What I would love to see, for my day to day use, is a language which borrows the good ideas from array languages and applies them in a 21st century context.[0]

Which I guess pretty much boils down to more powerful operators that work on arrays and can be ranked (and a few other niceties like native complex numbers).

For me J is not much more than a very powerful calculator that I end up never using. And it's a shame because it has great ideas.

[0] I have not used APL or K extensively but I tried learning J about 3 or 4 times in my life and I always leave (and forget) it just because of its obtuse syntax (read: forks, hooks, verb trains and other point-free intricacies) and unmaintainable obsession with terseness (so much that I've been told the correct way of using J is to not be terse at all).
The idea is, miserable though the conditions in a sweatshop may be, they are better than the alternatives the workers face, or else they wouldn't choose to be in the sweatshop. If donating $0 to that country is permissible, then surely doing something that makes things slightly better is at least as permissible.

Also, if the company that runs the sweatshop is in fact making huge profit margins from it (I assume that's one thing "exploitation" implies), and if the company isn't especially unusual, then that suggests there's a lot of room for some other company to set up another factory, offer a slightly higher wage or better conditions to attract workers away from the first one, and still make great profits. If there are no artificial barriers to this, then foreign companies competing for workers may end up really improving matters after a while. Contrariwise, if there are significant risks to setting up more sweatshops—e.g. suffering bad PR, running afoul of new or newly interpreted legislation—then the few sweatshops will tend to remain few and miserable, and be run by companies that are more immune to the above dangers (probably large, with good legal departments and/or political pull, and those that don't depend as much on a good reputation).

This implies that people who manage to cause serious problems for companies by protesting their use of sweatshops are probably making things worse for the workers. It is interesting to reflect on.

And another person in Eu is serving 10 years for weed where it' would be completely legal in part of US. So what's the point of such stupid title...
Bad marketing seems plausible, because I never had any idea what problems it was meant to solve; it always seemed like someone had dreamed up the fancy architecture first and tried to justify it with use cases later.

So are you saying when Ethereum did ICO it was not decentralised? And you do realise this will have its own blockchain and only reason there needs to be a blockchain is "decentralisation".

I'd be very interested in any details of your approach that you could share. I added another comment to this thread with the details of what I've been working on for professional spec documents with markdown and rendering to PDF (testing with CSS now).
I did not down vote. My guess is the mudslinging:

My guess is the student made a small mistake, the teacher took over and made a bigger mistake, and both want to keep their jobs/future carers. Drones make an easy target to lie about and are hated anyway.
Torture violates several points of the hypothetical:

- torture causes permanent physical damage

- torture causes mental trauma

- the torture victim does not know when the torture will stop
My guess is more that MacOS just gets the B or C team, and no-one involved was smart enough or diligent enough to think through the implications of sparsebundles that don't reserve space.
I still don't know why I should be legally barred from offering a service that blocks certain packets. You can buy my service if you like.

I can imagine a service that caters to certain parents who are concerned about the insidious effects of social networking. This service blocks Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Should this be ILLEGAL?

I don't think so.

Application Specific Integrated Circuit, so yes but no.

BTC ASIC chips are relatively simple sha-256 generators, whereas the chip from these MIT researchers is somewhat more complicated and can handle elliptic-curve public-key cryptography.

I was also surprised that this was the part of memo quoted by the NLRB.

There are others that made me frown way more.

The neuroticism quote is not beyond reproach though.

The big five model has been heavily critiqued, it is not exactly an ironclad scientific caution for Damore's argument.
There is a 2016 documentary about this by NHK: https://youtu.be/ke-H5EEqvRs

This is not an official channel, but it's completely gone from their website.
Yes, but the benefit is not from people just using the library.
I felt this but ignored it because I couldn't imagine an earthquake happening here.
That sounds like a failing or faulty SSD. I had this problem on HFS+ on my fairly new 2011 MacBook Air. Downloaded a ton of data, system became unstable and wouldn’t boot after.
Riding a bicycle is far more intuitive, effective, and scalable than installing LineageOS is, which is why it is far more commonplace.
Emk/subtitles-rs: Use SRT subtitle files to study foreign languages
Glittering, but definitely not gold. We used it for 15 minutes, ended up discussed how bad it was then rolled our eye in fake surprise when it was quickly dropped. Subsewuent discussions were about how it embodied the nee software generations. “Let’s do it because we can do it!”

Google Wave? No, Google Edsel, Mk1.
Well I think the reason I like his math book is because it's his typical style on a different topic, so it's a more relaxed read and not something like a hard math book. The first words of the book are something like "Unfortunately this is an introduction you actually have to read" which if you've read much DFW you just kind of settle in right away.

He does mention in the book that the only math classes he had any success with were AP classes. I think it's dedicated to his teacher. But really it makes no attempt to disguise that it's mostly the math angle of his uneasiness with the world and yep I agree with you on the 20 pages a day.
What terrible press for Coinbase. I'd be furious at Visa if I was working there. A suspicious person might even suspect sabotage?
Can this be solved by just wearing a face mask?

