I wish the Internet Archive offered a way to download a WARC[0][1] archive of a specific site somehow, so we didn't have to do like waybackpack and fetch through the wayback machine and try to strip out the modified HTML.

Of course, they probably store their collection in huge WARC files not clearly deliniated by domain. I wonder how heavy it would be to generate WARC subsets on-the-fly, given that they already have a good index for the data?

My guess is that there is a test scenario in which they don't want google analytics to load?
It seems like they store files (presumably both internal and public) under https://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/ so I guess it's the way they represent their non-indexable urls.
Plus the platform has four computer controlled engines on basically universal joints to stabilize it. A crew then boards the barge and puts 'shoes' over the landing legs then welds them to the deck.
I always thought it should be called USRT when strictly synchronous, but indeed, everyone else called it USART, so I called it the "USART controller"

For instance, this is the code I use to emulate it (also includes pin connection list in the comments): https://gitlab.com/higan/higan/blob/master/higan/sfc/control...

(Seems silly to emulate this device, but it allows for testing and debugging the code you want to run on real hardware.)
No really. Send slightly jacked-up canned emails. Gravitas!
To add to above: In the previous barge landing they did weld the landing legs to the barge using some kind of bracket. But they discovered that the centre of gravity is low enough to not need any welding. During the previous attempt the sea was heavier than this time.

Maybe they still weld it this time, but that is done by having someone go to the barge and do it.

Yes, I would agree with "industrial", especially since you can link with any C library after translating the headers with SWIG (translations of common libraries like C, winapi and GTK are included with FB). I've never used/don't know VB, but it appears that quite a lot of FB's design is borrowed from it. In recent years FB has been focused on borrowing C++ features instead (and even aiming to be ABI compatible with g++, not sure if that works). E.g. recently added "dim byref" (like a C++ reference variable) and polymorphism + RTTI. Sometimes things move in the other direction, like binary literals new in C++14 :)
I think a big part of the deterioration of musical quality is connected to three major factors:

1. Recorded music has meant less need for such large numbers of musicians, as a result the pool of potential talent is lower. Much less live music is performed as a result, as a result the pool of musicians with great live musical abilities has gone down.

2. Multi-track and then computer recording has made it possible to make much more 'effects' based music, which wows the ears sonically, but requires less musicianship to back it up. The large producers of pop music has largely clung to using these techniques to give their music a unique 'modern' sound, largely fueled by the latest developments in technology.

3. The ever progressing corporatization of the music industry.

The problem with these buzz words is it seems most people can't seem to agree on what they mean. This author seems to think continuous delivery replaces agile, case in point.

It'd be nice if people could just layout concrete development / release plans and not assume everyone has the same interpretation for the buzz word that happens to be in vogue for a particular management team.

Some of the massively expensive cities don't have the infrastructure to support a London-like commuter lifestyle. LA traffic & all the young people leave? They'll go somewhere else entirely.
You sound as if people who lived somewhere a long time acquire some sort of exclusive rights to the place, regardless of how much other people want to live there and how much are they willing to pay for it.

Naming one of the remote drones 'Boaty' heads off people calling the ship 'Boaty' as a nickname. I wonder if that's why they did it.
Hah. I'm as tax-and-spend liberal as they come, and explicitly in favour of wealth redistribution. But regulating rents that way creates awful distortions: it means people in their 40s pay less than people in their 20s, it means if person A works where person B lives and vice versa they can't exchange houses without a huge financial penalty.
because people will install your app and then uninstall it. However they may still retain the OTHER developer's app that includes your SDK. This is just how customers behave.

If your flow is blocking on Mondo app being installed - that's fine. This means that the surface area of attack is restricted around your app. That's totally OK.

However - that is a very different positioning than oauth. I would say Oauth will degrade gracefully to your protocol if the endpoint is restricted to another app that must mandatorily be installed on the host device.

More regulation doesn't really fix the basic problem of too many people wanting to live there and not enough accommodation. In China/Vietnam they deal with it by just putting up a bunch of 30/40 story apartment blocks which only seem to take about a year to build. I guess the slightly non democratic nature of the place lets them ignore the NIMBYs and just build stuff. Don't know if we could move that way in London - not commie dictatorship but weighing the benefits to those who want homes against the NIMBYs?
I think the name chosen is a good one and like David Attenborough himself, the boat's name will endure for a long time.

However, what did the organisation (NERC) expect when they gave a free choice for the names of the boat. They would have been far better having a poll of say 5 names which had been pre-selected.

I'm not convinced on the choice of name; Sir David Attenborough has already received many honours and appears to have received this nomination because (1) he is famous as a broadcaster and (2) is popular as a person, seemingly being of a mild and pleasant character.

So they cleverly side-stepped the Boaty issue by picking a name to which people can't object without being accused of picking on a "nice" 90-year-old man. I don't think that's a good basis for a naming policy.

I'm sure there are many publicly-anonymous actual research scientists who could have received this honour instead and BIS / NERC could still have thrown the Boaty-as-ROV bone to the voters.
I don't think zoning and the other minimum requirements are the issue. It's the fact that the longterm costs of sprawl aren't going to be born by the individual, so the individual doesn't consider them.

