> I'm really hoping this allows me to compile LibreOffice on Windows.

Is this not helpful?

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnWi...

LibreOffice has official Windows builds, so I would expect that they can already build the software on Windows.
Yep. As an IBMer (not working in a cognitive field), we started hearing the word "cognitive" a while ago and apparently it has caught on in the wider world. Now we're hearing clients asking for "cognitive" and the CTOs know the word, and all the trade magazines are going on about it.

It's not too different from "cloud" was when it launched. Sure, it's not anything more than a new approach to the same things we used to do, but with the marketing and the different mindset, we begin to see a shift in the IT landscape. Sure "cloud" just means "someone else's computer" but IT infrastructure looked a lot different before "cloud" really took off. Cognitive is supposed to be computers doing things they used to do, but in a more human-like fashion, taking human needs and wants into consideration.

If there's one thing IBM is assuredly good at, it's inventing new buzzwords.
Any updates on Xamarin? Are they going to make it more affordable?

This is surprisingly low. Does anyone have a performance comparison between this and a gpu backed neural networks?

It's funny, everytime Weboob is presented somewhere, and everytime there is a post about the latest version of Weboob, the first comment is a variation of "it's sexist/boobs are unprofessional/grow up", and very very little time is spent talking about the actual thing, what it does and why its only goal is to become irrelevant. Sad thing.

Here's what they have to say about it, and why there's very little chance they will change anything:

You may want to check if you need `contributors` to the OSM part of the Thunderforest ones as well. Not sure if the requirements are different there or not.
Have you checked out DCOS? Once you have your cluster set up, your path to installing Spark is running "dcos package install spark" on your laptop.

If so, I will consider switch.
Does this means that persistent* command line history will work out of the box on Windows? If this is the case, wow, we waited and waited and waited and it is finally here, thanks Ubuntu!

*persistent: open command line, write something, close command line, open command line, arrow up\down shows last executed command.

And yes, I know persistent command line history can be set via power shell, but it needs to be set (i.e. not working out of the box) and it is not quite the same.

There are several examples in history of succumbing to hte logic "we need a single-party state in order to finally listen to scientists about the best way to run society!" It doesn't end well.

I suppose if the scientists were in charge, we'd finally stop burning fossil fuels? That we'd force massive changes to resource distribution and reshape society in order to save the world?

And if you don't agree, you're too dangerous, right? Off ot the gulags?

Do you understand that millions and millions of people would die of starvation?

It's amazing how eagerly people advocate for the right kind of totalitarianism.

I was crushed when they added support for protected branches but didn't include per-user permissions.
And what makes you think they will do the same? Fact is you have no idea, and all signs point to a more open MS that has learned that simply throwing their weight around won't work anymore.
I previously didn't have an opinion on cloudflare until recently using the net from a network that was black listed - web surfing was reduced to constantly filling captachas. Bottom line for me is no single organization should have so much power and I have stopped using cdn's and encourage everyone else to do the same.
Stenographer Gets Ass Kicked by Screaming Fast Typing Game
They probably don't know. It's very likely that a subsample of that ethnicity had good medical data and thus conclusions can only be drawn conclusively for that subsample. However it would indicate an area for study should more reliable sample sizes of other 'near' populations be possible.
There are reasons to doubt the FBI is being honest about this matter: Firstly, they must have known they could desolder and copy the chip containing the PIN-protected key, replacing it if it were erased. This method was put forward by multiple security experts. So the FBI started from a dishonest position regarding Apple being the only source of assistance.

Now they claim that a mystery exploit emerged and was put to use between Sunday night and Tuesday. That's not enough time to crack the phone using a pile of chips and brute-forcing the PIN.

Since the FBI started from a dishonest position, and hasn't spent enough time to plausibly have used the know approach, and they have carefully avoided saying they actually got keys and/or encrypted data out of the phone - or that they did anything at all with the phone, there is a more than small chance that the FBI has simply moved their own vague goalposts and declared that they have everything they need.

Not honest or ethical.

Maybe it's a KDE problem? Other people certainly have been successful. But I guess that's par for the course in Linux -- lots of incompatibilities depending on how your environment is set up. Something like WINE is never gonna get there for running games as well as a VM can. So the options realistically are using a VM or reboot. The VM option is really pretty good all things considered.

This isn't really easy to implement for some syscalls in NT, like fork(2) for example.
First off, I think this is actually designed mainly for embedded applications. It's the only reason I can think of that they'd make a single self-contained monitor that only works for one host.

Second, it's great that you want a car instead of a faster horse, but I want 10 horses. Why?

- 1 horse trained for 1 job easier & more reliable than 1 horse/car trained for 10
- 10 horses more flexible than 1 horse or 1 car
- if a horse isn't doing its job, shoot it and replace it
- don't need to go to horse school to learn how to use or maintain one
- don't need to hire an engineer to teach horse new trick
- most problems can be solved with a horse

I get that with some applications, having a couple extra minutes saved by your monitoring system can mean millions of dollars saved. For those cases, there will always be custom-tailored solutions because there is value there. For 99% of the rest of the time, you get more value from simple tools that can be combined to do their jobs well.

