But it's not at odds with your experience. It's an odds with "your" experience, where you arbitrarily redefined "your" (not that the conventional definition is any more rigorously defined, mind you...).

The reason why this all gets so convoluted is simply because it exposes how much we rely on terms and concepts that are defined very fuzzily, and often aren't even defined at all, but just accepted for granted as if everyone means the same by them. And then it turns out that we don't, which should really come as no surprise.
I miss phones that let you dial the letters of the contact name to pull up that contact. Example I always thought was funny was Mom is 666.

But with that, it was faster to dial a contact name like that than their number.
Research papers that changed the world of Big Data
I mean, there are a number of racists things. Saying something like "But apparently it is a cultural accepted thing to cheat blatantly in china" and then "Every single person I have seen cheating has been Asian".

Imagine if someone said something like "Apparently it is culturally accepted thing for cops to shoot black people"

I mean, you can find a ton of examples of this happening, and plenty of examples of nobody doing anything about it. Does that mean it is culturally accepted here?
"The massive waste of human talent rippled upward, eventually destroying the British lead in computing and the British computer industry."

It was probably flagged because the central claim seems highly dubious. The only thing the article really proves is that history is at least partly made by whoever is telling it.

If it was to support some hobby, then I suppose you "win" on the pedantic point, but you still won't be able to do it well without understanding whatever purpose outside of the code is driving it, and I suppose you don't even care about the more important point in the second paragraph. Congratulations, you've proven that something somebody else wrote on the internet wasn't 100% correct and perfectly phrased. Can you point out an example where you expressed an original idea in a way that meets that standard, so I can learn from it?

Maybe it is culturally accepted in China to cheat? Do you know? Is a statement racist if it is true?
As opposed to the “but I might get sued” argument, I find this argument totally reasonable. Thank you for stating it so clearly.

I’m cautiously optimistic but recognize that we need more data because evidence-based medicine is all about testing hypotheses. The hypothesis here is that continuous 1-lead monitoring will provide a net benefit to the population employing it. Maybe it will and maybe it won’t; Either way I think it’s pretty cool that we’re about to amass a ton of relevant data from which we’ll be able to derive an answer.

There is virtually no functional difference between a flight qualified processor and a ground development board. The cost difference is due to the overall reliability requirement for flight parts, for one. If you lose your spacecraft processor you lose your spacecraft, which probably cost you a couple of hundred million dollars. So the yield rate for spacecraft CPUs is quite low, like single percentage low. The chips that fail the qual inspection become ground development units.

In addition the manufacture, storage, and movement of each chip is very carefully managed and documented, which adds a surprising amount to the cost. This allows you to determine root causes in case of a failure, which then lets you understand whether other spacecraft using similar parts are in danger.

Radiation tolerance is an important part of this, both in terms of lifetime exposure tolerance and in terms of single event upset susceptibility.
It would be great for learning, but requires an enormous amount of work for the academics involved. That side is pretty important in explaining why the system is the way it is. It is due to have some novel ideas injected about how to balance effectiveness and efficiency.

I'm interested why over-automation caused so many problems in manufacturing plants.

I would think that once an assembly line has been set, full automation would be completely ideal and perfect. Is it because plants are always changing and getting tweaked, and changes require software updates, which invariably have bugs and take time to adapt to changes?

The important thing is that the output complies with the standard.

That's a good point --- you can write an H.264 encoder that doesn't compress at all, and as expected, the amount of code to do so is quite small:

However, minih264 may currently be the smallest encoder that does compress.

Absolutely. I am not a relativist, but I find that any narrative that challenges mine (while wrong, haha) is interesting. I'm not going to call it alternative history fiction (which I also find interesting), but it is a point-of-view that I had not considered (and maybe ought to have - esp. here where many if not most of the underlying facts are true).

I mean, you definitely don't need a full web browser for software development. That's maybe the least worst option you have at the moment (which is sad) but it could be hella smaller.
I downvotes you because I think it’s incredibly fallacious to discredit the problems people have simply because you can find examples of worse off people in the world (in your example Syria).

Obviously people in a civil war torn country have an extremely poor quality of life that that doesn’t mean that everyone everywhere else does t have very real problems too. Basically, I think you’re presenting a false dichotomy since problems can be improved no matter where or to whom they happen.
The primary mode of input was via a d-pad that was fairly small to allow room for the number pad, which is largely defunct after the initial creation of a contact.

Wow, thanks for the TIL.

Suddenly I understand the fuss about the early processors (eg, the Forth ones) that went into spacecraft in the 70s and 80s. It wasn't just the architecture that was good, it was the electrical/physical design that was noteworthy (which, to excuse the terrible pun, the CPUs are still writing home about :D).

Heh, I wonder how much the ground development boards cost? Probably way too much to find one affordably on eBay, say...

Also - how do you figure out if a processor is going to last for ages? How do you test it?!

Hmm, I get the impression some spacecraft probably have full failover capability as well.

