I don't get it.

AFAIK the goal of optimizers is to generate faster code while preserving the initial visible behaviour.
If the initial behaviour is undefined, what can an optimizer try to preserve?

Could someone give an example on how it would be possible not to have "UB in the compiler", while still having optimizations?
I also have the latest update. Not really sure what to make of this. If you manually type the punycode URL (https://www.xn--e1awd7f.com) into your Notepad or Wordpad and then copy THAT and paste it back on the following line, does it convert?

Hmm, the only iOS device I have at the moment is an iPhone 5C. I'll try it on more. It works anywhere, but it happens to center on the UK for the moment. I'll work on examples; on short; I wanted to find neat stuff along routes (I'm headed from Dublin to Killarney - but there's this cool castle in Cashel on the way!) and it was kind of a pain with single-point oriented travel sites.

I had per-game profiles that would reboot straight into the game, and then back again into the previous profile on reboot. I've been slowly learning that this kind of thing was a rite of passage back then. But for some of us it was our first exposure to "serious" system scripting.
Being able to use both major brands of gpu, being able to adopt tech when it comes out not when Apple rolls it out.

Alternatively how about being able to get a flexible modular upgradable desktop starting at 500 instead of starting at 3500.

This list could easily be a mile long.
So NSA knew 90 days ago and gave MS the heads up. They patched hurriedly eg. 14th March for EternalBlue - but didn't say anything to their customers re:patches must go ASAP (many large corporations have to phase them - i.e not at all at once on First Tuesday) so many companies are currently still vulnerable and probably won't hit them until next Tuesday after the Bank Holiday. What a mess.
I had the iPhone in question (the original 4) and it wasn't that bad. It's not like other consumer products have no glitches and always work perfectly however you use them.
The changes you mention are almost invisible in day to day life though, so there's nothing to recognise.

Perhaps those innovations which the tech community considers revolutionary didn't really change society in a recognisable way?
There isn't a transmission/gearbox, but Teslas undoubtedly have differentials in some form which is where you would definitely find oil. I change the axle oil about once a millennium in my Jeep, so Tesla owners probably don't even think about it. To your point, though, there is probably a single reduction gear to lower the rotation speed of the motor and it might need oil. (Reverse does not require reconfiguring anything in an electric system, given that one just flips polarity. Electric motors have different torque characteristics which obviate the need for traditional gearing.)

I'm guessing service on Teslas is the usual: brake pads every century given that regenerative braking does most of the work, greasing bearings every now and then, coolant, tires, wipers. Internal combustion is extremely complicated in comparison.
It's a bit weird that punycode for emojis gets rejected for .com domains, but this kind of stuff is perfectly fine. I wonder who made these decisions, and with what reasoning.
Now that is a genuinely good idea.

I have both, and end up putting 60% of my spend on SPG Amex (Starwood hotels for sure, and then anything generic), 10% (Amazon) on the Amazon Chase Prime Visa (5% back...), 20% (dining and other bonus categories, merchants that don't take amex) on the Chase Sapphire Reserve, and VX on the VX credit card, IHG on IHG card, UA on UA card, etc.

Amex Platinum (MR) has pretty bad values for point redemption -- it's a good card to have for access to lounges and for certain airline tickets, but it's generally not the best return for most purchases. If you're eligible, there's a 2.5% back USAA credit card which is probably the cash-back winner, otherwise SPG seems to win for value, but I've seen some 5-7% return cases for the CSR too (Asian mileage tickets in C or F).

There's also the fact that personal Amex PLT is $550/yr (now), with ~$200/yr in Uber reimbursements spread out over the year and a few other things. The biggest benefit of PLT is the Centurion Lounge, which for US domestic travel is nice if you're in those airports, but for international it's Priority Pass Select on both CSR and PLT. CSR is $450/yr with $300/yr in credit for virtually any travel, so it's net $150/yr. PP Select is worth that alone, and a bunch of other benefits.

I'd drop Amex Platinum if I wanted to drop a card (and I actually just have the OPEN Small Business version; I don't have a personal PLT).
Manually typing the URL does not result in 'on the fly' conversion. Copying/Pasting from the manually typed URL does not result in a conversion. Copying from the link in your comment above does result in a converted URL. So, you are correct. Notepad is not the culprit.

This suggests that the browser is converting the URL before it can be copied, indicating that it converts the punycode rather than rendering it, but refreshing the page does not lead to the real site, so this only happens when copying from the address bar. I am using Cyberfox 52.0.4.

