> U.S. permanent residents (green card holders) who are outside of the United States may be barred from reentry.

That's huge. I don't mean to diminish the importance of banning new immigrants and visitors on a religious basis, that's bad too. But banning people who have already legally immigrated from re-entering the country is completely nuts. There are no doubt people who have lived in this country for decades who happen to be abroad at the moment and are now stuck away from their homes for an unknown period. There will be people who have lived in this country for decades who will be faced with an illness or death in the family and will have to make a choice between going to visit or retaining their ability to stay where they live.
Informative comment. I would add that government subsidies for industrial production from China and for agricultural production from the US both distort the global economy.

The simplistic textbook economics case for "free trade" simply doesn't exist in the real world because the underlying assumptions do not hold.

> Go look at any list of recently-cancelled television shows. You will be shocked at the number of them that you liked, but have now slipped from your mind. Public memory is fickle and it is very possible to remove even widespread facts.

Change and censorship aren't synonymous and I have no expectation that anything will last forever. But it's easier to ignore and forget about something like a television show than something like global climate change.

My post was in relation to the mass censorship required to create a world like the parent post described.

As for your submarine, that's interesting. Was it this one? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-116053... I'm not doubting the ability to censor things, especially before they become widespread, but climate change will be much harder because it's already a part of our vocabulary.

Yes, we did experience obstacles. I wanted to use MySQL for our project and there was no GA Entity Framework implementation when we started. Oracle is way behind the ball on an official driver and their license (GPLv2) is super restrictive. I found `Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql` to be a pretty good implementation and started contributing. We ported it to use `MySqlConnector` as a base MySQL driver. Both libraries have matured a lot, are MIT Licensed, optimized for performance, and are now used in production.

I think that PostgreSQL has a similar open source story. There's `Npgsql` for a driver and `Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL` for the Entity Framework implementation.

It took some work, but I like that Entity Framework Core allows for it's implementations to be done by the Open Source community. In MySQL's case, we've added lots of MySQL-specific optimizations to the Entity Framework implementation after getting feedback from the community. The new open Microsoft development approach here is great.
I am a professional musician and composer and I never, ever, start from prepackaged drum loops or anything of the sort.

One of the super fun and satisfying things of being a competent musician is how quickly I can create basic components for my compositions.

That said, musicians tend to have a mental library of ideas and techniques they can employ to flesh out an inspired idea.

I also have a library of partially finished unused themes and ideas that I wrote, which I can bring in to start or expand a piece I'm working on.

So a library of my own partially finished writings would be far more analogous to how I work than a bunch of anecdotes and quotes from other people.

The anecdotes and quotes would be more analogous to other people's music which I've heard and internalized, but would never literally reference while I am composing. The last thing I want is those sorts of cut and paste elements to come anywhere near my work.
> In my vision, space-age objects, in the form of small computers, will cross these cultural barriers to enter the private worlds of children everywhere. They will do so not as mere physical objects. This book is about how computers can be carriers of powerful ideas and of the seeds of cultural change, how they can help people form new relationships with knowledge that cut across the traditional lines separating humanities from sciences and knowledge of the self from both of these. It is about using computers to challenge current beliefs about who can understand what and at what age. It is about using computers to question standard assumptions in developmental psychology and in the psychology of aptitudes and attitudes. It is about whether personal computers and the cultures in which they are used will continue to be the creatures of "engineers" alone or whether we can construct intellectual environments in which people who today think of themselves as "humanists" will feel part of, not alienated from, the process of constructing computational cultures.

counter-anecdote: I've had zero issues with FB 2FA and I'm pretty sure many, if not all (I would hope it's an internal policy, but idk...) FB employees have it enabled, so it'd be pretty difficult for them to not notice serious issues with the use of their implementation (as your post suggests exist).
I have to admit to being quite startled. But I just get "Security code was invalid. Please try again". I've tried again several times. I'll see if setting it up on the website works.

I think this is what was predicted early on. There's no reason for FB to keep a separate entity based on high-end PC gaming, especially when its clear Oculus was bought to give Zuckerberg the "Facebook VR" he's been talking about for quite some time. I imagine the end game for Oculus is to be a branding for a mobile platform for VR. I'm not sure if its anyone's interest to keep it alive as a physical product, outside of visors you slip your phone into, and certainly not as a high-end gaming PC product.

