I have been using Quikscript in my journals, it saves time and strain when writing by hand.

Still getting the hang of reading it, but that's to be expected with any new writing system.

What did really impress me is that when you read poetry in Shavian / Quikscript, you can SEE the rhymes as repeating visual patterns, because what sounds the same, looks the same.
Your app is very impressive from a technological point of view.

However, I would like to point out that while there are ~400 million dogs in the world, there are only ~200.000 wolves left. Things are getting out of hand.
I just realized you already gave a very thorough list of your expectations. Thank you!

Well, comparing these two countries infrastructure-wise to a software project, then China is a greenfield project which is able to pick whatever is the hippest technology at the moment because its still growing whereas Germany is the years old legacy Java project on its fourth partial rewrite that everyone relies on every day. And by everyone I mean people from those living on welfare to the billionaires at the top, not just upper class members or those belonging to the ruling party.

I'll bet that those failed projects would not have been called a failure in China.

You are right for the most part though. The cocaine dealers are around Vesterbro.
To assume that animals that behave as if they had emotions actually have emotions is not anthrocentric but intelligent thinking. This not like the question whether Earth orbits the sun or the sun orbits Earth in case you do not know the mass of the objects.

It is absurd and unscientific to think that animals have no emotional awareness despite the emotional reptilian complex and the limbic system and a different neocortex for unemotional intelligence.

Besides the problem of consciousness is far from being solved.

You are misusing the phrase and don't have a clue about being burned out.

Energy levels are like a rubber band. You can stretch it.
But when you are burned out you are at the end of the stretch and even destroying the band so it won't jump back immediately.

"If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent" is about bad management. The inability to prioritize.
There are some examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-language_spelling_refo...
One Bosnian immigrant. How does that equate, proportionally, to violence in Malmö?
This is bollocks. If all the houses burn down, they have all burned down. There are real hard facts in life and not everything is measured relative to something else.

Don't think so. People in my country are in average old (Germany), we have long standing history in IT, than any other western nation (see CCC for example), but despite both of these, I can count on one hand how many seniors I have seen at work in different companies. Finding a 50+ year old programmer, is like catching an unicorn.

Our industry is full of over time and late hours. Full of pressure because of time constraints. And all that focused on only on small part of our body.

No wonder that so many get hurt.
> I agree that English urgently needs a better script.

Why? Some ortografic adjustments wud do.
^ everybody remember this line for when it's given in response to an angry Congressman.

I imagine another line will be "it's marginally better than statistical human shooting, according to three studies!"

And then in the 'big house' people will refer to you as "Butterstats" or something. Because you were screaming "marginally better" the first night they left you in your cell.

Yo, butter stats, how's your appeal going?
You first should define stress:

That's a separate question but not the one any of the posts I replied to were addressing. I don't think it's honest to attribute to shield properties they don't have simply because you don't like the implications of the reality.
Construction being done so fast? Something shady. The article never once mentions anything negatively. All full of praise and awe. Abusing and extracting unfair amount of work with no consequence on the company or the man is just toxic. They fire burned out employees and are proud about it. This is terrible management.

They are treating people so badly and the author is worshipping them for that. Incredibly wrong.

Measure the happiness of the employees and you can figure out if this speed is worth it.

I had to write a 10k word undergrad final paper for law school (in Europe, law school is a regular university study, with a 3 year LLB and 1 or 2 year LLM). At around 8k or so, I went to my supervisor and said 'look, I've said everything I wanted to say, and in a drawn out way already which I' not happy about. If I have to add more, I will need to start another topic, and I'd rather keep this paper focused and continue that other subject in another paper. What do you want me to do?'. Then my supervisor said 'I'll get you in on a dirty secret in legal writing. When you need to hit a word count, you play with the precedent citations here and there. Go back to your desk, cite an extra sentence before and after every citation you have in there, and tadaa you're done'. Turned out that I had to include an extra paragraph here or there but still, golden advice :) And somewhat applicable to other fields as well, if you build in this sort of safety net from the start...
The Hyper-V transition for Virtual PC is loosely covered in the next chapter: https://aarongiles.com/programming/war-microsoft/

How the standalone app originally worked: "In order to begin taking over the machine, we first had to gain access to kernel mode. To do this, we just identified an unused interrupt vector in the OS’s interupt vector table, and patched it to point to our own code—which lived in user mode. (Security experts are rightly freaking out at reading this.)"
(a) this uneven frame-pacing is called "judder"

(b) you only get judder with vsync=on, vsync=off just flips to the new buffer as soon as it's available. The downside is that you tend to have a visible seam or "tear" in the image when the buffer flips.

(c) the memory for triple-buffering is trivial, that's not the problem. The real problem is that you need to be pushing a framerate at least as high your monitor's refresh rate, and ideally 2x your refresh rate. That's undesirable in a world where you don't have infinite money to spend on hardware.

(d) NVIDIA actually pioneered this technology, AMD came in with a copycat implementation after the fact. AMD has the advantage of not needing special hardware in the monitor, but it usually comes with the disadvantage of only being able to sync over a narrow range, such as 40-60 Hz. Some monitors have as narrow as a 10-hz sync range, and many of them tend to flicker once they get down to the lower end of their sync range. There are currently a total of three FreeSync monitors on the market that don't totally suck.

It's a shame that NYT visited on a dark overcast day. I've been to Christiana a few times and on good summer days it's absolutely amazing, full of greenery, colorful art and happy people just enjoying life.
Maybe add [2012] to the title, dear mods?
Not only that, but the small things like mashing up the song title and album art truly make this a quality product.

