If you're talking about the cast from an int literal to a char pointer, that's not what's happening. That's common C shorthand for incrementing a pointer to point to the next element.

For example, the char pointer increment compiles to:

4004fb:	48 83 c0 01	add $0x1,%rax

While an int pointer increment compiles to:

40050c:	48 83 c0 04	add $0x4,%rax

Because on my particular platform, an int is 4 bytes and a char is 1 byte and the memory is byte addressable.
> There are already power cables between trucks and trailers [1].

There are power cables but they're used to power the trailer from the tractor rather than the other way around, they're mostly controlling trailer devices (lamps, brakes, etc…) and the general power ones are small potatoes to power cooling (refrigerated trailers) or lifts, not full-blown truck engines.

> Thing is to just make a thicker one.

Well yeah as I noted with that "solution" you need much heavier coupling than the standard ones (and reversed power), so you get to throw all existing tractors and trailers in the trash, rather than just replacing the tractors and keeping all existing trailers.
Have you tried making extra payments to get your principal up from 10% to 20% sooner? That's the ideal situation for someone with more disposable income but less in savings (or doesn't want to tie up more saving in equity). The main thing to note is that you need to get up to 20% as quick as possible. That's because 20% is based on the current appraisal value of the property, not the purchase price. With Bay Area and other real estate markets appreciating so much, it's a ticking time bomb to get out of PMI.

Would you feel the same about encrypted data stored in Dropbox? IMHO it is better because you have more control and storage is decoupled from UI.

Anyway, I gave up on both 1Password and LastPass. I've been a 1Password user for about 2 years before I switched to KeePass.

To be more specific, for the desktop (OS X, Linux, Windows) I use: https://keeweb.info/

For Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2androi...

And for iOS, though be warned this one is subpar: http://minikeepass.github.io/

All 3 apps are open-source. This is important because open-source will not die for as long as there is demand and more importantly, you own it.

No, I'm NOT against proprietary software, as I said, I gladly paid a premium for 1Password. However their Windows client is basically unmaintained, their new "modern Windows" app is still alpha and doesn't work with Wine and of course, they have no Linux support. Most aggravating is that they are clearly switching to a subscription model, with all of their development effort going towards it lately. No more Everywhere interface for OpVault, no new sync options other than Dropbox and iCloud, etc. In other words I'm tired of bait and switch models and one is in progress here.

DISCLAIMER - I work for GM, any opinions are my own.

Agreed, it's great that companies have electric and hybrid cars, but I want to see BEV/hybrid sports cars (besides the $150k BMW i8) and BEV/hybrid trucks.

GM is sponsoring the EcoCar 3 [1] competition, which uses a Camaro for the base vehicle - a hybrid Camaro, with real performance and efficiency, would be the best of both worlds.

GM previously produced 300V hybrid trucks[2], but apparently they didn't sell very well.

There are tips here for how to get a mailing address, etc:

You aren't yet literally on the street. I suggest you not tell people you are homeless. Get a mailing address and dirt cheap phone and apply for work.

Get better at leaving out the personal details. They are pertinent to you. They are mostly not anything a potential employer wants to hear.

Best.
I may have what you're looking for: I've been working on exactly this problem, because I grew tired of the headaches from maintaining a "snowflake server" (http://martinfowler.com/bliki/SnowflakeServer.html), which I configured once in the past and would be very difficult to reproduce.

Here's a super-simple Docker host stack I put together that you can install on a cloud machine fairly easily. It runs Docker containers, does automatic backups, and has monitoring and alerting built-in. I've run around 5 webapps, split between 10 containers, on this infrastructure for about 6 months with significantly fewer headaches. Monitoring alerts go straight into a personal Slack channel.

The implementation is deliberately low-level -- you'll be running bare docker commands -- because the goal is to have a trivial infrastructure and to learn Docker in the process. There's no reliance on the "magic" in big wrappers like Kubernetes. Because there's nothing fancy in here, it's simple to understand and use.

