Google Music Play is not good if you a) can't afford $8/month, b) never have a network connection at all or c) don't have a device with 1GB-2GB of storage space available for your music.

I'm guessing not using Google Play music for you is more than just a technical thing.

Falcon 9 is designed to withstand losing one engine and still make it to orbit.

Reusability makes it more interesting. There's a lot of extra fuel on board now which could be used to make up for lost engines if you're willing to throw away the first stage.

Cyber Dildonics asked me to back up the $50K figure, and I realized I could not. The current state university tuition rates, from several sources, range from $8K to $14K.

The biggest problem with modern formal education is that all of the incentives are screwed up. There's a race toward optimizing certain "metrics" and making progress on paper to the detriment of actual learning. Sometimes I wonder whether the educational system actually helps more than it hurts. So much of "education" is not about learning, and in fact turns students away from learning. It's amazing that the system works at all really.

Yap same here. See, I grew up in Europe, in a fairly dense city, with public transportation, right in the middle of the city, shops, bars, etc etc. So city life doesn't really have that romanic appeal like it does for many young people who grew up in American suburbs and now want to break out and feel the "energy" of the city.

Living in city for me, also means, more trafic, more people in your face, stepping on your toes. Apartments are fine, except when the neighbor above floods you, or has a party. When people piss in the elevator. When there is crime. When public transportation is packed and you are carrying home some stuff your bought and have a hard time getting onto a bus in rush hour.

So am quite happy in the suburbs. I understand it is the uncool choice here, but I like my flower garden, my grass. I like my neighbors but if they have a party, unless they light fireworks it won't bother me. I have to drive places but roads are well maintained and I don't got out in rush hour.

Also a big city (Washington, DC) is nearby and I can go there and experince all the energy, night life and other such things. But when it is over, I want to go back to my flowers and the green lawn.

This video ain't bad, but it skims over the two most important points and skips one completely:

- SpaceX rocket goes really fast horizontally; it has to flip around and boost back, and then correct from horizontal to vertical orientation.

- Falcon 9 is an actual space launch system; it has different (i.e. much stricter) engineering constraints than a suborbital rocket. In particular, this affects the engine design.

- Most importantly, the first stage of Falcon 9 does what's known as "suicide burn" - it waits until the last possible second to fire back the engine, so that it reaches exactly zero velocity relative to the ground as it touches down. It does so, because it can't hover - even the single one one of the nine Merlin engines, throttled down to minimum, still generates more thrust than the now almost empty booster weights. On the other hand, Blue Origin's rocket can slow down to a hover, and then take its time to stabilize and land.

Actually, that prize goes back as far as DC-X (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-X), if not farther. Grasshopper and F9R-dev were evolutionary, in that they were larger than what had been done before, not revolutionary.

Landing the F9 stage is not even the first "reusable part of an orbital launch system", the Space Shuttle was that. It just wasn't very effective in terms of lowering the cost, which is where F9's true claim of being a game changer is going to be. Let's hope that pans out.

Logical, but assuming Int is reserved, I can't see why type-first would give the parser or developer any problems:

This is a wonderful contribution from a group that has been working in this field for a long time, and is further evidence that cheap and prevalent DNA sequencing will likely make its greatest near term impact in how we manage infectious diseases, not inheritable human diseases.

Why? Three quick reasons: (1) Sequencing bacteria is really cheap since their genomes are 1000x smaller than a human's. Viruses are even smaller. (2) Bacterial genetics is much simpler than human genetics, and we have reliable, well-developed tools for testing hypotheses in vivo (i.e. you can grow many generations of transformed bacteria in a Petri dish while exquisitely controlling their environment, but human genetic manipulation is out of bounds for almost all scientists for ethical reasons.) (3) Results from sequencing pathogens are generally more actionable--you can detect transmission or drug resistance which can inform changes in patient care, as opposed to say, finding a putative increased relative risk of diabetes or heart failure, which doesn't translate easily into a plan of care.

>You can make pretty much anything seem equivalent if you abstract it enough. You've basically just equated MVC with any program that does IO. I can't see how that's a useful thing to do.

shrug MVC / MVVM is that simple.

>why would you represent a transformation (something inherently a verb/action) as a model? "Model - Input -> output format transformation". It operates on models, it's not A model.

Models are not limited to being data stores. Models are responsible for doing work, so-called business logic. Controllers / ViewModels work with Views to take in user input and apply it to the models, then take the updated model and give it back to the user.

>How do I represent a lexer as a view?

The lexer is part of the model.

The view would be what the compiler uses for input/output: for a CLI compiler it would be the function that reads stdin or the filesystem + the function that writes to stdout and the filesystem, for a compiler hosted in an IDE or webpage would be the compiler library interface (ie: a programmatic way to give it files or strings and receive output + errors), and so on. Separate views that only know how to take in user input and display user output, interfacing with a common controller/viewmodel + model.

Edit: Minor clarifications.

You'd be surprised. While the -official- code will typically always get QA'd and reviewed, there are plenty of cases where custom code for a specific use case is done by one engineer and bypasses the proper channel because of deadlines.
I worked on video encoding for a long time. And chroma-subsampling is no longer necessary.

