As mentioned the other day, it is this kind of efforts why I consider Microsoft and to certain extent Apple, the ones driving for innovation in safety on mainstream OS stacks.

Maybe Google as well due to their reluctance to improve NDK beyond being a way to implement Java native methods and port code into Android.
government owned bank, if it works the same over there as in the US (fannie mae/mac here come to mind) I doubt there is much that can be done but use taxpayer money to make people whole again.

the options versus private entities are much more varied compared to what can be done to a government institution. Sovereign immunity is a means that even horribly negative effects of policy or work can be shielded from restitution. Does that exist in European countries too?

In Münster it's 40% (number of trips). About two bicycles per citizen. 7% don't own a bicycle, 45% own two or more. Also highest rate of bicycle theft (10 per day).

I'm a little bit confused as to what this site actually is.

Is nommu a fork of the linux kernel like uclinux? If so, where is the source? Or is it just a guide for programming on MMU-less systems (e.g. uclinux).

I'm planning a MC68020 SBC project. My current goal is to get uclinux running, but I'd be interested to see what else I can run on it.
Because the bulk of the cost in building a building is in getting the land and getting the structure up. The nice finishes that make an apartment "luxury" - granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors - these are insignificant compared to the cost of the building as a whole, but have a larger impact on how much you can rent the apartment for.

So making a building that's not luxury is essentially leaving money on the table. It's a minor investment that produces a large return.

Of course, since everyone is doing it, the market for luxury apartments gets saturated while the more affordable market is underserved.

I think the following ingredients are minimally necessary for normal day-to-day stuff:

1. For events in the past, a timestamp

2. For events in the future, a date/time pair with precision at least milliseconds and a timezone.

3. An ISO 8601 serialization/deserialization method

4. A duration type, which denotes a number of 'hours/minutes/seconds/days/weeks'.

5. A partial representation of date, to denote repeating events or events which last a whole day. The partial representation should optionally include a timezone. This allows me to say: '5th of May', or '22nd of November 1980, in CEST'.

For calculations of dates and times, it is very useful to have a notion of time intervals, durations of time and weekdays.
I've recently been binging Sopranos. Last night I watched the season two episode in which an old friend of Tony's who owned a sporting goods store borrowed money from Tony.

When the shop owner couldn't pay back the principle, Tony applied massive interest rates and "fines", and when the guy couldn't pay those, took over his business, using it to order stock that the business couldn't pay for — eventually forcing it into bankruptcy.

As Tony is fond of saying, there's really not much difference between the mob loan sharks and "legitimate" banks, except that the banks have the law on their side so there's less need for knee-cappings and the like.
Does anyone here know any good debugger for Julia?

That being said, Julia is really fun language to learn if you know Python and Matlab already. Although in the beginning, I kept on forgetting whether it is following Matlab-like syntax or Python-like syntax for certain features.

One of the biggest problems that I had with Julia (which is one of the main reason I stopped using it) was the flexibility of the . notation. I use this feature in Python and Matlab a lot and I had some serious trouble trying to make it work or finding examples on how to use it. Though I think this problem will be fixed as the community grows.
I've always opened the door this way. I want to know what's happening and it makes sense to open it that way. Kind of looking both ways before crossing, it'd be strange to give it a name like "The British Method" since you don't imagine anyone mentally undiminished not doing it.
I live in a tiny apartment and I can't recommend it for anyone. I desperately need some space for living and storage. At least I have my own front door so I can step outside if I need to stretch my legs.

I find it strange that small houses are being promoted to somehow solve the housing shortages in cities while they're really space inefficient. I guess renovating "maid's apartments" and attics is somewhat reasonable, given that these are in coveted areas and targetted at young people with a vivid social life in the city.

Everything points at urbanization being a ongoing trend, but affordable housing seems to be a problem worldwide.

I'd gladly move out of the city to have some space for myself but unfortunately the jobs tend to be in cities and remote work is still relatively rare.

I have two suggestions, one useful and one less useful:

1) Given two events that happened in two different locations, one happened before the other or they happened at the same time [1]

2) All the devices comprising your system will agree on what offset each timezone is (alternatively: will have the same version of the tzdb)

Number 2 is not a theoretical problem: if you have users in a country where the timezone can change at short notice (e.g. Turkey), how do you handle the fact that across all the different Android versions their phones will have different opinions on what the time is and what timezone they are in?

IMHO checking the return value is only useful if you can actually do something about it.

For example, you might want to gracefully write a database to disk before terminating the program.

It's definitely bad practice, but if you run out of memory during the initialisation of a program, quitting with a segfault is a fairly reasonable error. Of course, catching the error and printing something meaningful would be much better, but if you're in a rush to get something to work for a personal project it's not much of an issue.

The story, though I know only bits and pieces, is fairly interesting. In particular, Kentucky Fried Chicken (it wasn't delettered to "KFC" until 1991), like McDonald's and Burger King, capitalised hugely on the building of the Interstate Highway System (begun in 1958), and a sudden interest in familiar food whilst on the road, an experience far more Americans began sharing in the 1960s and 1970s.

