Ouch, this is much more thorough than my attempt to debunk the post.
No. But I'm running the company they work for or are vendors to. Or I'm representing my consulting company to a client. They guess the rest.
This makes much more sense, then you can make soylent with it.
I am saying this as someone who loved C for my entire life, when I was in college I did implement most of the assignments in C when prof said python is okay, but I did in C because I loved it and I thought I would learn more by doing them in C.

So no hard feeling involved.

There is no reputation to defend. You mean security problems everywhere ? do you mean old, broken, nasty build systems ? Do you mean not having single good package management ? The language (C/C++) is clearly intractable (parsing wise), it is 2017 and we don't have single good IDE for them (I don't use IDE at all, but I am sure you agree with me how much an IDE is important for newcomers)

If that is the case I think writing assembly would outperform C like shit, and with that logic asm is much better than C.

And to be honest, I am in job finding phase and preparing for jobs, if this wasn't my plan right now, I would abandoned C and C++ (even C++{11,14}) for Rust in heartbeat.

The language (Rust) clearly is awesome language, well designed, does have perfect build system (have you seen Cargo ? it is wonderful), flexible language design (you can write OS in rust -not having runtime- and you can write web app in Rust). I am stuck with C and C++ for now, but if my opinion counts , Rust is superior in every aspect to C/C++.

Even if Rust were slower a little bit (+/- 10%) I wouldn't mind. Because its ecosystem is so healthy I would trade 10% of my program performance to having something as nice as Rust.
Vancouver islander here - tbh, Vancouver Island is mostly okay too. If you look at the map, you'll see that a huge peninsula shelters the most populous area (Victoria) from tsunami. Most of the smaller towns are on the inside passage. The only places that are in real danger are Tofino, Ucluelet, Port Renfrew, and several small native settlements. It's a shame because those are some of my favorite places on earth, but 90% of Vancouver Island doesn't live there.

(I did the research on this last year after I had a nightmare about tsunamis.)
hah. well hopefully you support http gzip compression. :)

Yes, professional athletes do recovery. They spend time wi th baths, massages and take (legal) supplements to speed the whole process. They also train super intensively, they do not train for 12 hours a day.

If you are not tired after whole day of coding, then you was not coding intensively enough or did not had to solve difficult enough problems. Of course I can slowly hang around easy code for hours. It is different when you are trying to be as fast as possible and still not sacrifice the quality.
>If there's a real "cultural purge", we should expect EasyDNS to go bankrupt for defending groups alleged to be "white supremacist", "racist", and "Nazi".

So, for his claim that there are often unpleasant consequences for being vocally on one side of the cultural divide to be true, they have to specifically happen to him? This is a ridiculous assertion, whether he is correct has absolutely nothing to do with whether he himself faces those consequences.
I thought I had read a blog post by him saying, effectively, that skeptics should hold themselves to a higher standard than they currently do. But after a few minutes of searching, I can't find it, and it's possible that I'm simply thinking of a different blogger.

As far as I can tell, Briggs is Catholic, and he does mock Catholic officials -- including the Pope -- occasionally.
>I originally started using the service out of respect for Guido's work

Guido has nothing to do with Dropbox, apart from being an employee at the company. He is neither the one who created the platform, nor is he responsible for how it operates.

It would be like using Gmail because you respect Brian Kernighan.
But this compiler will add unneeded bounds checking (3-10% perf. hit). A computed goto table would fix that. (on modern compilers).

5% drop after a 30% rally is "tanking"?

Tesla stock will always be volatile it's fine. Stock was under $200 a few months ago.
Density doesn't matter for storing power by lifting up weight, what matters is total weight lifted, and how far.

As far as I can tell, the problem with the heavy rail car method is that it costs too much for the amount of storage you get. One reason I say that is that if the economics if it were good (and I assume they are pretty easy to calculate), then articles that talk about different methods for storing all that renewable energy we are getting would include it, but they rarely if ever do.

Also, unlike other methods like lithium-ion batteries and flow batteries, the various technologies involved in heavy rail cars are already well-developed, so there is little room for improvement once the first few models are developed. I mean, it is not like anyone is likely to develop cheaper ways of making rails or railroad cars.
It's not about reputation management, it's about an unfortunate effect of democracy: the public is put in the position of making policy, and if the public is misled they might make the wrong policy.

