There are plenty great games. It help to source them from a gaming community you trust.
I think this is the right way of approaching it, I just needed someone to confirm this

Yet I'm still looking if someone have some better way to approach this

You would be correct, but not on OSX.
Didn't you get the memo? Nobody believes that BS anymore. Your guys weren't even subtle about it, killing those poor people so soon after the White House announced that it would be pulling the troops out, exactly a year before the same song-and-dance would play again. Next time be proactive and kill some poor people after an 11.5-month interim!
This. MacBook Pros are getting more and more expensive surely they’re already outside of the teen demographics purchasing power.

It’s professionals and those that aspire to be professional who spend > £2,000 on a laptop.

I want decent UI (including keyboard shortcuts I can touch type), more features and better performance more than I want fluff like voice commands or anything-moji.

When thy said there another part of the platform they were ignoring I got excited for a moment.

I thought they bringing out an Apple official version of homebrew. Nope iOS apps.
And still no native calculator for iPad. Oh well, maybe they'll squeeze it in next year. Imagine the cheers and adulation that'll bring from the WWDC keynote audience...
No, if you look at an advertisement for LLC creation like this one : (https://companiesinc.com/shelf-company-llc/) tend to refer to them as 'aged' or 'shelf' LLCs.

The checkboxes under the search bar does not look like checkboxes but a series of logos of platforms. I was left wondering what ticked boxes meant.

Xcode 10 is now integrated with GitLab
> The problem with bottom-up parsers of any flavor, LR included, is that when you encounter a syntax error there is no context information, or context is difficult to infer, which makes creating a sensible error message less fun than poking yourself in the eye repeatedly with a sharp stick.

Both LL and LR parsers share a fundamental flaw for error reporting; they are both prefix parsers. They will parse the input until it fails to be a valid prefix of the language represented by the grammar. However, it is rare that this coincides with the place where the actual error was made.

The difference in information available here at the end of the valid prefix is less about the difference between LL and LR parsing and more about the difference between LL and LR grammars. An LR parser parsing an LL grammar is able to recover the same information as an LL parser at the point of error. And for non-LL grammars, it is easy to extend an LR parser with additional context information by splitting states (see http://gallium.inria.fr/~fpottier/publis/fpottier-reachabili...).

Parsing algorithms that do not produce prefix parsers (e.g. precedence parsing) are often able to produce more logical error messages with less work, because they continue making actions after the input is no longer a valid prefix, and this can amount to gathering more information about the error. For the same reason, LR-family parsers that perform default reductions (e.g. LALR parsers, or any minimal state LR parser) often perform reductions (but not shifts) after the point of error, and produce better error messages than canonical LR parsers.

My favorite approach to error recovery is Richter's approach of error intervals (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=4019), which uses alternating prefix/suffix parsers to find minimal error regions in the input that can not occur as a substring of any valid input. This has no dependence on the grammar or parsing technique. It was not (widely?) known at the time that Richter wrote his paper, but suffix parsing of LR grammars is linear time.
Github always felt like holy ground - neutral territory. But now that’s out the window. Google cannot host their software with Microsoft. Neither can Amazon or Facebook. It’s too much power for one company to hold. I understand the Mergers and Acquisitions have shredded the US economy, creating oligolopolies in every industry, but it hurts to see it happen to the one place I truly cared about - to have that option of neutrality stripped from you. What absolute A-holes they are for doing this.
Yeah, I see what you're getting at now. And that is an excellent diagram.

I've never actually used BUGS or JAGS for anything but I would consider at least BUGS to truly be legacy software. To me the word "legacy" means you shouldn't pick it for a new project.
I guess the question is who will hurt the most. Will this hurt non microsoft products more or less. Microsoft might want to funnel people to their cloud and sacrificing tfs might make sense.
> I can't think of another linguistic feature in history

Only slightly related, but this latest migration back to a "sign-like" language (the emojis) reminds me of Giambattista Vico's "Scienza Nuova" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Science), where at some point he says that the language spoken by the first humans ("the giants") was a "mute" one, based on "signs", which was correlated with a poetic sense of mind, so to speak.

> Beginning with the first form of authority intuited by the giganti or early humans and transposed in their first "mute" or "sign" language, Vico concludes that “first, or vulgar, wisdom was poetic in nature.” This observation is not an aesthetic one, but rather points to the capacity inherent in all men to imagine meaning via comparison and to reach a communal "conscience" or "prejudice" about their surroundings.

