Time Dancer 1: Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibility
What’s the Current State of Music Streaming Services?
Slightly off-topic, but my guess is that the next 4 years will be the golden age of privacy (in general), file-sharing and maybe even distributed web & federated services - for the US at least.
That pocket knife is a collector's item. It includes most if not all the individual tools available in different models from Wenger. Victorinox also has one.

The problem is that it's not useful as such and I guess most people wouldn't buy one. I wouldn't mind receiving one as a gift though :)

Regarding C++, if I remember my programming language history right, there aren't many languages that are that old, popular, available in so many domains and still evolving to keep up with the times.

Language design has progressed a lot, the hardware has advanced at an exceptional pace. Today's context is very different.

I say we wait another 20 years to see how Rust & D are doing. Python might be old, but it only really became popular this century, as Perl declined. I estimate that C will continue its slow decline with time.
I agree with you that these drivers are getting loans only because Uber and its partners are willing give, and in return gobble up a huge share of the driver's earnings.

But, isn't that like asking 'whats wrong in giving subprime loans?'

The way I see it, at least for Uber drivers in US getting such loans from Santander+Uber, its a raw deal.

In 4-6 years if they pay off the car as earnings continue to slide, they'll be holding onto a car which has 200K+ to 400K+ miles on it and worth not much. And in 4 years there's a very very good possibility that short haul rides could be fully autonomous.
How about when they submit a budget, rather than as a focused witch hunt?

Of course, its not like this political atmosphere would listen to any budget justifications. It's all theater now, it doesn't matter what actual justifications there are, what actual facts there are, or what things actually look like when you spend the time to dive into them. What matters these days is a small number of opinion-makers feel in their hearts, and what they tell their followers to feel with quick one-sentence justifications.
That's my go-to method. I use Notepad++ with "View -> Show Symbol -> Show All Characters" turned on.
>The other problem with it is that the elite of a given culture draw their eliteness from the wealth of the culture itself. The elite of the US and the EU draw their outsized influence from the fact that they are the elite of a wealthy, powerful culture.

The marketplace is global, and wealth is easily siphoned off from other cultures and peoples across the world whom the elite are likely to never interact with otherwise. Cultures do not exist economically independent of others. Where do you think empires get their wealth from?

>If they set about making their cultures deliberately poorer, they are cutting their own influence off by destroying the things they're being the elite of.

This assumes the elite are idealistically patriotic rather than self-interested. On the contrary, they are increasing their margin of power over their subjects by taking their wealth and increasing their debts, and can easily move across to other cultures, bringing their wealth with them, if need be.
Seems like the Heroku website is down
Make backups... changing a file system on such a big user base seems incredible scary for me. Kudos to Apple if it always goes well.
I tossed that route into evtripplanner.com and got results similar to what you describe. However, it doesn't seem to be planning all that well for some reason, because it's making unnecessary stops that add time, and skipping stops that reduce overall time. In particular, it's adding a stop at Newark, DE when a 100% charge could easily take you straight to Woodbridge, VA (there's no advantage to stopping early for the first stop), it's adding a stop in Atlanta itself (which may be necessary if you can't charge overnight there), and skipping a stop in Richmond which cuts down on total trip time when added. Fixing those up, I get a total trip time of 15:05, which is 3:14 more than what Google Maps shows for driving directly. That's about 27%, so still a bit over what I said.

Of course, it'll depend on what you're driving, too! I got those numbers by having it route for a Model S 85 (which is what I have, so that's what it was set to). If I switch it to a P100D and optimize from there, the total trip time is only 13:55. It doesn't have a 100D yet, but that should be even faster, since the non-P versions are a bit more efficient.

Which is to say, if you want to make trips like this faster, the bigger battery helps a lot. Applying some human smarts can optimize things. And it's definitely not the "hop in and go" you can do with a gasoline car. It takes some planning.

Regarding the locations, they're usually pretty good. Most of them are in commercial areas with places to have a meal, grab a snack, or whatever. Not always, though. The West Palm Beach location sticks out at me as particularly bad, being located at a Tesla service center in a pretty industrial area. I'd try to avoid that one next time I make that trip. This is another area where planning helps.

