No, I think it's a reasonable statement. It's like brutalist architecture. It functions well as a building (It encloses a space, allows entry and exit, and the roof doesn't leak), but it's still a space that's inhuman. Cold. It would be a fine space for robots, but it's too sterile for humans to feel at home.

So the idea isn't inherently nonsense. (Any particular claims as to the right ways to apply it to software, on the other hand...)
I do a bit of Clojure and it feels like manipulating an AST rather than text, especially with structural editing (because code is data). It applies to any Lisp I suppose
Let’s hope that’s tested in court.

Great idea! The mesh it iterates over is inherently 2D (the surface intersection test just performs a bilinear interpolation between the grid points to compare to the ray height) so Bresenham's algorithm would work here. I'll implement it and see if it offers any significant speed improvements.
The win would be a scientific publication that takes science seriously.

You can't just go around making assertions of truth and then deny any attempt to discuss their merits by claiming that it's just a belief or an opinion whose truth value is irrelevant. That's basically how we ended up in this godawful post-truth world we now live in, and there certainly shouldn't be any room for it in a scientific publication.
Those are companies that had enormous PR disasters and had short-term stock losses. It didn't even have anything to do with boycotts.
Interesting, I suspecting their 'restart' of 'authentication infrastructure' may be a rolling restart and perhaps they have not got to Germany yet, perhaps by using Google's DNS different 'authentication infrastructure' is being provided?
Probably from real life.
gnu radio is cool

but these are different problems:

- macros for diagrams, n-bit-adder for any n
- "boxing up" diagrams, or some sort of nesting of diagrams
- management of state

there are separated concepts in our tool, macros are a 'meta language', in principle one can write functions in the host language that generate diagrams and then proof that those diagrams are well behaved in some way. there is theory on how to do this for diagrams, but we have not implemented any of this yet

boxing up is a natural operation of the system; we get that for free sort of

state is handled by folding functions over the history, so you get a nice and clean way of dealing with state

but you are right, this ability is very important; it is a lot harder to do tho, but it's possible now I think
piracy is only an issue if it effects people paying for your product; if they were never going to pay anyway, why not give it away for free? keeping a digital product locked away out of spite is just... spiteful

especially when it comes to poor economies! the cost of a windows/office license is a good portion of (if not an entire) yearly salary in some countries! removing the tools that help them to compete with more affluent economies is pretty poor form
As a designer, I have no problem calling myself UX designer. Sure, “users”, whatever. We never lose sight of the fact that user is a human being and we are designing for other sensitive, diverse people.

User is an established term for a person in software, just like customer is a term for a person in commerce, or patient in hospitals. These are all humans and nobody is losing sight of that. No need to rebel against that just to express certain moral high ground.
Based on playing with my little adafruit cell chip I have, I can talk to it pretty simply by sending it standard modem commands. I don't know how this exactly lines up with a more modern phone but it's pretty cool. You could theoretically talk to it with something like this too

Well, yeah, taking money from Google for positioning does tend to have pretty high margins...
Postgres has session-bound resources, and in most cases no way to disable those from being deleted when exiting a session. For example in postgres you can't persist a prepared statement, but you can of course persist data within a table. Any function running will be killed when you exit (or at least not complete since the transaction is cancelled).

IMO when a user has logged out and has not had the permissions/foresight to setup a task in the system to run without a session it should be killed.

I get that this has not been the default behavior in linux/UNIX, but to me it seems like the sensible one.

And that's before we ever argue about the possibility to turn it off.
>But it does not remove the ability of the court to overrule the clause itself. So someone could still sue Instacart knowing that it will be thrown out if the court decides to enforce the clause.

Which they will. There's been a few recent cases that have made mandatory arbitration clauses more-or-less bulletproof.
Yes, and that will include static sites hosted on GitHub Pages.

Avoiding Microsoft is often a problem when exchange documents with someone and the files don't work well with whatever not-Office you choose (Apple Page/Numbers/Keynote, LibreOffice, etc.).

I wonder if they can even attempt to block receiving or placing phone calls from/to a number with Skype on the other end.
It's important to keep in mind that a low unemployment rate does not say anything about the overall quality of jobs in the market.

