From what I can tell, cats are just as simple-minded as dogs, but the main difference is that they are barely domesticated. So yeah, I'll take the creature that appears to love me over the creature that couldn't care less about me. I especially appreciate how present dogs are.. they don't seem to care about anything that's going on other than what's happening right now, and that's something I need more of in my life. And man, I love watching the videos of dogs being reunited with their owners after not seeing them for months.

Plus there are smart breeds of dogs if you're into that sort of thing.
“there were a lot of Buk systems there” the exact machine has been identified and tracked.

“Russia amassed a [potentially invasion] force of 40K with all the hardware, tanks, etc.” Some of those forces have actually invaded Ukraine.
For example, here’s international correspondents directly witnessed one small episode of the invasion: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/110...

“too much for rebels to handle” there’re little to no rebels. But there’re lots of Russian military personnel.

“Russia has moved onto the second version more than a decade before” — true, they have a newer version developed. They did not however scrapped the older ones. Here you’ll find multiple recent photos of the older Buk-M1 complex with older 9M38-series missiles still on active service in Russian military forces: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2015/06/03/evi...

“regiment A-1402 in Donetsk” there was only one Buk there, and it was broken beyond repair.

“why would Russia dig up old missiles” — no need to dig up anything, the older missiles are on active service.

“when rebels got a bunch of that hardware themselves?” In this war, Russians frequently use this tactic to hide their invasion. They capture (or claim to capture) one instance of military hardware from Ukraine, smuggle extra copies of the equipment to Ukraine, and claim “rebels” are using the hardware they captured. They already played that trick earlier with e.g. 2S9 Nona mortar.
My own observation is that the bets hardly ever pay off. Microsoft/Nokia is a great example but there are plenty of others. Maybe it's just confirmation bias, but I have trouble thinking of one counter example.
Chinese media is a scam. This is probably also a scam but the Chinese media is only reporting it as such because someone refused to pay them off.

The problem you have is with Verizon and their pathetically delayed updates. They do it to tease their impatient customers into new phones with fresh contracts. Just switch to Cyanogen and get your Nougaty goodness today without a middleman to screw you over.

And stop buying subsidized carrier phones in the first place. They need to disappear into the annals of history like landline phones owned by AT&T.
Hunter Medical Research Institute| Newcastle, NSW, Australia| 12 month Contract | Front End Developer & Full-Stack Developer | ONSITE

HMRI Data & Evaluation Services are looking for people to fill two new roles.

You'll be working with an established team on an exciting new ground-breaking project. But honestly, look beyond the forgettable wording and realise that you'll be working with cutting-edge technology on a modern system to deliver real value to Medical Researchers.

For the right applicant we will consider a Australian timezone remote worker.

So what, a book is being translated faster. What's the big deal? What's the real impact? Do you think JK Rowling wrote the last Harry Potter books thinking about the translations and that it impacted her writing? Do you think it made her rewrite some sentences because they would be hard to translate?

I have a hard time believing that. I have a hard time finding the point of the article anyway, so... They're trying too hard.

By the way, the bus won't work because it is higher than cars only, no trucks, no regular buses etc. I think modifying current infrastructure to pass only cars under specified height (and raising height for this over-bus) will be more expensive than the bus itself. Easier to just build a second level road.

Despite JSON's shortcomings, the developer community found it on the whole more pleasant to work with.

It's the same argument that Lisp users make. The two are more expressive, more capable, more safe. It's also very dense and intimidating.

You can come up with all the justifications you'd like. It won't win the hearts of developers.
Not OP but a fellow fastmail user.

Now a days there aren't actually good free providers. Google charges a yearly fee if you want to use a custom domain.

This wasn't true when I originally switched to fastmail. Back then google still had a free personal google apps account which supported custom domains. I pay fastmail because I know what the deal is. I pay them $50 a year and they host my email with my domains. There is no question about what trade we are making. In addition I'm getting to pay a very small amount and support fellow developers building a good product.

The old saying is that with google you are the product. Your information is being parsed, stored, tracked, and used to advertise to you. I'm happy to pay a bit of money and not be the product. I don't do this everywhere but there are more then a few places it is true. I also despise ads and will pay money to opt out of them almost everywhere. YoutubeRed, iOS games, etc.
"The Americans, he told Moscow, were not in any way interested in disarmament. Rather, they were training their armed forces to integrate nuclear weapons into their military doctrine."

If you look at the relative size of the two armies and (especially) the size of the tank corps, you'll understand why that was.

The United States wasn't about to give up nukes if it meant its interests in Europe would be at the mercy of a massive Soviet tank invasion.

