Intel wouldn't be willing to do something like this without the all too plausible now threat of a customer moving to a full AMD stack. There are still reasons to prefer Intel in some cases but nobody has to feel like Intel is the only choice any more.
Imagine multiverse theory like this: there's a parallel universe just like this one in the same space and there is an infinity of these. And that's just how you would describe a geometric point, a singularity. Then it doesn't make any difference that there are an infinity of different variations in the near vicinity, so to speak, in different dimension. They just don't interact, the point stays a point. A fix-point, so to speak, and the metaverse is the Y-Combinator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleene%27s_recursion_theorem
The wireless F710 does not have accelerometers or gyros, but is otherwise a pretty nice controller if you don't already have a PS or XBox pad lying around.

The default Windows drivers and associated "configuration" program are rather badly out of date though, and to get it working on a Windows 10 system I had to override it to use the XBox gamepad driver instead.

The Linux drivers worked just fine out of the box though.
All I'm personally hoping for from the Switch modding community is the ability to back up my saves. It is mind boggling to me that I cannot plug a USB drive into my Switch dock and back up saves. I take this for granted on PC but this should be a day 1 feature on any gaming device.
Yep, also use confluence wiki for a customer and it is horrible. For another company I use mediawiki. Nothing beats that.

Easy to edit, easy to maintain, good search capabilities, plenty of ways to extend.

Edit: for updates of mediawiki use installatron, for structuring documentation you can use categories.
Yeah, true except for cars, heavy equipment, trains, agriculture, banking.....

> Reduce that influence and you will have a Govt. that works for the general interests of its people.

I recently found out about an old solution that would achieve that goal: Sortition. Instead of having elections every few years, we could randomly pick a hundred people from the population and task them with creating a law. After an initial preparation, they would deliberate like a jury and their decisions would be written as law. After a single task, they should disband and new groups should be selected for new tasks. With a country of hundreds of millions of people, it would be a light burden on the population to serve from time to time.

The benefits are: 1. by random selection, every social category is represented equally, 2. there is no need to have elections, so no lobbying and money in politics, and 3. because the legislative group only works on a single task, once, they can't grasp power, like politicians do.

I believe a group of 100 random people would make more heartfelt and wise decisions than a parliament full of professional liars. Regular population is more in touch with reality. Regular population needs to be heard directly because politics sucks, and this is a way to do it.
Yes. And the way it's often argued, it treats the status quo as some sort of natural given, like the weather. The line of argument seems to be that if Facebook and Twitter can't run safe platforms while maintaining their current revenue models and profit margins, well, we'll just have to live with that lack of safety.

I find this line of argument odd when it's about actual natural givens, like dangerous weather. I'm in a house right now, so it's not like technology to limit the effects of dangerous weather is unheard of. And a bit odder when it's about human inventions that have been around for generations, like guns and cars. But when it's used for something basically new in the world? I find it baffling.
>Here in America we've made our decision - profit rules above all else. It is more profitable to lobby congress than it is to upgrade a refinery, it's more profitable to auto-deny every health insurance claim than it is to provide the services your customers think they're paying for, it's more profitable to avoid taxes than not (as long as you can avoid breaking the law TOO hard).

This is not the decision "we've made in America". What you're describing is the behavior of some giant companies. There are millions of small to medium sized businesses that operate within the rules just fine and don't use the "corrupt the politicians" move as part of their business strategy.
Thanks! The main application I'm looking at is logic programming, so the control flow example you give is apropos. For example a user function which requests A AND B could be written: "if not(A) then fail, else if not(B) then fail, else succ". The first time through, we might want to actually take every branch so that we learn about the whole expression. At this stage it's just building a graph that records edges between variables and constraints, so the exponential factor is averted.

However I keep going back and forth between having the user write logic in a "control flow" representation versus in a "declarative" way (e.g. "return A && B"). The declarative way expresses intent directly, but loses most of the hooks for stepping through in a callback. Expressing it as control flow on the other hand requires some form of custom control flow operators because the built-in ones can't be redefined in C++.

It turns out logical "OR" is very subtle because we want to "actually have taken" exactly one of the options, but we also don't want to fail contexts where the preconditions for both sides are satisfied; we actually just want to arbitrarily pick one (and then the other), but only one per run (except when we're reflecting).

Subtle things like that make me nervous as requirements the user's control flow logic has to abide by. So my main challenge is to either figure out constructs which make this foolproof, or come up with "nearly declarative" forms: code which expresses intent declaratively, but does so in multiple statements so that they can be single-stepped through.

