Not even that. Different types of games require different types of RNGs (e.g. in an RPG or strategy game you probably want a stable seeded RNG to preclude RNG save-scumming), the C standard requires almost no guarantee of rand().

Free Pascal in my limited experience has been ironically better than the commercial Delphi.

FPC has the ability to read arrow keys from a CLI, Delphi required some awful lump of Win32 code. Oh and FPC actually generated numbers random enough to make a simple game of Tic Tac To work :')

(Delphi did not, making the game unplayable without adding my own version of a random number generator)

Some soy is fine, but if we're talking as completely replacing your meat, it could be too much estrogen like compounds. Hence breasts in men and an increased risk of breast cancer in women. I haven't seen enough studies to definitively rule these out.

Besides, variety is always good. It's never wise to put all your eggs in a single basket.
I know several people who have attempted to live in cities nearby. In the end, they all moved to the burbs when (a) they realized they needed good schools for their kids or (b) they were mugged.

Mass transit requires density. Density of housing and density of employment.

Density requires a level of competence in governance that many US cities appear to lack.
Thanks everyone, I am not living in the US so I am not really up to date with local real estate realities.

NetBSD's pkglint tool reimplemented in Go
I have read of many alternatives, though RPi has one feature, nothing can beat it today - community support.

99% problems you'll see on your RPi, you can find a solution to them in 5 minutes with Google.

Maybe it will sound like nitpicking and also RPi has versatility and extensibility for rapid development. Want add camera? No problem. Connect to screen? No problem. Few USB devices? No problem. GPIO control? No problem.

Probably it's just a rant with possibly very long discussion, but if you do not know what crazy or fun thing you going to do tomorrow, RPi probably got your covered, whereas others - not so much. So if RPi (let's say the 'normal' one, not the Zero) had builtin WiFi and BT, personally I would be covered in any way I need and would not need any dongles at all.
> * via Raspbmc, which I just found out has apparently ceased to exist...

Try OSMC [1], it's a massive improvement over Raspbmc and is being developed actively. Works like a charm.
If I'm correct, the main Raspbmc dev went over to OSMC a while back.

Exactly. In Argentina it's a "Subte", in Japan it's "Chikatetsu".

However, Metro seems to be the most popular name (it's used in Madrid and Sao Paulo too).
One reason people might not follow this method for inference is that it depends heavily on the experimenter's personal beliefs about the world. The "improvements" here only lead to more accurate inference if the author's assumptions about the world are true. In business applications you often just want to get to a conclusion and make a decision, so this method makes sense. In scientific publication you want to verify results with a larger community with minimal assumptions. When you calculate a p-value and print it in publication, you might not be giving much information, but at least that information is objective and invariant to readers' personal beliefs. Making inference based on p-values you can at least say "In the long run I will incorrectly reject the null hypothesis 5% of the time with this method", while there is no such similar statement for a method that depends on the experimenter's personal beliefs.

In addition, the probability being calculated here is a little misleading in that it doesn't fit with the traditional definition of "probability of X". Despite the same s notation, P(H|D) is not the same type of probability as P(D|H). The coin is either biased or not, so there isn't actually any random process there and the statement "the probability this coin is fair is 50%" makes little sense under the traditional definition.

Plenty of people don't like tofu - I hate it, personally - yet love meat.

Admitedly, I didn't exactly enjoy the few insects I've tried eating, either.. but what's wrong with having more options for cheap and sustainable protein?
We're working on a Stripe integration (see https://github.com/timekit-io/booking-js/issues/20), but you could actually add it yourself with the callbacks. Check out the docs on Github or ping me on Intercom on the page if you need some guidance
I guess you run at least three execution paths and then choose the majority result.
Chicken, pork, salmon and tuna are definitely cheap sources of protein (depending on the country, but generally at least one of them is cheap).
It smells like the web app still has that new car smell. I'd guess that the web app will go through the same process of enrichment. The web app will get the special cases and direct feature requests and will eventually arrive at a similar state as the old application for similar reasons, just in a different implementation.
The ESP8266 is quite slow, network wise. You could hook up the sensors to the Pi Zero directly using the GPIO ports and use a cheap USB WiFi adapter to upload the data.
Does the New York Subway have a logo? I know the MTA does (it's kinda cool) but most New York subway street signs just have little roundels indicating the various lines through the station.

Other macbook have broken cable, but it still work, not sure, how long. I started to apply pen springs to the cables, it seems to help a little bit.

I'm sure that it's intentional design, so Apple can sell more of their ridiculously priced accessories. Integrated chips in their accessories, making them harder to replicate, seems to approve that hypothesis.

Yes, thanks, but for now raspbmc works really well, I'm not sure I want to go through the whole update now unless there's a big compelling reason.

I might upgrade to a 2B though, it's probably a lot faster (the current setup tends to freeze a little on rapidly changing frames).
but proper design of the roadways coupled with self driving cars which don't do stupid things humans do (not let people in, merge well below speed, drive 10mph under the limit just because) should help.

If they were commercially available as door-to-door vehicles without a human driver needed across broad areas of the US, I think it's fair to say that people would swarm to buy them. And I suspect enough of the secret sauce will be in software that I doubt if cost will be the main stumbling block even if techs appear first in luxury vehicles (as is the case with assistive driving features).

The bigger question is what realistic timeframe we're looking at. I know smart people who go on about exponential progress and all that think we're talking 10 years. I've also listened to researchers in this area who think it's 50+ years and IMO they're probably closer. The challenge is that accurately mapped streets only get you so far and there are a lot of real world situations a car would need to be able to handle that are well beyond the current level of tech.
Good idea. It would be useful to integrate it with the routing definitions of popular frameworks. Example: generate the definition file from Rails' routes.rb

They're probably thermionic tubes, a.k.a. valves. You want them accessible so you can replace them, but they're also fragile so you put cases over them so you don't bump them.
"1. Providing a low cost computer has given many people access to computers. Giving more people access to the web, email, an office suit, a programming environment AND giving people the ability of safely tinker without the fear of bricking an expensive device."

