> gcc supports auto-generating stack overflow checks.

I don't know what that means. I don't see how auto-generated code would fix my problem. The regex parser should return an error to the caller if the regex exceeds some limit.

Dynamically growing the stack sounds like a cute hack. I doubt I'd consider it superior to just using the heap though.
I am taking great enjoyment from imagining the expression on your face when you saw the server logs earlier on.
My wife is Malaysian, but I am not. Here is my outsider's perspective:

* Street food is very tasty, but often laden with gular (palm sugar) or rock sugar (case in point: Sambal). You don't notice because it's spicy!

* Sweet drinks (milo, teh tarik) often accompany the spicy food.

* The street food is so cheap, and available pretty much everywhere. People avoid cooking at home[1]. Fresh fruit and vegetables are not that cheap.

* Because the weather is so hot and humid, people avoid walking.

* People like to eat white rice, as opposed to brown rice (high GI)

* Society has transitioned to office work rather than manual work

* People can afford larger portions because they are wealthier

* The weather is hot and humid, so people avoid walking outside during the day! AC office to AC car to AC shopping mall, etc, etc.

[1] One fascinating thing I have noticed is the concept of a "wet" and "dry" kitchen. The dry kitchen is inside the house, and is almost a show-piece. The wet kitchen is where the real action happens (albeit by the maid), but is typically a lean-to adjoining the back of the house.
Back in the days my friend had a motion detector (which just compared with previous input) on his webcam which would write the pictures which were served over Apache. He'd use this to figure out who entered his room (attic), and what they did there. Until one day his mother cleaned his room, the camera got pointed upward to the top window, and it was weirdly cloudy with clear sky in between. That day his harddisk got full.

Looking at the input devices for data:

Accelerometer: phone’s motion and vibration
Camera: motion in the phone’s visible surroundings from front or back camera
Microphone: noises in the enviroment
Light: change in light from ambient light sensor
Power: detect device being unplugged or power loss

This is a bit more advanced. It can warn when it loses function, power, or is unplugged. It can also be self-aware that its being moved or touched.

A Raspberry Pi can have a camera module and one can easily script the power loss capacity. You can plug in a microphone on the USB. Light sensor is sortof within the camera, just requires constant stream. Accelerometer is just a bonus on top of camera. You'd see the device moved via camera as well.

I see a few problems running this in a hotel room: its gonna need 24/7 connection. WiFi captive portals (common in hotels) usually time out after a while so you might prefer a SIM card, or either. Both would require something like a VPN or SNT. The data shouldn't be that much. Problem is, what if these networks aren't available? The power is essentially paid for, and not that much, but running this 24/7 is going to have impact on the battery life of your phone.

For me, this would be useful for another reason: cause we got a paid cat caretaker when we're not around.
On a Chromebook, open the play store and download an alternative browser. It is that easy. Or sideload an apk if you've decided to opt-out of the play store.

When it comes to an alternative engine, Firefox on Android is Gecko-based rather than being based on Chromium. You can install this on a Chromebook. If you need any more help understanding, please let me know.
I am reading through GTD now (brought it years ago, but in an amazing twist of events, never got through it) and his suggestion would be to have exactly one in place, where all your information gets put, then you sort through it one at a time, not to do the item, but to figure out where the item belongs: in your case it is very clear that it does not belong on slack, but in a bug tracking system, so just put it there.

Wasn't surprised to see it was one of Jeri Ellsworth's videos that inspired him. The production quality of her videos seem stuck in the early 90s but the actual content is top notch inspiration. She has a great one on the importance of failure that anyone struggling with not being perfect could benefit from. Nice to see younger folks getting value from her sharing.
I had similar issues -- I ended up writing relatively copious notes, which meant that I didn't lose track of what I was doing and I could answer when asked what the status was of X, "oh yeah, you told me to do that on tuesday, but I had put it aside due to foo, bar and the release of bax".

I think that's pretty awesome.

