I'm British and took that survey for shits and giggles, I like a survey.

Anyway I'm not that impressed it had me down as either coming from Providence (because I pronounce mary, marry and merry different), or Santa Rosa or San Jose (because I'd never heard of a drive through liquor store which actually seems a mental idea, from a UK perspective). I know it's not supposed to work on me but there's a massive distance between the first and last two places based solely on one data point.

Makes me wonder how this would fare in a smaller country like the England or Scotland, etc.

> goats for milk and the odd lambchop.

Just to avoid confusion, lamb chops come from lambs - sheep. It's probably just a grammar issue, but I figured I'd note this.

Also, goat is delicious. Americans don't eat much goat or sheep, but they are regularly eaten elsewhere.
I always thought it was a marketing term, where a certain store is willing to say “we’re confident that this can be eaten raw” and not some legal or regulatory standard of quality or freshness—that is, I thought the idea that it’s a popular misconception was itself a popular misconception. Moreover, I’ve even heard it used to describe simply “species of fish that are commonly considered safe to eat raw”.
Nice, I tried Spongedown but it seems to have at least 0.5 or 1 sec delay between typing and rendering, so it wouldn't be really usable for me.
What was radically different about C when it was released? It doesn't seem to stand out that much to me from the backdrop of BCPL, Algol, Bliss, Pascal, etc.

It's easy to build a solid container with < 1 atm inside. But I don't think such a container will fit the definition of a pneumatic tire. Any flexible container with < 1 atm inside will collapse until the pressure inside reaches equilibrium with the air outside. It will collapse further if there's a heavy load on top of it, or maybe less if it's a run-flat tire with rigid structures inside.

Perhaps if you were on top of a very tall mountain or, even better, another planet, you could get away with filling your tires with less than < 1 atm and still have them functional.
Not all exploits are based on treating "data" as code. For instance, in USB autorun attacks, it is the intended behavior of the victim system to run the payload as code.

Wht do u need 2 knw abt PubSub inorder 2 appreciate the feature called listening
Ohhh yeah, we lost a lot of things: We lost all those noises that Teletype did that drove anyone crazy.

Without the Linotype we lost all the toxic fumes that killed people, and the accidents with molten lead being expelled and burning people.

We lost the exclusivity factor of only a few companies being able to spend the enormous price those things had and the many people that were needed to repair the machines, write, physically send and receive messages.
tbf, most people in the wide world would consider a restaurant in the North York Moors, where there's just green on Google maps, the middle of nowhere. As opposed to, say, Paris or some other city. It's a bit of hyperbole but not wild or inaccurate. Plus the location has nothing to do with its tasting menu or Michelin star.
It sounds like the situation has improved (if you consider it an improvement!) since then.

But did all of them function correctly? Assertions about the host are very common. Many things operate by domain whitelists, and so things like font loaders and analytics will commonly not work. Cross-origin resource loading will often break, if `*` is not used.

(Most of the things that I expect to break are unimportant, but there will still be a non-trivial number of important breakages.)
Nice idea but such a calculator really depends on the type of business and the amounts from this one seem really low. Depending on your business and the number of people that actively can do tasks involved ofcourse.

Theory of Programmed Self-Destruction of crypto currencies (2014)
Surface gravity absolutely depends on the radius.

Gravitational force is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of distance. Radius is the distance between the center of a planet and its surface.

If this sounds wrong, please see the Wikipedia page for Saturn and explain how a planet with 95 times the mass of Earth is listed as having a surface gravity of only 1.065 g.

(Actually, I was wrong above: the increased radius alone would reduce the surface gravity of this hypothetical planet by a factor of 4.6, not just 2, assuming Earth-like density.)

Sure, I also bought the MBP, but for the first time in a decade I bought an Apple product grudgingly, getting it not because it's the best machine at a reasonable price, but because switching would be too expensive.

The MacBook Air was a great little nifty machine, powerful enough for my (modest) needs. The MBP is expensive (even the "cheap" "Escape key" edition) with a finicky keyboard and 3h battery life if you actually use the CPU.

"You're typing it wrong"
I am an MD graduate and from studies in top notch databases I am waiting for a systemic review to show that my fears are true. Healthcare staff from the president to the hard working orderly, they are doing nothing for nosocomial or hospital associated infections. The ER becomes the reason for an admission. An athlete with a concussion does not need to be left lucid because of the diverse nurses are on smoke break 12. Then by force the medical student learned it from the class before. Do the minimal because you are not responsible as a pupil. The boards book after all will be the reason for the coming plastics beach life. Nobody has time to check hygiene or naps. More? The ICU. They changed the waiting room for rich with no idea about fake double blind studies. Guarantee in intensive care, bugs resistant to every antibiotic. I want to fix a block at least.
That is the worst. It is all over that site, but usually you can pause it?
> It seems likely that the A319 is dead and Airbus will rely on the C300 for that segment.

