Nicaragua university students under attack in political uprising against Ortega
Sounds like a useless feature in that case
Good catch!

My bad.....I wasn’t intentionally trying to be cheeky. :)
The study does indeed explain the reverse, namely why Republicans, despite fielding a smaller coalition demographically, still dominate American politics. They simply make up for it in zeal and refusal to switch beliefs. That enables them to punch well above their weight, whereas diverse democratic coalitions can struggle even if they win in numbers.
That's a good article, and relevant. Link:

Not all Win 10 tablets support the wireless projection. I think you can do it with a higher end one like a Surface Pro, but you can't with less powerful ones like the Asus Vivotab 8. You'll get an error message having to do with not meeting the minimum requirements.

On the other hand, you can use something like Synergy, but that's not quite the same thing.
Maybe marketing? But you would start at a much lower salary than before.
Seems simpler to do this at the load balancer level. That way you can use the same strategy for any type of application.
The only one that comes to mind is the GMail app. When you swipe to archive an email, it gives you an undo button. I have to say I don't particularly like that UI though. If I accidentally swipe, then I only have a few seconds to undo it. I'd prefer a screen that showed me actions I've performed in the past, and let me undo them. That way I wouldn't have to worry about the undo popup disappearing too quickly.
_Blue Train_ is probably a better one to start with.
I haven't used CrashPlan in a while, but wasn't there an option to also encrypt filenames (it may have been cloudberry that has this, can't remember)? Maybe they are just able to see metadata concerning filenames, not the content?

Why do you vote?

To me giving to charity is like voting, but with some weight behind it.

Voting is trying to influence the chances that shit happens, while giving money is putting fuel in the machine that makes shit happen.
At least in the case of Microsoft + node foundation, they are forking node so it can operate on top of the MS Chakra "JScript" VM.

Chakra supports reverse debugging ("time travel debugging"), similar to the rr project (https://rr-project.org).

So... so far:

1. Embrace (join node foundation as platinum member) [1]

2. Extend (add ChakraCore support, time travel debugging) [2]

3. ? [3]

If you are smart enough you see where this is going.

> [..] why code needs to always fit within 80 columns.

Optimal text width for readability is 4-6 inches or (typically) 50-75 characters. Code, with its indented nature, tends to fit nicely within this if you keep to the 80 column rule.

uh ? unlike languages such as java, or c#, objects aren't nullable in C++, only pointers to objects.

You can't do for instance

struct foo {
// whatever
};

foo my_function() {
return nullptr;
}

and thus,

std::optional<int> my_function() {
return nullptr;
}

does not compile (rightly).
I know it's for TV but that was a great pitch.

> I don't see a lot of motivation for pre-compiled open source projects (such as R/CRAN) to maintain two copies of their software (one Apple AMD64 and one Apple ARM64) during the transition. Yet another thing that is going to make Macs less convenient for research and development.

You might want to go look at Apple's history at how they managed to pull off two of the largest CPU transitions in history almost effortlessly. It's called fat binaries or in Apple's world, universal binary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary).

You don't need to ship two separate copies, you just include a target and Xcode will give you a single copy that works on two separate platforms.

In addition, Microsoft is also going through the same phase with their own ARM branch of Windows 10.
std::optional is designed for value semantic. It wouldn't make sense to use it to return a pointer-type.
Could he take a bus to the edge of New York's railway network, then change to a train? I did roughly that to get from Hartford to New York once - got to New Haven by car, then got a Metro-North train into town. So, train to Providence, bus to New Haven (a bit over two hours), train to New York? It does seem like quite a trip.

One of the reasons I freaking love HN. No matter the topic, there are actual experts reading it and willing to comment.
Good question. From a game theoretic perspective, agents (players) are assumed to be self-interested in a non-cooperative setting if I recall. Maybe someone can comment on this a bit further.
Enumerating enum cases in Swift
Once a species starts to cooperate for mutual benefit, there does not need to be even a subconscious motive. One survives by taking care of oneself. Your genes survive by taking care of your offspring, which may mean helping your family, tribe, town, country, whatever group you are a part of that provides mutual protection or other benefit.

Bees cooperate in the hive due to instinct. I doubt many people would attribute their behavior to secret narcissistic desires seeking approval from other bees.

Altruism can exist and even be selected for without psychological motives. That said, there are plenty of people who do such things to send signals deliberately.

There's also the covert contract, which is essentially the belief that by being a "good" person the world will repay you in some way (or overlook your flaws). You can actually satisfy this psychological need by making truly anonymous gestures that are never revealed to anyone.

