I don't work for one of those apps, but have used one. I like it because it is a lower-friction way to buy and sell items. I can take pictures of items in my garage with my phone and quickly list them without going to my desktop and writing up a Craigslist post. It's the same old story of Uber/Tinder/etc making something easy to do on your phone.
The CPUs architecture is Harvard, like in its prececessor. However, that seem to apply just to RAM, separated in the memory map in areas for instructions and data. For the ROM access, flash ROM accessed via SPI, looks like can be accessed from both data and instruction buses, so in that regard would behave like, de facto, von Neumann (?)

Anyway, for running a real OS you can use PIC32 microcontrollers: are full MIPS32, including memory protection, and there are many cheap implementations with 512KB of RAM and 2MB of ROM (even more). You can run e.g. LiteBSD on Olimex EMZ64 PIC32 board [1].

There are general principles of responsibility of property owners for dangerous conditions on the property that apply even when the harm done by them is done to trespassers (and regardless of the purpose of the trespass.) IIRC, these are largely common law principles, and older than the US.

Of course, they don't relieve any criminal liability for crimes committed by the trespasser on the property, or any civil liability for torts committed on the property, but if you are already on the hook for those and can't try to claim that you weren't the intruder, there's no reason not to try to pursue any colorable claim you have.
How odd! My mac keyboard is a similar design, but has 'ctrl', and has no writing on the shift keys, caps lock and so on. The only unabbreviated word it has is 'delete'.

I believe passion/purpose/etc. is what allows us to forgo the limited resources of cognition/executive function. If we can convince ourselves that we actually want to do something, the fatigue of decision making becomes drastically reduced and we can do things we don't even want to.
Horses are a combustion engine that requires fuel, and a fairly high maintenance one, low power-to-weight ratio combustion engine, at that.

On the plus side, they run on renewable rather than fossil fuels.
I started a new job a few months ago. For the first month or so I was coming home really tired. I needed a half-hour or so nap before I could leave my house after I got home. I eventually worked out that I was stressing myself out.

So I started going into work with the express purpose of caring less. If I couldn't do a thing, I would give myself permission to relax, take a break, or ask for help.

The problem was instantly solved. Like, a total night and day difference in how I felt after work. I got better at getting things done, too.

Wait, you think zika has been "purposefully transplanted to push the <<hype machine>>"? What does that mean? Do you think there is an evil pharmaceutical concern out there that just infects people with a virus?
And by the way: The non-lethal symptoms that are "not proven" include serious birth defects which means infected mothers can not get healthy children for an unknown time period. I think it might therefore be seen as a serious health issue.

Hinkie had a great long-term plan. So effective, in fact, that the NBA is considering banning the tactics he used. In order for the 76er's to build a good team, he had the team perform intentionally poorly, stocked up on good draft picks, and waited out the storm.

Now the 76ers have some of the most promising rookies in the draft, lots of high value assets they can leverage to trade, and a bright future.
Erdos isn't a counter-example to anything. I mean I agree with you. Old people can do math. Look at Yitang Zheng. But Erdos is the exception to every rule ever.
There isn't really any need to check the board state is in checkmate anyway. It's a nice feature, but admitting checkmate is essentially the same as resigning, so just let the player carry on and give them an "I resign" button. They can't make a move, they have no choice but to click it. If they don't click it within a given timeframe that's the same as if they just walked away mid-game.

You'd probably need a second button that instigates the stalemate procedure if both players have pressed it because that's a much more complex problem.
Unfortunately, a language like QCL is a bit far away from being a practical language for quantum computers, in the sense that it will be difficult to use on upcoming machines. QCL is of course perfectly fit for experimentation. In my opinion, when you have a quantum computer that has resources akin to a classical computer with RAM measured in tens of bits with stable lifetimes measured in tens of microseconds, using a language that is similar to C gives you a somewhat wrong impression of what you're able to do. While not universally true with C programming, C often abstracts away the idea of finite memory/stack/etc. This is generally a good idea when resources are plentiful. But this very sharply contrasts with near-term quantum computers. Of course, just as with C, one could imagine compiling QCL into a simpler language, with the expectation that QCL programmers can intuit what the compiler will produce as "machine code".

As discussed in a recent paper [1][2], it's pragmatic to think of quantum computation in a coprocessor model. QCL takes a different approach: a high-level language that has a quantum datatype in the midst of the traditional classical datatypes along with their plethora of classical operations. I think that cordoning off the quantum computation as much as possible into a separate processing unit will make eventual adoption much easier. It also makes integration with existing languages much easier. QCL doesn't preclude this idea, but having a quantum coprocessor model implicitly manifest in QCL makes its implementation very difficult.

