It's not a copy of Candy Swipe, though. The Candy Swipe creator has been painting a really bad picture of King, but if you actually download and play both apps, you'll see they're completely different games. Even the supposed copying of the graphics and colors that the Candy Swipe dev blogged about didn't really happen. Each app uses the primary colors. That's it.
Needs more work with refactoring scopes.
- change _filter
- Need to actually apply uses to the _params instead of just defining them.
I hate it too! I've started using reusable wraps, like Bee's Wrap (http://www.beeswrap.com/) or Abeego (http://abeego.com/).

Unfortunately rustc uses rust features almost immediately (I think even features introduced in the immediately preceding version?), so you get a bootstrap chain, and if you start with the compiler written in OCaml you now need to build every single rustc version ever released.

This takes very long and is error-prone, so having a compiler that can build even an intermediate version is already a big help.

See e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2018/bootstrapping-rust/
Yes $1k for the gas fees on ethereum. What problems do you mean?
Of course, but AFAIU this massively shortens the chain. Newer versions of rustc up the minimum compiler version required for building all the time.
I happen to know the image you are talking about. Luckily I saved it when I first saw it somewhere.

Where's the substance?

> "It is an extraordinary discovery for the advancement of our knowledge of the ancient world,"

How exactly did this discovery advance our knowledge of the Roman civilization? We know more about the Roman civilization than about any other civilization until modern times. We know about their military organization, weapons, campaigns, wars, victories and defeats, we know about their legal framework, administration, constructions, culture, etc, etc.

What exactly did this chariot teach us? A bunch of archeologists are throwing various superlatives to make us believe their work is important (and maybe convince us that more funding is warranted). Writers have a saying "show, don't tell". These guys should listen.
I was playing with swift a few months ago on my 2016 MacBook Pro and Sourcekit sat on 100% cpu for hundreds of milliseconds whenever I typed a keystroke for some reason. There’s also a bug / horrible design choice in the macos kernel from the last couple of years where if the cpu is pegged, the computer drops keystrokes. These two bugs combined to make my computer lose keystrokes while typing function names - they came out garbled unless I purposefully typed really slowly. I was gobsmacked. It was the worst code editing experience I’ve ever had. Maybe I’m “using the wrong swift features” but it really just feels like its amateur hour at Apple. Did all the senior engineers leave in the last few years? Xcode as a whole has sort of felt like beta software since Xcode 3. Every version they fix one bug, add a headline feature and add 3 new bugs to work around. And everything gets 20% slower. It seems like they keep rushing releases out the door for wwdc then they never fix it properly afterwards.

Swift is a lovely language but the experience is thoroughly and totally ruined by Xcode. Xcode manages to make eclipse feel lightweight and snappy.

Taking your point to the next logical conclusion you would be okay taking a desktop computer with twin monitors instead of s MacBook Air.

True -- but don't forget that prisons exist as a replacement for retribution, which was often less accurate and had a tendency to escalate into open feuding between families, ethnic groups, or religious groups.

If prisons aren't an adequate replacement for personal retribution, but a need for personal retribution still exists, the public will either correct the prisons or revert to their previous practices.

I'm all for certain aspects of prison reform, but we mess with their role as punishment at our peril.

As a side note, I suspect that the United States' use of the death penalty and comparatively poor prison conditions is largely due to its relatively recent history of vigilantism, the increased tendency of its people to distrust the government, and the relative predominance of firearms. The punishment aspect of prisons needs to be more pronounced in the United States than, say, Europe, in order to keep its citizenry content.

I suspect there's also regional variations - in states where distrust of governmental authority is more predominant and vigilantism more recent and frequent, prisons are harsher and the death penalty used more.
Rule #1: Its only about the user.
Rule #2: The meaning of 'use' is, even itself, subject to the whims of the user - i.e. See Rule #1.

Everything else is culture and can thus be discarded.

I think the main point here is that electric cars (being simpler and having few parts) also cater to extremely versatile designs. I wonder how far they could gog away from the classic truck design within allowed regulations (like, a shorter front, different positioning etc). Clearly aesthetics are not a concert here.

Actually there is some middle ground called democratic schools. I believe in most parts of the world their legal status is that of homeschooling. In theory, these schools shoudl optimize for the aspects of schools children like and stimulate interest rather than boring drill. In practice, however, I doubt it works well for everybody.
Why would they be? Kids go insane from the lack of movement and social life, of course now suddenly school is not that bad.

I'm not sure if it's related, but a lot of people used to use Amazon's person to person payments to churn credit card offers. If that was as prevalent as it seemed, then they may have been losing a tidy bundle to it.
Take a look at the top 100 places to live. This is a great place to start your hunt, you can exclude some obvious cities and do some additional research for cities that sound interesting. Anything East of the Mississippi is very easy to travel around in, you can plan a road trip vacation and visit visit all the cities that caught your interest.

