement mechanism can be called instead. These don't sound like much but they are used to implement some powerful mechanisms, like the observable patterns and key value binding that is built upon it.

Swift is really a much better C++ than a better Objective-C. The language is terser and the underlying compilation mechanism can perform more optimisations than C++ (or Objective-C!) can. For example, Swift has the concept of a module (aka framework) and the Swift compilation can provide module-visible functions that can be called between different classes but still be optimised at the module level (e.g. in-lined).

There are a lot of compromises in the language at present; it can fallback to generate an Objective-C class which then means that the Swift optimisations aren't effective; and when data is passed from one layer to another it may have different performance characteristics (a built-in Dictionary will perform differently than an equivalent NSDictionary, even if they can be used in the same way).

A lot of the problems stem from the fact that Objective-C has grown over time, and itself has had new mechanisms added. Blocks were only added relatively recently, and so some APIs have support for callbacks with blocks, whilst older APIs don't have block support. Those that do support blocks work particularly well with Swift, because you can have a trailing lambda(closure) and pass that in as a block; if it doesn't then it involves writing a separate Swift/NSObject class that implements a callback interface, which increases the size of the codebase.

I would imagine that Apple will focus on the important things - like fixing the compiler/xcode bugs (they've got a lot of work to do there still) and introducing newer features/fixes (class members can't be that hard...) before there's an exhaustive overview of the APIs. That said, I think the existing APIs will largely do their own things (being looked after by different teams), perhaps adopting blocks where they are not yet present, but there would have to be a big shift away from things like UIKit in order to make a change.

Close observers will note the UI layer is already being abstracted with CoreGraphics (a C library) and Metal (a lower layer C library) so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine a new UI layer written in Swift -- but Apple will keep that under wraps for a long time until it is baked.

Disclaimer: I published Swift Essentials (http://swiftessentials.org) and expect Swift to only grow from here, even though Objective-C was my first love.
Yeah, that was such a powerful scene, though it wasn't an airport but the lobby of the Istanbul Hilton.
We shared the same reaction.
I`m a writer, so I hope so, but that's what my readers should answer. Either way, I always thought that not only your main job/profession/specialization should define you and your influence on the world. I`m an active volunteer since high school and I think that everyone should participate in similar activities as well (it`s good to you and to the people who surround you - https://ivypanda.com/essays/volunteering-phenomenon-definiti...).
e.g. between children with well-educated and less-educated parents

Well surely we should expect a genuine difference in intelligence between children of well-educated and less-educated parents? At least under the assumptions:

a) Intelligence is at least partly heritable, and

b) More intelligent people are likely to get more education
I don't think your explanation is correct, simply because it doesn't give an evolutionary advantage to pray for something that may or may not come true. On the contrary you spend precious resources on something superfluous.
Yeah, that's the main reason I've quit using the Readability bookmarklet. Auto-loading is a killer feature.
Yes. I would go out of my way to not work with the author of this horror.
The fact that you stayed on MacOS I think says enough.

Wow, thats cold... I'm the zealot? There is some personal inertia in switching desktop platforms...
My point being that there's plenty of marketshare for both platforms to succeed. The competitors are currently larger, and really don't have a compelling offering compared to Android and iPhoone.
You are over complicating the issue and misunderstanding it. Quite simply the loser of a law suit typically bears the costs of court fees and legal expenses for both parties unless a different arrangement is negotiated. How high those expenses are are irrelevant to this issue and are generally not known before or during trial.
Those times usually not that big of a deal anyway. Too cold you can dress up against, to warm could be a thing depending on where you are, if you're late then a bike is probably the fastest mode of transport through a busy city anyway, carrying things is definitely possible.

And these situations aren't common anyway, and I say that living somewhere where so many people bike everywhere all the time that finding parking can be an issue (though is still much easier than finding parking for a large steel box on wheels.)

Isn't it just scraped public data?
Calling it a leak for data that's public seems odd.
I use a random DoB for every website.

(The only exception is banks because it has to match what's on my ID and credit report)
Great points! I am working on a post about this and will incorporate this observation.
I think the idea is what once the unforseen does happen, that you encode the decision you made into the rules.
I have a stack of them in my office. The Real Book, the Real Christmas Book, the Real Rock Book and more. They are awesome if you can sight read and great as a learning tool.
I suppose a well meaning spammer could just SMS everyone pretending to be Facebook.
Yeah, I think my experience might have been different if I had access to someone who was familiar with Bazel or Blaze or perhaps even if I were trying to build Java instead of Python. Hopefully things are better now and next time I take a stab at it I’ll have more success.
I don't get this reference. Links?
The moderators probably fixed the link to circumvent the blogspam.
Do it yourself. You won't find someone else half as good as yourself and will waste too much time and money trying. Once you have traction money will be there if you need it. Of course, you probably won't since your cost structure will be much lower.
Seems there's at least some direction the new java owners want to head at.
Within my current design, it would be a matter of letting someone other than the customer/consumer see the progress. With a parent/child relationship, the parent can simply say, "show me." Putting in a separate parental monitoring capability may be selling point (even if it doesn't get used). Thanks for the idea. I'll ask some of the current parents what they think.
What? No, there's also plenty of algebraic geometry, category theory, algebraic topology, etc. Maybe not as often, but you can also find other topics, like differential geometry, set theory and logic, etc. What you feel it specializes in is probably a result of selelctive attention (depending on which questions you look at most), unless of course, you have some statistics to back up your claim (in which case, I'd still say there's enough activity in other fields for it not to matter).
I am still not sure he is incorrect in that. Maybe the time frame is wrong (when did he say it?), but still.
simply enough: it's. not. their. fault.
Can you expand on how it's different/better from readability? What were you hoping to accomplish with your fork?

