Apple products that implement AAC over A2DP only do so on iOS devices (and in only limited cases), and also do not implement anything else (such as any form of AptX, or LDAC).
Unreal Engine is honestly awesome. I recently purchased an AAA game called “DB FighterZ,” built on UE, and the game experience is top-notch.

It piqued my interest in game programming once again.
It's possible to do the analysis, but instead of trusting that it gets done I'd rather use a slightly different method that only has a success path.

Slack’s performance issues have nothing to do with the people using it’s abilities.

As much as it annoys me too, it appears that people actually using it have enough tolerance for it that it doesn’t matter.
I really hate this kind of numerology. cosines don't have intimate relationship with euclidean distance - the dot product and the norm aren't equivalent https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/528864/is-every-nor.... I also have no idea what you mean by normal distribucións being most continuous because CLT? and then what's linearity got to do with continuity? normal distribucións are convenient to work with simply because of the exponential (other exponential families are also nice to work with). again don't know what you mean by normals being nicely differentiable. lots of PDFs are differentiable (in fact most functions are easy to differentiate). finally you only have to farther than an undergrad book to see what most things are actually not high school trig (e.g. time dependent models like SDEs or Bayesian inference with intractable marginals)
Did you have insurance and if yes, did they pay?

To clarify a few hort points : flowers are part of the herb and are treated / sold as herbs in the herb trade. A few common examples : Chamomile, Calendula, rose [R. gallica]

Generally, all herbs require curing [e.g., fan-driven air drying at a specific temperature] if not sold fresh; in addition, the work of developing a cultivar or strain is similar for a great many trade herbs that are farmed as opposed to gathered in the wild [e.g., the numerous types of basil, F1 hybrids of parsley, valerian cultivars of varying potency, etc etc]
Agreed. We need online communities.
I've never had the left half of my keyboard crap out when I plugged it into a USB port.

I have never gotten both the input, and the output half of a bluetooth headset to work on Windows 10. But that's understandable, since I'm sure Microsoft is strapped for resources, and has more important things to work on - like the bricking the data in My Documents in an OS update.

Even if you don't want the microphone to work, getting sound to come out of a BT headset on Windows 10 is a struggle in itself.
When answering how and where to store X, the answer should always consider "have less X" as an option or meta-solution, because it makes simpler, cheaper solutions possible and obviates overblown ones. I don't need to assume anything about the person; it's universally applicable. It obeys a power law too. Half the junk somehow gets you down to a quarter of the hassle most of the time.

Honestly, after the experience described, I would consider the person a work hazard and try to make sure they didn't touch anything business critical.
You again? The only other time your account has posted was to plug TVM in a different post on Halide. If you're not a Tianqi Chen sockpuppet, then you should apologize to him for making him look like an asshole.

For the benefit of others not aware: TVM took Halide, deleted the half of it they didn't understand, then reimplemented it (copy-pasting large chunks without credit, hacks and all) and claimed it was a revolutionary new deep learning IR. People who already knew Halide were left scratching their heads unable to tell how this wasn't just Halide re-marketed in a different community.
That is an absolute nonsense link that you are trying to make there. Lost sales are sales that make assumptions about every sale as though it is lost as a result of piracy, an alternative and often more convenient mode of delivery.

Denying half (or even more than half) of your citizens access to education and more prestigious stem jobs means you are tossing away an Einstein or a Bohr once every generation or so. The cumulative costs of that are enormous, and are compounding, compared to that a couple of $ of money that does not end up in the pockets of media moguls is very small potatoes.
The thing that troubles me the most is the hubris of Facebook to think that they can even attempt to define and enforce speech codes. It is their site, so they can do what they want, but I can also do what I want and not use it. Given Facebook's massive drop in stock price this year, it seems like their investors think Facebook is following the wrong path as well.
It’s cynical, but not a joke.

Big institutions are fundamentally feudal organizations. If you look back at medieval times, some of the lords and dukes were wise men driven by some higher purpose. Others were not.

The tools have changed, but people are the same.

It’s also why regulation is so important. Like feudal lords, the agents of the overlord (ie the auditors) are feared and respected. Compliance tied to compensation or continued employment is something that is cared about.

Thanks for stating this, I never realized the potential connection between the two. I'm going to do the same thing from now on.
Not all organizations have such robust communication structures, low levels of dysfunction, or git hygiene. Also, as mentioned, in a corporate environment where the software is proprietary and certain source files may sit dormant long enough for the original authors to move on from the company, it's important that they don't take the "how/why" part with them, so to speak, and leave the next maintainer SOL.
I know that’s what happens, but the bug is that it stays in that mode even after the VM has relinquished its claim on the microphone.

