You still need to get function pointers using GetProcAddress or by searching for them after LoadLibrary within dll exports table (this is the idea with hashes). The third option is to leave it to the PE loader, but this is burning space in PE import table.
I was once involved with a software project, actually the DOS version of Lotus 1-2-3 2.4J, which bundled some Japanese fonts that were licensed from a Taiwanese font maker. The QA manager told one of the staff to print out every character and check them. I thought it was crazy but the junior guy came back a few weeks later with a list of mistakes that he had found. They were reported to the maker and a new updated version was received. This was at the end of the era when software was distributed on physical media (CDs in this case) and providing updates was a costly business.
I always found the Korean Hangul to be quite fascinating.

Although, I must admit, I continue to find the Chinese writing system to be quite beautiful. It's like I'm looking at a strange advanced alien script every time I see it. So, I hope that it never dies. This writing style is a treasure. It is a gift to humanity, to human history, and to human culture. We need to preserve it any way that we can.

I hope that one day, an advanced brain-computer-interface technology will allow us to just download a language package into our brains, and we can get instant Chinese comprehension in just 60 seconds. You can get zapped, and go: "I know Chinese." Or rather: "Wo dong zhongwen."

Wow! Thanks for the detailed answer. You introduced a lot of issues I hadn’t thought of, and your last paragraph gave me some ideas.

Also...generally speaking, what does this type of information sell to hedge funds for? For something like the Tesla information for example? I would assume it's probably not millions, but somewhere in the 5-6 figures?
Is it just me, or does the font-size of the main body of the article enlarge automatically, quickly, and slightly terrifyingly, until the screen is some very long story on a black background seemingly completely unrelated to football? I may be missing the point.

Exactly! The peer-to-peer file sharing services prove that we can have nice things and not pay for them too.

Windows 10 is still not a good option for embedded x86 systems even in its proper supported embedded mode. Once I've replaced the shell, turned off all the services and junk programs and opened the one port on the firewall my industrial touchscreen application requires I would really rather windows take the hint not to change anything and leave things be.

I have been keeping an eye on Reactos for over 10 years, it is still a promising candidate for my legacy systems, USB Install would still be good to have as it is painfully hard to get it on to newer systems which don't have Optical drives.

It took me a while but I can now compile my gui applications for Linux, so going forward that is my strategy, but lots of factories out there still scared to move off windows XP and Reactos would be ideal.
We built such a platform. Our company already has mass adoption.

There are various ways to get it. I would say viral expansion is the best way.

"where no hardware can be fully utilized by (or even make calls with) an open-source OS."

Blame hardware manufacturers for this. If they released open specs (not even the drivers sources, just the specs would suffice) of their devices we could have full alternative OS installations in months after each device release, giving new life to old devices and much higher security to newer ones.

When the stock units vest (or are exercised in the case of options), you are taxed on their current value at the regular income tax rates. What would be taxed at the long term capital gains rate are any gains that happen _after_ the stock is in your possession. The former component is likely the one that will dominate within the timespan of a year.
Hear hear. When I'm on a computer I usually go to Google because if I go to OSM and type in a nearby major road, it gives me a list of addresses. And the one I want is probably thirtieth on the list and has a form that is obscure. If you can't search for street names in OSM, it shouln't let me try. Instead of giving me useless results, it should direct me to how I can obtain useful results.

"Commercial Road" - no relevant results in two pages.

"Commercial Road malvern" - no results at all. It turns out in Malvern, Commercial Rd is called Malvern Rd. It seems cruel that OSM requires me to tell it exactly what I'm searching for and to get it right. Giving related information to help the search doesn't help it find the location.

"Sydney Road" - no relevant results.

"Sydney Road brunswick" - finally, the first result is listed as "Sydney Road, Brunswick, City of Moreland, Greater Melbourne, Victoria, 3052, Australia", but it's death by too much information. (a) It's buried in a list of very similar results and I can't quite be sure the one I got is the one I want - this becomes a bigger problem with a minor street. (b) who cares that it's in the city of Moreland? If you're going to list the local administrative district name, why not also the state electoral division? Address are place names, and "City of Moreland" simply isn't a place name. It's the name of the territory controlled by the Moreland City Council, but it's not a placename. Combining (a) and (b), take a look at "Sydney Road, Sparta Place, Brunswick, City of Moreland, Greater Melbourne, Victoria, 3039, Australia". What's that even supposed to mean? I cry.

