Here's hoping* that this eventually matures into a widely available (if not free & free) 'Scenario Pack/API' provided by Google and available to any Developers, - Not just for leisure, but for practical purposes.

We need Google maps and street view to become consolidated (through a combination of physical mapping with drones, and CG via Unity etc.).

Once this is seamless, and any 3d point in space + direction can generate a full 3D render (in real time), it will allow for 'Scenarios' - Instances of the Gmaps globe that are pulled into applications.

'Scenarios' might be used in games:

- a 'real world snapshot, no wipes' scenario hosted on a game server, where players undertake a FPS survival game in an exact replica of the entire globe.

- On another server, there may be a '1991 zombie apocalypse scenario, 2 week wipes' scenario being hosted, where 'filters' have been applied to the real world snapshot to make the globe appropriately aged and decimated, with appropriate models and characters for that world.

Or more importantly, it might allow for serious modeling when utilized by certain platforms:

- Used for traffic flow - This could be incredibly valuable for use cases such as '3-dimensional traffic theory over San Francisco low altitude airspace - What impact to delivery drones will there be if a new skyscraper is raised in this zone?'

- For city councils and architects that are measuring heat absorption of concrete from the sun on the hottest day of the year / to model the wind flow through a city street that is acting as a wind tunnel.

The key to its success would be a) accessibility (Google or a third party maintaining this as an easily accessible platform & api) and b) rapid automation/layers (Being able to quickly load template 'scenarios' and apply 'filters' to them, rather than manually manipulating the instance).

While there are plenty of academic and technical tools available now for modeling, there is nothing ubiquitous and simple enough that allows a layman to 'load up the world as of 15/12/2018, now raise the global temperature by 5 Celsius, now fast forward 20 years.' If Google provides the API, then industries will rapidly set itself up around it.

It will be interesting to see how security & privacy are handled in these spaces. How do you prevent (and should you prevent) someone mapping the inside of your own home? Presumably, the primary strategy will be simple obfuscation (3d zones are tagged with a certain privacy level, which forces them to be randomly generated with each instance, rather than allowing true mapping)

*And goes without saying, here's hoping Google practices change so consumers aren't taken advantage of with such a platform

Coming from data warehousing. Rewrites are normally instigated to get rid of data silos. Put everything in one place and model it the say way. Very few of these projects are ever finished and the irony is that each project ends up being a data silo. It is not unusual to have three so data warehouses within an organisation. Each just slightly different from the next but with 80% the same information. Turns out that last 20% in the 80/20 principle is very hard.

I think it's a bit contradictory to choose an insecure OS because a more secure one doesn't support a nice-to-have piece of security hardware. That aside, I'd be interested in the specifics of the "too many problems" that you anticipate on supported hardware (which includes most configurations of the XPS and Precision).
I haven't tried Mamoto/Piwik, but from the looks of it they look like they have a pretty heavy feature set. If it works for you, I don't see any reason to switch. But if you prefer something that's intentionally low on features and "minimal", Fathom is pretty cool.
So I'm guessing:

Soup = liquid ingredients

Salad = solid ingredients randomly mixed together

Sandwich = solid ingredients put into a structure
It's the mode of the trial that is flawed, if compromising it is this trivial.

TCR Party: A token curated registry for humans
Well, yes, using strtok works if the data happens to be structured in a certain simple way.
Very often you want to do something more advanced though, and using regex for matching tokens is then necessary.
Why not?

In this specific case, a unit test that checked this integer overflow seeems to prevent the vulnerability.

To be clear: This is not to admonish sqlite. They have taken testing further than any other project i've heard of, except maybe the NASA software that might cost lives if it fails.
Incremental rewrite isn’t a rewrite at all. It is the better choice though. It is worth noting that refactoring and improving an area of the code without a need to change it or build new features on it is also wasteful.

Housing has a lot of regulation, and also a lot of dirty tricks to cut corners without the buyer having recourse (and it’s usually minor enough problem thatvit’s not worth fightig), and building in specific ways so the owner comes back to the same contractor with a high probability.

Well it was also illegal to charge interests, so in theory it would not be economically rational to lend money except for safekeeping. Lending was probably more about lending land.

Please, no, don't use -Werror with -Wall or -Wextra. When you write your code and compile with -Werror on your old version of GCC (either because you're behind on GCC releases, or because you wrote the code in the past), and I want to compile it with my new version which has added some warnings, I don't want to have to mess around in your build configuration and remove -Werror.

100% disagree. If compilers add new warnings it's because they have new insights in your code, and old invalid but "working" code may not work at all in the newer version and eat your hard disk. So instead of risking your data, just accept that it won't work with this newer version of the language.

But... this isn't about my own code using my preferred build system. Of course you can quickly change any flag if you know the build system works and hiw your project uses it. It will not take 5 seconds with no though to figure out how a build system you have never used before lets you change build flags. Besides, even if it did take just 5 seconds and no thought, I wouldn't know it's necessary before I've tried to compile, maybe noticed that it will take a while because it's a big project, gone away and done something else for a bit, and returned to a failed build because one file a couple of minutes in had an unnecessary set of parentheses somewhere.

I absolutely don't understand what stockholm syndrome has to do with anything. I haven't advocated for any particular build system.

Maybe. But that has nothing to do with what I wrote.

Would you? Or would you like to gather factoids in pursuit of your belief that everyone must make the choices you make?

Not "anticipate". Experienced, after installation (more than once). It was more trouble than it was worth to me.

