The biggest problem nuclear culture has is the costs are very aerospace or military or healthcare or higher education like, in that they'll cost exactly how much money is available, not a penny more or a penny less.

How much should it cost in some abstract sense? How much should it cost to be safe? Who knows. But one thing is certain based on historical observation, it'll cost exactly and precisely every penny that is available, and not a penny more or less. There's a lot of profit to be made off spending each penny, and each penny will be spent.

That mindset doesn't mesh well in an industry that has competitors like coal plants or natgas peaking plants or solar plants. What does "spend every penny you can" mean at a coal plant? Or what does "a penny not spent is a penny lost" mean at a solar plant?

Meanwhile you're comparing a product that's been shipping for half a century, admittedly at various levels of technical and economic success, with vaporware under so far successful development. You can't compare the price of a commodity gallon of standard cow milk in 2016 to the price of a shipping in 2028 Intel CPU in a useful way.
Taxis and their local apps have zone limitations. They arbitrary bounds, within parts of your "home city".

They may not go where you want, they may not be available where you are, because you are not in the right part of the city.

If that were true these ads would just go away, or cost less. They are making money.

I don't understand why someone using a laptop would want to scroll by lifting their arm up to the screen, rather than just moving two fingers on the touchpad where their hand is already resting.
My XPS 13 9350 works perfectly with Fedora 25. Installed Fedora and literally everything works out of the box. That includes things like HiDPI auto scaling, touch screen, suspend, media keys, etc.

When it was first released, there were some issues with suspend and the touch screen, but they were all resolved a few months later in a newer kernel release. Fedora 25 ships with that newer kernel by default.
My MacBookPro is considerably louder than my desktop (Windows) gaming PC with 6 fans in it. When the laptop gets hot, its a beast as far as noise (comparatively speaking, that is... its not going to disrupt a call or anything).

I live in a small city. There's probably 25 different auto makes sold by at least a dozen different dealership groups in my area.
We're not going to have wars fought over plastics. What is going to start wars is the problem that several large middle eastern countries aren't water-sustainable nor food-sustainable without imports paid for by oil profits.

Looking at the other comments, I realize you're looking for object/XML mapping. My opinion is that this is pointless (and I'm guilty of applying it back in the SOAP days, too), because objects are co-inductive data structures based on the types of programming languages, whereas XML is based on grammars eg. a description of a class of sequences of content tokens.

Sure you can represent objects, ie. a memory dump of a running program, as XML, but what's the point?
Who said they died because of their belief in the Resurrection?

I think it is highly likely that His followers believed strongly that He was the Messiah and His message had divine provenance.

It's much less clear which parts of, what became, the accepted view they considered worth dying for.

Maybe they believed in the truth of the Resurrection. Maybe they weren't aware of the claims (ok that's unlikely). Maybe they were aware and decided that it was good for the message (much more believable). Maybe they thought that it wasn't that important to the overall mission either way.

I don't know the answer, of course, but it's perfectly plausible that they didn't believe in the Resurrection and still fulfilled their mission. Plenty of people have died for what they believe is right without needing to have a mentor rise from the dead.
Two additional chargers, one that stays in my backpack and one for the other room in my house where I work: $180. $150-ish worth of dock for my desk so various stuff works including Logitech wireless mouse, monitor, external drives -- I didn't choose one yet but that's the price range. DVI for projectors and HDMI for various stuff: $100. Three $10 usb-A dongles, one each of which would probably be tied to the power adapters because I personally and professionally have a dozen devices that use usb-A. And the above is well over $400.

They absolutely do settle for less. I moved from public sector to private sector and tripled my total compensation. I did go to a lot more meetings, though. :-)

At lower skill and compensation levels public sector jobs do have a pay advantage. At much past high school graduate levels of skill the advantage shifts to private pay, and that shift goes exponential for any skill that is in demand.
Dell Inspiron 13, 5000 Series 2-in-1.

It's not fabulous, and most of the criticisms are correct, but it was $500-600 when I was looking to buy, and has done reasonably well.