And now I wonder what systems use CPUs in lockstep _and_ have full independent failover...
+1 for Postico. One-time fee, and I've only ever had one or two moments of frustration with it - as opposed to much larger numbers with PGAdmin 3 and 4.
Your original comment partly reads thusly:

> it's ok to discuss violence in Black communities and cheating in Asia, but it would be racist to assert that because you are Black/Asian/White you are more predisposed to violence/cheating/racism

Your implication is that something cannot be true if it is racist. This is a non sequitor. Race should never have been brought up in the first place.
I see they responded - should've refreshed first.
I like psql a lot as well. That said, there's often a place for GUIs, and your parent asked specifically about desktop apps.
Another way of phrasing that: The book costs as much as work that took dozens of people years to make.

Also if you were to somehow poll everyone reading this and ask "Did you buy this book?" you'd get some number, x. But if the book were priced at $5, then $5y would be much greater than $40x.

I bought a bamboo fineline pencil for $50 the other day. It's a tool that will serve me for at least a year. It's unclear whether this book would.

I wouldn't be suggesting ideas and approaches. I would instead concentrate on "few hundred dollars per month". I think you are setting the bar too low if you are in US. Let say this side project will generate $200/month and you are spending 15 hours a month on it. It means that your hourly rate will be $13 (which is way-way below software engineer hourly wage). If the goal is do something useful, then work on opensource (for free). If the goal is to get some additional income, then you need to find an idea which can grow more than couple hundred bucks a month.

In Australia at least, no spot was “taken”. As most of the cheaters are overseas full paying students, and there are near an unlimited number of those places available. (They cost big $$$, as other comments have stated, it’s a track to residency)

But my point is more that, universities could look at the ‘problem’ and contain it internally rather than the current outside model.

University students require some income to survive.

Some students are not capable of completing the work required (or don’t want to).

Some students are MORE than capable of completing their degree, on top of others.

So pair them up. One on one tutoring, paring students who can’t with those that can.

Then at least the students doing all the work get paid and recognised for their capabilities. Those that want a piece of paper can have it.

Without this my friend (and other gifted students) end up working some mindless job for minimal pay to get through university. Who does that serve? If anything it takes an unskilled position away from the unskilled.
Just out of curiosity, why did this require a throwaway?
Yes, quite so, and British pork pies are exactly the same. Very nice - tasty pig meat, tasty jelly, and a tasty lard casing :D - but extremely dense. Normally you'd have a small slice, appreciate it for what it is, then put it back in the fridge and ignore it until at least the next day.

Normal rules do not apply when shitfaced, however, and it turns out you'll just quite happily pop half a kilo of this stuff into your piehole without even thinking. Fast forward 8-12 hours, and... well, you can guess the rest. It is the devil's own food, and it probably ought to be banned. How are folk supposed to manage, if after drinking a mere 7-10 pints of beer it proves so irresistible?
The issue is that I can already scroll to the top to see the navbar, and interacting with it is a small fraction of what I do on a website. In fact, when clicking into media (like a news article or blog post), I'm not even going to interact with it once.

Yet I must endure all of its downsides the whole time I'm on the page, from taking up precious screen real estate to the even more annoying approach of popping in and out when I scroll up/down one pixel.

Just think of how seldom you interact with the navbar of most webpages and why it then needs to follow you around the page in the off chance that it's more convenient than just scrolling to the top.

So far I remain unconvinced that it can be done well since the entire premise is flawed: my device already gives me a one-click scroll-to-top shortcut. Like inertia scrolling, it's a bad smell when every website thinks it has to bring its own implementation of feature devices should already have.

Drop the bone already, it’s not what he’s been saying. His point, and an excellent, nuanced point at that, is trying to explain that generalizing from limited occurrences within a community as resulting from the fact that the community is X, is racist. In other words I can say that there is a problem of white guys on the internet making arguments like yours and that’s fine, but if I try to extend that to a commentary on white guys as a group it isn’t. Most white guys aren’t disingenuous racists pointedly ignoring what someone else says to cynically repeat their own dogma. It’s the difference between trying to argue that there’s a problem of violence in black communities, vs. arguing that black people are inherently violent.

from their website:

> Proposition C, called Our City Our Home on the November 8, 2018 San Francisco ballot would generate $300 million per year to address San Francisco's homelessness crisis by increasing the business tax on San Francisco's wealthiest corporations.

> Only businesses making over $50 million a year would be affected, and their first $50 million in revenue is exempt. Their tax rates would increase between 0.175 and 0.69 percent, depending on the type of business. (Compare that to Prop D, which will increase the tax on large cannabis businesses by 5%!)

A ground development board would be on the order of $50,000, give or take. You'll also need a chassis and power supply of course.

“Also - how do you figure out if a processor is going to last for ages?”

Really big semiconductor junctions help. Low heat production also helps. And then there's this thing called “heritage”. If it worked on the last fifteen missions, odds are decent it'll work on the sixteenth.

Many spacecraft have fully redundant processors boards. Whether that helps you depends on whether you think chip failures are statistically uncorrelated. Which they are, sometimes. But not if there is a design flaw or manufacturing defect.