My write-up is rough around the edges right now, but eventually this will turn into a simple blog post with an Ansible playbook attached. Here's a rough draft of how to set it up manually: https://github.com/maximz/docker-host/blob/master/public_doc...

There's an nginx reverse proxy fronting the Docker containers. You can do a zero-downtime deploy pretty easily. Happy to answer any questions if they arise.
To me there is an unquestioned premise to the article: why should the state [as in "government"] conduct elections on behalf of political parties. Enrolling voters as Democrat or Republican or whatever and then restricting the voter's access to ballot items based upon that enrollment [or non-enrollment] does not seem to be the business of the government.

A political party is free to change the rules for nominating candidates however and whenever it chooses. It is free to nullify the decision of those voting in a particular primary. A political party is free to nominate whomever it chooses [and almost certainly multiple candidates for the same office it wishes should it choose].

Ultimately the party, not a judge, chooses whose vote matters and whose doesn't. Placing the imprimatur of the state upon a political party's process doesn't change that or make the process of candidate nomination little 'd' democratic. The people within a political party charged with making the rules for candidate selection are not elected or selected little 'd' democratically. The process of nominating candidates is not little 'd' democratic in any meaningful sense.
Was that over twitter? 140 characters is very restrictive.
"Those claims strike me as an attempt to deflect the issue by the increasingly embattled affected candidate."

You're not the only one; attacking the messenger rather than refuting the message seems to be a common tactic among career politicians.
So Twitter's verification is more about access to this socially elitist feed? That may be a feature, but I think the primary function is to avoid people impersonating well-known public figures on the platform.

Removing Milo's check out of politically-driven spite definitely undermines the validity of the entire verification system.
What's the point of this exactly? Why would someone chose this over V8?

God, I wish that was true. I cannot keep screws in my Razer Blade Stealth at all, not for lack of trying.

Only three of the eight screws remain on my back plate: The two in the back by the hinge vent and the left-hand middle screw. Possibly these areas suffers less thermal stress? Who knows.

Also: Good luck finding replacements when one pops off and you lose it.
They could have gotten the conversation right when they introduced the quote system (put a link to the tweet you are responding to and the client/site will embed the tweet body inside yours), but instead managed to break the existing system they had where a client could include a tweet id number to indicate what tweet someone was replying to when using @username.

End result is that rather than have the potential to build a conversation chain, readers have to manually drill the "tree".

Never mind that they never implemented support for merged SMS (introduced all the way back in the 90s!), so you are constantly stuck at 140 characters.

All in all it is a quintessential US company with the classic US mobile network blinders firmly fitted.

It means that the developers marked it as Linux-compatible on Steam.

I don't know, if Valve requires anything for that, but it's specifically not the percentage of titles which you can get to work through any combination of black magic. It's the percentage of titles where the developers offer you support, if it doesn't work on your system.

And I know that some of those games do use WINE internally for the port, but it's properly pre-configured in a wrapper and should work just as well as a native Linux-game. So, you don't need WINE installed separately on your system for those.

> Is there some flag to nuke that feature from eg Firefox?

Yes. In Firefox, the "network.proxy.type" preference is an integer that can take on the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with the following meanings:

0,3: no proxy (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115720 for the history on why 3 is the same as 0)

1: proxy manually configured in Firefox preferences, no PAC file.

2: Use the PAC file found at the URL given by the value of the "network.proxy.autoconfig_url" preference.

4: Use WPAD to get the PAC file.

5: Do whatever the OS says to do in terms of proxy settings (including what PAC file to use, if any).

The default value is 5. I believe setting the preference to 0 will ensure that you always use a direct, not proxied, connection to the target site, and in particular that no PAC file is used.

Edit: Ah, just noticed that kuschku points to UI for all this stuff below too.
I've had the XPS 13 for a year and can't agree more. There is no other laptop out there other than maybe the MacBook that has its size, weight, and power profile. You won't be disappointed.
This is interesting enough, I suppose, but I think they should have included some kind of interesting benchmark where Chakra outperformed V8 or something for Node.

You agree with your parent comment. Making A conditional on B means B is required (though, depending on exact semantics, not necessarily sufficient) for A. A requires at least B.

