It always is, at least in the US. See (the legal doctrine of) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration.

Specifically this part:

> Consideration cannot be illusory

A contract without consideration is void. If you promise to give someone X (that you own) if they give you Y (that they own), and you never give them X, then you don't own their Y, even if it's already in your possession.

You just (non-forcefully) stole their Y—same as if you e.g. asked to borrow someone's phone and then walked away with it.

3D reconstruction using cameras – Part 1
That's probably what Core3+ will be. They will let the old framework (which was initially "COM+" remember, a windows only java replacement) just stay around for compatibility.

With desktop (WinForms etc) added to Core3 I don't see what project you'd choose the framework for.
The problem is that with high potency, you also get more side effects for the same "painkiller" effect (also depending on absorption velocity). Therefore, using something such as remifentanyl in the mix would almost certainly be counterproductive if you are looking for the "high". It would displace fentanyl, and be more risky.
And first of all, it is far more expensive than fentanyl.
dpkg, which is what underlies APT, is really picky. Definitely a downside for APT, but its a solved problem.

Wasn't aware of the one-version issue with APT, though MSI definitely allows multiple versions (and attempts to manage the resulting dll hell)
Gab allows much more open racism and spread of those ideas than Twitter does.

Does multi-monitor mixed-DPI work in Gnome? Because that's the only thing that I couldn't get working in KDE about 2 years ago. (The problem was most easily solved with a new monitor.)

I restart perhaps every six months due to some problem that could be KDE; I find it very reliable both at home and at work. Granted, both machines are desktops, I use a laptop so rarely that I usually shut it down after use.

> titlebar integration

This is personal preference, but that's a showstopper for me ever using Gnome (or Mac OS) for anything beyond web browsing. I use focus-follows-mouse, which is incompatible with a titlebar outside the relevant window.

Exactly my experience.
Difficult V1 is a generous way to put it, it was a mess, and I agree Apple Music has since improved on iOS. I came in from Spotify and moved to AM family plan, and while I found Spotify a little better in terms of UX, I wanted better integration into my device ecosystem.

I understand that not all apps can be perfect for everyone, but I find the latest iOS app overall very regressed from the previous ones. For example, from a fresh start (as it often happens due to iOS nuking apps in the background) none of the tabs are cached whatsoever, so I have to wait for them to load every single time.
Music.app has a completely different feel than other iOS system apps I use frequently, like Photos for example: All tabs are loaded upon start, and importantly, it remembers which tab I was last in, even from a cold start. I discover a lot of new music via the Radio tab, and I almost always find myself waiting for it to load. Often times when dealing with a bluetooth disconnect I have to go into system bluetooth settings to reconnect because for whatever reason, they won't be in the audio output menu in the Music app.

This may seem like a rant, but I use their music service hours every day on my way to and from work, and while working. It's the little details that made me like Apple's ecosystem in the first place, and that seems to be missing lately.

I'm not even talking about the mess that is iTunes.
it would be the "operator's" fault, mean the person driving aka the person with the remote keyfob or phone.
It’s not about me; The “you”-ing is incredibly offputting.

We are simply and obviously applying the word “linear” a little differently. I am aware that it is a specific term for certain behavior / a certain operating mode of transistors. I’m referring to it in another wider context on purpose. As another example “linear” in “linear algebra” isn’t about saturation or gates. I’ve gone through this before in this thread and believe my perspective is now pretty complete and clear here and won’t engage further.

ECG on your wrist is a gimmick, not a true innovation. Extremely impressive from a technical standpoint, but not actually relevant to many consumers.

