"Englanders' grease"? Is that an underhanded insult regarding the origins of people who visit Sidmouth...?

As an "Englander", I don't think ever been called one in my life! I think its main use is pejoratively in "Little Englander", which I'd normally assume "Englander" was shorthand for.

Perhaps it was selected to avoid "men" in "Englishmen"? "Tourists'" may have been more correct (and gender neutral)...
This is awesome. Straight-forward mechanics, engaging, and it could really just end there.

I hope to inspire in my own kids something you have shared with your little brother. A true gift!

Thank you for sharing.

Will it do them a lot of good though?

Soviets ended up controlling East Germany, but the didn't capitalize on that. US did much better with the culturally identical West Germany. This isn't exactly Socialism / Capitalism battle we have here, but if China ends up controlling most corrupt states while the West ends up with the least corrupt states the long-term outcome might be similar.
I think most people who are in this predicament consciously choose not to think about it in order to avoid the cognitive dissonance. Destroying your philosophical model of reality and remaking it is not exactly a pleasant process. Something you find out when you go vegetarian or vegan is that if that gets brought up, which usually happens in the context of rejecting an offer of food or being questioned about why your plate only has crackers at a potluck, many meat eaters will suddenly feel the need to explain why they think it is ok to eat meat. Perhaps that's just preemptive and a result of encountering more militant vegetarians in the past, but I think it is more likely to be a result of being reminded of their cognitive dissonance. Who are they trying to convince? I didn't ask for an explanation of their dietary choices and don't feel any particular need to explain mine.
Is that I said though? You think the existence of cryptocurrency plays no part in facilitating ransom demands?
That is a good question. And I'm sure it's because the reality isn't much like what we perceive from TV and movies. And cartels and crime organizations are far from omnipotent.

They don't have infinite resources. And if they can't get at a person easily, trivially even, maybe it's just not worth the effort a lot of the time. Especially once the damage has been done.

> It's been always puzzling to me why borrowing Latin alphabet is usually considered today the only option. Many languages have phonetic alphabets of their own.

The Latin alphabet is the most popular phonetic alphabet, and keyboards (and formerly typewriters) for it are widely available. Not so for many of the others.

I can see that being a major motivation for Latinization, especially for smaller languages.
This doesn't substantiate your claim at all...
> I consider Photos and essential app to the phone.

So do I, but OS vendors are making that experience worse by 'integrating' it to some cloud bullshit whether I want it to or not.

My Galaxy S7 (with all the bloatware the article mentions) was replaced with an "Android One" device from Nokia. First thing I noticed on the Nokia was that the only gallery app was Google Photos, which I want nothing to do with.

The Galaxy S7 had Google Photos, but also Samsung's stock Gallery app, which I greatly preferred because it acts exactly like the dumb pipe I want it to. Same with Samsung Music. On the Nokia, I had to install an alternative app because Play Music is unusable with the constant nagging to join their streaming service.

I really don't get why all the charging networks in Europe require you to sign up, get a card, download an app, etc. It's ridiculous.

2019's "sign up, get a card, download an app" is like 1990's "Leave your name and contact information. Our sales people will contact you."
What we can learn from Australians
Compute (rather than I/O) heavy and highly multithreaded stuff skews towards AMD. Most applications benefit more from Intel's caching and single-core turbo boost features than they do from AMD's more discrete style of multithreading and weaker single-core mode tech.
You mean that it will be perceived as so difficult to use that people will ignore it in favor of anything else? Calling that an advantage is a rather unique perspective. General document creation is not exactly something only a few specialists need to do.
Let’s say Google suddenly goes bankrupt or otherwise blows up, like Bear Sterns or Enron or half the banking industry ten years ago.

The chance of a dev getting the same job with the same comp is suddenly much lower, and will be like that for years, especially if said dev is looking for another job in the Mountain View area.

Google crashing would flood the market with very similar job seekers and would also likely cause FAAN stock prices to tank as well, making their comp much worse in total too.

Might be worth watching an episode of the show to better understand what Kondo's process is. She doesn't clean or work some one off magic. She teaches 5(?) core lessons to help maintain tidiness. She doesn't excavate their piles of stuff for them.
It's just a trailer for the show. This small japanese woman walks in people's homes with a huge smile and helps them organize their stuff. Houses are mostly full of piles of unneeded things and there are many cutscenes of people crying over getting rid of some things with sentimental value (deceased husband's clothes for example).

