Believe me I tried, it doesn't work in my specific case because the account was initialised via Facebook. They gotta make a new account and copy over my old data. That works, and the Spotify helpdesk is excellent.

Problem is, I use Premium via a voucher from my ISP. My ISP no longer gives these vouchers, and its claimed. So for a new account, I cannot get Premium for "free".

I should feel lucky my ISP hasn't disabled the existing vouchers (the main branch of the ISP did).
My screen time was somewhat limited as a child, but to probably an hour or two a day (that is, by the time I was 9 or 10 and knew how to navigate DOS on my own). Games made me learn how to configure the computer. My first programming book was a book of late-70s BASIC games for microcomputers (which I used on my early 90s DOS machine).

I only ever did some light modding, but when I had a chance to take some programming classes in high school, you'd better believe that games were on my radar. Writing emulators is still a hobby of mine.

My parents monitored what I did, like I do with my kid now, and there are the "mysterious" times when the TV stops working (couple hours? OK. All day? No.) So I suppose that my wife and I are taking a kind of hybrid approach: Give kiddo the chance to be familiar with the technology around us, but regulate the time so that an obsession in the wrong direction never develops.
I don't understand your question.

Because they've been unsuccessful in completing the reboot, releasing the sources is a way of apologizing.

Since the instructions mention a PPC requirement to build on Mac, I'm assuming these are fairly old.
Tuna is a staple of Tunisian street food, so you'll find a variety of different types of tuna sandwiches.

If you are looking for a standard Tunisian sandwich, I asked my wife and she said this one looks good: https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Tunisian-Tuna-Sandwic....

Fricassee is another tasty Tunisian tuna-based sandwich, but it requires that you also prepare the bread: http://www.afooda.com/tunisian-fricassee-fricasse-roll/

Why do you think the Foxconn suicide figures don't include all suicide attempts by employees?

Note that one of the attempts catalogued on Wikipedia states that one Mr. 刘 "threw himself from the sixth floor of a dormitory building". That would tend to imply that the statistics cover the workers while they're on or off the job -- the statistics are for suicide attempts on campus, but the employees live on campus.

And that would tend to imply that the appropriate comparison is indeed "how many people commit suicide anywhere?", not "how many people commit suicide in the office?".

If the cause were incompetence (unintentional), is that an accident? I don't think so.

The word "accident" to me and many people seems to imply little or nothing could have been done to prevent the tragedy, not whether it was unintentional.

I don't understand, you said you wouldn't use Instacart, but do you see them surviving?
List of Supported Banks – Plaid API (Pastebin)
There's some confusion about what "stationary" means. I was using the external reference frame. So I called road signs etc stationary. But in the vehicle's reference frame, road signs etc have closing velocity.

Vehicles in front moving at the same speed aren't stationary in the external reference frame. They're stationary in the vehicle's reference frame. If one stops, though, it becomes stationary in the external reference frame, and has closing velocity in the vehicle's reference frame.

Sorry to be pedantic.

Not the author of the dead post, and definitely not a fan of the alt-right, but the term globalism immediately resonated with me when I first heard it:

> What's the end game, for people that believe these things? Endless culture war? A galaxy-spanning human civilization that still has their "I'm an American and you're Chinese" safe little lines?

If we didn't have several superpowers on this planet, but only one unified government instead, what would whistleblowers do? Right now Snowden can fly to Russia, and Chinese dissidents can voice their opinions in the West. In a truly globalized world, there'd be nowhere to run.

We try to maximize competition and avoid monopolies and cartels in our economy. Why should we aim straight for the opposite when it comes to our governments?
To me this looks like investors are wanting Instacart to bulk up in preparation for competition [1] from Amazon

If you try to write a file backing an executable mapping you get ETXTBSY (or not, if it's NFS/some other broken FS). So what everyone is doing is unlink the old file and create a new one. Unlinking preserves open file descriptors, extending to mappings.

Note that often the actual backing files are disjunct anyway and only symlinks get replaced, due to versioned .so names (as in libfoo.so.2.4.5, libfoo.so.2.4@, libfoo.so.2@, libfoo.so@, you've all seen it).

