If you enjoy a low density of 110 pixels per inch, then this is for you.

I'm much happier with the high-DPI displays in my ThinkPad Yoga 460 WQHD and MacBook Pro Retina 15".

I don't like pixels, and I don't want to see them any more. I want to see the text and graphics I'm working on, not pixels.

So when I wanted a second monitor to go with those machines, I got a 24" 4K display. At 187 pixels per inch, it's a reasonably close match to the 210-220 pixels per inch on the laptops.

I use this monitor in portrait mode next to the laptop display. A portrait mode monitor combined with the laptop monitor is great. I've got a wide screen when I want it, and a tall screen when I want that. It's ideal for reading documentation and especially PDF files, because an entire page fits on the portrait screen. Larger monitors are not very practical in portrait mode.

I'm not concerned with cramming the maximum amount of stuff on my screen. I run the monitors at 225% scaling in Windows, and the default Retina scaling in macOS. So text is about the same size it would be on a lower-DPI monitor, just much sharper and crisper.

After I got my first taste of high DPI with that MacBook, I swore I'd never go back to a low DPI display. It is so nice to not have to look at pixels any more.
OP actually gets the point. Chinese consumers are not aware of those foods until very recently, and their interests are likely cultivated by the corresponding oversea industry intentionally.

So why blame China for the shortage when the western countries are the ones create the demand in the first place? I guess it is a convenient strategy to hike the price while swiftly shift the blame to something people already dislike, after all it fits the narrative.
It was a really well written example of gamerphobia. If this were written about any group progressives care about it would have caused outrage from the very people who support it.

The storytelling (...) isn't quite there yet

Funny comment, since the story and screenplay writers are actually Americans :)
Yes, it's true. I think I can explain it as follows. I wanted to type:

date | sha1sum

Then another part of my brain decided to type:

echo "blah blah gibberish" | sha1sum

But then I ended up typing:

echo date | sha1sum

I suspect you could reverse engineer that with standard password cracking techniques.
Exactly! So glad to see the HighDPI fans gaining acceptance. 110PPI looks like garbage and needs to be relegated to the dust bin.
I was never skeptical and more of an opportunist. 10 years from now I can say I participated in the flop/success that is bitcoin.
Please don't post this sort of thing on a public forum.
To me aggressive means lots of things, one of them being working your ass off in order to make it happen.

For example, I'd love to have a good SaaS product...I just can't seem to come up with ideas. OK, this would likely not double the investment in six months but maybe achieving that run rate in six months is possible with the right product?

How long did it take for the Kevin Spacey story to get out even though there were rumours from early 2000. Some stories can remain buried for a very long time.

Free market is not the answer to everything.
How about having a button on the keyfob, that unlocks and locks the car?

Then you don't need to worry about the relay-attack, don't need to worry that you car unlocks just because you walk past it, and don't need a steering lock...
I got arrested 26 months ago. I'd gone back to the hospital with a court order that said the hospital's behavior was not in compliance with the law, and that they had to let their patient (my friend) go.

I made the mistake of going without a police escort. The ER staff didn't know that their employer actually had no legal authority to hold their patient in their psychiatric ward. I called the police and was patiently waiting for their help to enforce the court's order, but before the police arrived I irritated one of the security guards and they all attacked me. I was charged with 'misdemeanor assault' and was released on my own recognizance after a night at the city jail.

Two months later I got the police report, and learned what I'd allegedly done. 9 months later I learned the "old man" security guard that freaked out on me was a retired police officer. He knew exactly what to say to the responding officer to cover his ass, and was well-practiced at testifying on the stand. It's easy to make shit up if you know what you're doing. His co-conspirator was kind of a doofus - he'd been a hospital security guard for 20+ years.

Two months after my trial, my girlfriend got arrested - her court-ordered mental health professionals didn't think her substance use was of any concern to them, and were heroically treating her presenting systems without any concern as to their cause. While I was arrested for assault (misdemeanor/victim), she was arrested for heroin possession (felony/victimless). Her bail was $5000. The various bail bondsmen I called weren't interested, or wanted more collateral than I had - apparently people arrested for drug charges have a tendency to not show up for their court dates. She spent 2 weeks in jail while her attorney negotiated with the justice system on her behalf.

(The system she was arrested into has since made some efforts to keep people out of the jails, or to reduce bails, but I don't know how these changes would've affected her experience...)

In a separate anecdote, my ex-wife recently picked a fight with her then-boyfriend (California). He responded to her provocation by escalating the fight into a very physical confrontation. Bystanders called the police, he got arrested... Bond was set for $50,000. He bailed himself out by charging $5,000 to his credit card with a bail bondsman. The charges were dropped a few days later. The bondsman apparently got to keep all $5,000 (edit: I think the term 'racket' applies).

I don't know that an algorithmic approach to justice will be much help at this stage, because the system is so corrupt. Any algorithm will have to start with "Is there an actual victim [0]? No: release without bond. Yes: [...]". I don't think the system will take well to considering that they've spent decades making work for themselves...

