You don't feel like your rhetoric is a little overblown? How does one "raid the institutions of integrity"? Even if that were your explicit job? Do you visit in the dark of night and go to their integrity safe, crack it, and then bring your stolen integrity home to add to your family's integrity store?

At any rate, I wasn't saying that Trump is personally incompetent (I'm agnostic in that respect), and thus that he will not succeed in dismantling institutions. I'm saying that he's a figure within a Constitutional democracy with limited power, who does not have any kind of enormous political support, in a country with a long, stable government, and going up against entrenched interests.

Might he do some damage? Of course. But in general, Presidents break against the entrenched powers in Washington, not the other way around.

Four years from now, we'll have another election and probably Trump will be gone. Eight years from now, he'll definitely be gone. There's no sign that Trump has the ability to dismantle the government in the way that Putin did in Russia.

I haven't heard what my own voice sounds like on the built-in mic, so I can't disagree with you there-- however, I've been able to use them without (apparent) problem in loud datacenters, which frankly surprised me.

My 'main' headphones are Audiotechnica M50s which are, of course, cheaper, but damn well should be without noise cancelling or BT. I use them with an external DAC+headphone amp, but I prefer the QC35 at all volumes (short of ear-splitt, which the Bose won't do-- but at least they don't clip, ever!)

I sorta agree on noise cancelling tech. Of course voices leak, that's normal. But I, too, sometimes wonder if I'm just replacing one set of sounds with another. Where I really like them is in addition to music. Just by itself, meh.
Pretty sure buying IBM in 2017 is a good way to get fired ^^
I have to agree with some others here - on my larger monitor, the text is far too large to be easily read. The large spacing between letters and lines, combined with the excessively large body text is just causing eye fatigue, and I literally can't be bothered to pop an aspirin and keep going.

That said, it looks great on my phone.

Maybe there should be a maximum size on the text, or on the width of the site itself, to keep it in that "readable" zone. I want to read it at my desktop, but literally can't right now.
There is no hypercomputer. (The strong form of the Church-Turing thesis).

What makes things cool?
I'd like to answer, but you didn't ask an actual question, so i'll take a blind stab.

Short version: CO2 causes general warming. Ice caps on the pole are necessary to keep the planet cool by reflecting a lot of the incoming light. General warming will cause ice caps to melt, which causes more energy from the sun to be absorbed, which causes even faster warming. Permafrost areas will also thaw, releasing CO2 and methane, resulting in even more warming. Strong heat increases can damage rain forests, reducing the CO2 absorption, also speeding up warming. Result: Best case scenario: Loss of coastal regions to sea rise. Worst case scenario: Earth becomes a second Venus.

Edit: To downvoters: If i got facts wrong, please do correct me. The above is my understanding of the sitation and i may have gotten some wrong.
I don't know. I use Slack and Discord a lot. The only advantage Discord has going for it is the voice chat channels, which has much more utility for gaming than business in my opinion. Otherwise Slack is way better at all the other features and I usually feel neutered when I'm using Discord after using Slack all day.

Quick question:

What is IBM doing and selling nowadays? Did they become a consultancy or something?

They have 300k employees. That's a lot for a company I thought was dying.
As far as I can tell that int wrap around could be avoided by

- subtracting buffer size from both pointers once the read pointer has wrapped.

- choosing a longer int for the math operation where possible

That seems a small price for the freedom to be able to choose an appropriate buffer size.

Funny, I was just researching this very thing this morning. I don't think it's as bad as you may believe.

Here are a couple of quick links that contain all the data you may want on the current understanding of population growth.

This one is full of data and graphs. The population rate of growth is declining and shows an expected peak in 2100 of 10 Billion people.

https://ourworldindata.org/future-world-population-growth/

This one is more fun and shows the real time population and breaks it down into countries. It’s scary and fascinating to watch India’s population steadily ticking upward relative to pretty much every other country. So if the population eventually tapers, it will not be an even distribution (no surprise). Where will the people in India go, I wonder? If you scroll down to “World Population by Country” and look at the migrants rate, it appears net migration is out of India, higher than any other country, but not high enough to compensate for the growth.