Beware of people who are always looking for hidden motives, they may just be projecting. ;-) And so might I.
In case, what do you say about returning a class instance from a function in Java? Joking aside, the feature gives you both a value type and documents the intent of function intentionally possibly not returning a value.
I don't think this is what he meant. Asking whether there is an observer in the cat is asking whether there is any mental life in the cat, i.e. whether there is anything it is like to be the cat. This is different from the homunculus fallacy that posits an inner observer to explain how mental representations of sensory information are consumed (e.g. the cartesian theater).
When I first saw the Dave2D video on Youtube a couple of days ago, I thought it would be a useless feature, but on further consideration, I'd totally use it.

I have an Zenbook ux501 that runs on wired power most of the time anyways so battery life isn't a concern for me personally, but I'd use that touchscreen as a security cam monitor, system resource monitor or some type of dashboard. I use a mouse most of the time anyways, so most laptop touchpads are useless to me.
It sounds like you've been vigorously trained in attacking a specific version of this inquiry: consciousness in the religious/spiritual sense, which is not what we're talking about here. No one here is suggesting a soul. At best, it may be a new physics; at worst, it may be nothing at all. Your borderline condescending tone doesn't help matters either.
Been using boost for this (what else is new?):

https://theboostcpplibraries.com/boost.optional

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22227839/how-to-use-boos...
No, this isn't java/c#. In C++ only a pointer can be set to nullptr or NULL. std::optional is a value that can store a type T(T is a place holder for a type name). If T is a pointer (such as T * or int *...) then yes you could return null. But that is rare and looks weird.

So the value of an optional is either a valid value or it has no value. The default constructed std::optional<T> has no value
> If you asked one hundred people on the street if they understand how a refrigerator works, most would respond, yes, they do. But ask them to then produce a detailed, step-by-step explanation of how exactly a refrigerator works and you would likely hear silence or stammering.

This is a terrible example because its essentially a trick question. The illustration would highly depend on context.

Say you meet someone on the street and you casually ask them this question, or you ask this on a birthday. "Works" with regards to a refrigerator refers to "knowing how to operate", or perhaps the basics.

Whereas if its for the TV quiz program "engineering of the kitchen" or "an applicant for technician repairing Samsung's refrigerators", yes then its clear that more depth is meant.

That's not to say the Dunning-Kruger effect doesn't apply here. Its just that there's a level set for a debate due to the context which then presets also the level of the expected answer.
Working 70 hours is much more than 40. In the first case you're working to survive and don't have any time outside of work to improve your situation.
Of course, many and many philosophers did. And we have a multitude of explanations.
Meanwhile, republicans should do the opposite, reversing the country's democrat-republican split. Since you want to achieve a one-party state, an easier and guaranteed effective way would be to move to Russia or China.
The philosophical distinction between deterministic and random is not that clear as the randomness itself could be determined by a hidden process, as in "god is rolling the dices".

Likewise the distinction between deterministic and predictable is not that clear either, as you can have a fully deterministic process that is not replicable or predictable. (Think of chaotic systems)

In the end I think that the question of free will is not a scientific one but a moral one, as it is from the basis of free will that we can derive concepts such as personal responsibility.
Or, you know, just get an iPad. iOS is a modified macOS, they're based on the same technologies, just different front end.
This is the probably why such a polarization exists in current politics. When you consider other's opinions so unreasonable that they should be eradicated from within, instead of engaging in a civilized discourse.
Wouldn't it be more correct to say that Java and C# don't have nullable objects either, it's just that they're always used via pointers, so any object reference can be nullable, unlike C++, which allows objects to be passed by value and thus not be nullable?
My personal advice is patience.

Patience is the key to so many things! I break into three steps:

- Faith: in your methodology or approach

- Determination: to actually follow through

- Courage: to act when the time is right or to admit you were wrong

If courage fails you lack determination if determination fails you lack faith. Such is patience.

Now what should you believe? Cause that is the question you are trying to have answered here, when you ask to learn 'critical thinking' you are asking for a method to believe in.

I don't think that makes much sense, you already have a method and it is your raison d'être. Now what you need is introspection, but approach the task of incremental improvement patiently (i.e. explicitly / scientific method-y) and you won't go in circles.

Math is a fine place to start but just study whatever is relevant and do it well.
Some of the terms to explore include "group selection" and "multilevel selection" if you are interested in models where altruism could create an evolutionary advantage.

Here's a toy model: self-replicating automatons with no consequence for murder, some automatons murder a percentage of their neighbors' offspring each turn, others do not murder, otherwise they all have the same fertility. Randomly partition the population into two separated groups for a hundred turns, where the two groups have a different incidences of the murdering gene. After the hundred turns, re-combine the two populations, then randomly partition then again.

