I don't know that it "is", but it certainly can be. In Python there's just too many ways to screw with the meaning of "a.b" at runtime; it could be in the class dict, it could be a property, it could be modified via a couple of methods on the class, it could be screwed with a couple of other ways too IIRC. You have to write some sort of code that either proves these things can't happen, which gets really hard as the program scales up, or code that checks for them happening. Other languages that can be "dynamic" but still have only one or two things to be checked can be much more easily JIT'ed.

Katrina was not a poor prediction of the storm, it was the levee that broke combined with a depressed geometry that made it so disastrous.

And we could not have advised people to evacuate days ahead. Thursday morning, it was just a tropical storm. Suddenly, around lunchtime, it was a category 3 and my business launched business continuity planning procedures. By the end of the day, it was a cat 4. It made landfall the next day. Evacuation would have only put those people outdoors when the storm hit.

The demand is not there. Most people who live in Austin don't commute to Houston for work, and vice versa. I'd venture a guess to say that even regular business travel for workers out of Austin and Houston is not to their neighbor city, but to the coasts (which are thousands of miles distant, making even high speed rails impractical in most cases, compared to aircraft).

If the demand isn't there, why spend untold billions filling it?

Waves is a proof of stake platform, there are several large pools staking.

I mean maybe thats marketing speak if you don't understand it.

The cool thing about waves is that its fun, and that you can lease to people that want to be pools and earn fun stuff. The questionable thing is if the leasing has resulted (or will result) in consolidation making it not distributed.
The context was extremely different. Nowadays there are mechanisms, organisations, and plans that prevent minor incidents from escalating. You cannot compare the world of today with the world of 1914.

Also the war did not "start over an assassination". It's much more complex than that, and the assassination was just the pretext.
Ask HN: What is a college's incentive to use the Common Application?
There's always the possibility of a peaceful resolution. Kim might one day decide he's better off making friends rather than enemies, or a more moderate leader might stage a coup or something. People thought the USSR would be around forever, and then suddenly in went to pieces without anyone having to blow it up. But what are the odds of that actually happening? Nobody really knows. If they're remote, then getting it over with now is probably the best approach. If they're decent, then waiting might be better. It's a difficult decision to make.
No worries, you will be able to run X on top of Wayland.

Quoting from https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_8 :

"This doesn't mean that remote rendering won't be possible with Wayland, it just means that you will have to put a remote rendering server on top of Wayland. One such server could be the X.org server, but other options include an RDP server, a VNC server or somebody could even invent their own new remote rendering model. Which is a feature when you think about it; layering X.org on top of Wayland has very little overhead, but the other types of remote rendering servers no longer requires X.org, and experimenting with new protocols is easier."

No, the irony is not lost on me.

>While the marginal tax rate on the top bracket was very high, it applied to almost nobody, and the effective taxation yield rate of revenue to GDP was actually lower than it is today.

First, it doesn't matter if it's one person, as it was in 1935, or 1000. The idea that a handful of people get to be hoarders makes the system untrustworthy.

Second, very high marginal tax rates incentivize spending money on deductible expenses rather than ones that aren't deductible. When it's a use it or lose it tax rate, and you don't think the government has the best ideas how to spend it, you can avoid the tax by taking your own risks with your own money. But the point is, again, you can't be a hoarder.

I think the "second military" you describe is more of a "minimal readiness for SHTF situation" group.

Because no politician wants to go down in history books as the person who let the military shrink and lose readiness for a WW3. Sure, maybe the American military has indeed lost readiness, but it's more nuanced and can't be pinned on one person. So just like other parts of this thread suggest, it's a giant CYA operation.
Is it even legal in Russia? From what I could find:

I posted this to a friend's facebook when he asked, I need to re-write it better but the idea is there. No one wants DPRK to fall or KJU to die, its too many fucking refugees.

What you don't realize is that no one (I don't mean average person, I mean politicians and leaders) really cares what the DPRK (by extension the Kims) do to their own people as long as they are not a threat to anyone else. China likes having the DPRK there as a buffer against the American forces in South Korea. It also provides a distraction as China is claiming the entire South China Sea.

South Korea while officially saying they want re-unification doesn't really want it. If and when the DPRK falls, you got 25 million refugees who are barely able to function in the modern world streaming to China or South Korea. China will not take the refugee in, they will either deploy PLA at the border and stop them or take over the DPRK as a puppet state. The economic cost to absorb the refugees is enormous. In the 20 years after West Germany and East Germany merged, over 1.3 trillion euros was spent on the former East Germany and its still behind economically the former West Germany. The GDP per capita for East Germany at the time of the merger was 10000USD (1990 dollars) and right now for DPRK it's less than 1500USD (current dollars). West Germany was also economically much stronger at the time then South Korea is now and has a much higher population (~60M West, ~15M East) compared to the Koreas (~50M South, ~25M North). South Korea doesn't have the money or the economic poweress help the DPRK like West Germany did with East Germany.