If the country decides to fight a war that adds another $5K in debt per citizen, most people are oblivious to that.

But if they told you your share for the war will be an extra $100 a month for the next 5 years, you might pay more attention.

By the way, the average taxpayer's share of the national debt is now $161K.
Well, the lesson here is to not use asserts for that task. Asserts are by definition checks that are meant not to be included in release versions. If checking some invariant matters to you in the actual application (as opposed to just being a debugging convenience), then do a normal check.

Good choice, and also a great way for the organisation to get out of a tough PR situation. Literally no-one dislikes David Attenborough.
I think on the Republican side the other candidates were either weak-water, nutty or too divisive. If they'd had a 10 years younger McCain in there he'd have walked away with it. Trump wouldn't have stood a chance. But while many of the things Trump said were alarming, many of the things the other candidates were saying were also alarming. They also lacked the spine to properly stand up to him and allowed his position on things to dictate theirs. When he took an extreme position on something they moved to becoming more extreme on it as well, which lended him credibility.

On the Democrat side, the Clintons just have such deep roots in the Democrat party institutions. Whatever you think of her personally she's a very experienced heavy hitter and her husband is still very popular in his own right.

Oh awesome, so the original SWC supported DSP pass-through as well? Thought that was a SWC DX2 feature only (the 'Rolls Royce of SNES copiers.') Super UFO actually had a NEC uPD DIP socket you could connect to its mainboard for DSP-1 support.

The chips that could never work with that design would be the SA-1, SuperFX, S-DD1, SPC7110, MCC, and ICD2 (Supe Game Boy.) These coprocessors sit between the SNES bus and the ROM/RAM, but copiers can only sit between the cartridge and the bus, so you won't be able to substitute the game mask ROMs inside the cart.

> sd2snes doesn't actually support that many enhancement chips yet so I don't it's worth the investment over what I've already got.

It does all the firmware-based ones we dumped except for the ST011/ST018 (two Japanese chess games.) So that's DSP-1/1B/2/3/4, ST010, Cx4. But so far, nothing does SA-1, SuperFX, S-DD1, SPC7110. I think the sd2snes could do the latter two, but so far it does not. ikari has been working on either SA-1 or SuperFX, but I don't think it's panned out thus far. Those two are more complex individually than the entirety of an NES.

I'm not sure if it does OBC1 or not. Nobody seems to care either way about poor Metal Combat ;)

> Of course the sd2snes is a superior solution but we didn't have that 20 odd years ago when the SNES was still in its prime.

Undoubtedly. I would have killed for a parallel port copier back in '04. I spent about 5-6 years developing an emulator using a Super UFO 8.3j that I paid $250 for in '01. Every time I assembled a new hardware test, I had to run this old DOS tool to generate a valid Super UFO copier header, split the game into 1MiB chunks to fit on a series of 1-4 floppy disks. Then I had to load each floppy onto the UFO, run the test, power cycle the UFO, put another floppy in, go through the menu to copy the save RAM back to the disk, then copy that file back to the PC for analysis. It took me about 10-20 minutes (floppy disks are slow) per hardware test. And I must have done over a thousand of them.

If I weren't poor back then, I'm sure I would have tried to purchase a parallel-port copier.
I'm curious how much that's really an issue? I hear, constantly, people talking about 40TB homelabs they built on individual ZFS drives to store .. whatever.

Your OS a couple of gigabyte, and existing filesystems have a long, long history of serving them perfectly fine. Why not install your OS and then make yourself huge /home or whatever and mount that?
Race of whom? Cruz, Trump, Bernie and Hillary are all caucasian. What am I missing?
I'll respectfully disagree.

The fact that the data is from 1915 - 1920 does not invalidate it unless you want to suggest that human nature in 1915-1920 is different than it is now - which would seem a strange point to defend. And the sample sizes are quite decent.

I know that the HM userbase had a tendency to dismiss studies that are incorrectly conducted, but I don't think that this is one of those cases.

Yeah, I know. So what can we do about it? Redo valuations? That's disproportionately expensive compared to the amount of tax revenue we're talking about. Add new bands or move the existing ones? Again just seems like a lot of effort for an exercise that would have to be repeated every few years.

Interestingly, excluding 2000 (where Gore arguably won anyway), and 1992, being the most disliked means you win...

From that, I would take that firing up your base (and thus making the other side dislike you more) is more effective than being moderate and trying to appeal to both sides.
How could he, of all people, have not seen this coming?

Trump basically "primaried" his way to the nomination by going hard right to appeal to the Republican talk-radio base. He'll lose of, course, in the general, but that's the basic strategy of winning any Republican nomination. Many, many Republicans have won their local primaries only to lose in the general.

Chants are just a show of strong emotion. Something the professional life generally abhors - that's why it feels weird. People are not supposed to be that happy about their success, and especially not to connect private business with national pride.

But space industry is a bit different, and SpaceX is a very different company - they're honest-to-god driven by the idea, not profit.

(This chanting irks me a bit too, tbh., but I know it's because I'm not American and I want to picture SpaceX's successes as something done for all mankind, not just one group of people I don't belong to. A funny psychological bias :).)
