I don't have to read Mien Kampf to know it's full of crap
Your name says more about your parents than it says about you.
I'm not teary eyed at all.

I am so impressed by the device and her reaction. Something so small can give someone just enough sense of control in their lives. It's incredible.
You mean 8x more memory, right?
I'd be more interesting to build a tool to detect all the videos in Youtube that fall under fair use but are still being DMCA'd.
This could be said about almost any technology.

Just because you did not look at the settings does not mean there was no option. I get this from the elderly all the time, "Well how was I supposed to know to click that menu first?"

Short answer: no.

Long answer: at their closest earth and mars are about 54m km apart, at the furthest it's over 400, with an average of around 225m km, so theoretical latency is varies between 4 and 24 minutes.

CockroachDB uses synchronous replication via raft, and that latency would cause problems as would some other setting like our window sizes and their interaction with timeouts.
I found this is a cultural thing, e.g. from my personal experience it is not regarded nearly as important in the Netherlands as it is in the United Kingdom.
> Retailers tell us that self-checkouts are all about providing more choice, convenience and speed

Oh yes, of course. It's certainly not just about the cost of an employee at a cash register, which is why retailers give you a little discount when you self-checkout. They do, right?

Sincerely: Does anyone believe there is any reason at all for pushing these other than squeezing labor cost, to the retailer's exclusive benefit?
Just some random feedback, all of course my personal opinion:

1) Editing paid invoices shouldn't be allowed after a payment has been made.

2) Quotes should have an accept or sign option, the quote list should reflect the status.

3) Quotes should also have templates similar to invoices

4) Dashboard widget reflecting outstanding payments, recent payment stats, etc. Could be handy.

Sure, but that's not the point — the question is about how what you're called impacts the growth of your personal outlook of life.
It would be great to see more balanced discourse on monopolies, especially in a software-dominated world. Most analyses and articles fixate on the costs of monopolies.

Let's assume the worst of Google and conclude they abused their search monopoly. Innovation in search was stifled. Competitors were damaged and achieved only a fraction of their potential. For instance, Yelp might be worth $15B instead of $3B in a world without "evil" Google.

But Google's search monopoly and concomitant cash flows also gave society free worldwide communication, self-driving cars, cheaper smartphones, free digital maps, and countless other benefits.

All policies hurt some and help others.

Before supporting or rejecting a policy, it's wise to consider the overall benefits to society instead of focusing only on the injured parties. Why should thinking about monopolies differ?

To reiterate, this is neither endorsing nor disparaging monopolies. It's a request for objective analysis and updated thinking to reflect the potential new realities of monopolies like Google that give products away for free.

More than zero. My book is a particular niche that people need, and they will pay what they have to in order to get it. If zero is an option some will take zero, if not they'll pay.
They did, you just did not read what you were accepting when you "Accept[ed] and Install[ed]"
I was referring to the massive lend-lease support, and the continued industrial support provided to the Soviet Union during the war, not after war. I should have been more clear about that.
There are tons of vacant houses in San Francisco. Most of these homes are bought in cash from outside investors who have way more wealth than your average Bay Area citizen or tech employee.

These homes aren't rented because there are too many tenant rights and it's more trouble than it's worth to the owner.

How to Empower Quality Assurance and Developers to Work Together
JSON Hijacking
People in the article claim that the attack backfired because the public now knows how to deal with Russian propaganda. I'm not sure of that. Would Le Pen have done better or worse without the leaked documents? She was much further behind than Trump. Also, its effect might have been limited because the French press refused to play the 'useful idiot' role and publicize it and, according to some, because France lacks a Fox News equivalent to push it.[0] Also, I don't remember the Clinton campaign raising questions about the veracity of the leaks, in line with their and other Dems usual passivity (which remains bizarre to me); Macron raised those questions immediately.

In contrast, in the U.S., even the NY Times publicized the Russian material regarding the DNC. The French media said they had to verify the Macron material first, which is normal journalistic procedure, especially given the 'anonymous' sourcing and the likelihood that it was a foreign intelligence agency. I didn't see the NY Times or others even raise that question (and FWIW I wrote them and asked, but never got a response).

I learned recently that the DNC IT team actually told Podesta that a phising email was legitimate and that he should act on it urgently,[1] and the article says that the Clinton people ignored FBI warnings. Macron's people seem much more on the ball, based on the story, but maybe they shouldn't publicize their methods.

