All your listed countries have higher working hours than Germany. In fact, the working hours in Greece are 50% higher than in Germany.

Annual working hours are highly correlated with unemployment rate. Note I'm not saying that a causes b, but the correlation is obvious.

On the other hand, there is no empirical evidence of workers' rights protection causing unemployment. That narrative often gets repeated, but that doesn't make it true.

The city's roads, parks, public utilities, and the library's existing internet connection all probably have connections to drugs and porn -- why is this different? I guess they think those things are generally more "appropriately used" than tor?

The Spanish new High Speed train infrastructure is, except for the line that connects Madrid and Barcelona, a massive nonsense that has been build only for political reasons. Spain has more km of high speed lines that Japan, but some of the lines have only tens of passengers per day!

It is an economical calamity, for a country already in a deep crisis, that the taxpayers will have to pay during decades.

The AVE is an example of how infrastructures should never be planned and deployed.
I have to admit that I'm still not quite sure about arrays in relational databases. Don't get me wrong, I use them all the time, but it kinda feels like when you've got tables that you just know could be normalized more thoroughly.

Also: If someone has a good version-control wrapper for stored procedures, that would be swell. And while I'm doing the wishful thinking shtick, maybe a Coffeescript-like preprocessor and a good linter?

But there's a big difference between a fun/social "night out" setting and a professional setting. It's still, even in the 21st century, far too often harder for a woman to get taken seriously in a professional setting than for men. It's better than it used to be, but it's still better to err on the side of addressing them a bit too professional than a bit too casual.

I'm know nothing about the subject, and maybe the current way is perfect in its speed, but "I honestly can't come up with another way of getting that done if it's necessary to do" - using drugs to knock them out before killing them is surely an obvious idea, even if it might not (I've no idea) be practical for other reasons

I used it. It's not as fast an approach as it sounds; you want to do hitbox collision first. But if there's a better way to really do pixel-perfect collision, I couldn't figure it out - maybe subdividing hitboxes would have been, but how does that work when the sprites change? I always thought of plain old hitboxes as being unnecessarily cruel - the player can't see them - but if you were on the NES, you probably wouldn't have CPU time for much of anything better.

Fortunately, I was on something less basic. Unfortunately, I was working on a bitplane mode (for my sins); the CPU didn't have a barrel shifter (so, for speed, one needed to store pre-shifted copies of sprites and masks); and, because the assembly instruction of course wants to modify the output, I ended up copying the dest mask and doing the source as self-modifying code with chains of unrolled andi.l #<character mask>,-(a0) / bne.w pairs; if the chain falls through, the player's just scraped by a mob.

This was of course back in the day that one didn't have to worry about pipeline or cache invalidation, because one simply didn't have the luxury of such things. The naïve loop/temp register implementation would be faster now (and, thanks to µcode and register renaming, would be what the CPU really does inside anyway).

Incidentally, you want to really look out for your animation code in games like this, because it impacts directly on game logic. Anything that might reset the animation counters will have side effects. I'm not sure if it was intended that Tiki - despite being a flightless kiwi - from Taito's The NewZealand Story actually can fly with repeated pushes of up mid-jump, for example (although the presence of secret level design elements catering for it suggests it may be, and could actually be a huge easter egg considering it wasn't documented!).

Similarly, Turrican II has a trick involving what happens if you fire and let off a smart bomb (space) at the same time while jumping, and then jump again - and I don't know if that's intended, but there's at least a couple of platforms with some nice goodies I don't think you can get to any other way.

He wrote a lot about virtual reality (fantomatyka) in 1964 already. He played with the idea that after you enter it once, you never know if you escaped it or just moved to a different one.

In 1955 "Magellan cloud" he predicted a global computer network available in each home, connected to people TVs, and available on small mobile devices that were basicaly ereaders/tablets, from which everybody can access database of the whole knowledge, and ask questions. In that future books were obsolete.

All-male squads, teams and crews and gender-integrated squads, teams, and crews had a noticeable difference in their performance of the basic combat tasks of negotiating obstacles and evacuating casualties. For example, when negotiating the wall obstacle, male Marines threw their packs to the top of the wall, whereas female Marines required regular assistance in getting their packs to the top. During casualty evacuation assessments, there were notable differences in execution times between all-male and gender-integrated groups, except in the case where teams conducted a casualty evacuation as a one-Marine fireman’s carry of another (in which case it was most often a male Marine who “evacuated” the casualty)

I still use RSS for about 250 blogs/sites (tracked by Feedly). That's no near to what it was in times of Google Reader. Some sites stopped providing RSS. For some there was just too much content and it was a pain to filter out everything. I have settled down on those two approaches:

1) If blog/site generates content rare and provides RSS, I use Feedly to track it.

2) If blog/sites generates a lot of content I expect that someone in my Twitter feed will post link to really good article.

So yeah - RSS is still valuable.

That's definitely a flaw in the study. On the other hand, I doubt using equally experienced males would change the conclusions significantly: majority of the tasks seem to have involved major physical effort, and you don't need a study to know that on average, males will perform better in physically demanding excercies.
Mark my words, some of the over the top diversity training is foreign intelligence, this is not a conspiracy theory. I grew up in an immigrant community but never ever met people who were as enthuasiatic as "diversity" or ultra integrationalist past the point of function as I hear about. One day I think we will find out that people were manipulating us at the points we were the most sensitive, that is our relationships to each other as human beings.

