There's one complication that I've seen in another watch and that puzzles me a lot.

On its back this watch has sunrise/sunset times. These times are derived from a so-called sunrise equation [1] which depends on the day of the year and the latitude, and is expressed via trigonometry functions.

I can see how this can be translated into some sort of irregularly shaped gear(s) if there were a single variable (the day of the year), but I have no idea how one could also allow for different latitudes.

Does anyone know or care to guess?

> I'd wager that for 90%+ of the events that a typical person in the US is likely to experience, heading into the woods to forage on berries and hunt wildebeest is not the way to go.

I think a better question is to what extent having the skills to forage, hunt, and survive in the woods will improve your life quality/expectancy. Of course that's not going to be your #1 plan most of the time, but that seems orthogonal to the value of having those skills.
I wonder how a Xeon 8180 or a Xeon Phi 7290 would do. The 8180 is probably the fastest x86 and the Phi, with its 72 dumber cores and, IIRC, 144 threads is almost always surprising.
Well, your career so far sounds like a Woody Allen script. At least there's that ;-)

Bitwarden is web based and open source. Don't know about RBAC.
I'm curious why you would feel The Pirate Bay is any more cancerous than a "reputable newspaper".

I just disabled uBlock and checked TPB. There were no ads on the landing page, and after using "search", had to scroll right to the bottom to find one small ad, for a reputable web hosting company (Siteground).

I opened our local news - smh.com.au. At the top of my page there's a similarly sized ad. There are also ads the full vertical length down each side of the page, which due to broken text rendering is just a picture of a man and I don't know what is being advertised.

If I scroll down a bit, there's a horizontal ad consuming roughly a third of the screen for American Express.

Most news articles have an auto-play video, and usually starting with ads. Several pages have ads with embedded sound, making this particularly embarrassing to test in the office.

I get that it's reasonable to have ethical issues with TPB. I wouldn't agree that reputable newspapers have a moral high ground on advertising.
How about we plan on not having a doomsday in the first place?

Why are nuclear weapons not banned? Chemical/biological weapons are. Let's end nuclear weapons too, and take this world back from the possibility of doomsday.

Don't forget something even as simple as syntax.

OCaml syntax (and, IMO, any ML-like) is far better than C-like syntax, IMO.

I may be naive, but I don't think professors would typically do that, certainly not if you offer them to be a co-author in exchange for professionalizing the paper (which may mean serious work, e.g. to benchmark the algorithm against other algorithms for speed and accuracy). Even if you don't offer that, they will have a few months to work on follow-up papers (e.g. on I mplementing it on GPUs, in parallel, or on simple architectures)

You can also publish (e.g. by tweeting it) a hash (a few different hashes, if you are truly paranoid) of your code before going to said professor. That gives you some leverage against appropriation, as it would allow you to prove you knew about the approach at a given time.

If you combine it with some context ("going to meet X to discuss 0xA43AF7F963DA003F"), that leverage gets larger. I wouldn't know whether either would be enough, though. There likely is little jurisprudence on things like this, it may be costly to go to court over it, and using it out of court, e.g. by writing to any journal publishing this without your name on it, may backfire)
Darn, I meant "rat rod".
For the record, that is not common outside of hipster doofus circles.
Sure. Like I said, some people bought it and then disabled ads, and that's cool. Some people even bought it and left the ads, that was even cooler! But a lot of people, people who directly said, "I will pay you if you let me remove the ads", did not.

>My point is, I don't think a lot of you are being totally honest when you say you'd be willing to pay if the site removed advertising.

Well why would I do it if I don't have to?

I'm happy to pay for Netflix because there are no ads and it's just a better more convenient product than torrenting is.

Second on the FT-60. These things have a remarkable amount of functionality built into them, are built like tanks, and can access their full range of features without a programming cable and PC. They can also receive a very wide range of frequencies outside of the ham bands.

