> The British isles aren't floating away to the Atlantic, and the countries will need to continue trading.

Europe has been bluntly honest about this. They've said that the UK leaving the single market will hurt them, but they're bigger than the UK and the UK will hurt more. They've also pointed out that they can't give the UK a soft landing, as they need to show that leaving the EU is not without consequences; there's a few states thinking of departing, and if departing is painless, why wouldn't they?

Remember that the EU isn't just about the fat cats in Brussels. It's also about bringing the people together. Europe has historically been the most divisive and warlike continent, with neighbours at each others' throats since records began. You only need to go back to the 90s to see a genocide between europeans who looked the same as each other, and it's within living memory that Europe gave us the worst war of all time and the Holocaust. But 'bendy bananas' is worth it, right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppletViewer

"The applet viewer operates on HTML documents, but all it looks for is embedded applet tags; any other HTML code in the document is ignored. Each time the applet viewer encounters an applet tag in an HTML document, it launches a separate applet viewer window containing the respective applet."

As far as security goes, I don't think appletviewer claims to be more secure that the browser. It has a similar security policy/sandbox.

The author was using this as an opportunity to learn Rust so while it might look sort of crazy to use a systems programming language for build failure notification there was a reason behind their decision. Nim is a lovely language but in the author's case he doesn't really care about speed for the use case so if they were being strictly pragmatic they could have just stuck with Python.

There is one big problem with Google's implementation. Only users in the Gsuite domain where it was created can access it. So, for example, if you wanted to create an applicant tracking system, the job applicants wouldn't be able to sign into the app to uploade their resumes or see status.

If you think they won't ever fix that, there's an opening there. It's an odd limitation to me. I suppose they are trying to sell GSuite licenses.
Not every phone can be rooted though :(

But yeah: The app can be disabled at least.
It fell oddly on my mind's ear and so seemed worth mentioning. Perhaps it wasn't.
That would be a funny plan, considering that immigrants to western countries tend to hold more conservative values than natives, and thus should be expected to vote for conservative parties.
The 2008 crash was pathetic compared to 1929, it wasn't even called a depression. There was higher unemployment and people pushed out of home ownership, but it's not like anything significant changed as a result and the economy is doing well again.

1929 is likewise pathetic compared to the french revolution. There was no large government structure or leadership change as a result.
Yesterday I would argue this is unimaginable, someone being investigated for blasphemy in 2017 (in the west). We are dropping the ball on free speech. We chipping away on our liberties bit by bit. This is why hate speech laws are dangerous.

Another anecdote to share, I have purchased three new VW: a Golf 1.8t, a 2.0t GTI (for the mr), and a TDI (for the mrs). We will not be purchasing a new VW when we cash in the TDI. I will not be purchasing a new VW when the GTI dies.
Nice! No a fan of the overlay colours, but that's just personal preference.

> I do wonder if it was pot luck they got hold of a VW Jetta.

IIRC the grant they received came from a European air pollution advocacy group which wanted to prove to European regulators that the EPA's stricter diesel emissions standards could be easily and affordably met with existing technology. The VW diesel cars were the only ones in the US after the newer standards came into effect which didn't use an SCR device so they would definitely have been included in the study specifically for that reason. The group also tested a BMW X3 diesel which did meet the standards in the same test that the VW models failed.
I'm not saying that RISC-V is an hobby project, I'm just saying that hardware development is nowhere comparable to software development.

You need much more support and verification while developing hardware then developing software. And while you can reuse the functional design (please note the keyword "functional"), the physical implementation needs to be redone from project to project.

ARM, Intel, AMD, Apple and Qualcomm have an army of engineers with all kinds of tools that go through all the steps of hardware design and implementation which you can't do as a side project at home using just your computer.
No, because it implies there is a tradeoff but doesn't highlight what that tradeoff is.
I find result types to be much easier to understand and work with than exceptions. Result types can be handled by the type system, even when you have checked exceptions in java, there are still exceptions that aren't checked, and the syntax for the checking becomes monstrous.
Exactly.

Navajo aren't really a good example of "Native American" for cuisine purposes (although things like fry bread probably are the most recognizable instances of Native American cuisine for the general public).

The Navajo are fairly recent arrivals to the American Southwest, they are Athabascan in origin and likely not far removed from East Asia.

The Navajo arrived in the American Southwest from Canada/Alaska in the late 1300/ early 1400's. And the Spanish arrived to the area not much more than 100 years later bringing horses, sheep and European crops which were adapted to some extent by the natives.

Contrast that with groups like the Hopi or other Pueblo tribes who are descendants of peoples with thousands of years history in the area and who farmed native crops such as corn and squash for many many generations before the first Navajo (or Navajo ancestor to be proper) ever set foot in the area.

Point being, Navajo food isn't really Native American food much behind the level of Tacos. There was significant European influence during most of the time Navajo culture developed.

I think a lot of "real" Native American cuisine was probably something like berries and dried meat mixed with fat wrapped in a piece of skin. Or some inner pine bark if times were rough. Except for the farming tribes that had little bitty corn and some primitive squash. Probably not really that tasty IMOP.
I have a bash alias which just commits to my branch with "wip" and execute that regularly. When I'm done with my feature I rebase all commits and rewrite the message in the angular commit format with a thought through message and summary + ticket references

I have a rough history of what changed in case I need to revert but before actually merging the branch I want to make sure all is cleaned up for future reference.

