Brown meat refers to poultry's legs, it's different from red meat (beef). I'm not aware of any study that shows brown meat to be more dangerous than chicken breasts?
Again, not profits, collapse of the financial system.

The problem was: how do you combat fear? The LIBOR submissions were pretty transparent and investors were using it as a way to guess which banks would be the next to fail. I guess the BoE either thought they needed a short term solution / didn't have the time or appetite to change the way LIBOR was submitted. Or they thought that if they were hidding individual bank submissions (which they ultimately did), it would only aggravate fear.
Yes and it was also a while ago since I studied. Your numbers seem correct. Extra health insurance is often provided to you by your employer though. With standard health care a broken leg is the same price as an ear infection. Extra insurance in some cases equal a doctors apointment within the hour instead of waiting a day or so. 25 days = 5 working weeks. Our parental leave is outstanding.

My point was not to say we have not come a long way in Sweden. It was to question if that really makes us feel less like slaves to the system. My view is we have built this system to make sure we have a happy work force. Allthough that might not sound sinister, it does make me feel part of a system that it is hard to opt-out from.

I definetly feel like a slave to the monetary system. But this is already way off-topic.
I did not know that. Thank you for the correction.
This may be related to farmers not taking the tractors to repair shops.

The automotive component I worked on was firmware updated every time the customer took the car to a service for eg. to change oil, and an update was necessary.

The tools needed for this were pretty expensive though, and needed some expertise, as the process was somewhat complicated. I understand why this is not trusted to owners.
The LIBOR rates were constructed by the BBA phoning around the banks, and reporting an average of the numbers they came up with. How would the BoE "explicitly" change that? By telling the BBA to lie? I don't imagine you'd find that "fair".
I took this as an opportunity to finally try out mu. Very readable code!

Is there a way to write a string that ends with a backslash? The way `slurp_one_past_backslashes` is used seems to make that impossible.

EDIT: I thought typing a literal 0 byte might work, but apparently mu uses a different mechanism to delimit strings in memory.
From a different article on this subject [1]:

> "If a farmer bought the tractor, he should be able to do whatever he wants with it," Kevin Kenney, a farmer and right-to-repair advocate in Nebraska, told me. "You want to replace a transmission and you take it to an independent mechanic—he can put in the new transmission but the tractor can't drive out of the shop. Deere charges $230, plus $130 an hour for a technician to drive out and plug a connector into their USB port to authorize the part."

Back in my Econ classes we were taught that Libor was this atomic-clock-like gauge that objectively and impartially measures interest rates with absolute precision. Turns out that isn't exactly the case.

We know that some commercial banks that participated in rigging it - the article mentions about employees of Barclays who and got caught, convicted and jailed for rigging Libor. But if the Bank of England has exerted pressure one way or another on Libor the claim that it is a a 'precise' interest rate gauge determined by the 'free market' are starting to look increasingly more questionable.

I think the layout issues go beyond not being responsive. I usually don't mind at all to just center on the main article text and read in the general layout. However, the article layout assumed such a huge screen width that it's impossible to read on an iPhone without coming in and manually dragging left and right as you read.

Thanks for the reference to MicroLEDs, I've downloaded a bunch of stuff to catch up on them, I had not realized they had become a 'thing' as it were.

They are however a bit more speculative than OLED. I was looking at an LG OLED television in Fry's (just $6K :-)) and the contrast is really nice. I bet it really pops in a low light room as well. So an 'in production' house vs a 'production hopefully in a year' house seems the more prudent bet?

And the other interesting bit is everyone is thinking phone, phone, phone. Why not a competitor to Surface Hub which appears to be making Microsoft a solid margin? Why not have a 'Google' TV which is just that, the entire screen and everything that hangs on the wall. You talk to it with Google Home, it shows stuff from the Internet and boring old TV shoes etc. The first Google TV effort was pretty doomed but maybe as a way to augment your TV (new YouTube TV is out), your phone, and your general notes place? That might be Google thinking the long game there.

This really saddens me.

I spent a week or so on Lady Elliot Island more than a decade ago, snorkelling every day. Because it is a protected area, the fauna are unafraid of people. I would dive down into these cavernous bowls of coral and be surrounded by schools of fish, rays, turtles. It was amazing.

I live in Europe now, but I always hoped to take my children there to see it one day. Seems there won't be much to see.
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

I agree, it's not a solution. But maybe not doing that anymore is enough. Maybe not, and we need to investigate more. It reminds me of DDT. Oh gosh, that's useful but problematic, let's be super careful using this in the future.
I understand that, but it's not reasonable to ask that the VM intrusively modify the filesystem without the guest operating system knowing about it: therefore the "correct" solution is some guest userspace utilities for the user to install, which perform these operations from inside the VM. (If a 5 in a file changes to a 6, then rather this change happening from outside the VM, to the total surprise of the guest OS, as though you pulled the hard drive, mounted it in another computer, modified that one value, and remounted it in the original computer, all without the guest OS even being aware that the hard drive had been unmounted or modified, instead, it should be performed by a utility from inside the VM.)