I hate the infantilism of modern "tech". We're adults who play in ball pits, have a ping pong table, office Nerf wars, and have our metaphors in Lego format, pre-chewed for easy digestion!

Thought the same, but the reason given ( requiring assistance for climbing a wall, or aiming abilities) seem to point more at pure physical abilities rather than tactical experience.

Which is not really surprising. You wouldn't expect a female pro athlete to win against a male pro one, and the warfield is very physicaly demanding.

I remember watching a documentary on TV some time about 20 years ago, about a tribe in the Siberian wilderness still living their traditional life and who had a knot that they used to tie up their animals with. They could tie it and untie it with heavy fur mittens on as it was $ridiculous cold there in the winter, and it did not jam or slip.

Unfortunately, the documentary was about the social constructs of the tribe and how they interacted with the communist era government (who supported them, to the extent that they provided helicopters at vast expense to bring the furs they produced out of the remote wilderness) and not about the knot itself though I remember playing the section back and forth a few times trying to work it out. Never found it in the book either.

That's not true. France has a lower population density and is more centralized to fewer cities. This is an advantage for their high speed train network because they have fewer stops.
It's a rule of headlines, similar to Betteridge's, but more specific: If a UK newspaper headline claims that the EU has done something crazy, reading the story will reveal that they haven't.

Decades of clickbait headlines may catch up on us soon as people get to vote on whether to leave the EU and they'll be basing their choice partly on headlines roughly of the form "EU rules say Queen to be replaced by an unelected German".

The information is intended to allow the occupants to escape safely if required. In the case of a CO alarm no one should enter the premises until qualified engineers have made it safe.

What you are suggesting would mean adding a general purpose computer to essential safety equipment. Anything that adds complications and could affect the main function of the safety equipment would need to be considered very carefully.

Turbo Pascal was the first language I was taught in school, although I had already taught myself BASIC on a BBC B Microcomputer as a child.

I loved Pascal and wrote a race management program for my local sailing club when I was 16. Fond memories. The whole experience was a voyage of discovery, as I had to write my own "windows" style UI using ASCII codes.

I used Delphi later on in university along with Modular2, and C++. I never felt the same passion for these languages as I had had for Turbo Pascal.

I later moved on to VB and VBscript, and didn't like them at all but they paid the bills.

The next time I felt that same type of passion was for C#. Somehow it just clicked. I think it is about what you can achieve productively with the language, as well as the language itself.

He explores social consequences of such security layer.

I work with environmental data, part of which includes global measurement of wind speed at the water surface. Now, I'm certainly not an expert on how the sensors work exactly, but as far as I have read, satellites bounce microwaves off the surface of the water, where the wind creates ripples - not the big waves, but the small ones, often less than a centimeter in height. The scatterometer then analyzes the height differences of the ripples (differences are in millimeters or less) and runs a model to figure out how fast and from which direction the wind is blowing.

Based on this I would not be surprised if something similar as described in the grandparent post is possible with the latest and greatest in spy satellites. I'm guessing it would only be used with extremely high-value targets though. There is some interesting information available via the NRO if you dig around a bit.
It is super strange and as a huge amount of undesirable consequences.

If you compile a "hello world" type C program you should get the same binary when you compile it again provided your toolchain (C library, C compiler, linker etc) are all the same.

However certain C macros like __DATE__ make the binary change (in this case based on the time of compile). Additionally sometimes environment variables like your working directory and your username get into the binary.

Why is this bad?

If the build server for Debian gets hacked or if a developer's machine gets hacked (for some projects), the hackers can modify the binaries. If the program is not reproducible then there is no way to tell that something has gone amiss. If the program can be built reproducibly, someone else can build the code, produce the same binary, and validate it.

This is more scarier in the case of a "Ken Thompson" style hack, where the C compiler binary is modified so that it compiles normally but inserts backdoors in certain libraries, and also inserts its modifications whenever it is building another C compiler.

If the "Ken Thompson" style hack is ever pulled off on a linux distro, there would be no real way to tell without analysing the binaries.

Provided your initial C compiler is good. Having a chain of reproducible builds where each build produces the same binary would prevent against this. Currently we are just producing random binaries and relying on trust which is horrible.
To be clear, the images are already in the public domain; that is, they are not restricted by copyright. The British Library has, however, made accessible these public domain images via a web interface.

> Annual working hours are highly correlated with unemployment rate. Note I'm not saying that a causes b, but the correlation is obvious.

Interesting... but like you said, it's just a correlation. Could as much be that people are less likely to work many hours when there's full employment, or when a country is richer.

> On the other hand, there is no empirical evidence of workers' rights protection causing unemployment. That narrative often gets repeated, but that doesn't make it true.

As a business owner, every additional regulation regarding employees is increasing my cost. (And it doesn't matter if I would have agreed anyway with what the law says; I still have to waste time learning it, more paperwork, less flexibility.) So I know that the more regulation there is in this field, the less I'm inclined to hire. It's not a narrative, that's my reality.