I don't work for Medium, so total speculative fiction here, but let me imagine the life of a product manager at a small growing company...

Somewhere at Medium, perhaps even reading this thread, there is a Product Manager in charge of, among other things, making the Medium reading experience great. Unfortunately, he (not knowing his gender, just picking a pronoun) is angry and frustrated every day. He wants to do right by users, indeed, his mission is to make everything about the product awesome. But, there are so many competing priorities and agendas. His boss will say things like "We can't measure whether it's a better reading experience, so your KPIs are things like conversion, reach, number of user engagements!" So he grudgingly sets out to optimize these things, while at least trying to keep the site usable. His first suggestion is to pin all the site links to the top of the page so people are always clicking around Medium, churning from page to page. The "Social Sharing" PM reaches out with "Hey, buddy, why not make the social sharing buttons twice as big, and never remove them from the page--both our numbers will be through the roof! The "Audience Growth" PM wants to make sure there are at least 3 signup buttons visible at all times, because obviously users are just not seeing them. He wants to help his colleagues, and, he is expected to drive his KPIs. We can compromise a little here, and a little there. All these internal stakeholders will be grateful, and he will be seen as a team player.

So he has the developers go off and implement these things, rolls them out, and checks the all-important metrics dashboard. Lo and behold, all his targets are met! Success! A few more stock options next review-time! But in the back of his mind, the product owner in him is screaming in horror at what he's putting his users through in order to meet these goals. Maybe he even brings up these concerns with his management, but they dismiss them and want to instead talk about the next floating button bar he's going to add to drive those numbers even higher...
>wrap the text automatically at the width of the screen

This should be the browser's job, and none of the webpage's business. Opera Mobile used to do a great job at this, together with zooming and generally making sure traditional webpages rendered in a usable manner on a small screen. With the spreading of dumbed down mobile sites, overcomplicated layout systems and overall inflexibility due to webdevs being UX control freaks, we apparently decided that was not the way to go and instead settled for whatever inferior experience the individual webdev comes up with for their website.
There's not much to discuss here. It's an unsubstantiated claim that seemed to be backed up by the claim of "I looked at the code." Forget these guys claim for a moment; the more interesting discussion is the concept of trading mining resources for service. If it's an ad, it's malware, but if it was opted into by the user, it could be a new type of payment model.
Europe has received an order of magnitude fewer refugees spread out of 2.5 years. As to whether or not they've been having "trouble", I guess it all depends on how bad things have to get before you upgrade it from inconvenience to trouble.

It's really sad to see Medium turning into this. I used to like Medium, now I avoid any site that uses them (which is getting harder as they now allow custom domains).
The goal of an emulator is to reproduce the behaviour of the original machine, whether that behaviour was expected by it's designers is irrelevant. If it can't do so, for whatever reason, then it's a bug as far as I'm concerned.
The Vive has two base stations which are supposed to be positioned in opposite corners of the room. In order for the controller to lose tracking, it has to be hidden from the view of _both_ of those base stations at the same time. Still possible, but I suspect that will happen much less frequently than with this system, which as far as I can tell will lose tracking whenever your controller goes outside the view of a single, front-facing camera on the headset itself.

For example, if you reach behind your back it loses tracking. If you look in one direction and aim a gun in the other, it loses tracking, if you look up and reach for pistols holstered at your hips, it loses tracking, etc. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, because as-is it sounds to me like this system isn't going to work very well for a lot of the more action-based games in VR.

Amazing that Onity just didn't care despite being alerted to it being a problem multiple times.
Europe took in 2.5M in 2015/2015 (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_migrant_crisis), North Korea has 25M population. Europe economically is much stronger then South Korea. Plus the refugees are more functional in a modern world then 99.9% of the DPRKians.
Certainly if most people owned them, there wouldn't be a market to rent them out.
Readability seems to be in regression, and not just at Medium. If a (near-) optimal solution has been found, and you are committed to doing something different, it is likely to be suboptimal.
numpy calls BLAS libraries, which are heavily optimized and parallelized. Note that it is also very dependent on which particular BLAS library is used, as several are older and not nearly as optimized as newer ones (the difference can be rather dramatic). If you're curious, the best one to use is OpenBLAS.

And when you want to just fuck, whether you are a man or woman or anything else, that's exactly what you want.

When you want love and cuddling and connecting, that's another story (and you can even be the same person that in other instances wanted to just fuck. In fact usually that's the case).

But somehow those that want to just fuck, and thus seek in the other just that, are supposed to be made to feel guilty -- even if the other doesn't mind, and wants just that themselves.

>Mainstream heteronormative porn mainly espouses a chauvinistic male point of view.

That's the whole point. Porn is about pleasure. The "chauvinistic male point of view" provides pleasure to the majority (mainstream) of males.

