> * Seventy-two percent of adults polled in a 2011 study said they believe a woman should give up her maiden name when she gets married, and half of those who responded said they believe that it should be a legal requirement, not a choice. *

I find this extraordinary. I've never really thought about it much, I've just known I've always wanted to get rid of "Smith" since I have a common first name as well. I wish there was a freely accessible copy of that study.
I have a Big Green Egg (kamado-style grill) with 1" thick ceramic wall, which might be a comparable thermo substitute for the brick. Reaching 600° F is no problem.

Because it's wood (or charcoal) fired, so you get the flavor from the wood.

And with a BGE pizza stone, you get indirect heat on the bottom of the pie.

Whole setup works great. I used it recently to reheat half-baked (lol) pizzas from Berkeley's Cheese Board Pizza Collective (aka, our communist pizza). Very tasty.

Your link does list the Zynq XC7Z007S as supported by Vivado WebPACK.

It also shows up as an option when I create a new project in my installed copy.
I left feedback on the page that it wasn't helpful. Saying, "Once Apple releases Mojave, no versions of VRED will run on that operating system due to the OpenGL deprecation" doesn't help their case, because it's just wrong. I do hope Autodesk is able to put pressure on Apple to continue to support OpenGL, but they have to get their facts straight.
Alice and Bob are both installing something on their computers. It is available as both a .deb and via "curl | bash". It is not malicious...but it does turn out to have a serious bug.

They both install, and both hit the bug and find that it has completely and utterly broken their network configurations bad enough that they have no network access at all.

Alice installed via the .deb. She can look at the scripts in the .deb and see what it was messing with, which gives her a big head start on figuring out how to fix it at least enough to connect to the network backup server and fully restore her network configuration.

Bob installed via "curl | bash". Bob is now left using find to look for recently changed configuration files, and paging through the out of date O'Reilly books he has from the old days when programmers owned physical books, trying to remember enough about network configuration to recognize what is wrong.

Trustworthy sites do not serve you malicious code. They often will, however, serve you buggy code.
You might be able to do something automatic using Wikipedia article version history for articles that have been “complete” for s long time. Diff them over long time-scales, generate “release notes”, summarize.
I do not agree. Things are not binary. There are tradeoffs in everything we do. Such tradeoffs do not make his points invalid, they actually emphasize the limits of our control over privacy. I find it quite more honest and exhaustive than just winding about ads.

Good point. A thoughtful, digestible source of such updates might even help undercut one source of inter-generational alienation.
I've been dreaming about a text only network for a few years now. Haven't done a damn thing to make it happen but what I envision starts with a search engine that only indexes text/plain content. I've submitted a feature request to DDG a few times over the years to be able to filter by the content-type header, that would be a great start. There are few tricks you can do with any search engine but it's not enough to ensure what you're going to see is text/plain.
I think the main issue is that using FPGAs is actually doing hardware design, and most people don't want to do hardware design

Half the time FPGA's come up, people ask "which FPGA can I get that has an integrated ARM core". So I suspect you may be on the money.
Well, according to Apple, existing.
well if you look more attractive, doesn't that mean you have better odds at getting an attractive mate? most animals try to bolster their appearance. Thats not a cultural phenomenon at all, its completely biological. The only cultural aspect is the specifics, like how much makeup is tasteful or what kind of car is "cool".

On the list that terminals need to do, being more typographically aware is on the very bottom on my list of priorities.

They could start by not mimicking 50+ year old hardware terminals down to arcane (and performance killing) details, supporting better and more powerful autocomplete and similar interactions, inline images, full colors, and so on...

We've been chasing awesome home pizza for almost 2 decades. Pizza stones, steel, convection oven etc. Last year, I built an Alan Scott style brick oven using [1] this book. It naturally does what we were trying to workaround with lots of hacks.

There is a convenience in having the same last name but I agree, no reason to always change names if one doesn't want to.

In any case, the ones who get caught are done in by carelessness, and over-confidence. You have to wonder how many are not getting caught if they can manage these two faults.
It would be interesting to see user studies over which platforms they feel the more trustworthy.

Honestly considering the opacity of their privacy rules, it's all about marketing and how receptive you are to it. Apple does communicate a lot more about privacy of its users, but it is unclear whether they actually are objectively better than the others big names.