So while it's a 'strong market' in the sense that 'unemployment is low', it could also be examined from another angle. Which is the rise of the gig economy giving people a lot of opportunities for work, but work that comes at a cost of being heavily exploited like with Instacart. Nor does it say anything about whether or not people are holding full time vs part time jobs or the stagnant wage issues.
For a couple years, I went the self study route, using online resources coupled with text books. Eventually though, I ended up taking a few distant learning courses and found the accountability (i.e. deadlines, homework assignments, exams) helpful, keeping motivated. And now, I'm taking the online CS master's program from Georgia Tech, the OMSCS program. I'm actually only in my first semester and loving it!

Still, I appreciate and love all the online material (that's free!) but I tend to operate better when I can 1) Collaborate with other students (and professors) 2) Have deadlines
Washington has no state income tax, which is why their attempts to fund basically any program always seem so out there. If they just taxed like normal states did, they wouldn't look either goofy or regressive every time they tried to raise money.

>I don't think I'd call the transputer "hardware multitasking"

"A Transputer had a number of simple operating system functions built into the hardware. These included hardware multitasking with foreground and background priority levels, hardware timers, and hardware time-slicing of background tasks."

The Hardware and Software Architecture of the Transputer -- https://archive.org/details/Xputer

There are special instruction to start and end a process, and the fact that it was a stack machine means context switches were extremely fast, almost no registers to save/restore.

> so much as "integrated communications network."

It had both, and both were integrated. IIRC, the instructions to send/receive on the links were integrated with the multitasking hardware.

"The first 16 'secondary' zero-operand instructions (using the OPR primary instruction) were:

Mnemonic Description
REV Reverse – swap two top items of register stack
LB Load byte
BSUB Byte subscript
ENDP End process
DIFF Difference
ADD Add
GCALL General Call – swap top of stack and instruction pointer
IN Input – receive message
PROD Product
GT Greater Than – the only comparison instruction
WSUB Word subscript
OUT Output – send message
SUB Subtract
STARTP Start process
OUTBYTE Output byte – send one-byte message
OUTWORD Output word – send one-word message"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transputer

Also, you could designate memory locations as local communications channels, and the same instructions would work. So the same binary could run locally or distributed.
I have what may be a completely stupid question, but the imagination in me just posited it to me, so I thought I'd ask:

Can you translate raytracnig to DB relations?

You have a raytracing engine, and many proven approaches to be able to determine what is visible from any given point.

What if the "point" was, in fact, "the query" and from that point - you apply the idea of raytracing to see what pieces of information are the relevant fields in a space of a DB that pulls in all those fields - and the shader translates to the "lens" or "answer" you want to have from that points perspective?

Is this where a GPU would help? Why? Why not?
What Are Symbolic and Imperative APIs in TensorFlow 2.0?
also, ideally the precision in the statebox kernel is hidden from the user.. nobody needs to really know about profunctors or monoidal categories, unless you want to work on the language tooling itself.

anyway, interesting discussion
It is the most enjoyable prgramming book I’ve read in a decade.

Figure out where the toxic shitstorms are coming from and cut those items out of your life.

In my case, the main FB news stream and TV news were the primary antagonizers. I stopped watching TV news and get my news from HN and Google News (even that's a struggle to hide the useless crap). For FB, there are several special-interest-groups about things I'm interested in (Fusion 360, woodworking, blacksmithing, etc) that are not prone to off-topic or sensational chatter (thank you, moderators!) and I installed 'News Feed Eradicator for Facebook'[0] which has cut way back on the unpleasantness and even turned FB into a positive experience.

In the ancient history of gratuity, tips were originally given _before_ any service was received so that you can get priority service. It's absurd that tips now feel mandatory because of social pressures particularly in the US.

