One of the great things about the Microbit is how simple it is - sometimes it is so much more difficult to produce something that is simple and intuitive, and that's the case here. The Pi Zero is a great device, of course, but as a full single-board computer it requires an SD card with OS, keyboard, display, etc. Now with all those add-ons it no longer costs 6 pounds, and neither is it as simple to use. With the Microbit, I've sat down with both young students and teachers and taught them how to use the block-style language to write a simple program and upload it in just a few minutes. They can then plug in a battery pack and walk away with it to show to their friends. It's a great board. Having Bluetooth on it is a ++, since you can then program it from a mobile phone. How great is that?

In the US it's been wonderful to watch the development of Adafruit's Circuit Playground, another really great board for learning. It has a slightly different intent, and it's programmed using the traditional Arduino framework, but having the Neopixels, speaker, microphone, and so many positions to attach clips for expansion etc is just brilliant. It's also super portable with a battery pack once you've flashed a program onto it.

Having all these options for learning computing gives educators, parents, and kids the ability to select what's right for them: the challenge now might just be getting the information out there so that it's easy for them to pick!
Oh, sure--they're just where people I know have most egregiously run into it.
No, I mean that numerous examples over the past few years have shown that partisans of a single political party have been using the loophole provided by that case to try to pass laws which are trivially shown to be aimed at disenfranchising people. Luckily, we have lots of good examples now of cases working their way up the appeals process and once they get cert before a new court the Crawford decision will likely be overturned.
No, I haven't.

But I think you're taking my answer in a bit different direction than I meant it. I meant that the way to "prepare" for the interview is not by preparing for the interview, but rather by really learning stuff that you actually need for your career. Don't try to figure out how to game it. Instead, learn more so that you're more the candidate that they're looking for.

Now, you can still get tripped up by stupid stuff. "Oh, you didn't know the exact time complexity of that algorithm? No job for you!" But if they're playing that kind of game with you in the interview, you may not want to work there anyway...

"Longstanding ways of doing business"? Region-locked content dates all the way back to... DVDs.
Evolution does not understand and does not optimize for the survival and flourishing of a species. There are three reasons why members of a species vary - either the variance is the result of a beneficial gene, or it's the result of random changes to irrelevant genes, or the species is partway through fixing a new beneficial mutation through the entire population.

So the more complicated explanation as to why humans vary is that humans have a specific set of adaptations for learning and filling their place in the social environment. This is the entire point of childhood - trying things, seeing what works well, doing more of it, and winding up a person who does the sorts of things that work well for them. This means that if you happen to be gifted with bad eyesight and good verbal processing, you'll get early successes at storytelling that lead you to that sort of role as an adult.

That, in a nutshell, is why humans have such variance. It's the result of childhood, which is a specific algorithm that genes use to find and exploit the things the hosts happen to be better at.

And this built-in ability to vary oneself is helpful both for the strong and the weak, the pretty and the ugly, the clever and the dull, and so forth. It means instead of over-fitting for behaviors that work for the strong, the trait enacts a strategy that does strong-person behavior in strong people and weak-person behavior in weak people.

Fedex, UPS, USPS, etc. have a small, relatively stable set of people delivering packages to particular addresses. If there are oddities in delivering to your building - like a mailroom, gate code, etc - they only have to be discovered once per package carrier (less if they use internal notes).
I presume the safe space you're looking for does in fact exist, but that it's located in a country that doesn't outlaw sexual battery.

This is an interesting read, but the comparisons to other countries/regions omits any mention of population density. It's much easier to roll out public utilities in dense areas than sparsely populated ones, and western Europe and Korea are more densely populated than the US.

Not that this excuses the big drop in speeds, but it makes the comparative piece a bit less relevant/accurate.
And since that time numerous appellate courts have found that voter id laws which go beyond the limited requirements in the Crawford case were explicitly designed to create an excessive burden and to disenfranchise voters.

Sorry. I have to disagree. Vehemently. I'm a parent of three. I don't always tell my children everything, because they are not always capable of handling everything, but I am always honest with them. We're not perfect, but we try very hard never to manipulate our children.