So: B would be obligatory, given A.
I think overall this is decently convincing, the problem I have with it though is the Uber example. Uber is bleeding money and clearly subsidizing rides. If people were paying the true cost of what drivers are paid plus some reasonable mark up, I have serious doubts it'd be as popular as it is. And case in point, I don't use Uber in NYC. Friends and colleagues don't either. It's usually easier and cheaper to get a cab. So... if Uber becomes more expensive than it is now, let alone more than a cab, I think broadly speaking most people will vote for the less expensive option rather than the service with the shiny app.
All JS engines make different tradeoffs, so they are better at some things compared to other engines.

For example, Chakra has had full asm.js optimization support for a long time now, while v8 still doesn't (but it's coming).

We now have 4 high-quality JS engines that are cross-platform and open source (v8, SpiderMonkey, JavaScriptCore, and now Chakra). This is great!
Right-wing authoritarian populism of the kind Trump represents is pretty far from neoconservatism (both are right-of-center and, in the US, uneasily fall under the umbrella of the same major political party, but they are not the same, or even particularly all that similar.)

Well, I suppose that's a fair point. I wasn't considering situations that weren't lawbreaking. I'll clarify my position: acusing someone of lawbreaking should not be permissible if you won't back yourself up in court. There's a big difference between being fired because you weren't on time, and being fired because you felt up a coworker.

In either case, however, I don't think Tor's actions would be very professional. How often do you see a company blog about why they fired someone?
When MS announced a node.js version backed by Chakra instead of V8, some of the comments (including one from me) addressed some of the reasons that having multiple JS engines is a good thing.

I'm curious how to go from obtaining X info/access to an SSH session.
It also means those meanings are completely worthless to bring into this discussion as they can't be evaluated - your comment is worded as if it's personal stuff you don't want to get in to.
Is there a feature comparrison or reasoning you may have about why 1password may be better than Keepass? I have been using Keepass as I use Linux, Windows, and Phone for accessing my passwords.

To everyone thinking we already have V8 - competition is necessary for the ecosystem not to go stale. For it to thrive, we need competition.

Just look at JavaScript. Dozens of libraries that do the same thing, a vibrant ecosystem as a result.

> When [are blue chip stocks] not liquid?

Liquidity is a surface over the time in which a transaction must occur, transaction size and price. If you have a large amount to sell or buy (relative to the market), want it sold or purchased quickly (relative to the market) and/or don't want to eat more than an X% discount (if selling) or premium (if buying) (relative to the market), you will find the securities illiquid, i.e. not able to be turned into cash (or purchased) within your size/price/time parameters.

For a liquidator, time is usually same day or a few days. Size is fixed to the balance of the loan. That leaves price. In a turbulent market, the liquidator may end up selling your securities for pennies on the dollar - your collateral may insufficiently cover your balance. That leads to the lender eating a loss or the borrower coughing up cash. $100 of stock may cover less than $100 of balance; $100 of cash will always cover $100.

Retail margin lending is capped at 2:1, so a 50% discount would wipe out your collateral, but institutions and mortgages can go 5:1 and beyond, meaning smaller drops become dangerous faster. When everyone is rushing for the doors simultaneously, these price drops can be precipitous, if short-lived.
The plebiscite is an outdated demand. A lot of Hindus native to the region were displaced by the insurgency in the 1990s. And the Kashmir Valley which is apparently pro-Pakistan is a smaller region in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. A large part of the State is Buddhist and Hindu.
That's why I proposed a cutoff at some rate. The middle class should be subsidized not some millionaires who have ten homes.
Are you making enough to pay your rent if you have to stay home or quit your job completely if you burnout? I understand the problem, I really do, but no one is going to reward you for working yourself into the ground.

If you have 60 hours a week, plus 4 hours of transport everyday, you have 16 work day. I feel bad for you, I really do, because those kinds of hours makes people sink or kills them. Some people handle it better than other of cause, but you can't have much of a life with those kinds of hours.

