Using perl exclusively for web development, I was quite lucky when I switched to the very immature ( back then ) NodeJS.

I remember how happy I was and how fast I was able to run and develop anything ( compared to Catalyst ). Still, being a very big fan of Perl, unfortunately have to state that having a Perl job would already be a step backwards in my career.

Perl served it's purpose when CGI scripting was considered normal web server, but nowadays golang, NodeJS + TypeScript are having way bigger community than Perl and they feel "modern" compared to even Perl6.

But if you have to target multiple browser brands, that's probably not a practical solution. A JavaScript library is more likely to be consistent across browsers. I don't like relying on 3rd party JavaScript gizmos, but it may be the least of evils.
I highly doubt that the extra surface area is worth the poor quality an most likely comfort of the improvised mattress. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t buy into all expensive mattresses being better than cheap ones, however, crappy mattresses do exist, I have experienced plenty, and they still all looked better than this.
I still use a lot of Perl one-liners, but I moved on to Go instead of Python because I needed more speed/efficiency for crunching through lots of data. There isn't enough difference between Perl and Python on the performance front (unless you use packages with C under the hood).

I wonder how much of that work would be generalizable through specialized neural nets: https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.00403
Yeah, I dunno why it never took off, though Meyer was one of the few to star the repo, so I thought that was nice. I was never able to get much traction on my extension either, though some people did port it to every browser, which was also nice.

Of course it's not optimal. But consensus mechanisms resilient to Byzantine attack are an active area of academic research, and traditionally they've all required all nodes to hold the complete state. Bitcoin's contribution was a new method that scaled to a much large number of nodes and didn't require a known set of nodes; the tradeoffs were low throughput, long latency, and offering only probabilistic finality.

But it wasn't Vitalik who created that; what he did was extend it into an application platform. That platform is working, with live applications including decentralized exchanges, Maker (stable currency and collateralized loans) and Augur (prediction market with decentralized bet resolution).

Sharding is one of the main things he and the research team are working on now (along with proof of stake). The current design uses 4000 shards, so unless you consider 1/4000 to be a large subset, it would answer your objection if they manage to get it working.
I naturally like to conserve energy and eat sugar but I can motivate myself to move and eat healthy to the point it becomes more natural.

>SpaceX's failure rate is in line with industry norms.

SpaceX's 93% launch success rate is still below average for ALL launches (94-95%), and has a higher incident rate than its "competitors" in any form. That's what was asked. You don't need to apologize for SpaceX.

Some of the rockets in your "thorough" have radically different missions, specifications, and costs than the type of rockets we're discussing. Let's talk about what we're actually comparing. Orbital launch rockets actually beat "industry" averages by a signification margin. And let's talk about failures, unrecoverable ones.

* Altas V (actually built by Lockheed Martin, not ULA): 98% successful launch rate.

* Delta (entire family): 99% success rate across the ENTIRE family.

* H-IIA: 98% success rate

* Araine 5: 98% success rate.

* Long March (entire family): 98-99% success rate.

See a pattern? All of the above families have mission histories of 100+ launches.

>the author here attributes nonconformities at all three EELV contractors — including ULA and Aerojet Rocketdyne — to SpaceX

No they didn't. Are you just purposefully misreading the article?

>The first is an evaluation of quality controls among launch-vehicle suppliers to the military space program.
>at contractor sites.

Beyond reading comprehension differences, I am not interested in willfully misrepresenting basic facts as some sort of intellectual jerk off exercise. SpaceX is below the industry average and way below the launch success average for the type of work they're doing. That's what the OP asked.
Amount of gold aside, it looks like the Dmitrii Donskoi sank during or around the battle of Tsushima, having sailed all the way from the Baltic, and around the Cape of Good Hope, in one of the most ignominious and infamous fleet movements in history.

In theory that's a huge problem. In practice we have 1.X billion miles of data and it does not seem to be such a huge deal. Either the systems are already fairly good, or people mostly pay attention.

Granted, I am approaching this from the perspective of a more relaxing driving experience not necessarily from a pure safety standpoint. People spend 20,000+ hours driving in a lifetime making that less stressful is a huge benefit even if they are still stuck in their cars and can't get work done.

EU's charges are a sham. I hope Google gives the EU regulators exactly what they deserve:

Google should outright stop licensing Android to manufacturers in the EU (like Apple), make the OS closed source (like Apple), disable side-loading apps (like Apple), purposefully make the mobile browser incompatible with W3C standards (like Apple) in an effort to drive developers & consumers to the app store, and slap a minimum price tag of $1000 on Pixel phones (like Apple).