Hard limits get tiresome, sure. Explaining yourself in terms they can understand gets very tiresome. Little secret: parenting gets tiring. There is no silver bullet. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Which word do you use? "The Data Plan Limited By Maximum Speeds, Current Network Capacity, and Amount of Time in a Given Month" doesn't fit on the pamphlet. Do we really need to go full lawyer on everything? I think people understand that "Unlimited Data" doesn't mean infinite speed.
IMHO, high school math misses the one course that would be most useful to the students. Statistics. While there are a LOT of statistical models that aren't especially useful in every day life, knowing the most common ones can be a big help.

Of all the math classes I took in college the only one I use on a regular basis is statistics. Thinking back on high school I spent a whole lot of time on basically calculus prep and in the end I hardly ever take a derivative or integral of anything.
The processing unit in a z13 is a 5GHz, with up to eight cores per unit. There is an enormous cache hierarchy (much larger than largest Xeons) often with dedicated per-core cache resources.

Are you working from the same data as me?

Also, those CPUs, since they are hooked up to IO processors, tend to have higher utilization (less time waiting for data).
I'm guessing you had privileged access to the datasheets for those chips and you're not legally allowed to tell them what they misunderstood? I imagine I would feel super weird seeing something being done wrong but not being allowed to tell someone. I mean I understand why, but it'd be frustrating.

One benefit is that you can render server-side and seamlessly take over on the client-side without needing a re-render.

Another benefit is simply React's component-based approach itself. I once went as far as using React for wordpress templating just because I prefer its approach to the standard WP <?php echo $blah ?> shit. I wouldn't recommend that to others though.
Fine then, it will remain a claim. I'm sure after today more people will know about ESA :-)

It's great, Stranger Things definitely seemed less fun as a result of having watched this first.

On the other hand, it's an extremely successful crowdfunding effort, and still probably didn't make anybody any real money. In fact some people paid to be in it. And being a pastiche of bad movies allows a lot of latitude in production value. It's incredibly impressive for the budget, but no serious film would work with those production values. It's also a third of the length of a feature film.
It might be try and get the small percentage of people that forget about the order or who can’t be bother doing the charge back.
That's a stretch, because it implies intent for diversity. Mass extinction through a lack of robustness is definitely something that natural selection selects for, but the inverse is true where too much genetic variability leads to less reproduction, and a drift towards uniformity over generations.

The bigger assumption in this article is in what natural selection selects for with humans. For sole individuals in any species, you typically need only to live long enough to reproduce viable offspring. With humans, we've evolved intelligence that has lead to a tribal culture.

That means that natural selection doesn't apply to the individual, but the majority of the species. The best individual of the entire human species is enough to hold natural selection back for everyone else (i.e. vaccines, engineering feats, etc.). That doesn't mean we've evolved to making bad decisions, it just means that the collective knowledge of our species is now being subjected to natural selection instead.
> The new MacBook Pro is said to include a redesigned, thinner body with a flatter MacBook-style keyboard, an OLED touch panel that replaces the physical function keys at the top of the keyboard, and Touch ID support.

> It is expected to do away with the USB-A port, HDMI port, and SD card slot, featuring just four USB-C ports based on part leaks, and it is said to include support for USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3.

The four USB-C port configuration will be interesting.
As far as I can tell the rumor stems from leaked housing shots (maybe prototypes) [1]
which show four slots, two on each side.

The Wikipedia page about Thunderbolt[2] says:

> Intel offers three versions of the controller:

> - one "DP" version that uses a PCIe 3.0 ×4 link to provide two Thunderbolt 3 ports (DSL6540)

>- one "SP" version that uses a PCIe 3.0 ×4 link to provide one Thunderbolt 3 port (DSL6340)

>- an "LP" (Low Power) version that uses a PCIe 3.0 ×2 link to provide one Thunderbolt 3 port (JHL6240).

This means either not all USB-C ports will be Thunderbolt 3 ports or the machines will have to have
two DSL6540's on board. I don't know the cost of this chips but I think this could be expensive. On the other hand: same connector with different capabilities? - not Apple's style.

It's impossible. I just had a fight with a bus driver over this.

"Single to X please"

"No"

"I'll pay you, whether personally or your employer, an entire £10 (the fare's about £1.50) to take me to X"

"No"

"£20?"

