> And unlike with vectors, I don’t know that I’ve ever come across code that retained map iterators…

I've done this once. The thing I was trying to do was have multiple threads write to a std::unordered_map in such a way that each thread would write to its allocated "bucket" and nothing else (roughly, each thread would "own" map[thread_id] as a somewhat convoluted "thread local storage" which would then be collected and operated on at some point in the future from the "master" thread). It turns out that to the only way to actually do this in a standards-compliant way is to grab an iterator pointing to map.find(thread_id) prior to starting and use for subsequent modifications of the value, since using the subscript operator is apparently not guaranteed to be thread safe for associative containers.
Whataboutism. And judging by their other comments Facebook troll (or PR contractor).
A few early marketing thoughts
On iOS, you can do block everyone but favorites, or just all, with an option of allowing repeat callers through (they call X amount of times in a 5 minute duration).

Unfortunately this also disables all other app notifications which is less than desirable.
I've tried to checklist my life for years after reading The Checklist Manifesto. I later learned that the best checklists are not in the form of checklists.

Development checklists are often in the form of templates. E.g. https://html5boilerplate.com/

Life checklists are in the form of routines and rituals. For example, brush teeth, shower, put on clothes, comb hair every morning. These should actually be sorted out and optimized. I have a basket for "smart casual" clothes, a basket for simply "casual" clothes, a place to dump dirty clothes, and things like toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo go into the exact same location every day. Instead of boxes you tick off, you optimize a route. I'd recommend doing one for all the major things in life - shopping for food, locking up the office, laundry, taking care of the cats, exercise, and so on. If you tend to forget something, label things. Like sometimes the comb is not enough reminder to comb my hair, so I put capital letter "COMB" at eye level.

I teach classes too. I used to keep a checklist of what to teach, but it's easier to have PowerPoint slides instead. This is obvious to most people, but took me months to figure out.

For my checklist apps I keep only two lists: Things to do ASAP ("today") and things to do later/backlog. This is the technique Marc Andreessen recommends.
My followup was to point out the unreasonableness of your definition.

You seem to have created a law which doesn't exist "breaking into a country" and a punishment which doesn't exist, on the assumption that your definition must be the right one.

If your view is right, it should be easy to disprove me - it was not hard for me to find the information which showed that your broad definition was wrong. Why hand-wave instead?

You bring up "fully integrated into society" as if that were of fundamental importance. Are the Amish fully integrated into society?

If your definition is only "fastidiously obey the law" then for a long time the Amish were not fully integrated, eg, continuing to speak German at places in violation of laws passed as a result of WWI.

The laws changed, making the Amish once again integrated under that definition.

If an application is handling SIGHUP then it presumably intends to continue running. If it used systemd-run instead, it could still get into a bad state at any point thereafter and you have the same problem. Even using a watchdog couldn't fix every buggy application, because there are ways for an application to crash or misbehave yet continue to send the watchdog notification. We still haven't solved the halting problem.

Meanwhile if the process isn't handling SIGHUP then there is little chance of undefined behavior in the default handler, which merely terminates the process immediately.
I thought Reddit was finding cures for cancer on a periodic basis, is it going to be Hacker News after all?
To be coldly rational, you want to pick from the group that is the most discriminated against for entry into medical school. Right now in the USA, that would be Asian males.

An exception is if you may need the doctor to insert a hand into your body. In this case, note that Asian female doctors generally have the smallest hands.

An exception is if you are very heavy and might require feats of strength for your care. In this case, young non-Asian males are most likely to have the needed strength.
I've also wondered about it (though I know that bring a server is still by no means an easy task). I think Freakonomics had an episode on topping and reported (advertised?) some restaurants that split the tip between servers and cooks, or just don't let the customer tip but pay their employees more, upfront.

I think "wouldn't make any money" isn't true. They could keep offering the current product but offer one for people who wanted to pay. Like I said, I think this would be less lucrative than their current platform, but it would demonstrate that they have an idea to "disrupt" their own business model with something that resembles morals or actual innovation.

The problem here is that Facebook squandered any possibly remaining trust in the company with their constant shenanigans.

My assumption nowadays is that when Facebook does anything it's hostile towards their users and only good towards their bottom line

A further assumption of mine is that whenever a Facebook spokes drone opens her or his mout they lie.

And whenever you think this foul and disgusting pustule of a company has reached the height of depravity they come up with an even worse surprise to prove you wrong and that they can behave in an even worse manner.

