> It seemed to me that he was interjecting with arbitrary comments

No, he's having fluent and meaningful exchange of words with those interviewees.

> Chinese speaker here

You're definitely not a native speaker.

> almost like mocking the Chinese staff

I'm not sure why you interpreted it that way but there's absofreakinglutely no mocking people in there, hey.

All of those whom he interviewed were speaking Mandarin with different degrees of accents and apparently the guy has some pretty decent level of command of the language so he can still converse with most of them no problem. The last one he interviewed (starting from 03:30) spoke with a heavily accented version of Mandarin so even I had to pay attention to understand like, 80% of what he was saying; the reporter probably had issues understanding him as well so he just smiled and nodded. Overall I found the reporter's usage of Mandarin as well as his interaction with others to be very natural.

I am a native Mandarin speaker.

From what I can gather from a quick look at the 802.11e QoS spec* this is pretty much spot on. Many wireless clients (e.g. many phones) ping in order to discover networks faster than the access point's broadcast interval and to connect to 'hidden' APs that might not broadcast. In response, a malformed WME packet could be sent that the wireless chipset would listen to and parse.

*I am definitely not deeply familiar with WME.

I agree with you, but I was learning javascript and wanted to write something with it that could solve my form related problem. I tried using some libraries but some had bad notations and some did not work as expected. I wrote it on my own and thought to share it with people who have gone far beyond in js
and get their feedback. That is why I shared it.

According to the article, the main problem is an unclear environmental impact. Those nets are treated with insecticides, which are washed into the water when used for fishing. They also have much smaller holes than actual fishing nets, which leads to potential overfishing (because fish can be caught before adulthood).
Oracle does pretty well running OLTP and analytics workloads concurrently against the same schema. While I don't generally recommend doing so, you can fire off massive scans or complex joins against a production system doing thousands of transactions per second and it handles it just fine.

In my view, one reason that we don't see huge demand for this combination is that the schema that makes sense for analytics is often different from that which makes sense for the online system.
Just take the Lenovo laptop for example. I don't know which model it is, but some models are incredibly practical. They have very long battery life, beautiful keyboards, and are built like a tank.

> The nets are treated with toxic chemicals which kills the fish in the ponds/rivers, and might be dangerous for humans who drink the water.

Are we at fault for handing them out without proper education? Do they know that these nets are laced with poison? I mean if it only hurt the people who are fishing, maybe I could live with it but it hurts everyone (kind of makes me think of second hand smoke but worse).

Something they didn't bring up in the video is that a lot of fish (the net is indiscriminate) can help keep mosquito population in check. Just another thing to pile on the list.

Maybe we need to stop sending nets treating with toxic chemicals to that part of the world. This just looks like a road paved with good intentions.
This is so America-centric it baffles me, you sound delusional, especially that you think countries will convert to imperial. There is no country in the world thinking about that, and a lot of countries have converted from imperial to metric.

Your biggest complaints are that (1) metric units are not quantities you use in everyday life and (2) that you don't know how large a metric quantity is.

Both are just because you are unfamiliar with the system, people working with this system do not have this problem at all. Regarding (1), people don't care that a litre is too large too drink, they just know that a glass is 0.2-0.25L, so you can get 4-5 glasses out of a litre bottle. The benefit base 10 units is that they're easy to convert and use, people don't care if something is in cL/dL/L because it's just a comma placement away.

Regarding (2), people have a very good feeling about how big their everyday units are. E.g. a metre is about a step (large/small step depending on your size), that's fine for rough measurements, and about as (in)accurate as your "a foot is my forearm".

"SoftXMLCMS is written in JavaScript and requires IIS with support of Microsoft Classic ASP."
Color me extremely skeptical that current-generation AI can ever write decent quality news articles, even on the "easiest" subjects (i.e. non-emotional topics that may be most amenable to computerization). Sure, an AI might be able to produce the type of contradictory and fundamentally meaningless strings-of-words that characterize Trumpian speech, but even that would lack a unified agenda behind it. Even Trump seems to appeal to some raw masculine #MAGA emotion pretty consistently, but I doubt an AI would be able to do even that. If an AI could produce decent news articles with consistently meaningful statements, I think it would have huge implications for linguistic theory. Currently, we have no way of representing abstract semantic meaning in a computer, for example when I say the word "justice", you all know what I'm talking about because you all have embodied experiences of "justice" (or its opposite) in your personal lives (e.g. bullying). An AI simply never had access to this kind of embodied, experiential input. It only has access to patterns of strings that we humans produce. And so why should we expect an AI to be able to ever produce the same output that we produce when it has access to less input? Sure, one might argue that news articles are not novels, and so require a lower threshold of understanding to produce. I don't think so. We tend to underestimate the embodied nature of even the most basic use of language[0].

