It's strange, but I completely missed the last part about backup from your comment. I have no idea how I missed it. Had I seen it would make my comment redundant and I would have never replied at all.

I only saw that part of the comment much much later.
Wow if that’s possible on google cloud then I agree wholeheartedly.... don’t risk your business by using google cloud.

It depends on where you look and who you follow. Swifter.at became a refuge for sex workers and is one of the larger instances.

However, you can filter instances, and/or sign up on an instance that blocks switter users.

There is activity, especially if you sign up on a huge instance like mastodon.social (although I don’t recommend this). instances.social lists all active instances that you can peruse through.

As someone who spent almost half his career as a software engineer in automotive companies and the other half in a couple of large tech companies, I could completely understand why there is a high chance of this happening.

Most automotive companies are run like factories, including the hardware, software, and R&D departments, in a factory, the focus is more on the process than on achieving the “correct” results, which although might work great in a factory could be extremely hampering for innovation in development and technology teams.

If you ever wonder why infotainment systems in most cars are stuck in the 90’s UI it’s because it would take weeks to change a single line of code where it would need to go through multiple code reviews, get approved by people who’ve been using the same development tools for the last 20 years and consider IBM RTC as cutting edge, document every single thought that went through the developers head and mindlessly test the crap out of every possible combination.

The way tech companies operate is extremely data-driven, if it works and you have the data to back it up that is usually the end of the discussion. However, in process-oriented companies conformance to the established processes is what is usually valued, a statement that is usually echoed is that it’s more important to follow the process and produce incorrect results than not follow it and produce correct results.

For the last decades, automotive OEM’s have been bringing manufacturing processes to software development, my hope is that any tech company (and Tesla being one of them) would be able to bring agile software development practices to manufacturing.
we did this 1 month later. No effect.

We did a general 301. Not a product specific 301. Mistake?
Currently explicit formally verifiable proofs provide no value for most mathematicians apart from some specific fields.

This may gradually change if proof assistants and proof checkers improve. It may become to incorporate some machine learning aspects and let algorithms search proof space that is too tedious for humans. This would finally turn computer into bicycle for mathematician.
Does anyone have a TLDR on this? Their website doesn't make it clear what this technology actually is. My best guess so far is that it's a coin & smart contract platform like Ethereum.
"What is the significance of Nurburgring?"

It's a very long and very tricky track. It has everything: superfast sections, slow sections, steep uphill and downhill, bumps, banking, often wet. If a car does well on this track it will do well almost everywhere. It's called the "green hell". I don't think there is another track worldwide left that can compare.
She didn't say it was because she was a woman, in fact she explicitly says it was because she was the only non-technical cofounder.

I don't see in what area it should have an advantage over a car with a gas engine.
I don't see how there is going to be a market built (we are talking about a five or ten year timespan here to build a semiconductor factory) around a trade barrier created by a tariff where nobody knows how long it will be in effect. Would you bet dozens of millions of dollars to create a production of already existing, cheaper produced products to supply a market created by tariffs? How easy would it for the next administration (or the current) to drop these tariffs? What about your investment then?

Which sane person would make such an investment?
"if we had UBI, everyone would become a scientist"

But then if everyone became a scientist (or whatever else they wanted to do) living off UBI, then where would the UBI come from?
If you’re taking the LSBs of those readings, measuring it using another instrument at any distance from the machine would be useless. (Audio) noise and temperature are very noisy inputs.
Perhaps. However, EU legislation only covers a limited number of areas, mostly to do with trade and standards. With a few additional areas such as migration within the EU itself.

That is, it has limited impact on purely national matters, or military or foreign affairs.
If the police are lacking in criminals to lock up I can suggest a few thousand in various northern cities that they've been refusing to investigate for 10-15 years.

Best I can tell: smart contracts like Ethereum, except the protocol has means for amending the protocol itself? So, meta-Ethereum?

I don't disagree that it would be great & all. But there's things working against it, that software doesn't really have to deal with (or at least has solved) is my point.

And let's be honest, a state of the art block ported to the latest process isn't going to be 40 man-hours to customize, you're probably looking at more like a couple man-years unless it's very well designed... Which is why reusable core shops are a viable business. And how vibrant of an open source community would you have, if it took a small team a year just to customize & implement the open source design to their application? You would have very few users.