That's because the A320 was bigger than the 737 from the start. This means the 319 (and the 318 to a much higher degree) was heavier for its number of passengers than it needed to be, while the 737 was right at its sweet-spot. More weight always means higher cost to operate. Higher cost to operate per passenger always means lower margins for the airlines. This trade-off exists with every airliner. Still, airlines bought both 318 and 319 because those planes are able to take off with the same amount of fuel as the 320, giving them the longer range that was necessary to fly certain routes. (London - New York being the obvious example for the 318.)

The new engines and wing tips of the 320neo family have yielded range increases that were sufficiently high to make the 320neo and 321neo able to fly those routes that the 319 had been used for before and the planned 321neo LR ("long range") is going to do the same for the 318's routes. At the same time, Boeing is now offering the similarly re-engined 737 at a much lower price that Airbus will want to sell the 319 at. Thus the 318 did not even get a neo version and the 319neo has not sold well.

A similar growth has happened with the 737 family. Which is exactly why Bombardier decided to target the absolute lowest end of the 737's market and the passanger/range area below that. It's just not worth it for Airbus and Boeing to design an entirely new plane in this segment, but their existing products are too heavy to compete against the C-series. Boeing decided to compete by selling their planes at very high discounts, which Airbus is unwilling to do because of the high demand for the 320neo family.

Buying into the C-series solves this issue marvelously for them. Now they have a better product than Boeing across the entire single aisle airliner market. (Mostly because those products are significantly younger than the 737, the only single aisle Boeing still in production.) They have defeated the threat posed by a new single aisle airliner that Airbus just could not compete with in its specific segment. They could even use the C-series to relieve pressure on their 320 family production lines, which are projected to be unable to keep up with demand for many years. Offer those airlines that would be a good fit for the 319neo, but will go for the much cheaper to buy 737, a C300 instead.
> Sure, as long as you're not using CGO and dynamic linking. Otherwise you'll get the exact same problems as the others.

Not even then, to be honest.

I wrote a product that is deployed on many thousands of servers, and all of a sudden a not-insignificant population just started experiencing SIGABRTs on process start.

Turns out Amazon Linux (and some others) had removed a syscall that i386 Go on Linux was relying on (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/14795). We built our product with a manual patch against "src/runtime/sys_linux_386.s" for many months as a result, and it was really a huge headache to help all our customers.

I would be surprised if Python or even Java broke in this way, for example. I was really surprised it even happened in Go to be honest.

There are other runtime problems too, we had a weird interaction with a "cloud OS" based on cgroups (CloudLinux) screwing up our Go processes depending on how many goroutines we ran ...

I think Go is fantastic but its runtime can definitely clash with its environment ... it's not the same as a C program.

C# borrowed heavily from Delphi - i.e. the Object Pascal bits. Explicit virtual/override, properties, that sort of stuff. The class library, especially WinForms, also borrowed heavily from VCL.

But I don't think there are any notable borrowings from core Pascal.
A single developer can apparently create a whole new language, complete with a module system, a proof system, a constraint system, a parser/lexer, but can't extend C by adding new flags to the compiler that are optional and don't necessarily break anything from old code and lets you selectively upgrade your sources.
The ontology of genetics is not isomorphc with the actual physical methods by which phenotypes are expressed.

And more intermittent. They cover things in medical school that are important (and tested for in class) that don't make their way to the final examination. Those are things a medical doctor should know.

There are also labs that cover things that aren't going to be on the tests. There are practical examinations along the way. It's a whole big process and fairly standardized for a reason. It's not like many other disciplines. I got to witness my daughter go through it.

As much as love her and think she's the most brilliant person ever, she needed the full educational experience and would benefit from more. In fact, many medical doctors keep adding to their education.

It constantly amazes me how a product which is so widely criticized by the dev community, ends up selling so well. Really shows how Apple dropped the ball from making a system which became the de-facto developer laptop (whether I like that it did or not is a different question), right upto this clunky mess which is a far cry from their earlier versions

I still maintain that the 2012 rMBP, which were the last Macbooks that came out under Jobs IIRC, were the most stable developer-focussed iteration of the MBP. No heating issues, a sexy screen, stable non-glitchy non-hanging OS, and a wonderful experience overall!

Thing is, science and technology marches on. Advances in engine tech, aerodynamics, composite materials, electronics etc. make the CSeries much cheaper to operate than the 737. Airlines across the globe have seen this value advantage. Hence Boeing resorting to effectively getting the CSeries banned in the US by having Congress slap a massive tarif on it.
