The end of the reply from naddy@ is pretty funny:
"Any hate mail about leap seconds should be directed to (1) the
people who insist that Earth's celestial wobbling around must have
primacy for time keeping and (2) the people at POSIX who specified
that time_t must not include leap seconds, which means we can't
just let the time zone database handle this."
My security officer is going to love this!
I worked retail in the states and was lucky enough to get vacation time - I worked up to 3 weeks before moving to Norway.

We had times they said we weren't allowed to take vacation - mostly around Christmas, but sometimes different. I had trouble getting 2 weeks off in a chunk when my soon-to-be spouse visited, and had to find someone to work my scheduled weekend to do so. Usually they only let you take a week at a time.Some stores would do a payout for vacation time at the end of the year. It was a pharmacy, and we worked holidays and weekends.

Some places are much more strict than this, however. And some places don't offer vacation time at all, though a few offer more.
No rather technology is making me very lazy as I just asked my Google Home AI speaker and she didn't know. I then asked Alexa, Siri and Cortana but nope they didn't know either....

My point is that the wording "several credible causes for the COPV failure" does not imply they haven't experimentally verified that those causes can cause a COPV failure, which you seemed to imply.

Fantastic write up, I've been meaning to attempt this very thing having found the same thunderbolt enclosure and wondering why nobody had used a "low-end" GTX rather than fussing with ATX PSU wiring.

An alternative would be the Wolfe GPU[1]

I really wish we had an Apple "firing on all cylinders" that released commercial products like this.

As a business I'm sure the current product line generates the right numbers in someone's spreadsheet but to me it's just so ...dull.

For the first time since 2006 I haven't updated to the latest macOS and have no plans to. I've seen nothing compelling in it compared to El Capitan.

I wish Apple had better OpenGL or Vulcan (for cross platform games) or eGPU support for internal laptop displays. Instead we have Metal. So far I've not seen an example of a AAA macOS game that actually supports it.

Then again I wish Apple would add an undo feature for the auto"correct" in iOS but obviously they've got their own agenda. :)

You should probably add that GE does not sponsor H1B for foreign workers (if they do for your group then please ignore. I've had GE come for college recruitment and they were very much not willing to even talk to you if you weren't a US citizen/GC holder).
Nah, artisitic differences with the COO about the right way to do things. I think it's holding us back, but the CEO agrees with the COO. It's making it hard for me to make our product as good as it could be and that's a constant source of frustration.
Who says they didn't repro the failure?
Given that the EU has a common external trade policy, that's kind of difficult. Also, closer economic ties with countries outside of the EU are not the raison d'etre of Brexit, but a proposal for a viable alternative economic arrangement that would make Brexit feasible.
I agree, my point is that it is a balance. My example is far to the extreme. And I concede that AirBnB has a reasonable argument that the regulations should apply to them since there are real, and important factual differences in the way they operate.

That being said, as you point out, we should look at the benefit and harm of a policy, if existing business are harmed that is a relevant factor. I think it is reasonable, that has a general and universal rule, companies should operate under the same set of rules. The difficulty is that AirBnB, may not fit into existing categories of an industry and regulatory framework. So how do we determine which set of rules to apply, or whether any should? How do we determine what a company is doing that is subject to regulation?

Perhaps a good starting point is to look and the product/service and customer segment. Thus, where two companies are providing an interchangeable good/service, to the same customer segment, they seem to be direct competitors and as such, I think it is reasonable to apply the same rules or we are allowing one party to benefit from regulatory arbitrage.

With parallel arrays in their pure form, the things in your arrays are always primitive data types like characters, floating-point numbers, or integers, and each array is homogeneous. With nested records, you have heterogeneous data collections (records) and maybe even arrays of them. So, yes, column-oriented vs. row-oriented — or potentially some more ramified structure of rows containing rows containing columns containing rows...

I agree that what kind of arithmetic your computer uses is mostly irrelevant to the memory model.

I'll see if I can clarify these things in the essay. Thank you!
I don't see things in terms of workers vs. employers. I see things in terms of what is morally right and what is good for society. People should not feel forced to come to work when sick. People should not be forced to work while on vacation or pressured to not use their vacation. People should not have their access to healthcare dependent on their employer.

Go to reddit/r/personalfinance and you'll read lots of stories of people in shit jobs being taken advantage of by their employer. A society that allows people without money/education to be exploited is not a good one. In the U.S., from my perspective, we have a "I've got mine, fuck you" society. I'm not exploited at my job and I have a very comfortable existence. However, many of my fellow countrymen are not so fortunate.
16 - 2016. 12 - december. So 1612.00001 should have been the first doc submitted on Dec., but it turns out the first Dec. 1, 2016 (submission date) article is https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.00083

Guessing the date cutover is tripping over timezones.
I haven't researched this problem deeply, so maybe someone can help me understand. Isn't any leap unit just a separately statable number that is used to translate between representations, very similar to time zones and DST?

Computer clocks ought to track actual elapsed time, but then systems should exchange that elapsed time and carry with it this metadata forming a context-appropriate representation, no?
What disappears? Let me know @Gargron@mastodon.social or per e-mail eugen@zeonfederated.com

So... effectively, a tiny house that you don't have to drive yourself?

Look into mobile tiny houses. I already live in one and travel around at will. It is very freeing, being able to work anywhere and travel on a whim.

There are container houses on the market. They usually run $40k-$95k for a finished home.