Now, you could argue that because a lot of the real work is in the customization that they could open source the core. But where does the customization end, and the core, the root functionality begin?

I think a more realistic pitch would be an open source testbench or behavioral model that verifies your core is fully spec compliant.
Thank god. Because the one thing Ethereum was missing was more complexity.
I'm a bit curious about this, I am a video game developer (3d console games) and hexagon coordinate systems don't strike me as being awesome. Reading through the article you linked to confirmed my suspicion that there would be a great many possible parameterizations, and it seems like the kind of thing that wound cause a lot of confusion amongst developers, much like Euler angles do. I had hoped that the article would start with some kind of motivation section describing why one would be willing to suffer such horrible inconveniences, but the article got too far into the not gritty before explaining the benefits (I stopped reading half way through so maybe it was buried in there somewhere?)

I know that they are associated with rpg board games and therefore have found their way in to 2D RPG video games as well. I can see a slight advantage to using them on a board game situation where it would make it more accurate to estimate diagonal distances by counting tiles, but in a computational situation where your box can compute the Pythagorean theorem a few million times a second, the benefit of using hex systems in games eludes me.
One suggestion is to also do your own survey somewhere in the middle of the course. Each group of students is going to be somewhat different and getting feedback early so you can adapt to that particular group is invaluable. Importantly, if you do this, the survey should be incredibly short. One suggestion I got from my father which I tried the last time I was teaching was basically these three questions:

1) What should I keep doing?
2) What should I stop doing?
3) What should I start doing?

The goal here is not detailed feedback, but a high response rate that will give you enough data to course correct.
Sounds like you're proposing a framework, just one that people write themselves. I'll be interested to read your piece though, I'm curious to know how ES6 makes things like state management simple.
Smart contract blockchain with 1) on-chain governance and 2) a formally-verifiable language for writing the smart contracts.

People are excited about the launch both because of what it is, and because it already had a lot of people contribute to a fundraiser a year ago.
It's a an ocaml-flavored coin promising to solve "governance" problems. It has naturally suffered a lot of governance drama related to colorful personalities involved.

The USA is about 30x Finland's size by landarea and building data is primarily stored at the county or equivalent level of government (3000 of those). Imagine munging data from 3000 different counties, each with their own standards and systems of recording.
I just asked several friends, all millennials, if they thought snapchat use was declining among their friend groups (semi disparate), and all said no and were surprised I asked. Obviously a biased sample, but just another data point.

If you're doing something this mission critical, you have to have an SLA with your cloud provider.
You'd probably be surprised to hear that a PRNG is a requirement rather than an economy thing. The behavior of the machine is supposed to be deterministic and an actual random number generator would not be and hence could conceivably pay out less than the legal minimum for an extended period of time, leaving the casino owner then position of having to say it's 'random chance' that the customers aren't winning enough.

Https protect the information both ways. It protect the data you upload but also the data you download. Thanks to https you can verify that the data you recieve and is displayed by your browser is the one that was sent by the server and it hasn't been modified by any of potentially multiple intermediaries between you and the server.

The way the Internet works, it will try to find a way from you to the server you are trying to contact, it doesn't guarantee you that you will pass only through trusted intermediaries.

There are some stories of ISP changing http content to add advertisement or changing images for "lighter" one.
If it takes weeks then you should choose a second provider where you can show up with your backup hard drives or whatever you use and plug them in. Moving data physically is an option.

Show HN: Purl – Command Line URL Parser
Put an electron halfway between the screens. It is subject to a force F directed toward the positive screen, so it accelerates in that direction. Once it's through the screen, the force changes sign, but quickly drops to zero (for infinitely large screens, it is exactly zero everywhere outside the space bounded by the two screens). The work done by the electric field is

W = F * d / q

where

d = distance from the electron's start position to the positive screen

q = the electron's charge

All this work is now kinetic energy carried by the electron, so we also have

W = (m_e/2) * v_e^2

where

m_e = mass of the electron

v_e = final speed of the electron

Therefore,

v_e = sqrt( 2 * F * d / (m_e * q) )

