Is this really true? I'm Chinese and I don't know how true this is. (This is also anecdotal so take from it what you will.) I mean there's always the shallow brutal truths ("you're looking plump" etc) but there's a lot of burying of truths about real shit/straight up denial. I feel like it's less about respect for folks who tell the truth and more about listening to your elders/your superiors and knowing your place in your family/society and being dutiful to that role.

so the only "catch" is $3.90 a month minimum?
Trends in Cloud Computing: Who Uses AWS, Who Uses Azure? – Stack Overflow Blog
I've used Pelican before and I'm currently using Jekyll, but this looks interesting enough to try on a small blog/project, and I like what I see. I wish it were more blog-oriented, or have a blog plugin, so it makes creating/managing blogs easier.
Intel Beats Earnings Estimates, Posts Strong Growth Despite Renewed Competition
yes, and it's awesome, but you should go to the other comment explaining where the proper announcement discussion actually is
> costs of development might outweigh the benefits somewhat

Shouldn't it be the other way around? If it is a joint operation by a few countries, and it can be accessible to the whole world, the cost will be less than the textbooks kids are buying today.
True, but Cmake has a lot of users already familiar with it and who have it pre-installed. So I applaud this change to use Cmake!
That site was absolutely atrocious. Spent a few minutes removing elements with uBlock's tool; parsing all the scripts with uBlock, Privacy Badger. After all was said and done, didn't even read the article - just couldn't. Incredible.

> I don't see why people would choose the touch over a low-end iPhone. It's basically the same device without cellular network capabilities.

Because it has no ongoing cost associated with it, like a cellular contract does. And it appears to be a lot cheaper. The iPod Touch has the same CPU and GPU as the iPhone 6 (albeit a smaller display; it's 4" while iPhone 6 is 4.7"). An iPhone 6 starts at $549 (without financing). An iPod Touch with 128GB of storage is $299.
Shuffle was great for things like jogging and other outside activity (for those of us that don't care about Endomondo, and letting the whole world know that you jogged). Nano is much easier to let go.
Well, if we take the people who would install ring in the first place and have some tiny server at home that can actually install software I would say the chances go up significantly.

It could use some streamlining, e.g. get it into package managers for whatever distro is running on it, automatic pairing (multicast on the local network), maybe detection of compatible devices.

UX is basically a separate set of problems you have to solve on top of making it work technically.

I read that there have been cases of poorly briefed Ukrainian tank crews escaping and leaving behind tanks that had huge holes in armor despite the armor working as intended and preventing damage to anything important and tank still being fully operational.

Separatists took these over and patched/replaced the broken armor piece and used them.

It might all have been bullshit though and I can't find that article from years ago(and it wasn't in English anyway).
How Netflix DDoS’d Itself to Help Protect the Entire Internet
I used to love my shuffle since running with a phone wired up to headphones sucks (well, before the iPhone, an iPod). I'm quite happy with bluetooth headphones for the gym today though, it doesn't solve the running problem completely, but works perfectly fine for a stationary machine.
I have an iPod touch and (perversely) like not having data when I'm out. I can still use Google Maps and connect to WiFi when necessary, but prefer when my psychic default isn't always "plugged in".

Of course, I'm a market of one. I imagine the real reason the iPod touch still exists is for kids too young to have phones.
5 years of Ethereum development experience is longer than Ethereum has been around. These boilerplate Wanted ads won't attract developers with bleeding-edge skills.
AMD gave Intel a run for their money in the early naughts. Their chipset designs were inferior to Intel's but they had great CPUs. But then Intel took a page from HyperTransport (QPI) and AMD64 (IA64/x86_64) and released far superior parts with the Core and Xeon brands.

If there was a monopoly over the last decade it was only because AMD wasn't producing a competitive offering. It was not because of marketplace abuses like Intel's been accused of in the past.

Aside from being crushed right now, Redfin has one of the better real estate listing browsing experiences IMHO.
They may still sell them, but that surprises me because the story is correct, they stopped developing them. Nobody works on the AirPort anymore. They're just selling the last device they had, and it's only a matter of time until they stop. I'm actually surprised they haven't stopped already.
Looks really interesting and promising, but why didn't they make it front control like the Land Rover FC101.