The murderers will have more surviving offspring within the group, but the group with fewer murderers will grow faster and contribute more genes to the re-combined population. Outcomes are going to depend on specific numbers, and you could make extinction of murderers or extinction of non-murderers more statistically likely.
constexpr I think is the big difference. Also the name of the empty class to reset the value to none, boost is boost::none whereas the std has std::nullopt_t. I prefer the boost name of none as nullopt sounds and looks too much like null.
You don't think there is scientific evidence to back up physical attraction? LOL! Indeed we are in a post-fact era!
They'll do a Rosetta + fat binaries and use ARM's hardware virtualization features to run a lightweight Hypervisor to run these apps on top of ARM CPU almost faster than any emulation technologies. There's a reason Apple added Hypervisor to Lion, it wasn't just for supporting VMs via Mac App Store but I suspect to virtualize legacy apps on top of fast ARM chips.
> how can you tell that it is not self-aware ?

Let the algorithm run for a while and see if it starts asking itself existential questions on the nature of consciousness.
Ah I didn't know about his argument.

My definition of "magical" would be that neurons use some non-obvious/non-linear quantum effect that is required for mammalian(?) levels of brain function. (Neurotransmitters probably do use some quantum effects because of their nature)

Now I think consciousness happens at a higher abstraction level and is not necessarily dependant on lower-level implementation up to a point.
The way the analogy was explained to me when i was a student is that the conductor is a hose filled with water, when you open the valve the water comes out instantly at the other end because the "charge" is moving. It was never confusing to me.
Yes I mean using the sockets API instead of a higher level API.

IIRC, altruism doesn't advantage individual survival, but it does advantage group survival. Recent studies suggest altruism can allow genes to proliferate by preserving the ability of relatives to thrive and propagate, even if you, yourself, don't.

Arguably .NET and the CLR is "an entire VM in the runtime", too.
Jumping to the conclusion that everything a company does is calculated and delibarate is a mistake I see a lot of people make, but in this case it’s accurate.

In a business that operates at a scale of 100s of thousands if not millions of bottles sold annually, cents matter and can make up a significant portion of revenue.

With this in mind, there is a huge incentive to get people to buy sooner rather than later and more often. Forcing a small amount to remain in a used up bottle is definitely a benefit to the company even if the product is going to waste. This doesn’t include the cost of implementing something new. I’d imagine a company would do extensive survey based research to understand if the additional customer satisfaction would outweigh the costs/downsides.

If it’s not a conscious decision, it’s a nice coincidental benefit to them.

That's an interesting experience. I'd say that the idea people have about water in pipes is probably overly simplistic as well, and an analogy to an equally poorly understand concept can't help very much. To pick up your example about electron speed vs. signal speed: Water pressure is transmitted at the speed of sound, which is much, much higher than the speed of water flow -- water taps wouldn't work otherwise.
Probably slightly more useful than a Touch Bar, but still it's another over engineered solution looking for a non-existent problem.
No it's perfectly fine, I just meant I can imagine there are lots of other applications of the touch pad that are currently limited by this
Java has Optional<T> which is actually nullable, unlike the C++ std::optional (which is a value type, not a pointer). So even if it were nullable, it seems that people find value in expressing "This may not return a valid object, you need to check" as an actual object type is useful.

RMS has an annoying habit of being quite unreasonable and also, in retrospect, absolutely right.

Management is the obvious answer.

Or if you like to travel frequently, look at becoming a sales engineer.

Or do consulting, become self employed, start a company, etc.

Lots of options, but you have to find something that inspires you. Take another few months off if you can afford it, travel around, get involved in things that interest you in and out of the industry, engage in hobbies, eventually something will strike your fancy.
I feel like what I liked about open source, back in the 90s when I was in high school, was the concept and ideals around the GPL. Linux was my primary OS all through University. I wrote this about OSS a while back:

https://penguindreams.org/blog/the-philosophy-of-open-source...

I've worked for an "open source" shop that made no differentiation on licenses (GPL vs BSDL). They did a lot of consulting/contracting and although they did release OSS code, a lot of times it was for a project that died off or was deprecated. Meanwhile, Apple has actively been trying to remove GPL code from their OS.

I know Stallman does agree with support license based companies liked Redhat, but what are his opinions on Commercial vs Enterprise setups like Gitlab? (Even with Gitlab, the Enterprise version is open source; you just can't legally run it without a license ... which is an interesting model for sure).

The reasons RMS has for not liking Github have nothing to do with the recent MS acquisition.

If you read into the thread, it's quite non-sensical, RMS eg. says Github is evil because the license picker doesn't push his license strong enough, with just the wording he'd be happy with: "You've put your finger on the problem. The site leads people not to specify
explicitly whether it is [GPLv3] "only" or "or-later"."

I read into thread about 10 deep but I had to stop, my blood was starting to boil from the nonsense.

Mating has no reward to you other than how it makes you feel. The real benefit is to your genes which get to reproduce.

Altruism may improve your environment as well as that of your offspring. Such behavior could be genetically selected for even in species without a big enough brain to have "motives" with known rewards. Cooperation happens in all sorts of creatures.
