Yes this is (in my opinion) the best simple and comprehensive program for a beginner.

For the tech-minded reading here, this is doubly so, as the app is really top notch, you can basically install it on your phone and just do exactly what it tells you to do and be in better shape quickly if you have the discipline to stick to it.
Because they're usually based on mobile phone or similar SoCs. However, at least 4 companies are promising to deliver Server-class chips this year - Cavium, Avago (ex Broadcom), Qualcomm, and AMD.

(Edited to add) Incidentally, most of the above are designed to have more than 8 cores. Cavium's ThunderX has 48, for example. Both Cavium and Broadcom previously delivered many-core MIPs designes, so this isn't vaporware either.
Not only back pains - I was very surprised when what I thought was RSI in my wrists was actually because of posture - somehow some nerves were getting pinched. I discovered this when I was doing some weird neck / shoulder stretches and the pain very suddenly receded. Then I started fixing my monitor to be higher and taking care of my posture, and I've had minimal issues since then. I'm guessing I had some early form of something like Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Why Billion-Dollar Valuations Don’t Matter
Simple: were they charging people to unpublish the information from being accessed on the website, OR were they promising to delete the data and go back and remove extant copies of the data from past backups?

Chances are you paid the fee and they marked your info as 'deleted' in the database, effectively unpublishing the information. That would explain how the 'deleted' data could still be leaked.

> A deeper problem is that math is almost always taught as a list of rules in the first place, frequently by teachers who do not themselves understand the underlying concepts. Teachers who only remember the procedures can of course only teach procedures

Sigh, your statement reminds me of one time when I was in 6th grade geometry and was asked to complete this one proof. The problem was intended to get us to apply a concept we had been taught verbatim, but I couldn't remember it well and so I completed the proof a different way by extrapolating other basic concepts we had gone over into a method we had not been taught. I remember feeling very proud of myself when I finished, as I had created something which in my 12 year old eyes was a "novel proof". I ended up being given 0 points on the problem because I did not complete my proof using cookie cutter methods we had been taught (even though my proof was correct and it was not specified that I use a particular concept in the instructions).

I remember complaining to my teacher about how this was unfair and she kept saying something akin to "well you didn't do the problem the right way". The incident pretty much killed any interest I had in math, which wasn't rekindled until I stumbled upon machine learning recently in my 20s.
There's security, basically there's two vectors a Hetzner compromise can be used against us, either they reboot a machine and get our data through rescue mode, or they gain physical access. VPS'es can be hacked fully digitally and transparently (i.e. if you have access to the hypervisor you're in).

There's performance concerns as well, but those don't really apply for ARM as obviously you can do better.

Agreed regarding the default tab completion. You might check out PSReadLine at some point - see https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine. Its goal is to try to emulate readline except in PowerShell (this includes tab completion as well as emacs shortcut keys... vim shortcut keys are in the works AFAIK). It does require some additional configuration and it isn't installed by default, but I think it helps with this specific scenario quite a bit.

That's not the "source" that's just a value of the time dimension.

well, you could have given that information in the text - if you talk about data, you gotta talk about where you got the data from.

Nonetheless the statement is still pretty obscure. Who is that "partner" - is it a secret?

Why don't you just dump the data on GitHub?

I'm not sure if that is the true reason why you chose not to do it - but if so, then it is necessary to be transparent with assumptions, abstractions and simplifications, right?
Of course they are. In the United States you also can't import cheap generic from Canada. Most intellectual property law is recognized and enforced internationally. Everyone on this board has a career because of IP law.

We have a globally broken system in that America subsidizes the world medicinally. American companies research and develop many (not all) drugs. Americans then pay out their asshole for those drugs. Other countries then get to make those drugs for "free". Not free free. But they get to ignore the R&D costs.

Eventually the camel's back will break. Research costs will become too high for 300m out of 7b to pay for. Then we can figure out a new system that works better. This is probably a good thing. I don't know what the system looks like though. No one does.

It wasn't impossible with HTML back then. Both Microsoft and Netscape had (incompatible) DHTML implementations you could use to do this stuff. Heck, Windows 98's desktop linked to a showcase of this stuff. It was amazing.

No Flash required.

Now, this isn't to say Flash wasn't useful for doing these things more easily, but it never was the only way to do these things, just the most convenient.
They definitely are real, but I'm not sure that the case is so clear-cut against generics. Would you rather save the lives of 100,000 people and cause 2,000 of them meningitis, or have 100,000 people die because they can't get cheap medication?
This rings so true for me. My 4th grade teacher took two weeks of "teaching" fractions. Afterwards, she breathed a sigh of relief and said we can now go back to decimals. I avoided "getting" fractions until I was in 2nd semester calculus in high school. I would change all fractions to decimals, solve the problems, and convert the decimals to fractions (since the teacher wanted answers in fractions). Crazy, right? When the lightbulb finally went on, suddenly everything got a lot easier just working with fractions. I took this so much to heart that my daughter was taught exclusively with fractions at first, and only later moved on to decimals. Believe it or not, she actually had trouble grasping decimals at first due to her fraction exposure.
With conventional Linux distributions it is tricky to do this in a clean and idempotent way while preserving the entirety of the existing server configuration. The best solution of which I am aware is Augeas, which supports multiple file formats, and tools of similar type that specialize in a single file format (e.g., jq).