In short, chroma subsampling was performed because it matched the data more closely to how the eyes work, at the cost of losing certain colors.

Today, modern video and image compression algorithms can compensate without using chroma subsampling. Starting with the full image actually gives the encoder more to work with, and it can optimize better.

Because the software has improved (at least, the cutting edge open source tools have), chroma subsampling is obsolete, and will produce inferior picture qualtiy at larger byte sizes than their rgb444 compressed alternatives.

If you are seeing improvements by doing chroma subsampling, either you are hurting quality or you should use better compression software.

To be fair, it doesn't seem like the developers could/should be installing sidewalks on land that isn't theirs without coordination with the landowner (so they have to end the sidewalk at the edge of their land).
The rabies mention is notable.

Hedgehogs rarely bite unless you treat them really bad. They can deliver a strong bite but only as last resource. I never has been bitten. They will "bite you" with the spines and as they clean and cover the spines with their salive (nobody knows really why) this could lead theoretically to a rabies case. I think that is a very low risk because rabies is almost erradicated in many countries of Europe. It should be noted in any case that rabies has returned recently to Greece by the big scam (Macedonia, 2012). The first cases since 1987. Starting with a few and with about 50 cases registered of rabid animals between 2012 and 2014 at least.

Most hedgehogs in two or three minutes will relax, specially if petted. They seem to enjoy it. I have manipulated a few and is a very gentle insectivore. Shrews in the other case will readily try to bite a finger if trapped with the bare hands.

The entire second stage, including the payload adapter, did a deorbit burn after deployment, to avoid creating space debris.
Not exactly...

Cars require maintenance the expectation of which greatly influences our purchasing decisions (e.g. "Toyota tax").

People generally don't buy used phones.

Phones don't come in mutually exclusive form factors (2dr coupe, airport van, cab and chassis, everything in-between). They're all touchscreen slabs with one or more buttons at the bottom.

You also won't get fired from your job if you break your phone and your bosses call goes to voicemail. If you don't show up for work because your car is broken you'll probably be fired.
Shouldn't, not can't. You still can have components keep their own state, and that may be the right decision for small/localized/ephemeral state, such as what's selected in a dropbox, or the coordinates of a widget that's being dragged around. But it's more common to have views trigger events/send actions, which then update the top-level state and trigger a re-render.

I think that was some sort of reflection on the camera housing. And I think the mass-adapter would stay with the 2nd stage for deorbit, they would rather not add to the space junk problem.
>inflicting these on C programmers

You're acting like it's unambiguously bad, but that's not true. For example, I might create a macro DEREF_AND_FREE(x) which expands to if(x)free(*x). Often times, I'll lazily use that in places where I know x isn't null. It's more readable and maintainble than splitting the macro up into two separate macros, DEREF_AND_FREE_IF_NONNULL and DEREF_AND_FREE_I_KNOW_ITS_NONNULL. These UB-based optimizations which are "inflicted" on me mean that I don't take the performance hit for my laziness.
Please define which assembly you are talking about. Older CPUs didn't trap on undefined opcodes (I'm talking things like the 8080, Z80, 6502, 6809, etc). And even on a more modern CPU (say, the x86 line) I see that the condition flags after a DIV are all undefined (Z, C, S, O, all undefined; also, MUL also leaves the flags undefined).

But yes, assembly languages tend to be more defined than C.
Programmers would be wise to understand how irrational people are and that reason rules very little of our lives.

Many functions and macros in Clojure rely on reducing variadic parameters using recursion, e.g.

(defn max "Returns the greatest of the nums."
([x] x)
([x y] (. clojure.lang.Numbers (max x y)))
([x y & more] (reduce1 max (max x y) more)))

You'd be limited to 2 params if you didn't have variadicity. Some macros like switching, which in Clojure is called `condp`, would lose their elegant single-parens appearance if variadicity wasn't allowed.
In Redux, if you edit the user's name, that would dispatch/trigger an action {type: 'SET_USER_NAME', payload: 'New Name'}. The store would take the current state and the action and generate the new state. Then it would send it to React to cause a re-render of everything to the virtual DOM (not just everywhere the username was, but actually the entire view). And then it diffs the vDOM with the real DOM and updates the real DOM anywhere it's different.

Bone-headed? I dunno. The cost to upgrade cities is beyond absurd. Installing a subway or light rail into an existing city is comically expensive.
And in essence, the market is interpreting onerous licensing as damage and routing around it (to bastardize a famous quote about Usenet) ;)
The #1 reason why cities are not built to human scale and why chain businesses with slim margins survive and local businesses do not is 100% civil politics. It's parking minimums. Eliminate parking minimums and commercial real estate becomes cheaper, building setbacks get smaller, and walking becomes the rational way to get around because stuff is closer together & driving short distances becomes more difficult.
Good point. Orbcomm already paid off the booster. Now SpaceX can take it up for a joy ride for only a few hundred grand of gas and really fly the fins off it.

The page I cited actually breaks down lifetime earnings by age (a.k.a. "annual income"). It's true that non-college graduates get an earlier start on savings, but the overall trend is that their annual income starts to decline as they get closer to retirement age (they peak in their mid to late 40's).

You have to assume totally unrealistic investment gains in the first four years to make up for the $500k less total income.
