Because that's not how array initialisation works in C. The specified indices are initialised with the provided values, and the missing elements are always initialised to 0. See for instance section 6.7.9 of the C99 standard. Perhaps you were confused by the common idiom:

> int array[5] = { 0 };

which takes advantage of this missing element initialization behaviour.
>It's also entirely plausible that the SpaceX parts did their job and something the government insisted on using / was sending up didn't work as expected.

The payload adapter was not the SpaceX built hardware SpaceX usually uses, but was built by Northrop Grumman
Spec defines any remaining elements to be initialized to 0.

You can even do sparse initialization if we're talking C99 here, like so:

int array[] = {1, 2, 3, [99] = -1}

And you'll get an array of length 100 {1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, ..., 0, -1}

Any missing initialized element is always 0 if initialization is done at all, though.
I don't think this really raises the Kessler syndrome argument. The bigger question is: what was the FCC so worried about it crashing into and is that object classified?

There have been PocketQube launches which are smaller than these satellites which in theory got licenses.
Nation states might not have a monopoly on the various technologies they gave birth to, but they still have the advantage in terms of budgets and non-profit status.

I work at Datadog.

We have difficult scaling challenges. Efficient storage and querying of high cardinality metric timeseries data, real time, practical data science like anomaly detection (https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/introducing-anomaly-detection...), application performance monitoring for multiple languages and platforms, and now logs too, etc...

We also interesting problems on the frontend. We use webgl to efficiently render thousands of hosts on the hostmap for example.

I was going to say similar about the requirement to provide the purchasers name and address for TV Licensing, but I just searched for details on when it started - certainly we had to do it back in the early '80s, and discovered that it's no longer the case; "this requirement has been lifted by the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill passed in 2013".

If you do this they will just use some other ridiculous name like 'squash'. Instead you need to check for the presence of any other TC39 feature and then if any are present, break if flatten isn't present.

They are using it for very low data rate relay - that's a useful use. Why not let other people try to do clever things instead of stopping them because "in my day satellites were beefy, manly things, not these sissy little wafers". wtf.

the regulation should specify radar reflection specs and let people solve the problem.

Ahem. Single AWS instance does not equal single core.

See my earlier note, it is a bit apples to oranges. Redis is not optimized for throughput on a machine, it is optimized for throughput on a single core. And that property allows lots of interesting things due not having any parallelism.

They are different tools and they have different performance characteristics. My only point was that comparing against Redis is somewhat misguided due to those differing goals.
No, in the United States they're generally passed on to the insured's employer. There are several negative aspects of that, but the big one is that the patient is less likely to complain about being overcharged if someone else is paying for it.

The whole idea of employer-paid insurance in the U.S. is an artifact of some tax law jiggery pokery back in (if I'm remembering right) the Depression/WWII era. Before that people paid for their own health insurance.
I'd be interested to know where you got such a stat? The combining of seatbelt and helmet law lives seem a bit weird. Can't find any exact figures using google, but it looks like in 2016[1] 424 people died not wearing helmets, 137 with helmets and 274 died and it was not recorded if they were wearing a helmet. How to determine how many, if any lives are saved by bicycle helmets is not very clear,[2] especially if one tries to factor in the loss of exercise (and decrease in health) that helmet laws cause.

In such an non-clear cut case, I would suggest letting people decide for themselves, if they want to wear a helmet or not, would be the best option.

I didn’t mean to imply an obvious direct risk (e.g. impeachment or being voted out), but I do assume the judge is not completely uninterested in moving up the federal circuit. Being called out, or having a decision overturned due to impropriety, on a very famous case, may not be necessarily nothing to the judge. Of course it works both ways — a too lenient sentence puts her under scrutiny too. But I think burden of proof is on those who think she is being too harsh when it specifically comes to Shkreli.
Yeah. I usually just use vanilla vi/vim on any servers I remote in on and for small couple line edits locally. Everything else in SublimeText or PyCharm. One reason I moved to emacs in the first place is that vim plugins hardly ever worked well and together.
> I'm sure the Kochs and the Soroses of the world will lament the US not being part of the deal. But theirs is not the opinion that matters

By August 2016, here was the polling among registered voters in the US on TPP:

62% had heard little or nothing about it.

