The thing is that the longer you wait, the harder it will be to migrate, as the codebase size grows (and once you leave beta, people assume that the language is finalized and won't be too happy being forced to refactor their code when Dart 3 comes out). But as it is, I doubt that the nice parts of Kotlin will ever make it to Dart.
Yep. Normal resale is fine and won’t trigger a ban, trying o circumvent the anti-piracy/cheating stuff will.

That's because svn merge is much closer to what a git rebase is than what a git merge is.
Glad to hear they're suing him. The interesting question is if he was hired by some outside agency to join Tesla to do this. He was only at the company for 3-4 months before "complaining of not getting a raise". That's a very short period of time. My bet is that is that's a lie to hide the real reason. Hopefully they get access to his call history to see what companies he communicated with.

Also shame on the author for Editorializing the title. The true article title is "Tesla sues ex-employee for hacking, theft, and leaking to the press"

Has anyone seen analysis of the likely outcomes of a major modern war, in terms of damage to people (deaths), capital (cities, infrastructure), and costs?

People who know far more of war than we do, the victors of WWII (who also participated in WWI), including Churchill and Roosevelt, saw warfare as the worst scourge of humanity, and feared that with 1945 technology - and not just nuclear weapons - another war would devastate civilization. That's why they built institutions and structures to prevent another one. Those included the rules-led international order (i.e., the rule of law), which banned war (with a few exceptions like self-defense), and the United Nations to provide a means of resolving disputes and, as much as possible, enforcing those rules.

If they feared devastation in 1945, what would happen with 2018 technology? Also, I fear Americans see war through the lens of WWII and the much smaller conflicts since then, where war was something that happens someplace else, watched from the comfort of your living room. War with China, even conventional war, would bring a rain of missiles and bombs down on American cities and infrastructure. Many militaries can attack or can develop the means to attack the U.S. mainland; even North Korea can do that now.

I've never seen analysis (i.e., serious research) of the actual costs and outcomes, information that seems essential to these issues, especially as the current U.S. administration and much of the GOP seem to embrace warfare as a legitimate option.
That's not QUITE it.

The issue is that everyone is insisting that there is a DIFFERENT "right" way. So of the 30 or 40 "right" ways in a group of 30 or 40 people, there has to be some system for settling on 1 "right" way. So what ensues, without anyone consciously realizing it, is almost an election. Where the group settles on one "right" way. And any holdouts are said to be difficult intransigent people.

It's a bit like a court jury. All 12 jurors actually have their own opinion. But over time, they select one opinion as the consensus opinion. The reason for selecting that opinion can be different for each juror, but any juror not accepting the consensus opinion would be considered a hold out. I'd even wager that the other jurors would just as soon not be on a jury with the hold outs in the future.

Having mentioned all that, the material point here is that every initial opinion in the group can be "wrong". The consensus opinion is only the opinion that the group promotes as its own. Being the consensus opinion doesn't mean that it's correct, anymore than being a dissenting opinion means that the dissenting opinion is correct. It's entirely possible, in fact oftentimes likely, that both opinions are "wrong".

Consider Electron if it shipped with only v8, wasm, and a builtin canvas-style buffer without the rest of the HTML trappings. You now have a UI platform that is safe, performant, and (most importantly) runs everywhere the same way.

The web is creeping closer to becoming a Java that actually works. In another decade, we will have come full-circle. Someone will have the "new" idea of adding a declarative layer (maybe with some XML-like syntax) that can be translated to canvas. While the few remaining old devs will remember, all the new devs will jump on this "emerging technology" and we'll start re-inventing anew.

And so the wheel turns....

My understanding of Adyashanti's teachings is that... the ego doesn't really go away. It is clearly seeing through the ego (that the ego is not the source of identity) that allows the egoic impulse to stop interfering with experience. That individuality does not go away with unity consciousness, and then there is "no-self", that is, no inherent self. I speak about Adyashanti's teachings, but I find this echoed in many teachers. It's just that his words seem to convey some of this better for me.

"Ego" is a fairly loaded word too. Most people don't use that word in the same sense that psychologists do, and psychologists don't have a consensus view on what ego means. In the vernacular, it tends to refer to pride, arrogance, and defensiveness.