Mostly, it was just a choice to save $1-2k on a laptop (every 1-2 years) and spend the money on cellphone data and lattes.
They don't trade as such, they buy (a lot) and hold -- and manage what they buy as well, when they can. Basically, it's the Warren Buffet approach to investment, and it took a long time to build from what used to be a more ordinary-looking pension fund wa-a-a-ay back when I was a kid (50 years ago).
If you want to sidestep your IT, you can report the site to your filter provider as miscategorized. I'd argue that ntppool.org is not related to hacking. Most of the filter providers have publicly available forms or email addresses for this stuff. There's not a high burden of proof to worry about either.

I'm guessing the extra space is going to the (optional) discrete GPU. That doesn't appear to be an option on the XPS 13.
It actually is losing holidays; if you have the same number of holidays per year, but more total days per year, you are losing holidays.
Actually, your last line can only be true for mean solar time. The sun leads or lags mean solar time, by a varying amount described by the misleadingly-named Equation of Time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_time#Apparent_solar_ti...

(The annual variation is due to two main factors: the tilt of the Earth and the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit. I got asked about this in a programming interview once and couldn't remember! Never again.)
Yeah, anaphoric macros are a neat trick, a novelty. They're rarely useful in practice. Additionally, any time one would be useful in practice, you turn your anaphoric construct into a binding construct, and suddenly you have hygiene. To lift an example from @davexunit up-thread:

(aif (foo)
(bar it))

becomes instead

(let-if (it (foo))
(bar it))

A minuscule amount of extra typing to be explicit, and now you not only have hygiene, but you can properly nest such forms and even generalize the form to multiple bindings:

(let-and ((x (foo))
(y (bar)))
(baz x y))

Having access to the HDL for a chip would be awesome. We use a custom RTOS at work, and occasionally run into actually new silicon bugs (ie. the vendor ends up writing errata based on what we found). If I had access to the HDL, it'd reduce a month long debugging->fix cycle quite a bit and let me get back to more important work.
I might experiment with this. Thanks for sharing.
The browser clock I wrote is written in Javascript and runs off the local time in your browser.

I have not implemented those. The idea was to do the opposite of the granular nature of our current time keeping paradigm. To smooth out time, and think of it in larger blocks, the kinds of blocks where hard problems can really be tackled in.

Its precisely not for organizing events, although you could. For example, 35 corresponds to the 8-4PM period on December 20th of every non leap year.

Its time keeping for a small team that just got seed funding as in hardcore build mode, or for people living like Thoreau at Walden.
I am in the same boat, even under Linux and no configuration at all, the new XPS 13 lasts an incredibly long time. Just a minor correction, the battery in the previous (early 2016 - 9350) model was actually 52W, not 56.

Who promised anyone a job? How is it that someone interprets "you need a college education to get a good job" as some kind of guarantee?

On the other hand folks nearing retirement today had actual promises in hand, on paper, "work at this pay for this period and you will receive a deferred benefit of X". Much harder to make a case that anyone was bamboozling anyone in that transaction.

By the way, this generational warfare theme is extremely destructive and does its proponents no good. It doesn't help when proponents exhibit the kind of thinking that asserts someone was guaranteed a job.

I can't really accept the reference of already famous names as strong evidence they were part of any event or that the event described actually took place. On a daily basis I see completely made up stories about kings, queens, politicians, actors, actresses, socialites, etc.; and people believing those stories without any evidence; and people retelling those stories, adding their own flair. Often the subject of those stories let the inaccuracies continue or even fabricate it themselves. And that's just people and things that happen today, things that could likely be verified but just aren't because most people don't care to. Over thousands of years and various translations and interpretations, it is nearly impossible that any meaningfully accurate information made it this far, i doubt it even made it to the stone.
FireWire has been dead for years, it's time for an upgrade.
Back in 2009 my dream was to run OSX with a Thinkpad keyboard and trackpoint. Now that I have OSX on a Thinkpad X220 my dream is to run i3-wm with unified application design language and underlying foundations. On OSX Spotlight works well and gives me what I want, and applications look good. There aren't any missing icons and text size isn't all over the place. Amethyst WM on OSX is pretty good, but it's not as good as i3. I'm not sure if it's easier to make applications look good on Linux or to get a WM that looks more like i3 on OSX.
Isn't that exactly what we need? Electric cars are selling just fine in the somewhat luxury new car space, but the majority of people that I know only ever buy used cars or lease very modest sedans. To get electric cars in the hands of those drivers, electric cars need to be cheap and "lowest common denominator" and there needs to be a flood of them sold new or leased new to enter the secondary markets effectively.

