The 787 is fantastic. The composite body and bleed-less engines allow for the cabin air to be held at a higher humidity and a lower altitude level then other planes. I regularly fly transpacific, and my preferences (in order) are 787-9, 787-8, A380, B777-200LR, A330, B747-8i (Lufthansa runs these between Frankfurt and Chicago), B777-300ER, I will do almost anything to avoid the old 747s, the old A340s and first generation 777s that United is still dragging around.

I recently flew direct from Denver to Narita in Tokyo. I got off the flight felling like it was the equivalent of a Denver to San Francisco flight in terms of impact to my body.

I'm sort of bearish on most things blockchain but this seems like one of a very small number of things that zero-trust auto-executing contracts could be useful for. Someone could probably work out a mathematical proof of "if you transfer this much etherium the private key will be decoded." Heh.
Apache Maven Shared Component: Maven Dependency Tree Version 3.0.1 Released
It's also interesting to think about what would have happened if Rick Belluzzo hadn't been in the right place to convince both HP (as a VP) and then SGI (as CEO) to make large bets on Itanium and Windows. I don't think the market would have supported that many more expensive CPUs – fab economics are brutal – but two of the major players giving control over key parts of their design to Intel & Microsoft significantly accelerated that trend.

SGI is interesting because they _owned_ the 3D space and shortly before he went to Microsoft, SGI gave nVidia and Microsoft very cheap licenses to their extensive collection of patents and other IP. It's interesting to imagine what might have happened if, say, SGI had switched to Intel but with fewer gambles on unproven technology: x86 and Linux or the internal IRIX x86 port instead of Itanium and the heavily modified Windows NT derivative which was very expensive to support and forced all of their developers to make massive code changes. Similarly, they were focused on the high-end 3-D market (engineering, science, animation, etc.) and dismissed the PC gaming business as insignificant and basically gave it to nVidia along with a bunch of their staff; had someone a little short-sighted been involved that would have made a big difference in their bottom line.
I wonder if "certain MP3-related patents" is an attempt by Fraunhofer to narrow or clarify their claim. I have a couple guesses.

1. Perhaps Fraunhofer doesn't own all the patents associated with MP3 and they only want to claim terminating the licensing for their own IP.

2. Perhaps they meant "certain patents related to MP3". In other words, Fraunhofer licensing for other IP not related to MP3 could still be in effect.
> I can't see if you have arterial plaque but I can tell if you don't clean your teeth.

Maybe if you are a dentist. Having not the best teeth myself, people sometimes think I don't clean my teeth.

I think tooth health is actually similar to other parts of human health. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle from childhood on, do all recommended inspections, then everything is likely to be good. However most people don't know better or just don't do better.

Politicians would do good in truly reforming a health system. I'm only aware of one example where efficiency got a 10x improvement, which is the Chinese one in the 50s. It's cool to complain about [insert politician] about cutting health cost but add the end of the day it's not how to solve the problem. Too sad Trump is intellectually too limited to make real cost savings.

Computer Games That Teach Assembly Language
Yes, the db has been the most challenging aspect for us. We have 3 situations -

1. "Common baseline". With a relatively stable product, most branches (as in ~51%) do not impact the schema. For testing / QA purposes, these share one central QA db and pollute each out. Turns out, a lot of the times this is quite ok because the PR is about how the data is displayed, or improved logging, or UX change, or a security layer or anything else other than core domain knowledge - they don't care for the data that much.

2. "I'm special". Some branches do modify data (whether the format or the structure). To handle these, the manifest.json file has an option to request a separate database. If present, the rollout script will do "pg_dump + copy" of the shared staging DB, and duplicate it into "qa_$BRANCH", then update the config file (or .env for Docker) with the appropriate connection value. Additionally, it will all *sql files in a dir specified in manifest.json against the clone DB. This is done on every release, which does get annoying by resetting the qa data (we could add another manifest switch here I). On the upside, it forces you to codify all data migration rules from the start.

3. "I am very special". Some changes transform data in a way that requires business processing and cannot be done with easy SQL. Sorry, out of luck - we don't automate special cases yet. The developer has to pull the QA database to localhost, do his magic, and push it back. Not ideal, but hasn't caused any problems yet. If ain't broke...

It's really three stages, not frontend and backend.

The first stage is the LLVM front end, Clang and other language parsers. They generate IR.

The middle stage is the LLVM optimizer, opt, which takes IR and runs a variety of optimization passes. Opt takes and gives IR.

http://llvm.org/docs/Passes.html

The third is the backend code generator. It lowers IR to the target ISA. There's a tablegen description, there's are MI scheduler models which abstract architectural information as well.

http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html

I think you really meant can you write an optimizing pass specifically for your target? Yes. But I don't think that modifying the real front end Clang is going to get you much of anything. Intrinsics are different; that's the programmer inserting ISA specific instructions rather than Clang extracting ISA specific information. Really, modifying Clang isn't going to get you anything.

Thomas, what were the 'small' Clang specific tweaks?
Not sure that those systems are connected to the Internet.