I found it surprising how little people do that and just push with poor ungrounded messages

Similarly I am a very big fan of the phabricator flow with their arc cli which kind of works very similar

"The fiscal discipline is ensured by the SGP by requiring each Member State, to implement a fiscal policy aiming for the country to stay within the limits on government deficit (3% of GDP) and debt (60% of GDP); and in case of having a debt level above 60% it should each year decline with a satisfactory pace towards a level below"
I think the "dangerous" comes in when you have morons in mass media screaming will of the people, saboteurs traitors every time somebody has the temerity to suggest that leaving the EU might not be a good idea, or that we might wish to debate whether the PM's preferred position on leaving the EU is the correct one. Attlee called referenda the "tool of dictators and demagogues", and whilst he might have been referring specifically to the tendency of such leaders to use their initial popularity to vote themselves powers to deal with more difficult times, it could apply equally to the use of the referendum result to argue that a 52-48% margin of opinions at a particular point in time means that continuing to express the views held by the latter group is somehow disreputable
Leaked: UK secret blueprint for real time surveillance and breakable encryption
The current economics model for automation is Skill-biased technological change. That means that new technology is not a universal production multiplier, it needs people who can wield it, they need to have certain skills. But those who have will be a lot more productive than those who are without this combination of skill and technology. Hence the enormous demand for high-skilled workers. Which means slowly disappearing demand for unskilled workers. No, it doesn't necessarily mean the total number of jobs is shrinking, but people need to possess more and more complex skills. (And of course there's the problem of rising income inequality, capital and wealth concentration, and so on.)

Manufacturing moved because wages, not because environmental regulations.

And of course China has benefitted.

Or just clean up your local history before you push. Frequent commits are handy for checkpointing a known state so you can experiment freely and easily revert failed attempts; then, when you know you've got something good, you can squash the relevant commits and rewrite the messages to provide solid detail, and push a clean result.

Interactive rebase is an amazingly powerful tool - a little hard to use at first, but the investment of effort to learn its capabilities pays off manyfold. If you're looking for an easy way to level up, and you haven't investigated it before, I can't think of a better choice.
Why should your enterprise IT department share their code?
It won't go anywhere. Bizarrely the Irish blasphemy law is designed to be basically unenforceable, a fact admitted by the very minister who implemented it to much backlash at the time. The Irish government didn't even want a blasphemy law - it was forced to write one to fill a hole in the law caused by a reference to blasphemy in the Constitution. An early blasphemy law had been removed but removing it from law entirely requires a referendum to alter the Constitution. The "temporary" solution was a law worded in such a way any prosecution was pretty unlikely.
What is your definition of "success"?

I have to say, if you've been able to fund your lifestyle in a sustainable way for 15 years, generate an income on your own, etc then you are doing pretty well.

Of course, if your goal is to make a billion dollars then you're not succeeding yet.

Ray Kroc strikes me as a good example of someone who failed many times before finding an opportunity at 50+ years of age and scaling it to become immensely wealthy.

Anyway, curious to hear how you're defining success and happy to share more thoughts!

Thanks, I have seen the first book before. The second one looks interesting. I think TDD is a good concept especially from an API design point of view.
One of the teams I work on is pretty religious about one commit per PR and mandatory rebasing, which is a nuisance at times, particularly when one feature is made up of multiple different steps

e.g. refactor code to allow thing X to be pluggable, implement new alternative for thing X, load thing X if user has the right permissions all need to be squashed down to just "implement thing X"
Trade balance alone is meaningless. The US is a much wealthier country/nation/state than Mexico, of course if barriers to trade are lowered people will import more from the cheaper side. This helps Mexico's developing economy.

Interesting idea. It seems to struggle a bit with some types of characters. For example, drawing a lowercase pi would return many characters with more than two legs, which showed up ahead of pi itself and other characters that do have the two.

Your implementation suffer from a bug, if the final item is None it will return the default instead of None.

A better implementation would be:

if k not in d:
return kwargs.get('default')
d = d[k]
return d
In my opinion you probably know the answer to this question, that's why you're asking, that is you know it's probably a waste of time.

The best advice I could give is ensure you're doing it for the right reasons, that everyone around you will truly profit and make sure you've honestly evaluated existing tools.

I often see people failing to correctly evaluate an existing technology/tool and then rush off to build their own inferior product. Yes it can be fun to just code, and there are cases where it's truly a good / beneficial thing to do, but they're not common from my experience.

Good luck!

This is troubling. This a legitimate philosophical problem that dates back to Epicurus, Hume, Kant. It's something theologians since Aquinas have wrestled with, and that modern philosophers such have taken up. It applies as much to Christianity as it does to Judaism and Islam. There's no reason for this to be covered by blasphemy laws, even if you accepted blasphemy laws as legitimate.
Yes - but how do you know when your test data and training data are different in the way that the model cares? With conventional methods, you can assess similarity by distances in the feature space of the model, or you have a physical understanding of why the model works than you have a better intuition about the differences in data that are important.
