There were more child deaths certainly which brought down the average considerably. But if you survived childhood the life expectancy wasn't that much different.

And that's why using the average to compare is bad.

Can KDE do something about touchpad support whist the underlying X and kernel support for the hardware is absolute rubbish? It was a while ago I used KDE, but from what I can remember there was no option to fine tune touchpad behaviour.

I like that under Linux you have a freedom of choice when it comes to window managers. KDE, Gnome2-3, XFCE, Cinnamon, you name it. It's awesome to have so many tools for one problem.

Hell, I even liked Unity. I think it was a very clean and easy to use wmanager.

But no matter how fancy-ass the wrapping is, if the problem is underneath it.

Kind of tangential, but I've always liked to think of memory as "predicting the past". I think we experience time in the direction that we do because it's easier to predict what's going to happen in the direction of less entropy. Given our current state, it's much easier to reconstruct what our state in the negative time direction must have been, as opposed to what our state in the positive time direction will be. Basically, our memory and our experience of time has a direction specifically because of entropy.

Having heard the hype about this famous breakfast I have to admit to being a little underwhelmed when I experienced it myself, so ymmv. Apart from that my trip to Eastern Turkey was brilliant and as with others I wholeheartedly recommend it. So much amazing history and scenery, friendly people, easy travel. I'd suggest it's safer with at least two of you and I'm not sure I'd visit Diyarbakir area if I went again now. Van castle is amazing. Kars and Ani are worth a visit. Take immodium with you. Don't mention the Armenian genocide.

Have you looked at EBU subtitle standards? https://tech.ebu.ch/publications/tech3390

A collegue of mine is heavily involved in them and gets very animated in championing them. It all sounds very interesting when he talks about them, however it doesn't tend to stick in my mind.
Note that while the temperature rockets up to 1000C in the upper atmosphere (thermosphere), it's offset by the decrease in density: almost a thousand-fold between 100-150 km.

High temperature is not the same as hot. Those particles have a high temperature which means they're moving around a lot (crude estimate from conservation of energy: v = √kT/m). When you touch a "hot" thing, the heat you feel is all those particles bumping into your body. So in the upper atmosphere those particles might be very excited, but the low density means there isn't sufficient heat transfer to burn you.

EDIT: There are other interesting considerations. Rocket controllers use precise atmospheric models to know when to throttle down/up during a launch. There is a point called maximum dynamic pressure (max Q) where the stress on the airframe is maximised due to the speed of the vehicle and local air pressure. On Shuttle launches you hear the controllers call out "Go at throttle up" to let the pilot know that it's safe to punch the engines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em-Krwbn25A

You should be able to get insurance for your insurance. So when you need insurance and it doesn't pay out. Then that insurance company can go after the first one without having to resort to twitter or medium to shame them.

This is a missing detail here. Microsoft created around the Win8 timeline a specification for what they call "Precision Touchpad". The surface and e.g. the Dell precision use it. The vendors jumped it as well, but industry like always is super slow adopting.

The key is to support that spec.

Hmm... Seems very speculative. I think you'd need some more evidence before concluding this is a calendar that you can interpret.

That said, the entire site is of interest to those interested in flood myths. It was an active site during the period when climactic disasters and floods were happening. Ice melted. Seas rose. The nearby black sea was expanding, and eventually spilled into the aegean. This is also (intriguingly) the date plato gave for atlantis' destruction.

In my experience this often means that management is not measuring the right things or that the engineering team is super junior and not empowered to influence strategy.
It depends on your workload. If you are using all these cores (ex: compiling) then that's probably the best option.

If you are gaming however, 32 core is mostly useless and you should probably go with single thread performance. Intel i5 are still the CPUs of choice for gamers, though AMD Ryzen 5 are not bad either.
For another famous conlang, there's a cool video where Mark Okrand discusses the process of inventing Klingon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Did-eVQDc

(He also briefly talks about the Vulcan language at the beginning.) What's interesting here is that he was brought in for the third Star Trek movie. But there was already a small amount of spoken Klingon in the first movie, created by James Doohan. So Okrand, while he was tasked with actually inventing the language, felt constrained by continuity. He discusses trying to rationalize the preexisting bits and then extend the language coherently.

(And his enthusiasm is really clear. It's fun to listen to someone smart talk about something they're really excited by.)

This is exactly why we need to escape the mentality of sensor fusion and make our robots reliable just based on optical data. Then they would be susceptible to attacks that would affect humans too.

>I would like to have better evidence that these parts weren't just done by an adult, because without it, this boy is arguably a once-in-generation genius, and that is an extraordinary claim.

