In writing h kernal modules in C for vxworks, I find people quite often write/read data from hard-coded memmory addresses.
You should show all the services available in the landing page.
Actually, the author's argument about PDP-11 is interesting because C would have never been considered a low level language back then, for any platform.

Wiki definition, also what I was taught in my first CS class:

"A low-level programming language is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture—commands or functions in the language map closely to processor instructions. Generally this refers to either machine code or assembly language."

The term is evolving to match the time, as shown by the author's interpretation already being higher level than the original intention despite the goal of preventing exactly that.
Ah yes, of course, it's more like a bunch of serial links. Ok, how about a vacant RAM slot then?
Agreed that "incentivize engaging with a book’s content" reads like bizarro world marketing speak from someone who hasn't read anything longer than a tweet. Which doesn't seem to be the case from the article itself, but holy hell it's buzzword-speak at its worst.

But I completely disagree about the dictionary - that's exactly the right level of functionality I want my reader to have - yet also disagree with the author about the touchscreen functionality. I've had a Keyboard, a Paperwhite, and an Oasis, and my only UX complaint is "add the physical page turn buttons to the Paperwhite too."

I like the two layers of tapping.

This is great! Now, if only GitHub would be available via IPv6, that would remove the need for CloudFlare — not that I would necessarily remove CloudFlare, but I would feel better if my setup wasn’t dependent on it.
If Facebook values a US user at $100/year, then many people would likely not be willing to pay that cost, and Facebook should pay those users a larger share of that revenue to bribe them.
Ah, looks like the registrars were still coming online when I tried. When I first tried Gandi, it didn't seem to like .app, but now it does and lets me choose "landrush," which I assume is the way to buy a domain during the EAP.
While this is true mathematically, there is at least one project that emulates Klein bottles in 3D quite credibly:

This happens to me with Fox Matchpass events (gotta see Champions League matches while at work). Most of the time, it will get enough of a buffer to start again, but there have been times when I manually have to stop/start the player to get it to go again. I've never had to do a hard page refresh though.

Another funny thing about Fox Matchpass streams is that when watching it live, somewhere around the 85th minute, the stream magically jumps back to the very beginning of the broadcast well before kick-off. I have to manually click the 'Live' button to get back to it. This one is consistent, and odd. It's almost like some test code got left in, and nobody has noticed/reported/etc.
The bigger problem to me is not even the note taking but that the touch screen for page turning is such a worse experience that I can't understand any reason for it beyond fad. A page turning button in the right place (on both side) means I can hold it in a nice grip throughout my reading and just press. Now I have to move the hand off the grip to the screen, press quickly cause I don't want to force a text action and move it back. It also means I can't really hold the kindle in a nice grip. For me turning a paper book was a more seamless experience than turning kindle. Now in terms of weight and holding a number of book and light kindle is of course a much better experience.
And Bush lost the popular vote in 2004 and Trump lost the popular vote in 2016.
Look, I agree with you completely. My point is that home owners move to a neighborhood for a reason. The neighborhood they pick, is the neighborhood they like. When a skyscraper goes in next door, suddenly it's not the same neighborhood.

I'm totally onboard with the fact that things need to change, and people need housing. 100% onboard. Why can't we do things like beautify the currently uninhabited/run down buildings and turn those into apartments? Why not change the old mill into a huge apartment complex and build a community around it?

Why does it have to be a skyscraper slapped into the middle of an existing neighborhood filled with trees and single family homes? Why do developers buy a perfectly good home, and tear it down and put 12 apartments on a single lot? That doesn't make economic sense, and it doesn't make aesthetic sense either.

> I'd hypothesis that the difficulty for most isn't making friends

I have not found any group activity that I would want to do regularly. Upon introspection I find that I have created a lot many small hurdles for me. No smartphone due to privacy concerns, no car because I am accustomed to public transport, live too far from the city even though I could move. Combined with no real interest in offline group activities that leads to not having had anyone who I would call friend in more than a decade.

There are good solutions and even easy ones. The simplest I've heard is just make folks pay to extend the copyright. The longer the extension the more expensive it is. Everything else falls into public domain. if Disney wants Mickey copyrighted for a hundred years, they can pay a million or ten million or whatever a year for it. If it's not worth it to them, then it should be in the public domain.

Trivium Real Estate | Frontend and Devops | London | Full-time | ONSITE

We're a young, investor-backed, machine-learning startup for the commercial real estate industry. Our MVP is moments away from launching and customers are queuing to take it for a spin. As such, we're growing our team to tackle the challenges ahead.

We're a team of 8, located at London's South Bank and value continuous learning, empathy with our clients and customers, and empowering our engineers to make the best decisions.

# Front-End Engineer

This is for someone who:

- is comfortable in functional programming, especially Elm; and
- is experienced shipping front-end software to production; and
- has empathy for users and loves friendly UX; and
- has an eagerness to learn and willingness to share knowledge.

## A Typical Day

- Start off writing a feature that requires elm-ports. These can be tricky, so you pair with another developer who has shipped such code before.
- After lunch you're requested to review a Pull Request that fixes a bug you accidentally introduced a couple weeks back. There's no blame, instead some discussion about how our tests and review process could have caught this earlier.
- The afternoon is spent with the Product guys around a whiteboard. You're helping them sketch out a realistic wire-frame for a feature we plan to deliver in a couple of weeks.

