How are you getting a measurement of 51.95mm from a ruler with 1mm ticks? If your ruler is capable of outputting that, and if those digits are actually meaningful (even if they do have error bars) then obviously yes they are definitionally significant digits and you shouldn't round them away.
Isn't this what they acquired Twitch for?
Or maybe the rules are too crazy to keep up with and not worth their time and resources?

It's hard to remember exactly how far ahead the Mac UI was back then. I had a series of Amstrad 8-bits at home and had used Amigas and Arcs extensively at school, but on going to university in 1992, I was determined to buy my first Mac (a IIsi). It was just so much more enjoyable and creative to work with than anything else out there - not just the OS but the care taken over third-party software.

My Linux Distro of choice is a random <$300 Chromebook in developer mode with crouton installed... it always works like a charm for my CLI-centric use cases.

Edit: Whenever Linus talks about the possibility of "the year of the Linux desktop" nowadays, it seems like he always brings up ChromeOS as the most likely contender.
My wife gets Apple products because her work pays for it. She has been to the repair shop multiple times. My last couple of Dells meanwhile feel rock solid like a Mac but have never needed repairs. It's anecdotal on my part, but I think worth looking into more.

Wow! I don't know how to start to thank you for this, I am as happy as a child : D sincerely, honestly, Thank you.

Whooa, I see she was born in 1868, and thought: How? I really had the perception that she was a contemporary of our lifetime...then I saw she died in 1969! 100 years, and I see that her life was more crazy and amazing that I thought.

I thought she was an academic researcher at some uni. She was an opera singer!, among other things, and published an Anarchist treatise at age 22 or so! and a feminist one at age 20 or so. I knew she was smart.

Cannot believe she was there in Wikipedia all the time. My world is demolished, with any google-fu confidence I had left going crumbs and dust...This is shocking. But is always good a reality shock to bring feet back to the humility shoes. Thank you quake guy.

Everytime I re-read "100 years of solitude", Its a completely different book. I can't "see" things I remember "seeing" before, I see things I didn't saw before... It is always in a different language, and Gabriel G. Marquez himself said that a good translation is another book, but this is probably because I get old, and not because of the translation. It is going to be so fun, can't believe I will re-read her books again after 27 or 28 years! it is going to be so much fun.

Now, the tiring thing of it, is that I will have another pretty girl Idol to research every bit of her Life(sigh) Oh no! Zhao, the Brightness and the Light[1], was enough for a lifetime of research and her long-term thinking understanding and learning. I need more lifetimes.

I understand your point about going back to the command line in case of something going wrong. But for me that's a plus. Other systems are, to me, black boxes. If something goes wrong with them, there's less that you can do to fix them.

Now, I have a love-hate relationship with Ubuntu. Things kind of work, but they feel the pathological need of changing most of their tools each other version. The sad thing is that those changes don't provide any improvements, it's just the same but different.
But it is more or less what you said:

> [...] women need to know what works and what doesn't.

I think men and women need to not treat people as sex objects regardless of how they dress. Saying that "women need to know 'what works'" is precisely victim-blaming, because it puts the onus on women, not men, to be responsible for men's behavior.

(Any genders above can be replaced with any other gender classification; it's irrelevant to the point.)
there may be a part of the population who likes to put their mobile phone into their jeans’ front pocket instead of having to carry a daypack for it or these new cases to carry them outside on a string... thats why i like ~4 inch phones
In fact there is no duty to challenge. You can search the USPTO documents up and down and this is not considered during trademark disputes. It generally is a good idea, but whether you as a trademark owner prevent dilution or not is not your responsibility.

So no, McDonalds does not have a duty to do so, only an option.

I can not chime in with an opinion on the functionality of Mozart.js. I can only compare the first-looks of the docs to my experience with VueJS and Angular when I was a complete beginner to frontend development.

The docs of this do not appeal to me. First of, I need some sort of Hello World, to understand the basic structure of an application written with Mozart.js. I have that both in Vue and in Angular. I am a simple being, I manage to do 'Hello World', and I promptly get excited.

Then I would want something that demonstrates handling User-Input (i.e. dynamic data and databinding between JS and HTML). How do I react to a button? Again, I am a simple being. I see things happen, and I promptly clap my hands with joy.

There is only one concrete full example I have found on the introduction page[0], and it doesn't seem to work for me (clicking the button does not produce a report). On top of that, the example is written in CoffeScript, and I have never in my life read code in CoffeeScript.