Hardly. Such photorealistic portraits are impressive, and very impressive for a 13 yo boy, but nothing "extraordinary" to achieve, and much less a sign of an "once-in-generation genius".

The right technique, many hours devotion, and starting from around 6 would get similar results to most kids -- like tons of kids at 13 can play Chopin on the piano, and are not "once-in-generation geniuses", but run of the mill tiger-mom kids...

Sounds like it overlaps a great deal with Polish breakfasts. Lots of cold sliced meats, cheeses, vegetables, breads, preserves, etc, with some variation. A friend from college who grew up in Kansas once visited and remarked on it. That may have been when I first became acutely aware of the difference between the typical Polish breakfast and its American counterpart.

Better crypto support in platform-agnostic Swift is definitely #1 on my wishlist. On macOS/iOS you have Apple's libraries to provide cryptographic support. However, for server-side Swift running on Linux, your options are pretty much reduced to wrappers around OpenSSL. I'd love to see more formal cryptographic and security libraries for Swift. While Java's JCE definitely has its flaws from a design perspective, something along those lines for Swift would greatly enhance its viability for enterprise software, or other applications where security is of paramount concern.
Mid 2014 MBPr here. Got it the day after it came out for about $1000 after winning the Best Buy coupon lottery. I haven’t had a single thought of replacing it since. Its battery still lasts me all day, the laptop hasn’t slowed down on me, and is still completely silent. I’ve dropped it plenty of times and I’m getting a bit suspicious of how much longer it’ll last me. I’ve fallen in love with it though and I really hope I won’t have to replace it anytime soon.
you don't know what's gonna make the final cut though. Stuff like language creation is super early on in the process at which point you're trying to engineer a system for success.
It makes sense because you don't know what you're gonna end up with and overshooting is better than missing.
I'm not looking for an apology. I just would like to not have to guess that the noise reducing technology is actually meant to keep debris out. Just treat me like an adult and say so.
"Implies" means it doesn't have to be spelt out -- it can linger below the surface.

And whether implied or not, it's a legitimate question to ask. E.g. if the kid was asian would as many have the same suspicion given the same evidence (or lack thereof)?
I tried a MacBook touchpad in the Apple store and I didn't get what the fuss was about. It has that annoying feature where when you click the cursor freezes for some period of time, which stops you clicking on multiple things in quick succession. It didn't feel any more precise to me in terms of pointing. I realise it has gesture support that works in close harmony with OS features, but just in terms of pointing and clicking it was nothing special.
Deflection from Brexit most likely. Chance of it actually happening, I would say around 0.1%. There'll be no money for anything except airlifting vital food and medicines around once hard Brexit takes hold.

Yes, I would be. I'm sure many people would still be skeptical.

Why Developers and Business Leaders Are Going Cloud Native
I tried for a while, and running it natively really hammered the battery, got nowhere close to the same uptime as when running macOS. Running it in a VM was OK on battery, but of course there's CPU/RAM overhead, and the trackpad _feels_ nice, but it still doesn't quite move in the right way.
Top 7 Team Management Software for Small Teams
I prefer touchpads because the travel time to them is much lower. They also are always in the same place. I can even use them with my thumb while leaving my fingers on the home row.
The psychology is fascinating. I worked at a place with a heavily customized fork of a vendor system which was almost old enough to drink. They had a stable of developers in an increasingly uncommon language, upgrades were year+ exercises with hefty consulting bills, etc. but most of the management were convinced that this was the easiest option because everyone was used to it.

My Dad once complained that my sister never called him.
She pointed out that "The phone lines go both ways you know."
I thought about that too, if he passes 6 times (and I've passed 6 times) I know that he has at least 6 (and he knows I have 10 or 12), so I pass a 7th time, and he passes a 7th time too. So now I know he can't have 6 therefore he has 8.

The way to overcome this is to write milestones into the smart contract that unlock additional funding after the milestone is hit in a given time period.

The issue with today's ICO is that the market demand is so high it would be silly for groups to leave money on the table. Just like bands leave money on the table because the value of their tickets > the price they sell them at.

Many people on the buy side who get in early to ICOs are essentially scalpers whereas the people who run the project usually have no business raising the funds they do in their first round.

Milestone funding would solve both of these issues.
I think it depends on where you live and what kind of insurance it is.

