Should build it with the MySQL client library installed. So should Cygwin, if your Windows doesn't support the Linux subsystem.
It could still be the IDE interface or the ISA bus.

Was the ISA bus as fast as the CPU/RAM on the 5150?
"some 40,000 people per day are hit by "A" car". How can you possibly read this and think this was about the all cars on the road?

Sorry for being cheeky but the parent literally just addressed your question.

C# generics don't have either of those issues, though there's no C# wildcard type, which means annoying workarounds through inheritance when you want a list of wildcard generics.

If you want to minimize the long distance walks add an exponential weight for distance then solve. There are many ways to go about this stuff, but the goal is to map your preferences to the weight function.
What on earth are you talking about?

Erdogan is a vile dictator who is imprisoning anybody who suggests he's not great, and who single handedly ended any meaningful notion of democracy in Turkey.

That's not conspiracy, it's just how it is.

It's morally abhorrent to compare criticism of his actions to 9/11 truth bullshit.

Never mind, some quick research shows that you are a pro-fascist troll who clearly knows that you're lying all the time. However godless fascist losers like you are fine with lying. No point in pretending you're a worthwhile human being.
As an OB dev myself, I could and would remove any amount of built in fees. We can make money providing services to users without rent seeking from everyone.
^ this guy is a 100% pro- Erdogan troll. Truly a waste of oxygen.
I don't think "the west" (if there's even such a thing anymore..) is blaming Erdogan for being Islamist. It's that he's a de facto dictator and using religion to expand his power and rally up supporters. People in power using religion to get more power.. such a novel idea!
> screen time doesn't count

Absolutely false. Screen time is an excellent way of exposing the child to a language and thus learning to distinguish the phonemes that make it up. It can be argued that screen time alone doesn't help too much in learning to speak a language (if by screen we mean a non-interactive one, of course). But it's great for listening comprehension.

Source: starting when she was a baby, I let my kid watch as much TV as she wanted as long as it was in English and not in our language (Spanish). She watched about 2 hours a day, on average. Her mother and I are quite fluent in English and, even though we rarely speak it among us, we encouraged our child to learn it this way, occasionally answering her questions or translating the words that she couldn't figure out by herself. She's now 6 and speaks it pretty well, she can easily maintain a conversation and she is very good at identifying the correct phonemes while listening (even in the cases when she may not know the word). Actually, she's better at listening comprehension than what her mother and I could ever hope to achieve ourselves. Differentiating phonemes is a crucial ability that is learnt optimally at an early age and after only a few years old it cannot be learnt that well (I remember reading an article about this limitation in Scientific American more than 20 years ago, I don't have a link for that).
this is not really new as this has been out for atleast 7 years now. but this really is fast. i think atleast five times faster from what i remember.
Gotta be that apex predator, thats what all legislation is really about.
I don't have numbers right now, but we've been using mydumper/myloader for a long time and it has been much faster for us (we have tables with 1B+ rows).

I should note that the version of `mydumper` in the Ubuntu repos is out of date. IIRC 0.9.1 is the latest and Ubuntu packages 0.6.1 on the latest LTS. 0.9.1 has some good improvements so it's worth building yourself (small utility so quick build time).

As always with database stuff, RTFM and use an abundance of caution. In particular, take care to ensure no bad locking behaviors occur.
That's utter rubbish. In fact, due to the lack of birth control policy over the ethnic minorities, the demographic structure in Xinjiang is changing drastically and the 0~6 years old Han population is less than 10% percent compared to 40% of the adult population. Colonization your ass.

The Han people are furious because the CCP uses Han as a tool to maintain its rule over China but keeps sacrificing the future of Han.

Given the CCP's pro-Hui policy, many of Han people fear that some day China will become an Islamic country like Iran or Malaysia.

When you talk to Uyghurs, don't forget to ask their opinions about the Hui Muslim and Erdogan's Neo-Ottomanism.

I feel sick about the CCP's cruelty but I feel absurd when you blame the ethnic majority for colonization.
I laughed a little while reading this comment. Of course the opposition party blames Gulen, they must be relieved that Erdogan blamed it on Gulen and not on secularists like CHP.

1. Don't get purged out of the establishment

2. Let the Islamist factions fight each other!
Because you are a bigot and believe a half assed report in a half assed paper which was merely sourcing another half assed source aka fake news as the Left/Right calls it.

And the mainstream media actually investigates and reports on issues using facts?

