I don't mean to gloss over any privacy implications this feature might have, but if we're talking about dissidents, doesn't the state already have a bunch of tools available to them for finding out were dissidents are gathering? Could something like cellular triangulation work almost as well?

On the other hand couldn't this feature allow for dissidents to find popular venues were they could gather to avoid suspicion?

Very nice, and a great test bed for AI code. Lots of low hanging fruit, like follow-ups to specific branches of conversation, extracting certain information from the spammers replies to make the answers look more real, etc.

Someone should organize a competition to see who can create the longest running conversation (or the funniest one).
lifting weights does very little in actual fingers strength. there are funny videos around when muscular lifters try climbing, they fail quite fast after couple of moves.

you can train a bit with various squeezy thingies, what helps too is just hanging by hands from some thicker bar (so you cannot grip it comfortably). but by far best training, especially in beginning is just climbing. it takes time for all connecting tissue to build up (tendons, ligament etc. - it's not about muscle for fingers). fingerboard can indeed be dangerous if attempted early - say from 6b-6c in french scale.

much of the art of staying on the wall is about proper balance - this can be trained a bit on slackline for example, but again best training is just climbing often.
I'd argue no. While you still receive all the syscalls that are made within each container, there is no way to differentiate those calls from ones made directly on the host. So no filtering or analytics can be made for containers. This is a known issue of the audit framework in Linux.
It'd be more effective if it didn't re-use responses later in the chain (unless it'd totally run out of alternatives). Although, arguably, it's funnier when the spammers/scammers do continue to find new ways to reply to the same couple of questions.
It's worth noting this convention is only for unit tests. Integration tests traditionally have their own test directory and files. Because of this, the file-inlined test code you see is normally relatively simple and shouldn't have a ton of extra helper functions and setup and such. The majority of the code should just be test cases themselves, which are clearly marked with #[test].
'She f-k me for fame'-Ray J slams Kim Kardashian in new song 'Famous'
I've had powerline everywhere in the house and ended up ripping it out and just putting in ethernet cables everywhere. Powerline is really great for 99% of users, but I wanted to stream games from one PC to another, and use Remote Play form my PS4 - and over powerline, packets just had some weird random latency from time to time, making local streaming impossible. It runs very smoothly over ethernet now.
I guess it will be hard to link such things causally to automation, specifically. I'm not an economist, but just speaking from the consensus that improvements to efficiency in the allocation of scarce capital should make everyone better off in a liberal economy (and even illiberal ones). Perhaps zooming out from the US to the whole world, it's more apparent that vast swathes of humanity have been lifted up in part by things like automation and freer trade.

I suppose the US's experience is not typical of the world's... after ww2, the US alone was something greater than 50% of global gdp, and its manufacturing base equally huge in comparison. Life is good when you are so far on top, even for the common worker, who with minimal education and no experience could find a job that supported an owned home, a homemaking wife, kids, a car, and two vacations a year. A couple of decades of that, and it starts to seem normal. But it was always abnormal, a result of fortunate post-war circumstances, and now that the rest of the world is catching up, perhaps we are returning to normality.
The problem is with different scenarios. Instead of your boss letting you go and have a good time, your boss will let you go and expect you to work.

I should add that the demo has an unacceptable rate of frame dropping and lag, particularly for an iPad Air, by no means an old device. If a native app lagged and consumed battery like this it would be an instant uninstall.

I came here to say this... Those FRAKTA bags (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/17228340/) are 100% polypropylene (thin strands, even). Polypropylene breaks down under ultraviolet light. The fact that the weave of the cloth is made from fine strands of polypropylene means that it will break down very quickly in the sun.

There's a "fix" though that should be good enough for a camping trip or two! Coat the bag with a powerful sunscreen. I'm not talking about those "SPF 50" spray bottles--those will wear off pretty fast. No, use Butt Paste:

http://www.buttpaste.com/

Yes, it's diaper rash cream but it's 16% zinc oxide which is the primary ingredient in many sunscreen lotions/sprays. Even better, because it's a thick cream it will actually stick to that slippery blue Ikea polypropylene fabric and do a decent job at protecting it from the sun.

Yeah, I haven't watched it recently either. But the social control is certainly implied (and the script was messy enough without spending 1/2 hour really spelling it out).
Note that Rust lets you put tests in tests/ instead of src/. So typically, you put short unit tests in src/ and longer/integration tests in tests/. Oh, and examples that show up in the documentation are also run alongside tests.

Also, the compiler will tell you if you have code that's not labelled with #[cfg(test)] but is designed to run only in tests.

Mobile Jazz’s Summer Camp in the Costa Brava
This is very useful. I've been able to time some purchases and administrative tasks using Popular Times.

