"He was, nevertheless, a wonderful translator when put together with the right originals, as Michael Hofmann and James Lasdun discovered when they commissioned from him versions of three episodes from the Metamorphoses for their compilation After Ovid, published in 1994. One might initially have thought that Ovid’s wit and sophistication would clash disastrously with Hughes’s directness and immediacy, and indeed the jokes tend to fall by the wayside, casualties of the muscular, utterly engrossing manner in which Hughes focuses on the narratives that he brings so spectacularly to life. Recognising the potential of the marriage, and o’erflowing the measure as was his wont, Hughes produced versions of 21 further passages, and all were collected in his glorious Tales from Ovid (1997). It’s one of the great poetry books of the 20th century, and illustrates the superb timing as well as the extraordinary force of which his poetic idiom was capable."

Actually a good tip. Last paragraph.

Jonathan Hurst, the inventor of the ATRIAS robot, has argued that we have the actuators necessary and that efficiency solves some of the problems with batteries[0]. A brushless motor hooked up to a big reduction gearbox can have a pretty high torque density. If we design our robots to be light and design them such that they don't throw away energy with every step, then they can go further with current batteries.

It's entirely possible I'm misremembering, but I could swear it was in Amendment 1/C95, not in C90. I have this distinct memory about making jokes about how C95 and Windows 95 were both outdated technologies the day they were released. ;-)

I thought C90 was essentially just a reformatting of C89. Interestingly, the ANSI C page agrees with me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_C#C95
I would have said 'Comcast'. Too many people who will cut your service if they think you're sharing it. Who are the border servers if your ISP can cut you off?
No. The default in the USA is that consumers are not liable for anything that consumers claim they didn't buy, and the company can't prove they did.

The reason it reduces crime is that you can't make fake credit cards with data collected from a skimmer, and use them in stores. Your fake credit cards fail because they can't do the chip interaction. Therefore in store fraud is reduced to people physically stealing your credit card.

Interesting. How would they know there is a better one available to the client?
No we don't want to go back, but there is a middle ground. The employer can loan workers the money to pay for training, and then forgive the loan after the worker completes a year or two on the job.

Hey, Linas Vepstas, buy a UPS so the thunderstorm doesn't shut your machines down. I have machines that have been running for 7 years without issue, and I have dozens of linux boxes. Invariably, the "won't boot" issue happens because a crappy Seagate drive loses integrity and wont read after a power cycle.

If you think it's so easy to write an OS from scratch that has the integrity, solidity, and robustness that Linux has, have at it.

I'm betting it'll take billions of man hours and several years to see the first fruit of your labor, and then people will just bitch about the FREE THING YOU GAVE THEM.
Well, most people that stand all day in retail actually harm their health.

The biggest problem is shoes: Most of those have heels that actually unbalances the body,the spine and muscles, specially women.

Heels are responsible for the biggest amount of accidents in the workplace, specially ankle sprains, also breaking rotulas when putting the heel on a hole.

Just one centimeter heel used for hours modifies the body because the body adapts to everything the same way that if you put mirrors in glasses, after a month the body adapts to inverted vision or if you put yourself glasses, the body adapts to the glasses.

Cyclone-style never-NULL pointers and bounded pointers would be interesting, especially if completely optional. They could be incrementally added to sub-trees of a risky codebase (like a parser) but not poison your ultimate ability to do pointer arithmetic.

> He started drinking a lot when some of his family members died unexpectedly in an accident.

I worked with a dev like this. (It was his parents who died.) But he didn't make it to his mid 50s. He was out drinking, and someone else drove home - someone more sober than my co-worker, but not actually sober. There was a car wreck, and my co-worker died from complications from the injuries.

I get that there's an immense amount of pain. But sedating the pain with alcohol isn't the answer. You need to find a way to deal with it, just avoid it.

However, am I right in thinking that, along with incurring new debt, Hamilton also recommended additional policies, such as taxation and protection of the industry? These are points of criticism of Argentina's new government: relaxation of import restrictions, and decreasing taxation of businesses and of exports from the wealthy agricultural sector.
Nepal calls it load shedding too. In practice it's fairly counterproductive there. People buy banks of car batteries and inverters to store power when it's available and use it later. So they use as much power as before, with the added benefit of tons of hazardous waste from all the equipment at each building. Which of course they just throw into piles of broken stuff.

Does the same happen in South Africa?

The most common use cases for me are just replacing words and tweaking alignment. Obviously there are ways to do it in other editors, but having multiple cursors exposes these capabilities in a convenient way.

But one thing it's really useful for is making bulk replacements on the fly without having to think too hard about what to match on. Instead of fiddling around trying to create a perfect regex to match the right cases, you can just step through instances of a loose match, choosing the right ones, and then make your edit.