Companies have had days in court and presidents have been set, even if the name of the defendant was not Apple. This isn't some crazy scheme that Apple's accountants cooked up. Even when the dutch sandwich was new, it was still built from components that individually had case law backing them up.

You don't just get to reinterpret the law because you don't like what effects it has. The courts are only really able to interpret ambiguities. Where the law is clear (and it is pretty clear here), you need to change the laws.
Kids, please start arguing for creativity's sake
Some quick rants.

CSS is almost as bad as PHP when it comes to naming. Most flex related properties are prefixed with flex-; but some aren't (align-items, etc) so you now have tons of non prefixed properties that actually only work within a very specific context (vertical-align, etc) and there are no compilers to tell you which combinations don't make sense or whether you have redundant properties.

IE11 has tons of bugs with flexbox; I had to remove a flexbox layout earlier because of that crappy browser (it ignores explicit/inline width/height set on flex children).

Otherwise it's a great tool if used sparingly (heavily nested flexbox elements with lots of special properties start to become a bit hard to follow)

That's not entirely accurate. Companies do pay VAT, but then can deduct it if they're not the end users. This is unlike sales tax, where only end users are taxed (there's usually no sales tax payment in the sales chain).

Right, recognizing race is one of the most important factors in deciding your status in this country is racist. Pretending race doesn't exist isn't racist.

Yes, the US taxes the income of citizen's that live and work abroad. Those citizens' are taxed twice: once by the country they live in and again by the US[0]. From the article:

"If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside."

That rings a bell - thanks for digging it up!
English law has three typical means of statutory interpretation: the literal rule (where you literally apply the letter of the law), the mischief rule (where the defendant is clearly guilty of the mischief that the law was intended to address), and the golden rule (where you reinterpret as necessary to avoid an absurd result).

That said, when it comes to most tax law the mischief rule doesn't apply (because in principle it needs to be dealing with a limitation of the common law). The golden rule rarely comes into play with tax law (though consider the case of murdering a parent and the consequences on inheritance tax, for example). So yeah, the literal rule almost always applies.

Super Tux Kart was my first exposure to PC gaming and Linux, when my brother loaded up Debian and some open source Linux games on our family computer ten years ago.

I'm surprised how far this project has come along, and going from playing the same game on a 800x600 beige box to a smartphone is pretty magical :')

Google is toxic for the future of the internet, but its services are convenient so from time to time a few of us will complain when they inconvenience us, like in this case, but will continue using Google products and completely forget about our grievance with this company.

Case and point, I don't hear anyone complaining about amp anymore, or the fact that when you search for inventor in some US states you are presented with a bunch of irrelevant black people rather than actual inventors like Edison, Tesla, etc. Sadly, like with those cases this story too will blow over and nobody will care about it in less then a week.

Got it, thanks. Do other platforms support 5.1+? Also, can Resonance be used in wasm projects? Wondering how practical it would be to use binaural output for the web, then recompile and port to native platforms if 5.1+ is needed. Wasm at least would eliminate the need for a rewrite from JS.
> each time anyone passes go, the player with the most money gets to create a new rule. Guess what? The game is gonna get pretty skewed, pretty darn fast.

We call that crony capitalism and it is very much the opposite of a free market. I do agree with you however that we don't have effective barriers between money and government (or other forms of) power and therefore the stable state for liberal democracies with capitalist markets is crony capitalism and regulatory capture.
> The issue is not as simple as you characterize it. Should 'freedom to be dumb' include freedom to drive drunk/while texting?

But, it is. No law stops drunk driving. It is "illegal", but that's only a threat after the fact. And bringing cell phones is only a recent phenomenon.. How about people who read books while driving, or eating, or a thousand different things?

You only need 1 law for this: distracted driving. Distracted can be from doing things unrelated to driving, or being high, or drunk, sleepy, or whatever.

And I also have issue with "drunk driving". The .08 standard is not based in science. It's from MADD lobbying. And to be honest, if someone drives well at .08, so be it. People have different sensitivities - you should reasonably know if you're not safe.

> You seem to think that these controls exist for the protection of the addicts. They don't. They exist to protect the society and economy from a downward spiral caused by widespread drug addiction - which is what will happen if you remove all controls.

So throwing people in metal cages is a good solution here? Cause that's the cost that the US has accepted when violating these controls. And these laws don't exactly have a good result either.
That difference is mainly legal status. Make alcohol and tobacco illegal and you'll see line cooks stealing to buy booze and smokes, organized crime around the industry, and everything we currently have with other illegal drugs. Hell, you don't even have to run this thought experiment yourself, but just read books about prohibition.

