They have 27 engines, but the Soviet N1 still holds the record at 30[1]. For comparison the Saturn V first stage had 5.

Vouched for this link, it's actually quite interesting to see how this article stood the test of time.
Big buttons are not 'modern design' but simply symptoms of the fat fingers on a small touchscreen disease.
Way better to have all UI elements working the same such as button having the same design.

Automatic grouping of emails by type reeks of deep privacy invasion, a trademark of google. Besides this is something you can achieve by setting your inbox with a few folders and filters, this has been available in email clients before gmail existed so it's hardly modern.

WTH is snoozing message ? How does this help with dealing with your email ? Just implement a proper GTD flow and sorting of your email if you cannot refrain from constantly checking your emails when you are not ready to act on it.

Google gets it wrong about spam close to 85% of the time when you are on the sending side from somewhere else than gmail or one of the large centralized email services. Trying to reach someone on a gmail address is guaranteed to give you headache and soon you'll find yourself jumping through many hoops google has set for you, even then it's not uncommon that your recipient never see your very much valid email.

Then again google inbox is not a cross platform desktop email client and is out of bound for anyone caring about privacy or preserving the internet.
I’d take an M5...
They will launch Musk's Tesla Roadster into orbit around the sun, where it will continue orbiting for hundreds of millions of years.
> 100 GB

Just across the border, in Germany, a usual data plan includes only 1-4 GB before slowdown to 2G.
That changes everything. It's not a real test at all.

There is a broad range of exercises, a lot of which are for coding competition, way too long and too difficult for a short screening test.

I'd advise you to keep the majority of the exercises dead simple. An exercise to print numbers from 1 to 100 will tell you a lot about the candidate. An 1h dynamic programming exercise will stay unanswered most of the time, that doesn't tell you anything useful.

The first launch will be a "dummy" payload (nothing a customer is paying for). Elon has said on Twitter that they will be launching his Telsa Roadster out past Mars (there has been some discussion about how serious he was in this claim, but the general consensus among people who are pretty well connected with SpaceX is that he was indeed serious).
Brave is great. If you go into settings and disable javascript by default, you can easily use the Brave button to whitelist javascript on a site-by-site basis.

I cannot browse the web anymore with javascript enabled by default, it's such a terrible experience. I don't know how others can tolerate the state of things.
They're going to launch Elon Musk's Telsa Roadster into orbit of the sun, possibly to Mars orbit.

I'm not even joking. That's the goal.
Similar experience with Aix and DG/UX terminals.

Those pesky fellow students using a 21'' monitor to be able to run 4 simultaneous xterms running a mix of MUD and talk sessions, whereas we wanted to make use of the X graphics capabilities. :)
They've definitely gotten better at accepting corrections. Five years ago we just had to tell customers not to look for a driveway that didn't exist a mile away from our actual business. Now it's easy to correct any problems one notices.
Not sure if we're allowed to post links or whether this deserves its own topic, but this video is worth a look:

Wiliam Binney explains what has taken place and why. He labels Dick Cheney and the Bush Admin for panicking after 9/11. What he fails to mention is that the Obama Administration brought the illegality to new lows.
If I'm not mistaken, Bing maps had 3D building information years ago already, before Google Maps. The author seems completely unaware of that.
IIRC, the engines do not light up simultaneously, ignition is staggered.

"Tracking" is not negative enough. Let's go with "spy blocker".
It holds the record for the number of engines but it never successfully flew more than about a minute and three of them blew up on the pad. Hopefully that will be different for FH.

Thanks. Using Windows 10 fast ring, PWA support is poor. Opening a pinned site in the taskbar for say, Olark, doesn't highlight the Olark taskbar item, but highlights the Edge item, and starts a bunch of unrelated tabs. Are they going to fix that?

Uberpool was usually equivalent to Chicago public transportation personally. Some days it was roughly 20% more, but if my gf rode with me it was actually cheaper and was generally faster or aleast equivalent.
Coinbase is very simple to use until they flag you for no reason and then you're fucked. Source: Me, trying to access the GDAX account that supposedly comes with a coinbase account.
Docker Series – Creating your first Dockerfile
It's not exactly "unison" (it is indeed very tightly coordinated though). The engines will be lit in pairs, with a couple dozen milliseconds between each set starting up.
How is this different from me paying for more for faster internet?
I think the BFR is just the next logical step. One more size of rocket you can use to do more things. BFR is also simpler, being one big rocket with one landing to do rather than 3 synchronized rockets with 3 landings.

