Dutch is indeed rather similar to English, especially old English. Especially if you, like me, are more sensitive to grammar than vocab when getting a feel for a language. But English vocab is very Frenchified.

It's true that the 100 or so most important words in English are still Germanic, and also that all European languages imported tens of thousands of rare, fancy, words from Greek, Latin and French. But I am talking about the middle-space, those few thousands of common-but-not-ubiquitous words that fill a student's vocab list.

In most Germanic languages that stuff is still largely Germanic, but in English it is much more mixed.
Only this new one does. DP 1.4 supports 32.4 Gbit/s. HDMI 2.0 supports less.
I'm not a fan of running a hardware firewall that's long since passed its end-of-life date. There have been a number of critical vulnerabilities on these ASAs in the past. I'd rather stick with software that's kept up to date, like PFSense or OpenBSD.

Definitely agree on using other cast-off hardware, though.

I've found that enterprise gear is not exactly power friendly -- the Cisco 5510 is rated at 150W steady state, if it uses half that much power in practice (75W), that's around $90/year where I live.

In contrast, I paid around $120 for a PCEngines APU2 (running PFSense), and it uses around 8W of power (measured).

Old servers are the same -- the amount of power they use for the performance makes them expensive to run 24x7.

If the kid where given special training in lending/giving, with a lot of positive feedback, that may have a great effect. That is, not just that kid, but let the whole group do exercises where the good behavior is given a lot of positive feedback. Give no feedback on the bad but rather on the good, and let them have chances to do good, i.e. stopping the bad event in the track and give them a chance to turn it around.

At our local daycare they run campaigns certain story where they do all kind of games/workshops with the characters in the story the chose. I as a parent feel that it's empowering me as well, because I can easily relate to my kid at home or the playground when somethings off. It's not something you do one day, but rather a couple of months, interacting with lecturers that instruct staff in the day care how to do it properly etc. From what I have talked with the staff they enjoy it very much as well. This combined with tailored structure is powerful. AFAIK universities/research are quite interested in this.

We do have such a kid in they neighborhood and on the daycare, they think a lot of how to turn it around though. I hope that they will find a way to reach that kid with their current tool set. I think focused efforts on that kid/group for a longer period would have a good effect.
In C++ there is at most only one compare (presumably at the spot where the exception was detected). In Rust there is a compare all the way up the stack after every function call site, and it is executed if an error happens or not.
Thank you so much for this link, that is the best text-to-speech with an open architecture I've ever heard 'til now.

Although the digital download portion muddies the water, this seems to fall clearly under the first sale doctrine. As mentioned in the article, the seemingly applicable case of digital downloads getting exempted from first sale was only applies because the downloaded music was already downloaded once and sending it to someone else constituted copying which I assume falls under dmca.

I predict Disney will lose.

Big textbook publishers have been trying to pull this crap for years and were finally trounced in the Supreme Court when it was ruled that once a textbook is sold to someone, you don't get to dictate whether and where it can be resold.

Disney is selling a code for a one time download. Once you purchase it, and you haven't used it yet, you should have the right to do whatever you want with it.

AMERICAN IMPROVISATION (I need Jesus, I don't need a boyfriend)
Well, you're quite right, but I disagree that it's a problem. Snark, sarcasm and underhanded jabs are absolutely valid rhetorical techniques; and, if you don't like them, there are plenty of good responses in kind, that will reflect on you far better than if simply tell on them to teacher.

In case you were having difficult guessing, I'm minded to agree with tptacek. (And not just because of my sibling comment, in which I admit that my home network is indistinguishable from that of a 90 year old technophobe who got his not-daft-but-still-technically-ignorant grandson to set it up for him.) Is the interviewee's home network, assuming they even have one, really relevant?

If they're going to be setting up a network for you, wouldn't you rather they had experience doing something significant on a professional basis, not just setting something up at home?

If they're going to be doing something else, what relevance does any of this have?

They're selling codes that the DVD box said "aren't for sale". Whether that will hold up in court, I guess we'll see. I don't see why the owner of a thing gets to dictate what I do with the thing after I buy it from them. I bought the DVD with the code, it's mine to resell if I want, even if you didn't want me to when you sold it to me.

Yeah, a really crappy one that parsed a CSS file using Bison, and could change text colors, background colors, and position things based on pixels (no em or %).

I never got around to implementing class support, but I did allow targeting an element via ID.

I did this in C++ for some reason, and used Xerces to parse the XML, and I used Allegro to render everything. If I were to try and make this now, I probably would not use a rendering system designed for games, but I was naive back then.

I'll have to look to see if I can find the old files on my NAS; if I can I'll put it on Github.

What kind of double speak is this? At least some of the success of wechat, alibaba, et al is due to the fact that China is not operating in an open economy. International companies can't operate in China for reasons related to IP or information availability - and we're talking about how people outside China operate under different conditions?

But the declension system is not the whole grammar.

So while articles don't change much under declension, words like "a" and "the" are familiar to Germans but not to ancient Romans (I don't know about the French). Also the relative order of adjectives and nouns is Germanic. Conjugations, while simplified, still retain much of the old structure, and the set of tenses understood in English is quite Germanic.