If instead of focusing on the transportation we were focusing on the road, we could build a foundation for horses and cars to coexist. I'd love to see more protocols and specifications for each kind of monitor (other than syslog, RRD & SNMP) so they could simply be made according to spec and we could mix and match as we wished.
I can't wait for this to land in the enterprise edition. We go through some pretty convoluted steps to maintain branch protection while still allowing issues to be edited.

I wonder how the Cygwin people feel? It would seem to me, and I'm a very long time Cygwin user (from before Red Hat bought them), that it makes Cygwin obsolete.
There was another choice like Cygwin, though not as comprehensive - UWin - by David Korn, creator of the Korn shell (ksh):

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

I've used it some on Windows earlier, and it worked pretty well. Might still available if anyone wants to try it. The only small issue I had was that the process to download it from the (AT&T) web site was slightly involved, for no good reason, as far as I could see. But not difficult.
Yeah, it was a MS Research project that did the work.
Powershell is so foreign with its typed pipes to those of us who are accustomed to the string based pipes that I have a very hard time falling in love with it.

Declarative Dependencies for Unit Testing Node.js Services
Wait, getting node to work on windows is a pita?

I know of no language runtime and ecosystem that has better cross-platform support than Node (hm ok maybe Java also). I develop solely on Windows (I just like it better) and virtually all of NPM just works on my box. Even stuff people never tested elsewhere than on their Macs, it just works. Express, webpack, mocha, phantomjs, it's really quite impressive if you ask me.

Not switching until the end should work out better than switching multiple times.

4 doors, in 8ths to simplify fractions.

2/8,3/8,3/8 => random bad door removed, choose a random 3/8
3/8,5/8 => remove another door.

Next choice is only 5/8, whereas if we had waited it would have been 6/8.

No. No GUI applications (currently, and no announced future support... and I wouldn't bank on them doing it).

And even more importantly, claim your product keys! And then download those puppies with the Export to XML option in the My Product Keys page.

Note that you can only claim a limited number of keys per day. So don't get carried away claiming all five keys on one product, then all five on the next, etc. You will soon hit your daily limit. Spread your claims out among the products you think you might need until you run out, and then come back the next day to claim more.
At least Microsoft offers free VM images for precisely this purpose. Meanwhile, OS X barely works in a VM due to the lack of graphics acceleration (plus, running such a VM on a non-Mac is illegal).
Algorithms/protocols to solve the consensus problem in the presence of arbitrary "Byzantine" faults have been around for a long time (since the 1980s, at least e.g. [1]), and they keep getting better. Make the network closed-access (i.e. where the owners of all nodes are known/approved), and voila, you've also got resistance to Sybil attacks.

The end result is something with blockchain characteristics, but at lower computational cost than Proof-of-Work. Maybe that's not something everyone wants, but banks do.

>We implement fork in the Windows kernel

So will this be only on Windows 10?
As time goes on libraries may not be the fundamental issue. Hardware, on the other hand, may become the decisive factor. You will just pay more and more in terms of the fraction of the cost that goes to energy consumption.
As I mentioned in my other reply to you (which happened at the same time) revenue neutral carbon tax, or the equivalent righty version which is cap and trade.

But really technology is going to drive this change, as long as the entrenched interests don't prevent the use of renewables that are cheaper than fossil fuels.

Already ideally sited solar and wind are cheaper than coal, and learning curves are pushing that down all the time.

Storage is also getting incredibly cheap, with lithium ion batteries it's around $0.08/kWh right now at the wholesale level.

What we're really going to need is efficient carbon capture schemes though, because the feet-draggers have cost us an extremely valuable 15 years. If we can do capture at something less than $500/ton then I'm starting to feel a bit optimistic that we can head off the worst of it.

But every. Single. Ton. That we emit right now is going to cost out children several times that amount. Improving efficiency of use and increasing the scale and efficiency of the renewable energy manufacturing is a massively important economic development for the US and the world.
I'm guessing you are right. The usual problems with /mnt/c. I was wondering about rootfs being per user as well. On a server that may be a problem, but perhaps not on a laptop. It sounds like this is not meant to be the basis for production level deployments, but useful for development.

Powershell ISE is quite a good terminal emulator (even tho it wasn't intended as one), it's also extensible via addons and there are quite a few nifty ones like git integration and the likes.

This is the ISE in a default configuration https://imgur.com/xz9Kfpt
On the left just an open terminal, in the middle a script which can be edited and executed at any time with F5, and on the right all the powershell commands which could be either immediately executed or inserted into your script with ease.