Note that this only started happening in this particular scenario after 10.14. It happens in other scenarios from time to time (that is, it stays in HSP even after the app requesting mic use is quit).
Don't worry. I'm sure they're getting plenty of help from the State Department.
Well there are localized social networks in countries where Facebook is blocked or just unpopular. WeChat in China, VKontakte in Russia. I'm not sure that's any better?

What does localized even mean anymore, and who should decide whether someone is sufficiently "local" to qualify as a moderator?
Thank you for the link. Could people who have studied it answer whether it is similar to the code here?
As much as I would implore you to document the why as a comment in the code after your experience, I have also learned the hard way that 'why' can be a moving target given enough time.

DRY is one of the most overly used of the software adages. It more often leads to premature abstraction and overly complex code. My personal preference is explicit code.

The gamble is the removal of a central key registry. If you are assigning these UUID/ULIDs as... UIDs then you need to be able to assign them uniquely... if multiple servers/threads/whatevers can generate and assign them independently then there is a chance you'll suffer from ID collision... it's incredibly rare though.
Giving people a free ride can be a valid selfish act.

When I enjoy paying all my tax that covers social systems like healthcare and decent schools and welfare, it's not because I'm altruistic. It's because I believe it's the cheapest way to not get stabbed and robbed that also doesn't feel like a dystopian gated community.

Or put more absurdly: I want quality NPCs in my world. (not that they're mindless automatons, but that I want prosperity for all those people who make up the backdrop of my experience, even if they're not immediate friends, family, colleagues)

Massive competition leads to a decisive, if catastophic, yet Pyrrhic victory of attrition, perhaps?

Also, I think with: "very biased" to describe point of view is an unnecessary editorialization, , and "severely questionable assumption" I totally disagree with.
The idea of intellectual property is now so deeply ingrained in the average person's consciousness that a mere "concept" can be "stolen" now.
I mean, yeah, I agree. And it's useful to be reminded that it isn't natural lest we take it for granted. But why the strawman setup/teardown at the end:

Nowadays, unsubstantiated fears of monstrosities created by genetic engineering...threaten to slow down research and development in crucial areas, including coping with climate change.

One could respond that progress is responsible for climate change in the first place. Point being, fears about progress are hardly "unsubstantiated", and it is useful to step back from time to time and think about what we're moving towards.
Yeah, I did and yes, they did, although exactly how is a bit more convoluted due to my somewhat unusual insurance arrangement.
Having spent 25+ years writing, viewing, commenting on and reviewing code in a multitude of languages, this is good stuff to see - regardless of the 'style' of programming (or the language broadly-speaking).

Stepping back and whilst we can all overlook it, good code comments can make an enormous difference in productivity - both for an individual, a team and indeed a business. It aids repository knowledge (something that is easily lost between current and prior teams/individuals), which shouldn't be mistaken for the intelligence of someone looking at code...

I've spent far too much time personally and otherwise attempting to reverse-engineer code written by someone with no comments or explanation. At times, super experienced programmers/developers will take performance-enhancing shortcuts that the less-experienced don't understand; They'll compress routines and functions that are a result of their explicit knowledge of a language and/or domain but without explanation...

On a basic level, comments should: inform, educate, outline and help others understand the sometimes complex routines and functions that we all create and often under an enormous amount of pressure.

There are those that believe good code shouldn't need explanation and to some degree that's true, but you can't apply that brush to every codebase. Code can become complex, awkward, spaghetti-like and almost unfathomable at times.

I've always strived to teach less experienced developers to comment well, efficiently and with a little humor/humour (where possible); Something that allows us to understand code quickly, appreciate the efforts of those before us and smile/grin at the complexity of a challenge.

Personally, I don't really care about the code/comment ratio - It's a complete red herring. At times, code comments can be worth more than the code itself. At other times, they just help you get your job done; quickly, efficiently, no fuss, just great code.
God this a thousand times. How in the /fuck/ have we allowed our medical system to come to this?

I get the negotiation side of things. I get that the leverage insurance companies have is the culprit. But at the end of the day, hospitals just upcharge so they have the upper hand in negotiation. There’s no reason that individuals who choose not to go the insurance route are artificially charge X times what insurance companies are. There’s no excuse.

