Even more than that - crypto developers can decide they want to have more than 21m (or whatever fixed number) of coins out there changing the whole mechanic of it. But it is one fork away if majority disagree. Try to fork USD.
"Because it's really messy, involves a lot of counter space, takes a fair amount of extra time, and isn't shelf stable."

This. I have a pasta roller and some different cutters and I really enjoy the fruits of my labor when I do it. However, it's such a PITA that I rarely do it - it's so much easier to throw a box of dried pasta in some water I often just do that.

I suppose that's true of just about everything in cooking but I'd rather skimp here and spend my time making some other component super awesome.
Trying to wrap my mind around the number -- 6 employees per 100,000 people worldwide is equal or higher than the number of physicians per 100,000 in Benin, Ethiopia, Niger, Burkina Faso, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Malawi, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Tanzania, Togo and Zimbabwe.
The point was probably that this is not scientific. Whatever model you come up with won't really have any predictive power. See arguments against pseudo-science, e.g. Freud and Marxist theories.
> I'm not sure how you could make it any easier TBH.

They could make it work the same way on text that isn't editable rather than making me dig into a menu. That's just one idea.
Copy and paste in iPhone works even if you quit the app you're pasting from and open a new one.

Copy and paste in iPhone is universal, or about as close to that as it needs to be. It works on essentially all text, and basically the same way in all places. In contrast Android copy and paste is much more selectively available. It is often hidden in menus that are different from application to application.

Copy and paste is one of those things that has to be done the same way everywhere to achieve its height of usability. My Nexus One does not live up to my standards for that.
Is it possible to be a "UHaul" of card processing? What are the limits for one company processing cards for another?
> It looks rather like the noise you get from a lower-end digital camera, which actually rather enhances the realism for me.

That's the advantage of ray tracing: you're simulating physical reality, so any errors emulate physical reality as well.

In the case of noise, it's simply the result of each pixel not having sufficient sampling depth, because the ray tracing algorithm hasn't been run long enough. This is exactly the same as when it happens with a camera: if you opened the shutter for a longer time period, the noise would go away (although you might not be able to hold the camera still).
If you didn't know much about this (I didn't), here's a cool animation of the expected launch and re-entry procedure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NSFZAKd-nk
Yes, I think one reason for Clojure's popularity is that it allows you to escape Java while still remaining on the JVM and being able to interoperate with your existing Java codebase.

That said, for a variety of reasons, I would actually prefer to not be tied to the JVM.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there."

This is one of my favorite quotes - first came across it while reading "And the Mountains Echoed". I'll definitely have to check out more of Rumi's works.
So what if they are stored? There has been a big shift towards using perfect-forward-secrecy as default in the last 18 months.
I appreciate the clarification and stand corrected, re: my statement on OP's own implication. That also explains why it appeared to be mis-quoted elsewhere in this thread.
Template string types are neat, and I'm excited to see what new functionality is afforded. I've already been able to use them for probably ill-advised magic (... not in production anywhere), like this type for "strings with no leading or trailing spaces":

type RSTRIP<STR> = STR extends `${infer T} ` ? RSTRIP<T> : STR;
type LSTRIP<STR> = STR extends ` ${infer T}` ? LSTRIP<T> : STR;
type STRIP<STR> = RSTRIP<LSTRIP<STR>>;

which allows things like:

function strip<T extends string>(str: T): STRIP<T> {
return str.trim() as STRIP<T>;
}
function printStripped<T>(str: STRIP<T>) {
console.log(str);
}
printStripped('hi');
//X printStripped(' hi');
printStripped(strip(' hi'));
Golf is more of a US euphemism for connectedness/social shared sports, could be anything really - basketball, racketball, softball, whatever.

As for low level... I guess you have never lived in smaller cities/towns in Europe then. People know each other and afford those they know “courtesy” of a heads up. Word spreads, etc. From there, you are only one step away from someone retaliating against you. The kicker is that those involved might not even really understand this to be somewhat corrupt behavior.
> This is a fun talking point, but the reality is more complex

Not for this project.

Autopilot and Fargate are VERY different solutions to similar problem statements.

Autopilot puts compatibility & transparency at the front. It IS GKE. It is integrated in all the same ways GKE is integrated. There's no black box between you and kubernetes, but you are absolved of the need to manage nodes, which most people REALLY don't want to care about.