If you have a dog that you care about, you will want to go home from time to time to check up on the well-being of the dog. However, if the pet is in the office, then 10-hour, 12-hour or longer days stop being an issue. You can just walk over to your dog to check up on them whenever you want to.

I'm uncomfortable around (and supremely irritated by) human babies, but it's pretty common to let people bring their awful babies into an office. Those babies don't work here, and they have no business being here, but I guess human parents feel they have some legitimate reason to bring them to work. In a fair world, I don't see how dogs are any different.

Why the ticket is closed, when it isn't fixed?
It's very difficult to make a fully working browser/webview based editor on Android. Every keyboard interacts with applications differently, sometimes differing significantly between keyboard versions. I think a rewrite of the Android keyboard composition interface is needed. Most of the issues occur because the keyboard needs to keep track of the document state itself, and has race conditions/inconsistencies with the editable which maintains the "true" state.

All web based rich text editors on Android right now (Quill, Draft.js, Dropbox Paper, Quip, etc.) have similar problems. One easier to reproduce problem is to make a list and then exit the list by pressing enter twice. The next time you backspace a few characters, the composition will be messed up (cursor will jump around, characters get duplicated, etc.) There are other issues too--oftentimes the keyboard will lose focus, backspacing will paste in characters, jumping cursors, etc. These issues are keyboard/browser version specific too, most of them disappear if you use Samsung's keyboard instead of the Google one.

For Quora's Android editor I spent some time fixing all the issues I could find with the latest Google keyboard+WebView, and fixed the majority. I built the open source version of Google's keyboard (LatinIME), and a fork of Chromium (Crosswalk) for the WebView so that I could debug both, which worked pretty well. Then, Google updated the keyboard which introduced bugs, but didn't update the open source project, making it difficult to fix the new issues. There's also a separate rewrite in Chromium to use a separate thread for the IME, which will change behavior again.
This is my question too. A lot of users on my projects would like table support. It seems to be a feature severely lacking in a lot of .js editors.

Tuning the instrument: Spider webs as vibration transmission structures
This is part of why I'm so annoyed by the push for metrics at my service oriented company. Fortunately our company culture is such that my managers understand (and encourage) the need for frequent breaks and lightheartedness. If I had to just focus on the task at hand 100% of my day, I'd burn out within a few weeks.

The relaxed attitude also helps me get a sense for how urgent a particular day actually is. There's 150 tasks in the queue? Ehh, I probably shouldn't have YouTube going today, but I don't need to panic. Oh, now there's 1,500 tasks in the queue? Suddenly we had an emergency; sit up straight, focus, and figure out what needs to be done right now.

And you know? That's awesome. The 100% focus time can come and go in bursts; I've had to work entire days in focus time when we were having a really tough time about things, but then we get the problem solved, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, and we can all step back a bit and reorganize, and think about how better to handle that situation, and what we can do to avoid it. We aren't ever drowned out by a constantly busy schedule.

How to Do Trunk Based Development with Multiple Services
It still has a built in RTOS like the 8266 and no I don't think you can replace it. Not easily anyway, Espressif could probably do it but I don't think users really are able to.

Your stuff is running bare metal though - your code is linked directly into the same binary payload as the RTOS. One of the major selling points of the ESP32 though was that it is dual core, so that you can have one core dedicated to servicing your code and the other to dealing with keeping the radio stack alive and such.

> Soros' plan to federalize US police

The memos supposedly "supporting" this idea are not about an effort to "federalize US police", but efforts to implement different common federal standards than those currently applied through existing federal funding streams. To the extent the application of federal standards through access to federal funding streams is "federalization" of the recipient forces (I probably wouldn't describe it that way, but there's a perspective from which it makes some sense), that's already been done, the recommendation is to change the specific policies applied through the existing federalization.

Is "ego depletion" the only explanation for the experiment? How do the researchers rule out other explanations?

Maybe people choose the cake because they think, "Phew! I did something difficult! I deserve some cake!" And the people who only memorized two numbers think, "Well, I didn't do anything that warrants cake. I'll just take the salad."

I don't mean to propose this as an alternate explanation -- it just seems like there could be a million explanations for why people are more likely to choose the cake. (But maybe the researchers found ways to rule them out?)

Another random question -- have people replicated this experiment? Just curious.
Maybe an attempt at it.
The problem is that no matter how hard you try, a lot of people will end up with both your unfinished software and unrealistic expectations about it. Just look at how some gamers talk about bugs in early access or beta releases of games.

