The post is readable to me. I've myself been called out for grammar and I find it kind of useless to be told my grammar is off. If you don't understand my post at all then tell me, otherwise I'm sorry that having English as a second language and not learning it as well as you have is not my top priority in life. I'm also sorry for my bad English, I'm American.

While this is true, the point was that it's an important optimization to avoid doing RMW at the memory controller level. If you did it there, it would cost tens of nanoseconds. Doing an on-die refresh in parallel with the write is almost free.
You'll need something to set up an entry point, stack, somewhere for assert() failures to go, etc. The C library is minimal enough and fine for that. If you know what you're doing, it's easy enough to take care of those services yourself with DasBetterC.

I've heard plenty of rap music, mate, and all I can conclude is you're racist as hell.

Also, wow, you've been pushing this "rap music is racist" nonsense for almost a year:

> Would you hold that same opinion if the thing said were, say, violent american black rap lyrics?

> I can just as easily say "walking in any major US city, you can find young male black thugs. . ." And then use that as a justification to ban many rap lyrics on the basis of "hate speech".

> Yes, I agree. We can easily apply the same logic and apply the ban to, say, gangsta rap, as many of lyrics are hate speech. But I'm willing to bet most people would be against this.

And you've just been flat-out racist here for even longer:

> How about: Blacks contribute over 50% of violent crimes, homicides and rapes. It is ok to consider dealing with ghetto black types as a "high risk activity"

> I think culture also plays a role in explaining crime stats, not just poverty. Low income asian areas experience far fewer crime levels than corresponding low income black areas.

I did find this one ironic, though:

> Saying people in overwhelmingly white suburbs are racist is racist in and of itself. You shouldn't generalize people's behavior based on the color of one's skin!
How to Choose Best Payment Gateway for Ecommerce
Seriously, I feel the same way. I tried Angular1 5 years (?) ago and had to do ember for a gig. They were way too complicated, bloated, and terrible.

Vue just works. One of the book suggest that if you like React JSX you can do it too in VueJS. I've never done React but the thought of mixing javascript with template sounds horrifying. VueJS default template system make sense and it is self contain to a file or component.
The initial idea of Facebook is great. I can't exactly knock it when this site is heavily influenced. But the problem with having specific boards that satisfy every little interest is that an echo chamber effect often occurs. My karma on that site is so low, not because of trolling, but speaking my own opposing views. I'll never be able to post on a FreeBSD subreddit, claiming a specific case where I find Linux better suited. Or when I read the OpenBSD mailing list and post that Theo De Raadt needs to get a grip, when he rejects Rust because no core utilities have been implemented. Making points that radical are just asking for trouble.

It's a great way to collaborate with people within the same niche, but it's a clique. They only want to hear themselves talk. Believe it or not, despite 4chan's well known toxicity, boards like /g/, /adv/, and /mu/ are perfect examples of true anomity. Where specific interests are shared within threads of each board. They may come off harsh to the light hearted, but they're not afraid of opinions.

Good for you for sticking to your moral compass.

Is it going to change anything? Probably not. At the end of the day everyone is complicit is some respect. Part of those taxes taken out of your paycheck are consequently going to defense and the military. The US spends 35% of the world's share of military expenditures[0]. Project Maven was going to happen with or without Google's help, it's just a matter of when. Who knows, they might even be using TensorFlow.

At the end of the day, there's little "defining" for Google to do. Google is not some angel child that fell into dating a bad boy with the DoD. Google does both good and bad things all the time, even when the consequences are not as highly publicized as with Project Maven. Google is a for-profit company that was following the money. Figureheads like Eric Schmidt dove right in to working with the DoD without even giving it a second thought, and there was little news from any C-levels on the matter prior to this PR issue for Google, which I think speaks for itself about the philosophy of the company from its leadership. Cynically put, Google now cares because their reputation, and by proxy their fiscal performance for their shareholders, is now threatened and somebody calculated that the risk is greater than the reward of the government contract.

Personally for me it's a trade off and it does increase complexity.

With jQuery and such you just include a script and back then there were no package management system, glup/grunt, webpack, yeoman/brunch, etc..

Also the client side rendering make SEO hard.

jQuery just get stuff done but at the same time the organization of your code is up to you and you do sacrifice some reusability but in general the trade off is complexity.

VueJS as much as I love learning this framework, it is complex with webpack, cli, browser plugin, and etc...
Yes, no one takes the time to research. Most popular does not equate to good.

I took the time to do the research back in 2013 and found that Ember basically solves all the problems OP talks about. Tom Dale, one of the creators of Ember, blogged over a year ago [1] about how Ember has been around since the days of Backbone. As the years rolled on, other frameworks became obsolete, but Ember evolved (with sane upgrade paths) and is still relevant.

How debt kills
Worth reading the report itself, linked from the article: https://www.airproxboard.org.uk/uploadedFiles/Content/Standa...

It's only 4 pages, and explains the situation fairly clearly. Choice quotes:

The Airprox occurred on the northern edge of Dartmoor
some distance from any notable habitation and therefore
in an area where military aircraft can operate to their
minimums. Both the drone operator and the F-15E pilot
were operating within their regulations which, in the
case of the F-15E, was not below 500ft agl.
Nevertheless, it is of note that within the UKLFS RAF
fast-jets can use a minimum of 250ft MSD

although the drone operator perceived that the F15s
were extremely close to his drone, in actuality they
appeared to have had sufficient separation

after discussion about the likely separation between
the two air systems, it was agreed that the
circumstances were probably best described as a
sighting report, with the risk assessed as Category E,
normal safety standards and procedures had pertained.
Nevertheless, the Board agreed that the drone operator
had been right to raise a report with his concerns and
thanked him for doing so because it had provided useful
discussion points about the integration of drones and
military fast-jets.