Like it or not, nodes are part of the k8s API in many ways. Rather than swim upstream against that, I think Autopilot strikes a very good balance.
I'm not an expert, just an user, and have the Bresser Spica 130/1000 myself. I use it roughly once a month and it works great, but it could have bean any other telescope.

The advice I would like to give you is to start your journey with the question, what do you want to do with the telescope?

- Look at stars planets etc.. - Buy a Reflector based telescope

- Also want to look at animals - Buy a Refractor based telescope

- Do you want to make it a new hobby and take it with you to friends - Buy a Compound based telescope

- Already in photography - Buy a telescope with a camera mount NO phone mounts

- More interested in the journey of making things and testing it - buy a telescope kit

- Do you have more then 400 dollars to spend - buy a cheap one first and then buy a good one with the money that is left after a few months.

I hope that will help you with your journey.
But imagine if we put people to work building useful stuff instead of useless stuff. Power grid infrastructure, new bridges, new rail lines, etc.
We're on the internet. There's only one other human and the rest are bots.

If you go into threads about Wayland the overwhelming public opinion is that having lots of compositors is silly. And then you go into threads about browsers the overwhelming public opinion is that having multiple browser implementations is sacred.
China would argue - reasonably if debatably IMO - that the situation in Xinjiang is “internal” and thus not an issue of international peace or security.
Starlink has nothing to do with C3I. And it can easily be jammed, as any frequency can.
Well, to be fair only clueless developers were using ISO Pascal without extensions, with VMS Pascal and UCSD Pascal being two well known ones.

Just like no one was using proper K&R C outside UNIX, rather dialects like Small-C and BDS C.

I think the Student Manual more or less stands as its own text. Obviously, there are some complements to TAOE, but I don't think it's necessary for the manual. TAOE is more like a cookbook than a textbook; it makes for a great reference but I wouldn't recommend trying to learn directly from it.

If you're curious, I have some scans that you can use to preview the book.
This list reads like a multiple-choice test at a community college for a "Survey of iOS Technologies" course. Casual iPhone aficionados who read 9to5Mac would dazzle an interviewer if they were merely asked these trivia-type questions.
That's a good point and actually we usually take the institutional name out of these press releases. I've done so above now.

> Does Alsa_rnnoise work well with Pulse/Pipewire systems?

I don't think so. I think that Pipewire and Pulseaudio would like to replace that part of Alsa, and I see no documentation on how to mix Alsa plugins like this (that work with the sound) with their Alsa plugins (that transports Alsa sound to the soundservers).
You've got that spot on -- he's also a die-hard Trump supporter, and thinks the only reason Trump lost was because the mainstream media treated him so unfairly. Now that our parents passed away, he's the lone republican in the family, and keeps drifting farther to the right. Political discussions are off limits during family gatherings.
I’m no COBOL expert, but the way a COBOL program sees the machine is very different from what a C program does. I never saw anything resembling assumptions about native data types or anything similarly low level.

And I never imagined an x86 could deal with decimal floats.
Something in a financial services or similar large, bureaucratic, corporation where your job is to maintain an ancient system that everyone is afraid to change too much because all the greybeards that originally built it are gone but the company depends on it for some basic need. Note that this system will always be targeted for replacement by ambitious managers wanting to make a name for themselves but most projects will fail at the implementation stage if they get that far so you should be able to milk this cow for a fairly long time.
You said it's low barrier. That's the point I'm disagreeing with.
How many weekends did you assume he would need a truck? And what value did you place on his time and hassle, renting and returning a vehicle each of those weekends?
"Your Honor, Mister Evil here laundered $270Million of drug money through our service, but there was no way for us to know that when he signed up with the false name 'Mr Boobyface', and we didn't want to pay $2 to check if the name was valid. We're an innocent bystander here!"
This makes me wonder if it would be more useful to display the (weighted) first or second derivative of your karma score instead of the raw point total. The people who were most obviously "rising" in the graph are the ones everyone knows and recognizes around here.
Uh,

The problem is it also doesn't make a free market *well-defined".

If in a discussion "free market" has a willo-the-wisp quality in which whatever existences and is undesirable "isn't really a free market", then you haven't shown that "free market" is anything but rhetorical device.