One thing (of many) that made me absolutely furious during the American presidential debates, is that climate change and the environment in general were not brought up at all. Not a single time. The people running the world will be the death of us all, putting a chase for profit over everything else. I'm mad as hell, but feel absolutely powerless.
Like other kinds of anxiety, it may not be fully rational :)

But one reason I own a nice car is to effortlessly drive across the state and to distant states with the comfort, power, etc of a modern car. "Just rent a car for those longer journeys" becomes less compelling when it's more than a handful of times a year.

For my commute, I could just keep driving the same 15 year old car forever -- though the butt warmers and bluetooth and so on of newer cars is a "nice to have".

I'd like to add that our knowledge of the details of hippocampal neuroanatomy are probably the most advanced of any brain region, which allows the somewhat informed construction of computational models. I wish I had more time to learn modeling methods, I have specific developmental hypotheses I'd like to test in such a model. In the end, I'd probably need to find a knowledgable collaborator though.

The correct way to do network security in any OS is to block every programs from connect to internet unless explicitly allow by users.

It should also notify user a new/unknown program is attempted to connect to internet and allow user option to allow/block. Not the way it does now where every programs are allowed by default. However, that will be in conflict with the new biz model of win10 which is convert itself into a big Ad machine like Google/Android.

BTW, in my win10 configuration, I only allow Firefox, Chrome and Window Defender to connect to internet with Window Firewall. It works well, stable, reasonably fast and long uptime.

Best of all : No more force update from Windows.
Exactly! Every question about how a computer-driven car will handle exceptional situations encountered by humans shares the same answer: the computer won't have got itself into the situation in the first place. Humans might drive a car into a whiteout blizzard, but that only serves to demonstrate the urgency of cutting humans out of the loop.

Opportunity costs. For example, we're currently devoting a lot of money and attention to climate change that could instead be devoted to things like malaria and malnutrition.

(It should be obvious, but this is not an argument that climate change isn't real. Just that if it weren't real, we'd want to know, and act upon that.)

This requires using bash. I find it kind of cheating that git ships bash on Windows so that Windows users can rely on bash for composing git commands. I'm not sure if Windows users are generally that happy about typing bash commands, but I guess nobody really cares what you have to type in as long as it's high in the Google hits for whatever operation you want to perform.

Mercurial's API (i.e. the CLI) makes a point of being usable with powershell and cmd.exe, which I think some Windows users appreciate.

On what grounds do you conclude that China is more likely to do something about environmental issues? The record on air pollution is not good. Also, China burns an enormous amount of coal and the stats on whether consumption is going up or down are mixed. [1] The current consumption levels are unsustainable from a C02 perspective, so this is a big issue.

I'm not for a moment excusing US behavior but it's clear that all large economies are going to have problems changing their consumption patterns, often for reasons that are unique to each economy in question.

Italian here. Health malpractice is everywhere, it's just that the Italian media often pick up stories of malpractice because they sell better. Malpractice is usually properly fined and punished.

When I commented my original post had been downvoted to -1 without any replies. Irritating.
I had the same experience. I was creating a multi-user game-like experience and I had to come up with a client-side human "simulator" that was meant to be used if human players couldn't be found (what people would call a "bot" in most games). I tried several different iterations of what I perceived to be complex human-like decision-making rules. In the end what I ended up using was just very simple behavior mostly based on random number generation. Users could not distinguish that from real people. My previous complex rules-based solutions felt very robotic in comparison.

Still, I consider the classic game AI to be a real type of AI. They're just different things when compared to things like Machine Learning. Despite (and your) my example, most of the time, when creating game AI you have to distill the rationale a player would have to a set of rules, and then build it from the ground up as a rudimentary intelligence that can make decisions. Sure, there's "shallower" games, but also games that distinguish themselves when good AI is in place. I keep thinking of the AI in Quake 1 bots, and when a game like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. had good opponents. It was refreshing.

I'd even say there's some beauty in it, especially when you get to some emergent behavior that you did not expect.

I think Machine Learning is all the rage today mostly because you can attack a problem using brute force, without having to understand what drives a behavior. It may be more human-like, but to me it's just a separate branch.

To be fair it's not disbelief in climate change, it's a healthy skepticism of man made climate change.
People in urban environments, maybe. Never going to be the case for the majority of areas.
All autocratic rulers are some form of a cipher, both for the cabal that does their dirty work and the totalitarian masses that enable them. It's irrelevant whether this is done by Trump directly, his administration, or thugs on the street. You can employ whichever tool accomplishes your aim, then reign it in to give the appearance of political normalcy.