Yes. It's not any harder to learn this stuff as you get older, in my own experience, despite what people sometimes think.

Only personal experience, but: I found learning complex technical concepts far easier in my late 20's than I did as new college entrant at 18-19. Including all the math.

So, not sure why people like to say that you learn this stuff easier when you're younger. For me, it was exactly the opposite.

We're living in a transitory period as we move from a world of wires and connectors to a wireless world. This is the pain we have to endure as technology is pushed forward.

If it were up to the luddites and their obsession with compatibility, a laptop would have a dvd drive, firewire, usb-a, usb-c, thunderbolt, hdmi, dvi, vga, sd, microsd,vga, and display port all in one laptop chassis.

Having one single port, that can do all those things and do them just as well, is a far preferable alternative. Couple that with the future transition to wireless-only technology, and we're on our way to the future.
Yes. It's too practical to stop using it. Plus, many places don't have a viable alternatives to Uber/Lyft.

I just started with Pelican and I'm really liking it. I think I've tried most of the static site generators out there.
Yeah; I think this is the other problem. I've had my first-ever mbp at work for almost three years. Each OS release is buggier than the last (and all of them fail on resume every once in a while). Example from el capitan: The ctrl and alt keys sometimes get 'stuck' when switching to and from a full screen vnc session (with the builtin client). So, a dozen times a day, I start typing into vnc, and hilarity ensues. It turns out ctrl and alt handling in vnc is surprisingly complicated, but the point is that this is a regression. It never happened before el capitan.

VNC, you ask? As our product has matured, the build has gotten slower, so my local vmware vm is useless. The remote xeon is pretty iffy too (and it is not three years out of date like apple's comparable offering).

Writing on macos and shipping the code is a non-starter, and I like to be able to cut and paste urls / download things into my linux working directory directly from firefox.

Worse, it is not like some things improved while others regressed. Take the mail and calendar clients (the other programs I actually use) for example. Other than waiting, there is no way to dismiss the "you've got mail" notifications without opening the email (thus borking my vnc session again). Since apple is deep into the minimalism cult, I know they are organizationally incapable of putting an X on the popup.

That is the story of my $2800 VNC client with buggy keyboard, crashy kernel and iffy mail client. At least it has an escape key, reasonable keyboard play, and good battery life.

In apple's defense, I don't know of and better options that work out of the box. Microsoft and google perform way too much user surveillance, and Ubuntu Unity (i.e. Dell XPS developer edition) broke the alt key. When did desktop/laptop software start sucking so badly?

I'm not missing it, I just don't like it. It makes the language difficult to understand when any given time you run into an atom, maybe it's being used like a ruby symbol (such as the way the initial :ok gets used in the examples I pasted), but maybe it's being used as a module.

My problems with __MODULE__ are, first, it's just super clumsy to have heavily used language constructs with lots of underscores around them, and I don't really understand why anyone ties themselves to that particular semantic. I hate it in Python, too. Almost any other way of distinguishing it from other language elements would be less jarring to read.

But second, %__MODULE__{ buffer | size: buffer.size + 1, queue: :queue.push(buffer.queue, whatever) } does some kind of magic that I'd have to look up the details of, but basically copies buffer but overrides some of its elements, right? That's why you don't have to set max_size explicitly? It's a hack that lets you have actually immutable objects but deal with a logically mutable buffer. It's a weird combination of verbose (to copy buffer, I have to write %__MODULE{ buffer, where in another language it might be like buffer.copy()), and compact to the point of overly dense information (I'm putting a lot of expressions on one line), and it's implicit, too -- what parts of buffer are being copied over unchanged? Sorry, better go and look somewhere else. I think this is legitimately hard to get right -- the immutability constraint means that a lot of the standard idioms of programming are a poor fit -- but ultimately this is Elixir's job.

We do have our own time source. Our NTP source is locked to that server via GPO. NTP requests aren't blocked, because I can still set NTP on things like my printer to other NTP sources and receive updates.

I'm willing to bet they don't realize that they've blocked their server. What I want to know is how the drift got to be this bad in a matter of days. It's like whatever computer they are using as the NTP server doesn't have a real-time clock.
