I don't think that's necessarily true. The per diem would presumably need to be reasonable, e.g. based on the (low) government per diem for the location.

I know in my case, most expenses are itemized but you can expense a small fixed daily amount if you stay with friends. (I assume the thinking is that you buy some groceries, a bottle of wine, etc. when you stay with people that you can't really expense.)
Indoor smoking is quite common here, but only in bars and clubs.

It's easy to do your own research. Pop a bunch of Vicodin, about the amount you'd take after, say, surgery. (Percocet will do in a pinch; DO NOT use heroin for this experiment.) Once your fecal matter has hardened to the consistency of a masonry block, go poop regular style. After straining for about 20 minutes in an ill-fated attempt to pass your feces brick, if an aneurysm hasn't killed you[0], give up and go get a little stool. Place feet upon stool, ass upon toilet seat. Post your results.

(My results: with a little grunting, feces boulder slides out like a greased pig.)

I think, in the context of that sentence, it is intended to be two different ways of saying the same thing.

Instead of just saying superconductivity twice, they are trying to be concise by shoehorning the application of superconductivity into the same sentence.

Hi, this is ichekrygin (crossplane maintainer). Yes, indeed. There appears to be an overlap in general principles (even in use-case example). From what it appears, KEP sig was "published/released" (not sure what is the right term here) on the GitHub 3 days ago, we did not see this. However, now since it out there, we will definitely reach out to discuss.

We always go to Nashville for air travel, because it's not just that I'm not made of money, but also the money I'm not made out of isn't exclusively $100 bills and gold coins.

It seems like the Huntsville airport is geared mainly towards business travel, for contracting companies that can turn around and charge the travel expenses to the federal government somehow. It's ridiculous.
I have a hard time trusting _any_ of the password services that host my passwords.

Single point of failure. Even if they claim they're "encrypted so that even THEY can see them", it's so easy to mess up encryption, it makes it a single point of failure.

I still share passwords between my devices though, but instead I use KeePass along with the Android app. For less critical passwords I let Chrome keep them; I _mostly_ trust Google, and non-critical passwords are exactly my level of trust of Google.

And I also trust Google to share my (encrypted) KeePass file with my devices. But now it's two points of failure: Someone would have to break into a private Google Drive, get my KeePass file, and break the KeePass encryption.

And I trust _both_ KeePass _and_ Google more than I trust Lasspass to get security right.

I've heard it claimed that many youtubers get locked into their day 1 aesthetic and intentionally avoid changing their winning formula.

If your videos shot in your bedroom with a single fixed camera on a tripod, no staff and basic editing are making you $15 million a year, why fix what isn't broken?

That is a lot of BTC. Let’s hear the conspiracy theories. Here’s mine - the fact that something like this caused consternation is a feature not a bug. It is only noteworthy because it is publically viewable. How often does this happen in fiat? We just don’t know in the same way.
One of the selling points of neovim was to make it more easily embedded into other programs.. doesn’t seem like anyones trying to do so from a quick googling though; maybe one day there can be true unification of the holy editors
The article doesn't mention anything about in-order delivery, which adds an extra bit of challenge because most message queues don't have any support for strict ordering. I implemented a simple solution for the company I work for, which uses a Rust microservice backed by a Postgres database. It could easily be made "serverless" by uploading the same service with minor changes to AWS Lambda.

We use separate queues for each customer so we can send webhooks in parallel whilst guaranteeing in-order delivery for each customer (we can actually support multiple queues per customer for super high volume if required). Messages are removed from the queue only once successfully delivered, so we never "lose" messages, no matter how long a customer's system fails to receive a message. Failing messages stall the queue and are retried with exponential back-off to ensure the order is preserved.

We also have a web UI for developers built into our product, so that you can see recent webhook delivery failures (we store error messages returned by our customers' systems), disable webhooks (clearing the queue) or retry a failed webhook immediately (very useful for debugging!).

The whole service is a few thousand lines of code, works faster than we could ever need using only basic SQL queries and polling, and delivery is within a few seconds compared to the 30 seconds listed in the article - it's not clear where that delay comes from, I can't imagine it's intrinsic to SQS?

WinForms is not windows-only, it has been implemented in Mono pretty long ago already. The major reason almost nobody develops WinForms apps on Linux is there is no visual WinForms designer (which is so good and intuitive in VisualStudio and that's a major WinForms strength) on Linux and given you are forced to code it manually other GUI toolkits can be more flexible, more powerful and look better. In fact I have developed some WinForms apps in VisualStudio on Windows specifically intending them to run on every of the 3 major OSes without modification.

Since September of this year we are:

For the first time since 1973, the United States is the world's largest producer of crude oil, according to preliminary estimates published on Wednesday by the Energy Department.

Texas is the epicenter of the shale boom. Production in the Permian Basin of West Texas has grown so much that in February the United States vaulted above Saudi Arabia for the first time in more than two decades, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

US output kept climbing in June and August, reaching nearly 11 million barrels per day. That nudged the United States ahead of Russia for the first time since February 1999, the EIA estimates.