So Facebook claiming that they won't track me in exchange for money to me would be uttely untrustworthy.
The std::deque is also another useful 'hybrid' container that performs close to std::vector or better in some cases when you need to 'grow' the container without reallocating memory so many times. But the only good cache friendly implementation seems to be in clang libc++ (memory is allocated in 4KiB blocks). MSVC's deque implementation is horrible (8 byte blocks) and GCC's is also not that great (512 byte blocks).
My point is not about how an individual player gets their enjoyment from the game. Some players would want to beat every other to the death, even in the real world.

My point is individual player tends to complain how the game sucks from his standpoint without second-thought about the consequences to others, to the system, or even to themselves in the long run. I am more concerned about the non-leaner responses from changing the incentive structure. For instance, what would it turn out if, let's say, a gaming event where 90% of your income (EXP, game money, skill points, etc.) would be redistributed to others in the period of that event? Would anyone get excited about it? or people would say, "we gonna work on other things and wait for the freeriding," which is the most rational, economical decision for personal resource management. I would expect that every player of the game would spend more time with their family and we see drastically decreased MAU of the game as a result.

For electronics there are a lot of small things which should be considered in each design. The must-haves are covered by standards and regulation, but there are many many other considerations which makes life easier or catches errors: checklists are an obvious choice.

Kent Beck Shows on video how TCR looks like
The sender can confirm that a fax has been received correctly on the other end. It will even print out a confirmation page with "message completely received". Can't do the same with emails, so there's no pretending you never received it because it was caught in some filter somewhere outside of your control.

Overnighting is similar in that the carrier should provide confirmation that a package has been successfully delivered.
Agile Project Forecasting – The Monte Carlo Method

I’m working on it beside my job and three children - towards a dream I had 3 years ago.

I am aware that "Unsplash for music" is a very high goal and I am far not a good coder. Nevertheless, I believe in being able to get closer to this aim TOGETHER.

That's why I'm looking intensivly for qualified feedback like:
- what are main issues to solve?
- what are basic features to provide?
- is „staying ad-free“ a must?
- do you think a kickstarter crowdfunding campaign would be appropriated?
Etc.

Warm regards and a big Thank You from Germany.

It should make you uncomfortable that safe drivers subsidize dangerous drivers.
The danger is judging informed consent by what we would find acceptable. It's conceivable that one could understand the risks yet not appreciate the probability involved, or have a value system skewed towards present gratification. The point is that the concept of informed consent in cases like this don't really add much information.

Facebook will shut down its controversial market research app for iOS
I believe may be confusing investor-owned utilities like PG&E with government-owned public utilities. PG&E does not receive taxpayer money. They are a private company such that their entire revenue stream is dictated by a government commission [1]. The commision-fixed pricing benefits the consumer because we pay less than what electricity is "actually worth". The drawback is that PG&E cannot afford to mitigate risks such as forest fires. Presumably, if the "true price" of electricity included the costs required to prevent forest fires, it would be significantly higher.

> The source code doesn’t do anything related with GitHub pages though.

I'm not sure what your point is here exactly. Although the source code makes no mention of GitHub Pages, and you're more than welcome to use this for anything you'd like, it was specifically built to mimic the behaviour of GitHub Pages w.r.t. the custom 404 and the dropped .html extension.

> You may want to change the default port from :80 to :8080 so people don’t have to set “-port” every time.

Good point. I personally use :80 a lot but I realise :8080 is pretty standard so will use that.

> But your code says otherwise [1] since there is no 404.html file in the repository.

The 404.html file is not part of this repository, it's part of the directory you are serving. See https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-custom-404-page-...

Edit: In case it's not clear, this is designed for testing your GitHub Page site locally, before pushing. I'll update the Readme a bit to make this clearer.
The Thai Navy SEALs worked with incredible bravery and determination, but they simply weren't equipped to conduct a rescue of this nature. I recall seeing some of the first news footage from the scene, seeing the equipment being used by the Thai divers and thinking "oh shit, these guys are screwed". It was immediately apparent that they were open-water divers operating far beyond the limits of their training. They didn't have sidemount rigs, they didn't have CCRs, they didn't even have proper reels and lights. Frankly, it's a miracle that only one person died.

Stanton and Volanthen actually had to rescue four members of the Thai rescue team, who had fallen asleep in an intermediate chamber and become cut off by flooding. There was no lack of willing on the part of the Thai rescuers, but they simply didn't have the level of expertise necessary to coordinate a rescue of this level of complexity and technical difficulty.