I've never seen OpenPandora before. Thanks for linking. This made me think back on the time I had my R4DS (2007). The R4 wasn't a subnotebook but a storage device with quite a library of homebrew apps like MoonShell, SNEmulDS (I remember using this to play Earthbound), etc.
Few things are impossible. Give the author some credit. I think if your takeaway is that the author is claiming mobility is impossible, you've missed the point entirely.

The author is explaining to you the self-perpetuating cycle and psychology that keeps poor people poor, despite what they feel are their best efforts.

As a person who has struggled with poverty for decades, I find your underlying dismissal of the article as "nah, it's not that bad" based on technical nitpicking pretty offensive.

Also: in the version of the story I remember reading somewhere, all night they kept hearing trees fall. And that had a significant effect in affecting their impression of the probability.
Laws of USA and pretty much every other country reject the notion that "everything is ruled by smart contracts" and assert that legally, as far as their jurisdiction reaches, their law is the deciding factor. Contracts have their basis in contract law. You certainly can write a paper contract which "allows" some illegal behavior, and executing such a contract would be illegal, no matter what the contract says. The same applies for a "smart" contract.
Over the years I've worked with a number of different bug/task trackers. I've largely found them to be about equally good/bad but with different pain points in each. Can you tell me why you think Jira is bad and what alternative is better?
It is not a contradiction. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof as a somewhat similar example.

My consoles are gathering dust, as well. An older Windows computer still has an unfinished session of Dungeon Siege, somewhere around the house.

The wife and I instead opt for those shorter, hidden object with mini memory games that take 2 to 4 hours to complete. We play these together, taking turns who is mousing.

The service we currently subscribe to gives us a game each month for $7.00 - Much less than the popcorn and sodas, let alone the admission of a movie these days. And the service makes out, too: We end up buying one or two extra each month when we find we have the odd evening off. The service gets the steady revenue and a minor cash till ring here and there.
I've changed it from "developers" to "programmers", just for you.
I'm so sick of these Ivy League MBA's lumping all MBA programs together in their inability to teach entrepreneurship. At Babson we were learning about the Timmon's model and how to be 'lean' on day one. Long before anyone had heard the name Eric Reis. And in case you're unaware, Babson has been ranked the number 1 business school for Entrepreneurship by US News for the last 17 years, when they started ranking.

Misread the title as “which claims”, not “why claims.

The title that I imagined seemed more intriguing, as it seemed to suggest (a belief that) that some of the apocalyptic claims were true, but that some were false (and a desire to clarify which ones those are, perhaps in order to make the true ones more believed?).
Great and relevant comment from nicbou in the other thread:[0]

Someone brought an interesting perspective in another thread and I can't shake it off.
The other side keeps deplatforming them. Their legal cases are rejected. The mainstream media refuses to take them seriously. We're not even listening to them, because it's science and they're *ists if they disagree. We're not debating anymore. We just assume we're right.

We are slowly squeezing a significant segment of the population out of public debate, and they are powerless to stop it. Is it surprising that they are furious about it, and explode in unpredictable ways? Wouldn't you do the same?

Why should it be not? It will be effective as long as the core protein against which the immune system response is to be triggered will remain the same.
You're not being honest about the situation. None of the official cases were given the chance to be aired, all were dismissed on procedural grounds. The Supreme Court did not "make rulings", they refused to hear the case.

Sadly, that decision may have led to this state of affairs. When people think they have no voice, violence comes soon after.
Hahaha, America is never going to treat it's citizens well no matter who you put in as president. The owners will never allow it..

No dangerous people censored that way. Only the person that tell the truths was be censored that way. Now i think we should listen trump.
All these social media sites banning The Donald mere days before the end of his presidency just means that they've decided to shut off that particular cashflow tap 0.8% early, pretending that they didn't profit from his crazy presidency for 99.2% of its duration. Instead, they reap some "Internet nerd revenge points", which is more valuable to their brand image right now than what little trickle of profit they could extract from the increasingly rabid Trump followers.

It's self-serving and calculated in the worst possible way.
Ordos is in the middle of the Gobi. Build a ghost city in the middle of say Arizona, why would they come?
That is exactly what I'm going for. I'm actually looking for 2 things:

* If they don't know how to debug SQL, I'd like to know that.

* Do they simply say they don't know, or do they try to bluff? Are they confident about what they don't know? Like I said in a different comment in this thread, one of my greatest hires ever was a former teacher who was very confident about what she didn't know -- she never felt any need to bluff.

