I'm genuinely interested wether this is a sarcastic submission or actually serious!
Educated guess: it's very hard.

A pipe that long would be subject to break down every time the earth moves a bit. Fixing said leak would requires stopping the use of the pipe completely.

As 300 C is not that a huge temperature, the energy to pump the water may also cost a lot compare to the energy you get out of it.

I'm not saying we should not try, but it seems a great challenge. And we don't have the motivation of creating an atomic bomb to drive it.

I've gotten annoyed enough to just copy the source from most of my extensions (located at `~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/`), remove the update stuff from the `metadata.json` and load them as developer extensions so they never update.

It's easy enough to update them + audit the code when something breaks. The hardest part is downloading the new code (.crx) without installing it, I had to write javascript I paste into the console. StackOverflow can unzip a crx by striping the first 306 bytes.

I forked Stylish v1.5.2 a year ago before I heared of Stylus, but I've no need to to switch since the original extension was pretty good.

The Google Knowledge Graph is the most successful (and centralized) vision of the Semantic Web there is. Hardly a failure.
thanks for asking! I researched a number of AI services to find something effective and affordable. The one I chose was http://aylien.com/ - you can make calls to their API with a URL, and it can extract concepts and tags, which I use on the articles.

OMG I do the same thing. First job out of college, I had a private office, bookcase, huge filing cabinet, everything. As my pay increases, my working conditions deteriorate. I hate working from home, though. I am now on the FI train (Financial Independence) so I can either take lower paying jobs and live partially off my savings, or do whatever I want. I also, of course, maximize my income. Making 4x what I was making back when I had my own office takes the sting off a little, you know? But still. Ridiculous.
I often wonder how much the environment the designers have to live in affect their designs.

With the nordics being very dark and cold for half a year or more, being able to operate the vehicle in limited visibility would be paramount.

Similarly, operating a capacitive touchscreen is not fun in -20C or colder.

Pretty cool! Small thing: you should use button tags for the examples – you're losing a lot of built-in accessibility by using div tags (for instance keyboard navigation).

How does these handle being applied to anchor (a) tags? Some times you want links to appear as buttons :)
They're solving a problem they introduced themselves eh?

Voice command: shout at car to make it cooler. Car doesn't understand. Shout at car to turn off radio so your voice command is clearer. Car doesn't understand. Take eyes off road to turn off the damn radio with the touch screen. Crash!

The button interfaces actually work 100% of the time. Voice command... lol...

If it's for your own personal use, I'd suggest Teeline Gold - The Course Book. Teeline isn't quite as efficient as Pitman or Gregg, but it's much easier to learn. It's essentially a progressive enhancement of standard handwriting and offers a useful improvement in speed even if you only partially learn the system. It's the standard method taught on British journalism courses, on the pragmatic basis that many journalists will primarily rely on digital recorders and won't get the full benefit from a more efficient but more difficult shorthand system.

Though it’s non-ionizing, there is a paper out there about DNA resonance at mmW and THz. So I suppose you can still get cellular damage.

So a single photon is not ionizing, but I can certainly generate plasmas with lots of photons at lower energy. So the whole point of ionizing radiation is that it can induce cellular damage without killing the cell? So this can’t be done with non-ionizing radiation, even though it can certainly ionize with average energy?
I don't understand why at all you would do this for a restaurant

What challenge is this addressing, what problem does this solve? Is there a problem to solve here?

I do assume there's a good reason for this, but as presented it seems like a very stupid waste of money.
> because it parses the same

Does not. One is addition, the other is in-place addition; they're different things and can behave differently. E.g. in "a += b" and "a = a + b", the former might not construct an intermediate object, but mutate the existing a.
Cheaper rent is definitely the driving factor in cities like NYC and SFO. But I think small private offices like those at Stack Overflow [1] don't really eat up that much more floorspace (maybe 1.5x-2x but then you need far fewer small conf rooms).

Saying "toughen up and use headphones" is such a dismissive response to noise that employers use. I'm extremely sensitive to noise distractions, and music is, for me, just as bad as coworker chatter. Even white-noise apps make me feel like I'm getting barraged with sound. I want "library quiet." It's amazing that "open office" workplaces don't generally have a policy to keep the space as quiet as possible so people can get real work done.
Even if the cave was closed from a gaseous perspective, there is flowing water. Gases dissolve in water, although not necessarily very quickly. Would the flow of water allow for CO2 to be removed from the space given a sufficiently large surface area?
Try sailing. No need to have an expensive yacht - a sailing dinghy or a humble daysailer will do. (In fact, the smaller the boat the more direct and intense the experience will be.) Older but perfectly usable small boats are surprisingly cheap. What you do need of course is a quiet stretch of water, preferably without too much other maritime traffic.
Read up a bit and have a try yourself, ideally on a smaller lake during a light breeze. Perhaps using a rented or borrowed boat first.