I'm not sure what you're referring to in the article that made it look like the battery wasn't easily swappable. It does talk about doing complicated things to change out the connector, but that's for a hypothetical swap of this new 100 battery into an older car. Tesla apparently changed the connectors at some point, so you'd need to do some work for that. But that wouldn't affect a battery swap station, where you'd presumably have a stock of batteries appropriate for your particular car.

You're right that supercharger stations aren't usually staffed. I have heard that some really busy ones sometimes have people helping organize, but that's rare. Mostly there would be no point in having anyone around. I think the goal was to have the battery swap stations be totally automated, but they never actually got to that point. There would definitely be a huge amount of logistics management and capital expenditure compared to supercharger stations either way. Even if it had caught on, I think swap stations would only have been on really busy corridors like LA to SF, or I-95.

I think the main issue is just that charging technology is good enough for enough people already, and is improving quickly enough. As you can see from the trip times above, the newer batteries already offer a pretty big improvement there, and hopefully there will be more to come.
What I usually do since I've been shown this kind of attack :

- Ctrl-X Ctrl-E: open the default text editor on your system

- paste your snipet here and review it

- save the snipet in your editor, it is now run.
Yeah, through the new Windows control panel ("Settings" -> "Update & Security" -> "Windows Defender"). Windows will hound you about that (and there is no way I know to turn off the nag).

Will ads be textual form or in UI form?
This is great. The only trouble is that it's only got two USB ports and no Ethernet. Secondarily, the USB ports are only 3.0 not 3.1.

Other than that, having a stable KDE Neon hardware platform is really exciting to me. I run KDE Neon full-time on my Macbook Pro.

Any other KDE Neon fans out there?
> because they believed efforts to vaccinate against polio were in fact an attempt to poison Muslims

Or more likely a terrorist organization in those countries started such rumors to turn public sentiment against the west. Oh, and then the USG used a vaccination program to attempt to track down terrorists, which played a role in the take-down of Osama Bin Laden.

It's fair to say that there are compromised NGOs, based on the OBL incident alone.

I'm online for the whole day. Please ask me anything! Your comments, suggestions and questions are most welcome.
Response I got:

"Richard,
Thanks for the note and this is BTC not paypal! Thank you so much for the donation!
Best,
Ben"

He got down to the P.S. I included which said something to the effect of "I'm surprised you're not accepting paypal instead of BTC"

I should have got in when the market was $20 hehe.
This is great forward progress, I much prefer U2F where available. I hadn't even realized that FB supported 2fa, so I just tried to set it up on my iPhone, and either automatically or manually cannot get a test code to work. This tends to reduce my confidence in any other aspect of their implementation
Have you actually watched any of the videos in question?

A lot of them are blatantly, and bizzarely, sexualized.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F4WrhzX-ZU

It isn't so much the obvious product placement and toy-pushing that's disturbing to me, it's the actual content. There isn't really much YouTube can do about it, it's more so the responsibility of the parents to limit their kids free-reign internet consumption.
But these go to 11.
I agree and am pretty sure that at least some of the islamists are people that feel left behind by the west, maybe would like to have a similar live but grow to hate them because they just can't have it and use the religion find likeminded people. And i say that without any elitism. It is similar to trying to understand where all the Trump votes come from when you are more liberal.
+1 on explaing why would you consider it favorable to be outside of the EU, assuming you don't want to keep free access to the EU common market ala norway.
Relative to the alternatives that existed when StackOverflow started, it's been a significant improvement. And relative to its initial gamification efforts the current version is better aligned with its current goals (but questions like "Best Programming Joke" were consistent with the gamification needs around growing the site). But I don't think it has completely got it right because I think right would have a bit more room for treating people kindly and currently StackOverflow gamifies bad behavior toward people asking "homework" questions and this in-clique versus out of clique behavior is one of the things StackOverflow was intended to gamify away.
I still resent the colleges which used "Why do you want to come to Blah University in particular?" as an admissions prompt.