Title is misleading, "Animal spirits" is a phrase used by John Maynard Keynes to refer to exuberance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_spirits_(Keynes)
The iPod Touch is still incredibly popular among kids since it doesn't require a cellular contract. Given that most schools and places have wifi an iPod Touch is great on the budget.
Isn't this just normal evolution of language? Like how terms like "uppercase" have meaning even though we don't keep letters in cases (most of us anyway!). It's not like every domain extension has to match a game genre, but if, by fluke, it became what happened for "io games" ... That's how words get their meanings. Which is a long way of saying I disagree that it's strange!
>By providing all the necessary clues to convince his audience that what they saw was truly “scientific,” Hörbiger’s doctrine “produced sensations of authenticity that made the distinction between ‘serious’ scientific work, committed to objectivity and rationality, and mere dramatic banter about it almost impossible, at least for the broader public,”

Did 'sensation of authenticity' leap off the page to anyone else? That is the exact phrase I would use to describe most enterprise sales decks.

I'm guessing the apple watch is the replacement. It tracks cardio and can independently play music stored on it via bluetooth.
Its hilarious too because this is such a minor part of the CPU manufacturing process. Especially for the _enthusiast_ market.

Then you consider this is their answer to AMD's new chips, cutting corners...
If we were to talk about human organizational models the way we talk about network topologies the conversation would be so much more productive. We could talk about uptime, failover, backups, consensus and other objective qualities.

No matter what form of government you support, I think the organizational model can be represented as some form of game (in the game-theory sense) that can be replicated and compared to other organizational models. For example, imagine a wide scale battle simulation where players join a team based on how the chain of command is organized. This would allow you to test centralized/decentralized/hybrid models or organization in a way that gets better over time.

My prediction is that a hybrid model would win. Instead of a pure top-down, or bottom-up model - you'd have something like a RAFT protocol organizing the squads. This way there's no general you can take out, and there's consensus among what the battle plan is.
I think they'd be better off selling them at 120K. The design on that thing is brutal (in a good way). I think collectors would buy them and they wouldn't have to worry about scaling their manufacturing.
Keep in mind, that there's an big amount of propaganda going on in the comments and a lot of selective arguments floating, so don't take a single comment for an absolute truth. (including this comment)

One thing is for sure, that there are many dynamics at different levels in conflict around this situation.
Bleep, BitTorrent Inc's p2p messaging client, already does a lot of this. It uses the bittorrent DHT for fast peer discovery and does device pairing via QR codes, including p2p state synchronization. We do use a central server for identity lookup based on email/phone number, because squaring Zooko's triangle seemed a bit too ambitious. We also use relay servers to get around NAT so uPnP is typically needed for true p2p operation, but the client still functions just fine without it.

The client itself is closed source, but we have open sourced a key portion of the code which deals with the DHT. https://github.com/bittorrent/scout
> spectrum consists of some of the smartest people you'll ever meet and some of the absolute dumbest people

Wouldn't that be true for every country ?
Fun fact, there is a very healthy after-market for the iPod shuffle among swimmers.

The device can be easily and robustly waterproofed and is small enough to clip to your goggles. I expect many of these 3rd party companies will be buying up remaining shuffle lots.
It makes sense if they are all knockoffs of successful games that were hosted in the .io TLD, though
Or an 'i game', a game that takes only input and provides no feedback. Like waving your hands in the air and pretending you are playing a VR game; or a Karate kata.
Step 1 - write a talk. Or several. Aim for 20mins. That’ll do to start.

Step 2 - present at a company meeting or local meetup. Take notes on what works & what doesn’t.

Step 3 - repeat until you feel confident that you’re comfortable doing this. You’ll start to find your voice and beats that work. Can be the same talk at different places but I suggest a couple just to mix it up for you.

Step 4 - submit proposals to conferences. Start local if possible, smaller is a good way to start with (less competition).

See step 3 :)
Storage is cheap on any cloud, the network egress is expensive.

1. Wasabi:
Storage: $.0039/GB/Month
Egress: $.04/GB

2. AWS:
Storage: $0.023/GB/Month
Egress: $.05-.09/GB (even lower if you're big)

Sending data one outside of AWS costs equivalent of 2-4 months of storage.
Spain Has a Debt Problem and So Now It Has a Zorro Problem
Because there isn't really many known profile in that field with each a pool of experienced users wanting it, like there is eg in code editor (where most major editor offer a set to mimic vim, emacs, visual studio, ...).

There is only "the norm" and "other random stuff nobody asked for". The norm being the ones used since forever in office and copied by every other office suite since.