This is a really nice blog post; I hope we keep seeing more posts like this coming from Facebook.

I wonder why we haven't seen something similar from Google. Surely they have access to as much or more data? Perhaps Google does publish similar blog posts, and I'm just not aware of where to look for them?

In any case, the results presented definitely didn't match my expectations. Although upon giving it a bit of thought, I can see how introverted cat people are more likely to have classic "nerdy" interests like scifi, fantasy, anime, etc.

It's not part of the Python grammar as specified in the file called Grammar in the canonical implementation of the language (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Grammar/Gramma...). Of course it's part of the grammar in the larger sense. I don't think that that distinction is important when trying to convince someone with no theoretical background to learn these topics, which is what the video in question is trying to do.
This is a good article and brings up some interesting points. On the flip-side finding partners who are equally capable and trustworthy is no small task. As a technologists and entrepreneur, I often find myself having a difficult time evaluating the true value a person would bring. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do in scenarios where partners each have a required unique skill set but the usage of each skill set is not proportional?

Look back 50 years and you'd have been saying "stocks are expensive" every few years, missing out on massive returns. Invest for the long term and don't worry about it. Today's expensive is tomorrow's cheap.
Most [all?] cultures agree. "Dog" is an insult across many languages, which indicates it's lower status. Never heard of "cat" being a standalone insult.
No, unfortunately not. We had to do it all black box as it was on sale or return, so couldn't inspect the firmware to find vulns.

In DVB (and IPTV systems that use MPEG TS) Teletext is sent in its own pid, along with the audio and video pids of the program being watched ( for the details you can check ETSI 300 472).

vlc btw contains a decoder for teletext pages, you can tune in to a dvb stream and look at them.

Trivia: in some countries (for instance in Switzerland) subtitles for movies are sent sometimes as semitransparent teletext pages (in CH it is on page 777) even if DVB supports natively subtitles.
Yeah, that scheme syntax looks much simpler. And it is far more regular than Nix's. Of course, scheme is regular enough that the output of the readtables match this:

Scheme ::= <Expr>*
Expr ::= <Atom>
| (<Expr>*)
Atom ::= <String>
| <Symbol>
| <Number>

And IIRC, that's close to what r5rs requires, although without the '`, syntactic sugar, which a readtable would handle in schemes that have them, and would be added to the above for schemes that don't. I may be wrong, though.

The semantics are also simple:

A function's arguments are evaluated, bound to arguments and passed to it. A special form or macro have their arguments passed to them unevaled. In the case of a macro, the output of the macro is evaled instead. Scope is lexical.

There's about 95% of the semantics right there. The only things I left out, to my knowledge, are dynamic variables, which weren't standardized until recently.

The entire thing may be larger than Nix (I don't think it is), but more regular? I doubt it.
While you didn't say so explicitly, you sound disparaging of this initiative in favour of Scratch being better in every way.

Scratch is great and noble and better in every way as an isolated programming learning tool, but it's worth noting the reach and marketability of Pocky to get kids interested in the whole scene.

You (parents, kids, non-CS-oriented teachers and mentors) aren't going to find and use Scratch without the prime directive of "I want a kid-friendly programming learning tool".

But now you can get the kids Pocky, which you may have gotten anyway since no kid is going to complain about that, and they can learn something meaningful and cool with a character that has context they know and appreciate, unlike scratch's characters that exist in their bubble. Actually being able to impact a much larger audience even with a less ideal experience, is net worth much more than a stellar tool that cannot break past a high activation barrier and caters to a very tiny audience. Like Settlers of Catan for introducing people to board games outside Monopoly, and IFLS (I Fucking Love Science) for getting people interested in space, biology, etc. These seem like perverted contractions of beautiful things, but at the end of the day they get more people interested and that's a good thing.

I for one remember countless mornings reading and learning the backs of the cereal boxes as I had breakfast getting ready for school, and those mornings would have been so much more productive building Pocky programs, but there was no way I was going to fire up Scratch and create programs there.

>> The part I've found most useful has been Wolfram|Alpha; it's really nice to be able to say "August 2, 2016 - September 4, 2017" and get back the number of days, weeks, and hours between those two times.

In Python:

import datetime # standard module
timedelta = datetime.datetime(2016, 8, 2) - datetime.datetime(2017, 9, 4)
timedelta.days
> -398
timedelta.days / 7
> -57
timedelta.days / 7.
> -56.857142857142854
timedelta.total_seconds() / 3600.
> -9552.0

In particular, that you can pretty much ask anything to Wolfram|Alpha, and that it has to figure out exactly what you're asking (and I admit most of the time, it does it), always seemed more like a marketting ploy than a real feature to me. I can't go as far as saying that I dislike it, but the few times I tried to use it, it didn't get what I was trying to "ask" and I just gave up.