The amount of stuff Google and other services know about me can be a bit shocking - although, as most people, I'm really predictable (and I use Android a lot), so I shouldn't be shocked if Uber suggests "to work" at 9 a.m. and Google reports (accurately) about the traffic conditions and suggests walking, saying I'm going to take 40 minutes and I end up taking 39 (incredibly accurate).
Because of types, basically. You can construct the core data structures of your program and the types of the functions operating on those data structures without having to actually implement said functions. When the types fit together, i.e. your program is logically consistent, you can start filling in the actual code.

This is much faster than writing a large chunk of code, playing around in the REPL thinking everything is ok, only to realize one week later that you didn't think through some core aspect of your design and then having to refactor a sizeable piece of your codebase.

> The last message I get was something like "Array.Array: Index out of bounds". Program crashed. No idea where the error originated.

It is an unfortunate historical artefact that there are still partial functions (i.e. functions that may crash) in the Haskell base libraries. It is generally advised to avoid such functions, but this is not very clearly communicated to newcomers to Haskell.

For example, Elm, a language largely inspired by Haskell, doesn't have partial functions. This is why it prides itself in "not having any runtime errors in production" (excluding things like compiler bugs or unsafe JavaScript libraries, of course).
There are actually a couple now. They currently only render in Gecko apps (though apparently it's possible to get them working in Chromium apps now, too). There's a bug filed in FreeType[0] to support SVG-in-OT fonts like this one, but no implementation yet.

I believe that having this implemented in FreeType would be sufficient to get it to work in GTK3 Emacs; not sure about plain X toolkits.

Yellow IKEA Backpack would be more valuable and unusual :) OK. Very interesting.
Your criticisms are pretty off the mark for ultralight backpacks. Nobody is expecting lifetime durability from a backpack weighing only 17 oz. Frameless bags (capacity <20 lbs) regularly omit the waist strap to save weight.

Some people want to buy a 5 lb backpack made of 1000D nylon that will outlast them. Other people want a 5 oz backpack made of an exotic material like Cuben or silnylon that will let them achieve a baseweight of under 15 lbs.
For anyone interested in a serious DIY ultralight backpack, I'd suggest taking a look at Ray Jardine's "Ray-Way Backpack Kit". Jardine was a pivotal figure in the modern ultralight backpacking movement; his designs have been used successfully by countless AT and PCT through-hikers.

It's also incredibly heavy. There's a reason why no ultralight backpacks use the 600-1000D Cordura that more robust bags are made of.
57 Best Ruby Gems We Use at RubyGarage
Because I'm a little into ultralight backpacking:

> 1. no chest strap to help distribute the load. I see a waist strap which is nice, but chest is generally the bare minimum

UL backpacks usually don't have a lot of features, because they are built around the asumption that you optimize every single item for weight (best case by just leaving it at home). So it's not a specific property of that design, but in general for all UL packs that they leave features away that are meant for heavy load backpacking.
If you have iron mine nearby your steel plant, and both are located where steel is needed, it's good.

When you have to move iron around, you'd calculate how much it costs you to move the iron vs steel, since steel would have more value. Or if would be better to produce a car and move the car...

> "Awareness is an illusion", as proposed by some thinkers, certainly doesn't do it for me, because there's still something that has to perceive that illusion.

Maybe the illusion is just perceiving a past/previous instance of itself -- which further sustains the illusion? The recursion obviously bottoms out at the point of emergence, if we assume that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon.

(Don't take this too seriously -- I just think it's fun to think about these things.)
A family member that works with industrial assembly lines purchased one, and it has been a huge boon for him, especially since he doesn't have to subcontract a welder so much.

He does need a person to watch over the robot for theft and most especially sabotage, but even then, it's much cheaper than a trained welder (and welds more cleanly).

The construction syndicate here in Uruguay is very big and very radicalized, making construction costs ridiculously expensive compared to average wages, I fear for the first person to bring the bricklaying robot here:

Klarna is a little too Swedish. There's a ton of fraud related issues they haven't considered. When a former employer wanted to start using Klarna in Denmark, we asked Klarna about fraud, and how they deal with it. The answer: They don't, not really in any meaningful way.

In Sweden you can just order random stuff online and have it show people door step, and have Klarna send the bill to the victim, who now has to deal with returning the 50 dildos you ordered for them.

Even when Klarna works as intended we have experience that they would make us, the webshop, pay for an item, when they failed to get the payment from the customer. The whole idea of Klarna is that they are responsible for collecting the money from the customer.
Honestly: it seemed a bit off to me too, but it was mentioned so I assumed it probably did something.

Although, the lifter thing is more just that they don't realize they need to use their legs. Common problem in general, but most people are weak enough that they realize "Something isn't right here" soon enough.

We like to mock one of our friends because he started off climbing and was completely drained after a single 5.7 because he used JUST his arms.

