> Why click anything at all if you're going to be typing anyway? Pressing Win + R has worked since the beginning, taking you directly to the "Run" dialog.

Even fewer keystrokes, and less typing with Win 10: hit Win key, start typing Word (or settings, or mouse, or whatever), hit enter. The Start menu pops up, and is searched/filtered as you type. Compare this with the previous option (which still continues to work as well): Win key + R, type msword, hit enter. Not much in it with this example, but it's a neat way to access Start menu items rapidly.

For reasons I haven't yet explored, it occasionally fails to find an item, which is more puzzling than annoying. An item can be right there, and the keystroke search fails to find it. I miss the simplicity others have mentioned of the 95 Start menu simply being nested folders.
Lol I was just about to repost my pyNuklear link. Regular nuklear is fantastic if you like C, which I do too :-).
That argument is patently wrong: it's the quantum bullshit fallacy.

The point of the space argument I was making was that, if you need N bits of space to represent the input/output in classical computers, you should still need (I'm not sure if it's the case, but I don't see why it's not) Ω(N) qubits to do the same representation in a quantum computer.

The quantum bullshit fallacy is that, since an entangled N-qubit is represented as a 2^N-dimension vector with complex arguments, it's really a computation on 2^N elements in O(1) time. The first sign that this is fallacious is that the basis here isn't of size 2^N but of size 2^N - 1. We're still only capable of reading N bits of information out of an N-qubit register; the fact that classical simulation requires a much larger state space to compute the probability doesn't mean that there's an inherent ability to freely vary through all of those states to represent the entire state space.
I think it depends on the border crossing. At San Ysidro you can walk across and probably not get checked. I've walked across into mexico there a number of times (visa runs for TN) and never been checked, not even my passport. Granted I didn't have a bag with me. They tend to have a couple of guards who seem to check people occasionally, but I suspect if you were to walk across with a backpack behind a group of old ladies with luggage you'd probably be ok.
You know, that's great and all but now I don't want to hear anyone else accusing us Greeks of being lazy and unproductive because we prefer to lie on a beach and drink souvlaki instead of working. You know- like the German media did back in the height of the crisis.

> One issue is that the "new" left just can't get over open borders. It is in fact a major point of friction between traditional socialists and the more modern ones

(1) Internationalism over nationalism is old socialism; if anything.

(2) I've seen very few leftists (new or traditional) who supported “open borders” as a short-term policy in any modern advanced country; I've seen many who support reforms of immigration rules (e.g., in the US, aligning slotd within existig overall quotas better with demand by removing or altering per country limits as a means of reducing the incentive for illegal immigration)—or simply opposed adding additional restrictions—with those positions attacked by the nativist right as “open borders”, but very little actual support for anything like actual open borders.
Is the Bolt not good enough? It has similar-ish performance to the base Model 3. It's not as pretty, but it's quite functional. It also lacks the supercharger network, so maybe we discount that. That said, it is easier to get one right now, and though the list price is similar I'll bet you could get a much better out-the-door price from GM with discounts and incentives.

Post your message on the Ethereum blockchain, forever
TLDR; if you want to publicly announce your love for your SO, your hate for capitalism, your plan for world domination or your frustration with installing arch linux, you can do it here. A website will display your message for all the world to see, if only you pay more than the guy before you

https://putyourfuckingtextonthefuckingblockchain.com/

Hi guys, so for the last couple of months days I've been working on an Ethereum smart contract thingy. It's a small little project and I'd like to hear your opinion.

The idea is roughly as follows.

I like money.
So I created a smart contract which stores your message forever on the blockchain (in the form of a string) if you make a transaction which has a higher value than the previous one.

I also made a website which displays the latest string in a super large font and bolded letters for all the world to see. There is a javascript script running on it which enables you to instantly pay and submit your message (using metamask). There is another script running which displays the message on the actual blockchain.

I'm a super noob at solidity and I welcome all feedback! It's all open source and available for you to scrutiny.

I posted this to reddit as well (ethereum) ! I hope more and more small cool projects will be built on ethereum and I'd like to hear your opinion!

This looks really cool, my first instinct was "like xslt!" but this is way nicer and more pragmatic.

It's a shame that it requires X11 on Linux, though. As the renderer must already be decoupled from the rest of the code to support Windows and Linux, I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to rip out the X11 bindings and write to a framebuffer directly instead.

