This is great to see! After 80 years a key piece of shared culture is finally free. I hadn't realized this news.

It is kinda insane that it took until 2015, though. I still somehow doubt that people who get on a high horse about lyrics sites and IP waited until someone with deep pockets was able to fend off a lawsuit in 2015 to sing the song, though.
oh ok, that's fine then.

> Is there another tool that can generate IDE projects, in a cross platform manner, across a wide variety of compilers, operating systems, etc?

You have the problem backwards. IDEs wouldn't need distinct project files if build systems could reasonably describe the project structure out of the box. There is no need for every tool to know about every other tool. This is a solved problem in most modern programming languages.
One obvious issue with Meson is that it's not really available as a (statically-compiled, if you want) binary.

I was an early adopter (years and years ago) of Scons, but the Python dependency turned out to be an absolute disaster, purely in terms of infrastructure (especially that everybody had to have a lot of "things" installed).

While CMake isn't exactly great, a) it is reasonably understandable, and b) the boost build system was essentially a single-project-build system, and c) it's a huge improvement over autoconf, and d) it doesn't need a lot of infrastructure aside from what ships with it (to contrast with 'interpreted' build systems).

Those durability numbers for both Amazon and Wasabi are pure marketing and don't really mean anything even remotely important. Durability of data stored by a single company, even a company like Amazon, is actually very low, you should be scared of how low it really is. You could get kicked out from the service, lose data because of a bug or an operational mistake, be prevented from using the service by your government for political reasons and so on.

the minimap is oriented differently (north is up) whereas the main map view is not; that just contributes to the spatially confusing presentation in my opninion. maybe a rectangle of the full map fov along the minimap path rather than a circle would help mitigate this, I don't know... it's also following the path of the eclipse backwards, which is also distracting.
I see a lot more libertarian ideology appear on the front page than anything else, politics-wise, even if there's reasonable arguments in the comments. From blockchains to direct democracy to universal income, and a while back, an incredible amount of writings on property rights for some reason.

There is no current term, both describe different things

This is the best answer to that, that I've seen: https://twitter.com/corbettmatt/status/891003236412469248
If you track back to the 2016 paper, Fig. 6, you find similar graphs (not as pretty, not interactive) with this explanation:

"Frequency of occurrence (vertical axis) of local seasonal mean temperature anomalies in unit of local standard deviation of Northern Hemisphere land areas."

It takes some time to unwrap the words there. The "anomaly" is the difference of an observation at a particular place and time from a seasonal and/or regional mean value. As you probably know, anomalies are pervasively used in geosciences. So in essence he's standardizing into what in statistics would be called a z-score,

z = (x - mu) / sigma

where mu is the regional/temporal average, and sigma is the local standard deviation.

I guess the above is probably the reason the NYT graphic did not explain it fully.

The main problem with American air bags are that they have to (by law passed in 1984) be designed to work with people not wearing seat belts (unlike Europe)[1]. This means they more dangerous than European ones because they are bigger and must deploy much more explosively. This law is unlikely to be changed for many reasons with the most important one likely being that some car companies like expensive, unique requirements that segment markets and produce barriers to competition.

The anti-systemd trolling puts me off the whole anti-systemd camp as well.

It's dishonest, as far as I can tell: People trying to stir up trouble simply because they think they've found a new stick to poke people with, who don't understand the issue except to the extent it apparently is an issue for some people, but who can damned well be loud and obstreperous and who can make it sound like you're the one who is ignorant and you're the one who should be shamed.

Maybe I'm stepping into a hornets nest by commenting this but after some initial estrangement, I now absolutely love having systemd in the servers I manage. Thanks for providing me with an easy and sane way to manage processes, pretty simple one to configure control groups and other restricted execution environments, monitoring, etc.

That made me see how much time I wasted writing non-trivial init scripts and reworking with the trivial ones. I simply don't want to get back now.