That exists, just not in 100% automated form.

I'll agree that packaging desktop apps is still annoying, but traditionally the packaging experience is handled elsewhere in your stack. I'm not sure that expecting a widget API to provide lifecycle management is the wisest choice...

Electron is a full stack, yes, but GTK slots into any number of stacks. Not my area but putting together a build script that outputs different formats (for an app that just requires some file copying for install) can't be that bad. Python in particular has lots of options for cross-platform packaging and distribution. (py2exe, etc)
And what's worse with systems like Tesla's autopilot, you don't have very much 2D resolution.

No I’d say a better analogy for what you’re trying to say:

I just want to buy a car for $20k that goes 70 miles an hour. But you’re only selling me cars for $50k cuz you insist on putting things like carbon fiber brakes and titanium alloys. I don’t need any of that. I can build something that perfectly meets my needs for way less. Because those enhancements are meaningless for what I’m trying to do (go 70 MPH)
It's a bit of both. I think the joke was mostly driven by Emacs which - due to how incredibly flexible the Elisp interpret is - started gaining plugins to do the most absurd things. There is, for example, a full "web browser" mode, a full-blown email client, even an implementation of the Snake game.
In no particular order, their solution doesn't seem to deal with:

- It doesn't account for the arbitrage types that seem to bother people the most: cross-exchange arb, locality arb, regnms arb or payment for order flow.

- If the discrete time chunks are very short, it doesn't seem to solve latency arb much.

- If the discrete time chunks are very long, it defaults to pro-rata matching. We have pro-rata products already, they are not kind to the little guy.

- Most of the really weird edge cases in exchanges happen due to so called 'exotic' order types, which are really just ways to get the exchange to atomically do something for you. In the discrete auction world I'd imagine you'd have more need for complex instructions not less.

Finally, I think that the problem they are attempting to solve is fairly low priority to solve. We are operating in the lowest cost trading environment of all time. It could hardly be more fair when it comes to order execution. To throw all that out seems dumb, when there are much bigger fish to fry (such as our government bailing out one set of traders but not others).
This may be dated info, but IEX (exchange) purposely ran longer than necessary fiber to slow down the speed of automated trading.
"Corporations are made up of a ton of people, there's no one person you can lay blame on. Some guy fucks up and costs a firm half a bil with a computer error, that's not something you want to just allow to happen."

That's exactly how the big corporations hold the whole country hostage. When they do things well they get to keep all the profits and distribute them but when things go bad it's suddenly nobody's fault and the rules have to be changed. Since 2008 I am of the strong opinion that if someone in a corporation makes a big mistake we should let them go under without hesitation. Otherwise they can always blackmail us into being bailed out or working under a different set of rules if they make a mistake.
Yeah, that's just being dramatic too.

A tremendous amount of things in the past were created by skilled artisans, workers, farmers etc.

And in those cases where people had to do difficult work and suffered, that was because there were no other ways of accomplishing that work.

It's not that there was some cabal of evil leaders making life hard for the masses, it's that in order to accomplish things like mining and large scale public works without machines, hard manual labor was necessary.

Of course we could have just not done any of this, but then we would still be hunter gatherers.

I doubt that it would.

But seriously, name "autopilot" aside, it's intended for divided highways. With high-quality road markings. And no stop lights.

And to be fair, airplane autopilots handle flying and landing. They don't handle driving between runways and gates.
They are forced to comply at that point - they've had 2 years to get ready.

It's going to be very interesting to see what happens. Actual compliance I strongly suspect is going to depend on whether they enforce it - and actually levy a fine of 4% of total annual revenue against a significant company.

Apropos nothing, I remember reading an article a few years ago about how Facebook was using blue ray disks for long term storage.

Now if I was responsible for this thing, I would wait 6 months or so, and then tell all the Data Protection Authorities that their bonuses were directly linked to revenue from enforcement ... and sit back and watch the fun.

Housing could already be in a bubble in some places. It's far beyond what's reasonable vs. median income and is reportedly being propped up by a huge amount of foreign cash making cash purchases.