To that extent, his company and legacy are a very fascinating study of complementary developments and capabilities. And sinking money into the Colonel in the early 1950s would have given extremely strong returns.
Good list, sadly many (most?) popular languages have difficulties fulfilling it, sometimes even if you include third-party libraries...
It's a slightly different situation to Fannie May, in that RBS was a privately-owned business, and only became government-owned because it ran into so many problems. It's not a 'government institution' as the Bank of England is - the government just took control to stop it collapsing.
To me the whole experiment suggests otherwise:

it shows that naturally occurring images are organized by having similar rows and columns close to each other, which is - by default - good for most compression algorithms that prefer regularities/similarities to be as local as possible.

edit: but it can be good for other cases, where there are no good-enough default orders. For example "customer - product bought" matrix (binary matrix, customer rows, product columns: X customer bought Y product = 1, otherwise =0 ).

Here the order of rows/columns are not predefined, and ordering by similar customers and products the compression of the matrix could be improved. Finding these similarities also can be a good starting point for some recommendation/collaborative filtering engine.

The Power of Open Source Is Customer Freedom
And in fact, they had parts of RBS as clients both before and after.

Clifford Chance is not just any large lawfirm - they're persistently amongst the top ten lawfirms in the world by revenue, and one of the firms making up the UK "magic circle" lawfirms (at least 3 of the others of which are also amongst the top ten in the world).

They'd bend over backwards for a bank the size of RBS, as they are a big enough behemoth that their revenue would slide very quickly if they showed any kind of spine when it came to standing up to customers that size - it's not like they could easily replace lost revenue from a client like RBS from smaller clients.

It's a problem with companies like that (both RBS and Clifford Chance) - RBS isn't just too big to fail for the UK, it's too big for a lawfirm as bloated as Clifford Chance to afford to risk their relationship with.

EDIT: In fact, not only is RBS a Clifford Chance client, but specifically the property arm of RBS (West Register) that is one of th divisions implicated in this, has used Clifford Chance. As you can see from Clifford Chance's own website [1] [2].

There are still CPUs without MMU where one would like to run Linux (e.g. J-core or other FPGA soft cores).

One good reason for using Linux instead of any of the RTOS is better networking support. I've used VxWorks, RTEMS, Nucleus, FreeRTOS, eCos, etc and their networking stacks are all pretty slow and crappy.

But nobody uses "has never said anything regrettable" as the litmus test for Presidency.

On the other hand "audio searches reveal the presidential candidate is telling a massive lie about always having expressed profoundly opposition to Controversial Thing X, and actually repeatedly ridiculed the cause in not well-reported meetings prior to becoming the candidate" could and should be an electoral issue.
In nl we had the 'NMB' (since merged with the postbank to become ING), which was the abbreviation of 'Nederlandse Middenstands Bank' (Dutch Bank for small and medium Businesses).

With the general public they were known as the 'Nederlandse Meeneem Bank' (Dutch takeaway bank) because one of their strategies was to suddenly ask for the whole principal back in one go (something very few businesses can afford, and as your bank they'll know exactly when you can and when you can't) and if you didn't pay up immediately they'd buy up your assets in the bankruptcy proceedings that would immediately follow.

After selling off enough of the assets to satisfy the principal they'd sell off the remainder to friendly parties in order to make an easy profit.

Very nasty practice.

Don't ever put yourself in a position where you are dependent on a single bank, if you need an 'x' amount try to split 'x' across multiple loan providers if you can (it's not always possible, for instance with mortgages).

For a business to have only a single banking relationship is an un-necessary risk.

I dont like it:

- Storage and bathroom occupy half of the space.

- Closet for 3 shirts and a pillow?

- Stairs are weak and will break eventually.

- There is no cooker or even a microwave.

- No chair to watch a tv, bed usually serves as coach.

I have seen plenty of tiny apartments. Basic idea is to minimize space occupied by furniture, not to bring gigantic wardrobe which occupies most of it.

Right, and consumer law means any problem with a phone you bought from them is something you need to take up with them rather than Samsung, is that right? You bought your phone from a retailer. Where the retailer got it from and who they complain to about issues is their problem not yours.
Here are two credible reviews / meta-analyses stating the contrary, that is, that bicycle helmet use or legislation does, statistically, reduce head injuries.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001457500...

That said, despite personally wearing a helmet on my daily commute, I don't support legislation. I unfortunately don't have sources on hand, but I firmly believe that spending public dollars on bike infrastructure and better legislation for bicycle/car interaction would yield better safety improvements for cyclists AND increase cycling uptake.

Of course, the age verification thing kind of falls flat when you consider the large amount of sites that simply won't care, will be based outside the UK/in an area that has no connection to its jurisdiction and will just offer the same content 'illegally'.

True. But it's worth pointing out that cyclists aren't always the angels they often make themselves out to be. I sometimes refer to them as "the motorists of the walkway".

This came after having quite a few spandex-clad baby-boomers zip by me on their sleek fixies yelling "get out of the way" when I'm walking on a shared path. Gosh, it's almost as if this behavior was identical to the berating these same people complain about from motorists.
