Depends on your perspective. If you are running a consumer grade drone over 2.4Ghz, okay. However, it's actually getting impossible to jam military drones because of technologies like direct sequence ultra-wideband (DS-UWB). Further, if directed by satellite, further measures can be taken to block ground based jamming using directional antennas. Finally: AI. We are already at the point where we have weapons that when they lose communications, have their own camera for target identification.

OP appears to be a polyglot with a foundation lower in the stack (e.g frameBuffer, X, etc) ... thus (as has been admitted) React et al are too abstracted from what is considered “familiar” web dev.

Vue gives you the binding, flow and components - whilst maintaining a closer relevance to what can be considered “familiar”... and subsequently a good introduction for someone who rejects web at first, yet introduces how a Text Editor can actually he built in a day using the principles shared by all modern web frameworks.

> But the media's attention surrounding that recent increase was focused on Stormy Daniels and/or some other alleged Trump admin gaffe.

I'm a bit of a cynic, so I would readily cast a negative eye to the entire corporate media machine and assume they're void of integrity and merely interested in what grabs eyeballs and money ('if it bleeds, it leads')...

In that vein I don't think the media has attention. "Media" throws anything it can to the wall in hopes of making money, and find a public who cares very little about either insane deficit increases. Point of fact, even the Stormy Daniels sex scandal barely registers in terms of meaningful public reaction... Time was a President would be out the door for a hint of something like this.

I blame the people who have removed civics, and civic history, from childhood education. The same people who have eliminated previously sacred media segregation laws, and also eased campaign finance laws to the point of shadowy billionaires openly bankrolling national candidates and extremist agendas...
There'd also be a question of cost: if a drone could survive close enough to get into missile range, it'd be a question of whether you could buy enough drones to overwhelm the F-35 for less than $100M even if individually a drone is no match. The design left it with relatively limited weapons capacity so it's not going to end well even if it effortlessly kills the first 10 drones but the enemy can afford to send 50 and there aren't human pilots to be concerned about.
I think that:

Privacy best practice is to know nothing, or as little as possible, about the user.

If storing progress is required, and local device storage is not sufficient, a minimalist online setup is the desirable solution.

An automatically generated user id and a simple user-progress table should be enough. GCloud has all the required parts ready to go.

In any case this whole thing should come after the user has had a chance to experience the product.

But that’s just me.

Why does it cause the front wheel to rotate away (right) ?

Answer is : "it's complicated" , which is why this subject causes confusion. There are many arguments about the exact dynamics (combinations of gyroscopic effects, torques, center-of-mass motion), but empirically it is pretty clear that two wheeled vehicles like bikes/motorcycles do not turn without counter-steer.

it's the controller's (in this case FB is def a controller) responsibility to ensure that their use of data has a legal basis

You're correct. They are ensuring it by placing it in their terms for the use of their code/images on other sites. Nowhere in the GDPR does it say that every third party whose content may be placed on a site must themselves obtain consent. What exactly do you envision? That each page you load have 40 different consent dialogs show up?
response to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16870636

This thread is now too deep for me to respond to your comment.

"The reach of GDPR is broad but is not unlimited. The mere fact that a U.S.-based website can be accessed in the EEA isn’t enough. If the company does not have a physical presence in the EEA, it must be determined whether that company engages in more than incidental contact with EEA residents."

This statement seems to have misinterpreted article 27, which states that if your processing is merely occasional, or if you are occasionally a processor for an EU controller, you need not specify a designated representative to the EU.

Read more here: https://gdpr-info.eu/?s=occasional

But the exception you think exists pretty much doesn't. It's got a small exception for occasional sharing of data without consent when it relates to active legal proceedings.