There's of course nothing scientific about Vico's discourse, but his themes somehow stick and resonate more (at least to people like me) compared to the latest linguistic findings.
YC typically invests at the seed stage. If YC makes, or doesn't make, a large follow up investment for some companies in series A it sends a signal to other investors about what YC thinks about the company. Since YC has access to information about the company's financials from already being an investor this kind of thing can influence other investors to make, or avoid making, an investment.
Wow, that's surprising. VSCode is not just (far) ahead of Atom, it's the leader on that survey. I'll have to give it another look. Last time I used it, it had far too many annoying characteristics.
This is because the Enterprise Edition includes the Community Edition. If you don't have a license, it'll use the EE as the CE version. This only makes it easier for new people to get started. It also has the benefit that if you want to switch, you don't have to set the entire thing back up.

This all sounds good and nice. The question is how much real power he has in Microsoft hierarchy? I mean, if some Microsoft VP decides to violate any of the promises Nat Friedman makes, what would be his options (besides the obvious one of resigning)? How much power he has if Microsoft decides to change direction and force GitHub to do something they didn't want to do?
My bet is they spin the whole gaming division off or sell it to someone like Amazon. It’s not really a great fit anymore and IMO they need to be bolted to a company with a greater interest in the creative side of the business (i.e. running a movie/game studio) than Microsoft.

Why Do So Many Linux Users Prefer the Command Line to a GUI?
It's the coolest electric car on the market right now at a decent price. The other ones look like garbage. I'd place the Chevy Volt as second.
I visited a friend, and he showed me his goofy car, a Chevrolet Volt. This person is someone I'd met at a flying safety conference (I'm a pilot/aircraft owner) as was he and we became friends. He'd made his money in the 80's/90's selling his software company which produced accounting software and retired.

I was astonished to hear he'd sold his Lexus for this car. After driving it a few times, I became a bit intrigued. It was goofy, but one of the smoothest power-delivery I'd experienced in a car (I've never driven an electric) and the feel of the car felt good. It's not a luxury car but didn't seem to be lacking much.

Long story short, three months later I had traded in my Porsche Macan SUV for a Chevy Volt, the 65-mile range gets me 99% of the time where I need to go, and I've loved not having to stop at gas stations, almost ever. I would have bought the Bolt if I'd been able to get one, but this was late 2016, and they just weren't available.

Looking back, for what I paid for the car, what I'm spending on the car for fuel (electricity) and relative maintenance (almost none), this has probably been the best car I've ever owned. I went from considering purchasing a Tesla to now not even being interested because I have everything I need out of a car and am somehow at that rare place of being happy with the relatively modest vehicle.

To anyone considering a Volt, do not discount what a value this car is in the market if you have an effective way to charge the thing and it matches your commute cycle. I'll never be able to see petrol cars the same again. (I got a dealer demo with 500 miles for $30k and was able to get a $7500 tax credit), costing $22.5k for a new car. LOVE the vehicle and went from never owning a Chevrolet or American vehicle to now absolutely loving the car even though some people might find the car unattractive.

Buy what you like, but what works for you. There are excellent options out there now on the electric market, the problem for some is one of the most practical options is a Chevrolet.

The good news is it's nearly time for my spongebath here in Longhorn Vista carehome, and my new nurse is a former Microsoft CEO trying to make ends meet. Nobody had the heart to tell him Google weren't destroyed, so he's been unsuccessfully trying to use Bing to find a new job. Good strong hands. Bit excitable. Throws the furniture around more than strictly necessary.
Something for the backlog: I enjoy the explore/discovery feature of GitHub - aggregating that into one site would be great.
Selection bias? Cultures (including religions) that reject capitalist values are disadvantaged in terms of global industry. One might expect dominate industrial powers to either outright reject community-oriented religious systems or for such religious systems to internalize capitalist values.
Sure, I agree with that. I think it's a coordination mechanism, and it tends to make language progress more conservative. I don't know if/when it's a net win, and I certainly wouldn't expect (or want) D or Python or Ruby to do it -- I think they do a better job of managing their own growth and development.

I do think it's a bit crazy to say that it can increase uncertainty about future compatibility, though -- on that front I think it standardisation has a strictly stabilising effect.
I've heard of this in the context of shortcutting regulatory stuff - if you want a banking license, find a small bank in some backwater and "merge" with them, if you want to list on a stock exchange, find a small, cheap listed company and do the same. You obviously need to maintain the regulatory compliance framework, but in many cases, this is cheaper and simpler than getting a license or listing on an exchange from scratch.