Plus faring size is much bigger on the BFR, which is needed for the Mars plans.
Flex was really, really slow
The real reason is that the Python community has been TOO NICE.

NodeJS and Ruby broke everything.

What did they do ?

They said "move your butt" and gave a small windows of time.

Everybody moved.

Python ?

We gave 10 years. Created tools. Tutorials. A way to write Python 2/3 compatible programs. Then gave 5 more years.

The result ?

Nobody moved for 9 years and spread FUD on how hard it is.

But the reality is: most people are not Google. They don't have thousands of 2.7 files to convert.

If you have a 20k LOCS Python project, you can convert that in 2 days. After what you will get a MUCH, MUCH better Python version anyway so it's largely worth it.
Is that definitely the case?

I interpreted this as meaning that although you pay for 10mb/s Internet, Comcast can offer a special package that allows you to stream Netflix in 4K.
Docker Series – Starting your first container
I’ve been a technical reviewer for Packt, they ignored the most useful of my feedback, which would have required a few larger changes to the book, in favour of publishing quickly. The result was something I certainly wouldn’t buy.

In addition, I was not qualified enough at the time to be reviewing that book. I hope I did a reasonable job, but neither me nor the author should have been involved as we were both far too junior.

My “payment” was a physical copy of the book I reviewed and 2 ebooks. Both ebooks I got were pretty terrible too.

These might be worth $5 for someone new to a technical field, but for anyone with any experience they will likely be far too shallow.
Yep. I've opened an account while in Netherlands, which was a mistake because now my account is showing "Netherlands" as the country. I have, of course, tried their "change country" flow, where you upload the ID and after verifying the country of that ID the country on the account should be changed. Except that I did this 3 times now, each time successfully verifying my British-issued ID, and my account country is still Netherlands. I've opened a support ticket more than a week ago and still have no reply.
Not to mention that BFR can carry approx 3x the payload of Falcon Heavy to LEO
In the other way, it's called FOMO :) (fear of missing out)

Actually both, sieve filters automatically based on rules you set (or your admin set for you).

More like same things, only difference is one you are in control and the other you are submitting to a third party who has control over your emails (and probably invades your privacy, profiles you, etc.).
After you understand what is collected on us by the government, this consumer type stuff won't matter to you. It all has to be reined in, but it won't be.

Because the taxi unions have a far less diffuse interest than the general public does.

Look, I have no idea if the existing rules are sensible or just erected as barriers to new entrants. Probably a bit of both. However, in general, businesses and individuals can't just say: "Nope, the law is stupid so I'll just ignore it."

I may think that things like liquor licenses for restaurants are a scam in many cities in the US (and they often are) but I'll get shut down in a hurry if I serve alcohol without one.
The test itself is to launch the second stage towards the orbeit. The big question is, can they make the three cores work as well, as the single F9 core does?

As they have excessive load capacity for the second stage with this test mission, but no commecial cargo to transport, if Elons tweets are to believed, they plan to send his 2008 Tesla Roadster into a Mars orbit. Beyond winning any award for sillyness, if SpaceX manages to do that, it would be the first private mission to the Mars orbit, which would be another big feat.
That's not helping. I live in Germany, and I have a friend who worked as a cab driver on the side for a year. May only be a small sample, but I didn't hear any dangerous or sketchy stories from them. But then again, that's Germany, which has (among other things) gun laws that are not a joke.
It's funny how they always vehemently advocate for states rights unless these states rights get in the way of their agenda.

Have a Helping of 8-bit Holiday Cheer (2017 Edition)
I find it interesting that not only is this rocket literally three Falcon 9s strapped together (including two that are reused) but they've not even taken the legs off. They don't look like they're going to unfold very well, though.
What makes them better than Postman?
If you think of Uber as a taxi union you can be less empathic to them, the same way people don't cheer for the taxi companies.
Worth mentioning: this isn't even the biggest rocket that's ever flown! The Saturn V that took man to the moon was a monster.

https://i.redd.it/whrexuerscpz.png

Of the rockets in that photo however, everything other than the Falcon 9 either isn't in production yet, or isn't anymore.
Repost of a repost of a repost
Slightly off topic: Does anyone here have CS6 running on the macOS >= Sierra? I was only able to find information that this is not possible because the launcher requires Java and Apple removed the JRE from macOS.
They haven't taken the legs off because they're going to attempt to land all 3 cores, probably 2 at the launch site and 1 on the drone ship
20 euros per month with "Free" (that's the name of the company) ISP.