The rest of the code snippets that are presented in the docs are just fluff to me. I cannot read it, I do not understand the context, and I am not compelled to dive deeper into it. Disclaimer: I am dumb as a stack of hay, reading code is hard for me and I need stuff to be spelled out for me.

TL;DR
I cannot comment on the tool, since the first look provided by the docs does not inspire me to try the tool.

A bit off topic, but here's a chess variant: piece demotion.

The rules are the same, except when any piece moves to one of that player's original pawn squares, and they have less than all of their pawns on the board, they have the option to "demote" that piece to a pawn.

> (I don't think cable TV is broadcasting all their channels either, I don't know how they do it in practice)

Actually they do. Just a whole lot of MPEG-PS, several of which multiplexed into a single frequency channel (sometime called transponder channel, even in the context of cable, although the term comes from satcom), and then on the order of hundreds of frequency channels between 100MHz to 1000MHz (roughly speaking, it depends on the regulatory domain, frequency allocations, and doesn't stretch all the way to the limits of the range).
I'm surprised that the desktop software is AGPL. When I first looked at the website I initially thought it was proprietary...

One question though: What desktop UI API are they using? Is it using the native APIs, or using Electron under the hood?
At the time I got it, I wanted to move to iOS. I couldn't afford the flagship 6S (even with monthly payments) and I heard rumors that they were going to make a 5s with 6S internals. It was still expensive to me at the time (at $500 for 64GB) and I was pissed when a 128GB model came for $400, but I'm very happy with it.

Having used it now for 3 years, I've really enjoyed it. It's small, sure, but it works so well in one hand. It's also incredibly powerful. It's amazing just how many high end apps you can run without issue.

Right now, I'm not sure what I'll do next. I got annoyed with the iPhone X's direction and anticipated that I'd keep it until the battery dies at which point I'd replace battery and keep it until either the updates stop or the atoms give up. Now, I'm not sure. It's starting to show its age (slightly) even with the new battery. As much as I enjoy the form factor, I wanna look into the future. It would be great if they shoved XS specs (including cameras, OLED and 3D touch) into an SE-like body, but that isn't gonna happen.
The most frustrated things I found with nowadays tutorials is misguided prerequisite. If you read prerequisite of tutorials, you might read that famous word - "for absolute beginners" but then they throw 40 lines of program in features introduction.

The main thing we must have to fix is - "truth about prerequisite" Its okay to have different target audience than absolute beginners.

For me, camera upgrade was a significant driver in the upgrade from a 5S to an 8.

I also have a compact and dSLR, but the best camera is the camera you have and that’s often my phone. I have a lot of pics of my kids that were unfortunately taken on an iPhone 4 or similar era touch and are noticeably terrible.
> How DOS-able would LiDAR be? Would I be able to bring traffic downtown LA to a halt in 2040 by bringing my portable LiDAR jammer?

Even that will not be necessary, a splat of dirt on the sensor is enough.

I don't understand their obsession with LADARs. MM wave radars were successfully handling the same task in the industry for a few decades while being much cheaper and reliable.

NIH too strong. I feel calling that here is 100% appropriate and objective.
Yes. Short term renewables supplement existing grid and reduce the average pollution. It is good to reduce the problem and should be used so that on good conditions it will practically take over all production. However it can not replace the polluting producers on its own, who seem to have started to switch operation to mostly when there is not enough renewables to supply the demand (marginal costs like fuel + investment vs the so-called merit order).

Nuclear could operate just like the dirty producers and only operate when the combined wind and solar is too low for the demand, which would further reduce the environmental impact, but the massive investment needed in nuclear makes the economics of it a bit complex and I have not read if the marginal costs of nuclear operations make this a viable tactic. It would however reduce the nuclear pollution down to the gaps where wind and solar is not enough.

That leaves future tech solutions. Smart grids sounds great, through I do not know how big part of it is a political issue or technical problem. Just getting the steel industry to focus operation on energy producing peaks seems to be a major challenge, and they already have the incentive that the energy get cheaper if they do so. Converting hydro to create burst of power rather than continuously is also something very interesting but has also both political and technical issues to solve. Then we have different from of battery ideas, all from pumping water to different heat capturing concepts, through I think that is even further away form being implemented on a large scale.