# Dev-Ops Engineer

We're believers in CI and automated testing, but we need some help getting there. In particular we spend far too much time:

- Ensuring our testing, deployment, and validation services are up to date with the product.
- Managing different servers for staging and production.
- Trying to ensure we have a consistent build process across different machines.
- Thinking about the best way to deliver our machine-learning services in production.

You should have:

- experience maintaining CI services;
- experience writing web applications in a functional language;
- experience with different build processes (e.g. Make, `webpack`);
- knowledge of and comfortability with Linux, AWS, and Docker.

# Benefits

- £50-70k DOE. + Equity.
- 20+ holidays per year.
- Support for conferences & other tech related education.
- Friendly, supportive team.
- Great office location.

# Some Tech we like:

We're more interested in a willingness and ability to learn than what you currently know. But in case your interested in the stack we're using:

- Haskell
- Elm
- PostgreSQL
- Python / scikit-learn
- Tensorflow / Deep learning
- AWS
- CircleCI
- Automated Testing

We aren't looking for any particular level of experience, just great engineers and friendly people. Contact info in my profile or at https://www.triviumre.com
> What was the joke about porn videos having "Like" buttons?

"I don't understand why porn websites have a +1 under the videos? Why would I want anyone to know I use Google+?"
> actually believe that there is a straightforward correspondence between C code and what the machine is actually doing, which is wrong.

That really depends on your definition of "the machine". If "the machine" is "hardware", then sure. But if software is a considered piece of logic onto itself, that, when pitted against a sound model of an architecture will result in a series of logical steps, it's different: there is a very straightforward correspondence between the model-machine and assembly/C. Whether there is a 1-1 correspondence between the model-machine and any accidental hardware it is implemented is not that relevant.

So if low-level is defined as the lowest level that any hardware abstraction functions exactly as its logical function and not its silicon, it tells you exactly what the machine should be doing, even if it's doing it through different means.
"Awful looking" is a curious complaint about the Oasis because the unbalanced look actually makes it a wonderful in-hand experience, IMO. It's my favorite Kindle to read on in bed - whether lying on my side or on my back - ever because of that nice big side with those nice buttons.
Well the people living there were renting from an absent landlord who owned the home for a long time. So their rent was probably pretty great.

Now I imagine they are likely leaving the city altogether since it will no longer be affordable to live there.
> My background is not in psychology, but I suspect is boils down to something like....

The acknowledgement and discussion of this phenomenon is also one of the biggest reasons underlying the surging popularity of Jordan Peterson (Jonathan Haidt, etc). Human psychology is such that people like to self-segregate into teams, despite what they may say when they are being surveyed on the matter.
Statement of using adjective almost always is about defining the context.

Rift Owner here.

Mmmmmm. That's some nice looking hardware. Not appearing like you had a medical device strapped to your face was one of my driving decisions for picking the Rift over the Vive. And the simple straps and soft touch fabrics look really nice and comfortable here.

But I have yet to find any lasting appeal to the "low-end" VR experiences. It really gives a poor impression of what the tech is capable of and walk away with a "gimmicky" feeling.
I just went onto one of the EAP registrars website and spoke with a 'domain consultant'.

This individual assured me for today our available .app domain can be registered and fully usable for $11999. Tomorrow the price goes down to $2999 or something like that.

How is this possible if Landrush is only a preregistration expression of interest?

I have my doubts about this feature. In the case of Russian bots, having access to their data is critical.
Electric Meter Saga (2017)
The law is fairly smart. It is flexible enough to recognize the difference between a simple clerical error or misstatement and an intentional deception.

In this case, OP provides plenty of evidence that this would be a case of intentional deception. Contract law as implemented in most US states says that clerical errors are presumed to be correctable while intentional deception may either invalidate the contract or allow it to be enforced as originally stated.
It is not illegal to use such a feature.

In some states ("multi-party consent" states), it is illegal to use the feature without the consent of the person being recorded; just like in some situations it is illegal to use the "camera" feature without the consent of the person being recorded. That doesn't stop Apple for offering a camera on their phone.

Other states have "one-party consent" laws that mean it is always legal for you to record own phone calls.
Yes. I have done this with Spotify on many car trips :)

clarifying edit: This is for the paid version of Spotify. I've never used the free version but I believe that it plays ads in between songs.

You can think of K8s Controllers/Operators as a way to extend the K8s API at runtime with a new type of object that is managed by a controller you've written yourself (as opposed to the built in k8s objects that are handled by the default controller-manager).

A Helm chart by comparison is a way to template out K8s objects to make them configurable for different environments.

Some shops will end up combining one with the other.
It seems to me like it kinda was their fault though:
"This law, also known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, Sonny Bono Act, or (derisively) the Mickey Mouse Protection Act..."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act
I think the author of the article is willing to accept that, and it's part of his point. The point is not to label languages, but to illuminate how we ended up with our current combination of software and hardware design. He points out that we are in a local-maximum with respect to processor performance because most of the optimizations we've made in processor design the past few decades break the C abstract machine. That requires the compiler and processor to go through awkward contortions to present the fiction of that abstract machine while still getting good performance. The final section, "Imagining a Non-C Processor", is where he explores this idea.
Even if they did keep some part of the data, would they be able to use it for anything without inevitably getting caught and facing another scandal?
That shifts the "cost" to employers... and you profited from it. Does that make it theft? :-)