"Free" has his share of problems, notably many people complain that the quality of their connection is strenuous at best, some people don't. It's a bit of gamble with them.

What can't be denied is that in France there was a before-Free and an after-Free. They introduced 20gb for 20E/month when everybody else was at 5gb for 50E/month (not the exact amounts, but it was that ballpark). The result is that the other ISP had to align themselves with Free, and now you have a lot of other similar offers to choose from. Yay Free.
From wikipedia:

> A closed platform, walled garden or closed ecosystem[1][2] is a software system where the carrier or service provider has control over applications, content, and media, and restricts convenient access to non-approved applications or content.

Surely you can see how google having control over which ads get through and which don't fits this definition.
According to the article, the ads deemed "overly annoying or intrusive" are defined by "the standards established by the Coalition for Better Ads, of which it is a member". Since it's not Google actually deciding this, how is that anti-competitive?

BTW, the Coalition for Better Ads has many members [0], including Facebook and other big ads providers.

I'm personally not convinced this will solve the issue, but I believe it's a least a step in the right direction.

> Can anyone explain why SpaceX is not going to invest in falcon heavy long run (switching to BFR instead)?

He argued exactly why in his 2nd presentation (with the revised and smaller BFR).

His belief is that a launch of the BFR will actually be cheaper than a launch of a Falcon Heavy, or even a Falcon 9. This isn't accounting for payload, he was saying the cost of of single launch would be lower for the BFR - it's a bombastic claim.

Having read about this subject, I can at least grok the economic argument. SpaceX is already in the rocket reuse business, and over the long run their costs will limit to the costs involved with refurbishment. Falcon Heavy will always have a higher operational cost because of the management of the 3 separate cores. Having only a single massive core offers obvious cost reduction.

There's also the business case for reducing the number of products they are supporting. Since the large rocket can launch small payloads, they can just use it for all their customers. Cost savings come in the form of simplification of the company's processes. Again, since they are now a rocket reuse business, this is possibly their primary cost driver.

While I understand that all in business terms, they're missing a critical component - sufficient proven demand to support enough volume to justify these investments and consolidation. Right now, there are not enough customers in the world to justify an investment to replace all Falcons with BFRs. They have an answer to that (however flawed), and that answer is simply "Mars".
I don't think the paving has as much to do with this as the smartphone traffic. I find drives on rural paved roads with no cell reception and low population are often overestimated by 30%. Maybe I drive too fast on these roads. I certainly appreciate Google keeping other drivers off these roads, however.
This recent article comes to mind, https://medium.com/@pranshum/10-lessons-on-3-years-with-pray...

What probably matters is what trainers think of it and whether or not part of what they think of it is "I will pay for that."
The topics yes, but on-demand, sprint-like solving quizzes in these topics, and context switching between all of them in short timespan, are these the requirements for the position? Then the compensation must be respectively outstanding? In most cases - no, it isn't.

Seriously, submit your current workforce to this smartass test under condition that they need to pass it to come over to the office tomorrow.
Using move constructors to keep them updated is a design pattern.

Most such datastructures either get implemented with Rc/Weak (which has a performance cost but often not a problem), or with "unsafe", which lets you write Rust as if it were more like C++ (you still have types, but you now also have certain dangerous abilities that you use carefully). Rust provides you the tools to properly abstract this unsafe such that it stays within the implementation and doesn't leak. This is true for Vec and BTreeMap, for example.

You're talking about arguing with the compiler but unsafe Rust is not much worse than regular C++ in this aspect (there are some differences), so you always have the ability to drop down to this place where the compiler won't fight you to do stuff like this. Generally you can abstract away low level datastructures as unsafe code that's safe to use from the outside (this is usually something you can manageably audit) and everything else stays safe. Most such datastructures exist as libraries or in the stdlib already.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t we always had paid fast lanes available? At least for VOIP this stuff hasn’t seemed very uncommon.
The core problem is not Mr Robot but that Firefox contains a function to add and remove addons without even leaving the slightest notification.