The technology demonstrated today should have everyone concerned. Satya talked about the responsibilities that we, as technologists have... but the power isn't going to be in OUR hands, it's going to be in the hands of the people who own the technology we build. The world outside of tech needs to see this.

Doesn't that just mean that it's impossible to manage a technology portfolio in a cost efficient way? So the only way to manage a technology portfolio would be to simply try to juggle as many as you can, eliminating them randomly as you are resource constrained?

My last name is Barrett, and I've found that most people have learned how to spell it over time. I used to have to say "like the hair clip, without the last 'e'" but within the last 20 years or so people just get it right the first time.

I found it interesting that within the last 5 years or so, my employer found an employee with the last name of "Barritt"

I agree with you -- in addition, the person to eat the "last piece" has the courage to consume the piece that is both the least fresh and has most possibly been exposed to pathogens from "other piece" eaters.

"First Piece" folks should get more flak as they've destroyed a baked work of art.

Cute, but very low resolution. The paper describes sensing a 4x4 array. Multi-touch is possible, but fingers closer than 10cm can't be resolved. The paper doesn't say anything about ambient humidity. That will affect this approach. So will skin dryness.

It's nice, but not better than existing touchscreen technologies.
While generating fuel from plastic is nice, the value is really low, and the carbon goes back in the environment. The oil that comes from catalytic pyrolysis also contains some oxidation products that are nasty smelling and of questionable toxicity.

Even better is to simply recycle for use in some other application. The cost of plastic monomers is typically higher than fuel.

The holy grail will be to get monomers back to generate pristine polymer back!
I have a moderately uncommon last name (1400 in the world, according to forebears.io.)

By having my lastname @gmail.com, I've met lots of people with the same name who erroneously give out my gmail address as their contact information. At first this was kind of annoying, but now its become just amusing. I've gotten people's internet / cell / rv / NRA membership info sent to the address, and they are normally grateful when I reach out to them to ask them to correct it.
> there are an enormous amount of rules and caveats

There really aren't. OSM is very freeform, almost anarchistic, compared to Wikipedia; very few edits are reverted and very few editors are banned.

I'd say there are probably five rules:

1. Don't copy from other maps

2. Edits should be 'verifiable' and 'on the ground' - i.e. no subjective information

3. Be liberal in what you add, conservative in what you delete - someone else is interested in it even if you're not

4. There's a special process for imports and automated edits

5. Be prepared to engage with other contributors

It's sort of like clickbait, but whatever works I guess.

A name like CockroachDB catches my eye the same way Yandex's Cocaine PaaS makes me click to find out what the hell that product actually is.
At least with things like OwnCloud[1] you get to actually own your data instead of having it on a SaaS/PaaS Cloud. The cloud is just someone elses computer.

Sure, but when that moment happens over 20 years after you've started your "way of doing things", and you've amassed a giant fortune in the process, your eye-opening moment is not, "Well, I guess I was lucky all those years." Your eye-opening moment is, "Well, it's time to retire my strategy and change my methodology, if I can."

Nothing lasts forever. Conditions change in every arena of competition, not just the market. If a professional basketball player is incredibly successful until their bodies literally begin to degrade, do we raise philosophical questions about the inherent attribution of their skill?

People don't seem to respond well to the quant fund examples, so how about this - how has Warren Buffett consistently beat the market through Berkshire Hathaway? If he ceased beating the market this year, would it because he has been lucky all these years? Would it be because the market conditions that supported his success have fundamentally changed? If so, why does that indicate his performance was due to chance?
Yes, preprocessor is available as a standalone tool for preprocessing source files in assembly language (.S = input file before preprocessing, .s = output file after preprocessing or source file which does not require preprocessing).

Of course standalone preprocessor can be (ab)used to preprocess Javascript source files and any other files, as grandparent commenter suggested.
In my experience it's better to wait for everything to be digested and released in text format. There's just too much bullshit to cut through. Live events are a world of cringe that I can't handle anymore. Last one I watched was NVIDIA's "Tom" incident, never again. Anandtech did a good job with the live blog, and that event was like 95% bullshit and 5% content.
Vaguely related: I lament the ongoing work to pave gravel and dirt roads.

