In my hometown, runners use the bike lanes and cyclists use the sidewalks. Not quite that extreme, but true in many cases.

I run in bike lanes to avoid the dip and rise at every driveway and to make myself more visible to drivers at intersections. I will hop on the sidewalk if a cyclist is approaching.
Here's a news article reporting on the date back in April: http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/marissa-mayer-yahoo-ver...

> there are many places that have big clusters of multi-processor machines, and none of their code is threaded.

A bit over-general, don't you think? There are many places that have big clusters full of single-threaded processes. There are also many places that have big clusters full of multi-threaded processes. I don't know which group is the biggest, but it doesn't matter as far as Osterhout's argument is concerned. What matters is that, contrary to the context in which that argument is framed, wringing performance out of multiple CPUs in a single system is an almost universal need nowadays. Many of them furthermore need high levels of intra-process as well as inter-process parallelism for that purpose. Threading is not the only way to achieve that, but he never even considers other alternatives. No matter what hairs are split or who tries to claim the biggest credentials, the OP remains seriously time-bound and its applicability to modern systems is weak.

So the diagnosis is a problem with external risk free rate of return (caused by inflationary monetary policy) and improper risk premium valuations on the token itself, and the cure is an inflationary monetary policy for the token also?

Feels like the exact kind of logic that led to the aversion to the way current central banks operate mentioned by the author early in the piece.
If you want to learn more about writing a shell from an undergraduate coursework perspective (and far closer to how bash does things), this is a chapter entirely on writing your own shell: https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/grr/SystemsProgrammingBook/B...

That PDF covers the basics of making your own shell (i.e. splitting input into tokens aka using a lexer, parsing the resulting tokens aka using yacc [a token parser], I/O redirection, piping, executing commands, wildcarding, interrupts, environmental variables, history, subshell, revising what you've typed without having to retype it, etc.).

Every undergraduate CS major at Purdue University is required to do the infamous shell lab (essentially, recreate csh). This project really taught me how shells work. Before doing this project, I could do the minimum in shells, but now I'm fairly competent at it.

Andreas Antonopoulos made a good point that a "countrycoin" would always have a trusted key held by the country's monetary issuing authority which would basically then provide an enormous honeypot to tempt attackers to target it/steal it. OTOH, currencies like bitcoin with fixed monetary policy don't have a backdoor mechanism for money creation (without overwhelming consensus to fork).

Also, I see Political intervention in currency as a bug rather than a feature.

Wow dude. You're the personification of what's so wrong with the bro-culture in tech.

I'm not losing any argument because you're hardly arguing. You're just closing your eyes to facts: Men are educated differently, hence they act differently. Our society is unfair to women and we keep educating our child with the same mistakes.

On the other hand, you're claiming women have "mood swings once per month", I'm guessing you're referring to their period. I can't even find the words to describe how despicable has been your attitude on this whole thread, but this deserves the Nobel prize of misogyny.

You keep trying to paint yourself as the victim, making it all not only disgusting, but pretty pathetic.

The term manspreading is not sexist because it is something you can fix with education, mainly because it's an educational flaw. We're brought up with the wrong values that put women at a disadvantage, yet you want to compare that to having the period.

And I would mention your upbringing when I feel like to, which is usually when you have shown enough proof of a flawed upbringing (which is common, starting with my own). I'm not sure why you think I shouldn't be allowed to mention it, when it's 100% relevant to you holding a specific opinion.

right now, today, tuesday june 13th, 2017, safari will not open a .pdf to a specific page or bookmark, neither on the desktop nor in ios.

chrome can. firefox can. but safari cannot. which means neither the iphone nor the ipad can do it.

imagine if -- on the web -- you couldn't deep-link to an anchor in the middle of a webpage, but merely to (the top of) the webpage itself.

that's not the only deficiency of the .pdf format. it's not even the most galling one. it's just the one that happens to be hamstringing a certain project of mine at the moment. and it's illustrative.

I do this in one of our business' apps. It does strict checking of the Origin and Referer headers when it receives a POST request. We only support modern browsers, and doing this instead of using CSRF tokens feels modern and clean.

I'm paranoid though, so at the last minute, before shipping the first public version of the app, I added a traditional CSRF token check in addition to the Origin/Referer check. I guess it's a layered defense?
> I believe the checkbox you are referring to has disappeared as of build 15063.

I'm on build 15063, and it is there.

> In the Default App panel, if I go into Photo Viewer and click choose a default, I will only see Paint, Pain 3D and "Look for an app in the Store".

It shows the apps that are registered as photo viewers. The fact that IrfanView doesn't show up there means that it doesn't do that. For me, that dialog lists Paint.NET and other non-Store apps. Again, this is on build 15063.

Indeed, even per your description, it lists at least one non-Store app - that being Paint. So it's clearly not locked to the Store.

Now, I don't know exactly what it takes for the app to be considered a "photo viewer", but it seems that you need to have it registered (not as a default, but just generally as a handler) for .jpg and .png? I googled a little bit, and the discussion here indicates that after people did that association in IrfanView settings, it did show up in the app list for Photo Viewer for them:

Not really, no. You've still got the overhead of copying, which can be significant. There's no way you could implement something like, for example, Gaussian elimination with message passing in a way that's just as fast as using locks and barriers.