I seriously doubt about your first point. Adding the cost of accessories (mouse, keyboard, screen) and a shipping cost, Raspberry Pi costs the same as a decent, used laptop that can be used to install a full Linux distro. Even getting Raspberry Pi Zero with essential kit (cabels + the smallest SD card) to my country rises its costs to 20£, add the cost of accessories, and you can get another working used laptop (and as a bonus Ethernet/WiFi connection which RPi Zero lacks).
Don't get me wrong, Raspberry Pi is great for tinkering and home projects, I have much respect for what they are doing, but getting "computer to every home" is not it's strongest point.

Well, we have bold and italics to emphasize important parts of a phrase (and underline, which is often used in handwriting for that purpose).

Since we don't work with different colors when reading/writing, we also use things such as punctuation, e.g. ? to denote that a statement is a question, ! that it intends to show wonder, etc.
Only Apple can continue charging $80 for a charger that's so defective. Yo can buy a smartphone for the same price that lasts longer.
Sometimes long complex English sentences can be very confusing to me, especially in finding the verb in there. When two or three consecutive words have different grammatical meaning, and can be used in different grammatical meanings, it can become very confusing if English is not your mother tongue. In that case, color coding (or bold / italic / underscore) could help a lot. But for a word processor to do that, it has to understand grammar...

I don't hate cars. I want people to understand how much we subsidize them. I want to bust the myth that they are the only way in the US and I want that to lead to subsidizing alternatives.

In the USA the car is the solution to every city building problem. This is the problem as I see it.
> The product doesn't need updating and they have no competition so why lower the prices?

They absolutely do have competition, see for example the HP Prime, which is far superior (IMHO) to any calculator TI puts out.

The issue is that TI has a very effective market lock-in, so they don't have any incentive to innovate. They know students in the US will still buy their calculators because they won't be allowed to take the test if they don't
If you added exits without adding entrances, maybe. But that's not going to be popular.
Yup, that would be the only sensible use of a down-vote, rejecting an entire story.
There's just one thing I don't get... Too much carbohydrates are supposed to be bad. Too much soy is supposed to be bad. But the Japanese live the longest, so obviously they can't be that bad. So one of these assumptions must be false:

- Japanese eat a lot of rice and/or soy (or products made from them)
- Japanese have different genetics that allows them to avoid the negative effects of carbs/soy.

We could probably throw fish (mercury) in the mix as well.
That and cooking is often a messy business. You don't want to be handling your phone when your hands are a mess because you are in the middle of preparing another dish.
I don't think this is a case of shoehorning anything. It is true that in Haskell you use currying more often, while in Python you usually supply a tuple with all the arguments at once.

However there are also cases in Python where you get currying, like decorators. And for complicated types like:

# greeting :: (str -> (str, str), int -> List[str]) -> Dict[str, int -> int]

being able to separate the signature from the declaration certainly makes reading it easier.

This one has micro-USB ports, which mean the usual slim USB wifi interfaces will need a cable. Are there micro-USB wifi interfaces? (Is it even possible to make a similar form-factor interface that fits mostly inside a micro-USB plug?)
Self driving cars will create a virtuous cycle, ageing drivers who lose their licenses will be forced to buy them to stay mobile, this availability will decrease police/insurance/legislative tolerance of poor driving which will increase the number of drivers required to buy them. The boomers are going to make this happen.

People won't "buy" self driving cars, they will briefly borrow them from ZipCar, Uber or Ford.

The younger generation as a whole is much less interested in learning to drive or purchase a car. They will also be pushing to make this happen.

Well that's the whole point of the exercise. To show how even creating a simple thing like a pencil requires vast amounts of knowledge and expertise that cannot be acquired by a single individual.

The way I like to frame this is by telling people to imagine they are strapped on an island with no clothes or tools. Let's assume there is fresh water and access to food (some fruits here and there and a decent amount of animals to hunt). Even if you have good knowledge about how our current world and economy works it would still be really challenging to create/build anything that has even a small degree of complexity.

Let's say you believe using some metal would help you build some useful tools and you want to start mining for metal. How would you to it with your bare hands? You need tools for that, but what tools can you build with your bare hands? Even cutting down a tree to make something out of it would be really challenging. What would you use, a rock? Imagine cutting a tree using a rock. With no tools it's almost impossible to do anything.

But this is the story of humanity, we started naked and without tools, and also with no knowledge about the world, we didn't know that we can make fire, nor how we could use it, we didn't know what to eat and what not to eat. We didn't know why we get sick or what a diseases is. We didn't know where we come from nor where we are heading and yet somehow, afters many years we now build rockets that go to space, algorithms that know what we want before we do, surgeries that make the blind see, devices that make the deaf hear and so much more.
These humans are truly amazing.

None of these problems are inherent to mass transit; it's possible to have a transit system without them. Trains (or trams/buses on well-planned dedicated lanes with traffic light integration) can keep to schedule, systems can be provisioned with enough seats, rails or driving policy can minimize jerk, a shared luggage area can offer more space than a car boot (not everyone will be using it at once), identification systems can work.
Same with Arduino. You can use dozens of off-the-shelf shields and libraries to make it do exactly what you need without having to understand every little detail (however, if you want you can change every little bit or resistor!).
Instead you can focus on solving the problem at hand, mostly writing high level glue code.