Overall, for me it just feels like a much more intuitive ad-hoc style of editing.
Probably because they can share most of the codebase between Mac and iOS.

Personal Branding platform launched today in Spain
It's certainly possible for unions to prevent manufacturing that pays less than a living wage. It's not clear to me how they could ever cause it to happen. The big problem that hasn't been mentioned so far in this thread is the other side of the equation: it's not enough to make the job pay a living wage for the workers. It must also produce a product that consumers want to buy, which means producing it at a price those consumers are willing to pay.

There is a very direct relationship to consider here, because the consumers and the workers are often the same people. If one worker takes one week to manufacture an item which that worker is not willing to buy at a price of one week's wages, then they should not expect to be able to make a living from this.

What unions can do - and frequently have done - is raise the minimum price of goods and transfer some fraction of this to the manufacturing workers. If this makes the goods too expensive, then the factory closes down because people aren't buying them.

The cost of labour is substantially lower in various Asian countries. That isn't going to change, and you've effectively stated that you're unwilling to accept paying local labour similar rates. The conclusion you should be drawing from this is that the only way to make manufacturing work in this environment is to massively improve the productivity per unit of labour. You need to be getting away from people assembling things with their hands, and towards workers who build and maintain manufacturing automation.

Sadly, when this opportunity arose in the recent past, it was those same unions who tried very hard to block it, and were successful in that goal - manufacturing is still a laborious manual process.

Except for the small detail that these guys' project swiftly disintegrated due to personality conflicts, zoning issues, and possible fraud before it ever started, and the most damage it did was that a couple of contractors didn't get paid. Meanwhile, Chavismo has immiserated millions of people and imposed a corrupt authoritarian government on a whole nation. So the parallels aren't really very close at all.
So an American government agency destroyed an American business merely as collateral damage of trying to persecute an unrelated guy who'd revealed their wrongdoing. And they won't face any consequences for doing this. Something is very wrong with this.

Not just speculating land owners but also the financial institutions profiting from issuing mortgages whose influence on policy is obviously enormous.

And while loosening zoning laws wouldn't hurt, there has not been any radical increase in such laws over the last 20 years, certainly not across the whole nation. Yet housing prices have sky rocketed over the same period, even in areas where zoning is lax. So, while it may help some, a real solution is evidently not going to be as facile as some re-zoning.

I teach Intro to Computer Science to (mostly) economics majors.

I currently have four Chinese students (out of 45 total), all of whom go through the right motions. They sit in the front of the class, they ask questions after lecture, etc... The types of things your mother would tell you to do so the professor "knows your name".

All four exhibit a significant language barrier. Although... I don't think that is the only thing hampering their performance.

I personally know how hard it can be to learn in a different language environment (I took a university class held in Finland and it was tough to say the least). Luckily, it was a math class and I was able to eke out good marks.

At the risk of sounding cynical, and not wanting to paint a picture of all Chinese students, I get the vibe from mine that they are really just there to get a degree, not to learn AT ALL. Hey... so are many of my WASPy students, let's not kid ourselves. But it's something about the way my Chinese kids want accommodation solely by going through the motions, as if just showing up to class and sitting up front guarantees you an A. I just don't see the real effort on their behalf.
It has definitely gotten better and VS Code and Brackets both give hope it can still improve. Actually Brackets all file search is faster than sublime.
I can get behind the philosophy of buying more expensive high quality goods, the only problem is that its very hard to find them. Many brands have decided to sell cheap goods for a large pricetag as status symbols, or have caved to pressure and reduced quality while not lowering prices in an grab for short term profit. Sometimes it takes much less cognitive effort to buy the cheapest thing even if it is of poor quality, at least your not getting ripped off.

I think the bigger issue (which another article I read on this last week described, but I sadly can't find it right now) is that low punishment for when it's caught means its more likely to happen and not be caught. There were 3 cases reported in 2015, how many went unreported? If the culture is "oh it's fine, just don't be egregious about it" I expect it's happened a lot more than 3 times in the last year.

If you care enough about privacy to sign up for protonmail, why not just learn how to use pgp? It's not perfect, but it works. And... oh goodness, I'm looking at this [support page][1]; If you send encrypted mail to non-protonmail addresses, the recipients have to open the message in a web browser and enter in a password to read it. So instead of exchanging public keys, you have to send them a password, probably over an unencrypted channel. I guess it's easier than asking them to generate a keypair. But if your recipient is too lazy to set up pgp, they're probably going to be just as annoyed at having to open your message in a browser and enter in a password, right? It seems like an awkward compromise.
