I'm probably one of those rare programmers who has never had any real experience with OOP. I can tell you that reading about design patterns makes my head spin. I've been able to understand a few design patterns, but that has been because I've had an actual, practical problem in my code and the design pattern could be applied to solve it.

Take as an example the following paragraph from Wikipedia:

> The essence of the Mediator Pattern is to "define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact". It promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and it allows their interaction to be varied independently. Client classes can use the mediator to send messages to other clients, and can receive messages from other clients via an event on the mediator class.

I have no idea what that means and how and when I apply it in practise. It's just a bunch of abstract mumbo-jumbo, like an explanation of "what a monad is" will be.

So I still hold that the abstract description comes after you learn how to use the thing, not before it.
> Large wire transfers are simple and given the cost and difficulty of acquiring 100k worth of bitcoin would almost certainly be cheaper and faster.

I would add to that safer too. Something goes wrong you can call the banks and they can roll things back. There is a paper trail that works in your favor.
Now they just need to release the datasets as well. The datasets are far more important than the algos.
It's not about anatomical correctness. It's that the sexualization–of both the male superheroes and the female ones–is explicitly male-based. Female gaze sexualization looks different.
Does it bother anyone else when science reporters talk about some hypothesis endorsed by a lot of people as if it is just a plainly observable thing? A sentence like this

> Dark matter comprises most of the mass of a galaxy.

means just about nothing. It reminds me of when Richard Feynman was ranting about the science textbook with "energy makes it go" as the answer to some questions, and saying that you could just as easily substitute the word "wakalixes" and it would communicate exactly the same amount of information. Dark Matter is the popular name for a variable in some models of how fast galaxies of different sizes rotate. The current definition basically goes "maybe there is a lot of extra mass that we can't see and somehow doesn't interact with the visible matter in other ways."

I'm sure it's a very sophisticated hypothesis and a lot of smart people have good reason to support it, but that's what it is. Why condescend to the general public by pretending that Dark Matter is some well-defined observable thing that scientists are simply trying to measure, instead of a proposed explanation for observations that we don't understand yet?

Maybe it helps get funding, I don't know. This experiment looks neat because they're having a go at falsifying one model.
It eliminates the need for the IRS. Verification of consumption tax collection is enormously easier, and there would no longer be all the loopholes, or the ~75,000 page(!) tax code. Most importantly, those paying the taxes would no longer be under any tax-related government scrutiny.

Fourth Amendment, anyone? :-)
Amazon only offers very costly Tesla and Quadro cards on their GPGPUs. Super expensive. For scale, if you do not need the extra memory on the Tesla cards, what you want is commodity NVIDIA GeForce cards that are a fraction of the cost.
That makes total sense, but I don't think it would work. The expansion doesn't really cancel out. Imagine heating 1 mile of hyperloop by 11C, but only 1 mile. The result is 0.25m more steel that has to go somewhere.

Can that expansion really be pushed 175 miles north and 175 miles south simultaneously?

I'm not going to say that's impossible, because I'd imagine someone having similar objections to, say, the invention of A/C current. "Can pushing electrons back and forth really propagate thousands of miles?"

But if you visualize the implications of that, it's intuitively difficult to believe the expansion can be transmitted to the endpoints across the entire length of a solid steel tube 175 miles away. That would move an incredible amount of mass. Surely at some point the weight of the tube overcomes the steel's desire to expand, so the result would be the tube either scrunching up like an accordion or going in the lateral direction.

(Jacques said sleeves could be the solution so that thermal expansion can't accumulate, but it seems like sleeves would introduce problems for the pod, possibly severe ones. When a pod travels over a sleeve, it would feel like a jolt, if I'm understanding his idea of "sleeves" correctly.)

I'm so happy someone is actually engaging with the comment and tossing ideas around with me though.
I didn't know this was so popular of a question. I've been asking it for many years. I love it because anyone with expertise in any part of the system should be able to answer it. Are you a networking guru? If so, you should be able to talk a long time about the network bits. Are you a kernel guru? Same. Etc. It also gives me a good idea how broad the interviewee is.

It is always amazing to me how many people fail the question so badly. I've really had only one person answer it reasonably in all these years.
Hey, it's not really helpful to gatekeep science. Anyone can be a scientist, engineers especially.
People did not blame Spain for xenophobic reasons, just because the Spanish press was the first to report on it.