Do companies physically warehouse cash? No, they deposit it in the banking system, or buy treasuries with it, right? It's being invested in the world economy, just not directly.
The consumer collective-action economic effects of that boycott changed nothing. What did change things was the government action it triggered:

> Pressure increased across the country. The related civil suit was heard in federal district court and, on June 4, 1956, the court ruled in Browder v. Gayle (1956) that Alabama's racial segregation laws for buses were unconstitutional. As the state appealed the decision, the boycott continued. The case moved on to the United States Supreme Court. On November 13, 1956, the Supreme Court upheld the district court's ruling, ruling that segregation on public buses and transportation was against the law.
I do not understand if you have actual practical experience with medium-complexity projects with visual languages.

Also, wM have been around for more then 10 years now. I am not using it anymore but I have colleagues who do. The "low hanging fruit" stays unpicked, so maybe it is not so easy to provide the things I listed?
Couple of interesting tidbits:

* Calling out challenges with China's App Store on app game approval.

* Appreciation of dollar on international markets.

* Subsidized iPhones are making people less incentivized on purchasing a new phone.
I highly doubt this phone is going to win the thinness wars anyway, so the space savings aren't going to be as relevant. It would be much smarter to differentiate themselves on features such as replaceable batteries, which the mainstream market has ignored precisely because they want to chase thinness.

The real question is, how many users want replaceable batteries, and is there enough overlap between that group and the audience for an OSS phone. I would imagine the overlap is significant, but without market research on the subject I don't know if I'm right.
That's not what populism is. Populism is when an elite claims to speak and act on behalf of the people without real input from them.
I've said a lot about the struggle with diffing visual code but I think one the other beefs I have with visual coding is ultimately the same reason I hate whiteboard coding:

If you try to build code top-down, even happy path first, or iteratively (over a long enough time horizon, all code is developed iteratively), the whiteboard is completely unforgiving about squeezing more code into the middle of a block of existing code. This is basically a non-issue within a text editor.

How do you avoid invalidating your 2d layout of visual code while adding new conditional behaviors to the middle of an inner block of code?

And on a related topic, any tool that fights 'extract method' is not for me. Refactoring is painful enough as it is without adding speed bumps along the way.

I think some of these problems are solved within game AI path finding heuristics, but I know of only a couple of visualization tools that had an automatic layout algorithm that wasn't worse than nothing (dbviz as I recall had a fairly decent heuristic for 'flattening' a graph so that very few lines crossed).
It doesn’t say that horse racing is understudied. It is saying that harness racing is understudied.
Normal horse racing is very different to harness racing.

Also. The simulated betting on on the favourite on those 26000 races was with one dollar per race. If the favourite win, the balance increases with 1$*the odds. If the favourite does not win, the balance decreases with 1$. Nothing strange about it, and as I tried to explained, no compounding involved. Flat betting. 1 $ per race.
Anyway. It was simulated on historic data and also a side note as it didn’t really have anything to do with the project itself.
Appreciate the comment.
Why not use libreoffice?
The Kubernetes Kustomize KEP Kerfuffle
OP mentions the tip 22c and then the rest in cash to show instacart they shouldn't be doing this. I think it's a fair approach to see if they can be persuaded to make the right call.
Most phones/tablets are a little different of a story, because the chip is integrated with the phone. The Librem 5, using a separate removable module for LTE, is going to be a bit more like a connected laptop. Verizon doesn't certify laptops for their network, they certify the cards/modules that you put in a laptop.

If you use an approved module, there should be no issue: https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/design-and-build...
Obligatory reference to Homer's car from The Simpsons.

This is why people think big companies like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, etc. are arrogant when they say they're making products we didn't know we needed until we got them. It's not arrogance; it's that their market research is infinitely superior to a simple poll.

With a poll, we're only constrained by our imagination. Real life has more constraints. The thing the big companies do: balance their research with real life.
Always tip in cash. Tips should be a purely private thing, nobody but the tipper and the tipped should know about the tip.

> Only "good people" will do so, and that caring will put them at a competitive disadvantage compared to people who simply don't care.

That's always the case. If you recycle, you are at a competitive disadvantaged compared to people who don't care. If you are veggie as well. Or if you help your kids to do their homework.

Do you think it's unreasonable to promote recycling ?

It's not a binary choice, it's a spectrum anyway.

> No, regulation has the possibility of leveling the playing field and making everyone behave in a certain way, irrespective of how good or bad they are.