> the company shouldn't worry or care about its share price in the secondary market

But "the company" is literally owned by people who buy & sell portions of it in the second market. There are only two reasons to buy shares of a company: dividends and price gains. Owners of company first and foremost want their investment to appreciate not depreciate, ergo company cares about share price first and foremost.

I have fond memories of Chuck at MSR-SVC. I was a lowly post-doc who sat close to him for a time. He was very generous with his time and I can only recall his door being open. I was struck by the breadth of his expertise (e.g. he knew about HCI matters even though I considered him a low-level systems guy). I've heard him being called the engineer's engineer and that is an apt title. He inspired me and will be missed. RIP.
Completely agree, and I prefer to use something like message passing whenever possible because for a lot of problems it is the natural solution and has fewer pitfalls than using raw threads.
I had back injuries from weightlifting decades ago and found the only way to eliminate the pain is to "get back on that horse" and start lifting again.

I recently went to extremely low reps with the heaviest weight I can lift. My strength is now increasing rapidly, and it's far easier/shorter than slogging along with 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps each. Only downside: I need more rest. I _never_ hold my breath and go to great lengths to ensure my breathing is steady as I do every lift.

Before I tried this I did the best I could to ensure there were no tendon weaknesses and that my joints were in good condition.
Except where it says:

"However, other studies conclude that gun ownership protects against serious injury when guns are used defensively (Kleck and Gertz, 1995; Tark and Kleck, 2004)."
>To date all major tokens have either a fixed amount of tokens right away or eventually (e.g., BTC) or a rate of inflation that asymptotically goes to zero (e.g., ETH).

These are both incorrect. BTC has inflation that asymptotically goes to zero. ETH has undefined inflation (the current codebase has constant inflation, but has a "difficulty bomb" that is supposed to force a hard fork that will presumably change the inflation).

EDIT: I think I read the OP incorrectly, I think what they meant was that while the rate of coin issuance in ETH is fixed, the inflation as a % goes to zero, and that due to quantization BTC issuance actually hits zero.

I live in NZ we've had helmet laws for a long time. As a teen I had a bad crash. I felt the thud as my helmet hit the concrete then the grind as it slid across the rough road surface. If I'd not been wearing that helmet it would have been my skull left to deal with that initial thud and my face to deal with the friction while sliding along the road. I was pretty banged up but not as badly as I could have been. I was a teen no way I'd have worn a helmet if I wasn't required too.

IRL, shells don't do string manipulation (well, technically everything becomes string manipulation at some point, but in this context not in the normal sense of the term). Shells generally use a lexer to split inputs up into tokens (generally using regex) [0] and then make sense of the inputs using a parser (the most famous of which is called yacc [1]).

[0]: I was going to link to Bash's lex file here, but they appear to do something funky which would require a non-trivial amount of time to find, understand, and write here. So, you'll just have to take my word on this. I give you wikipedia as a substitute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis

It doesn't help that the laws vary from state to state and city to city. In Oregon, it is illegal for a driver to enter the bike lane prior to making a right turn. This leaves right turning drivers blocking cars in their lane while trying to judge an approaching bike's speed and distance using their rear and side mirrors. California's law makes more sense, even though it sounds like too many drivers don't establish a position on the road that makes their intention to turn clear to cyclists.

as with most really high electrical loads, if you can operate it remotely, do so. There's places in North America near major hydroelectric dams with electricity that costs $0.03 to $0.045 per kWh. Running something like this and the cooling needed for a 3kW thermal load on California electrical prices is a good way to burn money.

"The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them in doing, closing a perceived loophole that allowed a person who instructed someone else to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.[1]"
David Bonderman resigns from Uber board after sexist remark
Nginx recently implemented thread pools for blocking operations. The distinction between threads and processes depends on the OS.

The "nothing shared" model used in Linux forking actually shares the underlying memory until the processes diverge (copy on write). The difference between this and threads is that threads expose the shared memory by default.

IMO the difference between threads and processes is somewhat academic.

Terasic makes good Altera boards such as the $100 DE0-Nano series, and Digilent makes a decent Xilinx Artix-based dev board for around the same price. They both have decent community support, but just be aware that setting up the dev environment and getting all of the USB cable permissions sorted out (especially on linux) can take time. It's worth sticking with, though, because FPGAs are a blast to mess around with. The sheer compute power available to you is fun.

Not to be dismissive, but it's very clear you don't know what you're talking about here. Fundamentally, to put oneself in a situation where an accidental discharge (operator-caused or not) poses a health risk, you've already violated several fundamental rules of gun safety. So these things fall very squarely into the realm of "negligent mishandling". I can think of very few scenarios where I would attribute a "cleaning accident" to the gun, as opposed to an ignorant operator.

As for the rest of your comment, that line of reasoning has been addressed thousands of times, so I won't bother being thousands plus one. My firearm usage doesn't involve killing anything, so this should be a big glaring hint that there's an error in your reasoning.

The restrictions just make spyware easier to hide. Malicious users will still be able to bust into devices but removing or detecting them will be harder as you will not be in control of the device.

What about what that curation entails. Should I be forced to watch ads the manufacturer sends me before I can do anything? Should I be forced to pay a rental fee or lose all access to my data? Should all financial transactions be controlled by the manufacturer's prefered system?

The problem with walled gardens is lockin and shareholders would be irrational not to encourage the manufacturer to maximize the profit they can extract from each device. I don't want a device where my every interaction is controlled and monetised to maximize my consumption.