For a graduate program, fine. For an undergraduate program? There are a handful of acceptable cases (Stanford makes you apply to a major), but mostly it's either "it's a good school that I hope I can get in to" or "it's a mediocre school and I need a safety for when Harvard shoots me down". These are places that let you spend 2-3 years 'undeclared', but they put on a song-and-dance about high school students having specific goals.

I'm sure some of them want applicants who do have a specific reason to attend Blah, but even then there's no excuse for the usual system. You can't plan your life around Professor X at Blah, because Blah has a 15% acceptance rate and accepts among qualified students more or less at random.

I remember that UPenn in particular had an essay prompt which was effectively "We're insecure, please praise us for 500 words."

Sustainable agriculture, even at a very small scale, always combines plants and animals.

Absolutely, and that's why I said vegetarian rather than vegan. Working animals for eggs, milk, wool, etc are a good idea. That's still not supporting an omnivorous diet though.

Yeah, second hand story (as in, personal friends are working with Qt/C++/QML, i've fortunately only used Qt/C++) is that QML mostly gets in the way. It's limited and buggy.
Just do everything natively, Qt is truly cross platform and you won't have trouble.
While I agree with the premise, I'd have to say there's quite a bit more artistic value to Smashing Pumpkins or Marilyn Manson, or whatever other 'satanic' artists our parents hated than these strange, mindless kids YouTube videos.
The NOAA budget (http://www.corporateservices.noaa.gov/nbo/fy16_bluebook/FY20...) is 6 billion, a pittance compared to any number of govt expenditures - say, $1.508 trillion for the lifetime cost of the F-35.

The "real money", is in the SSI, benefits, health and human services. If Trump attacks those programs with the same enthusiasm as the (foolishly) politicized environmental ones, that will be interesting.
And U of Toronto has one of the top Neural Networks groups anywhere. UBC is also a great university in a nice city.
I wish that they had chosen colors for their "really nice interactive world map" that weren't so similar on the ends for the colorblind population of the world.
Fwiw, I followed this course at my university[1]. The 'schedule' and 'setup' links provide an idea of what is treated, and the full book is available[2]. The full course took slightly over six months, so yes, it takes a while :)

Fast-growing CoverMyMeds to be acquired by McKesson for $1.1B
Currently we support UI form of Advertisements.

But soon, we will support Event-triggered Contextual ads also. Imagine this -
No banner, no text ad that comes in the way of what you actually want, just event-triggered suggestions. For eg. You book a dinner date at one of your fav restaurants on Yelp bot. After the booking, the bot subtly asks, whether you'll be driving or taking a cab. If you are taking a cab, it will refer you to a cab service and use the data from the on-going chat. No redirection.

I think that's the future. Event - triggered conversational advertisement.
From my understanding, PipelineDB is a fork not an extension for PG. I liked what CitusData did - You download PG and add Citus Extension.
We have a rather lagerish codebase of C++11/14 and we manage to get people coming from other languages (Java / ObjC) to start working with it just fine. Modern C++ is pretty decent and readable (excluding some quirks of STL naming).

Of course good code reviews and testing is a must to help people to get up to speed and stop shooting themselves in the foot :)
What platforms are supported ? Interested to see how this plays out in the market.
It's a formal specification of the concepts you are used to use on GUI programing.

It should have happened 200 years ago. It ain't like our political system has really changed all that much since then (if anything, it's only gotten more democratic, what with the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement and women's suffrage). There has always been the opportunity for a President to be elected without the popular vote.

This exact situation happened in the 1876 and 1888 elections (and a similar but not exact case happened in 1824). The whole "fake news" epidemic also reeks strongly of the 1800 election.
First, thank you for your very reasonable response to my (regrettably) inflammatory post.

But both issues are similarly nuanced.

In the same way I can't just trust that a donation to any random opaque 'help the children' fund is actually effectively helping starving children, we can't just blindly open all borders and take in every tired, poor, huddled mass.

But there is a very, very clear middle ground.

