MSVCRT.DLL isn't redistributable, it's a system component. There are some changes recently that I haven't kept up with to make it easier to target a single C library, but the redistributables all had the compiler version in the name and were not compatible across versions.
Actually, immunotherapy is the new old big thing in cancer research. As I recall it was first hot in the late 70s/early 80s after the invention of hybridomas, but failed to produce dramatic early successes.

I share the parent's skepticism. Fighting cancer is fighting basic biology population dynamics: the population that survives the assault is by definition harder to kill. It's made even harder by the very nature of cancer cells that freed from following the rules: they can relocate at will while simultaneously ignoring the body's zoning board (metastasis), steal nutrients (angiogenesis), dump waste in their backyard (poor lymphatic recruitment) and create an area that is inhospitable to other cells while simultaneously making for difficult drug delivery, ignore court orders to stop what they're doing (evade apoptosis), and replicate faster than other cells in the body (both by producing their own growth signals and ignoring anti-growth signals, including senescence). Also, the cancer cells have a head start. The deck is stacked against "curing" cancer by chemotherapeutics or immunotherapy.
I disagree on the point of no other games having the same level of user generated content. Specifically, Starcraft and then Warcraft III modding birthed multiple centi-million dollar industries (Tower Defense, MOBAs). Minecraft didn't exist at the time this article was written but obviously it has similar depth of user modding.

It's such a pity I don't use Microsoft Windows 10, because I'd be so thrilled to know that through the magic of telemetry, everything I do on a Microsoft Windows 10 enabled computer could help Microsoft win some crucial PR battles.

The company logo? Why? Would you please get the copyleft glyph in it? Seems more important.
As far as I am aware, yes. Using "cgo" (by importing "C") you can include C header files, and all c source files are compiled together with the Go files in your package. So if you have a foo.c containing int foo(int) you can just call it from Go by

i := C.foo(C.int(j))

Assuming j is a Go int type.

When you're a very public open-source project whose brand is so central to success, registration is the better thing to spend their money on. Let's Encrypt did not show good judgment on this one.

> This makes no sense. Because people who move to California also move from other states.

But California (like Texas) is large enough that a uniform sampling of Americans from other states injected into California is like adding a drop of water to the ocean.

The Californian exodus to smaller states, OTOH, is more like dumping a #10 can of ketchup into a hot tub.
I'd love to know as well. There's a lot of great data on doctors in the US at data.cms.gov and data.medicare.gov. Socrata, the company I work for, builds and hosts the APIs so let me know if I can help in any way!
Hah! I used to own this domain, planning to use it as a tool for uptime monitoring and statistics. I'm glad that someone else is making real use of it!
I'm all for syntactic sugar, but my experience with teaching programming is that Python is easy to pick up because of the lack of weird operators. Decorators are an obvious example where many struggle; and this looks like another.

It will take someone cleverer than me to come up with an alternative solutions; I suspect they chose "$" because it isn't an operator in Python and you have to do a lot of partial application, so the logic was probably "short is better". But having something more intuitive would be great (more pythonic?).

Also, if my neighbor saw a bunch of strangers in my house when I was away, I would want them to call the police. The problem in that particular case is not that they called the police but that the neighbours were not notified about unexpected strangers staying in the neighborhood.

If someone doesn't want me (a brown male) to stay in their house, I would absolutely like to know and would prefer to have a filter to easily find only the places that accept someone like me. The problem is not discrimination. The problem is anti-discrimination bullshit the company has to go through if they provided such a filter to make lives easy for everyone.

Well, part of the problem is that on a lot of issues folks are relatively balanced: all it takes is a few to sway an election one way or the other.

In response to your edit, I mean that it has cultural resonance that is unusually strong in relation to its linguistic overtones, in many ways similar to the semantic timbre of a character like 福. The level of abstraction is different from English because of the ideographic nature of characters that means the visual appearance is emphasised, so the boundary that you pick out between reference and referent is more blurred.

I'm not really clear why exactly this character isn't more widely used in text, but I feel this might not be a bright dividing line from more common characters. I think inclusion of the the 福倒 is a harder case to make, but the examples I quoted elsewhere in this thread make me think it should be included. Perhaps not what you were hoping for in terms of elaboration, the problem is more conceptual fuzziness on my side perhaps than language of expression.
I'd certainly be interested in hearing what's effective and what is not. How does your project work, for example? Are you discounting most immunotherapy drugs? Is there anything we should pay particular attention to when reading the mainstream media?
Pensions don't make any money with interest rates as low as they are. They need to be around 8% or so for pensions to be viable. Currently pension funds are doing the same unwise speculative investments everyone else is making because nothing else pays enough. As go pensions so goes retirement in general. Pensions were perfectly viable until the reign of Greenspan.
Wouldn't that be more akin to the design of the models?

We evaluated InfluxDB for our TSDB solution and found it to be generally high performance (up to about 100k unique series). Kapacitor also had some promising features for realtime aggregations, but was ultimately pretty buggy and didn't have support for out-of-order event processing. All in all, it looks like a great suite of products and we're curious to see how it evolves over the next few years.

