They know how the press works though. There's a huge amount of attention being paid to this launch, and journalists will be racing to report it ASAP. If they announce immediately that the centre core has been destroyed, the headlines around the world are going to be "SPACEX LAUNCHES CAR BUT LOSES SPACECRAFT", and the failure, however partial, will be a central plank of the story.

If they delay the core announcement by a couple of hours or so, the headlines are all "SPACEX SENDS CAR TO MARS", with a minor note appended later to say, "A SpaceX spokesperson later confirmed the landing of the spacecraft's central core did not succeed and it has been lost." Like it or not, issues of timing like this makes a big difference to how the exact same events are reported and perceived.
Part of me enjoys it, but a big part of hates that he put a car there. I don't associate cars with anything good, only bad.
Yeah, until a few years ago when they started doing things like

- Automatically upgrading devices to Win10

- Announce that they will keep adding upgrades to win10 instead of creating new releases

- Office 365

- Require win10 to develop for windows phone 10

and important software companies like adobe/autodesk moving to subscription model isn't gonna help.

As a counterpoint. My first generation iPad released in 2010 can still be used to watch Netflix, Hulu, Plex, and a few other services.

Spotify works as does iBooks, Google Drive (reading PDFs), Mail, Calendar, etc.

I reset it last year and redownloaded old versions of all the third party apps mentioned above.

Now Safari on the other hand, crashes constantly.

I do have the newest non-Pro iPad and of course it performs better.
I'm still using the PC I built in 2008. I've had to replace a few things, but not much. I can still browse the web. I run the latest packages in my linux distro. I can still work with all my old files. The apps I rely on are mature, well supported, and won't be going away any time soon. And in 10 years I'm betting it will still run. I might have to replace a component or two. I might have to give up web browsing, if sites keep getting fatter and fatter. But it'll still run, and I could find a use for it.
Nor will it be low-latency.
Like a ballet.
I think you're wrong there.
Seriously, I was in awe, it looked so futuristic. The future is here now. It's crazy what we humans are capable of in this year 2018.

True.
Nope, farm country. And as with all things political, it is way more complex and not so binary, but that said, the whole point of this thread is around the Twin Cities and who they've elected... so I agree.
What everybody seems to miss (including in the other comments here) is the fact that no kind of hackery with destructors will ever make them equivalent to scope(exit) or finally{}, because of the simple reason that destructors invoked via exceptions can't throw their own exceptions. And this makes sense, because destructors are meant to release resources, whereas finally/scope(exit) are meant to execute after prior operations in a LIFO manner. Not all operations that need to occur in a LIFO manner are inherently tied to resource acquisition. More fundamentally, one is inherently about data, and the other is inherently about control-flow... simply put, they're different tools with different use cases, even though people don't bother to make the distinction. Nevertheless, if people insist on using the same hammer for both nails, the language needs to address this fundamental issue before people can claim it's possible to do scope(exit) or the equivalent in C++.
Why secret?
Yes, for each launch they tend to do "Hosted" and "Technical".
The job pool will shrink though as the appliances start to report early maintenance issues. Thus the demand for skill intensive repairs will fall. Therefore the job will be less valued due to competition from almost unskilled labour driving wages down.

The temporary lack only pertains too skilled technicians and nor people who can install and uninstall a ready made module.
Yes god forbid anyone ever need to learn something new to do something different.

The web has a lot of great advantages for sure, but native applications have advantages and can do things that are unwieldy and inefficient via the web.

You’ve got to launch something. I’m sure you could launch an equally heavy concrete block to prove you can but... what’s the fun in that?

Unfortunatelly PyQt does not solve the problem of Javascript engineers who are not willing to learn a new programming language.

That's the whole reason for the whole Javascript fadigue. Computer Science has had "had tools for the right jobs" for years, but now we have a large developer base that only knows Javascript and think it's some kind of holy grail of computing. Happened before with Java. Happened before with PHP. It will happen again.

It even happened in Python, too. I personally attribute a whole generation of failure for the Linux Desktop to the "Python for Desktop" frenzy of the Gnome 2/KDE 4 times. I remember I had a dual-boot Pentium 4 box, and while Windows apps were always slick and responsive, Linux always felt sluggish and unresponsive, until I found C/C++ alternatives to all the apps I used.

Apple still makes an older version of iTunes available.
Do fractal tree indexes lend themselves to copy-on-write designs? (B-trees do.)

You have to be careful with who you use as references these days. But honestly I'm not sure why they are still a thing anymore. Most professionals give stock responses, ie yes/no that the person worked there, and are forbidden by HR to give much useful information.
You can do the same thing with no C++11 features other than C99 variadic macros. (IMO cleaner, too).

That's a killer UI, and I'm happy to admit it's incredibly good for what I've seen/used of Qt apps over the years... but it's not the norm. I would honestly pay money to see how much effort it took to get it to this.

There's also the point I forgot to mention in my original post, which is that... if your entire app starts as a webapp, there's no sense in maintaining an entire separate Qt codebase when you could just wrap it. Standalone products like this (embedded, etc) might have an easier time justifying it, but I really don't think it hits the ease of use metric (not even touching on the fact that you then need to handle product changes across multiple codebases/teams - money doesn't absolve your, your team or your company of the inherent difficulty here).