I imagine in Windows' case, some enterprising individuals who don't know better will end up installing these builds on various computers, and you end up with a large group of users on the wrong build who:

1. Expect better quality than the pre-release build provides.

2. Blame Microsoft for their pre-release build breaking.

Raymond Chen also mentions a third case where the pre-release build messes up other parts of the network... so now you've got:

3. Somebody else blaming this guy for something he genuinely thinks is Microsoft's fault.

And then if you put out a warning message, it's typically ignored because the software is 99% working until catastrophic failure. And then you still get blamed by unreasonable users who then spread the word about how much you suck but conveniently leave out the "leaked pre-release build" part of the story. (If you sense some bitterness, yeah, I've had a few of my own experiences with much less consequential software.)

It's a lose-lose situation for Microsoft. I don't envy anybody in that position, regardless of the quality of the final finished product.
Repl.it classroom: a platform for teaching programming
Are you doing anything with dynamic/data driven models? Or do you just focus on the same static ones as GA plus your static content models?

Also, how do you handle view through and other harder to measure branding touch points? Do you integrate with things like DCM?

My beef with most non-enterprise solutions (which I'd classify yours as based on pricing) is they are very limited, and typically don't do much of anything beyond what is available for free in GA.

Fwiw I'm a senior digital media guy who goes deep on attribution. It is what keeps me up at night as we work on display,video and paid social. The fact that we have a longer sales cycle due to a free trial further complicates things.

The book, or the review?

The book outlines a world where franchisers run everything, including jails. It's a cookie-cutter world; instances of each franchise are very standardized, and this is a plot point. The hero delivers pizza for the Mafia run pizza franchise, when he's not hacking code. The heroine is a 15-year old skateboarding courier girl with a really good skateboard.

There's a big virtual world, run partly by the Special Interest Group on Graphics of the Association for Computing Machinery. The VR world is a lot like Second Life but with VR and better graphics; you can buy real estate and build. The hero spends a lot of time in there, but that's not where the plot happens.

The Big Bad is a mega-preacher who has a visual data pattern which allows him to take over, or at least crash, human brains. This involves info from ancient gods and such. He's trying to take over the world.

It's a great exercise in literary world-building; the plot isn't much and there's little character development.

A movie was in development, but it didn't happen. It would be great to see it done it today, now that the graphics are good enough. Would definitely have been better than Tron 2.

Just to add, regarding (d), buckets will make themselves based on work, and people will make buckets for themselves based on who they are. So you want these buckets to match. Except, as a manager or an employer, you really have little control over either. If marketing needs to get done, that's a predetermined bucket. If someone loves marketing, that's their predestined bucket. But 1 to 1 matches are rare. If your business is growing, work buckets constantly change. And if you're a person, you constantly change. And then there are offices that are still trying to figure out the proper buckets, as well as the people who are still trying to figure out their passion. So it's a clusterfuck and there is always collateral damage. But you want to be working for someone who's at least trying to get it right, and usually if you can talk to that person, they'll appreciate your feedback. The key is for both sides to be flexible enough to get all the work done without making anyone too unhappy. Of course, businesses can't sacrifice work, so people end up sacrificing happiness, but for the most part, a business that fails to keep their employees happy is either a failing business or a bad business (and as an employee you should look elsewhere).
If you don't want to work around dogs, your employer should accommodate that. But it's also worth considering that it sounds like you have a phobia, and phobias are a curable condition. It would help you going forward if you weren't afraid of dogs. If getting bitten by a dog in the workplace was a significant risk, your employer's insurance would not allow them to put dogs in the workplace. A psychologist could help you with this issue, if you want help.
That spend is too tiny to produce anything useful and reach is probably the wrong metric for you at that stage. Focus on onsite conversions. Likes might be helpful directionally but don't pay the bills.
I very much doubt that Hardy regarded that as a "discovery". From a pure-mathematical point of view it's completely trivial.

(I do not say that to diminish its importance, which is an entirely separate matter. And something can be mathematically trivial but still an important discovery -- the cleverness may e.g. reside in noticing that it's a thing that might be true at all. Be all that as it may, I can't imagine Hardy, given his general dismissive attitude to applications of mathematics, seeing it as a discovery rather than a triviality that happened to be useful to biologists.)
I had a job where it was okay to bring your dog in - my dog was well-behaved, more quiet and lazy than anything. She'd just sit under my desk the whole day, just like she would if we were at home. She'd get up and wander around if I went to use the bathroom or to the kitchen, and being 130lbs she would startle people.

On the other hand, a co-worker would bring her dog in and the thing would non-stop run around the office, sliding into things, barking incessantly, knocking over and digging through trash cans...
Dislike of dogs is also partly cultural.