I frankly don't get what the problem is. The tax reform was a given (Ms. Clinton was also talking about it). The borders thing was a given (Obama was already doing most of it, including separating children by the way), and as for the wall paid by Mexico ... I'm not seeing it, nor do I see the chances in a good light. The trade war with China ... again ... started by Obama, and Hillary was certainly not talking about rolling it back. So again this would have been a difference in degree at best, certainly not a turnaround (and euhm ... I actually agree with the trade-war. The situation with China for the past 10 years simply cannot continue).

With Trump the rhetoric changed quite a bit. But that's about it.
Partitioned tables and child tables are different things; I'd be surprised if 2nd Q is actually is working on support for child tables.

[1]. Although it'll be a pity. JS is stuck as a compilation target because it's a standard, and it's old, and even then wasm may one day take over JS. Flutter could have been a library, and one could have written in Go or Rust or Java with Flutter bindings. As it is now, I don't know if its possible.

Yeah, it seems pretty reasonable if this chain is convenient for you. I don't have theaters convenient for me so I don't tend to go out and would mostly rather watch at home anyway. But going to a few movies a month is hardly in compulsive movie viewing territory and a lot of people prefer to go to the theater for various reasons.

I'd be curious how much AMC thinks they'll make on the actual pass and how much on add-on business (subscriber bringing a guest, food & beverage).
> I like Marriott hotels in general.

IMO, you should stop supporting Marriott if at all possible. Google "marriott tibet tweet" and choose your outlet of choice (less about the specific firing and more about censorship cowering sans transparent statement). I also like Nestle candy in general, but try not to eat it.
I went and bought a Microsoft Surface Book 2 because I got sick of my 3 ~ year old laptop. I wanted specs close to my desktops so having a PCIE SSD is a must along with 16GB ram.

I got the laptop and during setup Cortana started talking to me and normally I'd turn all that off but I thought screw it let me try this out. I setup my whole system with voice minus a few sections like selecting the WiFi network and obviously typing in my password.

A few minutes after install Windows told me it signed me into my Skype in the background. So now if and when I do need to use Skype for a business call I don't even have to bother trying to log in. It doesn't try to force it to start so I'm happy.

On top of all of this I have WSL available to me and can use my favorite unix tools when I need to. I gotta say I probably wont be bothering installing Linux at all. That aside I gotta say Cortana worked pretty darn good, can't say I've has those kinda awesome experiences with Siri or Google.

Oh and for fun Cortana snuck some jokes into the setup process which were appreciated. Never do you normally get jokes from an OS during a fresh setup.
It's pretty normal for people to grow up in Buddhist/Christian/Muslim/Whatever culture not know much about that religion. I grew up in a Christian country as a nominal Christian but I know almost nothing about Christianity other than a few holidays and stories.
Meh... China has a living Buddhist tradition, and I've hardly ever seen anyone meditate at all – mostly people seem to approach is as a karmic quid-pro-quo to bring themselves good fortune and avoid illness. I'm not sure that's really a superior version of Buddhism.
Absolutely - use the simplest available approach first.
BTW the last few times I've checked in to a Marriott, the TV has been on, playing some kind of ad trying to sell me a temporary Netflix subscription or something. I find this incredibly annoying. I never use the TV in a hotel room, and I'd like to find a hotel chain that has no TVs in the rooms period.

That's been my experience also. It's kind of surprising given that I was able to replicate 90% of the functionality (that I normally use) for a Raspberry Pi project using only netevent[1] and netcat. Obviously cross-platform and international support (+ handling edge cases) would complicate things, but even in the most basic scenarios, Synergy has been terribly unreliable for me lately.

*High Growth Handbook: Scaling startups from 10 to 10,000 people*
I like having basic triggers like created_at/updated_at. No issues there... but tons of issues with 'inheritance'. There are a lot of limitations.
It is more that if people have the option of seeing a movie at a theater who accepts MoviePass vs a theater that doesn't accept MoviePass, they are likely to select the former.

