In order for capitalism to survive, states must transition toward fascism. This is because resources become scarce and more and more destructive acts are needed to secure them. Those who oppose this will be monitored and dealt with harshly.
That password piece seems particularly dangerous, and a huge lock in.
> Do you have a good recommended article on that?

I don't, but I agree it would be useful. We're not where I wish we were in terms of docs right now.

> if Dart requires type bindings (like TS .d.ts files) to the large community of JS projects, how does it plan to solve the kickstart problem.

We actually have a tool that will generate the proper Dart interop bindings given a TypeScript .d.ts file:

https://github.com/dart-lang/js_facade_gen

> It's taken TS community many years to over just the popular js libraries out there.

Dart is different from TypeScript in that we are deliberately a more batteries-included system. We wrote and maintain a full set of core libraries (collections, async, etc.) and Google has a well-funded team to ship and maintain a full-featured web framework (AngularDart).

So we aren't as stuck needing to rely on the JS ecosystem as TypeScript is. There is still tons of useful functionality that's available in JS and not yet Dart, which is why interop is important, but we have a lot of customers that can get by without needing much or any JS interop.
Possibly not, since that would mean burning bridges with its existing dealer network.

That's very obviously an anti-theft measure to deter casual smash and grab jobs.
You are right of course. But still. Once you can talk over the CAN bus you can spoof pretty much anything, if I recall correctly. You could at least have some intermediary module on both buses that acts as a proxy. Then if someone hacks your radio they can't pretend to be the ECM.

Then again, this exact scenario actually happened and having an intermediary didn't help. https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/blackhat-jeep-cherokee-hack-e...
Consider watching lectures by Dr. John Bilezikian on YouTube. He is one of the top osteoporosis doctors in the world. Here's a link to the first one in the latest series, but all his stuff on YouTube is great:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnOQsYYalyQ

To your question, no, you would expect BMD to be a function of person size. Because it's not actually density. The bigger the person bones are the larger BMD you would see given the same volumetric density. DEXA measures how many grams of calcium fall on a square centimeter, and bigger bones will result in higher numbers.

For people close to mean in size the difference is academic, for somebody 3-4 standard deviations below the mean in size not so much. This is covered in Dr. Bilezikian’s lectures. You can also Google [BMD areal volumetric].

In any case, this may not matter, BMD is predictive of fracture risk regardless of size. There seems to be some but not much science there on achondroplasia and osteoporosis. The few papers that pop up do suggest a link.

Since you are an outlier I'd consider doing this:

-learn more about osteoporosis from these lectures on YouTube

-find a facility with a HRPQCT which is a gold standard for diagnosing bone density issues

-the doctor who owns this machine is going to be a researcher who should find this case interesting, and will be able to reason from first principles not just follow guidelines, the guidelines that may not be applicable to somebody of an outlier size. Consult with his doctor

Feel free to friend me on LinkedIn if you want to talk more.
There's nothing special about the 18 – 22 year age range. I attended a boarding high school and had to learn that stuff when I was 4 years younger. So what.
Their Android screencasts look nice but my Pixel 2 still doesn't have that slick new launcher (I am on Pie, however). Did anyone get that update?
For hobby projects?

Multiple reasons:

- because writing RTL is fun, while writing C code is boring. :-)

- because it's probably not possible to outputs VGA with your standard microprocessor. You can create a dinky 3-bit VGA output with very little hardware.

- because I may want to DMA data from an external sensor and feed it straight into a DSP for processing, and only use the CPU to deal with the post-processed result. Think multi-channel audio etc.

- because anything that requires fast real-time is probably not possible with the standard microprocessor.

But mostly because writing RTL is fun.

I'm sorry to hear the bad experience.

I recognize those challenges in my pitch, we have various efforts already under way to address them, and with this gear shifting, I think we'll be combining those in a compelling way.

For example, defining Jenkins config in YAML in Git is a key piece to solve a fear of config change, and this is called "Jenkins Configuration as Code" and is under way for a while now.

Cloud Native Jenkins will also split single process "master" into many build-as-a-function kind of processes, so it isolates builds and allows changes to be rolled out more incrementally.

There's more focus on us owning a bigger responsibilities around "basic every day stuff," too.
I usually write down styles to some kind of Notepad and then rewrite it to sass. At the beginning it was annoying, because I was forgetting that my css will be reloaded, but I got used to it.