The United States isn't expected to cede its crown any time soon. The EIA expects US oil production to stay ahead of Russia and Saudi Arabia through 2019.

Hasn't WINE already reimplemented those APIs?

I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible to kitbash this release with WINE and get it working on Linux.
I'm guessing most answers will be about Dart being the hard pill to swallow for most, and the fact that it render by drawing UI instead of orchestrating like React Native.

It really bugs me for my monitor to not be at or near max brightness because of how terrible the colors look at low brightness, even on high end IPS panels. This isn’t an issue on my OLED phone, which has great colors even at the lowest brightness, but nobody makes 27” OLED monitors and if they did they’d be prohibitively expensive.

How hard you work your vehicles is inversely correlated with income (generally speaking, exceptions are in abundance when you speak in generalizations like this).

If you hang out with the HN type crowd then you'll rarely if ever see someone fill every seat in a car or use a pickup to its full capacity. We're generally rich enough to afford more vehicle than we "need" in every regard (pickup trucks to haul light loads, three rows of seating for families with <4 kids, high performance German driving machines for a commute that's mostly sitting in traffic, etc, etc). At the other end of the economic spectrum people shoehorn whatever vehicle is available to them into every role it needs to fill.

Every time I'm strapping material to the roof of one of my beater cars at home depot I'm immediately self aware that I am not acting the way people of my income level are expected to by other people of the same income level. Depending your income level pressing a less than ideal vehicle into service to fit all your needs is just not an option you let yourself seriously consider.

So yeah, the people buying new trucks are mostly rich enough to not need to use them hard very much. Owners 3-N will use the crap out of them though.
It would be nice if we could all agree on a global environment variable to opt-out of all telemetry so we wouldn't have to keep track of the thousands of places to turn it off.

I heard a full build takes over 18 hours on insane hardware, talkin 64+ cores.

A machine like that can be had for only 2-4$ hour on your favorite cloud computing platform.

And hopefully the code is sanely enough structured that you don't have to do a complete rebuild too often.
the lack of providing motivation is a huge problem with math courses on every level.

I feel that mathematical topics almost always benefit from positing some problem, and then "inventing" the mathematics that allow you to answer the question, followed immediately by some examples of other questions this topic can help you answer (as at least an informal justification of some of the seemingly arbitrary choices made).

Then show a similar topic you cannot quite answer and build on it with that. Eventually you will have built up the majority of the topic with motivations for each part.

Abstract algebra might be trickier to motivate than many subjects, but it still should be possible. Yet given how much trouble there seems to be in writing out motivation for more concrete topics finding a textbook that provides motivation throughout for this area seems tricky at best.
Yes. As a general comment: the component-based architecture lends itself well to adding additional protocols on top.

The community has added a Redis protocol on top of TiKV with Titan:

I expect to see more, including native language drivers directly to TiKV.
"Why isn't setState doing what the docs say it should" is not an advanced question, and if he's not prepared to answer basic questions, he shouldn't be "faking it until he makes it" and doing office hours and charging $800 for his expertise. Being able to answer my questions is what I'm paying for.

He didn't simply say "I don't know", he confidently faked it until he made it and claimed that he knew the answer, which was false and based on not knowing how a common parameter worked.
Hey Jon,

Why not move .net to Linux Foundation in a similar deal to Node.js?
I think .NET is really interesting technology but let's be honest most innovation happen over JVM. Moving to Linux Foundation would create a lot of trust for people who are not fond of Microsoft.
You'd write off an entire massive company for the mistakes of Hauwei Egypt or Samsung Malaysia? It's not like this is central company policy, it's the people localizing the marketing.
Hypothetically, if 10 developers decided to make a WPF fork/patch that would work on linux, would it be a worthwhile project?
Native Americans had been setting fire to the whole landscape for 14 thousand years. That is not evidence for natural sources of fire.
The crazy thing is, their phones take amazing photos. Why do they need to fake it?
Yeah. I prefer trees to people. I'd take long distances between things and the occasional preachy christian or hick over city problems any day. I don't think I'm missing anything by drinking $1 gas station coffee and buying my bread at Walmart instead of Whole Paycheck.

City people should stay in the cities and country people should stay in the country and as long as neither group tells the other how to live we should be fine.

There's an open-source implementation GDI through WINE, so it should be possible to get Microsoft's implementation of Winforms running natively on Linux.
But bad ones aren't the competition; existing good ones (even if not as good) are. How much are those?
I think you are buying into two major fallacies and succumbing to one major bias. First, the fallacies:

- The fallacy that leaders, even dictators, have anything resembling absolute power or are able to govern without some degree of consensus from other powerful interests within the country.

- The fallacy that a system with two very similar parties (such as in the US) is significantly different from a nation with a single party.