Most of the conversation in this thread is about the content of the article. The video was just for context.
There were some rumors before this announcement that AMD would announce SKUs with 1 CPU die (6-8 cores activated) + 1 GPU die or with 2 CPU dies (8-16 cores activated). But AMD didn't announce any SKUs - seems they're a bit behind on schedule.
If you play dnd like #2, the solution is a new gm/group, not a new rule system... that said, I'm not a great fan of level based games, and really do like White Wolf's Storyteller-system. (vampire the masquerade, mage the Ascension).

But like with any other rules I've seen - it requires some discipline and agreement to not stray too far into the rules part. Rules are just guidelines that help avoid the worst of: "Bang! Bang! You're dead!" ; "No, I'm not! You missed!"...

No rpg rules are complete enough to form a full simulation - any attempt to do so will likely sap fun out of the game. They're just a helpful frame of reference.
Anything before 2015 is the nineties to me! But you're right, I only got an internet connection around 2000, so it must have been then.

Yes, it has come full circle - but SOAP XML and friends were rightfully despised. The spec is a mess and there are so many broken implementations all over the place. I have fond memories of debugging the PHP SOAP client in order to build a bug-by-bug compatible Python version :-)

Very cool. Nice trick you guys did there with the lighter colored block, and the red enemy not being able to follow across the boundary. A lot of game developers I respect and whose games I've enjoyed started programming at a young age with simple tools which allowed getting their hands dirty. While javascript is a great language to do this, you might want to consider Game Maker Studio as well.
Maybe, maybe not. We don't know how China will handle being a world superpower in the future [depending on how you read history you could call various dynasties a world superpower].

Russia has reasons to not like the US, but that doesn't mean they will like China more - that is one reason they are neutral. I could make a case that Russia would prefer the US to China - but it is just an argument, only history will tell how changing world affected Russia. Even history cannot tell us how things would be different in some alternative history.
No, it is not! It is a carefully constructed and absolutely FRAUDULENT narrative.

Big Media is one giant lying machine. As much as I do not agree with Trump on many of his policies, he is spot on on the "fake news" phenomenon and it happens across all the entire political spectrum. CNN is just as guilty as Fox News.

xxd is distributed with Vim.

I've never thought of xxd as being anything but a "Vim thing".

That it had its own history (1990-1998) before being pulled into Vim is a TIL for me.

Here you go:

https://github.com/vim/vim/tree/master/src/xxd

There might still be other versions of this out there, but I suspect most OS distros pick up xxd by way of packaging Vim.

So if you work on some other xxd, you're probably in a dead fork.

The man page is also from Vim:

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/xxd.1

My first patch to xxd, if I were to work on it, would be to fix the man page to indicate clearly that it's the xxd bundled with Vim.
I still can't think of any time it was announced that global markets would crash and they did actually crash. (I'm at the small limit of that range, with memories of 3 cycles.)

Everything I see points to a crash, but I am not sure a crash is even possible when people expect it.
Do the answers to your rhetorical questions matter? Is there any answer to your questions that makes indentured servitude of minors acceptable?

Not a problem. Just deploy with CloudFormation and it will give you unique names for your resources automatically. You can use the same template for everything and filter by the stack tags it auto adds. Still way easier than dealing with creds, billing, and monitoring for 3 different non-prod accounts. Though I admit that the new aws organizations feature has made the billing setup stuff a little easier.
That's not a controversial position. Neither of your links refute that bilinguals tend to have smaller vocabularies than monolinguals across each individual language.

From your 2nd link:

"However, on tests of vocabulary bilinguals frequently seem to perform
at lower levels than monolinguals (Ben Zeev, 1977b; Doyle, Champagne, & Segalowitz, 1978). The reason for this seems to be that bilingual children have to learn two different labels for everything,
which reduces the frequency of a particular word in either language"

"These findings also support Bialystok’s (2001) suggestions that bilinguals have a greater Total Vocabulary than monolinguals..."

The conclusion says nothing about vocabularies within individual languages, it's only talking about total vocabulary across languages.

Here's another study:

"The profile effects indicated comparable performance of bilingual and monolingual children in basic reading tasks, but lower vocabulary scores for the bilinguals in both languages."

"The distributed characteristic of bilingual knowledge provides an explanation for the low standard scores that have often been reported in bilingual children on vocabulary tests in both the first language (L1) and the L2 (Ben Zeev, 1977a; Fernández et al., 1992; Pearson & Fernández, 1994; Umbel et al., 1992). The low scores do not indicate that bilingual children are poor vocabulary learners, but that some of the vocabulary possessed by bilingual children is encoded in the L1 but not the L2, and vice versa, the signature pattern of the distributed characteristic."