In Canada I've had zero problem making claims against health, dental, car, and home insurance. But pet insurance dragged their feet every step of the way on a very obviously valid claim. Definitely have no evidence but my first Avenue of thought is that pet insurance is probably less regulated.
Your government uses PDF? My dear Britons, you're have it easy. The Italian government and Italian local administrations make massive use of MS Word documents, and I'm not talking about .docx, but the old, venerable, write-once-broken-everywhere Office 97 .doc. So, I wouldn't complain that much, because it could be much, much worse, especially when you have to fill up a 20-years old form that does not render anymore on any modern word processor. Oh, well.
How does this compare to https://plus.codes/? I know that people (maybe just one) on the google maps team came up with plus codes for similar use cases.

"However, some earlier phase of the production pipeline used a fixed-size buffer for storing object names and would shorten any longer names, keeping only the end and helpfully adding a few periods to show that something had been lost: “…year/LeftArm/Hand/IndexFinger/Knuckle2”.

Thence, all of the object names the renderer saw were of that form, the hash function hashed all of them to the bucket for ‘.’, and the hash table was actually a big linked list. Good times. "

Can you make `$ git branch` fast? Because it takes 5-10 seconds for me on linux.
The idea of putting ssds in memory dimms isn't new, the jedec standard for this is included in ddr3. It's referred to as an nvdimm(-f for SSD), sandisk and IBM both produced and sold them. These are supported since Linux kernel 4.1 and show up as a block device in /dev/pmem. The latest optane variants are nvdimm-p and are not treated like block storage devices but instead as persistent memory to the OS.

The storage dimms have some notable benefits over pcie nvme ssds - latency to the processor is extremely low, they give extra total storage I/O since they're leveraging a different controller on the cpu with its own bandwidth, while still leaving pcie bandwidth for traditional storage. They can add capacity to a small system (a 1U server can hold 24 such ssds)

As I see it though, these optane dimms are just fast swap drives which do not offer the same consistent throughput as true memory dimms. They are transparent to the OS which is normally in charge of deciding what stays in memory and what goes to swap. Use of an Intel sdk is required to leverage much of the benefits. It's also Intel-only as far as support goes for now. As usual the marketing doesn't mention the throughput or pricing and instead of comparing to memory they compare it to storage.

TBH I'd also worry about environmental concerns scuppering it.
Ha!

As far as I can tell, this "me" and that "you" exchanging thoughts right now, are one offs, a delicate state, aware.

One day, cloning, assumung we can do it in a non destrucrive way, and I am not convinced that will ever be true, would make another one.

That one will diverge quickly from us as it's experiences would differ.

I am not convinced it is possible to avoid that happening either.

The transporter is such an interesting idea! But, using it would have to come with a bit different idea and acceptance of identity.

The idea of a "me" continuing on, doing what I would have done, is plausible. The shared experiences make for a reality, also shared.

That is where identity would lie.

To understand if we are talking to a Kirk, post transport, our validation would basically be done with what is known, shared among those asking the question.

It is all like sleeping, only to wonder if the same person awakens.

In terms of a body holding a state, stream of experiences, yes. But, in terms of that person, as in would they pass the "talking to Kirk?" test, perhaps not.

Ever meet someone after a coma, or even long surgery and experience a lack of congruence? Does not always happen, but it can.

That is an example of that state being changed, yet the stream of experiences remaining intact. (As much as it can during times of long sleep, coma, and so forth)
Getting terribly wasted in general is probably worth avoiding.

I'll volunteer 2 months full-time development for free, with a few conditions.

- I'm looking for a job in New Zealand, Australia, or Canada. Not Seattle (sorry Bill). I'd stop job hunting to work on this, so someone else will have to find me a job.

- I'd develop for the MacBook Pro 2014, because that's my hardware. Only one Linux distro (probably Ubuntu).

- Weekly check-in emails (maybe twice a week). A plan set out at the beginning with the deliverables for each week.

Am I qualified? No idea. Currently I work at OSE, a microSD card manufacturer in Taiwan, where I've bit-banged control systems protocols and done big data analysis. The closest side project I did to this is KeyMouSerial, which logs keyboard & mouse movements on my laptop, sends them to an Arduino, which behaves like a keyboard for a Raspberry Pi.

I'm disillusioned with Apple now, and wanting to hop to Linux. I also want to port iTunes and AppleScript, though I think there's less demand for those two.

It's a good joke, but kind of a mediocre parable. The thing is, I don't think anyone would disagree that, all else being equal, living in a small fishing village, sleeping late, etc., would be better if you were a millionaire.

On July 7, investigators identified a man whose behavior and M.O. matched the description of the suspect in the four assaults, Commander McEachern said.