I have not had a chance to try it out for myself yet, but I have recently learned that webkit includes a direct-to-opengl renderer such that one can skip the Qt or GTK backend and write HTML/CSS/JS that outputs to the framebuffer directly.
>That is an extremely simplistic look at literature - you just reduced it to one sentence description of plot alone. That is not how it works and that is not how it ever worked.

There's more in the text than just the plot, but the story alone can be enjoyable without knowing everything else. I'll agree the old translation of an ancient poem is probably still going to be a chore, a better example is something like Dracula.

>And many many more that are decisively not accessible. You assume that people will dig for hours through guttenberg to find something fun and accessible, but they wont and probably cant.

No, I assume that people will find something fun and accessible by the same means they do elsewhere, either through talking to other people or looking at what's popular.
The correct answer to this question depends quite strongly on how much you're planning to drive.

Assuming you plan to drive a lot the answer is that the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is the Toyota Prius. Yes it costs more upfront but if you own it for 10 years and you drive 600k miles then it's the cheapest especially if your driving includes substantial freeway miles.

First it can get close to 70mpg (mine often does) with a mix of careful city/hwy driving. It's rated at 60mpg highway.

Maintenance on this car is very low. Oil changes are about every 10k miles and brakes are about every 150k miles (regenerative brakes do not eat much brake pad). The engine is almost always running at its favorite RPM which reduces engine wear a lot.

A Tesla 3 might have an even lower TCO but that's not proven yet and it definitely won't have a 750 mile range with the convenience of filling up at the nearest pump.

Definitely worth breaking out Excel and running the numbers on.
Yes and no: when you want to do real-time programming (either no allocation or allocation only during an 'initialisation' phase) using C++ like a better C is a good idea IMHO.

Build quality... you mean on the first couple thousand Model 3's? How is that surprising?

Most other manufacturers work out the kinks before mass production begins.

How does 20,000 Model 3's in the fourth quarter sound? That's an additional billion in sales just for that quarter. If Musk avoids building another giant plant in the next four or five quarters, their cash burn will drop toward zero rapidly.

If Tesla could demonstrate that they were actually capable of producing 20,000 Model 3's in a quarter, people wouldn't be so pessimistic. As it stands, they're still struggling to produce a few hundred cars a quarter without serious quality control concerns, and they've missed every self-imposed target for several years straight. (Tesla reported roughly 2500 Model 3s in all of Q4. For comparison, most other manufacturers can produce more cars than that in a single day.)
Thank you, but installing minicron requires the following dependencies:

Database
SQLite
MySQL
PostgreSQL

Web Server / Reverse Proxy
Nginx
A simple example config for nginx is provided.

If you're using apache as your reverse proxy you need to ensure you have the following modules installed:

libapache2-mod-proxy-html
apache2-utils

Run the following to enable them and then restart apache a2enmod proxy proxy_html proxy_http xml2enc
I don't think it qualifies as 'long-range'.
Wow, I've never heard anyone say anything nice about the API before. In my brief experience with using it via pyvmomi it was almost completely undocumented. Or maybe just documented at such a low level that it didn't help much.

As someone else in this thread mentioned, the libraries are "string oriented" (for lack of a better term), but finding what string to enter is a pain. I'd have to make API call after API call, printing the objects each time, find the string I needed, do another API call to get the next string, and go on and on, like digging into a deeply nested data structure. Compared to AWS via boto, it's hard to imagine not hating the vSphere API, let alone loving it.

But it is good that some people like it, these libraries must be hitting their target market to some extent.
So does this mean infrared wavelengths are around the lower limit for taking images with a reasonable size camera? I've played around with the thermal IR camera attachements for smartphones (i.e https://www.amazon.com/FLIR-ONE-Thermal-Imager-iOS/dp/B00VIL...) and they're pretty small.

Sewing machines are hard to miniaturize. I'll give you that the newer crop are cheaper, but they will also only last a fraction of the time, that decrease in price has also come at the expense of quality.

Not that that matters as much any more, people tend to buy clothing rather than make clothing, this particular machine was a wedding gift from my grandfather (a tailor) to my mother and it was meant to last a lifetime, so that the family would have clothes to wear. Making clothing was so common nobody thought anything special of the skill involved, everybody could do it!

