The industry doesn't seem to perfect any one thing; instead flickers off for the next shiney fad. For example, both OOP and FP offer (or can offer [1]) "abstraction". One can perfect their skills in OOP to solve similar abstraction problems that somebody who perfected their FP skills can solve in FP. If the industry stuck with or the other, people could use them more effectively by shere experience (including language improvements). But mixing them together in random and different ways just confuses more than it helps. (I'm talking average programmer here, not Sheldon Coopers.) It's collective Attention Deficit Disorder.

No, but they do control their border with Gaza, which is as locked down as those ports you mention.
From a technical side, I do not really understand why so many companies use such a complex robotic arm with 5-6 DOF. Wouldn't a SCARA in this case be much better? They're easier to program, simpler kinematics, cheaper, and more robust.
This is overstated though. Oil is fungible, and the US is not a vertically integrated supply chain even though it is (contrary to popular talking point) still the world's largest manufacturing exporter.

Which means it needs to buy things from the outside, and trade something people want in return - that means oil. If you want to be stable on oil, it's either competing with international market or you're throwing up price controls and export restrictions to try and keep the price down. Do that, and your currency starts devaluing anyway making all those things you want more expensive.

Right? Letting your customer fund your R&D in order to better engineer the product that you and them will both use seems like a complete no-brainer.
If you're thinking you can just use a custom domain as a login email everywhere, think again cause that comes with its own risks. A guy did this and ended up losing control of his accounts since a DNS is probably less stringent on security as well, the Googs itself. TLDR: Someone hacked him by calling the DNS for his domain name and taking over his email.

> If the expansion of the universe is accelerating with time

The expansion is accelerating now, but from the big bang up until a few billion years ago, it wasn't; it was decelerating. So you can't just extrapolate the current acceleration back in time.

Inflation can indeed be caused by supply and demand, which is what you're referring to. However, if an open market is allowed (no price controls), generally supply will rise to meet demand and price will fall back.

Unfortunately, inflation can also occur when too much money floods a system. We see this in the case of college tuition. Giving college loans to anybody with a heartbeat floods the system with money, causing tuition price inflation.

This does happen with countries as well. Every dollar that a government borrows and then spends, is money creation. The act of selling the treasury notes allows them to obtain money today for the promise of paying it back with interest in the future. That new money is spent into the system and much of it takes the form of bank deposits which can then be inflated 10:1.

Wait, so Apple forced them to stop using the computers they had bought?
I know that (I learned it at 25 though) but I don't regret being 19 and unbalanced. I had fun in the end. Suffering is a universal human experience and not something to be avoided at all costs or anything.

I mean, sometimes we give young people advice and they are super eager to do everything right and use all the lessons the older people learned. I figure, there may be value in learning that particular lesson on one's own and on one's own time.

The recent Tesla news are a good warning bell against never learning it, though. As was in a different way the recession.
WiMax?
Thank you, your description sounds like what I'm looking for.
Take for instance the LastPass plugin: You can't just copy the current site's user name/password* with just 4 mouse clicks like you can with Chrome's extension, you need to edit the site entry (4 clicks), click show password, select the password, Ctrl+C. If you need to do this for both your user name and password, it gets a lot worse than in Chrome (which remembers your position).

And don't get me started on the really bad font rendering. Firefox is still behind Edge and Chrome, hell, even IE (at least on Windows).

*: something you need to do more often in Firefox because the extension's autofill feature is even finicky than in the Chrome extension.
I think developers evolved on associative thinking in order to learn new skills faster, you can see that when you migrate to a new syntax language.
This "device lineup" is missing the most important device: a phone.
Quite a few years back, someone did a test compiling a large project on Windows, and on a Linux VM running on that same Windows box, all using the same compiler tool chain.

The Linux VM compiled the project faster. :/

The conclusion was that NTFS may have issues with thousands upon thousands of small files.

I'd really like to see an updated comparison, it'd be a fun set of benchmarks to run and investigate.
That's a pretty insane multiple on the acquisition price in 2 years, is there anything you can read into that or is it pretty meaningless because of all the post-acquisition investment money being pumped in?
Access Control Models: Review of Types and Use-Cases
Yup, this happened about 2-3 years ago when the Ruble collapsed, causing many lenders to default.
The iOS version isn’t too idiomatic either.
Exactly. With Apple we get (maybe, who really knows? For how long until they decide to use the data they have?) more privacy but we also get a dictator who asserts control over the devices we buy.
What constitutes a 'Criminal Act' in generally accepted terms? We can probably agree that there are some cases which generally considered 'bad': Stealing, Killing and others. But even some instances of these 'bad' acts are also up to debate (stealing to feed your kids, killing in war or self defense...).

But it's also worth noting that what constitutes a criminal act is largely dependent on the laws that are enacted by a majority (this is also a broad generalization). Taking into account that a majority votes these laws, these laws will also reflect that same majoritie's Religious (or lack thereof) beliefs.

This 'hypothetical' religious majority will probably never vote for laws which 'criminalizes' their beliefs and actions! Thus it's quite easy to see that Religious folks from this majority will never be deemed criminal.