The article talks about the proposed subsidy, and this is where I think we need to think about the grid as a whole. If the goal is to fill the gap when wind and solar can't supply the demand then the discussion should not be renewable vs nuclear. It is very possible that the specific subsidy is a bad tactic and they would be better served by trying to narrow the gap with even more wind and solar, but then we need data to show that existing dirty producers are preferred over nuclear in order to fill the remaining gap. That to me is a hard sell, but I am open to be convinced :).

Maybe I was not clear enough, I was not defending ISPs. What I meant was that they will bear the extra cost if every subscriber maxes out their bandwidth usage so the cost (and prices therefore) will go up.

What customers pay is an averaged out bandwidth usage from my understanding.

I would normally agree with you, but Apple’s recent issues with iPhone sales suggests to me that this might be changing. As adoption rates continue to ebb, maybe tapping as fully into your market becomes a better strategy than trying to dictate to the market.
Some people choose a phone because they want to use it primarily as a communication device.

One of the joys of programming is that, unlike maths, when discovering an exciting new paradigm there is an opportunity to rationalise all the notation and use a new language.

Contrasting, I struggle to deal with probability and statistics without developing a strong suspicion that the name the objects are called by is completely different from what the name means in common English.

It is nice to see ongoing authoritative commentary that the large majority do not understand what a p-value actually implies. The thread of discourse seems to be that even assuming that all the academics are completely honest (ie, no academic fraud, no hand waving) the number of false results that are awarded statistical significance is much higher than it should be. The standard p value threshold at 5% does not imply that 95% of the statistically significant studies are not by chance. Particularly amongst the subset that make it into the public eye.

This line of thinking is rather dangerous when determining whether to lock someone up for life. Especially in the absence of direct evidence. The math is often tricky, given that we already know some highly unlikely things have in fact occurred (a murder, for one).

Bringing this back to Netflix, I imagine they would be concerned about a 0 activity customer leaving at any given time. Probably hard to forecast future revenue for them too.

“How Congress Works” – Aaron Swartz (2011)
This code, which is clearly undefined behavior (because of dangling pointer), outputs the number 2, which is very worrisome.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int* foo() {
int y = 2;
return &y;
}
int main() {
int* x = foo();
cout << *x << endl;
return 0;
}

I would recommend not using this for educational purposes yet; it could mislead students about pointer usage.
Yup, though due to Australian internet I don't use restic's support for non-local backends (otherwise getting a snapshot list or doing a purge+clean is painfully slow) -- I have a sync job that runs every day that uses rclone to sync the restic backup store.
This looks cool, I like the collaborative planning stuff, but all I really want is a reddit-like forum where you need a cryptographic key to post. Make it so that you need a real physical ID to get one, like maybe you need to go see a Justice of the Peace to get one. Maybe each person could vouch for 2 others (who cannot themselves vouch for anyone, until they are certified.) Anonymous posts could still be possible, but you still require that key, so you're basically masking your identity. I would also suggest limiting posts to 10/day or similar so loud individuals cant simply drown out everyone else.

Merely knowing that everyone else on the platform is a real person from the same state/country as you would be a massive improvement in the calibre of online debate. No more claims of bots or troll farms! Polls taken on such a site would be a pretty close reflection to what a community actually thinks. Allow people to engage directly with their representatives (their profiles are highlighted), in a sub-reddit/forum you KNOW can only be debated by people who really live there (or perhaps filtered by, if you still want to allow external participants.

Mildly interesting article, though sadly at no point it actually expands on the title. There's nothing about how or why "students learn from the people they love".

Slightly related: students learn a lot because of having a crush on someone. I've learned a bunch of things this way too. It's not something that can be structurally exploited, though.
The crypto in Borg is bad. Even has its own page in the docs about how bad it really is. The tl;dr is "there is one AES key per repository and we use this with AES-CTR and trust the remote server to not fiddle with the counter".

Last time I checked there was still no work being done on improving performance. Multithreading has been on the agenda for years and will probably never come, much like improved crypto.
Basically everyone who works for Facebook. Think of the time it takes away from society and what that time is worth. Compare that with the pittance in advertising income they earn off it. That's more inefficient than a thief who steals jewellery and sells it for a tenth of its value. I don't think the small benefits from Facebook come close to the tremendous harm it does to society.

I closed my Facebook account years ago and have never missed it. I'm a lot richer (literally and figuratively) for not having wasted a thousand more hours on it.
