This is false. The entire story of the petrodollar is lengthy and involves an understanding of economic arrangements in times past, how they worked, how they collapsed, and the details in between. Rather than try to write this all out here, I think an excellent post that does a very good job of summing up these intricacies is available here: https://www.quora.com/Why-is-oil-priced-and-traded-in-U-S-do...

The fact that oil is settled to this day primarily in USD has everything to do with the US and Saudi Arabia. Understanding this system also helps one appreciate the relevance of very contemporary issues like China attempting to push oil producing nations to settle their contracts in yuan. It's not about the short micro level effects, which would essentially just be a currency conversion, but about the macro level effects and implications of what currency the most in demand import in the world is offered in. If China succeeds with their goal, the economic consequences for the US could not be overstated.
Physical sports are a completely different thing. Games simply don't require the same kind of physical effort and so physiological-enhancements probably won't help.

I don't get it, why does nobody ever mention the bad state of the DOM ecosystem in ReasonML? There is apparently a single way of accessing the DOM with a 3rd party library that is nowhere near finished.
Likewise. The UI is a disaster for any pre-Apple-music iTunes users so I try to go there as rarely as possible. And after years of deleting half my music every time I switch phone or device (intentionally? https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lawsuit-apple-delete... ) I doubt I will ever trust Apple with anything music-related again.
I think so, yes. Also, we have creative control over what we do and that makes the work much more satisfying.

The GP does have a point about how rare this is. It's just not a point that pertains to the original question.
Surely a more intuitive syntax would be:

I agree. Minify once it's released and you can test it quickly once to make sure there's no reference screw-ups, but as part of your development process - don't touch that file. I'd say most web developers follow this process though, I'd be interested to see statistics on minified sources. I'd say at least half of the websites I right-click view-source don't minify.
Another perspective: I am less concerned with music discovery or seamless device hand-offs. I know what I want to listen to. As a former club DJ, I accrued a large amount of records that are simply unavailable via streaming networks. I recently starting ripping a lot of those vinyl records to mp3. I have tried spotify, google play music, and Apple Music. Apple Music is the clear winner when it comes to the importing, tagging, artwork curation workflow. I am really enjoying building my up library from scratch (forgive the pun).

Extended Unit Death. A buffer overflow exploit that massively increased the power of the map editor's "scripting language" (called "triggers" in the map editor). It was called Extended Unit Death because the trigger used was intended for the map maker to specify some sort of action upon a player having a certain number of units die. By overflowing the unit field in this trigger you could read from any memory address and by doing the same to another set of triggers that manipulated the death count you could write to any memory address. It was patched out in 1.13 for obvious reasons, however, you can re-enable EUD functionality with custom launchers to play maps that take advantage of the exploits.

1) Range is 110mi (winter: 80, summer: 130)

2) Acceleration is improved (I smoked a Porche Boxster between 2 very long lights).

3) Sync3 is better, and they support Android Auto/ Apple Carplay.

4) DC Fast charging support = 30m recharge ( we have one at my office) to about 80% from near-zero.

Some things are unchanged / still suck: traction due to it not being 4wd - is the same. Battery position is the same (really unfortunate since it kneecaps the benefit of having a hatchback.

Well the link above pretty much covers comprehensively when unlamination occurs, and I haven't found any discrepancies with the info there yet. In fact, I noticed that it even covers the RMW op case: indeed they still suffer unlamination of 1 of their two fused uops (probably the load/op pair since complex stores aren't unlaminated anymore on Haswell+).

About RMW I wasn't trying to make any point about terminology - just mentioning pointing out that they are special in that they may micro-fuse twice (although it turns out that I was wrong and inc can't do it - but add can), unlike load-op which micro-fuse at most once.

So as it turns out, there is zero extra micro-fusion going on in the "fused" vs "unfused" examples, because of the limitation wrt inc. There is still micro-fusion of the store part, but both examples get that equally.

The implication is that compilers are probably better off using "add [mem], 1" in some cases over inc, since it fuses better. It wouldn't actually fuse better in this case though due to the unlamination - but if you could simplify the addressing mode it would. I wrote a reply on the blog laying this out in more detail but unfortunately Disqus "detected it as spam".

In Python 2.7 prior to 2.7.3, or Python 3 prior to 3.3, iterating a dictionary would -- if it always contained the same set of keys -- be in a consistent order across multiple runs of the same program. This was an implementation detail not to be relied on.

Starting in 2.7.3 and 3.3, the hashing algorithm applied a per-process random salt to certain built-in types, in order to mitigate a potential denial-of-service vector by crafting dictionary keys which cause hash collisions. Unless the PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable was set to a consistent value, iteration over a dictionary was no longer accidentally consistent across runs.

In 3.6, the dictionary implementation was rewritten to drastically improve performance. As a side effect, dictionary iteration became consistent again, this time determined by insertion order. In 3.6, this consistency was an implementation detail and not to be relied on.