And if fiddling with sails is not your thing, or your area has only rivers but no lakes, canoeing can be very relaxing too. Today you can buy light but sturdy inflatable canoes made from hi-tech drop-stitch material that take just 10mins to deploy.

Of course, even when the risks are minimal, always think about safety - life vests etc., especially in case you take children with you.
Thanks for this post, stranger
Yeah I considered that but it doesn’t make much sense to change Python to be like that.

It’s fine like that in Scheme and the other Lisps in part because well that’s the way they always did it, but it’s quite different from how it is and has been in Python.

If they want Lisp in Python they should look into Hy.

All you have to do to get it to stop automatically installing random games without your permission is set a DWORD to 0 in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager\SilentInstalledAppsEnabled.

And people say that Linux is the OS that requires bizarre incantations to do basic things.
I'm constantly surprised at how much deployments cost. AWS makes it easy to spin up servers, so people do, and they have tens of machines sitting idle when one would do. It seems that people saw containers and thought "finally, each instance can easily have its own machine", whereas I've always thought of containers as tools for putting many things on the same machine.

I run a Dokku instance on a Hetzner server and it's been fantastic, I host 10-20 of my projects with thousands of daily users there without it even breaking a sweat. My only regret is that I should have used a single database instead of one DB per project, but I was lazy.

If one happens to need a new Macbook Pro at the moment, Apple haven't left a lot of options which don't have a Touchbar and a terrible keyboard. One can choose to delay an upgrade in many cases, but it's rather harder to choose to delay replacing a broken machine.

It's a shame because at one point the Macbook Pro was a machine almost without flaw.

And no, for some people getting a Windows or Linux machine simply isn't an option without a level of investment in new software that simply can't be justified. Apple have people over a barrel. All that vertical integration has led to some of the best computers ever made, but it also gets you in trouble when your chosen walled garden gets burned down.
not sure if you would classify it as a complex process, but I have a series of posts in my blog (link in my profile) that takes you from a bare metal box to a k8s cluster running on Xen on it: a lot of it is explaining how things work, so it is a bit verbose, but it hopefully should not be too hard to follow, given that it walks you through setting up Xen, then CoreOS, then etcd and finally Kubernetes it does take several posts...
I disagree. Every time an add on is updated in FF I get directed to the patch notes. RTFM.
Surface trackpads are pretty good (generally, anything with a large area that uses Precision Touchpad instead of Synaptics or other OEM junk is decent).
> Linux on the Desktop and FOSS in general, so projects which don't directly make money like Cygwin, gtk, gnome, gcc, and PulseAudio may be in danger.

People really should talk about this a lot more: Red Hat fund so much of the development of the basic components that the actual desktop environments rely on, as well as their support of GNOME: they have people working on everything from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to power management to graphics (Noveau driver, Wayland, Pipewire etc.) and audio. No other company seems to have the desire or the resources to fund these essentials at the level that Red Hat has done for many years.
The latest fad in luxury cars are switches that are actually touchscreens that look like physical switches, sometimes complete with haptic feedback.

Meanwhile in my old Mitsubishi switches rarely break, and if they do it'll cost a couple of dollar to replace it.

I love WFH. It helps that I have been happily married for many years, I have home cooked meals, more family interaction (well when I am working I am working but whatercooler conversations in your own kitchen are great). And I can literally work from anywhere, be it visiting relatives or travelling to Europe. I really hope I can continue like this for a long time; I might accept going back to the office - but it better be a real one.
Why do you assume that it's a waste of money? I guess it is a given that they operate some computer infrastructure in every venue, so you would have the same capex without Kubernetes and you would also need some kind of management, so you would also spend money on operations. So maybe it's not such a bad idea to use an off-the-shelf container management software to rollout and operate their containerized applications.

They've made backward incompatible changes within python 3's history, but none of the things you've listed are among them. Anything with ':='s, f'strings' etc. is invalid in python 3.0, so existing [working] code isn't affected.

With 2 vs 3 there were a large number of breaking changes, so effort spent adding new features to the 2.x lineage made sense. But if you're not able to get someone to update from 3.6 to 3.7 for dataclasses, is a 3.6.7 that supports them [but doesn't reserve 'async'] likely to be any different?

> Are you using features that are only available in the version of Python all your colleagues / users have access to? Are you using the latest version of Python and hoping your colleagues and users can upgrade to that version of Python?

If you have access our software, you have access to http://python.org -- that's never the issue.

For colleagues... everyone has 3.6.4-3.6.6 on their work computers unless they've actively prevented it.

We don't have anything using python for external users. If we did, I wouldn't want to assume that they already have python installed at all. I'd be inclined to look into PyInstaller for distributing that, and then we could depend on whatever version we wanted.
Allow me to address these one by one:

1. Have you worn a vr headset for any amount of time? They aren't nearly as cumbersome as you'd think. I've been playing plenty of VR games involving a lot of movement -- frisbee, paintball, etc -- never have I felt like the headset was impeding me in any way, aside from the odd stumble across the cable every now and then.