For some places, they say it's illegal to show you pictures unless you sign up for an account. The message is vague enough that it sounds a little BS-y to me- it just refers to "local rules" and not "$specific_area rules".

Why, yes, if you read the full research paper it points out that some classes of instructions have security implications.
The need for the side columns to have a degree of strength is a bigger problem for visibility that the bulk added by side curtains.
Driving '60 and 70's cars was great for visibility due to the amount of glass and narrow pillars. The risk of dying in a relatively low speed accident was less ideal.
I believe this is still the standard in North America.
I would counter that it's up to you to engage your curiosity and track back to the paper if you're interested in the particulars. You don't have to take it on faith, the link is right there in the article.

When I see technology like this and imagine the implications of AI being able to leverage it, it only makes me more pessimistic for the future of our species.
Some are positive, some are negative. Introvert, liberal, wallflower, and humble (or fake humble) definitely don't all seem like they're necessarily positives to me, either. Even some of the ones that are positive can lead to negative consequences for the men who have them, as a group. Introspection and empathy are generally considered good things, but also can lead to the result described in my comment. I'm not really trying to make a judgment about who are better or worse men - I think you have to be digging for that a little bit, if that's what you're reading. It's more just an observation that these traits lead to that result.

I don't know what n-gate is.
Can I join it to my AD infrastructure? Can I access network shares (NFS/SMB) ? I could list off a million "Can I...?" questions but the fact remains that it's a Google Chrome appliance. The detail that hidden underneath is a Linux/Gentoo base is irrelevant. This is no different than your PS4 which runs Orbis, a stripped down OS based on FreeBSD. It's not a real OS targeted for users who want a complete OS computing experience. It's an appliance with a single purpose built upon parts of an existing OS.
You're designing a CPU, and you develop a method for how the CPU will decode and execute instructions. You come up with opcodes for all the instructions you want the CPU to use. As a side effect of your decode/execute method, some of the opcodes you didn't specify do other stuff. Maybe they do the same thing as some of the instructions you planned, or maybe they do weird things that seem meaningless and useless.

Either way, those extra opcodes weren't part of your design, and you don't want people using them. Because maybe a future design of your CPU will use those opcodes for something you actually planned, or maybe you'll figure out a more efficient way to decode and execute opcodes which, as a side effect, will change the way those unplanned opcodes work. So you either just don't document those extra opcodes, or you declare them illegal.

Another thing that can happen is that your CPU is buggy, and some of the opcodes don't do what you planned. The Z80 had undocumented (but commonly used) "shift logical left" instructions. These instructions set bit 0 of the operand to 1, which is strange. It's speculated that these were planned to be ordinary shift operations, but the bit 0 to 1 thing was a bug, and so Zilog just decided to leave those instructions undocumented.

Clickbait. NLP is far from human-level accuracy and dwarfed by the success we have achieved in CV with deep learning.

They found a bunch of instructions, but for most of them we have no idea yet what they do. At least one instruction on some system can cause the system to hang. Some instructions might have interesting behavior on hypervisors. But most likely the vast majority is very boring and does nothing new or interesting.
IMO it takes greater mental gymnastics to justify the current copyright laws which extend far past the life of the author than it does to justify a lyrics site. The current law is almost exactly what Jefferson was worried about when writing about US copyright in its initial form—it locks up vast swaths of modern culture and even that of nearly a century ago.

It's absolutely crucial to understand that law and "right" from an ethical standpoint are not necessarily the same, though that is the ideal state to strive for.

This is not invariant to the size of the document (though agreed, generally better). It doesn't solve the problem of having mostly positive features and a negative prior.

Stated more formally, your model is b + wᵀx. Generally, b is < 0, and E[wᵀx] > 0. As the document grows, wᵀx tends to dominate b. You'll have bias with length as long as E[wᵀx]≠0 and there aren't any constraints on w that would force this.
From Wikipedia:

> All iPods lack Touch ID, 3D Touch, NFC, GPS, an earpiece speaker and a noise-cancelling microphone. Depending on the generation, the iPod Touch may have a smaller or inferior display and camera(s). Newer models (5th and 6th generation) lack the ambient light sensor that makes automatic brightness available.