Like many other users here, we were disappointed about paid clustering, but when the original press release said $400, we were willing to wait it out and see. However, we ultimately decided to go a different direction after seeing they wanted $20k+ to run clustering on a 256GB node. We ingest 10s of millions of data points per day from IoT sensors, and expect our data size to far exceed that capacity.

That said, we plan to run our own Cassandra cluster w/ KairosDB (http://kairosdb.github.io/) acting as a read / write abstraction layer. It'll cost us about $11k to run the cluster for the year, with 3 nodes @300GB/ea., leveraging Cassandra's (free) and open source clustering, HA, and replication technology.
They can decide to move, sure. And it might be the right decision.

However, hiring people and relocating them 1 week before said move was decided would just be incompetent.
So just some quick googling points to https://github.com/golang/go/issues/9601 which seems like it's still an open issue.

Either way if you're going to build UI for Windows C#/QT with an C FFI is the more sane way to go. Back when I worked on game engines most of the time we had the fast code down in native and used C# for the tools since it's such a productive framework compared to win32.
Yes, it is ran through C preprocessor. You can define for CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS or LDFLAGS in the form of special comment:

No the Google Finance download feature is far worse, and effectively useless for many types of analysis. The data only goes back to 2000, whereas Yahoo goes back to 1986. And the Google closing prices aren't adjusted for dividends which makes it impossible to calculate actual returns unless you pull that data in from another source. Yahoo includes a separate column which has that built in.

He pledged allegiance to Al Nusra, Hezbollah, and IS; these three groups have been in constant conflict for the past several years. Sounds to me like he was doing it for the attention. I also heard that IS never actually acknowledged that he was one of their recruits.

This is mid-Fla, but when we moved from a good school system in a Dallas suburb to Brevard County, my daughter went from top 20% of her class to top 5%. This was unplanned but it set the table for her to have a full ride undergrad scholarship leading to a graduate program with also an assistantship.

After leaving school ( she stopped at a Master's ) she left anything related to academia behind but she's still roughly able to exploit the degree as a credential .

But South Fl is a completely different thing. I once declined a job offer there simply because more than half of the rental property on offer appeared to be phone-drop scams.
They're huge players in single family rentals. Blackstone (a hedge fund) is the largest owner of single family rentals in the USA. And they really don't care about cash flow that much, they are trying to inflate the price of the asset, hence all the "cash over asking" sales. Which means they will dump it when they can't keep causing the prices to rise.

> Or maybe, just maybe, you should wonder why your company is full of disgruntled employees in the first place.

Presumably because one hired human beings rather than robots.

People do get disgruntled because they are mistreated, but that's because they perceive that they are mistreated. I imagine that we've all worked with people who perceive slights when there are none.

I don't know a good way to detect these hires: generally in the interview people do a decent job of hiding this attitude. Heck, some folks can even make it through a probationary period without showing their true colours!
This guy wants our rents to double so that tourists can more easily see a tourist attraction? That is just crazy.

First, Amazon isn't going away, and it isn't going to stop growing.

Second, rents and home prices here in Seattle are sky-high right now (huge demand). The only thing that is going to bring that down is a similarly huge amount of high-density construction (increasing supply to meet demand). If you're looking for someone to blame, look no further than our local NIMBYs, who have, for decades, tirelessly blocked efforts to build housing as demanded by the market.

We need more housing right near where everyone works (or our present transportation nightmare is going to get worse). Building downtown will also reduce rents in the surrounding neighborhoods (especially Ballard, Fremont, etc.)

Edge platform team employee here. A couple thoughts on methodology, focusing on our scripted test (under "stay productive longer" at https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/06/20/more-...), which is most comparable to Opera's test; nobody seems to challenge our Netflix results:

* We did not enable ad blockers, because we were testing the efficiency of the network stack, browser rendering pipeline, etc.; if you cut off ads, you're effectively skipping half the assignment. This is a valid way to improve the user experience, but not a valid way to measure browser efficiency, especially because it will disproportionately impact some sites (like the news sites that Opera's test focused on) and have no impact on other sites (like Netflix, where Edge demolishes the other browsers). It's basically skipping a lap of the race and then bragging that you finished faster.

* It's also worth noting that the ad blockers are often detected by many news sites and will actually prevent the main page content from loading at all. Not sure if Opera's test accounted for this.

* Our test was designed to mimic real-world behavior: Watching YouTube (foreground and background), shopping on Amazon, browsing the Facebook news feed, searching on Google, opening email in Gmail, and reading Wikipedia. To reduce variability, we used WebDriver to instrument the tests (supported by all four browsers tested) and made sure each task was timed rather than just a loop of consecutive tasks (which could disadvantage or advantage browsers depending on other factors like pageload performance or network conditions, in a way that doesn't reflect user experience, which is likely to linger on a page once it's loaded). We then used the Maxim 34407 power instrumentation built into the Surface Book (which is why we chose the Surface Book for this test) to measure actual instantaneous power consumption at the hardware, sampled once per second and then averaged across the duration of the test. We feel strongly that this is a highly scientific and defensible test setup which mimics typical user behavior and, significantly, measures the same markup and the same duration, on the same hardware, in every browser.