Thanks for sharing this link, I have however used this library. Things that I did not like in this because of the following reasons

1. I cannot put the values of one object inside the other unless they come under the same parent.

2. Arrays in my case can be created in one go and you need not specify the array indexes hard coded in the html itself.

3. In my case some inputs were not inside any forms. This library mandates that it should be so it did not work for me.

I understand my code will be far less sophisticated but I made it to solve a problem and learn javascript as well. I did and wanted to see how many others face the same problem and can use it.

All to often TV has an interpreter and is editing together to make the interviewer seem like they understand. Even worse, the interviewer reads the question in English and then the interviewee responds in the native language, clearly having been told the question already.

It's wonderful to see people having a normal interaction in a language that isn't English.

One thing that immediately comes to mind it: storage locality. S3 will by design always be at fixed (known) distances to the retriever. On the other hand distributed storage may end up having better locality (depending on where in the world you are accessing the data from).
Having lived in both central Stockholm and central Madrid, I wholeheartedly support the requirements for parking spaces. People will own cars, and they need to be somewhere.

The regulation could be relaxed to allow separate garages or parking lots within a reasonable walking distance, but the books should be balanced.

In Stockholm some builders have argued that people might soon drive electric box carts or some other environmental camouflage for getting rid of the parking lots and cram in more expensive flats.

This spin was successful in one area but the sales prices were as high as usual and the savings where just added to the builders profit which is considerable to begin with.
I expect that a couple years from now, this viewpoint (and most of this thread!) will be seen as really offensive.

> AMD gets credit for 64-bit largely because Intel refused to do so

Yeah, no. Amd64 was made at a time where AMD was on top of its game, they released to the general public first while intel64 still wasn't ready, and microsoft annonced both that 1. windows was going to support amd64, and 2. windows was not going to support two different instruction sets for x86_64, effectively forcing Intel to implement the amd set which they still need to licence to this day.

Calling it "Intel let AMD get the credit because they couldn't be bothered" is either a lack of information over what happened or a nice rewrite of history, back then Intel was already feeling the effect of monopoly without competition which made them late on everything and pushing their pentium4 against the upcoming athlon 64 monster.
Better is when games are treated like art, not consumables that you churn out every year to milk the brand/franchise.

I knew I'd be accused of nostalgia because people have the tendency to talk out of their ass without knowing the subject. While I do hold a degree of nostalgia, I am capable of seeing when a game ages very badly, and I also enjoy some modern games quite a lot. My opinion that games today are worse is based on a long history of playing games and seeing if the newcomers are a revolution, evolution or recycled material. Most of the stuff that comes today is either recycled crap or, worse, a terrible idea that someone thought would be good. For example, Divinity original sin is a good RPG to couch coop with friends and family, but the complete mash of ideas (zombies, necromancers, trolls, ogres, and much more, a children's recipe basically) makes it very frustrating; good execution gameplay wise, but atmosphere and immersion are kind of bad. Would write more but I'm on mobile.
True, but irrelevant to the issue of cartel behaviour. Granting limited monopoly rights to people for their own discoveries The can give net benefits to the economy in some cases. Such as patents encouraging investment in technology research. Simultaneously market monopolies established through predatory pricing and cartel deals can stifle innovation and harm customers.

There is no single ideologically pure one true best answer in all cases. The real world just doesn't work that way.

>It blows my mind that virtually every major city in the developed world is facing this same problem, yet nobody is doing anything about it. It's a pretty simple problem with a pretty simple solution.

If it's a local problem with local solutions then why did it happen to more or less every major city in the developed world at the same time? Weird parking regulations are specific to Los Angeles.

It could be that wealth inequality is the primary cause of all of this but what do I know? I'm not the kind of person who would make a ton of cash if Los Angeles building regulations were slashed.

Ironically the architect actually indirectly points this proximate cause by pointing out that land prices have skyrocketed. He just didn't think to question why.

If land prices keep going up investors' incentive to treat apartments like bars of investment gold will keep going up too. If wealth inequality gets worse, more of that money will be stashed in land (luxury apartments), causing prices to rise. All of this will happen whether or not Los Angeles parking regulations are cut.