Time pressure, mostly. Kitchens are full of people working exactly as quickly as they possibly can while working "sustainably" (in a very weak sense of the word.) It's the efficiency doctrine at its worst: any cook that's not producing at 100% is "spare capacity" that could be used to serve more customers, faster. Restaurants are planned, booked, and staffed so that the cooks will always need to be working at 100% to have even adequate service levels.

On the other hand, some kinds of restaurants—diners, for one—are operated with a different mindset, and don't have much connection to the larger "restaurant industry." Cooks that aren't forced to operate at 100% all the time are genuinely friendly and relaxed people (and also have enough time to both take your order themselves and then make whatever customizations you might ask for.)

Mandatory reminder that TSMC "7nm" is not comparable to any Intel node and also doesn't actually represent a uniform 7nm gate width.

The technology and potential in Intels "10nm" and TSMCs "7nm" are similar. What matters is that Intel hasn't managed to successfully deploy a new process node in 4 years and thus competitors like TSMC, Samsung, and GF have had time to catch up and surpass Intels fab tech in various ways.

Conditionality isn't a bad thing. This particular version of conditionality, combined with cuts to housing benefit,combined with the hostile regime around benefits in general, mean people are suffering as a result. Importantly it's not saving any money.

It's not having to drive lyft or die.

It's about being forced to drive for lyft, and still lose your income, and lose your home.

It's not being able to predict your income from one month to the next, which puts you at risk of losing your home because you can't pay rent and the state keeps paying you weird amounts because of the way that benefit works.

We've seen huge rises in street homeless numbers. In 2007 we had about 500 people in the UK sleeping on the street. Today that's over 4,000 people.

Given the housing prices in the Bay Area, comparing the joy you get from something with the cost to store it, can really help with decluttering. I live in a smallish apartment, and was tempted to rent some extra storage for stuff like holiday decorations and other stuff used seasonally. Then I realized at $100/month for the extra storage, it is cheaper for me to buy the seasonal stuff every year and then when I am done with it to throw away/recycle it.
If the best companies are de-emphasizing traditional credentials, why do most employees have degrees and why do they use coding interviews that question you on raw CS questions?

The problem with alternative tracks is that they bottle neck you. They often teach you a technology, they don't teach you an actual skill. Of course, its not that this isn't important, but the fundamentals take you much further because they're not tied to anything specific. Coupled with the knowledge of a technology, it can help you understand what you're doing and what the limitations are. Also, universities are pretty well rounded in terms of learning so they teach you about being a better person instead of being a coder like in a code camp.

Not only that, most popular MOOC sites are run by universities such as MIT, Coursera, and EdX. In fact the most top voted courses on https://hn.academy/ are from universities.

Sure it isn't the same generations ago, but you're highlighting problems that aren't inherent to the idea of the university itself. Costs can be reduced, bureaucracies trimmed, "lifestyle services" is basically the business of the Internet due to rampant self-help, not sure what you mean by "heavier political loads".

"What do I do if it's been ages since I took algebra?" is something you shouldn't address by going to university, you're correct. But if you expect to just learn an entire profession by reading a bunch of Internet articles, doing some exercises/projects, and expect to walk into companies, you're still a far cry, especially from the more demanding law/engineering/MD professions.
I think that was true of older versions, but newer versions will also offload them, either via the user or via the "unused apps" feature.

Ah, perhaps my experiences are only valid for US/North American buyers of US carrier variants. I know that there was a proliferation of repackaged V20 models being sold as new, and they all seemed to come from the same source - they had the same packaging Chinese/international packaging, but the devices included were used/remanufactured and were often incorrectly-specced for their purported carriers, giving away their fraudulent origins.

Like the packaging shown in that Ebay link is incorrect for an AT&T variant. AT&T almost never uses OEM packaging, instead they use some weird gimpy branded boxes of their own. If it didn't come in a box like this, then it was a fraudulently repackaged and was not new:

https://i.imgur.com/n2dFAq2.jpg

Also the printed inserts should have AT&T branding on them, and will include AT&T-specific inserts. The flood of fraudulent LG V20s usually include generic international versions of the printed inserts. Watch for the IMEI label on the box being pasted over with another label, to hide the ID numbers of the device the box originally came with.

Just because its not new doesn't mean it might not work fine, it just means you'll likely never get warranty coverage; or if you do get LG to accept it once they examine in-house for repair you're probably boned.

These problems don't fix themselves automatically.

In the US, it required regulations and the creation of institutions like the FDA. These will remain sufficient to prevent further abuse hinges on the combination of regulatory institutions and the press (who reports grievous abuse when regulators allow grievous abuse, given regulatory capture is a constant threat). China's press and public institutions seem to be getting weaker and weaker. Thus things may or may not get better.
