1. plenty of garbage collectors do not pause all threads or wait for memory to be full.

2. you CAN ask for gc anytime you want in java and in C# (you need not wait for it to happen)

3. new and delete are still integral to C++ (check out any large codebase, like llvm)

This incident should be a good argument against making live product demos (particularly those that test product 'ruggedness'), especially for a brand new/untested class of product.

I'd rather let the broader 'tech reviewers' community test it out for themselves once the product launches to public -- that'll certainly look more authentic and less staged.

I have used this for a few years as my everything backpack, originally bought it to cycle in to work because I showered at the gym (so was carrying everything I needed for the morning in there including work clothes, toiletries etc.)

- Super cheap

- Hard wearing (just about breaking after 3.5 years)

- Very large capacity (just about get away with it as a cabin bag)

- Nice little laptop sized pocket in the middle

If the volume of feasible space is small, the optimizer may have considerable trouble finding the feasible region(s) in the domain. The simple solution is to use a penalty function instead, i.e. add a term like M*max(0, 1-(a+b)) to the objective, with sufficiently large M. If the optimum is at the boundary of the feasible region, you might still get a solution that is slightly infeasible, which can be worked around with more special case logic...
Likely but the real problem with doing so is actually land. Even if you own some many cities take issue with non-permanent domiciles that are lived in for long periods (not least of all because you escape housing tax, and aren't up to "code").

However several people have done what you're suggesting by:

- Living on a boat (either out at sea, moored just off-shore, or at a marina). This can range from being cheaper, to being much more expensive.

- Campervan, or enclosed truck. They often park semi-legally overnight and move every few days to escape harassment. Bathrooms are problematic (gym? work?).

- Camping (i.e. just tent and woods). This often escapes harassment (since you aren't in a city) but you are limited by water, and often travelling to/from the site is time consuming if you wish to work.

- Living at work (if possible). Likely legal but can get you fired thus homeless.

- Living a hotel. Some people have claimed that they can live in a hotel for less than the cost of a mortgage + utilities + taxes + other expenses. Ditto with some cruises. YMMV.

- Living in a foreign country. If you work remotely living abroad or in the middle of nowhere can cost a LOT less than living in a big expensive city.

PS - In general being homeless is "illegal" in most US cities. You'd get harassed, maybe even arrested, just for being without a fixed address. Most cities will try to run you out of town (literally and figuratively).
is there a reason we should be worried about that? :)

I develop server apps all day. We don't use Unix servers, we use Windows servers. Which is great, because it means I can use C# which is one of the few programming languages available that actually has competent GUI tools.

Your post is misconstruing my point quite a bit. I don't want to learn CLI tools. (Why would I, when they're clearly inferior to GUI tools I already have? From my perspective.)

What I want is for developers of programming tools to be more aware of usability issues in their products, and to test their products with a wider audience of users. (It's obvious the authors of Git never thought for even a brief moment about usability or accessibility issues.)

Usability isn't just for mobile apps; all applications should have effort applied to make them as usable as possible to as many different kinds of users as possible.
No idea on git fetch all, but for a normal fetch it just iterates if the first one say fails it goes to number 2 in the list etc..

My cat is very adept at catching birds. Unfortunately (fortunately?), he's not so great at killing them. He's brought many over the years, and I've had to clean up plenty of feathers, blood, and poop over the years. We don't let him out on purpose anymore.

Your cat may or may not love you, but as long you enjoy each others' company, it doesn't need to. But please—keep your cats indoors. The billions number of dead birds is obviously crazy high, but cats are still doing damage to bird populations.
I don't know; it's like identifying yourself in anonymized data. It's like getting anonymized data for a study and there, you see things only you know correspond to you and then say, ha! they released my data, see here, this is my data!

So, i say I don't know because there is voice --which they should have filtered out.
I have a need for a good point and shoot this week and I got a friend to loan me his Lumia 1020 -- the pictures have been amazing for a phone.

I haven't used my DSLR in a while -- mostly just using phones due to the convenience. The drop in quality historically is so huge though that I do on occasion consider carrying around the bulky DSLR (but I usually decide not to).

But with the 1020, for the first time, I feel like the gap has been made small enough (although still not small) where I've found this past week that I've never seriously wished to have brought my DSLR.

I'm still on contract, but I think I'll find it hard to go back to any other phone camera.
Spectacular!
Looking forward to see comet Ison!