If we repeat the experiment with a proton, it accelerates in the opposite direction, toward the negative screen, and its mass m_p is larger, but other than that it all goes as with the electron; the absolute values of q and F (which only depends on electric field strength and q) are the same. So,

v_p = sqrt( 2 * F * d / (m_p * q) )

Divide the two equations to get

v_e / v_p = sqrt( m_p / m_e )

Momentum is conserved, so we also have

M * v + m_e * v_e - m_p * v_p = 0

where

M = mass of the screens (and rest of the spacecraft)

v = speed gained by the screens (and rest of the spacecraft)

and the minus sign accounts for the opposite direction of travel of electron and proton. Use the expression for v_e / v_p to eliminate v_p, solve for v, and find

v = (sqrt(m_p / m_e) - 1) * (m_e / M) * v_e

In numbers, m_p ~ 1837 * m_e, so

v ~ 41.86 * (m_e / M) * v_e

and Zubrin's argument is essentially correct.
That's exactly the reason why they use PRNGs.
This sheds some light on what I observed on my one visit to Montreal, which was that there were signs everywhere reading "a louer". I thought it was a bit unusual that so many apartments should be in need of tenants at once.
Temporal Coupling and Immutability
I've noticed a steep drop in the quality of results I receive from Google without the extensive use of search operators. Especially for politicized topics, I feel like I'm constantly fighting the search engine for access to a more diverse and useful spread of results.
This has become such an issue that I've moved over to searx.me (meta-search engine) for the majority of my searches. While there are some edge cases where I have to move over to google (mostly image search), I feel like the results I receive from it are broadly superior to the ones I'm receiving from Google alone.
Back in the 2000s I was probably the only one in my friend group who had any sort of presence on the internet. There was no way I could convince any of my friends to start a blog or join LiveJournal. Even sites like Flickr was a stretch.

Instead there were some old ICQ accounts that no one used anymore, and occasionally someone would send out a group email with some photos attached.

And then it's 2007, Facebook appears out of nowhere, and suddenly all of my friends are sharing like mad on the internet, as is everyone else.

My first impression was that this is great. Finally my friends are on the internet. Facebook is like Internet for Dummies. Six months later I would deactivate my Facebook account.

I do miss LiveJournal though, or at least the idea of it.

Your other comment is about how it can provision and deploy things. While true, it's unrelated to my point that that's the least of your problems in a multi-cloud world.

One of my lecturers dies a short recap with questions related to the previous lecture which are examples of what may be asked doing the Oral exam.(if you do that.) and there is the small detail that they aren't posted anywhere or handed out. So you have to attend the lecture and follow to get use. If you want to see some of his material Google "imada jamik" and his page should be the first. He recently did a DBMS course and I have the questions if you'd like to see.
Yeah i thing a watershed was back when movies were added to the Android Marketplace (later renamed Google Play).

This coincided with Android getting a much more restrictive permission regarding removable media (under the label media storage permissions), that made it impossible for non-system apps to write to removable storage (sd cards, usb sticks, etc).
People's minds have a limit to how much information they can retain. Pushing new information in comes at the expense of pushing other information out. Computer science isn't limited this way because every simplified property of mathematics is retained mechanically. If a property is created that is invalid, computation ceases to be computation. Minds on the other hand, aren't so limited, but that doesn't mean that what they produce is rigorous (or correct, with respect to the context they've been defined in).

I agree with you, if that's not clear. I don't understand your law analogy precisely, but I'm assuming in a general sense you mean 'human defines rule set, rule set retains it's properties provided that humans continue to enforce rule set'. To my mind, that is so open to variation, my brain may begin to attack itself. Humans can 'make sense' of anything. Computation needs to be able to do what it does regardless of whether a human is there to provide input and verify it 'makes sense' to the mind that defined it.

Universe turning into paperclips, sure, but the fact that a set of properties can be used to recreate themselves through their own definitions, that's beautiful, that's computation, rigor. These are things I used to love about math, but computer science just does math better than math does.
It has to be a little dry if you want it to contain hard facts and actual content. That's my take on it. Engaging your brain and follow along a hard lesson really is tiring and at times dry.
This car that just beat the record is a hybrid and it was capable of improving accelerations out of curves due to direct torque. I'm doubtful a roadster could do anywhere close to this car's speed around the track but I'm convinced an all electric car could break this record. We might even see it happen with a self-driving electric car in the next few years.
I don't use staticaly typed languages (nowadays I'm trying Dart though, for Flutter). My main languages are Elisp, Perl, Python and Ruby. And some Posix shell. I'm a fan of Lisp.

