I love me some in n out burgers but unfortunately their fries, while commendably fresh, aren’t very good. You have about 3 mins to eat them before they become cardboard. There are legitimate culinary reasons to freeze potatoes before frying, it bursts the cell walls which helps to achieve a better fry.

As far as west coast burger chains go, The Habit has way better fries.

In N Out’s burgers though are so good, double single animal style with peppers is heaven.

Compilers can - and, indeed, do - diagnose UB as compile time errors, or at least warnings (which you can then turn into errors if you want) all the time.

Now, it is not undefined behavior for the function to not return anything despite having a return type. It is UB for the caller to try to use the returned value, but in this case it's not actually used.

The implicit int feature is really very much deprecated (in fact, it was already removed in C99, almost 20 years ago!). If, for some mysterious reason, you're trying to compile code like that, it's probably very old code dating to before C was an ANSI standard, and void return type was a thing. In such code, it would be pretty common for functions to not return anything, because semantically they don't - it was just a quirk of the language that there was no notion to express a non-value-returning function back then, and so returning an (undefined) int became idiomatic. In C89, this entire behavior was retained largely because backwards compatibility was necessary. C99 finally fixed it.

I don't think there was anything sudden about it. From a 2003 BBC article

Its rival, al-Jazeera, has ruffled feathers among
governments in the West by screening videotapes from al
Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. And by giving a platform to
exiled Middle East dissidents, al-Jazeera has upset Jordan,
Kuwait, Algeria and the Palestinian Authority, among others.

Here's a 2014 article about Al Jazeera journalists being criminally sentenced in Egypt for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/egypts-imprisoned-al-jazeera-journa...

It's not like you can just flip a switch once you realize you have a problem. It's great that your friends were able to break free from their addiction, but there are an infinite amount of factors that can (and do) prevent others from doing so.

Logically, sure, you recognize a problem, and you work hard to get rid of it. And many people are able to do that.

One train can have a capacity of 1000 people. If you run these at 3 minutes interval, you have a throughput of 20,000 people per hour.

One bus takes less than 100 people, and you cannot run 200 buses per hour. Actually about 20 buses per hour is pretty much at the upper limits.

These are rough numbers, but if you need to move more than 2000 people per hour, trains can have the capacity but buses don't.

However, pretty much everyone--including the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Reports, and the American Automobile Association--agrees that the total cost of ownership runs to US$8000-$9000 per year for the average person. The cost might be a lot lower for you, but most people are paying a lot of money for having a car at their disposal without realizing how much they're spending.

If you rephrased that as 'a templating language for generating Go code', it would slot into the 'go generate' build stage and people would love you (if you got it right ;) ). The only current solution to boilerplate and lack of generics is code generation, but the templating languages all seem to suck for Go code generation so people are stuck with writing Go programs to generate Go code (like the various enum generators), or attempt to marry Go code with the standard text templating which is awful to work with (like, say, Xo).

Hersh's recent work has been pointedly criticized as that of a conspiracy theorist versus an investigative journalist. [1]

Generalizing reporting in "most US mainstream outlets" as "childlike misrepresentation" is the kind of fake news doubt-sowing that is killing our (America's) relationship with facts.

There has been some excellent reporting on the relatively complex Syrian Civil War from stalwarts such as the Washington Post and the New York Times. Even upstart Buzzfeed News has done some great stuff that was carefully sourced and thoroughly investigated - regardless of how bad it made the US look.

My perspective is that of someone who has been professionally and personally following the Syrian Civil War since 2012.

TL;DR: Yes, I see there is potential. But as always, MS botched it.

Edit:

As an example where they did object-based scripting better, I'd look to F#, which also is a vastly better language. But it doesn't have good on-the-fly capabilities (you have to set up a project each time and need VS), and it doesn't come built in.

<rant>

> [...] the ability to deal with objects can make things a bit easier and more robust.

There are drawbacks to that too, though. As a heavily object-based scripting language, PS would depend even more on tooling than scripting languages do anyway. But that in turn means that the tooling we get just isn't good enough. Windows is notorious for its bad CLI windows, which hasn't changed much even with Win10. Discovering objects in PS is a usability nightmare. The little tab completion there is might be fine for one-off commands, but for anything interesting, it'll fall flat on its face.

If you have heavily state-dependent task, ISE contains more friction than value. Until today, I haven't found a simple and fast way to wipe the shell window clean, for example. If you still have things like sockets lying around (which means you'll have to restart the process for a clean state, it seems you're SOL).

Which brings me to

> If you are going to use powershell, try ConEmu.

I'd love to. I can't. In many business environments where you're not in control, "just installing independent tool X" is not an option. Yes, organizational BS is a separate problem, but you're not getting anything done fighting it. And honestly: It's about effing time MS distributes actually usable tools with their OS. I really don't get why that's the particular thing they fail so gloriously at.

The same problem extends to all sort of things. For example: Why the hell aren't the Sysinternals tools built-in already? It's been what? A decade? And there still is no decent Task manager in Windows? Gimme a break!

Qatar is the biggest sponsor of Islamic radicalism and terrorism all over the world. They also pay western politicians and media to tarnish their neighbor countries especially Egypt.
I read something rather different; depicts Trump as clueless, infantile, and manipulated by Saudi Arabia; all these countries have a risky excess of American made arms, Qatar in 2017 alone ordered enough military jets to increase its holdings by a factor of 8. The mere possibility of Emirates or Saudi Arabia let alone both, starting a war or attempting a coup of Tamim should bother anyone. I don't see how it's remotely propaganda, what's the motive? And is it really such good propaganda to depict the leader of the free world as inept and a compulsive Twitter junkie?

And Erdogan staged his own failed coup. By all rights even before the coup attempt Turkey should be ejected from NATO. A conspiracy is not required to oppose an autocrat in violation of his country's constitution, and has made it a good deal less secure by showing to its enemies how easy it is make it react contrary to its own law, its international agreements, and the will of its own citizens. But I don't really know why you bring up Turkey, as this article doesn't mention it.

If you look at my post history, at some point I used google to determine the average words spoken per day. I initially trusted Google's answer indicating women speak 2 to 3 times as many words per day on average as men (which is not true).

A quick Google search on my phone for "average number of words spoken per day" gives similar results right now. Although the text starts with an ambitious sounding phrase "previous research" it ends in present tense and has 7000 in bold for men and 20,000 in bold for women.

Reminds me of the plot of "Good Bye Lenin (2013)"...
It's not just a matter of detecting objects and locating them. The deeper computer vision problem is to identify object attributes, relations between objects and actions in video. It's much harder to do that because many relations appear in very diverse situations, with objects of different categories, so it's hard to have 1000's of examples for each class of relation.

For example, humans can identify a monkey riding a Segway on the airport runway, but there probably is no such thing in the training set, even if it is quite large. The neural net might not know if that constitutes a "riding" action because it has never seen such a combination. Maybe the monkey is jumping over the thing and the picture shows it in proximity to it, not riding it - a human would know that a slight gap means there is no riding taking place.

Then, the even harder problem is to predict the consequences of actions on objects and just to physically simulate the scene. Such knowledge is useful in robot action planning. Beyond computer vision, there is also a need to create a "mental simulator" that has theory of mind and can simulate other agents (what humans intend), and we need simulators, both physical and mental to create the next level of AI.
