Depends on the crime, yes, B&E's aren't generally done by people picking locks. But someone sneaking in, planting something or making a copy of something and sneaking out is a little harder to detect since generally there is little obvious forensic evidence of lock picking and generally police just chalk it up to you must have forgot to lock your doors when such crimes are investigated.

IOW, there is no hard data to say either way. If you're protecting some one from stealing your TV or your concerned with smash and grabs, then yes, locks aren't generally your weak point, all though they can be. If you're worried about someone planting a RAT device in your network closet, or key logger on someone's PC, undetected, then yes, it's a concern.
You've watched Reign Over Me one too many times.

Just kidding. But there really are no consequences. You get smashed by one colossus and respawn. Pure escapism.

It is a beautiful game, though. It's thought highly of maybe because the writers didn't do too much. Too many devs think you want to spend six hours watching their bad writing.
>Write barriers are not necessary if an object is in a nursery, which is true for most objects per the generational hypothesis. This is trivial to check based on the pointer value.

Yes but what when it leaves it?

You have to update all pointers to another location.

When it passes to the Gen2 slab all references that point to it need to be updated, and those changes need to propagate to all threads, and all cores. The simplest way to do this is a memory barrier.

Well the real simplest way is just "never multi-thread" and this is OCaml's GC is so fast. No write barriers, 1 thread only, final destination.

"Water immersion resulted in a greater increase in body temperature compared with exercise, as well as a greater reduction in average arterial blood pressure."

Was that reduction in blood pressure seen after the bath or only while in it?

If after, how long after?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was lower blood pressure while lying still in a bath compared to while performing vigorous exercise. But what about after?
Ah I see. I missed the part that you were more Venmo than stripe. I guess this is the same strategy Venmo took (and they started charging fees as soon as possible, especially given all the people using it for credit card churning).

Sounds like you have a solid business. Good luck getting more funding. I hope it works out for you.
In addition to this, there really is an almost fetish-like following behind the ideas that the Rockefeller's in particular secretly 'rule' or 'ruin' the world.

John D. Rockefeller Sr. stated many times that he believed that it was God's plan for him to: (paraphrasing)

1) Acquire as mush wealth as he could through business.
2) Donate this money to help humanity in the best ways possible.

And he did exactly that. And he did better than anyone else ever has. He didn't do much else. The Rockefeller's are fascinating people, but I think most of us would be surprised as to how little of the 'world-dominating' stuff is true.

It's been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but "Titan: The Life Of John D. Rockefeller" goes into incredible detail on the family. You may not leave with a nice picture of the family, but definitely a different one than some of the comments in this thread. A lot of the private journals and business documents have actually been released to the public and it makes for a fascinating read.

In my first job after college (circa 2007) I got roped into maintaining a ColdFusion website, enhancing a billing system written in C, and, later, working on a Java 1.4 app (which was starting to feel ancient, even then).

I learned something useful from each of those projects. And it's certainly not the case that this work caused my other skills to rot.

If you really, really don't like the work, then there's no shame in admitting that and moving on. But you have nothing to actually fear.
Venture Brothers is a good example of this. Venture Brothers is created by a very small team over a painstaking few years and that process consistently produces higher-quality content and a better story than their peers.
Double-glazing is popular in the UK - but it was a late-adoption: I didn't see it become popular until the early-1990s (I note this would be shortly after the privatization of British Gas, hmmm!)

A contributing factor is the popularity of rented accommodation, including council-owned houses, where the pressure to invest in double-glazing is less (as tenants are responsible for gas/elec bills, but landlords are responsible for capital-expenditures and improvements) - so there's not much incentive to upgrade windows in that case.

But all new houses I've seen built since the late-80s all tend to have double-gazed windows, the majority have white PVC framing, but I see wooden ones occasionally too. I've never seen white PVC window framing turn yellow - my parents had their windows converted around 1994 - now 23 years later the frames are still pristine white - and I'm not aware of any special treatment or care they require.

That said, public perception of double-glazing salesmen isn't the best - they were the butt of many a joke in the 80s and 90s, including Blur's Parklife video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSuHrTfcikU - though I never understood myself, perhaps because they were a commonplace sighting?

That... and even today they seem to capitalize on their public perception with intentionally gauche TV ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgqJPd_YJtE
Of course it's not a coincidence; people who enjoy exercise generally make a habit of it.
It's not that older American cars are more reliable, but that they have enough charm for people to maintain them and a healthy aftermarket to support them. '80s and '90s American cars, on the other hand, were with a few exceptions ugly as shit.

No, people want the thing that is the cheapest to buy, not the thing with the lowest total lifetime cost.
I mean, buy one if you want one. I wouldn't buy it for this reason. It might be sort of good for you, but so are lots of things as research constantly reveals. A 30 minute run everyday will do way more for your health if you're not exercising.