The software affected in the NHS was mainly in GP surgeries and admin offices to do with scheduling of procedures. Not directly life-threatening in the sense of a machine going wrong but indirectly damaging in the sense of procedures and consultations having to be cancelled, records not being available &c.

Looking decades into future I'm wondering: Web applications + fairly basic clients Chromebook style for the scheduling/records stuff.
I much enjoyed http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2339629,00.asp this review of Itanium history.
My personal experiences is exactly the same. In 2012 my old high school rolled out whatever the Google Apps for Education equivalent program was. They auto-generated usernames and passwords based off first and last name. Not only did this lead to a large number of students and teachers getting """hacked""" but most students ended up triggering the rate limit for incorrect passwords and the teachers eventually gave up on it. 5 years later they seem to be doing better but never underestimate the number of hurdles rolling out tech into an education environment. You either sync 1:1 with AD or convert water into wine, otherwise you are not getting adopted probably.
Jimmy Wales on Wikitribune’s business model
Everything about this says dead spy caught by other spies. The interesting part won't be her real identity, even though that would be a critical window into the things that are actually interesting.

No theft, no sexual abuse, no emotional yarns, bloodless, no noise yelling or fighting, drugged and burned, and obscured identity, effective for decades. The murderers were professional state operators, so whoever did it, collects a paycheck for killing people like this woman, above all ordinary law and order. Some of the rival operators may have been women, staving off sexual transgression, since that doesn't always remain professional on its own.

What was she trying to do? How did her cover blow? Whoever killed her, they had clear understanding that she wasn't who she claimed to be, and no one knew who she really was. Once they discovered mystery girl, if they weren't ordered to take her out, all they had to do was phone home and ask if they were supposed to have peers in the vicintity, if not, she's the enemy.

Based on this, you can assume by geography that she was a cold war spy, attractive, with money heading into Eastern Europe, not westbound out of Europe. If she were sourced from Eastern Europe, she wouldn't have been caught and erased so quickly while still mainland. Closer into Eastern Europe, she'd have had more protection. Operating alone like this, she may have been a canary. Bait, doomed from the start, but unaware of her role in the operation she proved as hazardous.

>> One last thing: I recommend trying to re-frame trigonometry problems as vector problems whenever possible, and thereby not needing the sine function at all. Code which avoids transcendental function evaluations altogether is usually simpler to reason about and faster.

I couldn't agree with that more!

The guide does a good job of, "here's some concept, explained in order". But after finished reading I'm left with the question, "So how do I start?" (especially making use of the concepts already explained in sequence, e.g. d3-scale -> d3-shape -> d3.selection)

It's like reading a list of concepts for some new programming language, and then you get the idea, but then there's no, "You need to download the IDE here, create a Main.mylang file, and type func main(args) {...}, and click Run"

This reminds me of the old practice of "rubbings". Take a sheet of paper and a crayon. Place the sheet on a nice surface like a bad-relief or a tombstone. Rub the other side with the crayon to copy the texture. Quite fun.
Probably to prevent it from fucking their own computer network up. Just change your local resolver to be authoritative for the domain(s) in question, and bob's your uncle.

But next they'll likely use more domains, and more expensive ones, so that random security researchers can't just expense the registration on the corporate credit card. I know .ng costs 50k, but .np might be pretty comical to deploy if you're not really worried about a global off switch.

It’s a combination of a few things. First, when we started doing calls together Slack calls weren’t available yet for multiple people.

In our experience, Slack calls often fail for a variety of reasons. Other than that, we don’t want to shift too much data to Slack and since it’s pretty unclear how their calling technology works and appear.in uses WebRTC, we rather use another service here than a service where we don’t know much about it but only that calls aren’t too reliable. But as said, we haven’t bothered to check the group-video calling yet there. We’re pragmatic. Appear.in works in any browser (Slack calls don’t) and therefore… why should we change a well working system?

I don't think I would use Uber Eats even if they were available in Oslo, but I already outright refuse to order through Foodora. They might pay better, but the number of times one of their cyclists has almost hit me or my dog has put me off ever using them. They should at the very least make those boxes have easily visible ID numbers so that you can call in complaints about them!
To be fair, it depends on your usage, here are two problems that I found:

* Swift runs natively on Ubuntu, however on WSL only the compiler works. If you try to run the REPL it will crash.

* Emacs, slow start, seems to work for simple editing. Crashes when you try to install a package or when you try to list the available packages.
I'm new to fuzzers and fuzz testing in general so I apologise for my ignorance about the purpose of fuzzing. My understanding is that fuzzing tests the user facing side (which is what is important for most programs). Does there exist similar tooling for testing the system-facing side (i.e. the stack below your application) to check your applications error handling, for example and uncover corner cases. What I'm getting at it something like syzkaller but for userspace, so library functions beneath your application would return wrong values and you get to see how your application responds to them.

Sorry for the bad English.

"as it displays the intention to not fight while still keeping my hands ready to punch or throw"

I've done that plus arms crossed. The latter looks even better on camera when making self-defense arguments. Main thing I practiced from that position was feigning a low kick or tackle to get them to lean down followed by a neck strike straight from crossed position. From there to regular striking or grappling if opponent is still standing. The palms out method is more flexible, though.