Terminals in browser is the next cool thing.
I can't get over Firefox's resource waste though. I know Chrome isn't great for it either but Firefox really takes the cake for devouring memory.
I think your underestimation is vast.

According to census data in the US alone we're looking at 5,000 unique first names (at least).

So even if we throw out the fact that there are probably upwards of 100k unique last names... combining 5,000 first middle and last name variations puts us in the range of 125 billion unique combinations in English alone.
I personally prefer a browser full of built-in functionality, such as the old O12, rather than relying on extensions. Extensions add friction to browser updates and run into compatibility problems sooner or later.
It's actually just dumb. It's not like Google ever pioneered any endeavour. They've merely done what Altavista and Yahoo did, only better.

Equally, they don't actually connect all the world's information. Just sections of it where it's profitable to do so.
I would be happy to put my money where my mouth is, which is why I trade with strategies I have developed. If those funds were accepting outside investors for less than 8 figures, I would absolutely invest in them. But the reality is that many hedge funds that achieve that sort of consistent capability soon stop accepting investor capital due to capacity constraints, which leads to a different sort of issue than those returns being fundamentally impossible.

> Windows comes with bash

That's an extremely charitable way of phrasing it. 64-bit Windows 10 in developer mode has bash as an optionally installable component. AFAIK, bash is not installed by default and it's unavailable on 32-bit or in older Windows versions.

If you want to allow a wide range of users, including those with corporate- or government-IT issued machines, to run your build, you need to support older Windows versions down to at least 7. Which means that you cannot assume native bash.

I can't remember what journal I was reading, but I was able to quickly find a fluff article with some decent information [1] that happens to mention an on-point cycling study [2].

For me, this involves training outside in the Texas summer heat (100F+) with plain water. When I race, it is usually earlier in the day (80-90F) and I sometimes use ice socks in my jersey and ice water in my bottles to keep my core temperature down.

>It's their community they set the rules. Why have communities or governments, or even countries for that matter? Fundamentally they do the same things.

Let's try changing this up. "It's my community, so I set the rules. We're seizing the means of production, and any bourgeois scum who don't want to give them up can be put against the wall and shot."

Chances are you suddenly developed an objection. Maybe "we'll set the rules we want in our town" tends to get overridden from above for a valid reason? I dunno.
Schools are still stuck in the past in regard to "cheating".

I recall reading a rant on the Internet--I forgot where--about how the real cheat is when a teacher gives the same exam to every student, year after year.

In the future, everyone will be connected to the Internet constantly, including students. We are close to that now. I can look up any obscure bit of information in only a few moments. Expecting students of the future to take a test without that digital link to everyone and everything is like teaching someone to juggle, and then making them tie one hand to the opposite foot for the test.

It's ridiculous--almost like asking algorithmic questions for the whiteboard interview. No, I didn't memorize forever the big-O for eight different sorting algorithms, because I have been using Internet search engines since AltaVista, and card catalogs and textbook indexes before that. The era when someone had to become his own information library, with comprehensive index, to be good at his job has been over for a long, long time.

So I think the burden is on teachers and testers to devise new methods of testing that make instant information lookup and collaboration entirely irrelevant to the methods of student evaluation. Make "cheating" an optional feature rather than a bug. I think in the short term that means that tests will have to be time-limited and questions will have to be procedurally generated, and unique to each test-taker. And further, the questions will have to be structured such that they can't be solved by just copy-pasting them into a search box.

I recall how I programmed my TI-85 to show "Mem cleared Defaults set" before my exams. It wasn't because I wanted to cheat, but because I didn't want to lose the other programs I wrote just because some teacher didn't trust me. Obviously, someone else could have easily done the same to protect a crib sheet or answer key. When your school system mandates that every student have the same calculators, that type of cheat only becomes more common. The teachers that wrote their exams as "open textbook" never needed to worry about crib sheets. They wouldn't care if you memorized the image of the required pages, or just the page numbers, or just the index key, so long as you could get the correct answers before the end of class.

The tests I took in school are obsolete. No school should be trying to extend their lifespan by creating administrative calculator monopolies and arbitrarily blocking newer technologies. Welcome yourself to the 21st century and write better tests.

My dad frequently eats the last cookie in the box or last piece of cake. He then leaves the container there.