And, as pertains to the virus's origin, COVID-19 did come from China, and we know that. We have epidemiology to guide us here, and the situation is altogether different from 1918 w/r/t speed of communication and the state of science.
I can't see how this agreement is supported in the US constitution since it essentially voids the judicial system in favor of some external agency. Even if they can't force a change in laws, fining the U.S. a trillion dollars or something or face crippling trade embargoes amounts to the same thing. Of course U.S. politicians see it as allowing U.S. corporations to dictate foreign laws but are blind to the likelihood of that backfiring terribly.
"My teammates have tons of experience, and there is a clear “every man for himself” mentality. Most of them have big egos and really rotten and bitter attitudes. They are stars, they know it, and treat people who are not at the same level like idiots (like idiot me)."

I'd get the fuck out of there as fast as possible. With that kind of environment, it is only a matter of time before it crashes and burns.
People do not enjoy being poor. They enjoy to be rich and choose to live a poor life.

I heard, the USA has deserts, too. And have you seen Dubai recently? Everything can be fixed with enough oil. Another example: Russia. Nobody conquered them either and it is the biggest country on earth with only 143 million inhabitants, so I bet, they find a way to feed them. Still life expectancy for males is 62 over there.

Westernization might not sound very romantic to people having it, people not having it, might think very different. Ask people from West and East Germany and you will get the idea.

The biggest plus of westernization/capitalism is, that you can not use VW to produce tanks to conquer the world anymore, because they would rather not have their own factories in other countries bombed.
SEEKING WORK - Primarily Remote, with potential for short on-site trips.
10 years experience across a mixture of Ops/Infrastructure and web application architecture and development, with a focus on solving unique/uncommon problems.

I'm not talking about a court-mandated warrant. I'm talking about a friendly chat with a fellow law enforcement person who cordially asks for help - who needs warrants between friends? And you do want to be friends with the law enforcement, because it's a bad enemy to have, aren't they?

> It is not their duty to ensure that you can say anything here.

I'm not saying it's their duty. I am saying you can't at the same time claim anonymity is alive and well and say nobody actually will protect your anonymity once push comes to shove. If that's the case, then anonymity essentially does not exist where it counts. Nobody cares that you can anonymously praise the Dear Leader. Anonymity is only important when somebody has real reasons to want to break it. It's like with free speech - nobody worries about speech that everybody likes being free. You only need free speech protections when somebody actually wants to censor, otherwise it's just vacuous.
If the firm instead took out loans to pay out dividends would you feel differently? Now what if they did it every year at a increasing pace to the point where it's expected that firms take on debt to support ever larger dividends? That bubble pops eventually and is what I see happening with buybacks.
Funny, I had checked that out pretty recently too. Another I thought was really interesting was indiehackers.com. There's just something about a well-made forum that can capture the sense of clique community that allows it to grow unlike the smorgasbord of information that say, FB or Twitter provide.
Not to mention podman's historic[1] lack of compose support (or similar), which is frequently used in CI and local dev environments. I think has really held it back for a lot of folks.

Exactly what I felt after reading that. What does the intersection between NLP and financial marketing mean? I'm genuinely curious - hopefully the parent commenter will provide a link to the service/product.
Random opinions:

* I'm not a big fan of Google's ubiquitousness and power, but

* I think a 'link tax' is not the right way to go, but

* I think Microsoft is being opportunistic here.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
> TBH I struggle to see how the new interface could be considered better in any respect worth considering.

I think the new interface integrates more seamlessly with ads, so from reddit's perspective, I can see why they'd prefer it.
High complexity and relatively low reward. There have been many attempts at these sorts of dual architectures through history, and they've mostly been abject failures for various reasons (there have been some dual PC/Mac designs from the 90s, those Sun PCI cards with 80386s built on them, etc)

At the low end of complexity, you could put a raspberry pi on a pcie daughterboard and just power it off the slot, and maybe fake a NIC to the host for file transfer.

That's not really any more useful than just having a separate, dedicated raspberry pi though. To be useful, you need to implement some sort of deeper synchronization. Perhaps you could have a shared memory aperture between the two systems, a virtio style interface (but physical, not virtual!) with the associated protocols for passing through files, visuals, etc.