I tried going to toadjaw.com but was given a login page.
2000 Loc/year. Wow, that's almost hard to believe.

I know people who write that in a day when they start a new project.

Of course LoC isn't the best metric, but still.
We call it "culture".
Public restrooms don't help, people do it despite those, and often near them. We've had people come in during a change window late at night, and go right outside our office door. The custodian said he passed the person on their way out, and had to clean it up. Then there is that moment you realized someone tracked some into your office after walking to get lunch. It's very offsetting.
The bulk of industry ML work isn't actually suited to ML phds without engineering skills. I work in FAANG and this is a huge problem where the ML phds have poor communication with skilled engineers and a lack of engineering experience. They often even look down upon people who don't have fancy credentials. Unfortunately they just end up creating a money wasting disaster of a system.
> We don't really need any more technical breakthroughs for electric cars.

You sure?! Battery technology is in dire need of breakthroughs.
One silver lining of the diesel emissions scandal. Some people actually going to jail lit a fire under VW's management.
This is an amazing lack of security best practices. To me, this screams outsourced. Given how many people hate Tesla, they need to be taking this seriously. This truly blows me away. This is "people should be fired" levels of organizational incompetence. There's no way some of these issues haven't already been noticed and put in the issue tracker. They're just not taking it seriously. It reminds me of Boeing to be perfectly honest.
Regarding avoiding copy-paste; I'm a JavaScript developer, and from time to time, I run `npx jsinspect src` in the root of my projects to detect copy-paste. The results are always interesting.
VMs do not have direct access to the physical GPU. Worse even is that the virtual GPUs on macOS are not accelerated. So for a VM your rendering will fall back on software based (CPU based) rendering.
Apple does not expose the APIs which are needed to be able to write a GPU accelerated driver for VMs.

IOW a VM is no good for playing games when using macOS.
Trigger warnings are incredibly important for PTSD sufferers, and every time people criticize them or make light of them, they forget about the victims of CSA, the veterans, the disaster survivors, and others who struggle daily to manage their mental health.

People will spend their money somewhere. As everything else gets cheaper, they dump more of their money into accommodation.
As I recall Verizon didn't do that out of spite, they did it for a variety of reasons that were pretty much Microsoft related, like it being late and lacking some necessary features. I suspect the ways in which Microsoft screwed over or tried to screw over T-Mobile didn't help,
Because as the Arctic warms, the Jet Stream becomes more chaotic and reaches further south.
We do this to pretty good success at the Big 4 I work at as well. The process by which these post-morterms get assigned can occasionally get political -- e.g. manager A dislikes or is trying to make a move on manager B so he pushes for a detailed post-mortem for every little issue that B's team has -- but the post-mortems themselves tend to work very well in exposing and correcting process failures without placing individual blame.
Was the cooler eastern US an anomaly or is this an expected long term result?
Aren't compulsory fees to support local broadcasters a bit out-dated? (Regardless of the blatant abuse of the law here.)
Yes, that's the only reasonable way to go.

But you still need to learn how vanilla emacs works.
He must have really short arms if he can not even reach across the screen of an iPhone 6.
A lot of the problems with social mobility in the US could be solved if universities didn't get to handle their own admissions. Interviews and "letters of application" are just a way to let wealthy sponsors get their kids into the best education. Why not just say universities either hand over their admission to a central agency OR agree to base all admission on objective parameters like standardized tests or grades?
> Why do they have any value?

Because people want them. And why do people want them? Because they find them useful for transferring wealth (see the remittances market: people no longer have to pay 10% or more to Western Union and banks), and as a store of value. It doesn't matter that you don't find them useful, or that you write angry comments. If you don't like Bitcoin don't use it, just like you don't use many other things. Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin is 100% voluntary, there's no violence involved.
I uglify my code to cut down file size and not because I worry about protecting my code from copying because very few applications really contain something novel enough that a motivated person couldn't copy you even without access to code. Instead, focus on providing better value to your customers. If you do have some novel piece of functionality that you absolutely must protect, implement it on the server.
I just can't believe anyone would really keep journals like this outside of movies.

The CEO of Google once sent someone an email which said, virtually verbatim [+], that he would appreciate them not talking about the illegal act he had just ordered over email because it would open them up to a lawsuit.

We know this. Guess why.