Also it shares the A8/M8 with the iPhone 6, but it's clocked down (1.1GHz vs 1.4GHz for the phone); both cameras are 8MP, but the iPhone can shoot regular video in 1080p at 30 or 60 fps (vs only 30 fps for the iPod) and slow-motion video in 720p at 120 or 240 fps (vs only 120 fps for the iPod).
And vastly greater than the cost of adding airbags to the car at production time.

Though it can be thought of as varying with latitude in this case, it's much more complicated than that for eclipses in general. So latitude can work as a pragmatic proxy variable in this case but not for all eclipses: e.g. http://www.hk-mcc.net/david/eclipse/image/se20080207.GIF

Hey! Original creator here. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I think you bring up some very interesting ideas.

With the rise of the likes of Google's Magenta project, the use of the word 'art' is brought into question, just as you mention. So as the original dev, I'd like to give my two cents.

I do not consider the outputs of this program as 'art.' Whether or not the code is art is an entirely different question that I don't think is really important to address.

The documentation was a little hastily assembled for a deadline, so the following sentiment is not reflected in it, but the purpose of this project was never to create 'art' with code, it was to demonstrate that there exists a bridge between creativity and code. For me, the output of this program is not art in itself. However, I have used the output as a place to draw inspiration for other pieces of work that I would consider art. In this case, I use the program as an infinite source of inspiration rather than as the art itself.

By the way, I may write a blog entry about this topic in the future. You've brought up very interesting ideas. :)
In Cairo this is a very big issue. I have heard
something like it raising the outside temperature by 15 degrees in the city proper. Those are likely going to be older air conditioners not following the latest standards though, and I don't know what the broader impact beyond Cairo is.

Pessimism reflects their false and possibly unacknowledged reality that life is meaningless. I don't know what the motivations are.

Consciously: perhaps trying to impress other authors/screenwriters of the same ilk. Perhaps trying to make money; to be famous.

Unconsciously: perhaps trying to project their despair onto the public. By attributing the feeling of despair to an external cause (which they help to create!) they get relief because they don't have to acknowledge and face it internally. Crazy, I know, but ultimately evil is unknowable and it's better not to dig too deep.

If you assume that the property tax on those homes was .011, which is the 1% baseline plus possible voter-approved add-ons, you get $48.4 million per $1 million of value of the average home among the 4400. I paged through the report that is linked to the article [1] and it says that about $9.5 million is the city's share of the property tax revenue (table on page 14 of the consultant's report). So there's a gap to be understood.

A recent Tim Ferriss post I read recommended literally drinking a bunch of coffee before practicing in front of the mirror/your friends/whatever so you'll be ready for that feeling when you are giving it for real.
No doubts this is not true. We never solve the problem of understanding.
Contexts might not like nice, but they really are in practice.
How could the net increase in tax revenue only be $1M?
At 4400 units, that would be only be $227 per unit per year.

While prop 13 limits increases, for new units, they would be assessed at current value.

I have an example where context works well for me.

I have built an app[0], the app allow user to submit links, either using our web ui or via a bot.

When using web ui, they have to login, hence we associate the links with that user. The bot is different, everyone submit via the post share the same `Bot` account.

In other words, the process of inserting a link from web ui or via bot is a bit different. Without context, I would use different module or some branch code to distinct between them. I think context solves that nicely for me.

You can do exactly this with the Haskell "servant" framework. Works great. It's in fact even more powerful than this. Your routes are first class, so you can pass them around and generate type-safe links.

It also doesn't require any "meta" level programming, just plain Haskell.
And Haskell is blazing fast, not far behind C++ (especially when using high level C++ APIs like std::string)