The FT-60 can also be modified to transmit on other radio service bands (like FRS/GMRS/Marine VHF), though it is only legal to transmit on those bands with non-type-approved hardware in honest-to-god emergencies.

I always cringe at the prepper types who boast about how much they spend on their arsenal, but cheap out on radio gear. Realistically, cooperation ensures the best chance of survival. A good radio and an aftermarket whip antenna will be more useful in all situations besides the end of the world.

Is this a joke or a modern incarnation of phrenology.?

As society moves forward, we must not accept that just because a tool is based on AI that it is not flawless or biased.

Judging someone's competency based upon their face and its expressions is not much. more accurate than a witch test, even without the consideration of differing cultural norms and behaviors. Will American firms discriminate against Russians because they don't smile as much?
what? Do you mean actual wages individually getting lowered? That's probably rarer, but an effective race to the bottom of wages happens all the time, eg when they move the textile factory from the Carolinas to China then to Bangladesh.
Sounds like a full time job to me. I mean, I'm getting paid, to monitor less than this...
You're conflating two very different concepts: the source of reviews, and the algorithm for calculating the Certified Fresh status. Obviously RottenTomatoes aggregates reviews from the Internet. That is the entire point, but that doesn't match the usual definition of "cherry-picking." To convince me that they cherry-pick reviews to achieve a desired Tomatometer or Certified Fresh result, I would need some evidence. The difference between Tomatometer, audience scores, and top critics is not sufficient evidence of foul play, because it's exactly what I would expect from a fair process.

Taxing capital is hard, because it's mobile. Governments are afraid that if they tax wealth at a high rate, the wealth will just move elsewhere. Thus, most businesses get some sort of property tax abatement as part of an incentive to locate in a particular city or state.
Yeah, reminds me of Orwell's comment upon having been shot in the Spanish Civil War :)

No one I met at this time — doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients — failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.
Yep, that's the truth.

I did it for 15 months. I had a consistent gig that would pay the bills that I expected to be working on 4 hours a week so I decided on the following:

- Move to each city for 1 month (allow immersion in culture)

- The place needs to have privacy & wi-fi (no shared hostels)

- Use meet-up/expats/dances to meet people

- Research each city before hand on things to do/currency/language barriers/transportation (Austria, for instance, doesn't use Google maps)

It was one of the best times of my life, but it wasn't just pure happiness. It was very introspective, most of my time was spent alone, but I made so many life-long friends as well.

Loneliness/homesick is definitely a factor.
I've been rather worried about the state of parallelism or concurrency in Ocaml, two conecpts which I have little understanding of, but the rumours of the insufficiency in support in the Ocaml compiler/interpreter have offput me from using Ocaml.

Would someone be so kind as to shed some light on this issue for me? Does it affect, say, a web server implemented with OCaml? What about a program in which some background process is used to prepare something simultaneously to the main process, like loading assets for a game?
When I was in a high school physical education class, if one member of our class wasn't ready (changed into p.e. clothes and standing in a line) 5 minutes after the bell rang, then the whole class had to do ten push-ups. I remember thinking how unfair it was for the whole class to be punished for the actions of one individual. But I'm sure the P.E. teacher's response to any mention of unfairness would have been something like, "Tough. Life is unfair." And I completely agree with that.

1) It is missing routes that they are advertising.

2) When asked "Are you using RADB/Altdb entries to filter routes/should we use those?" being told "No".

If Google used that basic hygiene then it would not be announcing routes it does transit.
That's a good point re: not handling the card. While it sometimes does, self swipe at the register is much more common at the places I purchase.

A linguistic excursion not related to the substance of this controversy:

I'm looking for a term for "jokes or puns where the morphemes between which a clever relationship is drawn are actually true cognates, but the connection is no longer apparent to native speakers". Here that's true because English ad < advertisement < Middle French advertissement < advertir < Latin advertere 'turn towards, notice' is the same ad in "ad nauseam" 'to the point of nausea', both meaning 'toward' in Latin.