Of course! Most games must be played on hardest difficulty. In fact when very young (6-8) the boys liked to play only in God Mode - the young are very conservative. I challenged them: win level 1 of Descent I at Insane level, and I would buy Descent II. Got a call at work 2 days later! And they never resorted to God Mode again.
Worth noting that map() can be parallelized whereas a list comprehension can't necessarily (since it is an explicit loop). The multiprocessing module allows trivial map parallelization, but can't work on list comprehensions.

It's more than just stylistic.
What makes Hybris or Demandware a better fit for big companies than shopify?

It used to be that people would talk about magento being "once you've outgrown shopify". They don't seem to be saying that anymore.

Yup, especially considering vices revenue model involves basically writing articles for groups that pay them money.
The Omega Point
I suspect you have to examine the premise that the internet makes geography less relevant.

Yes, this reasoning is correct. Same principle applies to combination therapies for HIV, malaria, etc., where you're at risk of developing a resistant strain within the patient. Not sure why it isn't more common among cancer therapies. Maybe not enough unique targets?
I have just shut down 95% of my collectd/graphite infrastructure after migrating it over to InfluxDB+telegraf+grafana. I'm loving it! Since shutting down collectd, system load and io wait time across my fleet has gone way down, and available CPU has gone way up.

Though I wouldn't say it was a smooth transition. I started with 0.8, IIRC, and while it worked ok it used an amazing amount of storage. 4GB for a year worth of graphite data blew up to 100GB for a month of InfluxDB.

I gave up on InfluxDB a few times during the process, but at 0.11 I tried it again and is has been pretty good. We are only putting the Telegraf data and one small service statistic in it, but the storage is pretty reasonable at 12GB for a few months of data. Querying and graphing the data with Grafana is great.

If you have tried it before 0.11, definitely try it again. The guys giving a Prometheus talk at PyCon were really down on InfluxDB, but they hadn't tried it for 6 months. I was like "Yeah, it was unusable then". I wanted to like Prometheus, but I just couldn't figure out how to feed my data into it.
I would expect it would be, for a barebones GUI program. Now make a real program, where 90% of the logic isn't specifically UI stuff, and the benefits of doing it in Go makes more sense.

> If you put every English sentence (which is screaming crazy ---mind you, and single one of those bullshit will cost an actual physicist his credibility)

I agree that his English is not very good. But that's because it's badly translated from French. The French versions are perfectly coherent. Your English is better than his, but it's not very good either; for example, "bullshit" is not plural. Hopefully nobody will declare you to be a "charlatan" or a "crackpot" as a result.

Surprisingly, the actual paper of his that I read is mostly lacking such gross errors.

> We're talking about a guy who says apparitions of sun are related to altered states of conscience!

"Conscience" here is a mistranslation of the French "conscience", which means "consciousness". Also, he's not talking about "apparitions of sun" — that's your invention. He said "apparitions", which are cases where a Catholic believes they have seen the Virgin Mary. (Note that he is a professor at a Catholic university.) Sometimes these are accompanied by reports of bizarre, stereotyped changes in appearance of the sun, known as "miracles of the sun".

His overall conclusion, from the paper, is as follows:

> [A]pparitions and miracles of the sun cannot be taken at face value. There are natural mechanisms that can explain them, but they are so unusual that we were not aware of them. Miracles of the sun result from neurophysiological processes in our eyes and visual cortex, while apparitions involve more complex processes in our mind's brain.

He specifically considers and rejects the possibility of a supernatural or extraterrestrial origin for these phenomena, although those explanations are popular. He goes into some detail in the paper about explanations from neuroscience, psychology, and meteorology.

You're right that it isn't physics to investigate why people might see colored lights, grey discs, or other things that aren't there. But you are wrong to say that it isn't science.
Anyone know what they were doing for lighting by rockets? Seems like per vertex wouldn't work and pixel shaders were a lot way off. Did early opengl have specific functionality for that?
The holy grail would be fixing commonly occurring mutations that cause the cancer, but to my knowledge the edit/correction rate is too low for this to work currently, plus the possibility of causing more cancer by bad edits.

Thus, the T-cell approaches are more promising currently as it allows for direct modification of cells to fight cancer with known anti-cancer antigens, using a modified immune system.
Funny you should say that; there were two related reasons:

1 - the reason we didn't sell support for Linux is we couldn't provide the same level of support that we did for gcc etc. What we didn't comprehend is that most people didn't _want_ any support, or at least only minimal support, but they were used to paying for software and liked the idea of getting it on a physical medium with a paper manual.

2 - when the companies merged they were both about 200 people. RH had 20 engineers while we had over 160. Our revenue was about 15X theirs IIRC. But indeed: which company had a larger market cap? I was told when they went public they only had 6 engineers but I don't know if that was true.
> Are you saying that a company with voting rights shouldn't be allowed to have influence on what goes into Unicode?

One might have a right to do something and yet be wrong to do it.

Apple had every right to do what they did, but they were completely, totally and undeniably in the wrong to do it. Everyone associated with their action should be ashamed. Honestly, they should all resign: their behaviour demonstrates that they have no business being associated with this sort of work.