Also, hell, the simple act of refactoring native level UI code is often more of a PITA than the HTML/CSS/JS counterpart. Native APIs need to make themselves more accessible and sexy if they want to have a chance here.

Alsoooo to just end this rant of mine, I'll point out that the OP's project shouldn't charge money for this. It's not that they're not allowed to or anything like that, but you're in no way making PyQT a viable Electron alternative if you require licensing. There's little money in building UI frameworks for this reason; the web kind of requires you to compete on free to use. There are people (regardless of your take on the matter) that don't use Qt for licensing reasons and that is a hard blocker.
I keep getting redirected to https://www.vice.com/en_au whenever I click on this link.

Looking on the en/AU variation of the site, I can't seem to find the article.

Does Vice seem to think Australians shouldn't have access to this article? Or is geofencing dumb, outdated and broken? I'm leaning towards the latter.
That's assuming you expect cost to scale linearly, which isn't obvious to me?
I have done the adjunct thing, to spiff up my resume. My wife did it first because a friend asked for help and then because she enjoyed it. It is a wonderful thing to pass along useful knowledge, but honestly I don't see how anyone can make a good living--not in the Bay Area, not in Iowa--as an adjunct. I have known at least one person who managed to break out of the four classes at three schools thing and get a tenure-track job. The odds aren't good, though.

If I were a career counselor for Mr. Nguyen, I would suggest a job teaching high school history for money, and the occasional adjunct class for love. Mr. Balukjian's case is harder, in that he has a Ph.D., which in principle could qualify him for a tenure-track job; possibly a high school job could look bad on his resume.

They have my sympathy.

I got confused at the electric vegetable peeler, I've never seen such a thing, how often do you need to peel vegetables ?
There are people who avoid meat/dairy for their own benefit. Because they have allergies to it, or have heard eating meat is unhealthy etc.

There are others who avoid them for the animals' benefit, to avoid animal suffering. Because there is no rationale for treating humans' lives as of infinite value, and animals as mere meat machines, fish as just 'stock' for humans etc—except that we are humans and they're not. That naturally extends to avoiding use of other animal 'products' besides food.

Racism and slavery are other phenomena in which an 'out-group' is treated as not worthy of ethical consideration, as not really mattering, just because they're defined as 'not us'. In these situations, there's a similar difference of opinion in just who the life forms whose lives and suffering matter in the situation are. And if you're brought up in a racist or slave-owning tradition, you (at best) resent the hell out of anyone suggesting you that you are unethical, inconsiderate for being that way. How dare they! Who do they think they are, thinking they're better than me! etc.

It will one day seem very odd that nowadays if you abuse and kill a dog or cat you can go to jail; abuse and kill a million chickens or cows and you can be a millionaire.

To return to the point, I've come across both ethical vegetarians and dietary vegetarians (to perhaps coin phrases); some tried going vegan but it didn't work for them; some think avoiding meat is doing enough, it being quite hard to avoid all dairy when eating out. But there are many variations. A lot of people seem to avoid meat, but not fish, even calling themselves vegetarian. I'm kind of 'lazy vegan', I try to never eat/use/buy animal products, without going nuts about it—always trying to ascertain that what I eat from cafes or friends is totally vegan would be a huge pain, for myself and others.
The ongoing debate between moderates and the far right in Israel is an extreme example of this control issue. The 'Rook' mentioned in the link is built on a caterpillar chassis, as is the case with the armored devices Israel uses to destroy Palestinian homes and schools.

Surely natural disasters and helping people comes first not, as an afterthought....

> Or because they really don't see any new value.

Value is a misnomer. There's no inherent value in 90% of the stuff that blows up. What's the "value" in Facebook? It's even hard to see today, think about how hard it was to see in 2006.

"Value" is the same nonsense idea as "solving a problem" that startup wantapreneurs are so obsessed with -- what problem did Snapchat really solve? What problem did FB solve that Myspace didn't? What problem did Google solve that Yahoo didn't?

Sometimes it's just about being different (Pinterest), being controversial (Snapchat), being novel (AirBnB), and having fun (reddit). Sometimes it's about cleaning up UX (Facebook), or making things just a bit easier to find (Google). But above all, it's about the right place, right time, and right execution. Fortune favors the bold.

I agree this is a critical feature that Elo ratings omit. Elo ratings are transitive, i.e. if I know the probability that A beats B and the probability that B beats C, then I know the probability that A beats C. It's almost certainly the case that non-linear "rock-paper-scissors" effects exist in professional sports.