But if you tried to seriously keep a family of four clothed today based on fabric bought and a modern day sewing machine you'd be buying new sewing machines ever few years.
> "1600x1200 was a standard "

Man, I really miss my Dell UltraSharp 1600x1200 monitor. I loaned it to a friend whose only monitor had died and he couldn't afford a replacement right away. It had been driven by my Mac mini which had fallen out of use anyway so I didn't miss it at the time. When I finally got it back from him, he neglected to tell me his son had hit it with a toy and damaged the LCD near the top. It was unusable.

I think I'd almost prefer a 4:3 beast like that instead of my 1080p screen today; about the only thing that would suffer would be games optimized for widescreen. First person shooters in particular would probably be claustrophobic without the extra peripheral vision a wide ratio provides.
Whether or not you can make a scalable quantum computer is beside the point, though. The question is, can you make a quantum computer that is competitive with a classical computer, speed and/or cost wise.

I suspect that any speedup imparted by clever uses of entanglement will be counteracted by the fundamental need for error correction and averaging over several runs. I look forward to being proven either right or wrong, and I suspect I will be in my lifetime.

What if they cut your face out and place it over a Playboy centerfold? Same deal. Several technogical innovations later, here we are. Fundamentally, nothing has changed.

You have two images, one physically overlaying the other...it's not even remotely the same thing as a single integrated image, technically or legally. Integrating the (edit) images (end edit) changes everything.

Fundamentally, people are still 100% within their rights to combine images legally obtained in this way. And post them online.

Completely. False. You may have the right to combine images for your own personal use (in the US, ignoring discussions of CP), but you absolutely do not have the right to distribute those images, and the associated tort actions both pre-date and have survived the First Amendment.

I think what you're trying to say is the CDN becomes another point of failure, that is, unless you have DNS failover which updates the DNS of cdn.example.com to point to your origin server's IP instead of the CDN in the event the CDN goes down. You should have monitoring & fail saves in place for your CDN, and if that's in place a CDN has higher redundancy vs just a single server is what the OP was trying to say, I bet.
One reason is that you and your ISP are almost certainly under the same jurisdiction. So your ISP is more likely subject to coercion by your government, compared with VPS providers in other jurisdictions. Further, you can choose VPS providers in jurisdictions where such coercion will not likely be successful.

Who is "they"? Who has been using Fischer's and Cushing's likenesses without contractual agreements?

Public photography has legal protections. Doesn't mean that if you took a photo of Obama at the gym you can use the photo in an ad campaign that suggests his approval of commercial usage.
That's because their cash burn declined dramatically. Cash burn is the primary threat to their business today.

The path they're on now, puts them to near profitable by the end of the year. That's while simultaneously missing the old Model 3 forecast by a mile. They're forecasting 5k Model 3s produced per week in the second quarter. Assume that production rate is further delayed until the fourth quarter, they'll still be near break-even on their cash burn rate.

It was about 1998 to 2000, somewhere there. I was 14ish, and I got 6, 486dx 33MHz machines by literally pulling them out of the trash after my high school threw them away.

I connected two of them with serial cables and spent about 6 months in DOS with Djgpp compiler and dos IDE, I used a chess library and coded in C, and I finally got the two machines to play chess against each other, client / server architecture using a serial protocol I invented - state was held on the server but transmitted to the client and the client made the decision and sent state to server. Pretty inefficient but I was very young and self taught.

There were tens of millions of vehicles recalled for manufacturer defects in America alone last year, and the same can be said about 2016. I don't think this statement is a fair one.
Man I wish it was more widely available in the US. I've been interested in once since they were first released, but they were never available to test drive in NM when I looked. I know that someone must be selling them because I occasionally see them on the road, maybe I just have bad timing. I finally gave up last month and bought a Bolt because I'm convinced that GM will hit the 200k federal tax credit before the 2018 Leaf is available here. I love my new Bolt, but wish I could have compared with the Leaf first as it is a much more affordable car, and has sufficient range for our purposes.

Old people look old not because of their outdated fashion style but because of their age. Kind of obvious, but we really like to forget that, over and over again (maybe to distract us from our own aging). When isolated from the aging payload and put on fresh bodies (sorry for the cynical wording), time-tested styles work remarkably well. On top of that is a short window where the last generation using a given style has just disappeared from the streets enough to to avoid confusion, but memory of wrinkled faces is still fresh enough to make youthfulness stand out by contrast.