I can vouch for #13 and #96 both being great places and pretty affordable, however Im not sure how strong the free lancer scene is. #13 is a little higher on the arts scale, but #96 is Beer City USA... Cant beat that

The nice thing about concise, highly performant, and most importantly, highly documented code is that it gives you the best of all worlds: it lets the computers do what you need as fast as possible, while also letting programmers get their learn on and actually deepen their understanding of the language they work with because the code comes with its own textbook.

You need all three though: take any of those aspects away, and you end with something that's going to get ripped out when the next programmer needs to maintain the codebase either because it's wastefully verbose, needlessly underperformant, or no on can understand what the hell all these "clever tricks" (usually based on an understanding of computer science, rather than software development - the two haven't been the same thing for decades now) do.
I read not long ago that the 747 was designed specifically for this purpose, in case the design failed for passenger use it could be repurposed.
My take away is this: In an ideal world, a benevolent dictatorship would be (overall) better than a democracy.
In that ideal world, the dictator would be the perfect leader: Smart/wise, selfless, open minded...

Of course, we don't live in an ideal world.

Funny example: Heaven (the Christian version) will be an ideal dictatorship (for Christians) :)

did you see the photos of the rioters? Do you really believe they are that tech-savy?
It's as old as any "service" has existed, nevermind internet.

If you go into a store or cafe and start shouting at the top of your lungs, the owner is free to refuse service, kick you out and/or even ban you from ever entering their store again.

What's the difference between that store owner and an ISP?

You're free to go to any other store that will have you, and is ok with your shouting. If it turns out there are no stores ok with it, whose problem is that? Should store owners be prohibited from refusing service to anyone, no matter what their behaviour?

You can start your own store, so long as you can pay rent, have suppliers that will sell you goods, etc - but again, no one is obligated to do any of that.

(I get there's protected classes that prevent discrimination based on things like age, gender, ethnicity, etc, but that's a separate issue, and tangential to their behaviour which is what we're discussing here.)
Why do you think any of your rogue nation club have any interest hacking US politicians, except for, probably, blackmail?

US is an open society, and most US politicians speak what they think, or at least you can guess, or even ask them yourself! Those people are like open books.

Unlike of your usual cabal totalitarians, who either don't speak at all, or purposefully try to hide their real aims by engaging in double speak, triple, quadruple speak.
Okay that I get, but I don't understand recording every text since that's more akin to recording social gatherings and private conversations.
My mistake. I was using "untyped" in the sense it is used in programming language theory, which is the same as the term "dynamically typed" in colloquial programmer speak.

This will probably hit us culturally the way SARS hit east Asia in the early aughts. The good news is that we likely won't be caught completely flat footed against a pandemic again.
It appears that you're conflating the notion of free speech with any speech whatsoever, and implying that if free speech rights weren't enforced, then we would have no speech and thus would have no society and no knowledge. This is demonstrably false according to plenty of historical evidence. It's simply nonsense.

There has been no testing for years, the nature of the device requires constant maintenance, the delivery systems (rockets) require even more maintenance…

I would argue Viv Albertine is more famous for inspiring the Clash song “Train in Vain” after breaking up with Mick Jones more than for her work with the Slits.
It can have that problem if you make that choice. I use reddit extensively, mainly subscribed to a bunch of mostly small subs for my own set of narrow interests, and it works great.
I wrote a python script that use regular expressions to winnow out words based on constraints imposed by previous guesses. There are 3 parts to a regex. The first uses positive look aheads to verify the test word includes each letter that has been marked as correct but in the wrong location. These are followed by negative groups with all wrong letters indicated. Interspersed are correct letters in the correct position. This filters my word list from 5300 words to a handful with each guess. It works pretty well but it still requires guessing. I always run it after I’ve solved the word using just my brain. It gives me a good sense as to how good or bad my logic was.
I guess this is one Reddit outage that can't be blamed on poor scaling

1. You learn how to think rigorously about complex ideas in graduate school. Believe it or not, that is valuable in any career.

2. You are free to work on projects that are ridiculously ambitious in graduate school. Show me a VC willing to fund a (tech-sector) project with a ten-year R&D cycle (actually, if you're out there, contact me!)

3. The academic culture is quite nice for folks of a naturally intellectual persuasion. The business culture is rife with lax ethical practices and hand-wavy belief systems that, for a certain type of person, can be draining to deal with. Academia has some of this, but its not even close to being of comparable magnitude.

OK but why Apple then says "GB" for RAM sizes in its marketing materials rather than these bullshit units? I guess "17.179869184 GB RAM" doesn't have the same ring to it?
It has to exist on a private network behind a firewall with ports open to application servers and other es nodes only. Running things on a public ip address is a choice that should not be taken lightly. Clustering over the public internet is not a thing with Elasticsearch (or similar products).

If you are running mysql or postgres on a public ip address it would be equally stupid and irresponsible regardless of the useless default password that many people never change unless you also set up TLS properly (which would require knowing what you are doing with e.g. certificates). The security in those products is simply not designed for being exposed on a public ip address over a non TLS connection. Pretending otherwise would be a mistake. Having basic authentication in Elasticsearch would be the pointless equivalent. Base64 (i.e. basic authentication over http) encoded plaintext passwords is not a form of security worth bothering with. Which is why they never did this. It would be a false sense of security.