Beginning with 3.7, dictionary iteration order is finally guaranteed by the language, independent of implementation, and goes by insertion order.
Actually, 3.7 are not always ordered. If you delete a key, order is not guaranteed anymore. For performance reasons.

What you're on to is that all of the big popular examples of "quantum weirdness" (uncertianty, entanglement, tunneling) emerge from a very small and elegant set of axiomatic postulates. That's the beauty of physics.

One such group of postulates that chemists like to use can be found at http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/notes/quantrev/node20.htm... . You can probably beat the elegance of those if you're willing to step further from what's actually used in calculations, but that's not what chemists like to do.

Here's a better shot at being axiomatic and elegant, but it's a lot less clear (from a lay-perspective) how they relate to reality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac%E2%80%93von_Neumann_axio...

Syntactic support for annotating functions and exposing the annotations existed as of 3.0.

The 'typing' module in the standard library was new as of 3.5.

Syntactic support for annotating variables was new as of 3.6.

Support for delaying resolution of annotations is new in 3.7 with a __future__ import.

Originally the annotation feature was seen as a possible way to add type hints to Python, but other potential uses were envisioned and no immediate preference was given to types over other uses of annotations.

The usual decline into failure in record time.
I totally agree with you here, and have noticed a variety of attempts at rationalization.

My favorite is, "Why do you hate the Internet?!?" Since many things they like are paid through via ads, they see an objection to that as an objection to, e.g., news. I think this argument is dumb in a lot of ways, but the biggest for me is that nobody would have figured another way to pay for anything.

The next is, "Why do you hate freedom (of speech)?!?" This is usually phrased in a pseudo-first-amendment way, but as far as I can tell the real claim is some sort of might-makes-right, the-ends-justify-the-means, the-rich-can-do-as-they-please nonsense. All sorts of speech is actually illegal. E.g., fraud, solicitation of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, unlicensed practice of medicine, etc, etc. Capitalism is swell and all, but turning a profit is not a license to be a dick.

Another big one is along the lines of the Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" People who work in ads or for ad-supported companies can't see themselves as doing anything wrong, ergo manipulating people for money can't be wrong.

And then there's the one I think of as "suffer, Muggles". The logic goes, "I am smart and don't notice my being being manipulated by ads, ergo all the people who are manipulated by ads are dumb and deserve what they get." It's the same shick that you see whenever people get scammed. This ignores that ads and scams are both heavily targeted; that something is obvious just means they were going for another victim.

It all makes me crazy, though. We spend something like a half-trillion dollars annually on mass manipulation. The old justification was that people needed to be informed. That made little sense; the novel informational content of a Coke commercial is approximately zero. But now with the Internet, word of mouth is frictionless, reviews are free, and search is magic. Given that ads also obfuscate and confuse, I suspect their net information content is now negative. Might as well spend that half-trillion dollars on something that matters.

Google Play Music also allows you to upload your own music:

That’s exactly why saying our projects get recognition “just because we’re paying for a degree” is insulting. Getting into these research groups and receiving funding is usually pretty competitive, and we spend a lot of time on these projects while being supervised by experts.

Can you present a proof that hasn’t been created by a sentient entity?

Edit: of course you can, but only in the formal systems sense, which is relativel trivial.

What we think of as “proof” in physics is a combination of “this belief creates predictable experiences” and “this abstraction of belief is logically consistent.”

The first part is subjective - our beliefs about physics create predictable experiences for us, but we have no idea how large the entire domain of possible experiences is.

The second part is a tar pit full of bones, haunted by undefinability theorems.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s_undefinability_th...

So any suggestion that physics efficiently reveals the secret mechanisms of the universe is a conceit. Physics reveals what we’re able to deduce about the universe given the biases built into our experience of sentience.

When weird things fall out of quantum theory, this makes it hard to know if the weirdness is truly out there, or if it’s an artifact of our limited sentience.
OP here. This is straight from the theory book. But from my experience there is a lot more gray area
I'm posting this because I have a Dell (An XPS-L322X w/ Intel® Core™ i7-3537U CPU @ 2.00GHz × 4) and there is no official way from Dell to neuter the Intel Management Engine[0] (Intel ME, or just IME). This is a bit of a shame because Dell does offer a way[1] to disable Intel's insecure ME stuff on a very select range of enterprise configurations but as usual the consumer is out of luck.

I don't think I will ever buy anything with an Intel chip in it again. I can't trust the code they put inside their CPUs. They keep blndering, and I can't tell if it's through incompetence or malice. I don't know why governments around the world aren't pressurizing Intel and the semiconductor industry into fixing the problems that x86 firmware has. Am I being overly paranoid or concerned?

> I feel like the only person on the planet who finds spotify annoying and its library shallow.

I've run into this as well, Apple Music seems to have much wider coverage than Spotify, even when it comes to fairly mainstream 'indie' labels. Both services have big holes in their catalogs, though, and sometimes when deep diving into particular artists or labels, I find YouTube more likely to have rarer albums and such (usually recorded from vinyl by some kind soul).