Copyright is just that, copyright. It's not readright, useright, flyright or workforright.

The license for foo can say "by copying foo, you affirm your acceptance of the following conditions: …" and if you do copy foo and nothing else gives you the right to copy it, then those conditions are what you must've accepted, right? Of course you may argue the point, but that's the theory.

However, if what you do is use foo or fly with KLM, not copy foo, and don't affirm your acceptance by other means (such as signing a document), then copyright doesn't apply.

EDIT: And even if it does apply, it's not clear to me that what it applies to is the non-copying bit. If copying and flying with KLM are incompatible, then it's not clear to me that copyright can ban the latter.
China has had 4 or 5 revolutions (depending on whether you want to count the Cultural Revolution; it was perhaps an anti-revolution where while revolutions normally attempt to overthrow the government, the cultural revolution attempted to maintain the government's power) in the last century. There are few countries in the world that can say they've gone through five revolutions within the last century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Revolution

I believe it has a long history of unrest in the modern era compared to all large countries (measured by population) out there. The Chinese government knows their own history and people well, and I believe they are managing the risk with a serious mindset. Their methods may be up for debate, but they're not of the mindset that there's no risk.
What you say is kind of being done with open-access repositories like arXiv (minus the requirement to include reference to the free version), and it has been a step forward. But publishing the same article in two journals is severely frowned upon in the scientific community. And even if this changed, journal publishers like Elsevier, Springer, etc. require authors to sign a copyright transfer agreement and forbid publication in any other journal. There is no way they are going to relinquish this.

Education free of charge and accessible to every child, in my opinion, is the greatest achievement in human history.

However education for which you need to get into debt is something that I really don't think is a progress. It is still better than no education or education for which you have to join a political party or a religion, but it is actually a step back from free education.

Currency is just a fungible way of trading value. It means you don't need to use barter. A government could easily print enough currency to represent all the debt available, but they'd want to own the corresponding assets and income streams in return.

I’m fairly sure that different body parts do provide easier access to the blood brain barrier. In this case, I would guess that it’s because of the mucous membranes in the nasal cavity. There must be a reason people snort cocaine rather then just rub it on their hands.
Since the three axes do not sum to one, there is something clearly missing within their model.

Hmmm. I think a triangular graph would be a better way of representing the data -- this would also expose the hole at the centre of their model; that there are no foods which are equal mixtures of soup, salad and sandwich.

I feel this is an important avenue for further research, and I seek funding to discover the triple-S food...
I totally agree.

In a country with a balanced trade deficit (exports are the same that imports), in order to keep the economy working at the same pace, if the public debt is reduced, the private debt have to grow. As you said, it's an accounting truth.

So, when they don't distinguish between private and public debt they are just confusing the issue.
This would mean that only 2.14 billion are indebted? At the same time, how does it include public vs. private debt?

I think it would be really interesting how the figure of $86,000 per person was calculated.

Cheap unlimited energy leads to heat pollution per the laws of thermodynamics. Asimov Foundation series first book warned about this in passing. Be careful what you wish for!
Follow-ups to see what other phenotypes are associated with GWAS hits have occupied a meaningful fraction of the mindshare of statistical genetics over the past few years: GREML, BOLT-LMM’s REML, and MTAG are examples of tools for evaluation and exploitation of the genetic correlation between traits.

I would add that PheWAS is often performed with specific genetic instruments of interest, and can be performed with aggregate measures such as a genetic risk score. This lets you see association across a slew of traits at once.
A new compiler version isn't a new version of the language. Most warnings are about completely valid code which nonetheless should be avoided. Code which was correct in an earlier version if GCC continues to be correct in new versions of GCC.

Unused variables, using `if (somevar = othervar)` instead of `if ((somevar = othervar))`, code which uses operators without parentheses where GCC has decided the operator precedence is unexpected and should have extra parentheses to be clearer, a switch which doesn't cover all the values of an enum, unnecessary parentheses in a variable declaration. Those are all warnings which absolutely don't mean that the code is broken. The author should absolutely fix new warnings like that, but that shouldn't be the responsibility of someone who just wants to use your open source project.

Currency is physical tokens of value for trading money. Money is a system that fulfills several criteria: unit of account, medium of exchange and store of value. Not debt in any meaningful sense, apart from systems that lack trust for store of value or stability for unit of account, in which case explicitly linking to another less easily gamed asset is supposed to increase trust.

Debt can be money if the legal system is sound. But money doesn't need to be debt if the money issuer is trusted not to debase the currency.

Sorry to hear you got fired, good luck finding a new gig. I guess RN or Flutter make sense if you're building for both, I'm not totally against it I just like the idea of using the tools the platform gives you. But I admit it might not be the most practical approach.
I hadn't entirely fleshed out the idea, but yeah.

Take a simple NN with 3 layers: 5 neurons in the input layer, 3 in the hidden and 1 output.

Force inputs to neuron 4 and 5 in the hidden layer to be zero, and force inputs to neurons 2-5 to be zero in the output layer (and ignore their output). I'm assuming the transfer function obeys f(0) = 0, if not, fix output to zero as well.

My thought was this would be similar to how you enforce boundary conditions when solving partial differential equations by directly setting the value of certain matrix elements before running the solver.

Again, may be completely silly.
Better yet: Stick with Mongo, create regression tests, switch out or simplify the framework and add integration testing.

It is often viable to take the meat of a system and place it in a new framework with some alterations.

And for the performance issue, just identify what causes it by timing parts of your code. I'm guessing home grown database wrapper.