There are obviously serious issues in Xinjiang. But the fantastical stories don't really help matters. The lack of serious reporting on what is really happening is a cause for concern

But even the original article aka spyware is quoting twitter as a source. I'd like a proper translation and confirmation of the sources before believing it. I'd hope the mainstream media is looking into the spyware issue since it's looks like there might be a story there but it's to hard to tell the real story atm.
> I cant find workers even at $25/hr?

How is that possible? What part of the country are you in?

Is it that everyone willing to do the work lacks the necessary skills? Or just that no one is willing?

You can probably go to your local FedEx hub and find a bunch of guys who load trucks for less than $15/hr.
This is a logical backup tool. It doesn't have to run on the same server as the DB.
As jstanley points out, that's our yet-to-be-released version 2. The current version 1 has no Tor support at all and never will (it uses UDP and is incompatible with Tor).
This is a fantastic reply. I am in an exactly same situation as OP. I am first level manager without any authority. Thank you for the books recommendations. Just curious, how do you get to write so good? I want to learn about it and improve my vocabulary as well.
In the same way they could set up a Crack stand on the corner. It would be easy to do but wouldn't work out well for the entrepreneur.
An eye opener for me as well. But lately my kid has been watching some really dumb channels, like the one where American teenagers build toilet paper forts at Costco. I'm not happy that he thinks that is cool, or that he thinks the guy whose "career" is skateboarder is someone to look up to. I don't care how many views that guy gets or how much he is making from YouTube adveritising. That's not a career to aspire to.
With bi-lingual parents (Yiddish, English), I grew up bilingual. In school and some courses at Yivo, I was able to finish off full literacy in Yiddish. I grew up reading/writing Hebrew, too, but it took spending a year in Israel to lose the "Yiddish" accent and speak like an Israeli.

So, if parents are bilingual and you have friends/school where both languages are spoken, it's very easy.
Where were you planning on getting all these organs, though? There's a shortage now, even though transplantation is an unpleasant last resort; unless xenotransplantation is sorted out or we go full Niven (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Gift_From_Earth), it doesn't seem interesting as a routine procedure, even if rejection isn't an issue.
Looks like a good course.
I think it would benefit if they added some module on implementing some basic Linear system of equations solvers, like gradient or steepest descent. Or even GMRES/MINRES or so.. The amout of knowledge that i gained from trying to implement these was remarkable.
Many / most people exisiting now also fail to grasp how bad the future will get on our current course. They fail to realize that modern life is anything but a short-term artefact of fossil fuel gluttonery (every person in the first world has uses the equivalent of 100 fossil fuel slaves. It's easy to mock human slavery when you can burn such a dense source of energy instead) and mild stable climate, both of which are likely to go very wrong this century.

The decision to put more weight on the present is mostly made in ignorance and wishful techno-optimism. Many people still think that we're somehow building a cheap-energy no-death space-faring future, or they're not thinking about it at all (though that does not stop them from making children). Going to space to escape the hard reality of life on earth and then never dying is basically the techno-optimist's replacement for the now outdated concept of heaven.

People on HN tend to go for techno-optimism. This is readily apparent when the AI, singularity delusion is treated as a grave and imminent civilizational problem but fossil fuel, energy shortage and climate change are dismissed with "PV will solve all of this. Evil greedy subsidy-loving coal and oil companies are the problem". Our fossil fuel powered civilization would quickly beg for these "evil" companies to resume their activity if they somehow decided to stop providing oil for a week.

Finally, this preference is also made at the expense of most of the wildlife and biodiversity that exists now (or not long ago for a significant chunk of it), which would very much like to continue exisiting too.
Because gov't tends to control everything over time, as it becomes more and more powerful. Rewind that back to the American Revolution and you'd see the federal gov't being less autocratic and states being more autonomous. The Civil War was a turning point. This is not a case with the UK however, because they did not have an equivalent of the French Revolution.
I'm sorry to break your bubble, but it's just not true. Let's take this apart:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/...

Quote: "In other words, the typical German was more likely to engage in crime than the average migrant."

Source: https://www.thelocal.de/20151113/police-refugees-commit-less...

Headline: "Police: refugees commit less crime than Germans"

Quote: "Interior Minsiter Thomas de Maizière responded to the news by saying: "The current trend shows that refugees are just as unlikely to commit crimes as comparable groups among the current population. The majority of them don't commit crimes, they are seeking protection and and peace in Germany."

Source: https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article148812603/Str...