The tricky bit is trying to estimate these effects with a finite number of samples or observations. Elo thrives on limited data.
I don't use it myself, but all day I've heard nothing but complaints over the new version that apparently came out today.
This is partially alleviated by the fact that you can't downvote until you reach a certain karma threshold.
I wouldn't find it creepy at all, though obviously depends on the exact context. I admire people who change their minds and who follow up to tie off loose threads. Others might feel differently, but I'd encourage you to reach out if you're considering it. Generally I think reaching out to others is worthwhile. And just doing it usually takes less time than pondering whether you should do it or not.
Snap users and advertisers have responded very positively to the clear division between user generated content and advertising. If you are not a Snap user, or if you haven't used it in awhile, I encourage you to check it out.

Snap advertisers are mostly lifestyle brands that want to engage with their users in a new way. Tacobell isn't advertising on Snap, but Popular Mechanics is. When a user clicks on Popular Mechanics they have confidence it's because a user wants to engage with them, and Popular Mechanics hopes this closer relationship has benefits outside of the Snapchat app. A user choosing to give you their attention is a _very_ valuable thing. Most other social media advertisements are missing this part.

Water turned out to be the most common adulterant in milk. It reduces the nutritional value of milk."
Both of these things are true, and an argument for options.

Eh, it was all booked in 2017. But almost $2 billion of this loss actually accrued over many years as stock options compensation.
Some places do "blind" reference checks, where they contact people you've worked with themselves (through Linkedin or similar.) The idea being that the references you provide are likely to be more positive than representative.
Yes, that's the problem. Web apps are never going to have the level of system integration that you'd expect with a native desktop app. Why install a 'native app' that offers you the subpar web experience when you could just open it in your browser?
> It can simplify peoples lives but does it improve?

Here are some things that have been improved for me:

- being able to set my thermostat to vacation mode while at the æroport (via an Internet-connected thermostat)

- easily playing TV & music (via Chromecasts)

Neither of those is nothing, and I'm really glad for the ability.
I didn't know about this, thanks. In the paper (long read I know), I use a modified quantile-quantile test to demonstrate that my predicted uncertainties are accurate.

> ten percent more at retail. Not shocking.

A ten percent increase across an entire grocery bill might be more noticeable though. Likewise with the cost of eating at a restaurant if all workers are paid more (i.e. the $15/hour movement).

Personally I am not opposed to paying the actual costs instead using immigration and government subsidies of crops like soybeans and corn to lower the costs for some farmers.
I think we agree that FRP-ish is the way of most of the future, but it must integrate well into the existing ecosystem. Which basically means no "projection into the future" and no "fast-forward". I think side effects are unavoidable for all practical purposes -- the trick is how to integrate them cleanly, if that's even possible. Even being able to trace backward would be a huge achievement for most of the programming world. To be clear, it's about 80% achievable right now by just programming your whole application in the FRP style until you reach the "transactional" or "IO" boundary.... Btw, it's not a coincidence that this sounds similar to CQRS/Event Sourcing and Bounded Contexts from DDD. I think CQRS/ES approach has an advantage in that it "realizes" that there's such a thing as "oops, I wrongly charged customer X for item Y, let's refund that". Plus, it's it's basically what we do in the real world, e.g. in banking.

It's obviously not enough to be able to "project into the future", but it's pretty awesome for looking at what happened. It's also a great way to maintain discipline for your code -- we're already off on a wild tangent here, so I won't elaborate.

> I'm curious though, why you suggest for a language to work like this you have to abandon Turing Completeness

You don't necessarily have to, as long as you a) assume complete purity (as in e.g. Haskell's ST monad), and b) are resigned to having to actually run all the computations when running "forward".

Keep in mind that some of those computations may be EXPTIME... but as long as you can interrupt them, then I suppose that's OK.

I think the conclusion is that anything TC that doesn't do side-effects would basically be OK (as in: not actively wrong), but not necessarily practical in our lifetime. Timeouts might work here, actually.
I first read that as 2.3 millimeter people... who busted out the shrink ray?
Yes, you can block it by installing the TVOS 11 public beta profile on your phone or ipad. I had to do this with a broken iphone 6 which would literally be bricked by an update due to a baseband fault. Works perfectly, the kids can play games on it without the risk of updating it by mistake.

It is ridiculous that there isn't a setting to disable update nagging though!
WP was itself released a little after PHP acquired classes; before that PHP was purely procedural. However, WP was a fork of an older project, and they kept things procedural in order to maintain backwards compatibility with the previous project. One cannot fault them for that decision in that context. However, apparently we are stuck with the consequences for the foreseeable future. On that basis, I wish that Google were not investing any further time and effort into what I sincerely hope can be described as the last popular procedural codebase in existence.
Unless adapt means squeeze your own workers better and more efficiently.

The adaptation here is not to switch or become the slave master yourself. It is to resist and fight the problematic system of exploitation in all available alternative ways.

The "job" system is enforced at as low level as getting or not credit based on whether you get paid regularly or by whom.
It is enforced by preferential rated for insurance and taxes for employers. Etc.

Unfortunately the solution, which is organized resistance to these ideas, is easy to pervert or bribe away.

It's not crazy to expect a UI toolkit website (even if it's just the bindings...) to have a better presence/pitch to make the sell. UI toolkits are built on how good they look and what they enable you to do, and the last thing PyQt should be doing is forcing people to check out a very marketing-heavy Qt main page.