I'll try once more, since you seem to have missed my point entirely.

I'm not sure if you got the "three million non-citizen voters" thing from Infowars or directly from Gregg Phillips.

If the former, then you're posting something from a conspiracy site whose other headlines include "ALIENS DO EXIST, SAYS TOP SECRET FBI MEMO" and "THE COMING STAGED ALIEN INVASION."

If the latter, then you're taking at face value something from some random person on twitter.

Either way, it has zero credibility. You're right that I'm not discussing in good faith, because I'm trying to point out how ridiculous your original claim was by doing the same thing back to you. The only difference between yours and mine is that I actually understand that mine is fake.
Using the internet is like moving from the city to the suburbs. You have complete control over the news you read, the videos you watch, and the music you listen to.

It's also a very lonely place. Human beings are reduced to casual stimulation. No amount of information is ever enough. We don't know our neighbors.

I try as hard as I can to stay away from the internet, especially social media. Hacker News is the only exception, the only drug that I can't quit.

I sometimes wonder how the tobacco executives feel as they promote a harmful product, even while many of them do not smoke.

Detached consumerism is a disease. It is hard to cure because we are all complicit in this ailment. The internet, with its stimulating advertising and glossy social media perceptions of a flawless moment in time, is a vector for this disease. I'm not sure the internet is helping us. It may be instrumental in us hurting ourselves, and each other, instead.
I can't verify at the moment (the site isn't responding when I tried to open it back up), but isn't this a backpack for ultralight backpacking as opposed to an ultralight backpack for (traditional) backpacking? If so, you're working with sub-20lb loads where chest/waist straps are no longer essential. Durability also no longer a top priority. The needs and expectations of an UL pack are vastly different from those of a traditional pack (which is what you seem to be describing).
Pinpoint accuracy in the spatial sense isn't what's useful here for weather forecasting - it's the increased resolution for detecting subtle features and the increased frequency for detecting said features more quickly.

This likely won't help improve "will it rain this afternoon at the golf course" forecasts, but it will very likely drive "we detected a thermal couplet on this supercell, let's tornado warn it" type decisions several minutes sooner.
Maybe the licenses for the patterns I was buying it with pushed my prices up.

It's a matter of opaqueness, not of abuse: the install system will be unable to reason about what an arbitrary script does, severely limiting functionality.
For example, pip will be unable to ensure dependencies remain constant (after installing something else, after DST begins or ends, between a dry run and an actual install, after unrelated software alters environment variables, etc.). This is much worse than a 95% correct dependencies manifest that can be easily hacked to 100% correct.

So, like anything, the available libraries vary, but the important ones score pretty highly. Haddock documentation (like Doxygen) is considered a basic part of the job. "cabal test" will run embedded test harnesses. Stackage contains a set of libraries considered to be stable and of sufficient quality that most projects don't need to have qualms about using them. See for instance https://www.stackage.org/haddock/lts-7.10/http-client-0.4.31...
The old AirPort Utility actually ran on more recent OSes for a while with some simple tweaks. And I'm sure the code for the old devices could have been included in the new versions of AirPort Utility. Frustrating indeed.

You're right that web-based isn't perfect. In my experience, the odds are at least better.

I am starting to feel like I should just resign myself to considering this sort of hardware to be disposable, and assume that it'll stop working due to software obsolescence after a few years, just as surely as if it lets out the magic smoke one day.
> Haskell is not yet at an adoption level where anything said about it would qualify as FUD. If I told you I have a great cold remedy and all of my friends really like it, you saying that you may want some more carefully researched information first doesn't qualify as FUD. I don't see why anyone can be expected to make a rational decision based on nothing but marketing from enthusiasts. Haskell is not even at the point where management is the part of the organization that needs convincing.

Maybe "FUD" isn't precisely the right term, but Haskell does seem to attract a special level of attacks that isn't applied to other languages at a similar level of maturity.

> Is every company supposed to just try each one? Do we all need to try Elixir, Kotlin, Clojure, Scala, Haskell, F#, and Go?

Well, companies have to make the choice one way or another, and they don't seem willing to pay what it would cost to study these questions to a scientific level. And the decision to stick with "industry best practice" (probably currently Java) is not a safe option either - anyone who does that runs the risk of being outcompeted by those who pick a better lanugage.

> A language like Kotlin is nearly free for Java shops to try.

Oh? To my mind a language that young, backed by a relatively small company, and whose popularity is heavily based on marketing (including a history of repeatedly announcing features before they were actually implemented) would come with a high risk factor.

> The best way for other developers to understand is, therefore, for the few early adopters to research and report on their experience, with some actual data (cost, duration, size etc.).

Sure - but the business incentives don't seem to be there for those early-adopter businesses to publish that kind of report (whether the outcome is positive or negative). How can we make that happen?