What these generally do is parse the entire configuration file into an abstract syntax tree, apply the modifications you have asked for to the tree, then serialize the result back into the configuration file format. This ensures that the input and the output are both at least syntactically valid; as a result it is less error-prone than sed/awk. Unlike with configuration file templates (e.g., Ansible's Jinja2 templates) the changes can be applied on top of the distribution's default configuration if desirable and reapplied when that default configuration is updated.

You may think that, but unless the effect actually travels down the chain of command, nothing will change.

Right now, it's probably beneficial or at least harmless for an LEO to seize a laptop without a justification that holds up in court. The same goes for their superior allowing or outright instructing them to do so. And so forth all the way up the chain.

There is no direct impact on the LEO who does it from the court decision that it was unjustified. Unless they or their superiors (or someone higher up the chain) are personally held accountable, why should anything change?

It's not a problem with individuals. It's a systemic problem and it needs a systemic solution. There have to be disincentives for someone at some level. Damages paid by the state don't cut it (unless those damages add up to a number high enough for someone to get annoyed by them).
If this interests you may I suggest Pade approximation as another good tool to have in your tool chest.
> I want double-tab to print a listing of said options so that I can see them all at once. Is this possible?

In PowerShell 5 (at least in Windows 10), Ctrl-Space yields a list of matching completions. You can then use the arrow keys (ip, down, left, right) to pick one and hit enter or space to select.

It works for commands as well as for options/parameters and parameter values.

I.e. you can type get-pr[ctrl-space] and powershell responds with:

Get-PrintConfiguration Get-PrinterDriver Get-PrinterProperty Get-Process
Get-Printer Get-PrinterPort Get-PrintJob Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage

Choose Get-Process (right,right,right,space). Now the cmdline shows

Get-Process _

Hit [-][ctrl-space]. Powershell now shows:

PS C:\Users\zaphod> Get-Process -Name
Name IncludeUserName FileVersionInfo ErrorAction ErrorVariable OutVariable
Id ComputerName Verbose WarningAction WarningVariable OutBuffer
InputObject Module Debug InformationAction InformationVariable PipelineVariable

Pick "Name" and hit space:

PS C:\Users\zaphod> Get-Process -Name _

Now hit [ctrl-space] again. PowerShell now completes on running processes on the system, offering the list of all of the process names.

All of these can be done with HTML and JS, and (bar maybe clipboard) have worked for years:

> 1. One file distribution.

> AFAICT HTML5 has no real ability to do this

We've had this since the 90s, in the form of MIME HTML (.mhtml) files. We also have data: URIs, another approach, which has better browser support.

Nobody ever bothers with this stuff, but it is there and very easy to do. You can literally just open an HTML file in IE, press Ctrl+S and save an MHTML one with all the assets bundled into one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme

> 2. Easy streaming

This can actually be done in HTML as well, if you execute your JS when the DOM's ready, rather than when the page has loaded. jQuery users have done a very weak form of this for years. Again, though, nobody seems to bother.

> 3. Not running when not visible

> HTML5 has no way to stop an animation when offscreen.

HTML5's had the ability to detect if the window is visible or active for a long time now, but nobody uses it.

> 4. Can copy to clipboard

Internet Explorer had this years ago, and you can do this with HTML5 too, it's now standard. Strangely, nobody uses it.

CO2 has a bond strength of 800 kJ/mol it's a very expensive molecule to break up using electrolysis (double the required energy of to break water).

Most of the other carbon siphoning methods such as making plastic polymers use a chemical method to combine the CO2 into complex carbohydrates and even they aren't any where close to being environmentally viable.

On top of this you need to scale this process up and start filtering air to gather CO2 which is insanely expensive on it's own, for this process to have a neutral carbon footprint on it's own all of the energy has to come from non-carbon sources.

Besides that this process needs to stand up to being competitive against other processes and most importantly it self while being fed carbon or CO2 from none-natural sources, which i have high doubts it can achieve that.

And lastly say you have managed to scale this process up made it commercially viable and environmentally sound (gl on both of those) how much carbon you going to suck in? 1000 tonnes a year? 10,000 tonnes? that's nothing a car emits on average 6-7 tonnes per year this means that a small city(10-15K residents) say 5000 cars would emit 30000 tonnes of CO2 per year do you really think this process or anything like it will have an impact on the environment on any plausible scale?

Given the words "unique circumstances of this case," it is unlikely that this decision was intended to set precedent for anything.

It would appear that the court reiterates that searches and seizures at the border needed to be supported by reasonable suspicion, and the examination needed to be limited in scope and duration.