Naturally the EU has no jurisdiction over you if you don't live in the EU and you aren't based in the EU. They may be able to apply pressure on your partners though, be that advertising companies or others. This may flow through to you, in time. We're already seeing Facebook come under pressure to provide US citizens with the same protections that the GDPR provides EU residents.
Design Patterns in Cocos2d-x
It's silly to discard GTK as overcomplicated because it is designed for more than "a few buttons and some text". Surely the author's JSON idea would end up in the same place. After all, it's a GUI toolkit that is going to be serving the needs of many different applications; just in the flavour of the month, instead of a shared library. (And as far as GUI toolkits are concerned, GTK generally strikes me as quite modest. It has a lot of widgets, but they aren't terribly redundant, and it doesn't have stuff like an analog clock widget for that one developer who wanted an analog clock. And the odd ones that are there, like the different kinds of buttons, are pretty transparent quality-of-life helpers where it's clear how to make your own if you want).

With that said, nobody cares about GObject Introspection in OCaml. So unless you want to maintain that, you're stuck with an ancient wrapper library for GTK2, which is pretty sad. I definitely would avoid it.

If we're going to discard GTK for a reason that isn't "I probably picked the wrong language", I'd add that it's challenging to target non-"Linux" platforms with it, but then your best option for that is Qt, and if you pick Qt you probably aren't using OCaml…

So I can see where he's coming from, at least for OCaml, but, uh, JSON?
This looks like a great project. Great work!

I appreciate what Tesla did to popularize electric cars, but everything else isn't that great.
Apple has a pretty good approach.
I'm not sure I would even call them dogfights anymore. It's about picking up a target at long range and throwing a guided missile at it. I think one of the main benefits of the F35 is range of finding and throwing. It's not unlike the WWI scenario where the German artillery shell allied positions and the allied artillery which couldn't even throw a shell that far. Range makes things pretty one sided.
For data compression it uses the LZ4 format [1] (real-time LZ77-like data compressor -without entropy encoding, just string references and literals-, with small blocks so its LUT-based O(1) search is always in the data cache).

Can I ask how your approach deals with accessibility?
The F-15 first flew in 1972, and four years later entered service. Three years after that it was seeing regular combat in Israeli service and production was being upgraded to the F-15C/D variant. By 1984, 12 years after it flew, it had all but replaced the aircraft (F-4 variants, mostly) it was intended to in USAF service.

The F-35 first flew 12 years ago. You do the math.

You're in luck, Occam's Razor doesn't say anything about what's always accurate. It's more like advice, telling you to prefer the explanation that requires making the fewest assumptions.
Agreed. The pricing is definitely problematic for constant use at smaller companies. We had a single query that read 200GB of data once an hour, and this ends up costing around 700/month. That's for 1 dashboard chart. Add up to 10 charts and we're looking at 7k/month just to run a single company report updated hourly.

BigQuery has high throughput but also very high latency and the shared tenancy means unpredictable query times, with the same SQL taking 10 seconds or 60. They are working on both but it'll be awhile before any changes. DML merge and DDL statements are now in beta though which resolved other big obstacles in automation.

It's a great system but at this point I'd only recommend it for occasional but heavy queries that need to scan massive datasets with complex joins or for some ETL uses. Perhaps if they charged for compressed storage and scans then it would be different but right now Snowflake Data is a much more usable system day to day.
Oh man, I remember the old days when r/memeeconomy was just a joke.
How about block level checksums? Can LVM do that as well? Or is there some other way?

ZFS dedup takes 320 bytes of RAM per unique block "record". So 1TB of RAM is enough to dedup only a bit over 6 TB worth of unique blocks, when using a block size that works well with virtual machines — 4 kB.

One can of course use larger ZFS record size than 4kB. But virtual machine dedup savings drop very sharply as a result if record size does not match virtual machine filesystem block size and alignment. This happens, because there are exponentially more different combinations how 4 kB blocks can be arranged inside a bigger record size.

It's painful to format all virtual machine images to use say 64/128 kB filesystem block size to be able to efficiently use larger ZFS record size dedup.

I understand VDO dedup requires significantly less memory and uses only 4 kB blocks for dedup. This is ideal for VM storage application.

There are several U.S. military aircraft that can operate from rudimentary airstrips, such as the A-10. While it's true most U.S. fighters aren't designed with engine protection systems like the MiG's, the requirement to operate from unpaved runway surfaces is so rare that it's not a real problem -- reducing weight and mechanical complexity.