Fascinating. Is the api simply text-in to audio-out, or can the text be marked up for composable with something like SSML? The ability to insert appropriate paused for pacing, change intonation, etc would be very useful.

Strictly speaking, yes, but it's a well known and used term to refer to the practice of somehow hiring an employee away from a company.

The term is demeaning to employees, but the connotation is pretty well understood. It's not really meant to convey proper ownership, just that the employee was lured away.

Close to but definitely non-zero IMO. The quark model has been around for less than 100 years; push that out to, say, 1000 year time-scale, and I could certainly see it developing entirely new physics compared to what we now know. The Standard Model is well-founded, but explaining the things it currently doesn't (gravity/dark energy/neutrino masses etc.) could well require it.
I used to organize every bill in a file cabinet. Then a few years ago I switched to "throw everything for a quarter in a single folder." Now I'm about to switch to throw everything for the year in a single folder". (a few exceptions for major expenses like house, car etc). This allows me reduce the possible search space a lot with very little effort. Over the past few years I've found myself looking for 1 or two things from the past year. Total time spent was 10 minutes. This was way less time than filing everything.

There also is (was?) a daily limit on advertising for german stations, even commercial. Thus barely any ads at night. Some shows even had to be classified as add due to heavy product placement, so we barely got any other adds that day.

Liu Wei, a Chinese artist goes around the streets of Beijing on June 4th asking people ‘What Day is it today?’ hoping for an answer on the lines of ‘Today’s the 16th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre’ but what he gets instead is a lot of ‘I don’t know’'s from the people whose faces clearly say otherwise.
It is strange that such a relatively recent event has so big uncertainty in the historical records.
> So don't use them for 2-factor authentication anywhere.

I use multiple forms of 2-factor auth, so if I lose my phone, I can still access my accounts. I use:

* Five (5) physical U2F keys – which can authenticate you into Google on Chrome. The keys are spread out between home, office, trusted family members, and elsewhere; so if I lose one key, I still have other(s) to fall back upon.

* Backup codes (stored in a safe place)

* Phone (Google Authenticator app + voice + SMS)

How is it different? You're practically making my point for me: knowing the composition doesn't mean you understand a material in any meaningful way. If the people supposedly running these warehouses are honest, we have to assume they've done all the obvious tests and are still confused.

Just to belabor the point some more, we didn't know until recently that damascus steel contains carbon nanotubes (probably derived from plant material). Was an XRF machine ever going to pick that up? Not in any detail, I'm guessing.

No, they are working on their own SoC to launch it in the next Pixel phone or in the one after.

They want to become like Apple and control their entire ecosystem all the way from the hardware to the software in their premium phones. They are tired of the current mess with all smartphone makers polluting the market with Android phones that stop being supported after a couple of years. Their target to have a full premium Google phone is around 2019.

It seems like we go through a round of this every couple of years. First it was Google Plus, then it was Quora, it's been Facebook for a while, and now OKCupid has thrown themselves into the idiocy ring.

I've already written and spoken at length about how misguided, stupid, and harmful these policies are. So has the EFF. For years. There really is no excuse for a company to even consider adopting one of these now, assuming they adopt policies based on evidence and reason, which seems increasingly unlikely.

This one is particularly egregious because of all the abuse it opens people up to, especially women. If you have a photo and a legal first name, all someone has to do is match the photo against Facebook or flickr, match your first name, get a last name, and the address comes along shortly after that. Because of the nature of okcupid, I could actually see someone sending a woman a few messages, taking it personally that she doesn't respond, looking her up, finding her physical address, and then she shows up as a news tragedy.

If OKCupid moves forward with this, there might actually be blood on their hands in the future.
Did you calculate that?

750000000000 chance every 10 minutes * say 1,000,000 CPU miners = 1 / 750000 per 10 minutes, and 1 in 14.27 per year. I don't think their are 1,000,000 CPU miners, but I suspect their are at least a few thousand of them for the lul's.