I'm sure it's like a lot of security where attackers aren't necessarily after anyone in particular but will just go down the line until they find a soft target. I've been robbed a couple of times (long time ago). One time they did force open a (probably cheap) sliding door. But the other time a windows was ajar.
Yes. I was very confused when I got a rental car in the U.S. in about 2004 and it had a separate switch and yellow indicator light for "OD". In Europe such a thing was so ancient history that I'd never seen one and I had to read the car's handbook to understand what it meant.
Yes they each have a better idea, but the intersection of their proposals is pretty much just that. Why do you think they still make a big fuss over the Turing Test?
They're the current technological solution, but they're essentially proxies to condense a naturally occurring process into a more efficient process; weight machines and treadmills provide an efficient method to work out whatever systems your exercise regime is designed to affect. But what you're after is the resulting byproduct of that exercise, not that exercise itself.

Similar to how biking uses the same inputs as walking, but makes it more efficient. So if your goal is to get somewhere as efficiently as possible rather than walking in and of itself being the goal, you're going to bike instead. Then comes along the car and you're no longer constrained to the natural capabilities of your body in order to travel, and it's a whole new ballgame.

Exercise has a lot of health benefits because it causes things in the body. From stretching things to tearing muscle fiber to causing your body to generate and release different hormones and steroids (and many, many other effects).

The technological solution the OP wants is something which simulates the effects of exercise on the body but without the exercise itself. Such as nanomachines that can be designed to stress test different components of the body and keep them active or that cause the same types of micro-tears in muscular tissue that weight lifting does. As we learn more about the body, and we make smaller and smaller machines that are capable of operating from within the body, we can leverage those machines and that knowledge to directly maintain an ideal state of fitness regardless of externalities such as an individuals predilection or capacity for the level of working out needed to maintain that ideal state.

Can you share a "behind the scenes" of what it took to get Distill off the ground? You hint at dotting your "i"s and crossing your "t"s, but an explicit manual would be useful. Other communities than just machine learning could benefit from something like this, and if Distill succeeds in being taken seriously by your research community, it would help to have a playbook in which to replicate that success in other research communities as well.
KV Accounting is a predictable personal accounting app.

Support for Intel's Broadwell / Skylake range is actively being developed in the `drm-next` branch found at https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/

Current effort is to reduce the difference between "upstream" FreeBSD (being 12.0-CURRENT) and the project branch, and make the code ready for merging into head.

TrueOS merges that `drm-next` work on an ongoing basis. Likewise, if you're on HardenedBSD, there are binary updates via hbsd-update, or if you'd rather compile things, clone the `hardened/current/drm-next` branch from https://github.com/hardenedbsd/hardenedbsd-playground.
Why does torvalds/linux have “infinity” contributors?
寝る(neru) and 眠る(nemuru) are different verbs. Different kanji in writing, own conjugations.

Neru tends to indicate more intentional sleep (arranging to go to sleep: deciding to retire to bed, to lie down etc), whereas nemuru is spontaneous sleep (falling asleep --- and not necessarily lying down).

"Nerarenakatta" has the possible interpretation of something like, "I couldn't sleep (because of no opportunity to get away from activity and lie down)" whereas "nemurenakatta" is "I couldn't fall asleep" (insomnia).

I think if you stayed up all night studying and so because of that you couldn't sleep, that's when you might best use "nerarenakatta". I couldn't sleep (because I needed to do something else with the time, not due to failure to fall asleep).
It's positive sum with respect to utility, not money. Because utility increases less-than-linearly with money, a 10X loss is more than ten times as bad as a loss of X. So a guaranteed loss of X is better than a 1/10 chance of a loss of 10X. It may even be better than a loss of 9X, and since the insureds are paying 10X in the aggregate, you have a margin to cover overhead.

hm... although weird, it seems more likely to me that the errors were produced by humans retyping the document. Since c doesn't look like v, but c is right next to v on the keyboard. Other examples of people misspelling "-ice" as "-ive": https://youtu.be/ZtIVWWpZRJQ?t=51 And the example in another comment of pick -> pikc is also more indicative of a human typo rather than OCR. Dunno why they'd retype the document though...
One thing I don't hear mentioned very much w/ exercise and calorie burning is that your body continues burning calories after working out and exercise changes the rate that your body burns calories throughout the day.

For my workouts, I've found sprints and lifting weights on the heavy side to be great because my body spends a lot of energy rebuilding that muscle for a day or two after.

I'd be surprised if baths can change your resting calorie burn rate but I could see them improving circulation and heart health. People should probably still exercise though. Heh, finally I have an excuse to get that jacuzzi in the living room...

