> Post like that brings me back to earth every time I dream of running Linux only.

It's not a Linux problem, it's a Windows emulation problem in Wine.

As for Linux, I'm using it for 25+ years, and I ditched Windows 10+ years ago. Windows is not necessary to do stuff. However, if you vitally depend on CS5 then running CS5 in emulation is not the best idea. At least you can use it properly in a PC emulator like VMware in Linux.

Thanks for your project, I've downloaded some ebooks and it was great to read them. I would just like to let you that, at least on my ereader (sony prs t1), the book covers do not show at all. I looked at the epub source and I think I saw some svg in the cover, it was probably that.. It's an old ereader..

Im a EU citizen, who in the past have qualified for an 01 visa in the US. Im planing on starting a US based business based on my technology with a US partner, we are pre revenue so the company cant pay me yet. What would be the best way for me to be able to work in the US? If you have gained 01 status, do can you use that to gain it again with a new employer or do you have to start over from scratch?
That is incorrect, it exists since 2011.

Whether or not it's intentional on your part, you didn't understand what I pointed out at all. And you are literally making it up that "non native code runs just fine" and native code isnt a requirement. Do you think it makes it true just by insisting there's no way anyone might ever need native code? Lol. You're just displaying your ignorance and inexperience. However I at least am not tied by your choice not to have the real answer. Thanks for leading us down a completely useless rabbit hole after not understanding what I said at all. I'm sure you'll come up with all kinds of reasons why your point of view does not have to be discarded as invalid. But your "ideas" are exactly what led to have toolkits like Flash and HTML/CSS. Congrats. That's what happens when people are asleep.

I know this isn't a constructive comment, but this cult terminology bothers me.
>The article mentions some exceptions, but it's a completely different playground. Rumi, Lao Tzu and Buddha were using their teachings as a practical instructions, rather than theories aiming to prove anything about the world.

Is philosophy about proof or understanding? Math and the sciences are there to look for proof. Remember that Science used to be called Natural Philosophy, which has now become a philosophical enterprise based on conjecture and empirical reproducible observation.

We need philosophers through their teachings to make sense of all that messiness and let those branches of philosophy such as the sciences gradually work out how it works in ways that can be confirmed and proven.
Motivation to get out and vote, probably. Remember Proposition 8 in California?

Good work chaps.

I mostly use macOS software (Pages, Numbers) which I have been pleasantly surprised by how they worked and Google Docs.

Are there plans to update the interface? I feel like a good UI is really important.
It probably is, but (as with MS and IE), by the time the courts finally give a verdict on the matter it will be too late for everyone else.
I believe you're right about tax treaties.

However I suspect that in the case of a US citizen, that doesn't mean you don't have to officially declare your tax status/income to the IRS each year. Hence the parents worry that he's going to have to trawl back over his entire working life to 'prove' that he doesn't owe any back taxes.

IANAL, but am from the UK, lived in the US for a few years and have had to deal with moving back and forth.

Only running things that are installed by default is an odd concept. Sure, it's an extra step and you have a "similar enough" language sitting in the base OS. But I never stick to vi because vim isn't installed and I don't stick to sh because bash isn't installed etc; Sometimes the improvements are worth-while.

But the need for "upgrade" is not arbitrary, I wouldn't claim that you need to upgrade to maintain support for instance, since dropping support for 2.x is seemingly arbitrary in isolation.

I would instead claim that the features in python3 (and some of the backwards fixes like UTF8 everywhere) are incredibly desirable.. Static method decorators, improvements to string formatting along with, of course, asyncio and other goodies like ordered dictionaries and key-word only arguments.. There's a lot going on there and most of it is good stuff but it's impossible to backport because 2.x is architecturally broken and required a breaking upgrade.

In answer of your question; I have python3 installed on all servers. SaltStack supports it so even on Windows we use Python3.

I don't understand the following sentence:

> ... it is strongly recommended that you only free memory allocated by a Vec by creating a new Vec and dropping it.

Could someone parse this for me? To me, it reads like "to free memory allocated by a Vec v, create a new Vec w and drop it (i.e., w)".

This is obviously not what it is intended. What's the role of the second Vec? Is this only in a context where v is empty but its memory not yet freed? If so, why wouldn't shrink_to_fit work in that case?

I'm not sure "major setback" applies. They lost a court case, but according to Uber they're already complying with transportation services regulations anyway. If that's accurate it seems like the ruling is a formality in some sense, and the Reuters title is more accurate. It is a blow, but in the sense that they lost the case, not that it substantially affects how they operate.

On the UK map you can see all the closed railways - zoom in to London then go south and see all the dotted lines.
I get around this by installing both version of WinPython. It's super easy since you install them into separate directories. You can double click into the command prompt shortcut that links to the folder and use pip to your liking for each version. Changing the interpreter in PyCharm is about two clicks too.
What? Surely deployment is by far the easiest part of machine learning? The learning is the hard part. If you are resource constrained, then learning a small/efficient model is even harder, obviously. As for binary math, usually all you need is the standard bitwise operators and popcount.
It's not too hard to suggest changes to the maps using their feedback option. I've done it around my town to fix some one-ways and lane options a few times now and they get added within a week or two usually.
Holy crap. That's a lot of 'extra functionality' for a lamp. I'm so done with all these pieces of hardware that have a bunch of stuff thrown in that has absolutely no bearing on the original functionality. Ditto forced online registration for appliances before they work (Sonos, for instance).
I would add that the topics given are paramount to development. Refusing to do anything demonstrated that he doesn't want to do any work -or can't- for the position he applied to.

I don't need to. I haven't had a need to save resources for over 5 years. I can't remember exactly when that need went away but likely it was earlier than 5 years ago.