Anyway, it surprises me that someone who cares enough to be suspicious of a newly formed LLC doesn't care enough to check that a given LLC is an empty shell that changed ownership very recently. If anything, you'd think that to be more suspicious, wouldn't you?
Integration can refer to better interoperability, not just dependence.

Think of a large, non-tech company (i.e. development is a "resource" and not a first class citizen) that already has an Enterprise license for Office 365, which handles their emails, Office apps, and Active Directory for authentication. Microsoft could sell Github Enterprise as a one-click install that spins it up on Azure and hooks into the existing O365 AD for user management. No long procurement process, vendor has already been vetted (Microsoft), same privacy/compliance validation as your O365-hosted Exchange server, etc. Devs in these environments just went from an uphill battle to get Github approved for hosting repos to Github becoming the preferred solution.

And the inverse is true. Microsoft makes some incredibly good development tools. Traditionally, they've been limited to a Windows only model. But they've been making a lot of strides in making their traditionally Windows-only stuff cross-compatible. And Github is a really good channel/brand to try to get that software in front of users that may not have otherwise ever even looked at that Microsoft tooling.
Plugshare shows an extremely large network of non-Supercharger chargers, most of which appear to be operational, based on the details panel that shows up when you click on a location. The chargers are heavily weighted toward California and urban areas, but otherwise generally mirrors the density map of the Supercharger network...and in many regions surpasses the Supercharger network's density.
Yeah, the S-Corp is a fine entity choice for consultants and other small businesses that have above six figures in profit. It’s not good for side projects because, while overhead is low, it’s still not nothing.
Can you please write what's related to my case in plain easy English?

This is awesome, congrats on the release! Also looking forward to playing with the new --minimal flag which effectively lets you create Meteor apps that have virtually no client-side footprint.
It's more that people who know how to use the command line tend to also be Linux users (and, in most cases, in addition to being proficient users of other operating systems).

Github is a perfect match for MS, both of them are hostile to the idea of Free Software

They open source tools for devs, things like Library's, Frameworks, IDE's etc. Never end products.

They oppose the ethics of Free Software, Open source for them is a way to get free labor

Yep. Last year my mom's cancer returned two years after she was told she only had an 8% chance of recurrence. She's at least lucky in that it's apparently a non-aggressive type that can be treated with meds that have minimal side effects. Unlucky, however, since (barring new treatment options) she'll need to continue treatments for the rest of her life.
Personally I would keep windows and just run linux using the Windows Sub System for Linux. At home I have a macbook pro but at work I run Windows10 + Ubuntu@WSSL and it makes for a quite decent developer workstation - 90% of the time I'm using the PyCharm IDE.

I refuse to use Linux as my primary desktop OS (Linux paste buffer is a pet peeve of mine).
Well that was fast.

Those are the longest trips people realistically take by car. Philly to Baltimore is 2-3 hours each way. There are vanishingly few trips taken longer than 2-3 hours from home by car, in your own car. People choose closer destinations, or switch to another mode of transportation like plane or train. I don't care to rehash in-detail conversations we've probably had already on reddit, so I'm not going to dig up the National Household Travel Survey reports, but that's essentially what they show.

Not that there's any reason you can't continue on from any of those destinations to another further one; the entire eastern and western coasts are covered by several CHAdeMO chargers for every Supercharger.

As for Supercharger speeds, most of the time spent plugged in to one is spent at less than 50 kW, it's really not that different. Especially if we talk about the Model 3, where the standard range battery is going to be similar to the old Model S 60, which would spend less than 5 minutes above 50 kW starting from low SoC on a Supercharger before the charging rate would be no better than any CHAdeMO station.

I doubt my 15-20 minute charging stops are much different from yours with your Model S 85 most of the time, except that I have a lot more options for where to charge without an adapter around here, and they're a lot more conveniently located. Most of the population lives around cities along the coasts, and those cities and coasts have excellent CHAdeMO/CCS coverage. Bolts and Leafs are viable for single-car households for a heck of a lot of people, not just Teslas.
Nissan claims over 40k orders pending for the new Leaf including 30k of those in Europe and is not the longer range model!
Apple releases about once a year, so two years before I am forced to switch to a PC?
I'd happily go back to paying for MacOS if it meant a focus on stability and performance improvements. I waited in line for the Snow Leopard release and to date it was probably the best era of the Mac. I haven't even brought my office up to High Sierra due to the number of problems it's caused with all of our software and SAN systems.
Window functions are super handy to turn a correlated subquery into a join, because they make group-wise limits fairly easy (just put a ROW_NUMBER() concerning the relevant partition, i.e. what would be your GROUP BY in the correlated subquery, in your query and select from that query filtering on rank; then join on whatever you previously correlated on).