Between HTC/Valve and the upcoming Windows Holographic/XboxVR and its upcoming tracked controllers and other competitors on the horizon, I'm not sure what room there is for an Oculus PC product. I also suspect even at the $599 pricing, they're losing money, especially if you consider the millions spent paying for exclusives or even funding full games for what ended up being a market of under 250,000 consumers after 6+ months of hard work and advertising, on top of years of hype. I imagine their projections were in the low millions, not couple hundred thousand.

The problem is that you can find bad code in any language. It's difficult to tell how much that is the fault of the language, and how much is the fault of that particular author.

I'm not defending C++ here, I actually agree with you, but it's difficult to provide decent evidence for its failings.
It is already that, it's been that pretty much all along, but for most of its history you couldn't set the inner and outer variants separately, you had to use "precomposed" values like inline-table. AFAIK you can't set the inner and outer display types via separate properties.

Furthermore there are values which have more complex interactions/natures than just inner/outer e.g. "contents" (which removes the element's box but leaves the descendants — including pseudo-elements), "list-item" (which can be combined with any outer type but only the flow or flow-root inner types, and generates an internal pseudo-element), or the "internal values" which only make sense within wider display context (table and ruby).

That sounds like it could be a reasonable tangent. A less extreme example would be talking about how much longer people can use SHA1 until it is completely insecure: https://sites.google.com/site/itstheshappening/

I think Hacker News could relax a little bit. I see the same thing on StackOverflow. They can be very nit-picky with their rules and guidelines. I don't think I've ever been helped by a StackOverflow moderator who closed a question because it was "off-topic". I found that page because it was one of the top results on Google. I know they're just following the rules, but those rules have left the market wide open for Quora, which is now worth approximately twice as much as StackOverflow.

I'm sorry, I'm doing it again.

That'd invalidate a lot of programs. Just like how the new _ operator in Java is killing a lot of code right now.

With a PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper, you can actively push data into other data sources at the transactional level. You have pub sub functionality built in to let outside systems listen and react to data changes as well.

With SQL Server your options are variations of polling the database. We even tried posing the question of utilizing Elastic Search to developers at the PASS Summit recently and were widely met with groans of "Yea...that's a pain to do with SQL Server. You're basically out of luck."

For an internal standalone system it's great. For moving data into it do do analytics, great. For anything close to a real time web facing system with a growth pattern...absolute nightmare.

Well, of course personal income taxes would be payed in the country you actually live in, and that's fine.

However, according to italian law, if you have a foreign company which is administered entirely by italians, then your company is subject to italian company taxation, which is to say that your company is actually italian in fact. Oh, and the burden of proof is on you! (Reference: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esterovestizione , it's in italian, I know).

What is commonly known as Curry-Howard correspondence (the duality between programs/proofs, computing/math) actually goes way deeper.

The reason is that "computation" is very useful concept but it has taken us ages to define what it means precisely. But that didn't stop people of reinventing it in other areas.

Curry-Howard is only one of many other isomorphism between programs and other areas. See "Physics, Topology, Logic and Computation: A Rosetta Stone"[1] and in particular Table 4 on pg. 66. Curry-Howard correspondence is the last two columns of the table; the other three columns are other "correspondences" in topology, physics and category theory.

I suppose it could be a chicken and egg situation, I think that some people facing difficulties in life look for answers in religion, and there are more than enough people in the religious communities offering all the answers and it is not just Islam, there are plenty of radicalized people in every religion. As far as the west goes and the consumerism, I tend to agree you and can not help but feel that we in the west are in effect worshiping a proverbial golden bull called the all mighty dollar.
Well technically running separate businesses for each salary tier would still get around it. The CEO's pay would be the combination of all of the individual CEO salaries that they would be doing.

Also cleaning and administration services wouldn't be contractors, but services bought from another company. So that wouldn't count either.
On it's own SAT scores mean little to these schools. So, finding it does not correlate with admissions does not actually demonstrate discrimination from the school.

The reality is they accept far more students from 'prep' schools than average and those prep schools don't have the same ratio of Asians as the Ivy applicants. ex: Harvard get's ~17 percent of it's students from New England even though less than 5% of the US population is from New England.

PS: There is also likely an applicant bias where Asians may be culturally more likely to apply when outside of these feeder schools.
Aren't these the currently maintained versions? Anying pre-1.0.1 is no longer being maintained, and they note 1.0.1 will be going away soon too.
No, I don't develop for mobile, so I cannot answer there. Exclusively desktop.