To be clear, nowhere in the report does it say "near-miss", or that the risk was "high" (these were the words of the drone operator, not the board). A high risk would correspond to a Category A assessment, which is basically the opposite of what happened.

Edit: Also, "no blame nor any lessons to be learned" is a curious characterisation given that the military flight was booked through CADS, the Centralised Aviation Data Service, which is mandatory for low altitude military flights but not currently used by police drone units. There was substantial discussion about the police checking CADS in future or booking their operations through CADS. The military are also considering integrating the existing Drone Assist location sharing system into a future unified CADS replacement.
Not sure how that conclusion isn’t obvious or self-evident. Obviously, if you have a high quality school with motivated students, chances are their achievement will be an order of magnitude higher than students at a poor quality school.

For #1, try to explain it to a friend, preferably in person, possibly via a chat app, but definitely not via email. Then base your writing on the way you explained that. (But like, with complete sentences.) This is the best method I know for shaking off the instinct to sound like other people's writing (i.e: like technical papers) instead of just explaining things.

Here's three examples of excellent explanations via very different techniques:

[1] https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/ - Bezier curves, exhaustively technical but well-indexed and just really well explained

[2] https://directtovideo.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/ceasefire-all... - Advanced and unorthodox rendering techniques, narrative format, basically the opposite priorities of a paper (assumes you can fill in the gaps on how, details more what worked and why it's being used)

Also, if you're explaining sequential bayesian filtering by any chance (my specialty), I'd really like it if someone actually wrote down the awful formal version with the point-wise Bayes Theorem and the giant integral convolving over your state transition function, then explained how particle filters / kalman filters / hidden markov models get around how awful that is. It's how I introduce the topic at work but I don't have my slides handy out here in the real world.

I think smart young people sometimes forget there are lot of older professionals who aren't as quick at learning as them. I was surprised how much people appreciate slow boring video tutorials which I sometimes find frustrating. Engineers sometimes go on 2-day courses to learn to use some software. And they're simple stuff, way easier than a university class. They could have just googled how to do it if they were 25 and full of excitement for the hot new tech.
So, this is a website that lets people submit the names of their favorite software and then vote on them.

Anyone want to take any bets on how long it takes to turn this into the latest clicker game?

Sadly, any time you have user submissions and voting on those submissions, you also have to think very long and hard about all the abuse you’re going to have to deal with.....

So the image in the article makes it clearer but this is a monthly "theme" focusing on "issues" affecting London in future - clean air, plastics etc. Each company seems to have been offered a branded sponsorship of a theme (Uber got clean air / electric cars, Starbucks said no to plastics). There is supposed to be "events" which is marketing speak for "we will bother doing it once then forget"

One suspects Starbucks' pitch was heavily oversold on the day, and starbucks rightly took fright and reported it to someone hence the article.

I am dubious there really is buying actual editorial coverage beyond what you get when you give a newspaper a million in advertising and the editor asks himself "do we really want to piss off a million dollar advertiser".

You bet he is, with the stuff he buys! But hey, it makes him happy.

In summary: France and Germany have similar productivities, but ... Germany exports much more than France.

The gap ... threatens to undermine Europe.

What seems important for the average guy is not productivity, nor unemployement rate but rather the employment rate:

In "rich" countries it is roughly 75%.

In France it is 63% (one of three without real job). In addition there are nearly as much retirees as employees (16M versus 18M).

I wonder how much traction a lightweight Reddit with a nice clean html interface would get.

Something like HN but with unlimited categories, not just all/show/ask.

I would love such a thing. For me, Reddit already was on the edge of being too bloated before the redesign. Now I barely use it anymore. Before the redesign, I was on HN like 10 times a day and on Reddit 5 times a day or so. Now I use Reddit maybe once a day. And I always have this 'Uh oh this is going to be annoying. Do I really want to check it?' feeling.

Ok, I'm not convinced at all but you are arguing respectfully. Here are some follow-ups:

> bragged about it in social media

>> This I understand completely. Was entirely convinced by this myself and really shocked much later to recognize how easily that bragging post could be staged.

However simple it is to stage a social media post I'd still guess it is a 100 times easier to send it from the real account.

And one extra observation: detailed analysis of the missile fragment has been done and I think they also points to a version of the missile that the Ukrainian army did nit have access to.

Now even if we had dismissed the moving of equipment as well as the audio we would still have a social media post that could have been staged but more likely not as well as fragments of a rocket only available to the russian side.

The alternative:

- staged social media

- lying about audio evidence

- faking video

- fooling and/or getting Dutch investigators to lie

- all without a single leak.

I know personally that if I was involved in a misinformation operation like that I would have looked for ways to collect evidence and then as soon as possible send it to a trustworthy reporter or something.

I mean: even Russian social media trolling operators grow tired of lying, quit and come forward.

I guess I'm not alone in that.

To raise an analogy:

It is possible that the moon landing has been staged. But the chance of that happening without anyone of those involved leaking over all those years? That is a very close to 0% chance.