2. This is easily solved. HTC sells separate tracking dots you could very well stick on an actual golf club.

3. Close the door and move your breakables somewhere else ;)

AR doesn't really address any of these issues more or less than VR.
I have been doing some development on smart glasses. You have many choices like Ora which you can buy from there portal, vuzix. Especially, google glass can be bought from https://www.streye.com/.
Yup, I use gmail but I also use Yandex with my own domain. Google is the greater evil if I had to pick between them, Russia & China. Any data I give to Google is more likely to be used against me in the USA than the other 2.
Has there been any verification that Reddit is doing any sort of cross device tracking? Last I heard their ad platform was pretty bare bones, particularly on the tracking side.

I'm curious if they are selling anything to cookie onboarding and audience data vendors. Has anything been disclosed?
The new interfaces out of Garmin avionics are all touch screen based. They did wise up and add a knob and reference bumps around the screen. Still, scary to think I'd be looking at a screen when landing a plane outside of IFR flights.
What I've found is that each make of car has it's "way" of doing things. I've found that Toyotas have a consistent placement of controls, as do Hondas, but they are not the same to each other. I haven't driven enough other makes of cars to know definitively, and they can change between generations.

It may be a way to foster brand loyalty. I find Honda's way more intuitive, but Toyota's is fine, too.
Google Glass is just a tiny notification window. It's not what 99% of people think it is. I'm not sure where the communication broke down, but it seems a ton of people heard about Google Glass and thought it was going to be an AR headset that they'd wear all the time. It's just not that useful. It's worse than mounting an Apple Watch to your head.

>Article 13 has been the most controversial, requiring websites to enforce copyright, even on content uploaded by users. (emphasis mine)

This is laughable. Laws like the aforementioned shows how disconnected the lawmakers and regulators in the European Union (not that they're unique) are from the tech/media industry and general internet-using public at large.

Regulations like these could backfire real bad even with best of intentions from folks at the helm of regulatory bodies, who -- more often than not -- have scanty, if any, understanding of the how online social platforms work.
This is the way some Amazon offices are laid out more or less. Team areas seating 5-10 are "open areas" (with the stupid door-desk things inside) but have half- or full-walls between each team area. Most team areas have 1-2 doored offices for manager-types or some are used as a quiet space. Older implementations of this use those cubicle half-wall things between the team areas which is better than nothing. Seems like a nice compromise and lets each team decide how they want to balance the distraction-versus-collaboration equation.

> Mr Voss also rubbished claims of an "upload filter", saying the proposal would only affect 1%-5% of the internet. He also said the rules would apply to "only those that actually publish copyright protected content" and earn money from it.

The rubbish I see here is a man who doesn't understand the laws he's trying to push forward. All websites (for the most part) are trying to make at least enough money to keep running via advertising. Any website with a comments section (hey, this one included) would need to extensively monitor all posts by the public to ensure no one posts anything copyrighted.

What it will effectively mean is that many websites won't bother allowing access from the EU anymore. Already, I have to screenshot and email my sister in Britain recipes from a Canadian website that doesn't want to deal with GDPR. Imagine how difficult it will be when there's copyright liabilities from content you didn't know you were 'publishing'.
Probably no better off as I cannot see many frontend developers taking to Scheme like they had with Javascript. So we'd still have eventually ended up with something nasty just to appease the lowest common denominator. Here's a horrible thought: maybe VBScript would have become the de facto standard instead?
I wish employers could realize that they employ grownups and could at least be honest to them.

What about any time you're working with frequent adds/deletes in arbitrary positions, rather than just at the end of the list?

That's not a "niche algorithm" to me, but rather a reasonable use case. The add and delete operations should be faster than for the array case.

(Not that I actually use linked list much myself, but I mean I see the use of them.)

> some group tried to make a concurrent version of DOS

I think you really do not know much about the history of PC operating systems.

IBM licensed Digital Research's real-time OS, FlexOS, for its point-of-sale machines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlexOS

FlexOS is related to DR's Concurrent DOS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiuser_DOS

... which was the descendant of Concurrent CP/M, which was the offspring of CP/M-86, one of the 3 original OSes at launch for the IBM PC in 1981 (along with PC DOS and the UCSD p-System).

CP/M was the original industry-standard OS for 8080 micros. It is what MS-DOS is a knock-off version of -- MS-DOS was licensed from SCP, whose QDOS was a copy of CP/M.

"Some group tried," indeed. This is the original OS company, successfully trading and dominating the industry when Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Micro-Soft.

As Wildgoose says, it's a frequently-used initialism for the Design Patterns book, which is otherwise somewhat awkward to refer to concisely and unambiguously.