As a thought experiment: imagine that attempting to obstruct or make it more difficult for someone to have an abortion was illegal. How many more religious people would become 'criminals'?

In conclusion, one person's definition of criminal is another's person definition of a 'hero'. Claiming that religious people are less likely to be criminals is based on shaky assumptions in my opinion.
Replacing keep is annoying because there's no export and Google takeout dumps HTML files for each note, and not very good ones. That may have improved by now, but it was an issue for me about 6 months ago.
If there is a conforming buildpack, then yes.

What you're looking at here is informally the "v3" effort, which extends and consolidates the "v2a" and "v2b" designs evolved by Heroku and Cloud Foundry respectively from the original Heroku design.

In v2 both Heroku and Cloud Foundry provide supported PHP buildpacks, as well as Java, Ruby, Python, .NET Core and I forget the rest right now. There are hundreds of community buildpacks.
Yeah, do you have a composer.json in the root of your repo? Buildpack will detect a PHP app...
Bringing Robotaxis to market is very capital intensive. I don't know how much money GM has to throw around, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot less than their nearest competitor, Alphabet.

Waymo announced purchasing orders for 60,000 FCA Pacificas and 20,000 Jaguar IPaces to be converted into robotaxis. If we're to assume a crude ballpark estimate of $150K apiece for those vehicles, then we're talking a $12 billion just for that. GM can't go up against those kinds of capital investments without help.

Argo.ai, Ford's answer to GM Cruise, is also seeking partners/funding from outside Ford. Wish them luck.
Sorry, I misunderstood.

In answer to that question: I'd stay well away from the Surface Book if you want to run Linux, too many proprietary "magic" drivers for the screen disconnection functionality.

The Surface Laptop uses fairly off-the-shelf hardware (shared by other ultra-portables) and you will *likely have a better overall experience.
Homogeneity of the early universe by itself is not enough to prevent collapse. You need rapid expansion as well. A homogeneous universe that is not expanding at all will collapse.
The last gen diesels are about to be banned (e.g Stockholm and other cities eg in Germany). I expect Euro6 diesels to follow within 10 years and the number of cities with bans to grow.

Charging infrastructure needs to be expanded everywhere but that needs to happen regardless. The need will just be more acute. Also note most in Europe have 230V at home including a lot of places in the Nordic countries that have 230V at every parking space for multi tenant housing for car heaters. Those are very handy for an EV parked overnight.

The holiday issue is a real one. I drive a diesel that does 1000km in one go. I use that range in one day maybe 2-3 days per year during holidays. That would be impossible with an EV. I can get where I want but it would require a lot more planning and longer travels and recharge waits.
Still though, the study need to control for the opposite hypothesis (submit right-leaning but sound-looking papers)
NICE: Noise Injection and Clamping Estimation for Neural Network Quantization
> I'm curious how future generations will reach remote places as we move away from fossil fuels.

They won't. Corporations will own the land, you'll be allowed to visit designated 'wilderness areas' on a lottery system, transported by public transit. Perhaps really remote destinations are only open to those with lots of merit points.

Most people will be forced into city dwellings, high density housing, reminiscent of soviet apartments, albeit the housing will most likely be more aesthetically pleasing. There won't be anyone to visit in the country side.

You might be allowed to rent a community bicycle and perhaps bike to far off destinations. They'll likely be in disrepair and you probably won't be able to use them past a certain location.
I'm pretty sure DDG is already paying them. Maybe they'll raise their rates, but DDG has other sources and has their own crawler, too, so I think they will do just fine.
I've noticed in SF at least Cruise seems to have removed branding from their cars (or I believe they are their cars). I'm curious what that implies -- either about the sentiment of self driving cars or future branding partnerships.
From what I have seen it seems like Waymo is first followed by Cruise. Tesla has had some pretty spectacular failures resulting in the deaths of 2 drivers.

Care was taken to make sure these invasive species didn't get imported in the first place, but clearly that didn't work... What makes you think preventing the altered species from being transported back will be any more successful?
No, it doesn't. The fact that you can't see beyond a certain point at a certain time doesn't mean the mass beyond that point does not count.
Not a logo, but lots of cell phone manufacturers like to list which Wi-Fi standard they support because they can then advertise “gigabit” downloads and the like.
I don't think those are true, and even if they were they don't hold a candle to the other 2016 candidate's "charity".

For example, The Trump Foundation paid $10k for a portrait of Trump himself. Not only that, the painting somehow found its way into one of his resorts.

The cost-benefit analysis of providing such services through centralized government would look different for the US than European countries.

E.g., 20% of Swedes live in Stockholm, so a government-run hospital or food bank there would be accessible to a larger share of Swedes than a similar institution in NYC or LA.
> Often times web browsers are to blame for this. I have seen more than 1 browser keep my laptop from sleeping if there is some sort of embedded video content open in a tab somewhere.

I use Chrome and the same electron apps (like Teams and VSCode) on both my macbook and surface book. macOS still handles this much better.

> I have done very serious work with a stylus in OneNote [...]

That's good to know. Maybe I'll try it again if I'm doing something similar. I tried to use it for software diagrams and had a bad experience.