Maybe then, the true value of choice will sink in.

This is great. Most of the info I got on Slack came from Feistel's Lucifer paper, which opens with a short history of iterated (and "product") ciphers. The Germans had a product cipher, ADFGVX, in 1918, but the technology wasn't there to make the design secure.

It does give Samsung the ability to not include Google Play Movies and so forth in the system partition, which I'd be happy to see absent.

What orbital rockets today are launching a 1st stage with liquid oxygen and hydrogen? I thought they are mostly used for upper stages where they are required for combustion in space. For example, the Falcon 9 uses LOX and refined kerosene in 1st/2nd stages. and the to-be New Glenn burns methane/LOX for it's 1st stage. It matters less what the 2nd/3rd/etc stages use as they are basically out in space at that point. Admittedly, the New Shepard booster from the article uses LOX/LH2, but, it's sub-orbital.

The question makes no sense because there is no plausible model: he may willingly decide to guess wrong, for example, or the trick may consist in making you forget the card or any other thing.

Assigning probabilities without a real model is just hubris, no more.

Meaning changes over time, but the words you've written usually dont. They might be interpreted differently in the future, but when you said gun, you said the word gun.

After all that effort to keep manufacturers from using alternative OSes, they should now hand them a strong reason to invest a lot in those? Doesn't sound very logical to me.

If there were any EU tech companies to check, then they would be.
Many application languages have "reflection" API's that can examine internal or low-level code structure. I used database languages such as dBASE (and clones) that are based on more or less on sequential query languages. While I did like more control over the intermediate steps, including the ability to analyze them; the problem is that different people do things too differently. SQL reigns in the "creativity" to a large extent. What works well for an individual may not scale to "team code". Working with a Picasso-coder's code can be a bear.

When "gay" changed from "happy" to "homosexual", it (1) took many years (starting over a hundred years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay) and (2) happened as hundreds of millions of English speakers came to a consensus -- or at least an overwhelming acceptance -- about the word.

When "pistol" changed to mean "toy gun", it (1) happened in two years and (2) was decided by an oligarchy of actors (and not even the Unicode Consortium oligarchy).

Can you spot the difference?
I just subscribed, there are some bugs in the process though:

You can calculate all the probabilities you want all day and night, but there's still no evidence. Until we have a frequency of how often life occurs, rather than a single occurrence, speculated probability doesn't mean anything. Especially when we can't even create life in a lab. (If I remember correctly, we've been able to create amino acids using early-Earth conditions, but we haven't really been able to create something like RNA.)

The Fermi Paradox hasn't been "dissolved" in any way. It's a response to the idea that the universe is teaming with life. The paradox remains unchanged until we find a credible signal, or we create life in a lab under naturalistic conditions.

This article is a perfect example of how the crit lit genre often analyzes the shit out of a stool sample while ignoring the patient's sawed-off arm. (Usually missing the real point because an auxiliary one makes for a much cuter reference to some piece of literature authored c. 1800-1990.)

A set of images designed by advertising and consumer goods companies are not optimized for expressing the full range of the human experience? I'm shocked! /s

The real critique: we've had <img> since the 1990s, and plenty of more than usable chat systems/protocols/markup languages that allow inline images for about that long as well. Why are standardized emojis so popular, and why do people even give a fuck about them when there are obvious workable alternatives?

Emojis are not "radical" or "new", as the author puts it. They are a crippled instantiation of an old and obvious idea, an idea that has itself been implemented in better ways thousands of times prior to the rise of emojis.

... the whole point of having a writing system is having a standard writing system, at least de facto, and without the Unicode Consortium, there would be some other standards body because that's how computer software works. That other standards body would be worse than the Unicode Consortium by virtue of not being the Unicode Consortium, and therefore being either irrelevant or an agent which destroys cross-platform compatibility.
No, because transaction fees are an ongoing negotiation between miners and the people issuing transactions. That market can adjust to change in the ether price, and keep the real-world transaction cost the same.

I can't speak for you, but I know that for me, inability to sleep is always the product of some unresolved worry or other preoccupation. Dealing with that (in my case, that means spending time meditating) solves the problem of waking up feeling unrested. However that doesn't necessarily mean sleeping more, since I find that during periods of consistent meditation I generally need a couple hours less sleep to feel fully rested.

YMMV, but ask yourself whether there's anything that might be preoccupying your subconscious that might be triggering your sleep issues.