Google suffers the problem in the opposite way, normalising addresses to the most obscure and ambiguous form they could find, preferring road numbers to names, and using "Melbourne" instead of the suburb name. But at least it finds the place I'm after. OSM is barely useable. Not for want of data, but because it just doesn't care to tell me how to find what I'm looking for. It's exhausting. OSM is useless for practical purposes. I want to use it for a variety of reasons, but I can't.

Caveat: My knowledge of Norwegian is approximately the level you would achieve with 5 hours of searching on the internet after being exposed to the Ylvisåker brothers and an armchair amateur's knowledge of Old English.

The whole story of how the various Scandinavian languages developed is actually quite interesting and has a lot of similarities to the situation among the different languages/dialects of Chinese. In particular similar questions of mutually intelligibility come up.

However, as I understand it, Bokmål in this particular case is not quite the same. It historically came from Danish, but now is a written standard for Norwegian that competes with Nynorsk (which is in itself a fascinating phenomenon; not many other languages have competing written standards). It's not really a current embedding of Danish into Norwegian so much as it is a written standard for Norwegian that historically developed from Danish.

- Simplicity, centralized system are simple to manage and well understood
- Cheaper, owning a centralized db is a lot cheaper than paying gas/fees on decentralized platforms.
- More human, forget your password? made an error? it's reversible.
- Reputation, centralized systems have built up reputation for being trustworthy and reliable for consumers (ex. the fed), the scandals that plague ICOs/exchanges and volatility are obviously bad.

There's plenty of theoretical arguments to be made against the above points, but in practice today, I think they're valid.

Haha! The IPA is great because it has support for many languages, and is a recommended tool for students learning English in Taiwan. If computer keyboards used IPA instead of ASCII, I think we'd all be using it by now. But typing is pushing everything towards ASCII (not even Latin because of the lack of diacritics on US/UK/ZH-TW keyboards).

I made a Pingtype English for language exchange the other way, and that uses IPA instead of Pinyin. I often find that users prefer ㄅㄆㄇㄈ though (which I derive from IPA).

OK, we'll change back to the text post but keep the title from the original talk. Maybe that will satisfy everybody...
Those used to tell online everything about their life down to the details could even consider it a service.
"Natural" perhaps. "Not really possible to prevent" is something like a steelmanned version of it; maybe something like an artificial heart could keep people alive, but maybe such people's bodies are usually worn down enough that the best medicine in the world couldn't keep 90% of them alive for 5 more years.

This brings me to the question: What are the data on deaths in certain age brackets? If, say, media coverage was proportional to the number of people under 18 or under 25 who died, or perhaps some sum of "f(age(person))" where e.g. f(under 18) = 1, f(18-25) = 0.9, f(65+) = 0.01... then that would be a very striking result. (I guess if the smallest weight is 0.01, then no disparities exceeding 100x, such as the terrorism ~4000x disparity, can be explained.)

Edit: Well, here we go. https://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/pdf/leading_causes_of_dea...

Unintentional Injury is cause #1 for ages 1-44. Suicide is #2 for 15-34, #3 for 10-14, and less for higher ages. Homicide is #3 for 15-34 and 1-4 (!), and #4 for 5-14. Cancer is #2 for 5-14 and 35-44, #4 for 1-4 and 15-34. Congenital Anomalies is #1 for <1, #2 for 1-4, and #3 for 5-9. Terrorism isn't listed, although if it were counted it might go under homicide. Heart Disease is #5 or less for 0-34, and #3 or higher starting at 35+.

If you figure that the news media only cares about young people, it goes some distance towards explaining matters...

My hunch is that there is a critical mass in number of active users, that once achieved, Network effects make it more expensive to be left out of the network than opt in to it.

What the magnitude of such metric actually is, probably depends as much on cultural aspects of your target demographic as the quality and usefulness of the network provided services.

Surely there is an academic paper on the subject, but if there isn't, then the real question is Why?!
I don’t think implementation details are relevant for CISC vs RISC. At least not anymore.

Having mostly seen it on CRT TV screens, with their limited resolution and contrast, I was struck by the amount of detail the film captured, when I first/finally saw a restored print on a high quality, IPS high definition screen.

In the nighttime shots, the delicate and nuanced swirls of cigarette smoke through the air.

If you like "Casablanca" but don't know other films from that era, you really owe it to yourself to check them out.

You can start with Bogart, for example, a couple of other films with him that are personal favorites: "Dark Passage" and "The Big Sleep".

Some things, such a sexuality, were more nuanced (my word for the day, I guess) and implied, in those days; but don't tell me they weren't there. And in some ways things were a little more direct; adults were adults, and some of the humor along with it.

There are also any number of excellent comedies, often as sophisticated as anything we have today.