Charge them the cost of the procedures with whatever markup is reasonable for the hospital to stay in business. It shouldn’t be any other way.
I have also developed a strong preference for the latter. I was always on the fence until I got my hands on generative testing (quickcheck, etc).

Now I want the powerful language and I can just slam it with generated tests to get the same level of confidence as the guardrail languages (in practice definitely, although I understand this is not true in theory, so unspit your coffee Haskell people).

Oh right and this is currently Clojure, so a functional language that definitely does help me make a great product. Less time implementing correctly means more time for product refinement.
And it was too soft to use in tools and such, so people didn't have to choose between doing something with it and spending it.

Meaning they will be provided with free beverages.
Perhaps no longer surprising, but of note especially to people in other countries, with regard to health care in the U.S.

People are frankly -- and justifiably -- scared of going to the emergency room. To the point of declining transport from the scene of an accident or other medical event, etc.

They actively ask people not to call an ambulance.

It's not necessarily that they fear the doctor or the treatment. They fear the bill.

And yes, often enough these are people with insurance.

A couple of years ago, I faced bills north of three grand, because someone called the paramedics when I didn't need them. I'd purchased the best insurance plan available to me, that year, and I was told at the time that service should be covered. Nope: Insurance failed to pick up the majority of it.

Fortunately, I could afford to cover the expense. And the paramedics -- part of the local fire department rather than privately owned -- forgave the balance of their charges when they learned that insurance had crapped out on all but a couple of hundred. (It cost, at that time, about a grand just to "roll the bus", with surcharges added to that for actual service and transport.)

That last was another reminder that public, non-profit safety can be a lot kinder than private, for-profit.
I’m not sure about the specifics with swift, but I thinking he’s referring to a type, URL. Ruby has a URI module that you would use to work with uri strings, and I think that’s exactly what he is taking about.

But with optimistic concurrency, why is this a gamble? It's an overhead that comes as a result of the trade-offs, sure, but it's a finite cost. Collision can be handled without breaking anything at the cost of implementation complexity.
I could agree with Feynman on too many levels of laws being boring. But arguably all discoveries in physics become useful sooner or later. So the title question is moot.
I think this is a compelling argument, but the advocates for more social services never seem to use it.
"Insurance" can't solve the issue of sky-high healthcare costs. In fact, the closest thing to a quick solution (a real solution would require draining the swamp altogether, by reforming the entire healthcare sector essentially from the ground up) is its very opposite, namely price transparency, with the end-user paying directly for their health care. This doesn't mean doing away with insurance entirely, but it will have to be catastrophic insurance, the main purpose of which will be dealing with truly rare health conditions/medical emergencies, albeit with a sub-component of subsidizing cheap preventive care.

2. Start building. Literally, start with the barebones Hello World given in the article. Then gradually turn it into your site, making liberal use of Stack Overflow (direct search) and Google.

So your problem is that beginners make things and you have to sift through it on day zero without the help of reviews, and/or aren't aware of Steam's generous refund policy.

Excuse me if I find that viewpoint to be very disrespectful to indie developers. I know there is a problem with "asset flippers", but you have to take the good with the bad. Open access is not a bad thing.

Indie devs are honest people just trying to express themselves. If anyone "deserves" anything, it's the indie dev to not be treated like shit by their customers. They don't make games with the intent of getting huge and annoying 1% of the self-identified "hardcore" gamers with their idiosyncrasies. They are just trying to do their best with the resources they have. Sometimes (rarely) they hit on a recipe that captures the zeitgeist and makes them grow way far out of control for what they are prepared for. That doesn't mean they deserve to be bitched at our told they are screwing their customers.

If you think the "tiniest perception of bias must be avoided"for judges (who interpret the law), then the same extends to those who write it.

Yes, but that would require lower costs (prices). That we could get if pricing were more transparent. I believe that will require moving back to high-deductible 80/20 style insurance.

Devolving moderation on national level (as opposed to centralized global) would be a start, but also self selecting groups. If you choose to be in a Singaporean page, group, forum, etc., you abide by their localization.
Completely agree here, except for the "quality NPCs" bit. Remember, "There, but for the grace of God, go I". It both enrages and saddens me that people will willingly suffer more pain trying to keep "free riders" out than save the bureaucratic labor and just let everyone in and "buy in bulk".

Other countries get better care for less per person, in some cases much less. Americans are irrationally, short-sightedly selfish and cheap when it comes to medical threats to our well-being. If only we could frame this as a national security issue...
