> Pirates are not offering the PS4 and X1 games without DRM. Please, talk about something you know.

Because their DRM is one of the most intrusive ones. It will be broken as well, don't worry. No DRM will ever be unbrekable, that's the nature of it. Of course the more intrusive garbage they pile into it, the longer it can take to crack it. PS4 and XB1 won't be an exception though.
This is actually an interesting question for any company that makes operating systems.

* I'm sure Microsoft's Windows developers all work on Windows.

* I assume Apple uses Macs for all development right now.

* If memory serves, Google uses a lot of Macs themselves, but did at least make an effort to make it possible to do development on Chromebooks.

* Oracle... it's not clear to me that Oracle actually has anybody working on Solaris, but if they do then they have to use Solaris to work on Solaris unless they've managed to completely overhaul the build system. For everything else, OEL should at least theoretically be completely adequate.

* I'd be interested to know what IBM uses internally; AIX was a workstation OS but I have no idea if they've maintained that capability, and they own RH now so that's an option if they wanted to stay "in-house"

* I don't have any specific knowledge about it, but Red Hat absolutely could use Fedora and/or RHEL for most everything.

* Canonical is almost certainly running Ubuntu everywhere.
They're already on the path to do that by making the Mac unusable. I tried getting Little Snitch installed on Catalina and it has to contact apple before it can be enabled.

This whole "ask apple's permission" thing really annoys me.
This is really interesting, I didn't know any of this. Do you work in this field professionally?
For employees on the edge making 5-10 RMB/hour, that will be a huge burden for them. In China you need a signed/stamped release from your previous employer before you can take a new job, so they could just hold that back if there are any debts to make up.
I've found OsmAnd (app version of open street maps) to be pretty darn good. Especially when traveling and needing an offline maps.

Don't treat it like Google Maps were you can mistype an address and Google will return what you expected.

What is even more underrated is mapy.cz, and select the "outdoor" layer. The Czechs are crazy for outdoor activities and they have the best maps online IMHO.
Yup, and I don’t care. If I ever organize a protest I’ll do it on Signal, or another end-to-end encrypted platform. For daily banter I’ll use whatever a majority of my friends prefer. That’s currently Discord for the above-mentioned reasons.
> But then you can have use effects inside your thrown promise

That doesn’t sound right. The linter will certainly yell at you for doing that, and I’d be surprised if the program did not crash. The “rule of hooks” due to their implementation is that you can only call them from directly inside of a component function block, I.e. not from within an if block or a promise.

Developer choice is one of the things people cite as a reason not to use React already, since you have to pick a router, state management library, etc. What’s a couple more decisions about built-in features? =)

I will say that I feel the opposite way about hooks: I only became interested in using React after hooks were added, because classes in javascript always rubbed me the wrong way, and I want to get as close as possible to functional programming style from start to finish. We’re using it now, and reasoning about the app is much simpler than before. I can’t say how much is due to hooks specifically vs overall React app architecture, but the components are much more pleasing to my eyes!
*fewer.

Sorry had to do it.
People bought copies back in 1922 (and 1822, for that matter). Not everyone having artwork in their homes had originals. Some of those copies became so ubiquitous that sometimes they morphed into kitsch (see Dürer's "Praying Hands") much like modern art prints do today.

You could make a point that a lot less people back then had artwork in their homes back in the day, because living conditions of the masses were a lot more cramped and life was more difficult. But copies definitely were available and widespread.
Thanks. My questions weren't purely rhetorical. I do want to actually know the feasibility of ditching Spotify, and this comment may save me some time in terms of figuring out how to export to Tidal if I want to.
This time is based on inflation and the Fed increasing borrowing rates. Money managers already started to move their positions to stocks that fare well when things cool off.
So out of this mess, we might end up with a cure for the common cold?
Any currency worth using may be used for ransom. If currency can't be used for ransom, it's not anonymous enough and should be avoided. So existence of ransomware is the best marketing for cryptocurrencies. Just like terrorists using E2E messengers are the best marketing for encrypted messaging. If some people (does not matter, whether they're evil or good, just not stupid) are trusting technology with their freedom and lives, this technology is worth looking at.
I mean, actions by the Federal reserve and congress are both part of the system so it's a little unfair to say the system should work without government intervention.

Particularly this time around, healthy and well run businesses following reasonable best practices are being decimated. And why shouldn't they? A large percentage of our economy was just shut off.

Add in leverage - which isn't inherently a bad thing - and suddenly you have a recipe for disaster with a system wide increase in debtors needing to default.

We need government intervention because the free market solution to half of businesses being forced to close, is for those businesses to go under and their employees to starve and their banks get squeezed and so on
In my home state of Michigan, online learning doesn't count toward teacher curriculum or retirement. The reasoning is that not all students can get access to online learning.