Of those who had heard about it: 35% supported it, 22% opposed it, and 43% did not know where they stood or had no opinion [1].

A few months earlier, it had been 72% had heard little or nothing about it, and of those who had 26% supported it and 29% opposed it [1].

This is quite different from the impression one would get reading the discussion here and on Reddit at the time, where the narrative was that most of the public was opposed to it, but corporations and special interests were trying to force it through.

I never really understood why people had a hard time believing the public might be in favor. When you look at the lists of companies supporting it, you'd see that it included some of the biggest employers in many areas. It should not be surprising that people whose jobs directly depend on those companies doing well would support something that their employer says will open new foreign markets for their American made goods, or let them compete better in existing foreign markets they export to, or will tighten up safety and environmental rules that their foreign competitors who sell in the US are subject to.

I think Bach's scope is much, much larger than most listeners are aware. For instance, most are completely unaware of the Bach cantata repertoire, the guitar/lute repertoire, etc. I don't mean you personally, because I of course do not know what you're familiar with.

(personal bias: I sing professionally, and a fairly large part of what I sing is Bach.)
The Chaconne [1] is the most moving piece of music I've ever heard. (hard stop)

The story behind it makes it even more so. When you grok it at full volume you'll understand what Douglas Adams was talking about.

Any particular reason you think that?

The existence of such a thing as minimum wage, paid vacation, the 40 hr work week and so on were the results of union agitation, not the free market.
Hi, DubiousPusher. If you could tell me some other classical music that you really like, I could probably better suggest particular Bach recordings you might like. I suggest the vocal music, though, for starters.
One user story is that Alice uses Eve's webmail, and Bob uses PGP and mutt on his laptop. Before Eve's webmail supported PGP in JS, Bob had to send his emails to Alice unencrypted (and unsigned), which meant his mail provider could read the plaintext (even if he trusted that mail provider to always require a TLS connection when sending to Eve's servers).

From Alice's point of view, she is just using webmail as she always has, except now she has the assurance that no one (other than Eve) can spoof Bob's identity, and that Bob's mail server isn't reading the messages she sends him (unless Eve is deliberately leaking the plaintext somehow despite sending Bob the encrypted version).

Long term it would be nice if the W3C's SRI standard was extended to allow offline signing of JavaScript files:

https://github.com/w3c/webappsec/issues/449

and for browsers to prompt you whether you wanted to run a new (offline signed, maybe independently audited) version of those files.

Since the lawyer did not seem to be aware of basic procedures (wanting to have things stricken from the record despite there not being a record) you can assume he just did not read up on the rules.

You can only fight a war on so many fronts, better to just ignore the medallions until you have power. Once you do that the medallions matter less anyway.

If they tried to fight head on legally they likely would have lost (since that's probably where the taxi companies are strongest and incentivized to spend all of their money to win at any cost).
Yep, that's the one.

It produces good-quality light, too, despite what you'd think from the yellow shell color.
I guess the first questions have the same answers as: if a boat crashes on another in international waters?

This is why I switched from cleaning spray to chewing tobacco.
I don't like the idea of paying someone else to clean my filth, but I don't clean often enough myself.

So I get really lazy, and soak a sponge in phosphoric acid[1] then rub it gently on the glass around the shower. Leave for 2 minutes, and the limescale in gone! It's much easier than any "real" cleaning product, and the phosphoric acid is the equivalent of about $1.50 for a litre.

But I don't know if it's bad for me. I wear gloves.

[1] "pH 1.0" and "contains phosphoric acid" is all the label says.
Very interesting--thanks for the reply.

I sometimes forget there are problems out there that for all our analytic tools are 'too hard' to give an good (read: short) answer.

I'll have to go properly digging for some papers, though it's been a few years since I had to read differential equations...
Isn't n2yo a predictor where you pass 6 kepler elements for every orbiting object and update every month for drag? In that case, IRSO could have updated those when they released the satellites right?
Unions are as much a part of the free market as business owners and customers.
I'm concerned these motorized vehicles masquerading as bicycles are going to ruin existing cycling/walking infrastructure even more than they already have. In NYC where I live, the ubiquitous delivery man on a motorcycle, err, electric bike is felt on every street, in every other moment. They are hard to spot, and I've narrowly missed being run over on many occasions. They congest bike lanes, make crossing bridges even more treacherous. I'd be curious to see incident reports on these things city wide. As far as I'm concerned they should be treated as every other motorized vehicle, requiring a license and to be driven on streets.
"""We will continue to experiment with things like DOM to texture. It is still difficult to allow web content to be part of a 3D scene."""