The criticism always comes back to how impactful the original iPhone and iPod were. Apple has failed to live up to that standard ever since, but to be honest it's an impossible standard to be held to.
I have no clue why VS is so bad. You would hope that as a commercial and primary development tool for a company as large as MS, they would be able to make it stable and fast. It's horrible. But so is XCode... I guess both try to cram in too much features and developers will (have to in many cases) use it anyway.
How and when will the next financial crisis happen? – 26 experts weigh in
I work on the search systems that serve things like calendar, gmail, and other private data stores. In terms of the types of problems, some of the stuff I do is paying off technical debt (fixing mistakes that were made earlier in the system's design), and I'm also working on a big migration from one storage backend to another (sorry, can't go into detail). Earlier this year I spent time using a SAT solver to assist with query planning. There's a variety of different sorts of work, even within a single project, and you can often guide the sorts of problems you want to target by telling your manager what you're interested in.
I’m pretty sure it does the “potency” is derived by the Ki value of the opioid to the Mu receptor which is the affinity while they aren’t identical (the lower the Ki the higher the potency) they are interchangeable at these levels unless you are looking for much more complex pharmacology where agonism and multiple receptors come into play.

Since pain relief opioids are full Mu receptor agonists the rest doesn’t really matter in the context of these articles this is accurate enough to be technically correct while not being generalized to all opioids such as low Ki opioids which are mixed agonists or antagonists which can be used to treat addiction and even overdose since they bind to they receptors but don't activate them fully or not at all which means that they block other opioids.
That movie is rather unappreciated. Definitely worth a watch for folks that haven't seen it.

Is this a bad attempt at pedantry? “Minor” WRT version numbers doesn’t mean “boring” or “insignificant”. Go introduced modules in a minor version, for example. Other minor versions cut GC pause times considerably. Others improved compile times a bunch. It’s pretty clear that the aforementioned changes are all more significant/interesting than anything in 1.12.
Yes.

You can prove, for two rotors R1 and R2, that slerp(R1, R2, t) = R1 (R1^-1 R2)^t.
> But some languages have a stronger type system with, in addition, highly qualified types (e.g. constness, range, sign or any custom contract).

Sure. Those are overly simplistic categories, but a full discussion of type systems in programming languages would be out of scope for that post.

> some statically typed languages supports variable shadowing in the same scope

Shadowing is a different issue. Shadowing refers to two different variables (which happens to have the same name), so it's orthogonal to whether the same variable is allowed to hold values of different types at different times.

You don't have to choose between an iPhone 4400, 9600, 8600, 7300, 6500, 5500, or 7600 though. Or even know the difference between all of those models. That's what the desktop Mac product line looked like when SJ returned to Apple, and those were just desktop Macs; there were also three PowerBooks, a couple Performas (which were mostly rebadged Power Macs), a couple Workgroup Servers, and a bunch of clones that were mostly indistinguishable except some of them were slightly overclocked.
Poster here. The tweak here is that MariaDB tested the Optane SSDs with Intel Memory Drive Technology (basically presenting the SSDs as memory to the OS) and as fast storage. Pretty interesting stuff, and it's been fun to help developers get their hands on the tech and give it all a go.

I could have, but I didn't see much reason to because you didn't seem open to a discussion. You preemptively dismissed any argument by implying that anyone who disagrees with you is a "osx stan".

> alternatively, you could of course explain why you think apple laptops are the best choice still in 2018(if that's how you feel)

I do feel that Apple laptops are the best choice _for me_. I don't much care what laptop you use. I think everyone should pick the tools that work best for them. We don't have to be on the same platform to collaborate.

My main reason for choosing Apple laptops is macOS, but I also think the hardware is very good. Expensive, but very good.
I would expect it has been easy, I’m talking about the way forward. I wish you the best of luck anyway!

Well - part of what they are checking for is that antimatter doesn't experience/produce anti-gravity - since experiments up until the present time have mostly been inconclusive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_interaction_of_a...)
Even supposing this is an easier way to do without constraints, the effort to weaken static guarantees should be looked at askance. The great merit of Postgres' JSON types is that they <i>can</i> be used without losing strong data integrity guarantees.
Hope not Gordon Freeman fails an experiment...
To boot, I believe that the manufacturer claims that this drug has less cognitive side effects than other opioids

I'd take manufacturer claims with a grain of salt, since their goal (actually pretty much a requirement for a public company) is to sell drugs and earn money, not heal people.
The same is true (with lower performance, I suspect) with the 3x3 matrix representation.
Farrakahn hasn't been rejected. You can find photos of him with Obama, the Clintons, and various high-level DNC people. Farrakhan got to visit the Whitehouse during the Obama administration.