I was surprised that it didn't mention the 'Birkenhead drill,' which featured in Kipling, Heinlein & Weber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Birkenhead_(1845)#Birkenhe...
I often think of this kind of whimsical angle when I read other news stories about various archaeological and historical discoveries. There’s always so much discussion on how a particular statue is “the cultural center of the community” or that a jeweled box was of “great religious significance”.

How do we know that the Elon Musk of 3000BC didn’t just build a big obelisk for the lulz?

Probably a bigger question of the problems of inferring great significance from extremely few samples...
The three cores are boing to seperate from each other during the flight, and then are planned to individually land after the mission. The two outer cores are going to separate first, while the center core continues to propel the second stage a bit further up.
Only 1 failed due to some engine issue though. The rest was guidance related I think.*

Tell you what why don't I actually read the wiki

1. Electronics issue

2. turbo pump exploded - material science

3. aerodynamics

4. blew the plumbing when 6 engines were planned shut down at higher altitude. I'd argue that's a control issue.
This comment is a prime example of why Charlie feels like he can't win here.
DECWindows was a variant of CDE I believe. I spent the first few years of my career as a sysadmin for a large VAX-Cluster and had daily access to some DECStations running it.
GOP (“Grand Old Party”) == US Republican Party in case it wasn’t obvious from the apparent shortsightedness of the proposed law.
DECwindows is (at least in the later versions) built on top of CDE.

Please reread my comment. I was refuting this insistence that these two people were "prescient" when they weren't. They didn't have their finger on the pulse of crypto currencies and their potential. It was their dumb luck that some stranger talked up bitcoin to them while they sitting on a beach in Spain.

All this talk about how "prescient" they are and how they have now been "vindicated" is all pretty ridiculous. This is revisionist history. The NYTimes piece reads like a press release.

There 's a fair amount of luck involved in investing. They've been lucky twice. You notice there is no mention in this fluff piece about the investments they have made that have gone south because.

Sure, but I can Google map small locations you have never heard of in Africa. it's freaking nuts!
I'm not arguing that they're not a taxi service.
Colloquially they definitely are, and I don't know enough about the legal definitions to have an option on that aspect. I was just pointing out their competitive advantage over local taxi companies with local apps.
I've resorted to Baidu at the moment. Google maps in China is garbage. Hot steaming garbage.
That sounds like my cue to point out Privacy Badger from EFF, which does exactly that. It also works adaptively: it'll block any domain that looks like it's trying to track you, rather than relying on a central list.

This is in case you turn the Vec into a raw pointer (using as_ptr() and mem::forget) so that you can pass ownership over FFI or something. In this case it is not recommended that you free it by calling free(), it is recommended that you free it by using from_raw_parts to reconstruct a new vector and let it drop.

You need the second vec because the first vec is gone at this point. If it wasn't gone you could just let the destructor run.

In Rust Vec and Box also work as the malloc primitives; if you absolutely need to allocate contiguous memory of runtime-known size the best way to do it is to allocate a Vec and then extract the pointer from it. (There is a proper allocation API coming soon; and of course you can just call malloc/free, but this is the recommended way of doing it)

That's extra-impressive, then.
Interestingly enough i was really surprised when i used Gmaps in Thailand and Cambodia with the exact same issue of bad roads. It was usually accurate. However i think i always had cell signal so your assumption likely is right.
Are there any hardware options connecting old monochrome screens (such as MDA or Hercules) via modern technologies like USB?
If I may ask... Why did you have this assumption? I'm asking you specifically because like you said many sold their Bitcoin Cash.

I suspect those who didn't were mostly the ones with deeper insight of the underlying technology. When the fork occurred full blocks had already been a problem for well over a year. Segwit was not the solution and overcomplicated the blockchain. This is not debatable anymore. Bitcoin Cash abolished this "overengineering" and simply increased the block size. Disabled RBF making 0-confirmations a thing again. And lastly just recently fixed the DAA. Many think that Bitcoin Cash is closer to the original whitepaper by Satoshi. I'd argue that is true.

Currently the Bitcoin has had 100k+ unconfirmed transactions for weeks... and a ever growing mempool. You cannot transact or move your coins confidently without paying large fees. 500 satoshis/byte or about 30 dollars. The original vision is completely destroyed. Sentences like "store of value" are now the term used to describe Bitcoin. Very far from what the Bitcoin used to be. https://bitcoin.org/en/ is little more but a lie now.
Seems more efficient to bypass steam as a transfer medium. Just like in "The Martian".