Also, what's the difference between a 19-year-old kid OD'ing a couple of weeks or months after falling down the addiction spiral and a 19-year-old kid dying in a car crash from drinking and driving a couple of weeks or months after falling down the addiction spiral (of alcohol)?

A purely mathematical universe immediately brings to mind a question: Since chaotic systems evolve in a way provably intractable to calculation, how could any system based solely upon calculation address, well, almost everything that exists?
Close to zero chance of Intel being allowed to buy AMD, unless they open up x86 for others. Although if alternative architectures like ARM start gaining some actual ground on desktops/laptops, say in 20 years, then it might not trigger anti-monopoly bells as hard.

Then there's the option of Intel buying just the Radeon parts of the company. However seeing as the GPU market seems to be growing fast, it would have to be quite the offer for shareholders to agree.
I know what the blog article says, but I don't think that's how this works. They don't generally go after the 100k end people who have fragments of the stolen coins in your example, they just go after the 3 who received the stolen coins and say they have to make restitution. Otherwise you could get out of any financial liability for receiving stolen goods just by flipping to someone else. One of the things that regulators, prosecutors and counsel for wronged parties take into account is how likely they are to get restitution based on a particular construction of the case, so they may choose to pursue a party where the theory of liability is a bit tortuous if it allows them to sue a party with deep pockets where they are more likely to be able to get restitution for example.

I am familiar with how tracing cash and securities transactions on behalf of wronged parties was done in a couple of frauds and that's how it worked there (although those cases didn't involve bitcoin it must be said).

//edited to explain more clearly that I had read the article so understand the point the parent was making in that context
Agree. But that should not stop us from beeing upset. We must of course focus on the law an closing loopholes. However, this discussion is much broader. A year ago i read a piece by tim cook lamenting about the eu demanding tax. He adressed the public and pointed out that most of the revenue is generated by apples devs in california not the people in irland therefore apples revenues should not be taxed in ireland. This is outrageous- tax is to be paid where money is made.
Those foreign corporations named "Apple whatever" are owned, and controlled by "Apple Inc. (forever)". Such conglomerates are usually treated as one for tax purposes, which is why Apple and others can't just create 2500 shell companies each year to take advantage of various "startup" incentives across the world.

That's the sort of knowledge journalists learn in journalism 101, before they advance to their seminar on "sensationalism and selling advertisement" and the group therapy session "some know-nothing on the internet thinks I have anything to do with the BBC's business side, completely ignoring that online advertisement is, like, 0.001% of the BBC's revenue and that, being one of x thousand people working for the BBC, and my articles' revenue going into one big pot with all the others', my personal future is almost completely devoid of anything resembling a link to my articles' readership numbers".
Government, by definition, has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force within its territory. But it doesn't (even in theory) have total control over its space. It's constrained by its ability to fund and apply force (military dictatorships aren't inherently stable), by its relationships with stakeholders both inside and outside its borders, and to some extent by the consent (or at least the acquiescence) of its public.

To put it in a more concrete sense, the government can decide to tax whisky at a rate of $1m per barrel. But it almost certainly doesn't have the power to enforce this against moonshiners, rights and law or otherwise.
There is: in the world of crypto we have people who truly believe that math makes them unreachable to courts.
Clearly we need stochastic regulations, where the regulations are chosen randomly from time to time subject to the constraints that they accomplish their policy goals. Just have to change them faster than the accountants can figure out how to exploit them...
This is a great question! From my understanding, Quantum Field Theory posits that what we think of as particles are actually excitations of the underlying fields.

So when a neutron decays into a proton and an electron, it doesn't mean that the neutron consists of a proton and an electron; merely that the "neutron field" has a coupling with a "proton field" and an "electron field".

So particles can indeed turn into other particles, as long as certain conservation laws are obeyed.

Practical Electronics for Inventors, Fourth Edition by Scherz and Monk (1056 pages) ~$25

I've only used the 3rd edition, but I found it very accessible and well-written. I think the 4th edition has expanded content for microcontrollers and plan on getting it when I have the time to play around with electronics again.

What I liked about the book is that it provided information in a practical way so you could "just build something" without knowing all of the theory, but the theory was available when you wanted to increase your depth of understanding.

I admit the title is cheesy, but I could see this book being used to teach an introductory class on electronics. It also serves as a good reference entry point for topics/electronics where you're completely clueless.
I was using VS Code earlier today and used vertical-align in some case where it didn’t make sense and VS called it out. Such things do exist!

But I agree with your points. Despite its flaws, it is probably the best thing out there for creating visual layouts from code.