On the opposite side of the world, note all the criticism of "FAKE news" and the desire by many people for large corporations collecting data on billions of people to police it. The reason is that a population which doesn't understand reality cannot effectively make decisions about it.

I called no one privileged and attempted to silence no one. I merely observed that tone policing is not actually an assertion that anything I said was false.

Not true.

Back-in-the-day Joe LaFata contributed specially written-for PyPy pi-digits, spectral-norm, mandelbrot programs and they were all shown on the website side-by-side with the CPython programs.

Back-in-the-day I noticed the Python n-body program failed with PyPy, I asked about the problem and was told "we have nbody_modified in our benchmarks" and then I asked them to contribute the specially modified for PyPy program -- and it was displayed on the website within 3 hours.

> The other option would be to have a completely user-hostile installer

I'm unconvinced that a horrible installer is the only alternative, but even if it were, you are asserting that you see subverting OS security mechanisms and intentionally ignoring user intent as somehow not user-hostile?

From my perspective, DB was kinda nifty when it first came out. The gap has been filled by commodity software for folks who can deal with self-hosting, so I'm personally happy. For other people, everyone and their pets wants to offer us all seamless hosted storage; there's no need for a glorified rsync service to be this creepy, evasive and intrusive.

> Otherwise you've lost your user.

I remain unconvinced that the various actions linked in the above were all required for a nifty install experience. Indeed, some of them are only required for forcing "features" on users that many have repeatedly indicated they don't want, after that all-singing, all-dancing install experience is over.

Which, turns out, is a great way to lose your user.
I thought the batteries didn't have the space they needed to expand?
Have you tried or heard anyone trying to tinker with caching attributes (ie. uncached, write-combining, etc) for message passing buffers? I think you do need to be in kernel mode to be able to change the attributes, but you can access the memory in userspace once set up.

Sounds to me like you could have some improvoment in shared-nothing message passing by avoiding traffic on the CPU core interconnect due to unnecessary caching.

That said, I only have experience of tinkering with caching attributes in CPU to GPU communication and I'm not very well familiar with the internals of CPU interconnects so take my words with a grain of salt.
"Make something you can sell" seems like a pretty straightforward strategy.
I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusion (because I don't have the data either way), but I own a late-2015 Macbook Pro Retina and certainly wouldn't classify it as super-thin. It's not particularly thick but it's no lightweight either.
Unsurprisingly even Apple laptops require ventilation; I thought it was common knowledge that you can easily destroy any laptop by running it on a soft, heat multiplying surface like a bedspread....
Treasure hunt for next IT guy. Would you get this one?
I'm not sure I'm able to provide a solid answer, but I would venture to say that to the extent a neuromorphic or neural "deep learning" network relies on an expensive training process, its inherent value becomes more-or-less unique to each specific implementation. Having the source code to build one's own implementation would not replace what could be hundreds of thousands of processor hours spent analyzing petabytes of data. In that case it would depend on whether the trained models were released under the open-source model, or only the underlying architecture.
non-luminous baryonic matter has long been a contender for dark matter, I think the technical term is Massive compact halo object aka MACHO (as opposed to WIMPS or Weakly interacting massive particles) so saying it still requires dark matter is accurate we could rewrite it to 'actually include some possibly non-exotic dark matter'.

Because even though it reduces the amount of dark matter required it still has missing matter.

Elon Musk Is Borrowing Another $150 Million From Goldman Sachs To Buy More Tesla Stock (2013)

An example of what? That the POTUS, who appoints the Homeland Security secretary, could, if they so wished, absolutely influence behavior and/or policy in the TSA?

>Can you describe, as an example to support your assertion, what should have been in the speech

How about something like: "Any malevolent behavior and unnecessary harassement to visitors from border officials wont be tolerated?"
Well, you could, at least for the print part, if that was what you were comfortable working in. LaTex is sort of notorious for being designer-unfriendly (something like ConText might be better if you want more design flexibility). But if you don't actually know anything about book design or typesetting (like most self-published authors) then at least it might keep you from making a true horrorshow by using a common stylesheet.

If you want to do epub/kindle publishing, then you need to be able to output that into the necessary html files those formats are constructed out of. This is a little chore, but a manageable one.

The batteries expanded upon use, and due to the slimness of the phone, they had no room. This caused the conductive chemical layers within the batteries to leak through the porous separating layers, and the resulting reaction caused fires.

