Later, in 1996, Ross Sackett performed two distinct meta-analyses to empirically test Sahlin's view. The first of these studies looked at 102 time-allocation studies, and the second one analyzed 207 energy-expenditure studies. Sackett found that adults in foraging and horticultural societies work, on average, about 6.5 hours a day, where as people in agricultural and industrial societies work on average 8.8 hours a day.

Yeah, we implemented this paper's proposal (their version has some bugs, gaps, and infinite loop issues) where I work to be able to have higher assurance on the validity of our source repositories.

First version in shell with a fairly robust test suite, and the next version in Rust. Originally started to do it in Rust, but libgit2 was sufficiently obtuse that we opted for getting to a complete, working thing first.

That is because the compiler authors conflated warnings with a linter. Warnings should be used to indicate basically just two things.

1. Dead/Duplicated Code.

2. Probably Broken Code.

Anything else is stylistic and the realm of opinion. Even if it's informed opinion enforcing it belongs in a linter.

You're wrongly assuming that this always means the headphones will no longer work. There are wireless headphones with replaceable batteries -- e.g. https://www.beoplay.com/products/beoplayh8#techtalk

And, it's not like most wired headphones last forever. I must have gone through 5 - 10 pairs in the last few years. Admittedly most of these were towards the lower-end, but still, they just stopped working.

The problem with litigation is that it takes forever. And while things are processing, you'll still be on the hook. If for example, you're the victim of a hit-and-run and the offender can't be found, you're still on the hook.

Really stupid design from Apple. I hope this trend does not catch on. Extreme form-over-function looks like this.

There are reasonable defenses possible inside the DRAM

Don't forget the simplest one: make them like they used to, with a much bigger margin of reliability. Rowhammer wasn't a problem before ~2010 or so, if I remember the original paper correctly. DRAM these days is operating too close to the limits, with razor-thin margins.

Indeed, any new DRAM I purchase gets run through a 72-hour stress test and returned as defective if so much as one bit is in error during that time.

I like to make an analogy with where flash memory is heading today with multi-level cells (multiplicative capacity increase; exponential endurance and retention decrease) and a phrase to keep in mind: Faster and bigger storage means nothing if it barely works. Contrary to what all the marketing seems to imply, some people actually want memory that works perfectly.

Asking for COM or UWP is like saying that Javascript has a horrible interop story with COM/UWP. You're picking Rust to build something fast and/or low memory. Leave building a UI to the right tools.

C# has a fantastic FFI and works just fine with Rust. I actually have a project using UWP and Rust together. I get all the portability of Rust and get to use UWP as the UI frontend with minimal fuss.

If a blockade strategy were feasible, North Korea would have never gotten the bomb. North Korea has pursued a nuclear capability in earnest since at least the 1990s (EDIT: 1980s according to the Wikipedia timeline), though their desire to obtain one was declared decades earlier. It's unfolded so slowly and so deliberately that the public and many pundits don't even _remember_ all the precipitating events because at this point they don't even stand out. Just look at the timeline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_North_Korean_n...

If China were serious about containment, if the sanctions were effective, then things would have never gotten even remotely this far. Both the U.S. and Israel were on the verge of bombing Iran before they even got as far as North Korea did before 2000.

The situation _inside_ China is complex, but ultimately the reasons are irrelevant because 1) China manifestly has proven that it is unwilling to be aggressive enough even during the periods when they were truly upset with North Korea and 2) there is no evidence that China's fundamental calculus has changed or even might change--the calculus that has allowed North Korea to openly a) begin a nuclear research program, b) refine and breed fuel, c) test nuclear weapons, and d) import, develop, and export missile technology to the point where they're close to e) having a delivery vehicle for a nuclear weapon. At each step China has vehemently (and believably) opposed those advancements, yet they've refused to prevent it. To be sure they've applied some pressure, just as they are now; but North Korea's resolve is too great.

Despite all this overwhelming, indisputably clear history, people are still in denial. It's incredible.

Trump is absolutely correct on at least one thing: negotiation is futile. Fortunately, my guess is that Trump's vanity and preternatural instinct for survival will stand in the way of the U.S. choosing to go to war over this issue. Which is why my money is on North Korea joining the nuclear ICBM club, with all that will entail down the road.

Nope. My iPhone 7 came with a pair of Lightning headphones which I leave in my backpack and an 3.5mm adapter which I leave plugged into my headphones at home. Basically if you don't use more than 2 pairs of headphones on a regular basis it's a non-issue. Worse case you might need to buy an additional ~ $10 adapter for a second set of third party headphones or for a spare.

Incidentally Apple's PR on dropping the headphone jack was terrible. They tried to play it up as almost a benefit when in reality it's a boring lateral move that is of little consequence for most people.
I've been using VSCode for a while. I have this one issue with it, I couldn't figure out how to switch between the Terminal & the editor. Often I just (CMD+ Tab) to go to an independent terminal and execute some command. The only way I could figure out to do this within VSCode is "Contrl + ~", but have to do it twice if it's already open. So, does any of you know if there's an easy way of switching between the editor and the terminal?
If they're well enough announced, you opt in by leaving the tab open. You can opt-out immediately by leaving.

It does seem low. Of course, it was a maggot infested bar, not up to code, before the era of urban renewal.