And frankly your average office user (John from accounting, Denise from marketing, ...) does not have as much will to learn new shortcuts as devs do. So if devs insist on keeping theirs, it's obviously not even a question for the others.

Really weird move there by libreoffice.
rather "never sell directly", what about "share"? Form a new company that gains shared access to data and ... profit.
...what? Perhaps you can clarify what you mean.
Interestingly the modern alt-right, which is largely a 21st century post-social-media rebranding of Nazi ideology, has its own very strange occultism:

https://pepethefrogfaith.wordpress.com

https://pepethefrogfaith.wordpress.com/smug-pepe-sure-makes-...

There's a lot more. The rabbit hole goes deep and gets extremely bizarre.

There's also a strong affinity between the alt-right and some of the more bizarre currents of conspiracy theory: the flat Earth movement, Apollo hoax conspiracies, weird alternative theories of history like ancient alien wars, and the absolute wackiest 9/11 conspiracy theories (e.g. controlled demolition with energy weapons from space). You can see this very clearly if you look at overlapping participation and moderation of various Reddit forums and at the similarity of jargon and propaganda.

Historically it seems like totalitarian movements usually employ what we might term "radically anti-rational bullshit" as signaling. The Soviets did it too with Lysenkoism and statistical/mathematical quackery designed to bolster Lenin's theories.

It seems to serve both for social signaling within the movement and as a straightforward ideological stance on the profound and radical rejection of reason.
I think the secret is just to apply. You'd be surprised how few people apply to give tech talks at conferences, especially local oriented ones. If you want to give talks at more major conferences I've found it helps to have some sort of public profile about your topic.

In my case I used to blog a ton and one of my blog posts was about doing realtime processing with Django (before it was built in to the framework). So I submitted a short proposal for Djangocon and ended up getting selected to give a 3 hour tutorial talk. It was definitely a bit scary having my first major talk be 3 hours long, but as long as you know your topic pretty well you'll do great!
The ad does not ask for 5 years of Ethereum development experience.
I suppose I'm arguing against the adoption of such a vernacular. It's just a web game.
* Practice in private. Practice, practice, practice. People will tell you that you can over-practice a talk, and that's true, but it's not true the first time you're giving a talk. Or the third.

* Practice recovering when you lose your thread. The difference between amateurs and professionals isn't that professionals don't make mistakes, it's that they recover from them without it affecting the rest of their performance.

* Learn how to trick your brain into thinking that fear is excitement. You don't have to be able to do it very long, just the ten seconds before you're about to start, but it makes all the difference.

* Talk about something you know inside out. This helps with confidence, with recovering from losing your thread, and with answering questions.

* Keep it short and sweet (if people are interested they will ask questions), but remember that you'll talk faster on stage.

* Learn to periodically check your speaking speed, to pace yourself, and slow down when needed.

* Find a slide style you are comfortable standing in front of when it is projected. I know, I know, but it does make a difference.

* Ignore any advice that doesn't work for you.
> I don't see why people would choose the touch over a low-end iPhone

So they can give their kids what is essentially an iPhone but not have to worry about a cellular plan. Then they get all the games/goodies/Apple Music/Netflix at home on wifi.
I was introduced to this by my friend's (USA) elementary school age kids last year - they showed me a lot of games on the .io TLD. mope.io was popular for a time - it's seems pretty pointless from watching people play it over the shoulder.
I don't think they're requiring 3-5 of ETH experience per this job posting, but that's not to say the recruiter doesn't inadvertently filter it out.

I didn't say it was full proof. It was the best compromise given how the world works.

Supreme Court can still function to validate laws against founding constitutional rights.

But, I do agree, majority will have its way most of the time. If minority has a grievance, it has to address the same way people holding any other minority of opinion would deal with it... make majority see things your way.

Gay partners should be able to adopt. Make majority see it your way.
We should have not criminalize marijuana use. Make majority see it your way.

In fact Civil rights have more advantages than people with majority race, ethnicity, religion but holding a minority opinion e.g. euthanasia. At least for Civil Rights there are courts to go to, majority has agreed to have that as a recourse just for Civil Rights opinions.

I honestly think minority Civil Rights are only possible when majority is doing good, economically and emotionally. Because, Civil Rights need to be enforced through education, and might of the state, which is the majority at the end of the day.

Sure, Gay rights and no slavery exists in USA, mostly because majority sees it that way. In Saudi Arabia or in ISIS territories those rights don't exist.