So while they might not have been desperate before, being cut off from basically all MoviePass subscribers would not be good for business.
We would (we don't even use an ORM but find we have some relations that would benefit from inheritance), but lack of FK support kills it. Instead we either break out common fields to a separate table (which makes it difficult to enforce row constraints), or put all fields in a single table and make them NULLable (sometimes with a constraint to ensure the NULLs match expected usage).
JavaScript Koans: Learn JavaScript Through Practice
The "Net" in Netflix started as a site where you could rent DVDs, a service that, astonishingly, is still offered.

That was the barrier to entry: they had a customer base already paying them for content. MoviePass has no comparable moat.
You can just mail the mods and ask instead of asking a zillion people who almost certainly can't possibly know.

VS Code also uses canvas elements for their terminal. I suspect we'll see VS Code (and perhaps Atom as they mentioned it somewhere) moving the main editor window to canvas as well.

Overall, I think that's a decent trade-off. Most of the UI is quick, easy, and (potentially) extensible using HTML while the performance-sensitive parts move to what's basically a raw buffer.

>Yet a decade ago, people were happy paying $1000 a year for a cable subscription.

Many still do. Including myself but this will probably be the year I drop it even though I get no live TV otherwise.
Probably for a similar reason that they push their own app stores. You get used to using something, depend on it. After the lock-in period, they are in a much better position to offer you new services that you simply can't refuse.
I didn't know the definition of "puritan" had expanded to include "not willing to get orgasms from strangers in public"

Table inheritance is a non-starter for the stated use-case. Just don't. If memory serves me well even the Postgres docs recommended against using it for that last I read them. The only sane use-case of inheritance I'm aware of is when you're partitioning a table.
How do they plan to solve the hiring problem? I am curious.

> Is there any way to opt-out of having these in the room?

The ideal way, if it is an option for you, is to opt-out of that hotel altogether. Telling them why may be even better.
Even if yoga or meditation had diminished your ego (whatever you choose it to mean), would that make you less likely to answer affirmatively to a statement like, "Compared to the average, I'm relatively free from bias"? If you really were selfless, wouldn't you always answer "yes"? Or would you answer "no" because "the average" has no meaning once you realize oneness with everything? I'm not convinced it's a useful measure.

There may be other better questions on the inventory, but that's the example given in the article. I also noted that they didn't mention practitioners having scored higher on narcissism, but only on "self-enhancement". (I haven't read the actual study, so this could all just be bad reporting.)

So basically all Marriott hotels will be bugged for whatever host country they are in. I can’t see conducting sent I’ve business in them. Now they don’t have to bother doing targeted spying becuase now it’ll be everywhere.
Again, I am making a statement about what I think is the overall best system (for most people, most of the time; and admitting that it is imperfect while I'm at it!). In no way have I advocated for forcing that system on people.
Regarding the small aggregators, perhaps they shouldn't be aggregating, but rather producing their own content? It's a problem when a blog copies a Reuters or Associated Press article verbatim just to garner some ad views.
"Alexa, remind me next vacation never to stay at Marriott hotels ever again."

Where to draw the line is a matter of judgment for each business. All ethics and justice relies on judgment. No murderer knows whether they'll be sentenced to ten years or twenty, just as there is no list of exact crimes that will get you sanctioned by the UN.

So while I cannot answer your questions, I can point out that the UN human rights chief has denounced the ICE policy as "unconscionable". That seems like ample grounds to end a business relationship.

From my admittedly cursory look at D, I find nothing persuasive enough to get me to take it on and learn it when the chances of my ever using it are slim. I guess I'm just old school. It seems that every week there is a new language, framework, etc., and most of them are really not doing anything radically different. As a back end guy, I see most of the churn happens in the web dev world. I prefer old, stable, and very little churn, hence my continued love for COBOL in particular. I also like C++ and Python, but there is something fantastic about COBOL, sh, and awk, which are oft-used. I'm getting less and less enthusiastic about systems stuff now that I'm getting older and more into writing useful tools to help my guys. Call it an easy exit...
I guess the model works. In this case they had enough data to know which theaters are in trouble and could be squeezed. Someone ran the numbers and figured the lost to commission was less than the lost revenue.