Also has to account for average income growth, not just inflation: due to Baumol's cost disease, no one would run bars if they only paid as much as they did in 1976, based on 1976 wages. Non-labour productive stuff like bars has gotten more expensive generally I believe.
Hate to disagree, but there are some things much better than oils, etc.

The secret is now out but long was not: Often the poor engine suffered that agonies of the damned. Why? Too much gas and water got into the oil, ruined the lubricating qualities of the oil, and made the engine wear out much faster. The worst situation was running the engine cold in cold weather. In particular there was that little device, the "choke": It's job was to flood in lots of excess gas hoping to get an explosive mixture from the cold air. Well, a lot of that gas didn't burn, got past the piston rings into the oil. Similarly for water from condensation.

The big step up was to have some exhaust flow under the intake manifold to heat the incoming fuel-air mixture to do better vaporizing the gas and need less extra gas from the choke.

What solved that was fuel injection, in various forms, throttle body, port, and cylinder. Then the pressure on the gas was high enough to get good vaporization.

Next biggie was spark timing: Usually it was far from where it should be again causing inefficient combustion and gas and water in the oil.

One of the most critical needs for lubrication was the rocker arms, e.g., where the rocker arm was pushed on by the push rod from the lifter on the camshaft. On a classic small block Chevy, I had a push rod go through rocker arm and the valve cover! We got a new, 'crate', engine via Chevy.

A good point, in that the house is not necessarily in a nett negative-ER position due to the skilled gambler. In totalizator markets the house will always make x% of the pool. In fixed-price markets the house could face a negative position overall but that is mitigated by bet limits and a quick banhammer. For gambler who is +ER though, the house must be negative in respect to that single transaction.

It's a misconception that the house always makes money with respect to an individual customer, given enough time. I don't accuse you of this, I just mean generally. Let's take fixed markets. Overrounds of up to 25% are common, and if you back a prospect blindly you'll find that your -ER approaches that. But you're free to chose prospects and stakes in the same way Warren Buffet chooses stocks. With sufficient information and a high enough filter as Teleb calls it, you are free to pick off the bargains.

The information available to market participants is reflected in the price of prospects. Any one gambler may posess information others don't. It won't be perfect information, and most times the overround will absorb the difference, leaving the gambler with no option but to place a negative-ER bet or no bet at all. But when when the match is over and the waveform collapses and the fans have gone home and all prices are irrevocably shown to have been "wrong" to some degree, you can see that it's really an information game, not one based on luck, and from that it's unfair to say all players are eventually doomed.

I hope the support would be better for Pixel series of devices now that they own the manufacturer responsibility.

It seems like there are several issues you're having and not all of them are TDD specific. To begin with, the way you learned to program, and to approach a programming problem, is different from the approach the course is trying to teach you.

If you are generally someone who works more from a "bottom-up" approach, then having to define all of the functions/variables beforehand can be frustrating. This is especially true since you may not have enough experience with a larger project that requires this kind of blueprint, so you don't know what parts are important to plan out beforehand and which are just boilerplate that can be worked out later.

TDD actually works okay with "bottom up" in that you write a new test as you are making each new function or other piece of code. However, it can lead to missing important test coverage if you don't think about the big picture as far as what the software needs to be doing. TDD can also work with "top down" approaches that are useful when planning larger software, in that it gives you something to shoot for while filling out the functions you defined at the start. However, trying to learn both TDD/Unit testing and enforcing a top-down approach to solving the problem seems like a recipe for frustration.

Advice: Ignore the testing to begin with. Start with each step the software needs to take to solve the problem -- in comments, on paper, whatever. Then break these down into functions as much as possible. They can be very ugly, multiple variable messes if you want, the key is to try and master a more "top down" approach before worrying about testing.
No worries, and no apology needed! It gave me an excuse to post some general advice on quoting, so that's all good.
That's a bad analogy or whatever it is. If you remove the camera from the phone you cannot take photos. If you remove the 3.5mm jack you can still listen to audio and even still plug in wired headphones with an adapter.
Functions are values in Swift. Closure literal syntax is just a shorthand where you don’t have to name the function first.
Please read my comment in context. I was responding to a comment which started 'What's not stated is that "profitable" is still incredibly low' and then stated as evidence that margins are 1-3%

My main point is that these 'low' operating margins are not evidence of low profitability (due to negative working capital and fast inventory turnover).

I don't think so. We treated American communists with pretty much the same contempt --not that we were not right in condemning the ideology, which as we know leads to massive deaths due to ideology -gulags, cultural revolutions, etc., to reach "purity" but still, it's evident speaking a common language does not prevent us from treating others ill.

We see it from new-Nazis as well as antifa --they actually hate people with mainstream views and, for the most part, we're the same culture, writ large.

Like many, I strongly hope this succeeds. My biggest concern is that the lack of apps and app ecosystem will doom the project to either low market adoption and/or failure.

It would be fantastic if there were a way to run Android apps. Even if they need to be rebuilt for the platform, at least not requiring developers to re-write their app would be a huge start. Also getting support into things like React Native would be good. Most developers I know (including myself) are willing to build apps for different platforms, but aren't necessarily willing to make big code changes or do rewrites/ports that involve lots of effort. Whatever can be done to help make it easy for devs to get their apps running would likely be a good investment. Developers, developers, developers!