It makes no sense. How would the "nice" export strategy look like? Market the product in the international channels but make sure no Chinese is aware of it? Or maybe do not put the product for export at all?

As said, we are in the WTO. Which means yes or no to exports. With good reason.

It is. It's literally the continuation of that sentence: "But demand is now threatening to outstrip supply, leaving Spaniards facing steep price rises in their most prized Christmas delicacy."

And in the third paragraph: "it is pushing up the price by as much as 10%".

And in the sixth: "It’s inevitable that the price in Spain is going to rise"

> You see, the "men" in the quote is not "men" in general, but the "young men" that make up the particular slice of "gamers"

This is the great flaw at the core of modern PC culture. Only some groups matter.

If this were about the "young men" that make up the particular slice of "Muslims" or "Jews", would you feel differently?

This would obviously cause outrage:

> It’s young men queuing with yamakas and shawls and jutting teffilin. Queuing passionately for hours, at events around the world, to see the things that rabbis want them to see. To find out whether they should do things or not. They don’t know how to dress or behave. Television cameras pan across these listless queues, and often catch the expressions of people who don’t quite know why they themselves are standing there.

> ‘Jewish culture’ is a petri dish of people who know so little about how human social interaction and professional life works that they can concoct religious ‘wars’ about 'God's chosen people' or '613 commandments', straight-faced, and cause genuine human consequences. Because of a book.

> Lately, I often find myself wondering what I’m even doing here. And I know I’m not alone.

> All of us should be better than this. You should be deeply questioning your life choices if this and this and this are the prominent public face your country presents to the rest of the world.

> This is what the rest of the world knows about your country -- this, and headlines about billion-dollar wars or those settlers with the razor wire fences. That’s it. You should absolutely be better than this.

> You don’t want to ‘be divisive?’ Who’s being divided, except for people who are okay with an occupied political desert of shitty behavior and people who aren’t? What is there to ‘debate’?

If you still struggle to empathize with either gamers or Jews, perhaps substitute some group you do empathize with.

Keep in mind that deep learning is mostly pattern matching, not true AI.
True, completely different context, but I was referring to the common belief that using something non mainstream, or train someone to, is that hard. If we continue walking this path we soon will end up with programmers using only the easiest development system around, something we are already experiencing with hardware that gets faster every year but software doesn't. To me letting the market decide what tools one has to use is very bad in the long term.
At some point you have to ask yourself, why not just use a real key? The "inconvenience" of having to insert the key can't seriously outweigh the issue of forgetting your key in your car (because it was in the wrong bag), driving away from the key. Or the security issues. Or the added cost.

I just don't see the appeal even if it worked perfectly. I'd rather pay extra to have it removed.
I wish my vision was so good. I can’t see any difference so I’ll take the low dpi option.

Yes, so that seems in line with old school website building as well ;). There could have been smaller images that linked to bigger ones.

We spaniards are just absolutely terrible at marketing. Every time that I see how italians have managed to convince the world to consume their produces, I feel ashamed. And when we finally manage to get recognition, we can't meet the demand because we are not set up to deal with international demand.

I hope this trend continues and we find new, healthier ways to expand our economy.
Why Doesn’t Silicon Valley Hire Black Coders?
500MB per worker is totally standard. What happens is a job causes a huge array or hash to be allocated, and after it‘s finished the memory can’t be returned to the OS due to heap fragmentation. Java does some crazy stuff with compaction. C programs typically try and internally allocate into arenas to avoid it.
It is basically a quick Ponzi scheme.
Hope the chinese doesn't get a taste of bitcoins.. oh wait..
If the bubble bursts the right place to invest would be bitcoin itself. Whether you like it or not BTC is here to stay and most likely going to be the next currency.

A lot of people hate BTC on this forum cause they feel they missed out.
Sure, the absolute numbers are large. But in percent terms of market cap, they are far more reasonable. To put them in perspective another way, Tesla has around 450k net reservations for the model 3. Even if half of those people cancel, and everyone buys the base unit with no add-ons, that is nearly $8 billion of revenue. I have no idea what acceptable ratios of plant/equipment to revenue are, but that doesn't seem absurd if they can fulfill those orders in 2-3 years and amortize the equipment over 15-30 years.

I'm not going to necessarily make the argument that Tesla's share price is rational, but I do think this spending is good for shareholders. The balance sheet equity is a pittance compared to market cap. People are betting on large future profits. And there is just no way the level of production they are currently at could earn enough to justify the price. They have to grow. To grow they have to invest. It's just the nature of the business they are in. I think being in tech gives people the idea that you can create enormous value without capital risk, but that just isn't reality in most of the physical world. I think they are at least being responsible about it. They went out and established there was substantial interest for the 3 prior to undertaking all of this - something Ford didn't do for the Edsel, which in terms of financial sins would be on par with this failing.