Depending on tax law throughout his life, and his ability to find loopholes, that $900M was _on top of_ what he paid in tax. So unless you have evidence that he paid no or very low taxes, what you're saying just doesn't hold water.

Not to mention that you're comparing the donations of a single person to the collective net worth of 200 people. More fair would be to compare that $900M to David Rockefeller's net worth, not that and all his very-extended family.

"Go vs. Rust" was initially only a thing because 1) Google initially positioned Go as a systems programming language, 2) early prototypes of Rust were very Go-like (with both a garbage collector and segmented stacks), and 3) web developers who were already used to seeing Chrome vs. Firefox found it an easy conceptual extension. But Go hasn't been marketed as a systems language for a long time and Rust removed all its Go-like features years ago; the "Go vs. Rust" that we still see is just residual fallout.

You are right, I did not specify that, so I will try to now.

First, I don't believe in chance. That puts me pretty much out of the mainstream right there, even among christians, but so be it. I don't really want to get into a lengthy philosophical / theological debate about it, since I have found such debates to be utterly fruitless, but basically I believe that God orders our lives for our good and his glory.

Anyway, if something happens to me or if I do something that has negative consequences, that is between me and God with regard to personal consequences. Do I have faith that he will provide? Do I have faith that, even if he doesn't, it is still for my ultimate benefit? It's easy to say I do when everything is going well. It's quite another to demonstrate that I do in adverse circumstances.

So, second, to me, buying insurance is an act of unbelief. It's fine with me if the rest of the world wants to do it, but I cannot, since it would be a clear demonstration of my lack of faith that God will provide, even if that provision is what the world calls catastrophic. (Perhaps a little catastrophe is just what I need to make me pay attention to something I've been neglecting! This is not a popular view, obviously.)

Here's an article that explains it better than I have here, but I will say ahead of time that it will be unlikely to make sense if you do not believe in God.

"[It should be a serious question with a child of God, ere he avails himself of an assurance company, whether in the matter of fire or life, "Am I, hereby, distrusting God? or, am I seeking by human agency to counteract divine visitations? There is something sadly anomalous in a Christian's insuring his life. He professes to be dead, and that Christ is his life: why then talk of insuring his life? But many will say, "We cannot bring Christianity into such things." I ask, Where are we to leave it? Is Christianity a convenient sort of garment, which we put on on Lord's day, and at the close of that day take it off, fold it carefully up, and lay it on the shelf till the following Lord's day? It is too often thus. People have two characters; and what is this but the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy? Insurance offices are all very well for the men of this world, who should certainly avail themselves of them, inasmuch as everything around and within is so uncertain, but to the child of God, all is sure. God has insured his life for ever; and, hence, he should regard insurance offices as so many depots of unbelief.] These things do very well for men who are only governed by now; but the disciple of Christ is to be governed by then. This makes all the difference; and truly it is a serious difference."

If the lower and middle classes of a country don't benefit from globalism(like the US right now), political instability and widespread disdain for globalism will result. It may be a net positive overall, but it doesn't mean much if everyone around me is losing their jobs. If globalism is that important to lift other countries out of poverty, then we need to find a more sustainable way to carry it out.
That would preclude most research data.

I had no idea what that movie was until I googled it.

I mean the ultimate consequence, of destroying creatures that (seemingly) harbor no ill-will to anyone not attacking them for the sake of someone who's dead, in a desperate attempt to bring them back to life. The consequence of the main character not truly achieving their goal, and, even if they had, what of them would remain for the person they loved?
> Video games are more profitable than films now. Critical theory surrounding video games simply needs to rise to the level of other mediums before more people will respect it.

This was one thing particularly frustrating to me about #gamergate. Much of it seemed like a backlash against serious game analysis (feminist or otherwise). It's one thing to personally ignore any deeper meaning baked into games (intentionally or not), but it's another to ask that no one even try to root it out.
ELI5 style; basically there were a number of hype-driven valuations that were way too high, and when the resulting IPO happened, a lot of people lost a lot of money. When this happened enough times, investors got scared of technology and swung the other way.

Pets.com [1] is a great example of this. They spent 11.3 million on marketing despite having a half-million in sales for their first year. Then they IPO'ed way too early, and their initial stock at $11 dollars fell to 50 cents six months later.

We collectively didn't really understand how a lot of internet business models were supposed to work, and that caused a lot of non-viable businesses to float on hype. When the hype went away, all these businesses got culled, and only a few survived (like Amazon). Some of them were just too early for their time, and modern iterations of the same business models were able to take advantage of key differences like the prevalence of mobile devices.

In a sense, its a natural human response to new paradigms and technologies. Internet business valuations from mid-1990's to today follows almost perfectly the hype curve [2] model.