[+] The quote, in case anyone thinks I'm being too harsh in my summary: "I would prefer that Omid do it verbally since I don't want to create a paper trail over which we can be sued later? Not sure about this.. thanks Eric" (The antecedent was to "it" was "share with eBay and Paypal executives Google's internal anti-poaching rules as they pertained to eBay/Paypal for the purpose of eliciting their continued cooperation in the conspiracy.")
I have friends who are twins. They too are opposite handed. They say it has something to do with sharing the womb (arms touching / pushed together?).
But what we need is a 4th option: a new SIGNOMEM that gives the process some time to release memory, or shut down cleanly if it can't.
Time to move my bookmarks from Delicious.

Google Bookmarks looks like a possibility. I don't care that it doesn't have the social thing and I want something with good browser integration.

Does anyone have an working instructions for migrating to Google Bookmarks? Most sites refer to this page which appears to be broken - http://persistent.info/delicious2google/
First impressions on the overall speed of the site are not that great. It's running very slow, certain features aren't working, etc. For instance -> Uploading a background just isn't working for me.
And you didn't try War and Peace? I did. Which term occurs more often in the corpus do you reckon? Try going back to 1500. Are you surprised? How about trying Love and War for all you hippies out there. What does this all say about humanity?
You do not transfer copyright until you are paid in full. Partial payments do not count. If they have not paid, every system and backup of that system that has your piece of code in it must be taken down, by your own hands if necessary as stated in your work contract. Also make sure everything is tracked with git or something similar so you could even automate removing the parts you have written. If you build on someone else's work, that derivative work would be yours and you can remove it. Thats about the closest equivalent I can think of a software lien.
My logic isn't circular. The second part describes how someone who did nothing wrong typically acts. My point is that people are not very good liars and often fail to accurately act the part.

In any case, I have no clue whether he had anything to do with any backdoor, just trying to make the point that his response is not what I'd expect from someone who had nothing to do with it -- possible exceptions: If he's an unusually egotistical person or if he has significant financial interests which the perception that he was involved could disrupt.
yes, now that I understand it, it is pretty cool and it must have taken a lot of work to get it right.
Paying large engineering costs upfront is "awesome"?
imho we somehow got tricked into fighting each-other instead of fighting the system(s) which created inequalities.

It's the same thing with "white male privileges", when you start fighting literal "white males" in general and not "the system which is biased against females/people of color" you already lost, no matter how much energy you put in the fight. I'd even say the more energy you put in the fight the more you'll lose, both politically and humanly

People at the bottom of the ladder are equally fucked no matter if they're white, black, &c. while the people at the top are thriving like never before and doing everything they can to stay in charge. There is an insane amount of hate in a lot of people these days, hate generated by decades, if not centuries, of abusive systems, it should be redirected toward meaningful goals instead of these meaningless token achievements. Reading and learning about modern progressivism feels like a parody of previous civil right movements.

People have all the reasons to be upset, some people more than other, that being said the fight should be vertical, right now it is mostly horizontal. We have to think in term of classes, not races, otherwise we're heading towards self destruction
I guess I'm triggered by people who feel the need to get in officers faces and video them when they are trying to do their jobs. I'm sure my privilege is showing, but cops don't hassle me because I don't do stupid stuff. I don't deal or use drugs, beat my significant other, steal cars, etc. My last interaction with a cop was getting pulled for not having a front tag on my car. "No prob officer, I'll take care of it." I don't make a thing of it when somebody "disses" me. I don't "not show for court" or anything else that causes me to be flagged for outstanding warrants.

I'm not saying there aren't some abusive, nasty cops out there. But the "nice" cops aren't so effective when dealing with nasty people.

Number 1 way to prevent violence during arrests, or avoid arrest is (Ding Ding!) BE RESPECTFUL.
Well, some schools are already implementing things like black graduations. Many diversity trainings force people to remain in or leave the room based on race. So sadly, I wouldn't be surprised either.
“How's that better?”

Because it doesn’t require invasive surveillance.
The police are being obnoxious but they are exploiting the streaming platforms and the rightsholders. That's where the problem is.

It doesn't making any sense to ask the rightsholders to pressure the police to stop using a tactic that only works because the rightholders want it to work.
The Glock 17 was introduced 39 years ago, not quite 50 years but still.

It's also worth pointing out that while the manufacturing techniques used by Glock were new the actual design is essentially identical to the browning hi-power.
you have a good point about http request size.
But any high performance framework would not buffer the whole request to later parse it. it will do incremental parsing.

Meaning you don’t need to read all the bytes from the tcp socket before deciding which route to take.
And also the handler for that route is given a stream object and will just read as many byte as it need.
race-based discrimination is just as unproductive for society as racism and being racist

so many people are willing to deflect to an argument over an academic definition of racism that nobody uses colloquially, except when convenient for some people to levy their own race-based discrimination at others and exempt themselves from criticism

the federal government has prosecuted race-based discrimination for 50 years, thats what their own agency calls it, "race-based discrimination".

we have the anti-troll spray already created by Congress, and it seems like nobody noticed
>talking normal usage + spilling drinks a few times a year

I've definitely dumped at least one cup of tea into mine, possibly even more, and it's still working perfect. It's quite bizarre actually.