Basically: SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ..., ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY my_group [ORDER BY...]) AS rank) AS foo WHERE foo.rank <= 10

Without window functions you can usually only do this using a correlated subquery, which usually is much slower for fairly obvious reasons.
Exactly. This is one of the many reasons why most parsers are written top-down. Bison, which is a bottom-up GLR parser generator, does token location tracking, but it doesn’t help with annotating code properly for human-readable warnings and errors. YACC was the UNIX inspiration for Bison, but it was LALR(1).

OTOH, top-down parsers LL(0), LL(1), LL(k) are far easier to maintain because there’s a straightforward correspondence of BNF to code. It’s not necessarily the fanciest
Everyone is coasting in the desktop / laptop market. Refresh cycles are like 5-10 years on PCs now, and it’s not clear tablets even have a refresh cycle. You can’t get growth on PC hardware anymore, not even if you’re Apple. So it goes into maintenance mode. Nobody even really sells desktop PCs anymore except custom gaming rigs and low-power kiosk boxes.

Apple is all about mobile phones, the Apple Watch and air pods right now. The MacBook is barely a blip on their product radar.
Tesla does not need to sell premium configs to "stay afloat". They are selling premium configs so that their margins are not so brutally low, so that they don't get roasted for that as well. Honestly, Tesla can not win: Sell low margin base models, have a terrible quarter and get roasted. Sell high margin, high trim models and get roasted for high priced cars. They can not win.
Eh, I think they were talking about the UX for people that have JavaScript disabled, not about the JavaScript language.

To me it sounded more like "I can browse GitHub without JavaScript just fine, but GitLab doesn't even display the README, even though I'm using the exact same settings".

My question, is it possible to create an openGL/webGL emulation layer over Metal?
The concept of 'baked in'.

I sort of find doing stuff with words fun, sometimes. It's a creative endeavor, but also fairly rigorous.

Otherwise, stare off into space, and wonder if the terrible things I don't want to happen have happened yet.

Food, experiences, aesthetics, pleasure, hedonism. I study Zen quite a bit. I don't find it fun. It's just a way to reveal truths to others because,they can't be revealed directly and accepted at face value, for some.

Words are memes. Ideas are baked in. Connections dance in patterns. Math and logic form the foundation. Mind tests for correctness. Self, universe, theory. Universe is infinite, self knowledge - finite (or is it?). Theory unites with self, universe serves as reality check. Theory united with self, is this equivalent to the universe?

What is mind? The experience of everything you've ever experienced, collapsing in on itself.

https://youtu.be/1PT90dAA49Q

What happens after that? That, I find interesting. Post modernism, maybe. Where are the new words, new theories, new patterns? Dance on top of all that exists.

I would disagree with that, especially with regards to Metal. It's a very approachable and well-designed API. It might not have the volume of resources that OpenGL does, but the docs themselves are good, and I have seen plenty of intro-level tutorials that are decent enough. Debuggability is also much better than OpenGL, which I think is important for newcomers. Debugging OpenGL issues is very, very painful, especially with macOS's lack of debug extensions. Metal is described as "low-level", but it's not quite at the level of Vulkan -- things are simpler and more "streamlined".

There's also the problem that a large chunk of OpenGL learning materials out there are hopelessly outdated, and IMO actively detrimental to learning modern graphics techniques. Judging from the types of questions I see around various forums, it seems to be VERY hard for newcomers to distinguish between "bad" and "good" OpenGL tutorials. In general, there's too much cruft for learners to focus in on the stuff that is actually part of "good OpenGL".
Look into either an existing engine to abstract it away or Vulkan.
"I was told within two months not to put anything in the computer by somebody who was still inside working for Cheney. And I said, “Oh, god.” I said, “Don’t worry about it.

If this means that macOS will lose opengl support even for X11 apps, a substantial part of academia will switch away from Apple. It's highly unlikely that software like ROOT or geant4 will ever get ported to something else.
CAD on Mac is pretty much non-existent, as is any professional 3D market - the market share isn't there, the hardware support is terrible, so few major players bother with supporting Macs. All this stuff is either Windows (CAD) or Linux (3D simulation, visualization) these days.

And with this deprecation Mac is pretty much dead as a platform for professional 3D.
That's one of the main reasons I use Telegram - stickers + emojis + text is far more superior to just text.
