Kilauea has been at Orange for the past several years--the ash clouds that were generated were small, highly localized, and not really a threat to aviation. On April 30, the erupting fissure (Pu'u 'O'o) suddenly had its floor collapse, cutting off the main escape path of lava. At the same time, there was a massive surge in magma underneath the summit, which shortly thereafter shifted down the flank.

The lava lake at the summit is now a crater over 300 meters deep. This means that, in addition to rocks falling into the crater and subsequently being ejected into the air in the form of fine ash, water is also intruding into the column, which raises the distinct possibility of a high pressure steam explosion. The alert level was changed because there is now a persistent, high-level ash cloud that is traveling some distance. It's not on the same scale as Eyjafjallajökull (the volcano that shut down European airspace), but it is big enough to start wrapping around the Hawaiian islands.

This is a multi-player space battle game where you can construct your AI rules for the ships. It's very cool:

Yes - restaurants typically buy at that $33 wholesale price - hence the rule of thumb is restaurant prices are 3x wholesale and 2x retail.

Generally, I don’t believe restaurants can but direct from the winery as a result of absurdly complex tiered distribution laws
Regarding the second point: I really don't get what's up with the start menu search. I don't use Win 10 all that often (secondary OS) and always assumed it's somehow broken for me. I almost never find anything I'm looking for and it feels absolutely ridiculous.

I found this game endearing, and I wish I was a kid again with lots of time to play. I would have gotten immersed in this.

The game play is pretty smooth, and I am impressed with the performance and interaction.

The sound work is great, and is a large part of what makes this game feel engaging. I played some of the tutorial, but the chewing smacking sound when eating food was a deal breaker for me, had to shut it off.

I can't be absolutely sure what you mean by this comment, but it feels like a needlessly personal attack.

FWIW, I don't really approve of the self-description of "world class software developer", either because (i) I'm not really sure what it means, but (ii) it sounds a bit pretentious. Still, it doesn't really relate to the quality or validity (or otherwise) of the post.

That's my big gripe with this. I'm not a huge fan of anything from Microsoft, but these look VERY cool. However, we're a big Mac/iOS shop, so interoperability would be a concern. And, I'm afraid, non-existant.
I wondered how the spam callers knew what area code I was in while traveling out of state.

I would assume that through clustering analysis (eg coworkers/friends travel together) even fairly coarse position data can allow you to construct relationships. Then they can spam/fish both you end your coworkers with the same fake number. That makes it seem more important to answer and more organic.

Well, there are two distinct loci of volcanoes at the hotspot: the loci that creates Mauna Loa, Loihi, Hualalai, Lanai, etc., and the loci that creates Mauna Kea, Haleakala, Kohala, Kilauea, etc. It's still referred to as one hotspot, but there may be separate mantle plumes in close proximity.

Oh I see your post earlier - yeah, I think removing incentives from voluntary contributions to (partially) taxpayer funded events would lead to a major increase in inefficiency of those projects seeing the light of day.
I'm not sure about prove, but I definitely believe that it can lead to actionable statements. Logical arguments are a layering of priors, arguments, and conclusions, which can be deductively analyzed to find proper conclusions given a known set of priors. I find that a lot of unconcluded arguments are based off of an unresolved set of priors that are never acknowledged, but are blamed on the lack of logical arguments made by the opposing party. Other times debates fall apart when one party approaches a conclusion that they do not agree with and form arguments that conveniently side-step that outcome. Because of these possibilities I think we may write off vigorous ~logical~ debates as relativistic and populist pandering, or uncouth shouting matches, but if logical principles are applied properly with a distinct lack of emotion (not morals) debates can be effective in finding truth.

Yea, I agree. I guess it's just that I can sympathize with their position (again, for the sake of argument assuming they are good actors..).

I was also way too vague. A better thing to talk around would have been warrants, and how our legal system is designed to ensure government can invade your privacy assuming reasonable requirements.. yet crypto changes that game entirely.

I definitely don't want the government invading my privacy, and I want true secure crypto in all things. I just can sympathize with how much this is going to change things.. some for better, and some for worst.

overall most of the people who drink wine haven't really tried once in their life a really good wine. and im not talking price wise.

How do the telescopes on Mt Kea protect themselves from the ash? I know that they are on another island some distance from this volcano (I visited a decade or so ago) but does the ash cloud risk transporting damaging particulates to the special glass?
Depending on the GC and what the particular definition of "performance" is for your use case (Memory usage? Throughput? Latency? ...), they don't cause a hit. It depends.

For instance, if you never hit the GC memory limit in D, it's faster than manually managing memory since you never free it.
No. Germany sucks for tech startups, because we have Merkel, she doesn't know anything about tech or even "the Internet". That means you can expect the government to put a lot of hurdles into anything you are trying to do.

Part of the American mythology is that government involvement is always bad. It's hard for me to know if this developed because of the myths of the America Revolution, that a small colony won it alone and not because of external factors, and how much is due to people preaching small government politics. Regardless a distrust of the government seems to be ingrained in the American psyche IMO.

>> You don't need to walk on eggshells in an exit interview

While walking on eggshells:

>> I've said "it was just time to move on to something new" about a dozen times in the last one I did

Possible outcomes being honest in an exit interview:

- You help the company you're leaving improve its processes and culture

- You burn bridges by hurting feelings of people in your industry

- You may harm the chances of a rehire

- You may harm the chances of a bad reference

Out of that list, the only way to get the first outcome is to create a culture of good will where the employee WANTS to help or feels safe enough to help without fearing reprisal.