> Windows is not some sort of developer wasteland.

This is true. I started my development career using Visual Studio and powershell, but I've since moved to a *nix style of programming and I feel more productive for it. Right now I'm writing mostly C++ with some C# and TS.

> Also if you at at Microsoft, with MSIT managed hardware, you are not getting the end user upgrade experience

You're right, I'll update my original comment to make this clear.

> Install one of the utilities[0][1] that add more multi-desktop shortcuts.

Thanks, I'll try this. It's a bummer the out of box experience isn't better.

> None of your actual complaints appear to be about the Surface Book

I have had hardware issues around going into/out of tablet mode. It seems to run hotter and louder than I would have expected. The hardware is bulky (especially with that hinge.) Battery life (not just the lack of suspend) isn't great. Trackpad isn't as smooth as a mac. But you're right, those are lower order to me than the Windows issues.
Silicon Valley Community Fund has an endowment of between Stanford's and Harvard's, around $14 billion USD. The reason is that backers can pledge funds and get tax advantages now, while deferring transfer of funds/assets until later. It's also under no obligation to help anyone, and donors can put strings attached to realize their own pet projects. IOW, the whole thing is a tax-dodge.
Show HN: TravelStreetview an app for locating your photos on Streetview
https://travelstreetview.com

This is a side project I've been working on for the last 2 years. It lets you select images on your phone and shows you the location where these images were taken on Google Maps and on Streetview. I had the idea for this app after going through the pictures I took after my first trip to the U.S west coast. I had several pictures where I didn't really remember were they were taken so I manually extracted the exif data and typed the coordinates into Streetview. I found it very interesting to be able to kind of revisit the locations where these pictures were taken (especially via Streetview) and thought I should turn this into an app. All your photos will stay offline on your phone unless you specifically decide to publish them.

Since I had no past experience with app development I decided to use React Native. I liked the experience very much and I was able to share about 95 percent of the logic between iOS and android so you really only have to implement your app once. The downside however were all the breaking changes between version 0.37.0 (when I started) and 0.57.1 (now). In the beginning you could almost be certain that your app won't work after an update. Sometimes there were breaking changes which also affected other third-party dependencies and you had to wait for them to catch up too. These problems seem to have improved with recent versions though.

Georgia Tech's OMSCS program addresses these issues very well in my experience (I'm finishing my 3rd and final year). Assignments and exams follow strict schedules, student collaboration is very strong (via Piazza, Slack, Google Hangouts), each student receives a grade, and the cost is cheap but not trivial (i.e. there is a financial incentive to make the most of the class.) I am very happy with the program and feel it should serve as a model for other institutions who want to offer MOOC like degree programs.
The thing that doesn't make sense to me is that you say any file but then seem to be doing video-specific stuff to it. So did you mean to say any _video_ file?

Also, what is HLS?
The penthouse in question reminds me of how houses are staged. It looks sterile and as the article says, "free from the clutter of everyday life".
Almost exactly half of its value is represented by the money that's been pumped in (7.1B was the sum GP arrived at). The rest...
If you want to tax the crap out of vehicles (like Denmark) then it makes sense to give some relief to people who just need to get around as opposed to people who can afford a 50k+ car.

My current hangup is migrating a bunch of accounts that use my GMail for 2FA over to another email address. I really just need to enumerate only the essential ones and divest from/delete the rest.

I've stopped doing this recently when, during a string of nearly-statewide Frontier outages, Google services still worked while everything else was inaccessible (actually happened multiple times over the course of a week). It felt a little bizarre watching YouTube videos fine but being unable to connect to IRC. I've started pinging Cloudflare instead.

I am highly skeptical of the research that shows low attendance causes poor grades. I attended 2/24 lectures for one subject, and I got the highest grade for the year, out of both semesters. And I have friends who don’t attend lectures often and do similar.

We focus on assignments - programming & software engineering assignments eat far too much time to get top marks and still attend classes. When I finish assignments, I binge watch lectures and write notes like a madman.

But yeah, I really doubt the attendance studies.
I agree. I thought I'd miss column view when I switched from Mac to Linux, but I'm ok with the breadcrumbs.

> if you imagine all that mass-energy springing into existence in a vast universe

You can't; this violates conservation laws. In other words, there is no solution of the equations of GR that describes mass-energy springing into existence in a universe that was empty up to that point.

At the end of inflation, matter and radiation in the form we know them today (the quantum fields described by the Standard Model of particle physics) got a huge amount of energy pumped into them; but that energy did not come from nowhere. It came from the inflaton field--the field that caused inflation up until that point--so that energy was already there and there had already been plenty of time for its gravitational effect to be "noticed".

The reason I bring up the military has to do with external influence. The US has a solid internal system of governance (as per other comments), but it would be worth nothing if other countries could intimidate it through military power.
Both policies exist actually. For instance old cars and motorcycles are getting banned in Paris (outside of weekends IIRC). Even if as the grandparent points out making a new car generates a lot of pollution at least it would reduce the more local problem of having a heavy smog on windless days (and all the health issues that go along with it).
That's probably a better way to phrase it.