If California rolled back prop 13, on the other hand, that would help somewhat to de-goldify land and provide enough money to the state budget to build affordable housing the old fashioned way it has always been built: by the government.
Applying to the right places is also key, many job boards simply post up fake jobs for their numbers. Stackoverflow and university job boards are normally legit places to start from. Don't even get me started on graduate schemes.
In the paper you shown

"One mathematical consideration that influenced LISP was to express programs
as applicative expressions built up from variables and constants using
functions. I considered it important to make these expressions obey the
usual mathematical laws allowing replacement of expressions by expressions
giving the same value. The motive was to allow proofs of properties of programs
using ordinary mathematical methods. This is only possible to the
extent that side-effects can be avoided. Unfortunately, side-effects are often
a great convenience when computational efficiency is important, and “functions”
with side-effects are present in LISP."

Reading above, in his original idea, he clearly had the idea of mathematical pureness for LISP, but for practical reasons the real implementation became one with side-effects.
You're suggesting they would have cut that because it was effective...?
> Always try to exchange for code not tokens (don't allow response_type=token).

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the implicit flow if the application (including in-browser ones) is requesting the token for itself (and not for some server or any third party). In case of a standalone app that would be just an extra meaningless step.

There is a slight difference in presence/absence of refresh token, though, but that would make implicit flow more secure (because, if standard-compliant, there won't be any refresh tokens at all), not less.

In case of a browser, the token would end up in the browser's history, but given that a) if browser itself is compromised game is already over, and b) that it's not possible for other parties to access the history (besides some guesswork that doesn't work for tokens), paired with a fact that c) such tokens should be short-lived, it's not a big deal.

> User own resource id should be avoided. Use /me/orders instead of /user/654321/orders

This has absolutely nothing to do with security. TBH, I don't see any issue if /me/ would be a redirect or an alias for /user/654321/. That may make perfect sense if a conceptual purity is desirable ("for each object there is one and only one URL - the canonical one"), with its pros and cons.

> Don't use auto increment id's use UUID instead.

Similarly, that barely has anything to do with security. One just has to understand that sequential IDs are trivially enumerable (and an obvious consequence of this fact - that API consumers would be able to enumerate all the resources or, at the very least, estimate their cardinality).

And as for the security - it should've probably said UUIDv4, because if one accidentally uses e.g. UUIDv1 their IDs would lose the unguessability.
For me it works a bit differently. The photographs you referred to (and I do know them) make me very sad but also it is difficult to relate (not sure if it is the proper verb), maybe because I don't have kids.

The shots from this story though, I can relate. I can imagine myself (as a middle aged male) in a war going against live rounds and it is very scary. I can imagine both being a civilian, unable to do anything or a soldier going at the heart of the conflict and I hope I will never have to be in such a position.

I think there is a reasonable argument that Intel "refused" to create a cheap 64bit competitor to IA-64, which they tried to push "serious" users (server business) to. When the shoe dropped that only pushing Itanium wasn't going to work, AMD already was ahead on the 64bit extension to x86.

Lytro doesn't quite work the same way. It doesn't capture the phase of the light, so it's a bit more limited.
That's correct. As a sibling has said, there other ways to do it but most the pdfs I need to work with are done by simply remapping in order of occurrence. (E.g., if an X is the first char in the doc, it's referenced as \1). You can tell subset fonts because they're named as RANDPREFIX+fontname so different subset fonts from the same base font won't collide.

You can get a good overview of the state of the fonts in your PDF using:

pdffonts file.pdf

There's a column which tells you if there's s Unicode map available for the font. That's important. Because PDF is just rendering glyphs at positions, it doesn't even know what the character names are. To allow you to copy and paste, most fonts in most pdfs will have a Unicode map from the glyph id to the Unicode symbol.

If that's not available, in some cases you can rebuild it yourself by looking at the character encodings and substitutions.

On the book, do you have any examples? I'll probably never get around to writing anything down, but if it looks easy enough it's probably worth having a stab at.

Also, large caveat, I'm not a PDF or font expert. I've probably decimated the terminology here but hopefully it gives you a rough idea.

The Empire State buildings base is almost 2 acres x 443.2 m tall and a square km is 247 acres. 2 * 443m * 37 million / 424 million (424,000 thousand) / 247 ~= 0.3m so covered to the depth of 1 foot. Which seems more reasonable.

I'm not sure what that means, but I'm skeptical. Java for example shows a steady decline over the whole span of the graph. Then in 2015 it has a massive surge, then in 2016 a massive decline. C shows a similarly enormous decline , of over 50% in 2016. Did the amount of C programmers really drop by half in 2016?