Given two people of exactly equal skill, if one bluffs and the other is confident enough to say "I don't know", then I'll hire the one who says "I don't know." Because then when we are actually working together, I know they will be honest with me whenever they need help, they won't be trying to keep secrets from me.

Also, about this:

"triggering the candidate’s imposter syndrome"

Given two people of exactly equal skill, if one has imposter syndrome and another doesn't, I'll take the one who doesn't have the imposter syndrome. Or put differently, given two people of exactly equal technical skill, if one demonstrates a higher emotional intelligence, I'll hire that person.

If nobody is trying to subvert your private communications, you don't need secure private communications in the first place. If you assume you need secure comms, you should assume people will try to subvert and break your secure comms.
On Mac OS X you really want to learn about DTrace.

Exactly. I live in a place with a bit less ad clutter than usual, so it's the US cities that look dystopian to me :).
He didn't say "per second" though, so the OPs quote is just a piece of bad reporting.
Half of me is genuinely curious why Microsoft would take on the thankless task of maintaining yet another rendering engine. The other half is reliving early Trident nightmares and whimpering in a corner.
They can make an informed decision about whether to bother showing up to the interview if they find themselves scheduled with her.
If you don't know just how little water it takes to drown in, then the risk isn't obvious. A newborn that can't easily move and roll over can drown face down in an inch of water if they manage to get into that position, which even gentle sliding around in a baby tub can facilitate.
I would love to know how much time he spends to get to the final product.
I’d get an 8 inch. I ended up getting a 6 inch, and it’s nice, but i kind of wish I got an 8 inch. Don’t get me wrong, the 6 inch is nice, but I think an 8 inch would be a bit better.

I got a Celestron reflector with an electric mount. Aligning it is a bit of a pain, and you absolutely need full batteries to keep tracking, but it’s a requirement if you’re looking to take photos.

> The sale to Disney happened as a direct result of Murdoch seeing the threat (i.e people moving away from news).

Then why did Murdoch effectively choose to only keep their news channels (inc. Fox News), but sell the rest of 21st Century Fox (Film & TV) to Disney?
Sounds like they weren't doing a very good job, otherwise they could have just used the information they gathered to blackmail whatever Canada's version of congress is into giving them more money like their counterpart US spy agencies do.
They also cap profits based on the original bid size. So you bid 20 million for the F35 program you get 1.5 million profit. When you overrun the 20 million to 30 million you still only get 1.5 million "profit". Typically you also have to go ask for that 10 million in piecemeal as well. I need 500k to do this and 500k to do that and the program office approves or disapproves.

Of course, the contractors probably skim a little bit off the top of the 20 million back to themselves. They might for example bill for machine team on the CNC or charge $200/hr per an employee and only pay $60 (note that they have expenses for training, downtime, office space, equipment and management which that 200/hour needs to account for so the employee isn't getting screwed that badly.

Less moral contractors might build projects which intentionally fail but meet the specifications so that the gov't needs to execute a change order at which point they would get additional fee as part of the change order, however with the DOD you can get your company put on a blacklist which will mean you cannot win any more DOD contracts. But I have heard of a California construction company doing that repeatedly over the course of 30 years successfully. In the dod world, most companies try to propose improvements to the original contract. Typically they will have yearly goals associated with submitting and winning change orders as its an easier source of revenue than bidding and winning new contracts which typically have a 30% win rate.
how much is not getting your throat slit by our enemies worth?
I just use printf \a for this.
I wasn't (although that admittedly is one of the best benefits of Clojure).

Also, that's not a listing of the total number of libraries; it's ranked based on the number of useful ones (where "useful" is a completely subjective term that relates to how often I've looked to see if a library exists that does what I want).

Racket actually has more overall libraries than you'd expect considering its popularity, but I've found that many of them are old, no longer updated, scheme libraries (from the days before Racket rebranded from Dr. Scheme). That certainly doesn't make them useless, but I'm reticent to mix scheme-style code into my project.

I'm least familiar with Clojure (I've only been deploying it for the past two weeks or so), so I'm sure my opinion will change, but right now it feels like a slightly less good Racket with a philosophy I find agreeable and more practical libraries (plus Java interop).
Objective-C really is pleasant to use for GUIs. As I noted elsewhere in this thread, I offload everything I can into C++, but between Objective-C and IB, I really enjoy building GUIs in OS X.

Anything else, not so much, but, yeah.