I know Qt5 is pushing towards QML, but QWidgets aren't going away. In fact, I would consider it to be a big mistake to use QML on desktop. It's much slower and doesn't really save the developer anything: pushing state to the JS layer doesn't you any good if you need to keep it sync with the lower layer as well. It's an extra indirection. It also looks completely out of place in all platforms.

QML might be partially useful for drawing on GL surfaces, but again the performance hit will be a huge setback. We use different widget kits for drawing on GL. Since QML and QWidgets are different anyway, there's no reason to stick to it.

Also, QML widgets are improving, but they're all still qualitatively inferior from an user/usage perspective.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try using the glTF format. I'm putting the Collada files in a zip file to save CPU resources on the server, since compression on the HTTP layer would use more server CPU. Also compressing all the models in a single zip file results in overall less bandwith usage, and bandwidth is limited on our server. Do you have more ideas about improvements?
> Isolate your exposed services

Most important part. vulnerabilities need to get patched, period. But I'm a lot less stressed about it when I know my publicly exposed surface is small, and even that has layers in front of it.
Wow. This is more hostile than I ever imagined. Banning 70 million people from Iran when there is no terrorism link for the country is, at best, idiotic. (Iran is anti-ISIS and apart from its conflict with the US has no precedent of terrorism)

Its the program itself that is the proof, not the computer running the program.

In a sufficiently powerful type system you can express any proposition as a function type. A proof of that proposition is also a program. The proof checker is a type checker. If your proof is invalid, your program won't type-check.

Coq (https://coq.inria.fr/) is a real-world example of exactly this.
The discussion about whether this or that is kind of irrelevant. While the Constitution outlines the sort of offenses Congress may impeach for, it also provides no oversight. There's nobody who can prevent Congress from impeaching for an insufficient offense, nor is there anybody who can force Congress to impeach if they don't want to.

Ultimately, all that matters is whether Congress decides to do it. If they do, then it happens. If they don't, it doesn't. The specific offenses and wording of the Constitution will no doubt matter when it comes to how the individual members of Congress think about the issue, but no more than that. In particular, it doesn't really matter what the Constitution says or how a judge would interpret it, only how the various members of Congress understand it, or choose to interpret it.

I think it's fairly likely to happen, in any case. He and Congress don't see eye to eye on many things, and it may not take too long at all before he pisses them off sufficiently to have them get fed up with it. I imagine they'd rather be dealing with Pence anyway.
This will cut off larger diffuse drop shadows, which is one immediate downside I can think of.

To address your last bit about raycasting:

Rendering a scene to another buffer is a good way, although you do need some minor tricks to get information such as position and normal of the intersection, particularly so with high precision.

It's worth noting that this approach causes a very costly GPU/CPU sync when hit testing needs to be done and the scene has changed since last time (because glReadPixels() has to be called to pull in the data from VRAM to RAM). This is wasteful if the scene changes every frame, as you're essentially limiting the performance of your GPU to the performance of your CPU. Rendering to a smaller off-screen buffer (thus sacrificing precision) or calling glReadPixels() at most on each Nth frame and relying on temporal coherence to save you from the most unpleasant false positives and false negatives.

JSYK, Nimitz-class carriers have at least 200 officers, which gives a 16:1 ratio, but as far as I know this doesn't include officers from the air wings (which makes sense, since they have less of a "managerial / college graduate" type job. The math surrounding the 40:1 ratio obviously doesn't work out though, because an aircraft carrier is definitely at least 4x bigger and more complex than a DDG, which has around that number of officers.

Have you considered the possibility that you're actually "copying and pasting" at the subconscious level?

For example when you "create" a drum pattern are you really "creating" it or are you simply remembering a drum pattern you've heard or played before that works well with the song or composition you are making. As you probably know brand new drum patterns are rare. Most of the time the specific instrument choices change but the pattern itself is familiar.

Until their customer service experience is equivalent to AWS... I'll just keep paying google for things like the Maps API but do all my work on AWS.

If the shit hits the fan... I need to guarantees, that as few things as possible could have caused it, and that I can get it fixed as fast as possible.

Google does too much, my accounts are too connected, they associate things to deeply. I can't trust them with my business.

With AWS the only way it stops is I told it to, or there was a billing issue. And if there was an issue, I had it fixed in under 15 minutes with one phone call. Google has yet to even try and give me that kind of experience in ANY aspect of their commercial services that I've paid for as. a customer.