To get back to the initial point here, I do think the amount of debt they are using might be a bit on the high side if you consider their current and not future revenue, but the capital markets have shown a huge willingness to stomach secondary offerings of the stock, so it seems like they can and probably will remedy that.
The Soviet invasion of Manchuria was another straw.

So what do you consider the "functional semantics" of

let x = 1 + 1
in x * x

and how does it differ from the "functional semantics" of

let x = 1 + 1
y = 1 + 1
in x * y

(under GHC, if you consider that relevant)?

To be honest I never saw the appeal in this sort of activity. What made it worse were people who insisted that I participate.

Interesting how this is one of the very few things were social pressure is alive and well(as exemplified by the article, which fails to ask why should people dance in the first place).
Another aspect of this question that hasn't been explored is that of scale. What I mean by this is that one can do things with $100K or more that are impossible to do with less capital. For example, buy four container loads of e-Bikes, solar panels, screwdrivers, socks or whatever and go sell them.

I think the error in some of the comments is in thinking conventionally and equating being aggressive with gambling.

I have nothing against them selling to the Chinese market, but it's not literally true that you HAVE to sell to whoever pays the most. The makers of Jamón Ibérico were paying their debts before the Chinese buyers came around, and they would keep doing so if they hadn't come.

Lots of individuals and companies also sell their products below the absolute maximum price they could charge.

Many people seem to be dramatically overestimating our knowledge of the moon's composition. When did we definitively proven there was substantial amounts of water on the moon? Most would probably think the answer would be the 60s or the 70s. In reality the answer is 2009 [1].

And similarly China's recent landing on the moon has reshaped our understanding of the moon as it turns out the geography of the area in which they landed was substantially different than that on which the US/USSR landed in the 60s/70s. [2] That discovery came in 2014!

The point I'm getting at here is that it's always wise to keep our ignorance in mind. Deep penetrating radar and other technologies can provide substantial information, but it's still limited. Our lack of knowledge is an ongoing and major constraint. And the interesting thing is that the more we learn, the more desirable the moon seems to become.

And of course it also goes the other way. The best people making the best decisions can come to decisions that later seem less than correct. The most recent example there being the discovery that the colored streaks on Mars being briney water -- it turns out it may indeed just be sand after all.

If expanded on that as much as you have expanded on the semantics of Haskell in this thread then we might actually learn something very interesting!
From the video it seems that the car was parked in front of the house and they just amplified the signal coming from the key inside the house. So not exactly a relay attack. The latency increase must be really low.
I'd argue that is_space() should be isspace(), the standard from <ctypes.h>. Pretty sure it wouldn't make the semantics of the language worse, but it's one less wheel re-invented and makes the code a smidgen easier to read since there's one less concept to learn in it. Also one less thing to debug ...
TVS Apache RR 310: The Most Powerful Bike from TVS
Everyone has different vision, of course! If you don't mind my asking, what is your viewing distance to the screen?

One big consideration for me: I'm 65, so my eyes are not able to focus back and forth to different distances like a younger person.

My solution is a pair of single vision prescription lenses, adjusted to the distance to my monitor(s). I need to be able to use the laptop all on its own, so that determines the focus distance: about 20".

Because of that, I also place any secondary monitor at about the same distance from my eyes, otherwise it would be out of focus. I can't go changing glasses to look at a different monitor. :-)

A 24" 4K display works nicely for this, and as I mentioned it's small enough to work really well in portrait mode.

So I have two recommendations for any programmer. If you haven't used a portrait mode monitor, try it out alongside your laptop display. It's a very practical setup.

But more importantly, if you find yourself gravitating toward lower-DPI monitors, it may be time for a vision check and a good pair of single vision prescription glasses adjusted for your monitor distance (again, about 20" if you ever need to use a laptop by itself). I put off doing this for years - I always thought of myself as the kind of person who "didn't need glasses."

When I finally got the prescription lenses, it was a real eye-opener - pun intended!
Does anyone know a good resource about quantum computing for quantum physics beginners? I've tried to understand the concepts from Wikipedia, but it's a bit too abstract and I keep on getting lost down the rabbit hole reading up about the QP terms being used.

All I understand so far is that apparently, thanks to many independently controllable quantum states, some NP problems can be solved in polynomial time. If I'm not mistaken, this would require infinitely many possible different quantum states, but I've never seen this stated (or contradicted) explicitly anywhere.

Normal keys are notoriously unsafe and get worse over the years by continuous use (grinding of the locking pins). You can also cover the locking mechanism completely inside the door so no fishing for the lock handle can be done via the window or cracks in the handle.

The 'easy unlocking' feature is idiotically simple to fool as shown. Almost the same as in the late '90s when you could just cycle through the ~2-10k combinations on the fobs.

My advise would be: use the buttons on the key and disable the easy-unlock feature which can usually be done either in the car's settings or at the garage.
Jamón Serrano does not have Spanish DO protection status but has an European agricultural protection status known as TSG.