It effectively makes it so there is really no point in providing online learning resources/lessons, because it will all need to be repeated/made up when the students get back.
I think most people would be sympathetic to your situation, and are having their lives impacted in different ways right now by the pandemic.

Have you shared these thoughts with your boss, or with your team? They might be able to help you come up with a way to share the burden until life returns to normalcy. Definitely delegate as much as you can - you're right, you'll burn out if you have to be a full time parent as well as a full time team lead.
Open Source & Gaming are both areas known for low salaries. What salary range is the "Graphics Developer" opening in?
I get you. I was a game developer a couple of lifetimes ago. I once had to investigate and fix a bug called "HANDBAG TURNS INTO A BANANA". Never had anything like that in the corp world :_(
Strange use of the word favorite.
Wikipedia appears to distinguish between "object-based" languages and "object-orientated" languages. On the subject of object orientated languages, it says:

> An object has state (data) and behavior (code).

Which is the definition I'm most familiar with. I wouldn't class a Clojure reference as an "object", as it has state but no inherent behavior.

> I would say, if the memory location is heap allocated and has mutable fields, then it is probably acting like an object

So a reference to an immutable map wouldn't count as an object for you, because there are no mutable fields?
What doesn't not fully satisfied mean for you? I might just have lower standards...
That's what I'm using while coding, but it's not friendly to all software (e.g. browsers or other programs that don't have configurable keyboard shortcuts).
This is a ridiculous question, the answer is because they are illegal, of course.

Most of us aren't willing to risk a criminal record.

I wouldn't know where I could obtain such items even if I wanted to buy them. If I can't buy something off the shelf at a retail store I'm simply not going to bother.

Sketchy/unknown supply chain.

Tons of us have jobs (or whole careers!) that we could lose for using illegal drugs, many of those jobs include random drug tests. I'm not risking my entire fucking livelihood without a damn good reason.
I think that's a consequence of pulling wealth from the future into the present to counteract the loss of wealth due to decreases in the price of labor due to increase in supply of labor from other countries and decrease in demand of labor due to automation.

Question is how far into the future are we going to keep pulling.
Why have no edtechs created a low cost version of the TI-83/84? One that mirrors the functionality of the TI calcs so that they can still be used with textbooks that are dependent on those. The article estimates the TI's cost $15-20 to make, but even that seems very high for what they are.

I imagine the harder part is getting approval from the organizations that administer standardized tests like College Board and the states themselves.
I took a look at `Mail in a Box` a few years ago then discovered https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver which I have been running ever since with no issues ... I wonder how these compare today
Maybe it won't go back down to 8, but I do consider it very likely it'll drop back down to at least 12-15. Humans simply don't work in a way that allows something to nearly triple (in value, land, whatever) overnight and stay there.

I bought at 8, I bought below 8, I bought above 8... but there's no way in hell I'm buying above ~20 for the next 2-3 years.
Doom on a bike could become a thing, I suppose.
Tether fake dollar printer has been going crazy the last few days, they printed a billion and a half in just 3 days. And no surprise there's an exact correlation between crypto prices and the amounts they print
I'd be more concerned with visa issues.
I meant more for the whole focus of the distro to be supporting specifically Mac hardware and it's variations out of the box. For instance, supporting the media keys from Mac and etc.
This is the problem I am facing. Their recommendations are not even remotely related with Social Network movie and that is just one example. If they recommended Steve jobs movie or Black hat or Sword fish then it is understandable.

Thanks for your comment though.
>I think aluminum looks better than plastic.

You've never even seen one, have you? Razer is aluminum too.

>Nice job trying to use the specs page for the outdated non-Retina MacBook

Must be all Apple's gadget spam confusing me. That was the first result returned by Google for "MacBook Pro Specs". If you want to quible over 0.01Kg, then take a look at that 0.01 inches in thickness while you're at it. Oh gosh, that MacBook is just TOO THICK to use!! roll eyes

>And nice job ignoring the processor,

On noes! Apple's newer hardware has an extra 300 Megahertz cpu on the top of the line MBP vs the Razer. I know, Razer can break out the MHz Myth! Yay MHM!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth

Oh, sorry, I forgot. MHM only applies if Apple has the lower clock speed. I must have stepped out of the Reality Distortion Field for a moment.

>RAM,

LOL. Let's talk about RAM on the iPhone shall we? Oh, RAM isn't an issue on the iPhone because <blah blah blah>. I'll use that same excuse then ;)

>storage,

Razer available with 512GB of storage. MBP available with 512GB of storage. What's your point again? Oh, I see. You can overpay for 1TB by spending an extra $500 as a BTO option. Good for you. I'm sure you're proud of that.