This is the most important missing piece, are their bugs for this?

Until we have html/dom textures in vr I just don't see webvr being very successful.

Just like the headset isolates you from the room, the lack of normal web content in vr/mr is very isolating.
Alcohol kills most things very well. I'm a scientist that handles lots of nasty things like MRSA and gram negative organisms that have killed their human hosts and we spray our gloves with 70% ethanol and spray down our biosafety hoods with it as do almost all labs in the world.

This is all moot probably because homes don't need disinfection (hygiene hypothesis implies you probably need the opposite) but alcohol will certainly kill most things. It would be extremely rare for you to need to kill exotic things like bacterial spores that need nuclear options like autoclaving to kill.

In my experience people are pretty forgiving. At first you ascribe it to inexperience, unfamiliarity, etc. Eventually you decide maybe they just need to be coached because they seem otherwise competent. Then you put them on a plan. Then they leave before you drop the hammer. Maybe it doesn't take a full couple of years, but in a big company when you're busy with a lot of projects, it doesn't always move super fast. HR doesn't want us to fire someone because their is some risk and they know how much it costs to find someone new. My manager doesn't want me to fire someone unless they're truly irredeemable because there is no guarantee senior management will say yes to backfilling the position. It all adds up.

I haven't yet run across a valuable team member with a track record of short gigs, but I've run across several people who, in retrospect, clearly were just going from company to company in the area until they were too well known and then fled to another metro.
The article is comparing the [new] underlying architecture of a key-value store, which Redis also is (and one of the fastest). The other features are irrelevant for the comparison. “Anna” is a proof of concept, not a competing product.
Yes, your view of a co-op is too narrow: http://ncba.coop/what-is-a-coop
Just use vinegar from a pharmacy or grocery store, unless you want to needlessly risk your well-being. Acetic acid at typical household vinegar concentrations is plenty strong enough to dissolve limescale.
There has been an ongoing struggle inside the industry to determine which US agency gets to be the "debris" authority when it comes to licensing. From what I understand, NORAD doesn't want be in licensing. The FCC is a poor fit and is over-reaching. Plus the international community doesn't necessarily want America being the authority on what you can and can't launch.

The real answer here, which the FCC just shoved right to the forefront, is that there should be a single international independent body to sign off on a debris analysis on all items placed in space. But then again, no country wants that because they either want the control for themselves or thrive on the gray area.

For the commercial launch industry, they don't want that either because most of them leave their spent rocket bodies up there (which are basically big rusting tanks with unspent fuel vapors). For the big old space, they don't want it either because they would be forced to admit that they have a fiscal responsibility to operate their satellites until they die and that their active-deorbit plans are bullshit.

What shocks me is that neither Spaceflight nor ISRO checked on the license. This is why you have mass dummies (big hunks of metal that approximate the satellite that can be launched in their place).

On top of that, shame on the CEO of Swarm. You could make the argument that she set trust in the industry back by years. She should pack it up. You don't get to ask for forgiveness instead of permission when you're playing in space. It belongs it everyone.
Insurance companies will hate this.
I believe you, but that's just a bizarre situation because a) in a coop do you not just vote on who the management is and how salaries and working conditions are set? And b) your coop needs a union??? Representing the workers against who? We must not have the same definition of coop. Again I'm not saying you're making anything up, that's just quite astonishing.
That's been a contentious point for years. The dominant faction of Tor devs fears that Javascript blocking will confuse and frustrate too many users. In the kindest interpretation, that's to protect the most users, notwithstanding that it will get some users pwned.

Less kindly, one could argue that Tor devs want to increase the anonymity set, in order to better hide US government users. That was, after all, one reason why Tor's initial Navy funders agreed with open release of the software.