Well but that’s 8 euros for chair rental and 1 Euro for the coffee (probably what you’d pay for an espresso to go at the bar)
This is a fairly USA centric view of the world. USA GDP per capita is ~$57k, China's is ~$8k. As the GDP per capita continues to rise in China, lack of access to this market will be an increasing problem for an advertising company. The fact that Tencent's profit is half of Facebook's doesn't mean much when you compare the relative wealth of the markets.
> If you are curious, for example, given Clojure as the Lisp syntax language, Emacs does offer code refactoring and linting as well as structural editing. You can extract functions, auto-complete imports, rename variables, fold code blocks, have syntax errors highlighted, have certain code errors reported on the fly, jump to definition, see source and documentation, find all usage, auto-complete, snippets, auto-format, continuously run tests, debugging with breakpoints, etc.

Basically the stuff Lisp IDEs had in the 70s.
Can I ask where you are? I’d nominate Wellington as somewhere like that - and by my reckoning it is damn good.
>Elliptic-curve cryptography relies on modular arithmetic, meaning that the values of the numbers that figure into the computation are assigned a limit. If the result of some calculation exceeds that limit, it’s divided by the limit, and only the remainder is preserved. The secrecy of the limit helps ensure cryptographic security.

I don't think the limit is secret.
Sim Earth is the one game I've wanted to see a sequel to for years but unfortunately everyone seems to love city sims instead.
“Conclusions: In this large prospective study, a 10% increase in the proportion of ultra-processed foods in the diet was associated with a significant increase of greater than 10% in risks of overall and breast cancer.“

And, here is what highly processed means: “mass produced packaged breads and buns; sweet or savoury packaged snacks; industrialised confectionery and desserts; sodas and sweetened drinks; meat balls, poultry and fish nuggets, and other reconstituted meat products transformed with addition of preservatives other than salt (for example, nitrites); instant noodles and soups; frozen or shelf stable ready meals; and other food products made mostly or entirely from sugar, oils and fats, and other substances not commonly used in culinary preparations such as hydrogenated oils, modified starches, and protein isolates. Industrial processes notably include hydrogenation, hydrolysis, extruding, moulding, reshaping, and pre-processing by frying.”

Is that right? The way I understood it, GPS works like a kind of triangulation, with your distance from the satellites being calculated based on how long the time-stamped signal takes to travel to you. Meaning your device has to keep its own very accurate time in order to be able to compare.

But the phone can get the time from the cell towers.

I may be wrong, this is just a layperson's understanding :)
ReFS was not the default FS on Windows Server 2012, for many reasons, but one being that you cannot boot from it [1].

I think Python's standard library is super underestimated.

I needed to work on zip files the other day and the Python standard lib included a great implementation with high quality documentation. Languages with minimal stdlibs tend to fall flat on the documentation front, and it adds a lot of friction imo.

Though lua being embeddable is very nice, just coming from trying to embed Python and having a bit of frustration at managing it.
Venomous. Poisonous is when you die from eating it (like a pufferfish). Sorry if I come off as pedantic, I just see this very often and think it’s a pretty basic distinction.

So basically.. Mug up everything and hope you have exactly the same thought process as the course instructor.

This is a disgrace.

In any case. Definitions vary from book to book so mugging them up ad verbatim would hardly help.
Yes, with Kubernetes, the patterns used are a little different than if you were to setup TLS and haproxy by hand (I actually use nginx, but it doesn't particularly matter).

You deploy software, that software declares it needs TLS for its endpoint, and certs are obtained.

While moving from one cluster to another, a new deployment of everything was done - about 20 different services - a few minutes work with Kubernetes. However, the fetching of TLS certs stopped working for the very last service!

Yes, I should have migrated the certs, however, the migration was happing due to a failure - I couldn't access the old certs.

I now make sure to backup those secrets rather than rely on re-issuance.

Still, for a usecase like Kubernetes, 20 certs per domain per week is limiting. I do totally understand that the quotas are in place because cert issuance is expensive, but I'd happily pay a yearly subscription fee to LE to cover the costs and help fund them if the option was there!
They plan on finishing it in 2041, more than two decades away. I think this sounds far more like a marketing ploy than an actual building project.
I grasped mathematical concept easily from an early age and I never made an effort to memorize things.

That was sometimes a problem for me, if I picked up something quickly I often found it harder to retain, whereas if I had to work hard to grasp a concept then I would remember it better.
Miners with “black lung” didn’t need a study or scientists to tell them about it.
"Damore was terminated by Google for authoring his anti-diversity memo"

Wrong. Damore was pro diversity.

What he said was Google didn't achieve the wanted diversity, because the methodology is wrong.
> If it's going to be rendered to a screen and printed, better start looking for a job, because that project is going down in flames.

What makes you say that? I'm just finished up my first published book. The entire thing is in LaTex, which is extremely powerful. With conditionals and macros etc. etc.
So I make a print-ready pdf and I'm good to go.

I run the whole thing through pandoc and it spits me out an ePub that's good to go for the eBook version.