Ever heard of an external drive? They're pretty neat. You can hold big files on them, but you aren't punished by carrying around all the weight of a bigger main drive all the time. You might want to check into that. They're pretty nifty for the obviously 0.01Kg weight conscious traveler that you are.

>and the overheating

LOL. Glass houses man

http://machmachines.onlinelead.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/upl...

At least the Razer team was smart enough to direct heat to a no touch zone above the keyboard. Look at that. The heat is all up in the keyboard on the MBP. What a shame. Your fingers must be cooking as you type your responses.

In the meantime, Apple's still low res. Apple's still lower pixel density. Apple's still missing a touch screen. Apple still has a missing or crippled GPU. In hardware that really counts, Razer comes out on top in a big way. But yeah, you're 10grams lighter on system weight, so you win. lol

They're both amazingly talented and in Sweden, but not the same person.
Agree with that.

I'd say there's two types of software - better experience and novel functionality. You can in be a competitive business and win by offering superior service/design or go into non-competitive markets and offering functionality you can't get anywhere else.

Personally I prefer the noval functionality, being an engineering type, and slide a little on the design, but there's equally as much money in going the artistic route.

There's great technical risk in the functionality route, but there's great market risk in going the artistic route. Steve Blank talks about this in his writings.

The Lean Startup movement is about this market risk. To get a handle on technical risk you'd be better off listening to Elon Musk.
I feel the opposite. Nowadays, I can't stand reading general news without a comments section. I think it's one of the areas where "crowd intelligence" actually works amazingly well: in uncovering fallacies, subtle agendas, propaganda, misrepresentation of facts, etc. I feel I might be polluting my mind when I read a piece of general news that is not being subject to commenting.
looks like a nice little project. how did it ever get built without some crowd funding though? :)
I never noticed gender come into it on the public side, at least. A good number of people wouldn't have even been aware she was female. (Think of the Groklaw thread the other day and many assuming PJ is male.)

There was an abrasive way RRC responded to some that fired up discussions and I got the impression that this ultimately frustrated her into ending her participation. I've seen that abrasive style/response feedback loop develop with males just the same.
If you're a developer of scripts, or want to be able to dive into the source then it's easier to install them via Tampermonkey[1] which provides an editor. It also auto-updates greasemonkey scripts which I don't think chrome is able to do natively.

Real-time GC is a real thing now. Google it.
Disclosure: I work on Backbone from time to time. In the next version of Backbone we're removing the jQuery dependency from Backbone.History and making it easier to separate out from Backbone.View.

Adding support for MooTools should be as simple as overriding Backbone.ajax and a few methods from Backbone.View. There exist at least one or two projects that do this already that I know of, though I've never had a use for them myself.
What is a 13th month of salary? Is that like a bonus?

SEPA payments (for countries that are part of the Euro) should take no more than 24 hours (weekends/local holidays not withstanding). For other currencies, it can take up to 3 work days. (assuming all the transfer details are correct and requires no manual operation)
We are feeding raw bytes into a command line ffmpeg process via standard input.

Ffmpeg only reads as much from stdin as it can process. Node.js gives us a 'drain' event when this happend, which means we can pump more data into it. So we are no throttling the speed, just the flow of data.
"Alex, do you have any idea how the bottom 95% live?"

Statistically or qualitatively?

In all seriousness though, I have no aspirations of living the elite-NYC-preschool lifestyle. That being said, life is about tradeoffs and while some of the expenses might seem patently absurd, others seem like things that anyone might reasonably want for their children: to play sports, go to summer camp, to be able to get a chemistry tutor if they needed one, etc.

That's not to say that all of these expenses are necessary or that your kids can't have just as good of a childhood without them, but at some level enough of these expenses do have merit that there is a tradeoff.
Yes, but when you make a plan to find an acceptable cumulative future risk, planning to do it once a week for the rest of your life is planning to expose yourself to significantly more risk than doing it twice a year for the rest of your life.

You might still die in one of the next 20 instances. But you've added a lot more not-dead time in between them!

Saying "I can do one more with minimal added risk" every single time after not dying is true and yet pointless, because it's not a given that "minimal added risk" = "not dying." It's survivorship bias to not think frequency doesn't affect the cumulative odds of your future planning solely because you've already done a lot of trials.
Three nines is good enough for Tesla, I guess.

It is worth noting that humans make stupid mistakes like this too, but I don't think this excuses the automation's mistake. Cars don't abuse substances (okay, most of the time), so we should be throwing out like 75% of all accidents right there. Do better, Tesla. Beta testing like this is unacceptable when it is fucking with cyclist's safety.