But did you learn anything ? If yes, I'd think of it as a very expensive education.
I've not worked at a game studio, but I have worked at an interactive design studio, and the basic story is the same. The artists, Flash devs, and creative directors put up with a mind-boggling amount of mistreatment[1] from management in order to build up a professional portfolio. There was a high level of turnover in the creative department, however, because once a portfolio was built, the designer would attempt to find greener grasses.

[1] 12 hour days were pretty normal for a lot of folks, and our poor Flash dev, who was pretty darn good, often worked for days straight.
+/-url("...") in the context of a DSL for building allow/deny rulesets is considerably more self-descriptive than your example from another language that isn't even an operator, just a badly named variable.

Personally, I would have gone with allow/deny instead of +/- but I'm glad the choice is available. It certainly pays off for numeric types or DSLs that involve complex nested expressions e.g. parsing grammars.
I wouldn't trust that, since there are many paths to the cheese besides document.cookie. For example, Firefox (IIRC) will let Javascript inspect all headers from an Ajax request. The cookie is just another string there...

You'll likely see companies successfully spin off of "parts" of Craigslist, which are being neglected. The major issue with Craigslist is that it's not organized well. It's extremely chaotic, requiring users to spend lots of time searching the site, learning where stuff is, and memorizing its ebbs and flows. It's this giant database of useful information which is screaming for somebody to make it simpler to use. CL prevents this with their lack of 3rd party developer support, so different databases will pop up and slowly chip away at them until they either open their API's, or die off.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It's often really hard to see that in the grander scheme of things, you're doing something bad.
Can you elaborate? Even elliptically...

Gah, I phrased it poorly. The link I provided is, as best I can tell, using it in the sense of not yet in school, literally pre-school, not about a year before Kindergarten as it is sometimes used and as my phrasing implies.
heh yes its funny i dont karma points seriously, i was mainly interested in hearing some qualitative sort of discussion but the main complaints i got were about grammar & negativity, neither of which i am particularly apologetic about. anyway, glad u appreciated & provided a thoughtful response :)

i think you are right about the "mercurial" nature. my boss says it used to be much more fun before lots of mature libraries & package software existed. It was literally about algorithm design at all points. Now things are more about vetting existing technologies to see what the most widely-accepted & reliable standards are. And honestly, there are design patterns you can learn from that but realistically I've been in enterprise Java for 2 years and with that small amount of experience, I am already finding that 99% of the work we do is trivial. Anything that would be over my head is provided in a vendor API, and with modern code we can keep our own domain logic slim enough that it almost never gets out of hand.

I think there is still a lot of interesting stuff to accomplish with code but as others pointed out, the industry is sortof over-expanded. Ideas are not leading programming so much as programming is leading to iteration through mundane ideas. The boring startup problem is the result of there being way less thinkers in the industry than do-ers, I'm sure... or that entrepreneurialism is in reality just planting the seeds of micro-corporations rather than acting as an incubator for mind-bending ideas.

Having to be a part of this mundane period is probably my fault (for straying from art toward a career in programming) but maybe I can redeem myself somehow & take a last shot at heaven. I've been thinking of starting my own company, but as a deep-sleeper cell for DSP algorithms development... continue my machine learning / AI research from my master's degree, develop some really powerful tools with heavily optimized algorithms, then try to integrate them into the commercial space (audio editing software, most likely). Hmm... we'll see. Best of luck, again I appreciate u taking the time.

Many tiling WMs support this type of layout; magnifier in awesomewm, centeredmaster in dwm, etc. The difference compared to manually performing the task being that you can cycle the arrangement through various states without extra effort or losing the previous configuration.

Of course, you can also just choose to float individual windows across background tiles in practically all tiling window managers too. I guess it depends a lot on whether the neovim use is an exception, or a layout style you use for other projects too.

A little bit of speeding is frankly just a guy thing. Believe me, you can get a lot crazier than 140kph. There's some popular roads near where I live where motorcyclists allegedly routinely exceed 160kph by a good margin, and we're not talking the straightish kind. Best I ever did was ~130 in a (admittedly outdated) track-prepped car.

However, with the prevalence of the parasite, I suspect spending a lot of time near cats is reasonable cause for suspicion, esp if they are mousers/ratters.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol9no11/03-0098.htm

^ allegedly 10-20% of Americans may have toxo, and I've heard some 20-30% households have cats.

Obviously not EVERYBODY has it, but take a 1 in 5 chance and then introduce a risk factor? I wouldn't just dismiss it out of hand.
And changes to Xcode that break compilation a handful of open source libraries/utilities that I use.