From a business model point of view however, I agree that it's clear Amazon, Facebook and Google make most of their revenue out of users tracking. It is not true for Apple.
the development environment UIs look like a toddler was given access to VB6

But does anyone really use the GUI? I was always under the impression nobody, including Xilinx, really cared about the GUI because most commercial projects probably did things headless, invoking the toolchain directly. In other words, it wasn't really meant to be a full time development environment like an IDE.
Yeah, I agree, it's amusing how the author considers this to be going paranoid or something. And the link from the word "privacy" to Apple's website seems a little bit product-placementesque.

I'm moderately cautious about privacy, to the point that i use a free OS and software, encrypted messaging, no smartphone, etc., and I'm evaluating my options on what to do about the Intel ME. Using an adblocker and Apple stuff is like the tip of the iceberg.
My guess is that it's because learning a different paradigm is difficult and
you don't see its benefits until you're proficient with it. It's like learning
functional or logic programming.

Ansible gives you merely a way to execute commands on remote servers. Much
touted idempotency is not a game changer, it's quite easy to achieve even if
you write everything yourself.

CFEngine requires a different mindset, you need to (a) think of the servers
running independently and (b) configure groups (classes) of servers, not
individual servers, even grouped in a list of some kind, like Ansible works.
Suddenly an environment becomes much easier to manage.
personally i find even very selfish from parents piercing girls ears for earrings (like at least 80% parents do here around me), chopping skin of my son would be even crazier idea

if she wanna wear earrings or he wanna be circumcised they can make their choice when the time is right, but it's not up to me, i think same even about parents forcing their own religion onto their children and baptizing them

and i am not some theorist, i have actually both of those children
No, it’s God’s plan, he sent the choice here to test you.

Don’t worry if you make the wrong choice though, it’s all God’s plan! Actually do worry because you’ll suffer all your life and go to hell if you screw up. But it’s all for a reason, you wouldn’t understand it. Stop questioning and do as I say.
It has also been shown that melatonin improves the efficacy of breast cancer chemotherapy.
Yes, very much so... here's why:

In many schools the projector used in the front of the class is old and/or inadequate. Depending on the conditions, some work better with "light" applications, others better with "dark" ones, and some are so bad the only solution is a "high contrast" look (which also aids those with visual impairments -- education and the tools thereof should try to be accessible to all).

Like zooming in/out, this was a bit of a favorite complaint of teachers which was very easy to fix in order to help them overcome the widespread hardware inadequacies. I guess the moral of the story is: "assume nothing".

Hope this makes sense. ;-)
>For the same reason, I print all important photos for posterity. Who knows if apple / google cloud photo library will be around in 50 years when I grow old? I can make sure my printed material remains much more easily.

You can be sure the JPEG and BMP and PNG format will be, and plain text and basic html as well.

So you don't need to print anything, just to have plenty of backup and repeat the backup process every few years (which takes all of 2-3 minutes even for 1000s of images).

> what do you suppose she did as a result of this observation?

instead applies blind faith

It is not quite blind faith. Apple have made a stand for privacy, even confronting over-zealous law enforcement over it. And nothing in their business model requires stealing a user's personal data. It would be blind faith to observe a company whose business model is entirely based on personal data and still trust them.
Yup.

I guess that since the post (and the previous) seems to have attracted almost no interest, the fact that you've given it away doesn't really matter - probably very few people are reading it anyway.

In my experience most people find this connection surprising, and you can get a sense of that from some of the other reactions here, although I deduce from your tone that you don't. Which I find interesting.

Thank you for interacting - any further comments would be welcome.

I'm sorry you feel that way and would be glad for an opportunity to persuade you otherwise, but there's no mystery in why users flagged https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17637105: it broke the site guidelines. Comments here need to be better than telling others to "fuck right off", even when they're wrong, even when the feeling is understandable. eganist's comment makes the same point more thoughtfully, and didn't get flagged.

I don't think we are talking about libellous content: as you noted yourself it is already covered by existing laws, and there's no need to invent additional regulations for that.

As for thing you call "self-censorship" there are two very different parts: pursuing correctness is not, actually, self-censorship, it's building reputation, and a long-term trust with an audience - and done essentially for commercial success. But there's self-censorship in media, of course, it exists because if political pressure, sponsors' influence, and last, but not least because most of journalists are not magical creatures, they are humans too, and naturally biased as all of us are. And I never heard anyone claiming this self-censorship to be good for society, and worth expanding.
Manual browsing on mobile...whoops! You are indeed correct.

However, the principle nevertheless stands and it would behoove anyone interested in tinkering with one of these boards to verify that the architecture is indeed targetable by its respective free tool offering.