I'm not in anyway qualified to advise people like you. Personally though, I'd quit my job and move. But I'm in a welfare state, there's someone that will look after me if I'm unemployed, I won't end up without a roof over my head.

I really hope you'll be okay. No one should work themself to exhaustion, and waste their life like that.

Yes, I'm happy that there has been an advance for ALS, but if you take a step back, it does appear that there may be a misattribution of limited research dollars.
And some of those servers on the public internet are only nominally public. Their names might be in the DNS database, but they're really an "extranet," that can only be used by authenticated users.

You keep repeating that, but it simply isn't true. The oceans have not been straining in the pre-industrial era in the slightest.

This is a typical anecdote that falls flat in the face of data. Look at global forestation rates in the pre-industrial era and today.

No one owes any explanation to a person who denies facts when presented with them. You made claims without evidence, therefore your claims can be dismissed without evidence.
I'd be cautious of this report. This is an American politics advocacy organization. Not to say that this report is incorrect per se, it may be 100% right. But it also may be anything else, ranging from wildly exaggerated to outright wrong. It's very difficult to find sober, factual information in the national American political scene.

I looked up one of the referenced incidents -- the botched poll in Arizona -- and based on other articles (see: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/31/ar...) it's hard to tell from a bird's eye perspective whether even that was "rigged".. or whether it was mere "incompetence".

I know FiveThirtyEight, referenced several times in the paper, (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-system-isnt-rigged-a...) lean against the "rigged" argument, which is where I stand from a big picture perspective. Political shenanigans always happen, but regardless of this, demographics explain the result of the Democratic primary more than anything else. (That being said, in my opinion, the same demographics should frankly tell the Democratic Party to handle the Sanders supporters much better than they have been so far.)
You may want to read Google's recently released SRE book, watch the many conferences(monitorama, @scale, and many more) videos on YouTube and/or hunt down slides, check various engineering blogs (e.g Twitter posts about observability, Uber posts about their Atlas outliers detection system etc) and talk to people who are already dealing with those kind of problems.

That said, I think what's more important is to log everything ( use Kafka ), even if you don't know in advance how to make use of them. You may need them later. And you need to break this down into 3 different problems. Data exploration, data visualization, and alerts. And you probably shouldn't or won't be able to find one product that will help you address all those needs - or maybe will be too expensive. You should instead use multiple and all should consume from your events feed/stream. If you want to do it yourself, and you don't have the hardware resources to handle lots of data points, then use two differ sets of services. One that will retain say upto 24 hours worth of data so that you will get predictable, consistently fast query, processing and visualization time and another that may hold data for a longer period. Chances are you will want to understand issues and that happened recently so optimize for that. Good luck :)
So write your own tool. There are loads you can fork.

Not buying this excuse.
Batteries are (in theory) optional and irrelevant for solar planes. The 747 uses about 80MW of power on takeoff, and maybe half that for cruising. The 747 has 525 m^2 of wing surface area. The sun blankets the earth with 1kW per square meter.

Solar cell efficiency is the limiting factor, if you are willing to fly only at day. No batteries needed. And it will never be enough with current designs, since 500kW is well under 40MW.

Of course a solar plane can cruise much higher since it doesn't need oxygen for the motors. And it gets more range traveling westward. At a fast enough speed (tantalizing "easy" mach 1.4) a plane on the equator could cruise under high noon forever. Wing size tends to go down with speed, so I doubt that design will ever be possible.
And I disagree right back at you :)

All you're doing is shifting complexity around. Don't want one big piece of complex software? Fine. Break it up - now you have a bunch of simple pieces of software that all need to work together in a complex manner. You still need to plan for how all that works, and that often requires complex requirements.

It's not "certainly less complex". The total complexity of the system is still the same.
It's an engine -- it shouldn't bring much that is different.

Having hundreds of frameworks, platforms, etc isn't great, but having at least one alternate is awesome. Minimally it allows for a larger collection of minds to deal with hard performance problems, to each take different approaches, and to potentially standardize on a solution after sufficient time to prove out solutions.