Actual Quote: "Ganz allgemein sprach Innenminister de Maizière von derzeit verfügbaren „Tendenzaussagen, dass Flüchtlinge im Durchschnitt genauso wenig oder oft straffällig werden wie Vergleichsgruppen der hiesigen Bevölkerung“."

Translation: "We have have information that suggests that refugees commit crime about as often, or as rarely, as comparable groups in the local population".

First of all, the interior minister obviously has a big incentive to downplay whatever problems are caused by the decisions of his administration. Secondly, he's talking about the refugees, not migrants in general. Also, what are "comparable groups"? It's not defined. If it's "comparable", then it's not going to be "typical" nor "average". The information he references is kept "confidential", by the way. In any case, absolutely nowhere does it say that refugees or migrants are less likely to commit crime, even though that's what is being reported by both English sources.

The reality is that crime rate among migrants is higher, for whatever reason. Migrants were responsible for 10-20% (differing by state) of violent crime in 2016, well above their share of the population:
http://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/kriminalitaet-in-deutschl...

This article does mention however that Syrians/Iraqis are less likely to commit those crimes than migrants from other countries.
Why are you limiting the possible technologies? Skyscrapers work.

Housing is a cost of living. Driving the cost of being alive as low as possible should be a high priority. We should use the tools we have to do it.
it's also digital, which makes it unique among non fiat currencies.
Cool info, thanks.

It occurred to me that elevation change could have huge impact on those calculations. More back of the envelope stuff: a 5k ton train requires 13.6kWh to ascend 1m. If such elevation changes are common that would quickly dwarf small values like the power consumption of lights.
They're basically presales, if things work out as they hope. If not, they're worthless.
Right, but then the problem is no longer linear and approximating is more difficult. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "exponential weight" in a linear program, do you have an example?
Agree. My kid started watching toy unboxing videos by American kids on an iPad at a very early age. The recommender system kept new ones in front of him. Even though we don't live in an English speaking country he chose English as his first language quite early. Now the challenge is limiting his screen time and improving his skills in the local language.
I never understood this. Why do companies cut deals for services like twilio offer? Fair & progressively discounting pricing backed by a market leading product would save on sales salaries and commissions while increasing deal flow. I understand the corporate culture around deal making is also too ingrained on the buyers side too however it's long term detrimental to all parties involved. Everytime I've been involved in this type of exchange the only thing on my mind is how useless and irritating the sales team are, while i wonder about competitors with up front pricing who will help speed up delivery of the actual feature /product.
So the way they come to the 40K number is since each moth is about 1/2 calorie, and the bear requires at least 20k calories a day, then they must eat 40k moths/day. Hmm
The topic of global eradication of mosquitoes (and the implication of that) is extraordinarily common. The frequent argument is no species is known to subsist entirely on mosquitoes, implying it may have no or negligible implication on the ecosystem at large.
Don't need to join non daemon thread in Python?
I agree with you but I'm also familiar with the original research the claim about screen time stems from. The claim is that screen time is not effective for "bootstrapping" a different language for very small children - having human interaction does a much better job at that.
A baklava chain, seriously? Did they give free baklavas to the alleged plotters? This is clearely a witch hunt.
Also, it's not that easy to actually get a place in a US residency, even if you are willing to go through it again.
> (ii) When the 1 MB block-size is congested (like it is now), miners make significantly more money on transaction fee's.

One thing I've not understood is, if the miners want more money from fees, why don't they just say "we're not accepting into blocks any transactions with fees lower than X"?

If just one large miner with 10% of the hashrate does this, that instantly puts any transaction with a lower fee than that at a 10% chance of being delayed, and if the fee is still reasonable people will pay it just in case.

And it's not like there's a market of miners. A user can't refuse to deal with a miner or choose who gets to confirm their transaction.
I did some quick searching and found a Newsweek article with the same claim referencing a study where:

"White made that estimation by watching grizzlies with a scope for up to 14 hours per day, while writing his dissertation on the animals at Montana State University-Bozeman. He also counted how many dead moths he could find in each bear “scat,” or pile of poo, and multiplied that by the number of times these bears defecated."

I'd be more inclined to grant linguistic leeway if the parent themselves hadn't jumped on someone else's turn of phrase.

Nutrition science has figured out some things to a high probability. It's still unsure and mystified by others. Don't throw the former out because the latter exists.
I found Wickman's story pretty interesting! Thanks for posting.