For regular TV usage, it's probably fine, but I would not recommend buying one to use as a PC monitor. I did that about a year ago, and I really regret it.

Burn in patterns are everywhere, and especially visible in red channels, so the overall image has a greenish hue. Things like taskbars, tiling window borders, browser titlebars, game HUDs (HP bars especially since those are often bright red), have all left their permanent mark on the display, and have become super distracting.

I'll probably get another OLED eventually to replace this one (I'd try to sell the current one but kind of doubt anyone would pay decent money for it given the state it's in), but will probably use it exclusively for movie watching and maybe occasional gaming sessions. I've been completely spoiled by the movie watching experience of the infinite contrast ratio in a dark room. Nothing else is even comparable. But I'll have to babysit the next one much more carefully to make sure it doesn't suffer the same fate as the one I have.
Thank you for this link! Definitely gonna add this to my coffee table!
I used SVHS for audio as well (heck, I still use one for time-shifting TV). The missing piece was portability, though.

For longer audio programs, I'd generally want to take them in the car or to work. I settled on a pro Sony dual-deck cassette drive that could do serial recording spanning two tapes. Using pro-quality 110-minute tapes provided nearly 4 hours of continuous recording.
I just want to block all calls, period.
Making Gmail on mobile better for you
Of course it sounds too good to be true, however I read the linked original article, which provides much more detail and - everything they say sounds plausible and coherent and most important is novel, they admit several years away, let’s hope they have discovered a genuine breakthrough.
Medicine is very short on discoveries that actually make much difference to human health ie hygiene, vaccines, anti-biotics, anti-virals(more limited) - there has not been one for quite a long time, so the optimist in me says, maybe this is another - stem cell and telomerase based therapies also seem to me to be on the cusp of providing real benefits in dealing with the worst disease of all - aging.
I don't think that's how it works; "best" is sooo hard to define. Humans are very diverse, and have different needs/preferences. Also what is best today may not be best tomorrow (not because of the system itself, but because of changes in the environment), so it pays off to have "sub-par" systems evolve in parallel with different slightly different goals or implementations.

I don't see "open-source" as being antithetical to competition, at all. In fact, e.g. Databricks only exists because of Spark. There is competition in the open-source world too, and IMO that's a good thing.
I think the search terms were being sent by unity and not Ubuntu itself, I haven't used Ubuntu for years(I find it a bit bloated) but I remember reading that Unity was discontinued so it should not be a problem with another desktop environment.

for me personally, I use Manjaro at home and I'm very happy with it, although I have an old thinkpad so that might be why I haven't faced any driver or other kinds of problems.

for work I'm currently using a mac since that is the only hardware the company provide, but I always found Opensuse Leap to be the best, very stable and with a relatively recent packages.
> Recall when people used to think that AOL keyword search was the entirety of the internet?

I'm not the OP but I personally don't remember any of that because I'm not an American (like a major part of populace on the Internet) and I've never used AOL. And maybe AOL failed in America exactly because it did the things you mention they were doing, i.e. "controlling and blacklisting" a large part of the Internet.

There were some attempts to reprogram virus to cure cancer but ethical concerns have stopped progress in this path.

Human made viruses can have significantly more impact than planned. If this cure works, I believe that people should be kept in quarentine until clear of the virus.
It’s easy to be bad and hard to be good. There’s PMs I know that casually joke about how about most of their week is time spent dicking around on the internet while having a few meetings and watching some tasks get done. They are more like project secretaries where they DGAF about being involved. Then there are PMs that go the extra mile to keep stakeholders involved, triage bugs and tasks, and willfully volunteer to fill in as needed. They are the ones that can actually add substantial value to a project.
Go is designed for armies of simple minded developers, Java 1.0 revisited.

“The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.”

for everyone that says or implies that “google is out to get us”:

> What sense of "obligation" are you referring to?

The sense of “sense of obligation” in play when one says “I feel the need to tip”, as I would have thought was obvious by the quoted bit I responded to.

> If it is obligatory then it definitely should be outlawed

It is not actually obligatory (except where it is advertised as required, in which case there is no false advertising), even if some people have a sense of obligation which demands tipping.

I have moved to the US not that recently.

The tipping system still baffles me (and I never know when I am supposed to tip or not .. )

From what I gathered, it comes from the prohibition as a way to supplement hotels and restaurants personnel wages (since they were making less in that context).

Why it persisted to nowadays and has been extended to many service works baffles me to no end.

Taxes are also added at checkout when you buy e.g. groceries, so it seems pretty cultural to have a very opaque 'what you pay' system.