Free upgrades for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users -- wow, that's different from the Microsoft of old. Clearly they've decided that they've got enough in the coffers to be not as concerned about losing money in the short term to get some good PR.
I agree that Feature Expressions don't add power, because yes, they are semantically equivalent to C preprocessing and orthogonal to the idea of Lisp.

What excites us most about Feature Macros is that they do add power. Here is an example of something we think is powerful from the proposal - a cross-platform macro:

(case-host
:cljs nil
:clj (defmacro my-macro [name & body]
(case-target
:clj `(.println (System/-out) (str (do ~@body)))
:cljs `(.log js/console (str (do ~@body))))))
As a general rule, I get really annoyed when I come across a web page and I can't tell how old it is, especially if it is information that is likely to age rapidly. I don't care if putting a date on the page makes it less "evergreen", hurts someones SEO stats or makes the flowers wilt, I just want to know if I can trust what I'm reading.
Comparing it to uncompressed audio is a bit of a red herring. MP3s can easily do 32kbps - they sound like crap from a musical standpoint, but they do it just fine. Heck, mp3s at 8kbps still sound significantly better than my cell phone - you could run 7 audio streams at the same time on dial-up with that quality. Similarly, uncompressed video is huge, when a high-quality h.264 pass will look almost identical with massive size savings. From the several charts, it looks like CELT could be a very large improvement over the encoders they compared against (I'm assuming a relevant sampling), especially where speed is concerned, and I'll definitely poke at it and see what I think.

I very much liked the spectrograms, that looks to be a massive improvement. I've got to test it on my good pair of headphones to see just what it sounds like.

Nearly everything stimulates my intellectual curiosity; this is high-ish on my list, but that might mean years yet. Many thanks for the suggestions on info though, I'll most certainly keep that handy!
People use "fire in a crowded theater" as a valid exception for the taking away your 1A rights. "Fire in a crowded theater" was used to as an argument to support government censorship of wartime dissent. Think of what that means. If Trump was planning a war on Iran, you would have no right to speak out against it because you'd be shouting "fire in a crowded theater"
There's no meaningful difference between Joe Biden's status yesterday and his status today. I get that pretending otherwise is a good way to frame FB in a negative light, fine, but it's also weirdly close to the deluded thinking of the people who attacked the Capitol building.
Can you explain? I don't think it's constructive to hide behind analogy and cliche when you could come out and tell us the causes and effects that you think are happening here.
The comment is flagged so I can't see what they were referring to, but I'm guessing it's the counts for Wisconsin and Michigan, which around 4am did indeed spike a few hundred thousand votes only for Biden, exactly enough to push it from "clear loss" to "close race".

You've got to love NPR's precious concluding paragraph:

"Experts had expected retaliation by the Chinese government against BBC reporters in China, even though the BBC is editorially independent of the British government."
And, since USD is inflationary, we expect it to become less valuable (real value) over time which encourages investment and spending today. Since we don't have crazy levels of inflation this doesn't fully discourage savings (with a 10% or higher inflation rate you have very little incentive to save, with 1 or 2% your savings lose value over time, but slow enough that it's still worth saving). Economies are improved and sustained by moving money, not by stagnant money.

If you can't understand the value of cryptocurrencies that doesn't mean they are valueless. It'll be easier and more obvious to notice as these systems mature.

The idea of giving all of my financial info to a 3rd party online service just strikes me as a terribly bad idea.

I've been using Studiotax free for years... this year they've introduced a fee to use it... so now I'm reconsidering my (off-line) options again.

Perhaps if this year we revolted and submitted paper tax forms then maybe the CRA/IRS would re-consider providing their own online system!!
>As far as scaling Bitcoin goes: prove it. It’s been a decade and it still does 4tps.

Sure. The Lightning Network already exists, is working and in use, and can in principle do essentially unlimited TPS.

Bitcoin doesn't need to scale to millions of TPS to be successful (since payments and microtransactions aren't its only use case), but it so happens that it can do that through second layer technologies.
Not everyone agrees with that view. I for one would rather people spent their hard-earned money in a smart, slow and well-thought way than feel compelled by inflation to do so fast and lose.
I agree that we should demand an open public standard but essentially it is still a cost nonetheless. We're just pushing around the costs to other companies instead of absorbing it within our own company. I think the government does stand a chance in demanding which standards they will accept though but for small companies looking to do business, it's gonna be a challenge trying to get customers, suppliers, partners etc to give you a format that you specify.
Well, them and Yahoo