The difference between this proper approach, and what you call "hacks" is minimal, and basically a question of packaging. To be clear, I agree that the VM developer should write and package these utilities for every major guest operating system it supports.

WHEN TO OUTSOURCE SOFTWARE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Keeping html independent from css would be nice thing for sure. But since reusable stylesheets from these libraries are used we need to have also stylesheets to be independent from html. When we have just 'two things' both of those really cannot be independent from each other. So some trade-off is must.

One interesting way I have tried is to add third thing. So I can create stylesheet with visual class names (or use 3rd party) and html with semantic ones. After this I create separated stylesheet-html mapping. In practise it's just a sass where I extend semantic classes with visual ones.

I haven't tried this yet on scale but it's very handy for example mapping icons at least.

My company has been using SUI in production the past 3 years and it's been absolutely great, sure it is big, but that translates into flexibility and speed of development as well as having a production-ready framework that we know can handle anything thrown at it.

I've seen some mentions of jQuery, I don't think that's a bad thing at all - the framework uses the plugin system so fully that without jQuery, I'm sure the framework would be even bigger and less flexible. The added advantage is that other jQuery plugins work without adding anything.

So can this be extended to movie-plot-like memories be wiped, or false memories implanted? How did they identify the memories to be targeted and where they were stored?

There's lots of exciting work to reverse-engineer and extract rules from software neural nets. Can the same be possible in hardware nets too, or will attempting to measure it interfere and distort it?

Yeah but they could have requested the BBA not to publish individual contributions. I guess they thought it wouldn't have been enough.
I have worked in automotive and the testing of a software release took about 1 month for a ~150 member team. Yes, documentation because legal requirements was as much as 10% of the human labor, but the tests ran for a month in simulated environment.

This was not a particularly large software, about .5MLOC total with 3rd party RTOS as well (not in our test scope).

The tests did find unexpected bugs, as the dynamic behaviour of the system was much harder to reason about than about the single components, and sometimes pretty weird system effect kicked in.

I'd also not trust this to small teams, this is simply way more complicated than one presumes prior to experiencing it personally.
Most stations have that device configured to only automatically take over air for the most egregious emergencies, with the rest aired on a discretionary basis. You generally only see full auto relays with full auto stations; pretty much every station with a butt in the big seat is wired discretionary, with individual station policy regarding which alerts to rebroadcast. I wouldn't generally retransmit a severe thunderstorm warning, for example, though I repeated every test. To my knowledge, only a Presidential Activation of EAS bypasses everything, and by law there's a book next to every eligible transmitter that describes the procedure for that (it's a bit unique).

For those who don't know, the tones -- which are indeed received from well-known designated primary stations -- come with a textual representation of the bad news, which is printed out on a little receipt-size slip from a box called a EAS-911 (a few vendors make them). One of two things happen next: either the EAS-911 takes over air automatically and rebroadcasts the bad news as it is received, or it is recorded instead and a little button begins blinking to indicate that the device is waiting for you to give it permission to take over air and rebroadcast the bad news. Pretty much everyone with resources is set up the latter way, partially for the very reason mentioned.

The real ugly scenario with the automatic relay stations is when the primary forgets the "I'm done" tones, and then every station in the state plays WGN for an hour. That's happened before. Fines have been levied.

Worse, mathjax is very popular with statically generated sites. Any pelican or Jekyll website you see with maths probably has this CDN hardwired into it. I am involved with 2 projects where we hard wired it into our docs.

Worse, the full download is massive, so it's tempting to not local host it. There are some cryptic messages about reducing the size, which link to out of date pages. If they were going to do this, they could at least have decent docs on how to locally host in a small size.

The thing that I'm not super clear on is how IoT will benefit many of us when the data will likely be owned and kept close to the various companies that are harvesting all of it. I see why it would be advantageous of a smart Mr. Coffee sending data off to its servers so they can collect usage data, then they can improve their product and marketing.

But the real breakthroughs would be in sharing this data openly. Maybe people can make connections between coffee consumption and say...obesity, car accidents, productivity, family spending habits, etc, etc, etc. Like we might be able to put massive data to a lot of the experiments we hear about all the time that use a tiny case study of maybe 20 students at some university. And not only that but people could begin to act on the data and develop new products, solutions and services to our benefit and continue to get more data about them in real time. That's the advantage I see to IoT, but I don't see it doing much for us in its current stage as companies have no real incentive to share all that data.