That's so sad. Why should politicians decide health care access. The system is so messed up. Government regulation has caused price for health care to sky rocket. And now we have to beg them to be a 3rd party payer just so we can "afford" it.
Walmart has Amoxicillin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic for tooth infection for $4 for a month supply. https://www.walmart.com/cp/4-dollar-presscriptions/1078664 They have quite a few common generics all for the same low price.

Thanks for the list, it’s quite good! However, our point is to not use third-parties for things where we don’t need it.

The point of the article is to show that you can use Github solely for project management without a third-party service.

But I completely agree with you: If you don’t like the little extra-work we do to achieve that with just github.com, it’s probably right to add another tool like ZenHub or waffle.io on top of it.

Making your toolset work for your team is the most important thing. For us, it’s enough — and maybe for a few others as well. That’s why we shared our approach :)

Oh lighten up. The defendant is already infamous. Whether or not you think Google is "evil" is largely a matter of opinion and definitely not worth anyone's time debating. It's already been done over and over.

Folks disagree with you for the same reason they pass [good samaritan laws](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Samaritan_law): intent.

A bit more econo-mathematically stated: we expect more good than bad to come by us if we indemnify them from whatever liability they may have had by accidentally triggering the mechanism. Perhaps because there's more smart people outside the government than inside it, just as there are more smart people outside any corporation than inside it, or anywhere really, because human ingenuity is widely distributed.
> I believe Windows XP should have been supported for at least 50 years, considering how many people still depend on it. IMO, Microsoft has acted irresponsibly, and the decision was only driven by money.

I don't think you understand how much developer effort is required in maintaining such an old OS. In addition, these same developers need to get paid and since MS is in the business of making money, supporting a SW that massively burn cash (I assume the maintenance is not cheap) is blatantly foolish.

> Why not spend the next 50 years just maintaining Windows 10, just the way it is?

If I understand it correctly, this pretty much is the plan with Win10. It's supposed to be the last Windows OS
They were (had / taken advantage of). Does anyone at all remember even an outline of a real plan for /HOW/ that campaign promise would be realized? All I remember is marketing puffery, pure factless, baseless, hot air.

I'm pleasantly surprised. For the last 10 years the only financial news from Sony was negative.

I find it interesting that Sony owned PlayStation and Sony Pictures yet was never interested in developing a streaming video service like Netflix.
Yes, I have to agree with you here. Gig economy might reduce quality of life in developed countries but in SEA countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, gig economy is helping local populations to actually increase their income. Yes, USD5-8/hour might sound low, but in this side of the world, it is better than nothing.
As someone from inside the field(and other replies are welcomed of course), let's say you had total regulatory freedom and could control everything - how would you write the rules, how would the businesses look like, what tech will be used, and maybe if it's possible to guess, how cheap can the common treatments(filling/root/crown) get ?
The last part I actually agree with, at the time Itanium was made, there was a sense of "It's the next big thing (tm)".

And I don't actually disagree that VLIW is best suited for some specific workloads as opposed to general workloads. All I'm saying is that those workloads, such as decoding, video and a few others, are becoming more important as the consumer smartphone workload and that most smartphone CPUs can't do much more than 3 instructions in parallel anyways, which is close to the generally agreed 2-3 ilp that VLIW compiler can extract. Power consumption is heavily restricted on a smartphone as well. That being said, data movement is the big issue nowadays, so I'm not sure how much that will help.
I believe that the abstract viewpoint should come first, but should be tied very, very thoroughly to the concrete calculations. The construction of a matrix to represent a linear operator in two concrete coordinate systems should be completely understood, forwards and backwards.

The point of the abstraction not being to have an abstraction, but to give intuition to the otherwise pointless-seeming calculations.
I'm not sure as I don't follow the shows much. I can't remember most of what I see so (shrugs). I know for sure the Hapkido people do it since I independently discovered one of their move sets. Idea is to do a move that's fake then the exact opposite of that move right after. My two were: feign right hook followed by hard backhand; inside vs outside crescent kicks. They had even more. Hapkido people fighting non-Hapkido people using these techniques would be an example of deception.

Also, flying submissions (my favorite) almost always involve an element of deception since a miss is so costly. Shinya Aoki does a lot of those. One in the video below shows that he looks like he's going to grab or control arms but lightening-quick jumps on one for an armbar. I similarly did fake clinches or upper-body take-downs to sacrifice throw someone into an anaconda or rear-naked choke. A related aspect I saw done esp in judo is you're trying to get them to react in a specific way to the feigned move so their own positioning or momentum aids you're real move.

Eh, try to settle the impostor syndrome down. It's hard, I know, but not particularly warranted in this case.

Day to day, I don't think I know anyone who would actually use the acronym IPC over the expanded term "interprocess communication", assuming the subject even comes up.

The generic term just isn't particularly useful, given the wide variety of mechanisms included. Instead, you will hear developers talk about pipes, sockets, ports, connections, queues, and so on as may be warranted.

Knowing when to use a pipe and when to use a socket is important, but the fact that both are grouped together as "interprocess communication" mechanisms along with a bad idea like shared memory really isn't.