The bias is the idea that there is something more sinister about the reported information suppression activity being done by China than is done in the US. States must do this to maintain/launder their reputation/legitimacy in the eyes of the majority.

Look how the US has treated Julian Assange. If anything, China simply has more people with the level of courage necessary to take the kind of risks that Assange took and must in some ways apply authoritarian power to stop it.
HPVM – Heterogeneous Parallel Virtual Machine [pdf]
This quote is great:

"Lesson #2: Be prepared to learn all the reasons why no one has solved your problem."

So often no progress gets made because there are five reasons people haven't made progress but everybody is making excuses about why they only need to solve three of them and wondering why their "minimal" product isn't viable.
I really would like to see something like Bloomberg's OpenFIGI take the place of cusips, but its not nearly as widely used. https://www.openfigi.com/ The api does allow you to convert from cusip though.
No. The point is that the data structure can't know if there's a NULL since the data structure is static. Context is dynamic. Code is dynamic as well, and it can know that some things must exist based on other dynamic conditions.

So this "solid" distinction often is just noise and actually blurs the intention of the programmer: An explicit unwrap is required syntactically while it should not be required semantically because really the option data is not an option but a requirement in certain contexts.
Some developers might see this as a good move for them. I don't think it is.

It might be a good move for developers in the short term but it’s a bad move for developers and the web in the long term. We need to keep the web APIs vendor neutral so that one company cannot take control of the future of the web, and move it to benefit only themselves.

The number of barely-standardised APIs they’re adding to Chrome is astounding. It's great to push the web forward, but the fact that product teams at Google have a direct connection to the Chrome team allows them to prioritise the features that benefit their web apps the most.

If the web is going to become Chrome (and sadly it looks like it might), then Chrome needs be moved to a foundation that's outside the control of one company.
Spoke to these guys a while back. Asked for examples of real alternative data they had...one intertesting was flight data for private jets labeled against which company owned them. Theory being if ceo of company x keeps visiting a place near company y there may be an acquisition or merger in play.
Maybe you're talking about a different kind of account, but FSA dollars come out of the employee's own paycheck.
I assumed it to be a joke, or at least referencing that a person with a "white-collar" job in NYC at times feels like they live more like the middle/lower class than the upper-class.

For instance, New York City made significant efforts to include a large number of affordable housing in many recent developments. People within a certain income range(30-100k ish) can apply for these apartments at a significantly reduced rent. This allows people who work middle-income jobs to at least live close to work. I'm not arguing the against the merits of these programs as I think income diversity is good, but this combined with the reality that many new developments included mainly luxury units or affordable units without much in-between, causes a significant rent burden for many New Yorkers making 100-200k.

Contrast that to say taking a 15% salary reduction to live in Nashville, that same person now probably lives much more like the upper-class of Nashville than the lower class.

For me, the ability to look up a word from the built-in dictionary on the Mac. But I do use FF at home and only use Chrome at work.
I'm not totally sure you aren't trolling me.

Somehow I just assumed it was universally agreed upon that strip clubs are not something that you go to for business reason.

And if a sales person invites a client to a strip club, they would do so understanding that it's a questionable thing to do, and that they would be smart enough not to file it in their expense report.

Even if their manager said it's okay. I mean, that would just be a perfect reason for the company to fire both the employee and the manager for colluding to defraud a totally ethical company.
Because they’re actually nowhere near as good as a DSLR and they want you to think they are.
It's a reference to something illegal that was the catalyst for Tumblr deciding to ban all adult content. I think you can figure it out.
From the duh department. By definition a cellular toxin damages DNA, and cancer is the product of damaged DNA. Still surprised this article made it past the big pharma media gatekeepers.

Let me repeat: it is silly regardless of who it comes from. Everything else is irrelevant. You appear to be biased to the point of completely ignoring everything I have said. I get it, you like him. It does not change anything.

I merely suggested the possibility that he might be negligent or wrong about other relevant things. Do you think that this is impossible?

Flutter renders the whole UI, like a game engine. In the past, this has meant that if there isn't a Flutter implemention of a component (like a video player or map), you couldn't add it to your app. I don't know if that's still true.

Thank you for the feedback!

This transformation is encoded exactly like simple and declarative term rewriting rule, and it may be called from any phase of compiler, except the last one when IR passed through backend and IR objects acquire machine code attributes - registers and code ordering. But we guarantee that at this phase there are no terms in IR applicable to this and other similar simple rules.

During IR "lowering" we do not rebuild the whole IR into some other form, we just rebuild parts of them, which are too high-level for backend. Additions are obviously not among them, so the is no problem for using this transformation in lowered IR.
Inheritance taxation and wealth effects on the labour supply of heirs
Can you point me (regular joe c# programmer) to some resources that show how to contribute to .NET and start the path to membership? I'm guessing the simple answer is "go to github, check out the latest branch of aspnetcore, start fixing bugs in the Issues list and pray to god someone accepts your PR" but somehow I imagine the barrier to entry is a bit higher than that. Thanks!