--> I also admit it might be me that I just don't get the tool.
For what it is worth the project does provide regular binary updates for both the base system and ports for -current (snapshots). If I were to guess, I would guess that one of the reasons that the project does not provide binary updates for -stable is because they are busy providing binary builds for -current. Since all the devs run -current, you can see which one they choose to invest their limited resources in.

Following current is pretty simple if you're happy to track snapshots, which are updated regularly (usually every week). If you're worried about stability, remember that -current turns into -stable twice a year, so current is pretty stable, and any issues that do crop up get fixed very quickly, because they impact the developers.

Cathedrals are beautiful. They represent the vision of one person or a very small group made real by the hard work of hundreds or thousands of skilled and semi-skilled workers over dozens of years.

Cathedrals are not, generally speaking, profitable. They represent the expenditure of lots of capital over a long period of time.

Bazaars don't cost much to start. You can start quite small and have a functioning system that does useful things for people. They can grow quite large, and when they grow too large it becomes difficult to find exactly what you want without a really good map. But you can probably quickly find a bunch of things that are more or less close to what you want.

Cathedrals are not easy or cheap to repair, but the investment is so large that people usually prefer to repair them. A bazaar that doesn't work out makes some local people sad, but they will go to another bazaar that is a little less convenient for them, and perhaps do better there.

It's nice to have some cathedrals, because they feed the soul. But you need to eat every day, so there will always be bazaars, and if you need to make a choice, the bazaar is going to win unless you have a lot of resources stored up to fall back on.

None of this follows a linear line of thought. Dogs definitely can can show you "affection without any obvious reason." Cats can also be "bought" with food bribes just as easy as dogs. It could be argued that the whole "random affection" play applies to both dogs and cats and was brought about in an evolutionary fashion, in that being affectionate towards humans grants you a far higher chance of obtaining food and shelter. Would you consider that "fake"?

I find it very weird that you're trying to prescribe a "fake" vs "real" scheme when dealing with pet's emotions without offering a real, testable theory to how we should organize our pet's "true" motivations. Just lots of assumptions, really.
That probably comes from the 'English Understatement' school of thought.

> I guess the question is, if we pretend the technology, on it's own merit, was attempted within say, the US, would it work out?

Where in the US? Most cities have power/phone/cable wires crossing the street somewhat randomly. There are also bridges that this won't get under. There are also stoplight and signs that hang over the roadway.

You can probably find a newish quiet residential neighborhood in the suburbs without all that in the way. However traffic is generally not a concern in those places. Thus I'm going to say even if technically it works perfectly, and turns out to be a great idea with no other concerns it will be many years before cities redesign themselves enough to make it work.

I can see a city like Las Vagas putting something like this on the strip as a publicity stunt. It would only go a couple miles, but it is feasible to rebuild a few miles of street to make it work. Assuming the above, it is feasible. You time the cross streets signals so that there is no cross traffic. Cars can drive under it no problem. There needs to be something to ensure cars don't turn into a tire, but seems solvable. If we just assuming running one back and forth down the street it is easy. If you want to run more than one you need to handle turn around with no traffic - this thing will need more room to turn, but since it is a dedicated line you can close a low traffic intersection for that (or since it is on rails just go up and over - maybe around a block... lots of options)

Of course once you look at the above you say "it can be done, but I think there are more conventional alternatives that make more sense." I think the for anything where this makes sense a monorail is better: known technology, and since it isn't at ground level there is no safety issues.
My gut reaction to the book and movie comparisons is that people who share cat photos tend to be liberal and people who share dog photos tend to be conservative (for the US definition of liberal and conservative). Maybe I'm off base.

Also, note that the comparison is about people who share cat or dog photos and their Facebook friends -- not about cat or dog people and their actual friends. I'm a dog person and many of my friends are cat people, but I wouldn't be interested in seeing their cat photos on Facebook. Nor would I be posting dog photos anywhere...
It seems to me that the cited motd(5) manpage cleanly states that breaking the /etc/motd symlink is what you should do if you want to manage it's contents yourself.
I think at least some dogs are capable of genuine "altruistic" relationships too. My neighbour's dog for instance always get super excited when he sees me, jumps on me and everything, but I almost never feed him or look after him, I just play with him sometimes; we have more of a friendship dynamic than a master-slave relationship.