Civil Rights only exists where majority agrees that Civil Rights deserve to be honored. If they didn't, it wouldn't. We can feel as uncomfortable as we want about it, but that's just how the world operates. Unless there are technological advantages where one assumes god position enforcing Civil Rights of each individual without any external dependency, I don't see if that way of how the world operates could ever be changed.
I did not get as dramatic of results as you.

Miss Dickinson really knew how to throw a punch.
I do course guides and question sets to support teaching in LibreOffice Writer (at home) and OpenOffice (at work). In the 60 page range, with lots of formulas, diagrams (drawn with drawing tools) and some bitmap images (scans of hand drawn graphs). I also copy in charts and graphs and more complex drawings from Calc/Impress as needed. No complex 'section' schemes or restyling though just writing straight through.

The size in Mb varies according to the number of scans - the drawings and diagrams themselves take little file space. A 100 page course guide comes in around 2Mb as an .odt with half a dozen scanned plots.

Seems sprightly enough on a core-duo laptop with 2Gb ram and KDE at home and the usual 'office PC' at work.

Ehhh the Zoe Quinn stuff that gave it it’s name did but the Anita nonsense and hate started May 2012 & all GG did was provide that kindling a spark. The “journalism” canard started with Anita, it just became a meme with Zoe.

They might still be selling them but it's not wrong that they haven't developed them either.

There hasn't been a new one in over 5 years and while most of their hardware has supported 802.11ac for 3-4 years (iMac since 2014, Retina MacBook Pro since 2013, iPhone/iPad since 2014) their first party wireless router doesn't.
You didn't say Marxists. You were speaking specifically about Marx and how nothing Marx says is worth taking seriously. Marx and Marxists are related but distinct things. So, one: lift with your knees, goalposts are heavy. Two: come correct if you try to play this game in the first place.

I'm being a little condescending--and I stress, a little--because you are acting like someone against whom the best rhetorical tactic is condescension as you have been literally seething in every word even before I posted a single thing--best to toss off one-liners and irrelevant links so you can get that dopamine feels-good-man rush, right? Because that way you can tell yourself how you're triggering so many liberals. But for real, it's a waste of your precious, precious time to "share your actual thoughts". You should go back to being a Thundering Capitalist Captain Titan Man of Industry and never post here again, right?

(And, spoilers: I'm neither a Marxist nor even really much of a social democrat. I just don't like half-assed trolling by people who act like they got too mad to stick around /r/badhistory.)
But Cmake has support for IDEs like Visual Studio. That is a huge benefit compared to Bazel.
It's actually interesting to me that they explain what they store:

"The Roomba 900 Series vacuuming robots capture mapping and navigation information via vSLAM, which stays on the robot. On all WiFi-enabled Roombas, usage data (e.g. how long did it clean, how far did it go, did it encounter any error codes, is it functioning correctly) can be sent to the cloud so it can be shown on the customer's mobile device. Images used for navigation are NOT sent to the cloud."

Have to give them props for being so specific. That being said.. still don't know if I trust them, and I am sitting with my Roomba 960 vacuuming under my feet lol
Just to add to what the others have said:

1. Immutable values by default avoids whole categories of problems. Just for one example, you can't have a data race between two threads if all the public values accessible from each thread are guaranteed immutable.

2. F# forces all cases to be handled. You've doubtless run into C# code that has a switch statement that doesn't have cases for all possible inputs, and no default case. F# doesn't have a direct equivalent of "switch" at all, but it does enforce completeness in the equivalents it does have. For example, it's illegal in F# to say something like "if foo > 1 then ... elif foo < 1 ..." since that leaves the 0 case unhandled. This is not just about better compiler warnings: it's required by the very fact that "if/else" is an expression, not a statement, so all branches must produce a value for all inputs.

3. F# has units of measure data types. Ever had an application bug because you've incorrectly passed a bare "int" value holding milliseconds to a function expecting seconds? I have. F# lets you define your units as part of the data type, so that it's a compiler error to pass milliseconds to a function expecting seconds.

I could go on, but as you can see, there really are substantial differences in practice between F# and C# code.
The COBOL that's been running their systems for the last 50 years doesn't even have blog articles.

I know they use ripgrep¹ for their project-wide search feature. I'd imagine that the other native code would also be separate processes whose output is parsed, or in C / C++ / Rust libraries that live in their own repos and that they use via bindings which would themselves only be JS / TS code (and might live in separate repos as well).
