There was an existing RJ11 socket in the wall behind my bed. Sadly, nothing more exciting.

It's totally possible it was a hiccup. I had been using the line for weeks with the same number, and then it suddenly started to reliably redirect to emergency dispatch.

I thought I had read previously that numbers containing 911 would redirect in the case that a potential victim has misdialed in a hurry. This incident was over a decade ago, so its possible that I misread an article or found a garbage source.
Maps, BatteryGate, the unpopular decision to kill the jack, Butterfly KeyboardGate, the increasingly vocal unhappiness of professional users...

There are probably more, but those are the obvious ones.
I'm sure I'm missing something about the business, but I've wondered why you so frequently only get a year of paid DLC for a title. They burn a lot of resources making a game, then abandon it to do it all over again. They'll repackage Skyrim a half-dozen times to sell it again, obviously people are playing it. Why aren't they pushing new DLC for these people?
Why quit when you can use both?
The real issue is that this is more nuanced than is appropriate for one-size-fits-all advice. "Everyone should use a monorepo" isn't helpful, but neither is "everyone should not use a monorepo."

Sadly, this article falls into the same trap.
I know what a Padé approximant is but I am not sure how it is relevant. expm1 is available as part of the math library in JavaScript, just as it is also available for C. You do not have to implement it yourself.

The exact implementation depends on your math library, but in glibc it appears to reduce the argument modulo log 2, and then uses an approximation found in part by the Remez algorithm for the exponential function on the range [0, 0.5 log2]. My assumption here is that the Remez algorithm will often be preferred over Padé, but I am not an expert on these things. The Padé approximant gives an approximation “near” a point but the Remez algorithm finds an approximation over an entire interval. In either case, the Remez algorithm is only used to construct one part of the function, and there is also some effort to propagate error from the argument reduction. The resulting algorithm claims <1 ULP error.

For matrix exponentiation you would need a library.
It is a valid point that it does not really do anything at that a phone half the cost doesn’t.

My problem with the price is that I don’t want to drop or lose something that costs $1400.
So my team is using eclipse with autogenerated makefiles. STM used to generate projects only for some WIN32 IDEs and their eclipse.
There are 2 hobby projects which I set up with this project: https://github.com/ObKo/stm32-cmake. The genius that set up this github project saved me a lot of work and it worked perfectly with my STM32F746. (Maybe there is a similar project for your board ?)

But for my work project i am using compilation databases, which works great with sources that are included in your makefile. It gets a bit tedious recompiling but there is a way to automate this. Ah one thing that i noticed sources that are not included or libraries with your drivers and middlewares that you link against are not recognized and a warning will appear.
Eclipse was a bit smarter as it could resolve those dependencies.

Likely any grievance one user has is shared by many other users who are silent about it, because those others didn't even care enough about your software to bother posting an issue. Worse, you often see this same grievance aired time and time again over years and it is still dismissed out of hand.

>Frankly, a lot of users really do have bad workflows, questionable use-cases and they are relatively uninformed and often unwilling to learn why things work the way they do.

Yes, everyone thinks this about everyone else's workflow. Part of being a good developer, I think, is that just because you can't understand why someone wants to do a certain thing doesn't mean that their use case is invalid. That's childish and, frankly, entirely expected of Open Source Dev culture, which has a nasty habit of being condescending to users.
There are public companies that operate this way as well, like utilities. There is no reason a tech company couldn’t as well, but the stock price would need to drop to reflect minimal growth. No more 20x multiples.
Sometimes all that's needed is a little pressure and motivation mixed with morale from strong leadership to encourage people to spent a day or so upgrading and testing. Maybe not in this case though. That might not have been enough here, who knows.
It would be cool to run a machine learning model server written in Python and start a connection to it with JS, all in a tab.
> between wind energy from West Texas and the Gulf Coast, and solar energy across the state, Texas could meet a significant portion of its electricity demand from renewable power without extensive battery storage. The reason: These sources generate power at different times of day, meaning that coordinating them could replace production from coal-fired plants.

There are a couple of off the shelf mechanicals I've seen over the years that include a trackpoint.

I think these are the two I'm aware of presently:

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_det... (built in)

https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ (as a module)

I have used neither. But i've considered trying to hack a trackpoint into one of my modded Kinesis Advantages ( I'm thinking at the intersection of RTFG or YUHJ.
The women’s room on the station is marked W and the men’s room is marked M, and the doors are round.
As a not so old gamer (30), I do find there is a big change which is important for me and a lot of people: games are more "safe" for minorities. There's less sexism and racism. You see plenty of games about LGBT or illegal migrants struggles. There's more and more strong female characters (Kassandra in the last Assassin's Creed is so great). So it might a problem of generation.