A lot of commentators I've read say we're not in a bubble because these are cash purchases, but this assumes there's an infinite supply of this cash. If/when the cash influx stops the present prices may not be sustainable. I doubt it would be as hard a landing as 2008 but you could definitely see a correction.
I said I would probably not use Instacart in one set of circumstances, but probably would in another. Especially if the perceived value was higher.
To me that was the surprising part about the SE: they actually used the same CPU and camera as in the premium model (6s). Other parts like the TouchID sensor and selfie cam are lower spec, but on the whole it doesn't seem like an artificially limited product to me.

Hey, question for you, admittedly slightly tangential.

I've been a dev for a few user facing products that stored customer created content and offered account deletion. These sites weren't specifically social, and I always thought offering a "we don't hard delete for N days" (with reasonably short N) was a user friendly option, in case of accidental deletion or realizing recovery of certain assets was needed. Would you have an issue with this if the rest of the process wasn't dark-patterened? (e.g. if it was a clear single button "Delete account, type account name to confirm, OK, your stuff is going to be hard gone in a week")

I'm curious as to where that line would be for you, since I usually consider well towards the "make options blatantly transparent and easy to use" and to the "allow users control of their account" side of things.
How Your Social Class Affects Where You'll Move
I think this is better stated as "consumer behavior does not always map to MY logic". Paying for Instacart is a logical decision for some people (or at least they think it's a logical decision). I would never be a customer but that doesn't inherently mean it's a bad business or people that are customers aren't being logical.

I don’t think they took the money and ran at all, and it’s unfair to say so.

I think anyone who backs a Kickstarter without accepting the risk is really of questionable wisdom..... there is now years of evidence that kickstarters fail through lack of skill/competence/experience. Failure does not equate to fraud.

A Kickstarter outcome is NOT a guarantee, so when it fails, shrug and move on rather than behaving entitled and angry. And if you’re capable only of being angry about failed Kickstarter outcomes, we’ll just don’t back risky ventures that may lose money.

I think it’s because data science has a more immediate, broader applicability than computer science. Not everybody needs to know how to program a full application; but they should be able to load in a dataset and statistically analyze it. Looking at the type of people taking Data 8 compared to CS61A (the introductory programming course), I would say the former is a fairly diverse crowd (political science majors, economics majors, biology majors, etc.)

It is also a possibility that Data Science is an easier topic to learn than Computer Science, and thus more popular.

There's a lot of value in your posts. Mathematizing problems, when successful, brings elegant solutions with well understood properties. Hence, I don't understand the downvotes you are usually getting.

I've wanted something along these lines for a long time as well. I have trouble drawing hard lines and distinctions (this is pervasive; things like having a "favorite" anything, or the desire to debate what genres a song or movie fall into, are rather alien to me). This makes picking "one" place for something difficult. Because these are fine/fuzzy distinctions for me, it's also tricky to reason my way back to where I would have put something.

The biggest directory in my document hierarchy is "flotsam".

I think part of the problem is that organizational tactics/schema/heuristics aren't global. We need an array of safe, high-quality tools with good system support/interfaces, and the knowledge to reason about how and when to use which. Patterns.

A stack is probably a fine way to think about organizing mail or clothes. It's probably less useful for deciding where furniture or paintings should go. A filesystem that made sense for organizing source code is probably not the best tool for organizing a movie collection or a lifetime of personal documents. Genre apparently seems like a great way to organize most of the world's movie, book, and music store/sections, but I (unless I can get someone to check the store's inventory system) never know whether what I'm looking for is out of stock or just hiding in the taxonomical hinterlands.

Search can help. Tags can help. Hierarchy can help. Metadata can help.
I had an Impossible Burger that was cooked like a smash burger, and it was excellent (9 out of 10). I'm not confident that I could tell the difference with an actual beef patty in a blind taste test. They nailed the texture, the flavor, the juicyness, everything.

I know this is different than what many of the other commenters are voicing. My best guess is that the differences in preparation will make or break its similarity to beef. I am a former competitive BBQ judge, so I am no stranger to tasting meats.