And those two thinkpads have been running Fedora with a full Gnome 3 suite without issue.

In the beginning I even had local VMs but now I use my home lab for that.
Most tech people now seem to use uBlock Origin. But I use uMatrix (from the same developer) and I am super happy with it. It took me a minute or so to understand the interface. But then it is super intuitive and exactly the way I would have designed it myself.

Since I only allow the hosts that I need, I almost never see advertising. And the web is blazingly fast.
Most of the time when somebody is selling "premium service" in IT, it doesn't mean "better service", but "regular service while we artificially make any other ones worst".

Regular customers will just see their quality drop for the same price. Web sites will have to pay for the bandwith their customer already paid for to their ISP.

It's going to suck.

Hope this never happens in France, but our leaders love to copy the worst decisions taken in the US so...
> That is simply not how computer languages work.

True, not how major revisions work, indeed.

Elephant in the room is that this is a chicken/egg problem.

The best of both worlds is a temporary transition period where you can run both (like we want both IPv4 native and IPv6 native). Unfortunately because that doesn't get adopted either we get in a situation where people need to pick either.

Looking at the last one... that's an amount of engine nozzles I've never seen together before, beyond works of sci-fi and (obviously) Kerbal Space Program.
The thought of lighting up 27 rocket engines in unison is absolutely crazy. Then again, SpaceX thrives on crazy ideas like reusing rockets, which are now the norm.

Good luck to them. Will be interesting to watch this beast launch!

This starts with the assumption that Google Maps is better.

I don’t get it.

It’s literally worse at everything I try to use it for.

- Directions are so bad I have to recommend Uber drivers not use it.

- The mobile website is practically unusable with an appallingly bad UI

- The mobile app is not much better, and continually tries to upsell to other google apps.

The strange thing is: they own Waze which is better at basically everything.

Maybe the experience on Android is better, and their desktop site is great, but I’ve been using Apple Maps and Waze and it’s just so much of a better experience that I think they’ve lost me for good.
It feels like the ruling is essentially stating the obvious.
Not a thing! It's all you need.

Exactly. I don't see how this can possibly not be considered illegal anti-competitive behavior.

Their goals are not really anti-competitive. The point of this feature is to stop the bleed from ad blocking extensions and alternative browsers which are the real threat to their business.

But there is no way for them to do this that doesn't end up looking really bad.

Probably they know it will get shut down eventually, but it will take years to happen, so worth it.
Of course it will affect them - they will have to ensure their drivers are fit to drive at all times. Drivers will not be able to work extended periods of times and Uber may be forced through this to pay for holidays + sick leave.
Correct title should read 'native ad-filtering'.

(remark directed towards techcrunch - blocking would e.g. be uBlock Origin)
How much do you pay for that plan?
Sure, but that doesn't mean that if you hire engineers who then screw you over you're a bad person and they're heroes.
I use that but it's a bit of a mixed bag. Works pretty well in general but sometimes it's just incredibly slow, or decides to display a portait image with 100% width in a half-height view, spanning half a dozen screenfuls, instead of doing something reasonable like resizing so that both dimensions fit.

Maybe you could file a bug at https://github.com/standardebooks/tools ? Alternatively, I had a similar problem with my Kobo and Calibre, which was messing with the file in some way even though I had all conversion options disabled. I just use Finder to copy them over now.
What's BFR?
Fairing diameter of Falcon heavy is rather smaller than BFR and BFR should be cheaper.
Motif is from 1989.

Is it though? Why don’t you see consumers or some other group besides the local taxi interest taking them to court?

To me all this stinks of using the courts to protect the market share of the taxi unions because they are unable to do it from years of protectionism.
Conversely - we see decent conversion rates (at worst no difference to regular) so... maybe it’s your approach?

I hate AMP with a passion but your specific objection hasn’t been true for us.

Can anyone say what they will do during the first real launch? Where would they be trying to go to? How does a test like that work? I love space, I just have no idea how they actually would do a test of that magnitude.
Did the general public really feel the consequences of that data breach personally yet?

Not to go all Godwin but when the parent mentioned "something really bad and really large scale" my mind immediately went to the holocaust and other genocides. Can you imagine a totalitarian regime having access to this type of tracking data? It's pretty chilling.
This is their answer to how, though it doesn't answer the "why" question:

"The maps are completely separated.
Waze and Google do share traffic info and reports.

Waze uses Google maps database for search (besides our own db ofcourse).

Sometimes Google maps data is imported into Waze. Streets, streetnames, parking lots.."

Your argument boils down to: they are not taxi service, because they are ubiquitous.

There is nothing about taxi definition that would exclude ubiquitous from it. There is nothing about taxi definition that would exclude companies with easy to use apps from it etc.
If you really want to work in the US as an engineer, then earning a Master's degree from a US university is among the direct paths to obtaining the right to work. Although foreign nationals are generally prohibited from working on a student visa, after graduation there are reasonable provisions under which they can legally work in their field of study.

Good luck.
I am so much excited about this upcoming launch. If they get the F9Heavy to work like the F9, this opens up entirely new possibilities in space. With the F9Heavy, not only very heavy loads can be put into orbit, but both the Moon and the Mars can be reached at a much lower cost than any previous system.

Beyond being just a cool new rocket, what faszinates me most about the F9Heavy, is the clever system approach by SpaceX. They are not only reusing the F9 design, but two of the three first stage cores alreay had launched cargo into the orbit. This is just mindblowing.
It's rare to enter a filter in rule by hand in uMatrix in the first place, so you just go to the matrix and switch the box from red to green.

I actually just switched from uMatrix back to uBlock Origin, because uBlock makes it easier to block individual JavaScript files, rather than blocking JS wholesale.