"No. Go somewhere else (there was nowhere near this particular bus stop to buy one and I'd have missed that bus even if there was) and buy a card so we can follow you everywhere you go"

It's fucking scary. Or would be if I lived permanently in this shithole. Haha!

Recent events rather than persuading me to get bank account and card have entrenched my position not to get one. Things should not be like this and fuck any and everyone who's OK with it.

Maybe we should not promote nonsense at all?
It is a theoretically good theory, but not a good idea. In general, doctors recommend folks not do this. [1] A few sites I visited warned folks not to tell their doctors they were feeding the baby homemade formula. One site even said I needed to watch a bunch of additional things, such as whether or not the baby is urinating properly and enough [2]

In addition, not everyone lives near those sorts of stores - when I lived in the states, I would have had to drive an hour or two to get to such places and I'm not certain the ingredients are readily available there. Furthermore, there is the issue of time. I'm pretty sure workplaces in the states must allow employees time to express breast milk, but do not allow time to make formula. Recipes range from all day to hours at a time: I'm unsure of the spoilage times on these.

Furthermore, not one of the recipes came from a site I would trust at first glance. I don't trust myself to know the nutritional needs of children enough to do this, let alone a lot of other parents uneducated in this area.

Also, I don't have children. I'd personally only buy this as a gift to help a friend, and only after asking first.

Well, I support the Crawford implementation. Doesn't disenfranchise voters, still ensures the integrity of our elections.

Politics is about compromise -- deal with it.
You clearly don't have children do you?
And since that time there have been numerous examples of legislative disenfranchisement via restrictive voter ID laws. You really have a hard-on for this one case, as though it somehow makes all forms of voter ID laws somehow magically valid. Law doesn't work that way, and the specifics of how this was implemented in Indiana vs the many other states which have tried even more restrictive forms of voter id and been slapped back by the courts should be a clue to you that this area is far from settled.

These are not hypotheticals, there are specific examples of legislators being caught on the record trying to craft voter ID laws such that they had the greatest effect upon poor and minority voters. We are still waiting on your to address these issues instead of repeatedly posting a link to this one case that happened to be the trigger for all of these laws that have now been found to be illegal.

Control theory is a better model for Traditionalism vs Progressivism, in my opinion. Traditionalism works to add damping to the system of cultural expectations, preventing overshoot and oscillation, while Progressivism provides the proportional response necessary to track the cultural ideal.

Crucially, this shows the difference between Traditionalism and just having a lot of cultural context. Culture itself is just weight - more of it is harder to change, but it's the same difficulty no matter how fast you go. Traditionalists, on the other hand, will fight you harder the more quickly you're changing cultural facts.
There was a lot of functionality added so to address this, they reduced the contrast of all the fonts? Nope. A more likely story is, as they added more functionality they delegated what could have done by people with less skills than a programmer because there are not enough of them. The end result is the people who care about well something works are just working on the program. The rest of the hangers on are trying to make their mark by using uber cool typography. I'll be the first to admit the lighter fonts look cool but they don't help you with your real job.

Agreed, their design gets high marks on executing current trends well, having a distinct brand, and being functional to interact with. And that's on top of serious talent and execution on the tech and business angles as well.

This sounds like a tightly reasoned argument but is in fact just an exercise in the rhetoric of rationalist dismissal. You can see this by simply looking carefully at the words you've chosen. "Classic tribalism", you say. Apart from begging the question of what exactly is "classic" about it, there's the bigger problem of how hard it is to come up with any human conflict that can't be cast and dismissed a "tribal", from the proper border between Kaliningrad and Lithuania to whether and how cities should regulate Uber drivers.

You know the complaint about "mansplaining" is utterly bogus because of the real problem with the term, which is that English already has a universally-accepted word that means literally --- exactly literally --- the same thing:
"patronizing". What you object to isn't the term: you object to the people using it, and seek to dismiss and mock them.

But APT does. It can run the post-install script for the package, which can certainly include the live-patching bits. It's not like live-patching needs a continuously running daemon.

Saying that APT can't do this is nearly equivalent to saying that APT should not be trusted to run any post-install scripts at all, which basically means it shouldn't be trusted to install half the software out there.