The government insures bank deposits because it, and the vast majority of its citizens, has/have a vested interest in the stability of its currency. That's kind of the point of fiat currency. At the end of the day, there are dudes with guns that will back its value. Not so with Bitcoin. And good luck to any expecting that to change.
Yes. It’s a distasteful thing to write.
> even safe dosages of the substance they're using?

Can anyone, even experienced and properly educated users, truly know the safe dosages when the potency (and potentially even the substance itself -- see, e.g., the fentanyl analogues used in heroin) of the drug in question are unknown?
Languages age slowly. Before you heard of it, it’s probaly several years already. Before it reaches stability and nontrivial adoption it’s often a decade old.

For “new in 2017” you should probably be looking at research papers for languages constructed to show off some novel feature.
There are people who plow through almost everything written in type theory and language/compiler design. I don’t but I’d love to hear a summary of 2017 from the research side of things, from someone who does.

The Tank Man (1989) : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d8/Tianasquare.j...

`An unknown protestor bravely stands in front of a column of armored tanks as an act of defiance against the Chinese government following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.`

`This photo is one of the most iconic images of the 20th Century and has since been widely used to represent the protests. It was a set of student-led popular demonstrations in Beijing which took place in the spring of 1989 aimed at exposing the deep splits within China’s leadership. It was also known as the ’89 Democracy movement. The protests were triggered in April 1989 by the death of a communist leader.`

The thing is, you cannot submit to a "lower-tier journal"; once you get accepted to one journal, no other journal will allow you to resubmit the same results (even with readability improvements).

The way I've seen things done in CS these days is not so bad, though:

Iteration 1: When you are done, you submit to arXiv and simultaneously to a conference. Conferences usually have as strict page limit, so many things get swept into the appendix.

Iteration 2: You get review comments from the conference; depending on the rigor of the reviewers, these may or may not be ideas how to improve the text. You submit the camera-ready version of the conference paper.

Iteration 3: If the paper was more extensive, you start preparing a journal version, where you can move things back from the appendix make the text cohesive again. You probably also have feedback from the conference participants, which is often extremely useful.

Iteration 4: You submit to a journal, you get a (usually quite thorough) reviews and you integrate them to the final version of the paper.

---

Bottom line: I'm saying it's not so bad (compared to just a single iteration) but I hate this system. First, it does not allow community contributions from outsiders (such as PhD students who read your paper and notice something small that can be improved) and second, after Iteration 4 it is nigh-impossible to make small improvements to the paper unless it was spectacularly wrong.
This is a particularly political event so reports from both sides need to be treated with scepticism.

Ebola didn't come close, but SARS, in 2002, did; it was similar in all ways to the 1918 flu, including lethality: high single-digit percentage of the population in affected areas had it spread unchecked. Fortunately, the threat was recognized and the disease was stopped with an aggressive campaign of contact tracing and quarantine, or the death toll would have been several hundred million. The universe is a far more hostile place than we remember in the course of an average day.
It's also against eBay policies to require the return of counterfeit items:

> If a buyer suspects that an item is counterfeit and there are strong indicators that the item is counterfeit, the buyer isn’t required to return the item to the seller. The buyer agrees to cooperate with us to ensure the proper disposal of the item. In such cases, we refund the buyer for the full cost of the item and original postage, and the seller reimburses us for the refund. The buyer may not sell the item on eBay or elsewhere.

Not a joke. A practical design choice. He didnt want any delays associated with the payload. He didnt want a "failure" should his rocket work but the payload fail. He needed a known object, something that had at least gone through the vibration testing to ensure it didnt damage the rocket on launch. And he likes being rich. So he took the oppertunity to use the launch of one product to promote another. Nothing of this is funny to him. This is business.

Or he just wanted an excuse to go car shopping again.

But if one were to use the technology for tracking shipping containers or mail then what sort of mining would need to be done?