But it's all complicated and expensive, and in the end unless you're doing CPU level debugging and need to sync a debugger with low level CPU state, there's really not much advantage besides some space saving to just having a separate x/y/z on your desk.
Yes, I use it quite frequently. Quite a few wallets support it, and a small but growing list of merchants / exchanges work with it:

* Bitfinex

* River financial

* Fold App

* Bitrefill

* OKEx
Perhaps it's to make things (slightly) easier for people used to ISO layout keyboards? You could set both touching keys to be enter, and not have to relearn muscle memory - kind of, because you'd still have a weirdly long lower-enter compared to what you were used to.
Word absolutely has this functionality, and it's about as complicated as git, which is why only people who use Word professionally use the functionality. It's just too complicated compared to using the file metaphor you're already familiar with.

Was Modern Series 7 compatible with the 4-line system? The thesis seems to imply the 4-line system and Times New Roman Series 569 were linked.

(page 13 compares hand-set Series 7 with 4-line set Series 569).
That is serious and useful, unlike the groundless claim of natural origin. The lab in Wuhan has been publishing coronavirus research for many years. In some of the research, they cause bat viruses to replicate in human cells by using the ACE2 receptor... exactly as this pandemic does.

Here is China making a virus like this one, even acting on the ACE2 receptor and testing it in human cells, publishing it in early 2008:

https://jvi.asm.org/content/82/4/1899

Here they are again, years later, still playing with extremely hazardous coronaviruses that act on the ACE2 receptor in humans:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12711

When an outbreak of exactly that type of virus happens right next to the lab, the only reasonable assumption is that it came from the lab. If there were a sudden outbreak of smallpox next to the CDC lab in Atlanta, we wouldn't just shrug it off as a natural occurrence. The same applies here.
This is Israel’s “response team” to the pandemic. good luck with taking advice from the only shtetl in the Middle East.

For the last 25 years, many apps have come with their own JS engine for scripting abilities. Ms Office, Photoshop, et. al. Not just the web browser. And more and more "native" apps have a built in JS engine. And then there's apps that not only have a JS engine, but a whole browser (Electron, Nw.js).

So it would be difficult to purge your system from anything that can run JS :P
Imagine what it will be when this starts hitting the food supply.
Wow! I understood it right? Your family is now able to watch CS:GO match? Can they last a full BO3?
Is there any alternative API? That is, if I'm interested in creating something that interacts with Facebook chat, am I now out of luck?

Thanks.

I'm a current VC analyst with Mitsubishi looking for a full time position following my graduation from UCLA. I'm passionate about making a difference and would love to contribute to a team with my wide array of skillsets.
Yes, I believe Looker requires an annual contract at multi-thousand dollars a month. Not sure about the other products you listed and I don't know much about cheaper alternatives
Yeah, but where is the fun in that? If you remove state level actors, you get to do all sorts of weak stuff like "yeah I checked my email from a cyber cafe without Tor once".

I do concur though. Basically my analysis came to that any customers that really wanted or needed the level of service I was considering would probably not be around long, even if I stayed hidden (purely to avoid getting subpoenas to expose them - my plans were totally legal). And if they didn't really need that level of safety, then they would not use my product, because the limitations and costs would not be worth it.

On the flip side, look how long SR operated, and how " easy " a job LE had. If Ross would have been content to have a dozen million dollars and move on early, he probably could have gotten away with it.
Can they not do this two-week project after hours? Must it be in your office, on your schedule? Where you code, the hours you code, these do not matter. The code is what matters.
I recently switch jobs and can say with certainty I had no interest in contracting or contract-to-hire positions.

Quitting a full time job for a new position is a big commitment on my part, and I'd like a big commitment on the other side of the table. Not to mention contracting gigs don't usually have insurance, vacation, or other benefits.

If it means a more rigorous interview that's okay with me.
Solo hobbies and solo work only go so far.

If you want to make an impact, nothing beats working with other people. Managing teams, starting a company with others, doing hobbies together.