EDIT: this is a response to the comments here, not the article.
There's a short segment where CNLohr shows how he recompiles the code on the fly by using TCC (Tiny C Compiler). That seems rather useful to me, but I don't fully understand what determines which variables of state are persistent across recompilation. I have never used TCC before, but from a rudimentary search I learn you can pass a flag to compile & execute such that C can be used as if it was a scripting language. He mentions storing the environment in environment variables. Is he literally storing the position and orientation of the camera in the shell environment variables? or am I missing some other way to choose what parts of the state are persistent across on-the-fly recompilation?
But that would require me to own the stock for months or years rather than milliseconds
You're exactly correct. There was a hidden RJ11 socket behind my bed that I plugged a previously-forgotten phone into. There was only one line shared throughout the house, which occasionally caused some problems with my _master plan_.
Currently everything is based on Windows Core or has been discontinued.
Xbox One has moved to Windows 10/Core, was previously based on top of Windows 8. Windows Mobile has been discontinued, and even had migrated to a Windows NT kernel before it was discontinued. ( https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-windows-phone-8-fin... )
Not sure the status of Windows CE from an official support perspective (their life-cycle page isn't working for it) but their documentation lists as disconnected as of 2014.

I also don't believe any of their experimental OS projects are still active. ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/operating-sys... )

At the end of all that, you can argue that there are two operating systems at Microsoft currently. Xbox One and Windows 10. The UI of the XBox is a sufficiently large enough gap in design/functionality that I would concede it to be a separate entity.

Edit:
There was a concerted effort at MS to get on to a single OS around the Windows 8/Mobile days. This was also the death of CE and switch to Windows 8 between XBox 360 and XBox one. Granted the backlash of the tablet style interface of Windows 8 was not insignificant, but you see it's refinement in Windows 10 today.

It also furthers the notion that "coding is easy" and if it doesn't come easy to you then you simply aren't a good programmer and will never be one.
Middle class does not mean "median income". I don't know why anyone below is suggesting that. It's a range, between lower and upper.

Someone can make $200k+ per year for a family of 5 and still be "middle class" and I don't think anyone would be shocked if they owned an iPhone.

Edit: Specifically, "middle class" is not defined with respect to the nation's income. It's a loose definition based on job/lifestyle/purchasing power, which are correlated to income, but not strictly defined by it.
I think people would do well to read about the propaganda model.

> start to see that unsound money is the root cause of many of the problems with society and government

This is a real "if you have a golden hammer everything looks like a nail" philosophy.
This article kind of bothers me with its elitist attitude; it seems to view anything below upper-middle class as aesthetically offensive. And I don't really like the view that corporate stores are inherently good and mom-and-pop stores are bad. I agree with the article as far as economics, but shopping at a place more downscale than Williams and Sonoma shouldn't be viewed as a shameful thing. "Mall of Shame", really?
That's not meaningful to me (I'm a Haskell novice), but the thing I care about is that the compiler doesn't reject correct code (and no, "correctness" is not defined by the compiler, it's defined by the desired behavior). Whether that property comes from relaxing functional purity or some library, I don't much care.
I'd be surprised if OP has gone and spliced an additional line instead of their just being a socket in their room already.

I wouldn't. This is how the nerdier of my friends got their computers online in the 80's.

In early modem days, a lot of people bought modems without thinking the whole process through. Once they got it home, they realized that either the room with the computer didn't have a phone line, the phone jack was inconveniently located, or after spending $300 on a 150-300 baud modem, they didn't realize they'd have to spend another $200 on a phone line + $50/month for the jack + $xx for dialtone.

Splicing phone lines and fishing them through the walls with a coat hangar became an art. And if it wasn't practical in your house, you sometimes ran a phone line through the trees to your buddy's house.

It was all very educational.
In the mid-1990s I lived in a San Jose neighborhood with underground utilities. Sometimes water would get into the phone lines and cause short circuits.

After one bad rainstorm, our phone was unusable. If you picked up the handset you would just hear a bunch of clicks.

Then two police officers knocked on the door. They said someone had called 911 from my number, they called back and no one answered, so they were required to come out and investigate.

I told them no one had called 911 and we were fine. Then it dawned on me: the clicks!

I invited them in so they could listen to the phone, and explained how old rotary dial phones work: by opening and closing the circuit once to dial a 1, twice for 2, etc. And the phone system still supported rotary dial phones.

Sure enough, with random clicks all day, the phone circuit had just happened to detect nine clicks, pause, one click, pause, and one click.

> Only airlines which have 50.1% EU ownership have ‘flying rights’ to operate between two airports within the EU.

Forgive my ignorance towards this law. One wonders if this is economic protectionism or for security (I am aware of similar situations in other countries/regions). So I couldn't have a majority-Norwegian-owned airline that did Germany to France stops? One wonders if all countries are happy with such policies or if this type of protectionism is more justification for self-determinism for the countries that disagree.