Does this kind of situation have a well-established name? (There might be subcategories for the case where the cognate preserves a connection in the meaning that's part of the joke, and the case where it's just coincidental, like here.)

Looking at Python for commercial apps but there are problems with packaging
I'm researching using Python for commercial desktop applications but deployment
seems problematic. I'm trying to decide if I'm looking at the wrong technology?

I love the language and I can see how productive I would be in it but I really need to be
able to produce clean .exe files to deliver, and I would like for the solution to be cross-platform.
I will be using Python 3.6+ and wxpython. cx_Freeze doesn't do single file exe's. Pyinstaller
doesn't seem to play well with Python3 (maybe I'm doing it wrong). py2exe doesn't work for me either.

I'm sure there are a lot of very smart people working on this so it must be a hard problem which
I would certainly be willing to help with but I'm wondering if I'm picking the wrong technology.

Alternatively I would use JavaFX, which would be fine, just not quite as productive.
This may be a local thing. I've done nothing of the sort.
Go figure, someone making a mistake.
I'm not sure what would be the advantage.

The number of listeners can go up and down during the computation. When that number reaches zero, the computation needs to be stopped.

When the number becomes nonzero again, the computation needs to be restarted.

Those are the requirements, basically.

Hi, the main author of BuckleScript here, below is a simple comparison with TypeScript (it may be biased):

- Pros of TypeScript

- Designed for JS, easy inter-operate with JS
- A much larger community
- Nice integration with VSCode

- Cons of TypeScript

- Compiler slow (not scalable for FB/Google scale)
- Verbose, very limited type inference
- Start up time slow (very hard to build traditional build tools)
- Types are only used for tooling - soundness is not the design goal, not very reliable
- Only JS backend, no code optimizations

- Pros of BuckleScript

- No legacy of JS (clean slate) while great story in inter-operation
- Compiles much faster, scales much better
10% perf is a nice enhancement, 10x faster is an invaluable feature
- An arguably much better language
- Sound type system, global type inference
- Types are used in code optimization, optimizing compiler
- Javascript backend + Native backend for X86, ARM

- Cons of BuckleScript

- Smaller community
- Learning curve is higher compared with TypeScript
The important part is that cats need taurine, an amino acid that only comes in nature from animal protein (the taur- is from the latin word for bull). Cats can not synthesize taurine in their bodies -- if you do not include taurine in your cat's diet, IT WILL DIE.

This food explicitly includes synthetic taurine, which appears to be lab-synthesized so that it does not have to come from animal sources.
No, I'm sticking with fraudulent. The intent is to defraud. Even if you say there is no specific agreement, there's the morality issue. Your morals may allow you to essentially vandalize, mine do not.

The agreement may not be written down, but I think it's covered in the 'don't be an ass' part of the social contract.
JavaScript is becoming a must-have compilation target. I hope that we can cut out the middleman soon via WebAssembly.

In particular, I would like to see browser vendors distribute a small number of wasm-compiled VMs that function as first-class JS alternatives. This would provide some sense of stability and blessing, and prevent a delay in page load time caused by the download of an alternate client implementation.

I started to seriously undertake a Dart-based project in the last couple of weeks but eventually decided that the ecosystem is too immature to make it worthwhile. I'm going to try Scala.js for a while and if that doesn't pan out I'll probably be forced into TypeScript. I had previously also tried Go/GopherJs.
Yeah totally this, my travel intentions are usually more along the lines of living in a new culture for at least 6 months and setting myself up to see if I could live there long term, whilst keeping the options open.

Have been in NZ for 6 months but I'm still young so I have lots of working holiday visa options available still, which makes it easier to get bank accounts and stuff in a new country for freelancing. I feel like the logistics of moving around often would get annoying quite quickly

The touch bar is something you get used to the same way you get used to using a trackpad. I avoided the trackpad for YEARS opting for a wireless mouse and/or the eraser nub on the old ThinkPads.