Why not? If you and I agree on something, and then agree to amend it, that's valid.
Every QML application I've tried was comparable to Electron in my eyes so far: slow and full of little usability bugs.

This started to be really noticeable for me in the linux world, where QT is already common, but more and more UIs are converted to QML from QtWidgets.

The difference is staggering for me. QML GUIs are also often styled by the authors, which very often break or replace the system theme, something I hate.

Zoning codes are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they stop someone from building a high-rise in the middle of a low-density residential area... on the other hand, the very same regulations prevent the market from scaling up to meet new demand. New zoning legislation moves slowly when constituents benefit from rising real-estate prices (to the detriment of the broader public).

Legislation like "new construction must not be more than N floor(s) higher than surrounding properties" might help, rather than the simple fixed height limit many areas set.

My favorite from childhood, and which still holds up quite well as an adult, is Once on a Time, by AA Milne (same author as the Winnie the Pooh stories).
Having a panel whose members are open and that you could judge before comitting hours of work: that would be fair.

Instead you have to come with evidence and then negotiate the panel allowing a potentially disingenuous actor to counter pick your evidence. The way the author worded this challenge demands we consider them an antagonist. Their definition of unacceptable is rape and death threats. Given this fact, we must assume they'd demand judges with similar views.

To engage in this challenge genuinely, we are forced to accept the author's absurdly high threshold (10%?! That's a wildfire!) and their absurdly permissive definition of harmless toxicity. I will do neither.
There will always be edge cases, but you can't take those and make them be the status quo.

Yup. As a self-described guy in a dorm room throwing his single GPU cycles at some crypto for self-education purposes, people are using multi-coin pools that mine ASIC-resistant coins and flip around depending on which is most profitable (often monero/litecoin).

That said, pools like nicehash pay out in BTC anyways, effectively locking altcoins to the BTC index price. Where goes bitcoin, so goes the market.

> I wanted something reasonably fast, with a simple way of producing graphics.

Use the text widget in tcl/tk. It can display graphics and is powerful enough to build an old HTML 4.01 editor.

> I wanted to draw a horizontal line between the name of the file and its contents.

Use the text widget in tcl/tk. You can hard-code a base64 encoded gif/jpeg of a horizontal line, store it in memory, and display it wherever you need a horizontal line.

> I wanted to be able to open new instances/windows of this text editor quickly to fit into my workflow.

Use the text widget in tcl/tk. Tk's design is the old-school multiple-toplevel-window paradigm which is perfect for this use case.

> And I wanted low-level control of how the text was rendered (fonts, syntax highlighting, and the ability to add vim keybindings.)

Use the text widget in tcl/tk. It allows you to tag particular parts of the text which you can later manipulate. But it is way more lightweight than the DOM.

> I wanted this to be easy.

Then use the text widget in tcl/tk.
I believe this is addressed in the "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" section. If Stack Overflow is anywhere near as toxic as some people have suggested, this would seem to be a reasonable method of encouraging people to prove it.

One of the often repeated comments of several popular conservative "speakers" (Shapiro, although I think I've heard something similar from Peterson, Crowder, etc.) is that if you present proof of a specific problem they would be happy to work with anyone and everyone to resolve it. A generous interpretation of the author could be that they want to see Stack Overflow succeed, and by addressing this potential issue directly they can fix it, if it does exist at all.

We already have that occurring right now in Syria, US and its allies are fighting a proxy war for Syria's resources. If the US wins then Israel will likely annex huge swathes of Syrian territory in some kind of "security zone" and begin pumping oil immediately.

If Russia wins, then Syria remains independent and Russia benefits somehow, perhaps with steep discount out for the next 50 years.
Looking though history major civilizations rarely fight their equals.

The world wars had a lot more to do with mechanized nations dominating their neighbors than you might think. Consider Japan crushed China and Germany crushed the majority of Europe. Those where not fights among equals.