Very cool. I always wanted to play around with a git provider for powershell. Powershell's syntax is great for queries and you could use everything that works on the normal file system with anything that has the abstractions implemented.

> The emphasis was on having keys on opposite sides of the keyboard based on the frequency of their sequential occurrence in common text [..] If you factor in the time to "un-jam" the typewriter, I bet it'd be faster than a modern layout (Dvorak, Colemak, Norman, etc) when typing on an old school typewriter.

What do you base this on? Actually every source I looked up shows that QWERTY doesn't rate well even in this aspect alone.

Eg. http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?keyboard_statistics

> In, QWERTY the left hand is used for <=2 consecutive strokes 68.5% of the time. The left and right sides of QWERTY are not balanced well, since the right-hand run length is better, with <=2 consecutive strokes 82.9% of the time.

Also see http://patorjk.com/keyboard-layout-analyzer/#/results (go to Miscellaneous tab; I loaded chapter 1 of "Alice in Wonderland", but selecting a different English text shouldn't make a significant statistical difference of course).

Under "Consecutive Hand and Thumb Use" QWERTY is almost the worst - screenshot for your convenience under http://i63.tinypic.com/2ykgx2v.jpg - the lower the better.
A builder pattern will still be implemented within the code. It does make it easier to define flows but does not solve the problem of embedding flows inside the apps.

Having an external DSL and keeping the flow definition outside the application scope into a central registry provides better control and visibility into flows - not to mention being able to change the wiring without recompiling or deploying apps.

It's Uber's 3rd iteration of their prototypes. The first they tested in private for 18 months, the second had those ridiculous 22 camera 6 Lidar sensor suites and was unveiled in May, and this new configuration is brought to you by Anthony Levandowski, Kalanick's new top general, and the only real reason for the Otto acquisition. "My brother from another mother" said Travis.

The Otto deal was set around incentives, it's not actually a flat 600 million dollar deal. If Levandowsky can deliver a Robotaxi OS that carries Uber to greatness, his networth could be astronomical. He's probably the top candidate in the world right now to lead an autonomous driving project to commercialization. He's got a vicious Randian streak and he's been at the bleeding edge of driverless vehicles since the Darpa days.
> There needs to be something done at a higher level but that also comes with its own set of issues.

There's an obvious 'issue'—the poor little companies that want to track to us will have a hard time, because we don't want to be tracked—an administrative issue—there has to be some easy way for just about anybody to query whatever central database—and, perhaps, a security issue—a central database with everyone's contact information could be a desireable target. That's all that I can think of, though; what else do you have in mind?
I don't underestimate the class based sabotage. Don't think the human primate won't sell out is own kind, just because they're warned in advance.

The incuriousity of U.S. media really is remarkably repellant. None of the presidential debates brought up climate change at all. No one asks whether the politician believes the ozone hole problem was real, and whether it was set on a course of self repair by global political agreement, and local legal enforcement. Whether there was a free market fix for this in any sane time frame. No questions. That's holding people too accountable somehow.

Asking if people understand the ozone hole is maybe like asking whether 2+2=4 or some other value. Sure they'd say 4 (ozone problem was real) but somehow global warming is some 6+6!=12 but no one is ever held accountable for such absurdity. And why? The general population doesn't count that high. So the answer is in fact debatable. There's no common frame of reference with a huge percent of the American population.

Meanwhile in California, it is pretty much widely accepted. But they have "socialist" education and infrastructure investment; not this free market starve the beast strategy being used in bum fuck Kansas and Texas where people are getting dumber than rocks by the day, and like it, because their taxes are lower and Jesus isn't questioned. But they wonder why business won't move there.

Anyway this can't be treated as a problem only majoritatian democracy can solve. Leave it up to the majority and it's hopeless. This is a consensual problem, work the system just like this is a minority right, even though in the end the majority benefits.

Update Galaxy S3 to Android Nougat 7.1 (CM 14.1)
I'm a bit conflicted in how I feel about how much attention tools like this get. While it's absolutely a really neat tool, I think it gives a largely false idea that it's normal to need tools like this. The huge majority of companies aren't dealing with 1% of the traffic and complexity that Netflix handles. And for that vast majority of these companies, microservices and their orchestration tools are unnecessary.