I've had a few younger friends who tell me, 'I'm not interested in that old stuff.' Until I get them to watch a prime example.
> Another variable is whether your personal effort materially affects the outcome for the company.

Well no, the question supposes you work for the company in either case. If you held $1M in cash, would you invest it all in the company you work for because maybe you can affect the outcome? If not then probably you shouldn't hold onto $1M in equity... if you're perfectly rational that is.

Spot on re: 2. That might even extend to reducing exposure not just to Google, but to the entire asset class. If you're a Boglehead, one could simply reduce exposure to large growth stocks and increase exposure to small/large value stocks. That way, you reduce the correlation risk of losing your job and having your portfolio tank at the same time.
Each individual event is unplanned and urgent (life-threatening). But he has a lot of events. He spends a few days in intensive care, gets stabilized, gets sent home, and then is fine for a while... until something happens. There are lots of people in similar situations, i.e. a person with life-threatening allergies, compromised immune systems, etc. Modern medical care means that there are more people skating closer to the edge of death than there once were.
This reminds me of "cloud cameras" which seem to be getting more and more popular, and the absurdity of the whole situation.

Years ago, the standard was "IP cameras" which you basically connected to directly and they would stream video to you. Now these cameras stream video to some remote server, so the output from a camera which might be sitting only tens of meters away, goes maybe thousands of miles out into the Internet, crossing a geopolitical border or several, before coming back in. IMHO it's absolutely disgustingly inefficient in addition to all the privacy risks.

Of course the makers claim this is so you can watch from anywhere, but a lot of those old "dumb"(?) IP cameras could be configured to upload video to a remote server if you wanted, and one under your control.

Relatedly, the musings of a coworker who wondered why IM'ing someone sitting less than 10ft away in the office should even require a working Internet connection --- because his message gets sent far away and then back, in a horrificly wasteful loop, instead of going directly from computer to computer within the LAN.
Ha, I have exactly the same thoughts.

Windows have become bloated to the point I have rather installed openSUSE and after ~20 years I am not touching them any more. I don't like linux (it has another set of problems) and I would be very glad if I could use ReactOS and instead using firewall, just recompile the winsock dll with my own instructions (just one example).

Windows will never be free os, you will pay heavly with your privacy and from what I have seen on GUI changes, they are more moving into direction of cloud (minimal installation on pc, the PAID resources on cloud) than beeing free.

ReactOS devs, good work and thank you, I hope I will be able to use it in the future.

Perhaps someone here can tell me something. I've had another rant, but this is a case of plain wrong information which is different. But I don't know how to go about fixing it.

In Australia, addresses are in the form [Street Number and Name], [Locality (i.e. suburb, town, rural district), Postcode State]. Localities are therefore very important. They need to be in any mapping database of Australia, because people will enter addresses in that form because it's what the post office uses and the local councils define.

But it looks like someone went to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and downloaded the "State Suburb" boundaries and uploaded them into Open Street Map. "State Suburbs" are not places and not used in addresses. They're statistical regions used for reporting statistics. "State suburbs" are built up of other statistical regions to approximate towns, suburbs and rural districts. They sometimes correspond well enough at a broad level to suburbs in metropolitan areas, but even in densely populated urban areas they can be wrong because what makes statistical sense isn't always the administrative border. In country areas, they take scant regard for locality boundaries. "State Suburbs" should never have been uploaded to the database.

(There's an analagous problem with Local Government Areas, which are statistical regions, and municipal districts, which are the territory of a local council. But here the distinction is going to be rarely significant because LGA boundaries are deliberately aligned to municipal district boundaries. Consequently it's more a matter of the source of the authority than the content of the data.)

You can go to data.gov.au and download locality boundaries for each state. These are what is wanted.

But I have no idea how to do this. I don't really know where to begin. I once asked someone for help about trying to find the right forum to ask for help. But it's daunting. When these online databases contain work that is wrong, it's so hard to fix them. People will be possessive of the work they've done. It's possible some of them have been corrected. Others might have been partially corrected. I just don't see how I can go through and fix them without upsetting anyone.

The alternative seems to be to just accept that there's wrong data in there because there's way too many to fix manually, even if I start now and keep going in all my spare time for the rest of my life.
Thank you. I'm finishing my masters while working and thinking a lot if I should or not get a PhD. The tendency is not to.

Sounds like the same argument people have against Wix and Squarespace - "you can't make a website in a GUI".

Yes, you can - but you'll be pretty limited. If you're a brick and mortar or service focused business, a website builder is great. If you rely deeply on a customized web experience, you need to do something custom.

Same with data science. You can get pretty far with some simple data analysis tool. If you need to go farther, then you need to build custom solutions.