Working with a team to solve a boring problem together can be more fulfilling than working alone to solve a complex problem. Don’t underestimate the value of the social component.
If you can imagine that you were a pre-Civil rights era black, under constant attack from the government, and from the majority population as a matter of social custom -- you may conclude whites are privileged.

The term white privilege is an accusatory polemic -- from a certain white perspective. Likewise a fish may not have the perspective to understand water, some whites may not understand they live in a social milieu that privileges them by disadvantaging everyone else.

The term white privilege is an inversion of the indubitable reality of anti-black discrimination, probably an unnecessary inversion.
I am curious though. Can't Google just block all access from YouTube dl?
I notice this too! I really hope I'm insane, because the implications of this are... concerning
that's being intentionally obtuse. the tax is on rents, not the land itself (nor on productive use). again, rents are unproductive, while seizure is taking by force. make productive use of desirable and productive land or sell it if you don't want to pay the tax (note: no seizure here), and move to less desirable land if you just want to own land without that pressure.

less than roughly 1% of the land area of the US would have such pressures, so you'd have plenty of tax-free land to choose from, and it'd be cheaper to buy too. productive land should be put to its "highest and best use".
Why Go? It is quite terrible in expressiveness and if you do commit to a GC you have plenty of better choices. But to each there own, otherwise I agree that systems programming is a niche and a good GC is an overwhelmingly good tradeoff in almost every case.
How do you determine quality in modern art?
I wonder why companies don't sell smaller quantities of pricier variants of fully ripened fruit then.
So instead of trying to limit the number of bots on this new social network, we'll encourage them!

Like which ones? There's the AppStore, the PlayStore and that's it, nothing else is even worth being mentioned in terms of market share.

You're right regarding the phone number. I consider it a necessary compromise. Look at the spam problem that email has.
It's not that rare, because those countries are politically unstable.

The US is one of the longest living democracies.
The C++ standards documents are famously paywalled (and I have to admit to having never read them), but here are some summaries. [0][1][2] The kicker is that according to the spec, the compiler is permitted, but not obligated, to elide object-copy operations, even when doing so results in the elision of a call to a copy-constructor function with side-effects.

Of course, the optimizer is still constrained by the spec in the obvious ways: copy operations can only be elided when the compiler can show that they are redundant (in some precise sense that the spec presumably lays out).

It follows of course that this 'optimisation' may impact observable behaviour. This makes some sense as C++ code shouldn't be doing 'real work' in copy-constructors, but it's still a rather ugly concession to pragmatism. edit Which, come to think it, describes the whole C++ language ;-P

It’s not individuals buying Tether from Bitfinex and then buying Bitcoin that causes this. It is Bitfinex as an organization ‘printing’ free money and using it to pump the market.
Closed loop means complete recycling. Crops that go to feed humans are then lost as the phosphorous and other elements are dispersed elsewhere instead of being returned to the soil.
Let’s suppose they call a customer service desk that uses Internet tools to help them—or they’ve paid for a transaction on Square. Have they technically indirectly been a beneficiary of the Internet? Does that count as using it?
I would have guessed the figure was closer to 20 %, which it was around 2010, so I guess I'm 10 years out of date.

I wonder how the survey was conducted. Is it possible that people who don't use the internet are also difficult to reach in other ways ?
In the side by side comparisons I've seen between opus and lyra at 6kbps, lyra sounds remarkably better.
These are very passive agressive and emotionally manipulative. I'm glad that they're being called out in this article.
Because I would really like to know if I'm affected. According to "Have I Been Pwned" my phone number is not in the list, but about one or two weeks ago I noticed that my spam folder was unusually full, which led me to believe that something new must have happened. Shortly thereafter Facebook's leak hit the news.

From my point of view it is their obligation to notify all the affected users. It's morally the right thing to do, and legally, well, I don't know, but maybe the GDPR says that yes, that it's their obligation to do so.

And with notification I mean to send a notification email, since I haven't logged in for months and don't intend to this year.
Sure, and if there had been a frictionless alternative that didn't require that, that would've been great - but there wasn't.
Busses don't have to have a mindset issue. They don't where I live. You'll just take the bus if it's faster than the tram or goes closer to where you want to be, that's the only consideration involved.
Oh I know what it is testing for, I just don't think a modern project needs to "checking for special C compiler options needed for large files" or check for the fsync command