For me the touch bar isn't vital, but I really wouldn't want to go back to not having it. In fact, I wish the external keyboard also had a touch bar. It's fantastic for any scenario where their are no controls on the screen, such as full screen video. It also makes a fantastics scrubber for emojis, photos, etc. And the ability to change the function keys based on context, while not something you use every day in every application, actually makes a lot of sense and it's pretty bewildering that this didn't change a long time ago. It's always annoying when function keys no longer do what their icon suggests because they have been replaced, moved, or the OS has changed that functionality. And for things like brush size or changing the tool your using in a video editor, it actually is a lot more convenient. There are these things you start to realize that you always wanted physical keys for, and now you have them.

The only problem that I have with the new MPB is the way the keyboard sounds. The clicks on each key are different depending on where they are and how hot the chassis is. If you haven't noticed this, I'm sorry you're reading this because once you notice it you won't be able to not. Certain keys click more than others. They do all sort of break in a bit and start to sound the same, and since the travel is so short it doesn't actually impact typing at all, but it does sound and feel a bit weird when the "A" key acts slightly differently from the "F" key. They keys along the exterior tend to be more "clicky" than the keys on the interior. It's just weird.
Even if you reuse the same word it's still a pun. I don't think there's a different name for puns on homophones, cognates, or homonyms.

Let me be the first to say this is probably a terrible idea.

Some reasons:

1. Decentralized storage? What the hell for?

2. Blockchain hype anyone?

3. "Where only you have access to your data" It's called NextCloud, or OwnCloud. This app should be called WheelReinvented.

reddit gold _has_ to be one of the better "replace ads with subscription" offerings out there. It's $2.50/mo which is far more reasonable than NYTimes' $9.99/month.

Not that running a news organization is inexpensive. But I'm extremely skeptical that any one site is making $9.99/month off of my ad impressions.

For the gulf coast, because of the way hurricanes rotate, the northern eastern side (or right side) always comes out worst. They get the most amount of fresh clouds coming from the warm water, while the south western end gets the clouds that had already expended a lot of energy overland.

The Xeon... maybe.

The Phi... definitely slower. The single-core performance is very low, and there are usually at least a few linking stages in any source code compilation that collapse the process down to a single thread - you can't beat Amdahl's Law here.

The vast majority of emergency situations that a person is going to face isn't going to require something so drastic as moving.

Most people are not going to have to worry about a hurricane or a flood. Most people have more mundane problems, that are still potentially life altering.
1. I feel like I shouldn't feel ashamed when saying this, but here: mutation, imperative code & side-effect are kinda nice, and very much needed for a straightforward interop with e.g. existing JS/Obj-C/Java (hint hint) code. For example, notice how BS externals are erased & inlined. Most of our ffi doesn't have a conversion cost. An excellent ffi can be a deal maker, considering that if you're serious about migrating your codebase to a new language, you'd be using more ffi than idiomatic code for a while. Early on, I've had folks accidentally modify the output JS artifacts on messenger.com because they thought I wrote the JS code myself; they were generated by BS.

2. Also, speaking of native compilation: we're not reference counting but _some_ predictability when working with UI code is needed. The GC has to be fast and collect things within 16ms (and now, 8ms since iPad Pro is often 120fps). The ocaml gc achieves that.

Those aren't my findings: those are the findings of the creator of React, who also created Reason.

3. Finally, and to corroborate with what we wrote on that page: if you go ask your "normal JS colleagues", you'll realize most folks don't _actually_ know the semantics of JS. They like JS because it _looks_ familiar. Is TypeScript "just JavaScript"? Does it matter if JS folks can pick it up and be equally productive quickly? OCaml/BS semantics map over to JS well enough that we can just change the syntax into something familiar, and you'd likey end up writing the code you'd usually write in JS, albeit backed by a type system that needs to make no excuse in terms of quality.

Hope that helps? Tell me if that makes sense.