To me, that has to do with slimness.
It's not any more complicated to develop for than an equivalent 3d-space game, but almost none of the tropes and techniques that work for a flat experience like playing Counter Strike translate. People are figuring out basics like how to make picking something up feel good/right, really basic gestures and actions take on a lot more importance when you're supposed to feel them as a natural part of yourself. It used to be "press A to open door", now you actually have to open the door, and getting that right takes a lot of trial and error.
> but the prediction is off by several orders of magnitude, the model is wrong. no other field would invent invisible stuff to explain that the model is still right

And yet physics has done this continuously with many discoveries happening in theory first before being verified by reality.

In fact, this is also part of making a model that works. There's no rule that models must be bound by what you only know right now.
I'm not an expert, but I've looked into this in the past when I was curious about it.

There's quite a bit of working that goes into preparing and grading the land. There's also the added expense of building bridges and tunnels - with the speed a bullet train is travelling at, you want to avoid at-grade level crossings where road vehicles could get into the train's path. You also probably want side barriers to prevent cows and other large animals from wandering onto the tracks. This means you'll also need game tunnels or bridges to enable animals to get cross under or over the tracks, especially in wilderness areas. The Wikipedia article about TGV track construction [1] provides some helpful information[1].

Acquiring the land to build the track might also be expensive. Although governments have some power to expropriate land, there's often (usually?) significant cost involved.

Same. I had an issue with a failed charger many years ago, and in addition to getting a new charger, I was contacted by their product safety group for more information on how it was used to make it stronger in the future. Confirmed, they take product safety seriously.

> In fact it could be happening to your battery right now.

Yes, any lithium battery in any device could have this problem. Odds are good that it was swelling before it finally failed, and if the machine hadn't been restarted and instead had been checked, that may have been identified. Would this article be getting the same traction if it wasn't a MacBook?

Tesla owners report about a 20% drop in range in cold weather. The Detroit Free Press got about half way through a test in freezing (11F/-11C) temperatures with the Bolt before getting rear ended, but they were on track to go 200 miles.

Whether the mileage is 240, 200, or 180, that's still more than enough for most people to commute multiple days. Around 70% of US drivers have a one way commute of 15 miles or less.

TUF protects against more attacks than just HTTPS or regular trivial signing methods do (rollback attacks, freezes, mix and match attacks, and helps secure mirrors), and has little to do with HTTPS or raw "transport layer encryption". It absolutely compliments and suppliments HTTPS if you're using it for your downloads, it is not obsoleted by it. (Though, the subtext on the introduction page probably doesn't help this impression by saying "Like the S in HTTPS...")
Thanks for taking the time to address the questions I raised.

the question feels like a trap

Would you elaborate as to how you mean, in particular how I could have phrased it better? I sometimes struggle with how much qualification is necessary when posing questions like this: not enough and a question can come across as pointed, too much and it's just tedious. I'd like to strike the right balance.

One issue your answers do point out is that in this discussion you and 'jen729w are likely working from different premises: I doubt 'jen729w would be talking about positive discrimination if they didn't think there was some sort of discrimination occurring that needed correcting. Given that, disagreeing over solutions is likely inevitable, as you disagree there's discrimination that needs to be corrected for at all. I think it would be better to be upfront about that, so you can either figure out a common understanding you're working from (whether or not there's an issue with discrimination to be solved) before discussing any issues with potential solutions. For example, there's no reason not to ask 'jen729w what their understanding of the problem is. I think this kind of problem happens quite often when discussing contentious issues, which is unfortunate because I think it tends to make the issue worse rather than better.

Thanks again! I appreciate it.

With a market cap of about $40 billion, I don't think they're learning that yet.

If the price drops to reflect something vaguely resembling the company's current size, rather than wild dreams of massive growth, then they might be learning that. But the current price is still way high if you just look at the present or even the near future.
It is not an ad hominem attack. It would be an ad-hominem attack if I said or implied the person was wrong because she was unable to manage her life. I said she was wrong because the data released by Centrelink shows her to be wrong. This is not disputed by the article under discussion, or any parties here.

(Unless you dispute this? Perhaps you think Centrelink's data is forged?)

The comment Yosamino attempted to tone police merely asserted that she is unable to manage her life because she is dependent on centrelink, much like I was dependent on my parents for subsistence when I was a child. Is this in dispute? Do you believe she is actually not really in need of welfare, and is actually just taking taxpayer money for the heck of it?