This is something I never really understood. Because you have money (and maybe only marginally more money) some people feel your fear/suffering etc are trivial. I don't think money really makes it any less. While you might have better access to therapy or distraction peoples hurt is real.

USB 3.2 (and currently USB-C from it) doesn't support the 48GBps that HDMI 2.1 and 32GBps that display port 1.4 call for. USB supports a max of 20 GBps at currently. It's possible you can get more bandwidth using an alternate mode in the connector, but the spec says you can only guarantee up to the 20GBps over those modes currently. This means the higher resolutions and higher bitdepths (10bit, HDR, etc) may not be possible to push over the connector.

This is why Thunderbolt 3 requires special active cables to get the additional bandwidth by amplifying the signal to help get around the bandwidth limitation of the connector in a passive configuration.

> Sabbaticals are reserved for tenured professors

Why do you think so? Sabbatical means a break. It's common for professors, but why prevent other people from taking it? I took a sabbatical from my uni to do some real work (and ended up moving unis, countries as a result), then took a sabbatical from work for personal reasons and did other things I wanted to do.

If that prevents a burn out for someone, great! Not every company has enough projects going on to reshuffle you to the place you enjoy. (Or may not want to for valid reasons) Not every sabbatical is about burnout either.
That’s probably a simplistic view?
An ICO obviously introduces trust in a third party (the company issuing the ICO). Does that mean all ICOs defeat the purposes of crypto? To the degree that your view of crypto is that it is all about decentralized, quasi anonymous money transfer yes. To the degree that you consider the other benefits of crypto assets, no.
To add weight to the latter view point, I’d argue that Ethereum was the first ICO. Is the whole “purpose” of crypto negated with Ethereum? That’s a hard position to defend imho.
I hope I'm misreading your implications when you say "you make your children obey you by physical means", because it sounds like you're accusing the parent commenter of child abuse. I'm sure that's not what you intended but I wanted to make it clear how that could come across.
The difficulty is necessary for moderating consensus given more 'voters' (with their flops) joining the network.

I'm interested by your idea, but you would need to work by a different consensus model. Proof-of-stake would be interesting to investigate, since mining doesn't scale with computation power, rather holding of the currency.

Oh, I totally agree, rent control makes it hard to move and that's terrible, we should have many more market renters and we should build enough to keep market rates reasonable. I'm just saying the political coalition isn't really there.
> Why do you think so?

Because... that's what they actually are. A sabbatical was a very specific thing that was hijacked by HR people in tech companies. What you did was take a break; that has very different connotations than what a sabbatical is supposed to be.
I couldn’t disagree more!

This sabbatical seems exactly like something design to allow an expert focus on something outside the general scope of work. To really dedicate oneself to an academic pursuit.

I fully support providing engineers a conduit to build something that helps everyone!
I have the opposite problem. It's finding 1300+ domains that I don't own. The perils of name matching against a common name.
I just invested figuring that it won't crash until I buy into it, and I sorta want it to crash. Unfortunately, it has gone up another 20% since then so my strategy is failing.
Companies shouldn’t burn people out in the first place. Calling this bandaid a “Sabbatical” is just marketing to avoid looking bad for their poor management. They should use another word and not tarnish the very old tradition of academic sabbaticals.
I suspect the consumers will get over it once hunger sets in. I'm not really sympathetic to the consumers who may lose access to artificially low pricing subsidized by policies intending to keep wages low amongst the poorest people in our country.
Sadly, Ruby has a great profiling tool already built in: dtrace integration. It's the Linux side that's lagging in this case.
They can put whatever words they want in the box, probably assuming that few people would have the resources to fight them about it.
You described two problems.

You identified the first one correctly: they had the lead engineers estimate in isolation and not involve the team in any way until the end. Beyond being a bad way to estimate, it's a bad way to manage a team.

But then you said you should never provide a real estimate. That conclusion doesn't really follow. The leadership team has to come up with real estimates. "A is 4x as much work as B" is good information, but it's pretty useless when it comes to actual calendar planning.

The second issue, and the larger one, is that long, stop-the-world refactors (or rewrites) are the fastest way for the engineering team to lose all credibility in my experience. The business keeps moving even if new feature development doesn't. I've found incremental refactors to be the best way to go. And those are much easier to estimate.

As far as schedule vs. feature set, if you estimate properly and prioritize all of the least-needed features at the end, if you find yourself falling behind you just pop those tasks off. But you build that contingency in and communicate it up front.

Also, being the biggest means more inventors and hence a greater likelihood of inventions that can be exported.

"Professional Extenders" are everywhere, and it hasn't caused anything to become cheaper. If you show up at an urgent care, just expect that you will be treated by a LPN and a PA or a NP. A Family Practice physician's salary is about comparable to a Sr. Engineer at many tech companies (~160k), and they can have significant malpractice insurance overhead and insane hours. A PA or NP still makes 6 figures, so the "savings" just aren't there.

If you've ever had to attend something like Physical Therapy, you'll see the actual PT (a MS/Doctorate level professional aka DPT) about twice. Once for an eval, and once for a discharge. An "aide" will guide you through all the other exercises, and they make very significantly less than a PT.

The savings are mysteriously gone, even adding lower-salaried professional extenders.