The anti-semites on the right have been rejected by the rest of the right. Perhaps we can consider David Duke to be on the right, but you won't find him at the Whitehouse. He has been solidly rejected.

What’s important is your willingness and ability to learn. We want to see your curiosity and passion for what’s out there.
When just implementing a first person type control/viewport I found it way easier to just use euler angles and the gimbal lock didn't really feel unnatural to me. So I think there is something to the idea that maybe you don't even need the complexity of quaternions at all dependent on the usecase.
Same with my GNOME 3. All I ever see is the gdm login screen.
The last time these companies promised it wouldn't be as addictive as previous opioids, they were pulling numbers out of their ass and straight lying about it. I think we should all be alarmed if they're releasing a new drug that's even more potent.
That sounded to me as experiments to influence gravity using antimatter. I figured it was either a long shot or clickbait so went to the comments first, but as someone with little clue of these things (the most I know of physics is the half of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking that I understand, and probably half of that half I already forgot again), it wasn't too far fetched.

No, the GP isn't assuming any astro-turfing campaign; they're just talking about the known effect where every time e.g. Facebook's UX changes, a million people come out against the change, and how they liked it better the way it was. Yet, those same people were often against "the way it was" when it was new, too!

People just hate change (esp. change that requires them to change how their own stuff works to accomodate it—such as devs when their platform changes), regardless of whether the given makes for a more or less coherent experience; and regardless of whether the person complaining would have liked the system more or less if it was already like that in the first place.
The RAM is user upgradeable, and an external SSD drive connected to TB3 is not going to exactly be slow.

> For those of us that have had to use opioids for cancer treatment to the point of being addicted, then kicked the habit after treatment, all of the asinine demonization of opioids is absolutely infuriating. I used ate percs like candy during treatment and rehab, then used fentanyl patches to wean off. It was hard, like really hard, but life is hard.

I guess you're going to ignore the actual issue of doctors handing this crap out like candy to people who don't need it and companies selling these drugs directly to doctors with promises that they weren't anywhere as addictive as previous opioids? There actually is an opioid epidemic, and they're not talking about terminally ill patients who actually need the shit.
How a Dog Could Stop the Global Spread of Malaria
> The problem with free speech on the Internet is that our human minds have not sufficiently evolved to even remotely begin to understand just how fundamentally the Internet changes our perception of our fellow humans. Dunbar's number shows that we're only able to keep track of a very small number of ongoing human relationships relative to the Internet-connected population of the planet, and at a societal level we're used to only hearing ideas from people around us, and those in published works or in mass media such as radio and television. Yet now anyone, literally anyone, can go online and proclaim whatever they want in certain online public spaces.

Another fundamental issue is that The News is all about reporting abberational events. When non-local awareness is ubiquitous (via the Internet and social media) literally any statistically improbable event can be reported upon anywhere and treated unconsciously as a statistical constant by its audience.

In other words, people in California get to hear all the improbable dirty laundry about Texas and vice-versa, but we don't get to see the banal, quotidian existence of these places that allows us to relate to them as fellow humans, fellow Americans, etc.
For what it's worth, at home I use KDE on a single 4K screen with scaling set to 2×, and there are no normal-user problems. I use Kubuntu, and Firefox, Chrome and LibreOffice scale correctly. GIMP looks a little small.

I can get half-size or double-size apps if I start something from the CLI, or with X forwarding or similar. export GDK_SCALE=2 usually solves it.

One small and obscure KDE utility program was broken with a HiDPI screen, but I filed a bug and it was fixed a few days later.

Question: How does Goldman Sachs still get away with this stuff? Due to their lengthy rap sheet, multiple governments and every law enforcement agency in the world should be watching their every action. It's a safe bet they're going to do something illegal again... and again... and again. Why aren't they being caught in the act and stopped before they can waltz off with the profits? Why haven't they been shut down or barred from doing business in the jurisdictions they've screwed over? Malaysia is going after Goldman Sachs for reparations, but have they kicked the company out of Malaysia?