Works a treat. I do battle LaTeX some days, but the results are gorgeous.
Curious as well. Seems like it would be a death trap and help spread the fire more.
I think there is something pernicious about Google saying "tell me your opinion", "This is my opinion", "You are fired". In moral or practical sense, that can be a breach of contract.

As far as I know, this memo was published within a space where controversial topics are debated, and was made public by someone else. The person that leaked the memo did actual measurable damage to Google's reputation and PR efforts: were efforts expended to find and fire that person?

Lets not kid ourselves: damore was fired because of public outrage, not because of google policies, or the law, or "because no team would take him".

Good point. Also, almost 100% of the time, the actual musicians get peanuts. Taylor Swifts are 1/10^8.

Out of all the music I listen to on purpose, maybe 20% is popular. I doubt the artists behind the other songs I listen to are multi-millionaires.
I thought this was about a new kind of bignum acceleration, which has been a thing in some embedded systems for more than a decade. NXP had one on an el-cheapo SoC product already back in 2008-2009.

But no, this is apparently a generic ECC acceleration unit. It's still a bignum system but a somewhat more focused one. I would love to see some comparative benchmarks - not only on speed, but also on driver implementation complexity.
Musk has two projects for every area of his interests. One is real and one is publicity stunt. Hyperloop is stunt for boring company (cheap tunnels), Mars is stunt for his rockets (cheap LEO flights), self driving car is stunt for his giga factory (cheap battery). If the stunt never reach it's goal it doesn't matter because real goal was to promote real project.

It's an execution of literary critics and snobs of that era. Read it a few times once you have gotten used to the dialect, and a few things become readily apparent.

Dr Seuss was also very good at poking fun of literary twits.
I would say it works well if you know what you are doing, but in a shared document there is always some dumb ass in the team that does some manual formatting like using the bold-button instead of changing header type, or remove a link from an image. Then the all the references and indexes are beyond repair with the only way to salvage the document is to slowly, meticulously and painfully go through it in this outline-view and try to identify what should be a header and what should not.

If only there was a way to create a Word document that forbids manual formatting it could actually be usable.
He was referring to Damore's supposed right not to be fired as "amorphous".
Just watched a documentary on Netflix about water in California which stated that 80 pct of the water goes subsidized to agriculture which is like 2 percent of the economy. They got into this family, the Resnicks of POM Wonderful and all the shady moves they made to control public water privately which caused this wake of issues including what you wrote about where families either had no water, tainted water or it was crazy expensive. California even bought back it's own water it invested to store in Kern county at a multiple. Insane stuff.

People used to Windows are just like beginners for Linux. It is difficult to empathise with a beginner but there are just too many versions, different for single card, multiple cards, X, gdm, xephyr etc., making it abstruse.
I think we could use a reasonable middleground between the awesome standard libraries of Python and Java and the ocean of tiny packages of Rust and Javascript.

It'd be nice if a package-managed language could import the huge awesome standard library, automatically drop whatever goes unused, and that mechanism worked well enough that everyone but the most restricted embedded programmers were fine with it.
XPath can be used in Xslt, but not the other way round. In Xslt you can create new elements, while in XPath you can't. Seems like a pretty big difference to me. XPath isn't Turing complete either, while Xslt is.

A few ounces of shaped charge at altitude would likely lead to explosive decompression.

At lower altitude, less impact, though it would still be problematic.

Keeping the charge on the target aircraft whilst it climbed to cruising height is likely the hard part.

Pretty sure I was one of the few people that used Wave on an actual collaborative project of dozens of people. It was great, way ahead of its time.

You can still use XPath/Xslt in that scenario, it's just more annoying. Of course it wouldn't be hard to write an Xslt to rewrite the XML so that the keys and values are better connected, so you can query it more easily using XPath.
I wonder if there is a similar effect observed in people who cook regularly - especially at high temps or in poorly ventilated spaces. Cleaning the exterior and filters of the exhaust cabinet makes me wonder about the interiors, of, for instance, apartment dwellers doing wok frying.
Ah, I consider them human with human faults and incentives. One really sad aspect is that a major killer of helicopter pilots is cutting corners on preventative maintenance in order to save money. I feel like we need to be honest on what people are like.
Right which is why you start off by suing Udemy then you get your lawyer to give a legal demand to hand over the course uploader's information. Then you sue the uploader directly for piracy. They are not protected by DMCA.

Then again the uploader is probably a professional pirate who has concealed his identity wisely or they are just a foreign person who isn't even located in the USA.
I've seen far more game engines implement Lua as their scripting language compared to python, so I would hardly say it's 'lost' against python, at least for video games.

You can write markdown and pandoc will leave any latex fragments for the backend. This only works for latex based backends like pdf but it works great if you have some formulas.

What bias did they miss? The study did not find the effect taking place in men.
Cool idea, if not for the quality issues that plague movie & TV subtitles.

Subtitles are often condensed due to space constraints (time to read, space on screen). The number of flat out wrong translations is alarmingly high, even with professional translations. And then there's the all-too-common issue of the translator deciding to take artistic license and completely change what the person is saying, sometimes to the point of weaving an altered story.
The solution is simple: men should do the cleaning.