It's not easy to accomplish and in most instances people will err on being polite.

It will be quite different from our first game. Here are some things which we don't like about current detective games.

- They have very carefully hand-crafted scenarios which are very expensive to create and therefore rarely allows the player to go off the tracks or to completely fail. Some of them don't even allow you to leave a crime scene until you've literally found all the relevant evidence. These games do a lot of hand-holding and player direction and rarely feel satisfying when you find the killer.

- You're forced to try to mind read the game designers intention and world view instead of really taking in the game scenario itself since the game world is primarily explained qualitatively instead of quantitively. For example in LA Noir I'm asked to judge whether a person is lying or not, but what I'm actually doing is judging a actors interpretation of somebody lying or speaking the truth.

- They rarely explore strategic gameplay / resource management aspects or if they do they go so far in that direction that they don't feel like a detective game anymore.

I'm not saying that we'll be able to fix all these problems, but these problems are at least what drove us to think that there would be some interesting game design work in this space. It turns out to be quite hard, but I'm excited about our current prototype. Will take some more time before you'll be able to play it though unfortunately.

Oh.. and it is set in Berlin of the 1920s, which is really a quite fascinating and relatively unexplored setting.
Forced OOP model [1], lack of types, highly redundant syntax (ES6 whyyyy). After years I’m still fighting with the language, not to mention the browser with it’s frankensteinian api.

Browsers should have just created a Lua dialect, which is like a more sane version of JS, and throw JS back into the nineties-fads hellscape that spawned it. Perhaps in an alternate dimension Eich will have done a non experimental port of Scheme or would just have done WASM from the start.
I’m pretty sure at least there every PC would just boot into Netscape by now.

It’s true that the infrastructure around JS has gotten a lot better, but that’s despite the language. If anything I should thank it for popularizing FP which will hopefully eventually slay the chimera that is OOP.

Crossbar Pushes Resistive RAM into Embedded AI
For younger generations, C is a synonym for fast code, yet on those days it was quite common that asm { ... } blocks would be like 80% of function bodies.

I shared a similar experience regarding parsing also with your age, got a compiler development book at the local library, but the T diagrams of bootstrapping process and how to use automatons only made sense years later.

I ended up resorting to common sense and a very lousy parsing algorithm.

However my goal was pretty basic, doing syntax highlighting of Turbo Pascal code for printing.
Having a public register that tells you who owns a particular domain or IP address could be useful for a lot of things. Sure, they could take away a lot of fields that are not necessary and might be a privacy problem, like address and phone number, today it's useless, and maybe instead add a GPG public key, so much useful, and keep name and email address.

But don't remove it, it's a useful thing I use a lot, most of the times for security purpose, you see a suspicious IP address or domain while observing a packet capture, WHOIS tells you who owns it, you find in a log an IP address that tries to bruteforce into your server, WHOIS tells you who it is and gives you an address to contact and ask explanations, you need to find a person to contact if you have a problem with a website, contact the email address in the WHOIS record of the domain, you are sure that you are contacting the right person, even if the site gets hacked in the worst way the WHOIS record can't change.

Installing Xcode on Windows 10
I take your point, but the phrase 'being smart about security' trivializes a task of monumental proportions.

We need to rethink how we design software / hardware systems.

We need to rethink what we mean when we talk about software engineering professionalism.

We need to rethink how we approach quality and liability issues.

All of these things go so much further than just 'being smart about security': They go to the very core of our profession and how we organize ourselves.

True, we need to contain bad actors, starting with the ones who are actually criminal and hostile, but that comes a distant second to the imperative need to get our own house in order.

The security services are literally the least of our worries, and (almost) the last thing we need to worry about.

We have much much much bigger problems.

Sample point of 1 here, but I just got "hired" by a US company with no point of presence in my country. They use a firm called CXC Global. Basically, I'm an employee of CXC offering consulting services to their client company.

It's not like a typical staffing agency arrangement in that I interviewed with the US company, negotiated with the US company, got an offer letter (of "engagement", not "employment") with the US company, etc - CXC only came in at the final stage.

So, that may help with the visa options.

I have two Bunnahabhain SMWS bottlings (10.97 "Ch-ch-ch-Changes" and 10.100 "Pirate Ships are Burning") that both give QC a run for its money, and 10.100 handily surpasses it in my opinion. Strongly peated, 9 years old, cask strength (~63% ABV), unchillfiltered, natural color. Really distinctive, takes a bit of a run-up and will certainly put hair on your chest. No other whisky I've tasted has come close to being as ferocious an experience as those.

I can highly recommend becoming a member of SMWS, if they're in your area. They have some extremely interesting bottlings, and everything is presented in natural style, cask strength.
At one point one has to ask oneself: what's even the point intaking down a website? I was the work of someone else and not of chance, as were the other cases in which libgen/scihub were inacessible. But really, at this point it probably takes more effort to take down a website to put it up on another domain. It probably doesn't take more than a couple of hours, at the worst case, while take downs -- if they have any bureaucratic existence -- must have been parked at someone's office for longer than that. Why these people still pretend they control anything on the internet?