MS will never "call out" anybody, in particular nobody in the US government - one of the few entities on the planet who can make Redmond lives materially harder. MS and authorities have a long history of peaceful collaboration and there is no reason to believe this state of things will change anytime soon.
This looks great, I'm a bit surprised there aren't more questions here as it seems to solve a couple of the more awkward parts of lambda:

* No runtime restrictions

What are the defaults for this, and sensible possible requests?

That gets you real close to buying an iMac for development and a PC for gaming. I think this is part of the reason Apple has pulled back from the high end. Hardware is cheap enough that we can use different devices for different purposes now. There are often some good advantages to doing it too. I like having my workstation in the office, my gaming PC in the living room, and a tiny little laptop for travel. That would have cost me close to $10k a decade ago!
For sure those vulns disclosed are not all so NSA must tell MS all now (whether MS knew all - eg. backdoors - in the first place is another thing).
So in your mind how long does that mean MS should support that version of Windows you bought?

Seems like you're arguing MS should switch to a subscription-based model for Windows like most "continuously updated" software has because otherwise I don't see how you can expect them to provide you with free updates perpetually year-after-year after you paid them exactly once for software delivered as-is.
Me and my friend built a safety bracelet for women which had a GPS, GPRS chip and an inbuilt pepperspray which when sprayed triggered an alarm to volunteers nearby through the app.
Back in 2000, the saying was "we lose a little bit on every deal, but we make up for it in volume". Seems like Uber is along the similar path. History never quite repeats, but it often rhymes.

> Of the three remaining exploits [...] none reproduces on supported platforms, which means that customers running Windows 7 and more recent versions of Windows or Exchange 2010 and newer versions of Exchange are not at risk.

So none of the exploits should be a problem if you're on somewhat recent versions of Windows and Exchange (as applicable). If you're still on Windows Vista, XP, 2000 or NT, you likely have bigger problems already.
I for once, reject the term interview, for a interview is a communication process, where one side dominates the communication, either by putting in some strategically evil intent loaded sentences, formerly known as questions. Or the other side, which will try to censor the whole communication process, by redacting the outcome. I reject this process, for there is only one, free communication process which is the irc-view. In it, the one party is free to ask all the questions, and the other party is free to not answer all the questions, and none of the two parties is able to control the resulting communication- unless it owns the room.

A fully autonomous self-driving car (if that is what you mean by self-driving) will have to be capable of reasoning it's way out of every possible situation, which requires general AI.

The sheer number of cars used and the variety of places they're used in means that thousands of cars get caught up in bizarre situations every day. Cars will be shutting down inconveniently all over the place unless they can apply general reasoning skill to navigate through the innumerable trials that drivers currently have to cope with.

The Synchrony Bank store card is hands-down the shittiest card product I've ever used from any bank. I signed up for it and they screwed up my ACH multiple times, then closed my account, because they were running auto-debit ACH from a different address than command-debit ACH, and had no one who would explain this. (They bought something formerly used by Walmart, so when I saw a large Walmart debit I blocked it, as I never use my checking account there...)

In Q4 2016 (I think) DiscoverIT was 5% on Amazon purchases, which is equally good, but then the Chase Prime Visa also became 5%, so there's no advantage to the Synchrony card whatsoever.

Personally, I avoid everything Microsoft, but I think their support horizon is fair. Tying telemetry to security isn't in my opinion, but it's a different discussion.
I agree with your comment below mentioning Cyberfox -- the browser appears to be to blame, not Windows per se. The only question is why your browser is doing that. On both Firefox and Chrome, I am not getting the Unicode inserted into my clipboard, only the actual punycode. In fact, if I attempt to copy the Unicode from the address bar in either browser, it pastes as https://www.xn--e1awd7f.com/ in the text editor, not as "epic.com." Edge seems to be completely immune to this exploit; it renders the punycode as punycode in the URL (I suppose it just doesn't "understand" punycode is all.)
Apparently he wasn't at the time. News reports I read at the time said he applied for ESTA but was found to be in violation of ESTA terms at the boarder.

> The real question is why would it be a wise move for any SV tech giant to move into the very competitive car industry.

Couple of reasons.

- Self driving car is an interplay of Software and Hardware.

- Apple needs a new market to make some noise.