A lot of the cost is clearing and disposal of the extremely hazardous materials used to coat the original containers. There is about 1,000 lbs of toxic materials that needs to be stripped off a standard container before it is safe to live in.
My only experience is in the NYC area where the trains are notoriously over-crowded, in need of repair/replacing, and very hard to enjoy during busy hours. And trying to work on those trains is futile. So needless to say, I'm not a fan.

Some people have the constitution to make long commutes regularly. I am not not one of those people.

Best of luck to both of you.
Maybe it's too soon, but I wonder what Disney will do about ep9. I'm thinking she may have been extremely central to the storyline, perhaps some sort of mother/son/prodigal son forgiveness story like Luke and Vader in RotJ, but sadly that can't happen now, and I think it'd be disrespectful --especially while her family is still in mourning, to pull some crazy CGI stunts and bring her back to life.
Then you end up with a lot of well educated janitors and tomato pickers. Not everyone can be upwardly mobile and become a millionaire with no one left to fill the void of low level poorly paid jobs needed to support them.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in Greece, Europe)

Recent graduate of Information Engineering, ex 'Industrial Informatics' (Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology in Greece).

Latest Project Keywords: Golang, PHP, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, XenForo, Discourse.

I've got plenty of experience (5+ years) in forum software and blog migrations.
I'm also currently learning Rust.

Will be conscripted in May for 8-month military service and I'm pretty much open for relocating afterwards (in December).
My rate is 11-15 Euros/hour and I can work full time until May.

Why isn't there a Google for the law?
FWIW, with my new T460 (likely exactly the same touchpad hardware as the T460s mentioned) on Fedora 25, the palm detection is actually pretty good. In a typing situation (recent keyboard events) it's engaged and I see the cursor sit rock solid, but if I remove my hands for a few seconds, replace them on the home row without typing, and then wiggle my palms I can see events generated.

This is IMHO exactly the desired behavior. Not sure whether this is a feature of Xwayland or Gnome...
> And for all the trouble drug gangs cause in Mexico, they kill fewer people than car crashes.

Debatable, actually. War on drugs related deaths are >250,000 in 10 years by some counts. Car crash related deaths average 24,000 a year in Mexico. But the thing is that violence related deaths are worse than car accidents in one significant way: they erode people's trust in others and the feeling of safety. They lead to more conservative risk-taking behavior and have far reaching consequences on people's mental state (would you react the same if you hear that a university classmate died in a crash than if you learn he was killed by armed cartel members or the army as collateral damage in a clash?). Also, beyond the deaths: large-scale organized crime exacerbates corruption, imposes costs on businesses (extortion), harms free press, etc, etc. Drug trade in Mexico is definitely a national crisis, in a way I don't think people who don't live there quite understand (no, is not a Mad Max-like hellhole, no, not everything looks like in the movie "El Infierno"[1], but that doesn't mean is just a "localized" crime problem in the sense that gang violence in certain cities of the US is, is an entirely different beast when parts of the country are known to be primarily under organized crime control).

In terms of the original comment, Mexico can't easily go against the US in these matters. But even if it did, the US market would still be both lucrative and illegal, which means the drug cartels would continue operating much as they do now. It would still not be worth it for them to obey Mexican law and it would still be worth it to them to fight for control of drug routes. Legalization in the US would mean competition from Pfizer, GSK and the like, which might actually hurt the cartels. Legalization in Mexico would be pretty much meaningless on its own.

Do you know how many times Poland has been invaded or partitioned in the past 300 years?

How about all the map redrawing in Europe over the past 1000 years? I'm guessing this too was completely amicable and was primarily just an excuse to ramble across the Prussian countryside? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2LgiMMGf6Q

I would support an effort to remove the copyright protections of all works that were created before Jan 01 2001. Making all works from the last century available for not only the current generation but an actual gift for future generations. All those works no matter the idea would now be re-imagine,expounded upon, improve, and distributed wider for all peoples. There is fundamental no reason to at all to keep such works under such protection it only hinders the growth of culture,society and humanity.
As well as supporting efforts to repeal these century long protections of bodies of work by many organization mention in the comment section.
I find Adam's book very thought-provoking, but I'm not at all persuaded that his approach is safer. He advocates run-time bounds-checking on every memory access, but of course that only works to convert one kind of program failure into another, and then only potentially — if you're indexing the points "table" with a circle index, you're only ever going to get a detected error if there are more circles than points. The corresponding bug in a struct-based program is a compile-time error (although, in C, only since V7 UNIX; in V6 all struct fields were in a single namespace).
Yes. In many circumstances, many people want varying, controllable degrees of orthogonality between their social, and professional, communications and relationships.

"seen on HH:MM" and the like become dark patterns -- pushing us to serve the platform, rather than the platform to serve us.

(A somewhat similar circumstance, with much debate and several perspectives, on the "true names" controversy of some years ago. "What" versus "who". Spam control. Content versus appearance. Personal versus professional. Public versus private.

"True name" policies turned a lot of this from "opt in" to "opt out", or no choice whatsoever.

Social media went from being something under the user's control with respect to their own participation, to a thorn in many users' sides.)
She replied that the young tech talent that they recruit
doesn't demand it they only look at the top line salary and
don't calculate the amount that they are earning per hour.

The explanation doesn't make sense.

1. At the "large tech employers," the young talent couldn't demand it as they have limited power. There's plenty of substitutes at the margins. Both parties know this.

2. Employees surely calculate $/hour. It's cute to derive a minimum wage salary when you spread wages across more hours, but earnings/career comparison stops there.