WRT keyword, I think that's a bug, not a nuance. This is the doc:

> Returns a Keyword with the given namespace and name. Do not use : in the keyword strings, it will be added automatically.

Nowhere does it say it returns sth. else than a keyword. Following is the doc for "intern" from Emacs Lisp, which does a similar job and signals "wrong-type-argument" with improper input:

---

intern is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.

(intern STRING &optional OBARRAY)

Return the canonical symbol whose name is STRING.
If there is none, one is created by this function and returned.
A second optional argument specifies the obarray to use;
it defaults to the value of ‘obarray’.

---

So it does what it says or fails otherwise. This sort of error handling and streamlined, nice debugging is the best part of interactive programming; otherwise it's just Java with a lot of parentheses.

Handling non-standard arguments in intuitive ways can be useful indeed, but not so if they are accidental, possibly working due only to implementation details, and undocumented.
There is evidence from the Police themselves to suggest official figures should be taken with a pinch of salt:

Hm, in that case you don't need to appeal to split_at_mut--reborrowing is sufficient to demonstrate that point. I think what czwarich is saying is more subtle--that restrict allows "multiple readers, exclusive writer", which means that both shared pointers without UnsafeCell and mutable references in Rust are restrict in this sense, while &mut is more restrictive.
While I was on sabbatical:

7am - Wake up, eat breakfast, check email, help get daughter ready and walk her to school

9am - Back to sleep

2pm - Wake up again, shower, eat lunch, check email. Possibly coffee with friend or colleague.

4pm - Time to pick daughter up again!

4-6pm - Play with kids, eat more, check email

6-8pm - Read news and social media, get depressed

8-9:30pm - Help get kids ready for bed

9:30pm-4am: NOW it’s time to do some research!!! Tools: pen, paper, sofa, LaTeX editor, and sometimes web browser to look up papers (but this last tool is extremely dangerous and can lead to procrastination)

4am - Collapse

Being back in Austin and teaching will severely affect the above hours. But in any case, it’s not like I consciously decided on them, as part of some plan to maximize productivity (!!) - this is just what I fall into when I don’t have other obligations.
If lectures are only treated as talking heads, you might have a valid point. However, I think lectures ideally involve a lot of interaction between students and the lecturer which you can't get with pre-recorded material.
What are popular multi cloud solutions if you use AWS or GCP services that have proprietary APIs? Are there frameworks that paper over the API differences?

Google does execute JavaScript but as best people can tell it doesn't happen all the time, just periodically. It would be computationally expensive to do this for every request on every spider view for every web site.
Soft skills != being nice

Soft skills most essentially involve communication. “Being nice” is a much wider umbrella which includes reciprocation of many things not limited to: dignity, consideration, morality, mutual respect, agency and comradery. When we treat the former as the whole of the latter, the structure breaks down. It may not be obvious, and the damage might be displaced out of sight, but the point I’m trying to make is there’s nothing “nice” about making that mistake.

(While the success of soft skills will usually depend on other types of skills, “soft skills” nonetheless is essentially limited to interpersonal communication skills.)
It should be trivial. It should be standardized.

It is absolutely bizarre that we need to rely upon commercial companies to map things like streets and buildings when this is very accurately tracked by government. In an ideal world OSM data grids could be delegated to the appropriate governments, where it could have perfect precision with changes, street closures, one ways, redirects, etc.
Then you can also insert your own JS say to do even worse things....
Most of those subsets of math are relatively new and grew alongside or developed into computation (in fairly quick succession, in comparison to the history of mathematics). In addition, those fields are still actively being worked on as there are still problems that can not be resolved with mathematics alone, and much of that rests on computer science being able to retain much of the structure of mathematics without reinforcing foundations that are problematic or open problems. The mind that sees those problems in computation is a mind that is looking for problems because it is comparing computation to knowledge of mathematics, when there is actually a union between the two that can be provably demonstrated to be built from a foundation that is purely calculable / computable.