Maybe some sort of open IoT is what we need to get things moving the right direction. But then we all know security is still a major pitfall of IoT to begin with.
See my comments elsewhere in the thread for an example of people/organisations that are involved in some fairly serious activism around these issues. They do exist.

In a world where extremely dangerous phone chargers are getting bought just because they are cheap, I cannot imagine that your views are correct. People are putting active fire hazards into their homes and other people are building them in full knowledge that the components used are inadequate.

Yes, people should be able to repair their machines and change single components but it should be guaranteed that basic safety functionality is working. I'm not talking about something where a farmer personally modifies their own machine. I'm talking about manufacturers that build cheap replacement parts.
Ah, you're right! Trailing backslashes can't be represented. I need to rethink this.

If you want to construct it from scratch, strings and arrays in general are prefixed with their length. put-index on the final index would be the workaround.
Humans and many other animals have been eating meat for billions of man-years (this is a software site after all), I kinda doubt "actually quite dangerous" is a fitting description. Bungee-jumping without a rope is "actually quite dangerous", for example.
I can see how IoT is extremely useful in industrial and infrastructure applications (e.g. monitoring leaks in pipes). I can see how if I was a retail store I'd wanted to track everyone moving through my shops. But ... are there any compelling consumer applications? Lights that change color don't count. Connected thermostats---I've never understood the appeal.
Great to see a reporter do so much digging into an unknown person's life, but the writing style was so sparse and dumbed down it actually made the article less readable. There were several captions longer than entire paragraphs, which wasn't difficult given that the majority of the paragraphs in the article are single, simple sentences. A quick read-through indicates that the longest paragraph is a whopping three sentences. Is this the level of literacy and attention span editors at BBC expect of the average reader?
Although that comment is unconstructive and probably wrong, I'll just point out that pretty much all of Google is a "web app".
If I was on a night out usually I wake up quite early, like around nine. Then I feel the hangover of course but I don't go to bed again, instead have my coffee and start working. That day I feel tired and less energetic but I know of course that this is from the nice night out. When I arrive home at night I'm longing for bed but don't go to bed anytime sooner or later than I'm used to go, which is around half past 11. Then I sleep in within a short amount of time after having read a few pages in a novel. That's my hangover day novelty.
Websites implementing their own scroll behavior irritates me to no end. Scrolling is implemented pretty damn perfectly in every browser and OS I use. I really would love to have someone explain why they feel they need to tinker with it. In addition even if it's not broken it makes the website feel off because you are expecting a certain behavior and it's just somehow different and makes me feel even a little sick to my stomach. Similarly to narrow FOV in a game.

And that's the point where you went wrong. (-:

It is wrong to assert that Windows NT has no message passing "at all".

The original design of Windows NT had applications opening LPC connections to a server process, the Client-Server Runtime SubSystem, and sending it messages for many API calls. Although the graphics system has since moved into the kernel and then partly moved back out again, some of this application-mode message passing to a CSRSS server process remains in Windows NT even to this day. All interaction with the LSASS is also client-server application-mode message passing.

And there is a lot of message passing inside the kernel. The entire I/O subsystem involves passing around IORPs, which are messages.

Can confirm that United Airlines directly employs aircraft mechanics who are free to service as they see fit, and they use hardware that is not DRM'd to the plane.

Can also confirm that aircrafts can do more damage than tractors if things go wrong.

Like the JDs in the article that are so complex that they can steer themselves, aircrafts also do this!

I don't see how tractors are any different either. So JD should cut out this rent-seeking bullshit and stop pretending it's in the best interest of anybody other than their shareholders.
CodeXL can do that (at least on Windows)

I think VTune can do OpenCL analyses, I don't know whether it has any graphics debugging capability (quite a lot of features are Windows-only or annoying to set up on Linux [because who needs a kernel with a stable ABI?], including managed analyses [1] :(

The simple truth here is that most development happens on Windows and thus most development tools are developed for Windows. This is almost universally true, with some notable exceptions (e.g. Valgrind can be a killer app; nodejs is so unportable that it requires a new Windows subsystem to run).

[1] That is, VTune detects whether and which invasive runtime you are using and is able to descend into and analyse what the runtime is doing. E.g. with a Python managed analysis VTune replaces all these recursive gibberish calls like PyEval_EvalFrameEx with the Python traces that it's executing. When I first used that mind=blown. Sadly, Windows only. But even then VTune is, without consciously trying to make this comment an advert, one of the best (if not the best) performance analysis tools I've ever used.