- Tim Cook needs something big to carve out his own legacy, maybe he thinks self driving tech is ticket to come out of Job's shadow.
Address bars should show punycode urls in a different color or perhaps have an option for displaying urls in ascii only (that is turned on by default for english browsers)
If you see humanity as a brain and a human like a neuron, the network produces outcomes unimaginable from looking at the individual. Which is easy if you look at an individual stone-age human, and even they are actually more advanced thanks to culture and groups (tribes) than an individual human would be (which would be more akin to a "Mowgli", grown up without learning from and support of the group).

So it's no surprise who you know is important - the brain is mostly about connectivity, not about the individual neuron.

Just a model for thought, obviously not a complete description ("every model is wrong"). I think the value of this model, if you can warm up to it, is that you stop worrying that "it's all about the connections" - because it really is and it's useful that way because that's a major point of how a network works. So do work on your connectivity! And also just like in the brain, a few high-quality connections are worth much more than a thousand low-quality ones.

Look at that. Picked them up from the printer's yesterday. Good coloring. That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail…

Amex CS has gotten a lot weaker in the past few years; it got moved overseas.

Closing the actual physical Amex offices also was a big step down (I've been a member since 97).

I would not want to bet on Amex at this point -- losing Costco, competition from Chase, and now Citi pushing to expand their own cards.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a lower-merchant-fees challenger now that everyone has a mobile phone; you could probably do something which presents at POSes as a credit card, handles a bunch of auth back through the customer's own mobile phone connection (but encrypted/authenticated), presenting a time of use credential which is matched by the POS while appearing as a regular credit card. Building something like that which costs the merchant <1%, and maybe which provides customers with a lot more purchasing/receipt info (for company purchasing cards).
...which doesn't make it any less irresponsible.

However, judging by https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-01... it's likely somebody had some advance knowledge, somehow.

I'd rather work with the ones who actually care about the people they're solving problems for vs the ones who can write bubble sort with no reference material, which happens in the real world precisely never. Employers pay developers to solve problems, not necessarily to write the most efficient code possible. I get that it's a craft and it's good to understand what happens under the hood, but you can get pretty damn far solving actual business problems for people without having to care which brand of sort ES2016 uses. These skills in micro-optimizations / textbook CS don't help much with understanding customers and solving their problems at the end of the day, so they're really not that valuable for many business scenarios. I think that a lot of engineers in this industry forget that they're not generally paid to write the most efficient data structures and algorithms for 40 hours a week, and that ironically, attempting to do so would very likely not be the most efficient means of increasing shareholder value. Can't see the forest for the B-trees, if you will.

hm it doesn't seem to pick up the wp installation if the WP_CONTENT_DIR is changed. should be an easy fix, se below.

this site is very much wordpress: https://www.berghs.se/
but wpdetective won't detect wordpress at all. it has a custom WP_CONTENT_DIR.

here's a similar but less polished version my team created some years ago: http://wppluginchecker.earthpeople.se/?wordpress-site=https%...

it tries a few common variables for WP_CONTENT_DIR, and runs completely in the browser, should you want to take a peek on how we detect WP.

Star Citizen Production Schedule Report
Most people want their DAW or plugin to resemble the real thing if it's an emulation or at least to offer a familiar look if it's not, so that the user is subject to sometimes frustrating usability compromises.
The problem IMO is not the look but how we manipulate its elements: every solution out there takes for granted the use of a keyboard and a mouse, which is wrong because neither was intended to control
such interfaces.
If I had to design an alternative controller, that would be a digital joystick with an incremental encoder plus a push button on the lever top: you use the lever to navigate the controls and once you reach the intended one, you activate its edit mode on through the button and use the encoder to change analog values or the lever (which would be in edit mode so the focus would not change) for digital ones).

>> big tech companies new really big markets to move the needle

The problem is that most big markets are small at start.

Aren't there models to enter many smaller markets , like a VC , but instead of just supplying capital, the big company will also supply some key tech/knowledge/resources advantages, maybe some that are specialty developed for startups , all for equity?

Elevators and trains are not even in the same ballpark as cars, and the busses you linked to can't function on public roads. They don't have the ability to interact with other vehicles.

It's entirely valid to state that we can do lots with our current tech, because we can, but when the topic is self driving cars on public roads, it makes no sense to claim they're possible without general AI based on the fact that an existing bus can drive around a closed course.

Giving those busses the ability to navigate arbitrary situations on public roads is not simply an incremental improvement, it requires that you solve a fundamentally different problem.
You pay either way because Microsoft is not a charitable organization. Either you spend as much (if not more) upfront for ridiculously long term support or you pay for upgrades and get a better operating system every few years. For obvious reasons the overwhelming vast majority of the world has picked the second option.