There was a lot of interesting info on there besides this post. Ahem -- the post itself was really interesting -- reminds me of how little I know in spite of my interest in space. Gotta get on that!
Think about the system[1], you've got to take a picture, store it, and then downlink it. If you take too many pictures your downlink is overloaded and you run out of memory. Assuming that an HD frame is about 2 megabytes once it is compressed, that is a 2 - 5 mbs downlink speed (depending on error correction). The satellites they launch are tiny and low power so they will have a limited budget for down link bandwidth.

That said, it makes me wonder about things like NROL76 which was a classified DoD payload that SpaceX launched and had no upper stage video from. At what point are there so many of these tiny satellites in orbit that they can pick up the fairing deploy and satellite separation independently? Or have them watch the X37 as it maneuvers around in orbit?

Nice to hear from someone like you; my daughters are currently going along your same path with Japanese. Japanese is a second language to me, but our family has always been Japanese-only despite living in the states.

It's honestly exhausting on all parties involved to try to commit to developing "true" bilingualism; my wife (Japanese) in particular seems to wonder if this level of commitment and effort is really necessary. After all, it's not like our daughters won't be able to speak Japanese if we stop, it's just that the "expected" level of literacy isn't going to be there (sans further effort on our daughters' part, anyway), and we're living in the US, so how important is that in the end?

I too know people who "lost" their chance to keep up with Japanese and regret it now, but there's a real price to pay in developing that, it feels. If nothing else, our daughters "lose" their Saturday, as well as other time to the homework. The saving grace is that our older daughter says she likes the people at the Japanese school better than the her regular American school (which is still a fine school to being with, and a Japanese/English bilingual program to boot).

I'm realizing it's really difficult to know what's best for your kids in the end, and there's some many potential tradeoffs...
I don't think it's just the Yellowstone area. In Jasper I've seen bears doing the same sort of the rock-flipping scavenging. The sheer number of moths they eat is pretty surprising though, I never would have suspected bugs to be such a big food source for bears.
That seems like English? Anyone from any part of the English-speaking world can understand anyone else from any other part, except there are lots of people from England that none of us can understand.
> Sure it can self repair. But it's very slow and only works for minor damage. Id prefer to just swap out the broken part and fix it quickly.

That presupposes one lives in a certain part of the world. There are substantial reaches of the planet where even with commercial shipping access, letting your body heal itself would be faster.
I didn't downvote you and didn't mean to imply your comment suggested otherwise, I was just elaborating.
To me, this just indicates that you aren't familiar with what the human element of modern electronic music is. I definitely understand where you're coming from with trance, I'm not the genre's biggest fan either, but there are certainly methods and techniques of production that give artists unique characteristics. "EDM" that doesn't sound like it was produced by an artist with some sort of vision or goal in mind is simply bad EDM. It's extremely obvious when someone releases a by-the-numbers boring dance track, it's the same thing as the awful pop that plays on the radio.

Anyway, my point is: even music with "repetitive structural patterns overlaid on similar timbres" cannot be replicated with any genuineness by computers. Not yet, and probably not for a very long time. We, as people, can sense the insincerity. Now, if the goal is literally to have repetitive background noise with no real melody or structure then sure we can certainly already do that. But I also would not call that music in the true sense of the word.
Yes, microfounded macroeconomics in general (which is most of the mainstream, as well as Austrian economics) has been a huge step backwards.

I think some of the most promising macroeconomic modelling I've seen has been Steve Keen's complex dynamic systems work, which is all derived from actual definitions and identities, rather than trying to scale up individual behaviour. It's all stock-flow consistent too, which means it ensures everything actually follows the laws of accounting (strangely this isn't necessarily the case in mainstream models).
The article headline is slightly different: it's:

"China's forcing citizens in Muslim-majority region to install spyware on their phones"

Note the "Muslim-majority region", which was missing from the original HN title.

Not single handedly. He had help and popular support from the 60% who voted yes in the referendum to give the Turkish president (currently Erdogan) superpowers. Of course, when you silence your adversaries it's not that hard.

Any party with law or justice in its name is quite the opposite.

There's a post[1] about optimizing DMA performance for a ISA CompactFlash adapter. Port-mapped IO is quoted at around 170KB/s, up to 420 KB/s for DMA transfers of one sector at a time, to 530KB/s on an 8088 with a CF card that supports multi-sector transfers. This is a but faster than the random read speed of the slowest SATA hard drive I have around (a 160GB 5400RPM 2.5" Seagate pulled from a portable USB/Firewire drive). So there are definitely some 16-bit PCs that are fast enough to measure an improvement from Flash storage, but the original 5150 is probably pretty close to that line.