Porn is not about expanding your mind and connecting with the Other and the magic of the universe. It's also not about empowering etc -- any more than cooking is about empowering eaters.
That's an great question. Most WordPress websites are just "brochure websites": they don't expose anything dynamic to their visitors excluding comments, contact forms and search functionality. We already handle these scenarios out-of-the box. Also, every plugin you use that does not have any front-facing components, it's perfectly fine. It's not a hosting solution for every possible WordPress website out there, but it can handle a huge slice of the market, with big benefits for agencies/freelances.

There is an enormous amount of work to do on warships (in my experience); the following doesn't apply everywhere always, but all of it applies sometimes and some of it applies all the time.

If you're in engineering, kit is constantly breaking and it is never all working; you'll never catch up, so it's just a question of what you decide to leave broken right now and what you need to fix. The things that are working need constant attention to make sure they stay working; you'll never get them all checked, so there's always something that definitely needs checking really quite soon.

In warfare branch(es), as in all branches, the manning situation is never right; there are always gapped billets, requiring other people who don't quite have the right skills and experience having to share that extra workload amongst themselves and to cover extra watches. Going to defence watches or the like (six on, six off, or even four on, four off) is a permanent mindfuck that leaves everyone as a kind of zombie, skating through on routine.

The kit is often old, and it's all pretty custom, and so much of it is painfully delicate. This ship doesn't like warm water, that ship has a habit of not being able to power the radar all the time, damn comms constantly up and down. With relatively new classes of ship, every one of the first dozen is basically an experiment, so the new kit refuses to work properly with each other, or maybe just plain at all, and the original purpose the ship was designed for is long gone and what was a cold water submarine hunter meant to last a week on its own before being back in port is now a warm water patrol vessel out for months at a time, constantly stressing systems that were meant to have a steady supply of cold water cooling and were never meant to be active for weeks at a time.

Every ship and crew will habitually be asked to do more, with less. Harmony time vanishes, billets get gapped, refits get put off, maintenance cycles become less frequent. It stops when ships basically cease to function.

Sometimes it's a wonder they don't sink upon leaving harbour :)
Mining on GPU's is generally not profitable, but if you don't pay for the GPU or electricity then numbers look different. Especially if you get some people that keep active tabs open for days.

> Of course, if there's a numpy function that does what you want, you'd use it in real life. But what if there isn't?

I have been in this exact situation, a numerical algorithm that was missing from Numpy but the rest of the project is in Python.

The solution is:

1. Write a Python function that operates on numpy arrays,

2. Add a few Cython type declarations to loop variables,

3. Mark the source file as "compile with Cython at runtime", which seamlessly turns the Python function into a C library.

The end result was a 1000x speedup compared to pure Python, very close to numpy built-in functions working on similarly sized arrays. And it needed only about 5 lines of setup code and type declarations for a few variables - all the code could still be Python and use all of Python even in the compiled files.
Gluing Things Together –  Scheme in the Real-Time CG Content Production
I don't really see the point of a block chain in this situation.

Why not implement it on a centralised Burger King server ? Why bother with a distributed p2p network, mining, apps, when a simple mysql database plus a php file can achieve the same thing ?

Am I missing something ? If they want crypto so much, just let people withdraw their points in bitcoin..

I can see the point of a generic "FoodCoin", where each restaurant is a miner and the coins can be used to buy food in any other restaurant in the network.. Or is that their ultimate purpose ?

But then it's not truly decentralised, I guess the model would be BurgerKing and a bunch of satellite restaurants using the same coin somehow...

Anyway, don't really see the point of a block chain, beyond hype..
As somebody who does a mix of front end and back end fairly regularly, I think you're pretty on the nose here.

If I can extend a little further, React is favoured (outside of the potential as a state machine) as the front-runner in isomorphic front-end apps. Of course there are also some lighter-weight similar frameworks like InfernoJS, and Preact, but React is certainly the one with the largest community and more robust support.

If you're looking for mainly UI event handling, 2 way binding, etc, Vue is extremely capable and will probably keep your fingers (and maybe mind) a little cleaner. It can take a lot of the load and repetitive work out of developing that end.

If you're looking to build out a UI with a large number of repeating elements, again state-handling, then I have to say I love working with React. It even caused me to change my way of thinking toward building out framework-less front end applications.

Another plus with React is the large number of pre-built UI design frameworks and components that you can simply drop in everywhere and modify to the extent you really need to, if at all.

As for media streaming, HLS.js (https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js) is a dream tool! There are some tricky bits to figure out that aren't documented overly well (like where the ID3 data is hiding amongst a single Uint8 array that has to be encoded and spliced), but the demuxer works like a dream without a heavy load increase and the event system is easy enough to work through.

That is if you're building out your own custom player. I work at a media company and had to build out a custom player to diagnose some issues with stream metadata coming from a number of radio stations through a series of nodes (with no streaming media experience at that level previously) and I was able to get it up and running inside of a day or two.