Seems a strange criteria that it should be at least 40 letters - to me it seems like the goal should be to use as few letters as possible while still achieving its other goals?

That you have to draw a line somewhere is obvious. Speciecism however draws the line at exactly our own species. We can do better than that. To use a physiological line seems indeed a better approach. It would also be good if we would know where there is a line of feeling pain. Good luck establishing a line. It's one of the things we can do, where we can collectively become more reasonable and emphatic than we were before.
I’m now curious — can you show some poetry in both English and Shavian?
I don't think everyone I disagree is a Nazi. It's just… easy to lose patience with the “free speech” line of argument when so many people invoking it are doing so in bad faith.

Totally agree. I tried some time ago, was quite hard to setup. If they can mypyc just work out of the box, it would be really nice.

Compiling python to C not only has obvious performance advantages but also the fact that it will enable a Web Assembly compilation target to be a thing.
I have two Pi's on remote locations. One is abused with power cuts, the other one not. The one with the power cuts is still alive, the other one had a corrupted microSD card which I just could not repair, and the system would hang (if I reinstalled it was OK again). Both Pi's have /var/log and a bunch of other locations mounted with tmpfs (so, in memory instead of on microSD) with swap off.

After the advice from a fellow HN reader [1] I bought a bunch of aMLC microSD cards from DigiKey. No S&H costs and it literally arrived 1,5 days later (from Springfield to The Netherlands) though I had to pay import tax. Needless to say, they've been rock stable. I'm using one in a Pi and one in a Dafang camera [2]. I still gotta replace the microSD cards in the remote Pi's though but I'll do it once they break (again).

Docker-style containers only shield you from mixed-library situations eg. where one "service" needs version A and another needs version B. It's painful because this situation is entirely accidental and could be trivially solved by linking everything statically. Then once you have two or more containers up and running, these libraries still need security updates and other fixes which is the entire point of shared libs in the first place. Basically, Docker is not a solution but part of the problem. But with Docker comes a ton of constraints; for example, basic file access and anything related to permissions is a PITA. And you need overreaching orchestration software such as mesos/marathon, k8s, or openshift. It's not that these tools are bad, but rather that they're nuclear weapons for relative little benefit, requiring expensive devops experts. All so you can pack multiple services on a single physical host (which would be much easier using classical service runtimes), and so your HTTP services (because everything has to be HTTP because of the firewalls) can all listen on virtual port 80/8080.
I'm glad I could help! I just picked up that fun fact from recently.

Dogs are amazing. I have two Border Collie x somethings. I believe they are siblings, same date of birth, same size, same colourings and markings. They have vastly different personalities. They're both very affectionate, one of them ridiculously so: he sleeps most nights curled up against my chest with the back of his head pressed firmly against my chin. If I move, he follows. The two dogs and I have worked together enough that they know all our little drills, and all the discipline-in-small-things we do that enables them to be relatively calm and well behaved for 16 month old dogs. They won't run through open doors or gates, and I walk them off lead and they won't touch the road nor cross the road uninvited, after first sitting and waiting for 10+ seconds.

There was once a Vietnamese couchsurfer who stayed a few nights. Another couchsurfer asked her: have you ever eaten dog. Her response: yes, we eat dog. Not "yeah I've tried it" just unemotionally "yes we eat it."

I've read that pigs outperform 3-year-old human children on cognition tests and are smarter than any domestic animal, and animal experts consider them more trainable than cats or dogs.

The absurdity of all this just astounds me. And yet I continue to eat meat, including pigs.

So it seems to me our problem, as a the Human Society, is that we just don't care. We don't care that we are reducing our own long term survivability, both personally with regard to our own health, and globally with regard to the resources we all share.

Because if we, as all-the-humans-on-the-planet did care, we certainly wouldn't be in this mess.

The problem, then, isn't money, nor politics, nor pollution, nor climate change, etc etc etc.

The problem is: we don't care.
Thanks, that was very enjoyable and I think it would fit right in a world-class DJ mix.
Most American (mis)spellings were a deliberate attempt to simplify spelling by people such as Benjamin Franklin. Some of them took, like dropping the u from colour, honour, valour, et cetera. Others, while not necessarily considered correct, are widely used and widely understood. "Tonite," comes to mind . . . it was even in my phone's autocorrect.
I'm not sure where you heard that there are no scientific projects in Germany but check the pages of Max-Planck-Society, Helmholtz Association and Fraunhofer-Society at least to get a current view. They should be spending 5-10 billion Euro per year on research in for example plasma physics (Wendelstein 7-X fusion research experiment in Greifswald for example), particle physics (DESY, GSI), applied research (Fraunhofer society) and cooperate with others to build things like the European free election laser (XFEL, at DESY).
Lua and Micropython have been ported - mostly as PoC. I expect us to do some proper ports next years, likely Node and Python. C support is OK, but it should be fairly simple to expand it as MUSL provides IncludeOS with the relevant bits of POSIX as long as IncludeOS can provide the underlying syscalls.

> the terrible chaos that is npm

I don't get how anyone can call it beautiful and productive. Ever take over/inherit some 'older' node code and try to update it or even get to work... it is hell. Even worse if it is from the time when there were competing forks of nodejs, so you have to try to figure out which it prefers. And maybe even then it won't run. (probably because npm's version notation can be unpredictable, so npm install still installs a version that breaks something even though it shouldn't)