On the technical side of things, I can see how a slower-but-still-moving object next to the car might screw with path-making. But this isn't how the bugs should be hammered out. I say we outlaw all OTA updates for vehicles. If it didn't ship with the software it's running, it's not street-legal. (And as for vulnerability fixes, Tesla's smart. Let them figure it out.)
Right, and if they've been working on it for x years then they presumably started earlier, perhaps a custom fork of chrome.
can you provide me with relevant case law where "seemingly" clearer cut cases have gone the other way? im just curious. honestly, it seems crazy that just because a company uses a blue cross, no other companies can use a blue cross. bcbs' logo has a person on it and watsi's has a triangle. this is literally baffling to me. they aren't even remotely related, except tangentially through, what, human health?
i mean, i "get it" but wow. no words.
By the time batteries become mainstream, the subsidies for EVs will probably disappear as well.
Maybe it was added after your comment but I see one on the bottom right of the screen after starting one of the guided meditations or the timer.
Indeed. 6500 jobs specifically.
I've used a computer program in order to aid me in meditating. That was a program dealing with sound, not with anything visual.

You're right that computers for computers sake is missing the point. But so is dismissing computers because they're computers, or because they're used in unconventional ways.

I can at least say that using that program made it a lot easier to get into a more meditative state. And it was not supposed to be a perpetual training wheel, more like a temporary one, until you could get the same desired effect without any sound-aid.
I agree on the open source nature. However if this editor treats github as a first class citizen (while being free/open) then it does have value to github. This is especially the case for new github features introduced in the future.
I personally have been wanting a way to compile ClojureScript to JavaScript without using the JVM. I'd rather just use the existing Node/v8 installation that I have, especially since I don't use the JVM for anything else. I know this project doesn't do that, I'm just throwing my wants and desires out into the wild and hoping they come alive.
The big difference in your comparison is that vaccines and the roundness of the Earth are very well established with overwhelming evidence supporting them. The heliocentric solar system was not well established at that time. That's what the whole discussion was about.
The biggest indicator of the success of AMD Threadripper line to me is that Intel has been forced to cut the price of their newly released i9-10980XE CPU by $1000 compared to i9-9980XE while maintaining practically indistinguishable performance.
Oh! I thought it would be a map in culinary space of soup varieties. So if wanted a sour winter soup without meat, I'd find a cluster of those somewhere in a 3D space...
But does anyone remember trying to use IE2 on Win3.11 or IE3 and having to explicitly type http:// all the time? I actually like seeing the full address instead of the "let's dumb it down instead of educating people" approach modern browser address bars implement (hide everything but the most basic URL).

I don't think it was as usable as we like to remember (he did develop it on a NeXT Cube after all, not an average everyday machine), as the spelling-out of domain addresses on the BBC was always a drawn-out lengthy "haych tee tee pee colon forward slash forward slash double-u double-u double-u DOT bee bee see DOT com forward slash..." etc etc etc because it was so new in the 1990s.

Of course I do look back in fondness before the unleashing of commercialism on the Internet and it turning into the world's leading cesspit of garbage, tracking and colossal webpages, but that's for another discussion.
I really dislike that you're hiding the data collection behind a link most people wouldn't ever click.

"Use them for research
We want to train an AI that can generate a creepyface based on just 1 image. For this to happen we need as many images as possible so please tick this box if you find it interesting."

"Use them as samples in the front page
The images will be stored and publicly served as reduced size thumbnails."

These are opt-out instead of opt-in. Hidden behind "By downloading your creepyface you accept these conditions."

Cute cat though.
I like how your last post is about domain squatting....

The poor don't tend to have the money to invest in things that generate capital gains in any meaningful capacity. That such a thing is touted as a benefit for the poor is indicative of either disingenuousness or naïveté on the part of FairTax backers.

FactCheck.org has a well researched and well citied piece at http://www.factcheck.org/2007/05/unspinning-the-fairtax/. Among the findings - anyone making between $15-30k and $200k suffers under the plan, while the rich see their tax burden drop dramatically.
This is how I write my essays. Out of order. I toy with ideas, play with arguments. Lots of disjointed paragraphs in a single document. Then I step back, look at them, pick out my strongest points and stitch them together into a cohesive paper (dumping quite a lot of work along the way).
First, there are namespaces, it's just that they are associated with files instead of particular data types. Secondly, the naming issue only tends to become an issue when you have many types which all have similar internal structure. It turns out that, in Haskell at least, you can avoid needing this often by simply factoring out the shared structure (!). If this is not reasonable then there are boilerplate-y ways to use typeclasses for proper overloading (which also respects namespaces better than this solution does).

Frankly, I have run into only one circumstance where I wanted to throw my computer through a wall due to record inefficiencies... and it only came up while trying to hand translate an the XML specification for ClinicalTrials.gov. It turns out there was a much simpler way to tackle the problem anyway.