I can research aid organizations to find one that I believe will use my donation effectively.

We can build systems to establish qualified immigrants with the same basic starting point we agree everyone should have (food stamps/healthcare/temporary unemployment assistance/affordable housing) so they can start a life here.
Not really, I think its funny :)

Some content is better, some worse. Arguing with the good content of our own generation against the bad content of the next generation is probably very typical for all of us.
When I took stats classes at UC Berkeley, we covered a lot of ground quickly. The courses (STAT 200A and 200B) where breadth-first in the sense that you just got a short amount of exposure to each concept. But since many concepts build on top of each other, I was needed a way to make sure I fully understood the previous step. I started with writing down the most basic axioms that most of the rest would found on. (Not really in a fundamental sense, e.g., I did not go into sigma algebras and measure theory in more detail, but in a practical sense). The sheer amount of identities and distribution relationships were initially hard to remember, so those I jotted down next. Then more advanced concepts built on the simpler ones, and the process repeated itself.
Correct, you can't run PHP inside the NGINX process like Apache can with mod_php. You have to run a PHP service listening for Fast CGI connections and configure NGINX to proxy via FastCGI to that service. The `php-fpm` package on Linux makes this easy to do.
Do you mean the golden age of private infrastructure, or the golden age of folks combatting a non-private infrastructure? Because from my point of view, privacy in the US is only going to continue to get worse (and that's not even necessarily a dig at the current administration).
In fact I'd rather use native QWidgets as I find it much easier to work with, however as I understand Qt is now increasingly giving priority to QML so I'm trying to use it for this new project.

Also this is a mobile app and it seems Qt Quick is designed for this. I'm curious actually are the apps that you develop meant for mobile devices as well? And if so, how does the QWidgets work on them?

I recognize 'stealing the credit for an idea' - the credit is taken away from me if you claim the idea as your own.

But copying an idea without taking the credit isn't stealing in the English culture I am part of.
This is perhaps one of the more unexpected opinions on C++ I've encountered. When I picked up C++ with Turbo C++ 3.0 in the early '90s, it was already widely regarded as an over-complex behemoth. Donald Knuth said of it in 1993, "Whenever the C++ language designers had two competing ideas as to how they should solve some problem, they said 'OK, we'll do them both'. So the language is too baroque for my taste." The last twenty years, there's no C++ that I would call lean, expressive, and elegant. You give the example of template meta-programming as something added more recently, but Erwin Unruh was printing the primes in compiler error messages not long after Knuth was knocking C++ as baroque. It makes me wonder if perhaps the issue isn't simply that over time you've become more aware of how complex the language has always been?

The language has continued to grow, but it's growing in a rather different direction (or rather in a clear direction): towards a modern, preferred subset that _is_ lean, expressive, and elegant. While C++ is still far from my favorite language, I find C++ today to be far simpler, more expressive, and more elegant than at any other point in the past.

I know it wont' help, but as a US citizen, please accept my apologies for everything that you're going through due to these circumstances being set up by the new administration here. My wife is also an Iranian CS student and she's been here for the past few years. She's looking to go home to see her family for Nowruz, and we're not even sure if it's a good idea for her to do so, despite her being a greencard holder.

I don't think starting from scratch is the difficult part of writing. You can make a reasonable start simply by writing what you'd say if you were to talk to somebody about your topic. The difficult part is editing that impromptu speech into something worth reading. The most useful new writing tools would be tools for editing.

You rewrite the story, and credit the source if appropriate.

The false-negative rate is embarrassing, though - especially with reputable open-source projects. Still, unblocking the file potentially gives a user more time to think about what they are doing.

>I don't understand how people who can understand and believe in things like quantum and multiple realities think that the only outcomes our world are strictly binary: Nazism or Progressive Liberalism.

That's a bit of a strawman, I think; no-one I've heard of, who thinks Trump is a fascist, arrived at that conclusion by saying "well he's not a progressive liberal so all that's left is nazi". It's been more like (whether correct or not) "his policies and views are similar to the historical policies and views associated with fascism, so he could be a fascist."