Unless you need tab browsing that much, which you can get via addons, the ISE is one of the best "terminals" out there imho.
There's easier ways to irritate your users.

My mom was extremely sick with an autoimmune disorder about 10 years ago. She went to the hospital frequently (both inpatient, outpatient, and for scheduled appointments) constant blood draws -- a dozen vials at a time. The nurse once joked that she wish she had some juice and cookies to to her. Cheaper, more frequent testing on smaller volumes of blood would be fantastic.
App has been short for "application" since at least the DOS days, when Lotus 1-2-3 was frequently called the PC's "killer app".
Higher prices on carbon fuels would be the simplest solution. Cap and trade works. It's not perfect but it works. Creating property rights for the sky lets markets do their magic.

It's a fun read. You know, I'm not normally one to jump on the "offended" bandwagon. In this case I felt compelled to speak up because the name makes it pretty much impossible to reference or recommend the project in a business setting. Wearing a t-shirt to work makes me feel like a true rebel; mentioning a project with components such as "boobsize" and "wetboobs" is going to simply be too weird for many people.
I don't read that epistasis was suggesting it's because they're a single party totalitarian state. It's because their elected officials aren't loudly proclaiming that climate change doesn't exist, regardless of how many parties there are.

Plenty of multi-party democracies have parties that somehow manage to agree on whether anthropogenic climate change exists and whether dinosaurs were real. America just isn't one of them.

We don't need a single party state, we need parties that aren't embarrassingly out of touch with how the world works. When your presidential candidates take pride in not believing things despite overwhelming evidence, you have a problem.
Did you notice that there is more signs every year, that we are heading to catastrophe but we try not to think about it and feel like everything will be ok anyway - who cares? It's better to read what's up with Kardashians instead of facing the reality. Reality in this case means changing the way we live, dramatically, because there is no other way to stop what's coming. Politicians will not do this because it means economical decline, unemployment etc.

On last conference in Paris NOTHING was done. All agreed that everyone will do what they "can" to work against global warming, which means every country in the world can say "we are doing what we can" while doing almost nothing.

Since it is tax free, I assume it's a big draw. Is it worth the lifestyle change?

How was/is your day to day life and job?
If it's too minimal, you just build out more until you have something that's viable.

A bigger risk is failing because you've built the wrong features. It's harder to change or remove features than it is to build them, and you also don't get the time back for misplaced features. Hence the bias toward starting small.
Is this GPGPU only, or does it also support GLES or OpenGL?
right, which means more and more people won't bother learning PowerShell and just use grep and the like.

It is still somehow a secret that PowerShell even exists. I can't count the number of Windows users I know that still open cmd.exe, or install cygwin so they can grep files.

I'm just saying that dealing with text is inferior to .NET objects on windows, and the PowerShell pipeline is much more powerful. However, I don't know how many people will end up learning this cause, "hey I can just use bash!"

I wish there would be more details. It reminds me of the very old Carbon Dater from Apple which used to tell you if your MacOS9 program ws compatible with Carbon on MacOSX and tell you exactly which OS function were gone, which were deprecated and what the alternatives for them were.

Is Centennial the same approach?

Or is it a wrapper around your app, taking your straight executable and just failing OS calls that are not supported and forbidden?
Yes! Don't settle for the wrong culture, and pretend to be someone you are not.

What are you talking about? It's MIT licensed and their contribution policy says they do accept features if you sign their CLA (which is exactly the same thing Google and any other big companies do)

What closed Microsoft-controlled system? You can compile that code in either Mono or coreclr.

I get you're not happy Microsoft just released something in an area you've been working in, but this is just FUD.
Hah, that's not even remotely what I was asking for, and very weird that you would put totalitarianism as words in my mouth. Most unfair.

the way that parties change is that people stop voting for them. Any vote for such a stridently anti-science and anti-future party encourages them.

That said, this is my most important issue. Others will rank other issues higher, and vote on that basis. But it will be at least a decade after the Republican Party apologizes and corrects their science mistakes that I will trust them to vote for them.

That issue was with the VM in unified mode.

With WINE, everything works fine – but not with UPlay.

So I can run the game, via UPlay in the VM (but not unified mode), or I can pirate it and run it in WINE.

But unified mode, or paid in WINE, doesn’t work.
Might be interesting to have a clearer separation between episodes and podcasts. As well as this, some kind of related / similar podcast feature would be cool - if harder to get data for.

I think the 126 is all companies participating in the program, not necessarily the ones that are actively tracking your browser. The second tab contains the companies tracking you. Luckily I only had 9 and was able to opt-out of all of them.
>Also, Teslas and other electric vehicles do not depend on fossil fuels, even if they can potentially be powered by fossil fuels (at much higher efficiencies than fossil fuel vehicles)

Of course they do. They are made of materials that depend on fossil fuels for extraction. To pretend otherwise is completely idiotic. Everything that doesn't come from plants has to be mined and mining is energy intensive.