At some point you just have to call out people for being utter morons. The blame is on them, 100%. The only deficiency here is with their poor decision making. Going "meh http, public IP, no password, what could possibly go wrong?! lets just upload the entirety of linkedin to that." That level of incompetence, negligence, and indifference is inexcusable. I bet, MS/Linkedin is considering legal action against individuals and companies involved. IMHO they'd be well within their rights to sue these people into bankruptcy.
Well, let me try to convince you of the futility of trying to convince other people to change their views.... oh wait... :)

Anyways, the last point, handing cash out to people, will essentially not work for the exact same reason: logistics. Who will do the handing out? The same agencies that are supposed to give grains at subsidized rates? How well is that working?

Apples service revenue is rising every year and they've actively pivoting away from making money with devices.

Just wanted to say that you're not alone. I'm used to the ISO layout, but that's a minor difference.

I'm really glad they did the ThinkPad 25, and I really don't know what I'm going to do when that thing becomes too old to be usable. :-(
Nope, you are therefore incentivized to spend that money in objects or services that will bring in more value to you than the risk-free "interest" or gains brought by the mere deflation. Ergo, smarter investments.
Interesting. Do you think it would still be effective to purity the room air when done on a desktop computer with a single 120mm intake fan (and a 140 exhaust though I assume there wouldn't be a filter on that)?
Hi not sure if I am just completely off here but I am wondering how this relates or compares to processing things with Kafka and Kafka Streams?

If I am reading things correctly with Kafka the workflow equivalent to what's written in the article would be to have your producer produce via hash-based-round-robin (the default partitioning algorithm) based on the key you are interested in into some topic and then your consumer would just read it and your data would already be sorted for the given keys (because within a partition Kafka has sorting guarantees) and also be co-partitioned correctly if you need to read some other topic in with the same number of partitions and the same logical keys produced via the same algorithm. No?
I know HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python. I have worked with Django but i find that it often gets to complex, feature rich and abstract for very simple products.

I will definetly look into Ruby on Rails, i get the impression that it's a pretty lightweight but capable framework compared to others

Thanks:)
Apple also makes significant money from services and app store. They might not have an incentive to violate your privacy but they absolutely have all the incentives to lock you into their walled garden as much as you'll take it, and then some. They will happily do it under the guise of protecting user privacy too.

So no, they shouldn't get a pass on everything they do in the name of privacy just because they aren't an ad company. Although in this case the proxy server is reasonable I think.
You lasted longer than I did. It only took me a few paragraphs to realize Monbiot has never actually talked to a farmer.

The whole trick is in avoiding the collisions in the first place which birds manage with considerable grace, even when there are a lot of them. I live in the middle of a bird sanctuary and there are on a good day a few million of them nearby and to see them take off in enormous flocks without any mishap or central control is extremely impressive.

The obvious fact is that we engineer our aircraft (especially choppers) in a way that is totally contrary to the principles of flight (which penalizes weight and power-to-weight even more) but it's a direct function of the fact that we'd like to be on board as well and we're a lot heavier than the heaviest birds. All that machinery is our technological workaround for not having wings and it comes at a significant price: that as soon as anything at all goes wrong we are painfully reminded that the sky is not our natural element. So there are very few ways that we manage to recover from any mid-air collision and the speed for fixed wing aircraft and the potential energy of rotary craft pretty much guarantees destruction and death or at a minimum serious injury of all occupants in case of accidents.

There may be some way in which we could re-visit flying designed from the ground up with recovery from collision and failure of (sub)systems in mind. I wonder what form it would take.
Completely agree about the prejudice against the well established. I am not affiliated with the Delphi project, but work in this space. Not having knowledge of the effectiveness of the Delphi autonomous system, can't speak to that. But, with regards to their mechanical design, this team has demonstrated autonomous capability with a familiar and covert form factor: obscured GPS antennas, LIDAR and cameras. And computing. Not visible in either the rear seat or trunk [1, 2].

Also important to mention that this product is a partnership between Delphi and Ottomatika [3]. Ottomatika is the company that won the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge from CMU and provides the SLAM and software expertise.

Admittedly, the Google's of the world help with the lobbying and regulatory efforts which eventually expedite the technology transfer to the market for the Delphi's and smaller startups in this space [4].

This is massively appealing to me if it can be made to accommodate a little bit of color and visual design. Sankeymatic is a similar tool that seems to have gotten this right.

As a visual learner who loves to diagram things, I've spent what seems like years of my life being disappointed by visio, draw.io, powerpoint, and the like. Honestly, for a straightforward, clean diagram, my favorite is still Google Draw, mostly because it handles connectors incredibly well.
I've read their documentation many times, and never found any of it clear. Quite the contrary, I've found the docs very hard to navigate and learn from. Maybe this is just me though? They always seem to have a lot of documentation, but all of which just assumes you understand what other terms mean, or how complicated things behave without actually pointing you to where you could learn such things.