There are similar issues around other Tor vulnerabilities. Such as how easy it is for apps to bypass Tor. Which has allowed the FBI's phone-home malware to pwn users.
They are horrible because literally no one in government supported them, nor was there any sane reason behind them.

and to comment on this, I wonder how long it will take before these pods will be completely vandalized. Regular buses with a driver who can boot off unruly people can't prevent the buses from getting trashed so an autonomous pod is going to face some real challenges in that regard. That being said, I'm glad they are prioritizing mass transit even if this is just a PR stunt or what have you.

Unfortunate that all sprays are combined. One reason for the rather large sex effect might be the choice of different products by men and women. If I had to guess, bleach sprays are going to be the most damaging, but that's a guess.
I'm afraid of both.
Eh, the GP did mention provisos like immuno-suppressed individuals. That's perhaps more common than you think.
The reality of the situation is if you are connected, privileged, and drop some gifts or hush money, you won’t face a thing.
Our local cafe recently re-opened as Kallisto; when I first went in, I set up a loyalty card and the owner said 'The system needs a surname, but I discourage using your real personal details.'

"Free market" refers to a currency system and financial system, usually established and managed by the state, which allows the value of goods and services to be set by supply and demand. Unions use strikes to negotiate with management. Not the same thing.
It says that they relocated the 700+ people living there to temporary housing. I'm interested to see where they end up. Cleaning up the area is nice, and a step in the right direction, but if everyone ends up right back on the street then we have really only shifted the problem somewhere else.
Motorists should probably be required to wear a helmet too, by this standard.
So this is what I thought, but if it's enforced as much as needing helmet to ride a bike is enforced, then it's less of an issue.
I can feel extreme sublime elevation from form few pieces of music I'm completely familiar with. One is Bach's Goldberg Variations (Glenn Could's first faster recording is my favorite) and another is "He Loved Him Madly" from Miles Davis (there are few others). In all cases it fist happens after I listen nothing but the same piece over and over again maybe 10-15 times in a period of week.

It's amazing feeling. Something just clicks.

But the experience is different from different pieces of music.
Miles Davis is expressing something based on humanity.
Bach is, like you said, something else that transcends everything.

Ok but one of the 7 cooperative principles in that link is "democratic member control", which is exactly what I'm referring to. If you're going to say, oh well not every employee is a "member", well, I don't think you can make the claim that because Coca Cola has employees that might be stockholders, that that makes it a coop.
Well, that's a really broad question in itself. It is possible in the future some vulnerability will exist in the framework, a security researcher just hasn't discovered it yet. If you're referring to a framework written in C/C++, then yes a buffer overflow is possible. Hopefully though, modern day protections such as ASLR, CFG, CFI, etc. protect you. I'll refer you to an old classic http://insecure.org/stf/smashstack.html, however it is very hard to do this attack today. Modern compilers are pretty good at preventing developers from shooting themselves. <3 clang's memory sanitizer.

Arbitrary execution is more possible IMO. The way a lot of ML models are stored is by being a serialized file using a framework like pickle or Java's serialization. Theoretically, you could add code into a precompiled model that when someone loads would execute arbitrary code. This could be done using a simple technique like a code cave seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_cave. I haven't had time to dig into this myself, but I honestly don't think it would be hard.

I think in the next couple years you will see more vulnerabilities pop up in these frameworks, but finding security vulnerabilities take time.
I feel we are actually pretty close to being able to clean up the space debris. My optimism stems from the lowering cost of getting to space, the availability of light weight space avionics, and vacuum usable adhesives. Small, persistent, delta-v changes can be applied to space junk with lasers and from devices which attach themselves to the junk and lower a tether into the magnetosphere and energize it with a solar cell. Further, on orbit refueling on 'cleaner tugs' becomes more interesting with enough xenon gas stations. NASA did one of their challenges about space junk and it had a number of very creative ideas that were predicated on lower cost access to space.
The current hardware is toy-quality, so most applications are toys. When the hardware gets to pro-quality, the applications are virtually infinite (imagine being able to create any possible experience for any person... having sex with their dead husband, commanding the battle of Thermopylae, Ender’s Game, playing basketball against Michael Jordan, visiting family thousands of miles away, visiting dead family thousands of miles away, business meetings, etc etc)