As my mind falls between asleep and awake my brain would start coming up with absurd thoughts as well. This would also happens when I'm too tired (think you haven't sleep for 24+ hours).

I sometimes speculate that your brain comes up with absure ideas all the time, and a "reality checker" would dismiss those ideas without you realising it when you're awake? Perhaps the absurd thoughts come out only when you're tired (checker running low energy) or falling asleep? May be some types of psychological dieases are due to this checker not working properly?
Agreed. I just can't go back to a browser without an ad blocker nowadays. I've forgotten how absolutely ugly and distracting most of the web looks with today's ads, not to mention the out of control tracking of users and invasion of their privacy.
Why not support this as a step along this route instead of treating it as a zero-sum game?

Near Y2K, as development slowed, several of the hands-on QA teams were found to be astonishingly good at Quake. Later, as labs high and low were decommissioned, a couple of sysadmins consolidated equipment and absolutely dominated the SETI at Home rankings for many months, and likely the PG&E [1] rankings as well.

Good for you for standing up for your ideals. I don't think you're the type the OP was complaining about.
I think that trying to lower a fever with cold towels is pointless. If your body decides it wants to be 40°C / 104F then it's going to do everything to maintain that. So by trying to cool the body with wet towels, you are just making it work harder, and you exhaust the kid even more.

Anti inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen are the most effective way of lowering fever, it will actually cause the body to cool down on its own, and no wet towels will be necessary. Unless you have a really severe infection, in which case you should go to the hospital.

The only time when wet towels make sense if your kid can't regulate body temperature on its own anymore (eg. because of severe dehydration), but then you should really take them to the hospital as well.
Fuel cells were not a decoy, there was a really big push for them.

The 'problem' is that after a lot of investment ... they just never became economical.

Most of the car companies have been doing stuff in this area for many years, and it's not like electric cars are some kind of existential threat to them; they'll be just as happy selling them as combustion engine cars.

Cars are not software. It takes time.

As for 'waking up' - they've been doing stuff for quite a while now, and the game has barely just begun. Electric car sales are a tiny fraction of sales and that's not going to change overnight.

The big auto companies are in a very good position, the entity the most likely to go belly up is Tesla, though I hope they don't.
That's mostly a decision to increase turnaround speed on their bridges, it is faster to swap a rotor for a new one than it is to turn one down. But if you're cost conscious enough to replace your own brake pads and you don't want your new shiny pads to be just as bad as the old ones after a couple of weeks (as in: grooved, they will likely still be thicker) then turning the discs is a good option. Where I live this is still pretty easy, it might be harder in other places to find shops that will do this. Cost me about 10,- / disc.
Amazing answer from stackexchange:

ASIC VS FPGA

A Field Programmable Gate Array can be seen as the prototyping stage of Application Specific Integrated Circuits: ASICs are very expensive to manufacture, and once it's made there is no going back (as the most expensive fixed cost is the masks [sort of manufacturing "stencil"] and their development). FPGAs are reprogrammable many times, however because of the fact that a generic array of gates is connected to accomplish your goal, it is not optimised like ASICs. Also, FPGAs are natively dynamic devices in that if you power it off, you loose not only the current state but also your configuration. Boards now exist though that add a FLASH chip and/or a microcontroller to load the configuration at startup so this tends to be a less important argument. Both ASICs and FPGAs can be configured with Hardware Description Languages, and sometimes FPGAs are used for the end product. But generally ASICs kick in when the design is fixed.

FPGA VS microcontroller

As for the difference between a microcontroller and a FPGA, you can consider a microcontroller to be an ASIC which basically processes code in FLASH/ROM sequentially. You can make microcontrollers with FPGAs even if it's not optimised, but not the opposite. FPGAs are wired just like electronic circuits so you can have truly parallel circuits, not like in a microcontroller where the processor jumps from a piece of code to another to simulate good-enough parallelism. However because FPGAs have been designed for parallel tasks, it's not as easy to write sequential code as in a microcontroller.