Also, could this be another way to look at it: you no longer have to be a majority-EU-owned airline to fly between UK and EU country. I.e. UK would not be subject to such EU rules. Of course companies with many avenues for revenue are going to conform to the most strict of them to get all business when reasonable. That doesn't always make it best for citizens.
Agreements for trade are not a boolean issue; you can have better or worse ones. They could want to come back if offered a better deal than they get by being outside.
'Project Cars' developer is making 'most powerful console ever'

I agree %100 with the indie market. I think the two most played games on my Switch are Overcooked 1/2 and Stardew Valley. Overcooked 2 has been awesome in that my siblings, our significant others, and I can get on a phone chat then play it as if we are on the couch together. We have been carving out a night a week so we can do it, and it has been a great experience.

Sadly, we wanted to do that with Super Mario Party and Super Smash Bros (we played those games extensively as kids), and both of those games online mode are hampered to the point that we tried playing it once, then going back to Overcooked.
How do you define "major"? How do you define "product"?

If my "major" you mean "more than 100MM users", it's been a while, but then what was the last (new) product launch by any established company that has 100MM users? If you drop that to a smaller number, there are tons though.

If by product you mean "consumer product", again, perhaps a while, but I'd argue that there are tons in the business space. (ML, cloud, etc.)
To give more detail on this issue:

If we were to accept May's deal as it was in December, the UK would leave the EU but remain entirely within the custom's union. Afterwards, plans would be made for NI to stay within the custom's union and the rest of the UK to leave. However, there is a term in the 1800 amendment of the the 1707 Acts of Union that says:

“that in all treaties made by his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, with any foreign power, his Majesty’s subjects of Ireland shall have the same privileges, and be on the same footing as his Majesty’s subjects of Great Britain.”

If this term is broken, it reverts all the countries of the UK back to individual states - i.e. Scotland would be independent by default and there is a good chance they would not vote for an amendment to the Acts of Union because they would prefer to stay in the EU.

That leaves politicians with two options: Either keep the UK in the custom's union indefinitely, or break up the United Kingdom.

I really like the look of this. Most programming in my spare time is done within a more functional paradigm.

But I can't help but wonder if companies ever go for these kind if extensions / frameworks / languages.

I will play around with this one though!

We didn’t just drop the idea of Brexit either. The country has [supposedly] put more than two years hard graft into figuring this out. The unanimous result of the research time invested is that it’ll be worse for everyone.

Here in NYC there's a disease of loud hip hop and rap music blasted in innocuous places like expensive restaurants and wine bars, places where you'd expect to have a conversation with someone that doesn't involve yelling. Since it's intended to be loud, the long bass beats drown out voices, and then comes a rapper voice in the form of an angry yell. So a guy is yelling at me when I'm trying to eat. Is this a political statement or routine Top 40s playlist playing?

It's played out loud on the subway as well on people's phones. Two problems:

My Sennheisers with noise canceling don't work on hip hop.

Even if they did, it'd be awkward to bring them on a date.
I also have both, and I love both. I'm about as fast with both, although gaming with a trackpoint is a positively joyful experience.
Don't think I am trying to diminish the importance of this post but Gerald Weinberg has talked about all these concepts a long time ago in his books. Sadlly, I discovered him (through DHH book recommendations) at a much later stage in my career.Gerald Weinberg should be a required reading to all software engineers.
Games are still games, what do people expect? Also the cost of creating games has skyrocket but the price is the same for the last 20 years. I think most people forget that an average 35y/o has 20 years of video game experience, it's not like he's going to discover anything new.
Release engineering is a conservative profession. They won't thank you for upsetting all their established processes, introducing new software and systems that have to be maintained, and kept running just because you don't like how your code is laid out.

It's harder to make a business value case for this type of change - there are only vaguely worded promises of "improved developer velocity". Contrast that with a change that automates or makes faster some aspect of building and releasing - a professional release engineering team would be all over it because they can demonstrate value in that work.

In any company beyond 50 people, there are multiple engineering managers, directors or the VP of engineering that will need to back this initiative to make the release engineering team do it. It's really not as simple as "dump all the code in one repo". I'm speaking from experience.
When I was a kid I "spliced" a line (connected it to screw terminals in the box on the side of the house) from my parent's main phone to the basement so I could shotgun two dial-up modems in the middle of the night (the basement already was wired for the 2nd fax/internet line). I wasn't explicitly trying to keep it a secret, but I also didn't tell anyone, my dad found it after a couple months when he tried to make a particularly late phone call and heard modem noise.
The only thing that was negatively conveyed in the video, is that it was apparent that the FOV on the device is narrow...

At one point, the camera shifted and you could see the image in the device fade out...

Also - it seems the viewing angle is fairly specific?

What would these look like mounted to a wall, perpendicular to the floor? Are they usable?