Epigenetics and Lamarckian evolution are not mutually exclusive with natural selection, even historically. Lamarckian evolution is natural selection, simply through a non-genotypic mechanism, which epigenetics could be a part of.

Also, the heritability and stickiness of epigenetics is still not well known. It cannot be the main driver of evolution over long intervals (i.e. hundreds of thousands of years) because it is limited in the changes it can make: methylation, for example, can only affect the expression of genes, but it cannot alter them, nor can it introduce new genes.
Since you asked: it's a fine comment and I appreciate that you made it so thoughtfully.

There's a tragedy-of-the-commons aspect in cases like this which we see a lot: a bunch of posts which individually aren't that problematic, but collectively are. The whole is less than the sum of its parts.

In this case, the individual commenters weren't making claims about which groups this happens more to; they were just saying 'hey this reminds me of me', or perhaps, 'oh yeah, I always get picked on this way'. We all feel like we get picked on more than the next person ('mosquitoes always bite me'). But of course when you get a bunch of these together, the shadow they cast looks like a claim that maybe no one was trying to make. It's easy to see how that could make someone feel unwelcome and I wish that weren't the case.
So if an individual who is less fit for survival due to behavior is still able to reproduce, the traits that reduce that individual's fitness, or their results, are passed on and could still stop that line due to a descendant eventually not being able to reproduce due to their apparent unfitness.

The first solution uses a materialised view. It essentially precomputes what the query can possibly return and uses up additional disk space, plus WAL traffic unless if it is configured unlogged. There has been no mention of how long it takes to rebuild such a materialised view: you will still have full table scans then, but at build time against the primary read instance.

The second solution is better, but please read documentation [1] before replicating it. Also to_tsvector takes an optional regconfig parameter [2] and here is what I get right now

You really should right a new opening line Marianne; fractions are legit, and tons of people like them. Like most people who can do simple division without a calculator... Starting off with "no one likes fractions" is not a way to make friends or impress people.
iOS apps can become pretty complicated endeavors with all the moving pieces. It's as complicated as writing any desktop app. In fact, many are currently in the situation where you need to move from an OpenGL implementation to a Metal implementation. I don't see that happening in the browser.

Though, I will say once you get that move completed, you get this: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/608/

Metal is nice, but Apple should also support OpenGL, not just WebGL.

In processing HTML, XML or JSON with sed I have often used tr (e.g., delete newlines, add non-printable delimiter, then replace delimiter with newline) to reformat into sed-friendly input. However, an easy alternative to using tr for this is flex.

As an example, below is a one-off/reusable HTML/XML reformatter in flex. This makes HTML/XML easier for me to read. It also makes it very easy to process with sed and other line-based utilities.

Apple is probably still the least bad of the four, but their dealing with China doesn't exactly inspire confidence from me. If they are willing to include code to censor the word "Taiwan" in iOS, who knows what else they are willing to do to appease governments. Also let's not forget they are part of PRISM and seemingly lied to the public about it.

The other three (Google, Amazon, and MS) are straight-up spyware/surveillance and barely even bother putting a pretty face on it.

I've been wanting to make a todo list that is sensitive to this. It's called Promises, and, when you add a todo item, you make a "promise" to resolve it. Every day the promise is active, it gets a bit more grey, and after a month it eventually fades away and gets added to a section of the app called "the hell of broken promises", where it can never be removed from again. If you do resolve it, it gets fulfilled and goes away with a nice animation.

Hopefully, this will force you to consider what you actually intend to finish versus what you're just adding for the feel-good factor of "oh yeah, I'm definitely going to do this at SOME point, years later". I don't know whether that's good or not, but it'll be a fun project, and I think we'd all be better off if we could say "you know, if I haven't read that news article in the two months since I've added it, it's probably not important enough to keep around".
Radical New Program Finds Men Most Likely to Be Shot – And Hires Them
E-Commerce Branding: Importance of Video Content
I’ve been married for over 4 years now and my wife still hasn’t changed her name. She was in college when we got married and it was a pain to change all of the documents halfway through her education so we put it off.

The only time it’s even a minor inconvenience is picking up mail in the odd chance that the post office won’t leave it in our small apartment mailbox so one of us has to pick it up from the post office.

All the software in the world is setup for different surnames due to long term, live in boyfriend/girlfriend situations, as well as wives who want to concatenate their new name with the old. Marriage has been condensed to a checkbox on every important form and I’m glad it’s that way.

We’ve decided that our children will take my name and my wife will likely change hers then to make it easier for them to remember while growing up, but until then, we’re in no hurry.