For example, typically if you write in pseudocode "let C be A XOR B", on a FPGA that will be translated into "build a XOR gate with the lego bricks contained (lookup tables and latches), and connect A/B as inputs and C as output" which will be updated every clock cycle regardless of whether C is used or not. Whereas on a microcontroller that will be translated into "read instruction - it's a XOR of variables at address A and address B of RAM, result to store at address C. Load arithmetic logic units registers, then ask the ALU to do a XOR, then copy the output register at address C of RAM". On the user side though, both instructions were 1 line of code. If we were to do this, THEN something else, in HDL we would have to define what is called a Process to artificially do sequences - separate from the parallel code. Whereas in a microcontroller there is nothing to do. On the other hand, to get "parallelism" (tuning in and out really) out of a microcontroller, you would need to juggle with threads which is not trivial. Different ways of working, different purposes.

Like the new Gmail design, I do NOT like what appears to be a similar design applied to Chrome. Everything old is new again I guess. Material design is out; bubbly everything is in. Changing these for no described nor apparent reason is not "boost your productivity".
> I didn't know how it's possible without his body temp being permanently lower than normal.

Pretty simple explanation. It's not possible.

If a person's body burns 1,600 calories a day, yes they will gain weight if they consistently eat more than that. If this person exercises more they will absolutely burn more calories.
It's fairly popular (for a electric hatchback) in Canada and in South Korea (over 1,000 units/month now) -- They sold a few thousand as the Amperra E in Europe but that whole plan was scuttled with the Opel sale to PSA. They were taking a bath on currency losses. There's talk of importing GM-branded Bolts to Europe now, but I think that's TBD.

The problem is having virtual 'data diodes', or doing things like vlans on shared complex switches.

A real data diode is easy. You hook up half a serial port.

The new design is pretty good actually (change is good this time around, to defy the stereotype!). But, how do I get it updated on my Win 10 machine? It seems the update does not carry forward everywhere with you.
German here too, I fully agree. As someone who has worked in the car industry I have to say, I’m not super optimistic either. One major issue is that these are places where engineers are the heroes, which was good for a long time. But, unfortunately the world has changed and software is getting more and more important. But in these companies “IT” was always just a cost factor, never a place to innovate. We will see how it plays out, but e.g. I’m not seeing a German car manufacturer doing OTA update of core software soon.
I really want everyone else to sneak in and out of campsites with no ICE noises. I usually hike or bike in.

It asks before storing passwords and, in case of generated passwords, also displays the password - so it seems okay for me. Or do you think it's a lock-in because of missing export options?
Almost the same FPGA (Lattice Semiconductor FPGA ICE5LP4K) has been found in the iPhone 7: https://web.archive.org/web/20160916230725/http://www.chipwo...
But that's helpful for the 99% of Chrome users who aren't technical enough to even know that they should be using a password manager. Having a halfway-decent password manager "just work" when they "open the Internet" is still a huge plus.

60+ of the Hottest Jobs in Boston Tech in Sept 2018
I'm working on a few Elm sideprojects and am having a blast. The IDE integration (elm-format, type checking hints) is a miracle. the `style-elements` library is an absolutely wonderful DSL for writing predictable/flexible/fluid/decoupled layout code. And the file sizes with 0.19 are miniscule (my app previously minified down to 100kb, but now it is about 20kb)
you have hit the issue in the head. Even other tools like victorOps suffer from this. Overrides are manual and in some cases, if people switch 4 day on call with 3 day ones. They are getting screwed. There has to be a concept of vacation and automate rescheduling. I am suprised, there isnt a decent tool to address it.

Tesla seems to have faded it out of their roadmap. Cool tech but people seem to want to own the battery since it's a sizeable part of the investment in a car.

Europeans are different in that battery appears to be seen as a liability and therefore leased.

At stake is how much fast charging you use, as that seems to be what has the largest impact on the battery's life.

I want to add some information to your comment that might be interesting to consider, namely Volkswagen's approach (other than a few e-Golfs). Have a look:

http://newsroom.vw.com/vehicles/the-electric-vehicle-module/
I think the brands that did this best are Audi and Skoda, they went from pariah status to nearly best in their class. Both were classic examples of turnaround management by VW.
Why the surprise? x86 ABI says that a uint32 shall be 32-bit aligned. The fact that CPU can cope with others does not mean ABI allows it. Compiler complies with ABI and assumes your uint32* is 32-bit aligned.