Regulations are very slow, subject to intense lobbying and conflicts of interest, and assume people in charge are benevolent and compentent.

Regulations are not the base of the society. They come, they go. They change according to the time, the context, the place... People are what's matter.

Again, I understand how hard this is. I also notice that a lot of people don't want to hear about it, because of the resonsibility it involves. But power to the people cannot comes without responsability to the people.

And responsability only truely work if it's chosen, not enforced.
I suppose they didn't want to actively work on such features for something that's going to be deprecated. Since WebRender is their way forward, they can as well implement video acceleration together with it.

You would correct if this truly was a free market, but the viability of a free market is dependent on perfect competition where there are identical competing sellers readily available for consumers to "move on" to.

No such market with perfect competition exists, which leads to market externalities and the need for outside forces to get involved to correct (such as regulation).
This really isn't that different than tipping at your favorite bar. Employers artificially pay service workers less than they should with the assumption that the customer will make up the rest. The real answer is to supporting the broken tipping model. Pay people an honest wage and expect them to do their job without expecting a consumer to pay a bribe to get good service.
The Next Financial Crisis Could Be Caused by Climate Change
Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it. I'm assuming you're recording at least 2 minutes worth of audio in each of these tests?

Although in your case it really sounds like the only thing you did was set 44100 and are using Ubuntu instead of Debian.

I mainly went for unstable to get more up to date packages, and didn't want to mess around with adding a billion PPAs with Ubuntu or compile from source for everything, but maybe I will give Ubuntu a shot the next time around.

I did install apt-listbugs and yeah it was scary. I didn't notice anything specifically audio related but seeing multiple critical / severe bugs like "may cause machine to lock" isn't what you want to see heh.

By the way, how sturdy is your Scarlett's USB connection in the back? Do you hear distortion and cracks if you touch it with headphones on? You don't need to wiggle it hard. Just basically touching it with the lightest amount of force possible within reason.

We integrated one third party provider into our AWS Cognito as a test - Google. The idea was to allow many and myriad third party providers to integrate with it, and we wouldn't have to bother to do any of the integration: just configure the Cognito and the other sides, and our app logic does not have to care (but can get that info from the JWT payload if it cares).
I learned SO much about windows during the 2 weeks when my mouse was broken and I was too cheap to replace it. Turns out you can do pretty much anything without the mouse, even without turning on handicapped assistive mode!

And there was a time when a snotty admin convinced me that he had the authority to require me to do development in vim. He did not, and damn that learning curve was steep- but I picked up skills that still serve me well a couple decades later.

Oh, and another one - we had a process for cranking out custom reports, where if you could express the entire thing they were asking for in SQL, then you were done. But if any part of required programming logic, you had to create a controller, and a template file, and register them, and do a full product release... it was a big hassle. And man did I ever learn how to make SQL jump through hoops at that job.

So, a corollary to your "The longest way is the shortest way" is my life lesson - Constraints make you better.
Are you sure those aren't the upcoming changes? There's another older screenshot further down that has more ambiguous wording.

Yes, and Canada.

Expected tip amounts have also been going up, I assume now because companies/restaurants want to hide a price rise behind it.
In the mid-1990s, I corresponded briefly with Cliff, and he seemed amicable enough; The one thing I recall from our emails is that he was adamant that he didn't persecute 'hackers', apparently pursuing a semantic split between 'hacker' and 'cracker'.

I talked a lot with Hans Hubner as well afterward when he worked at Art+COM, a good bit more than Cliff. I found Hans to be extremely generous, the sort of guy who was just flattered that you sought him out and would literally create an account on his Unix and VMS hosts if you just asked, despite the expensive metered rate he was paying for TCP/IP access at the time. He didn't talk much about the whole Cuckoo's Egg saga though.

Very nice people on both sides; Makes you wonder how much of it was circumstance.
We did not replace Okta with anything whatsoever.
Many, many decades ago when I worked in a restaurant, the rule was tipped employees needed to be paid at least 50% of the standard minimum wage. At the end of the day, if the employee didn't clear the minimum wage rate with the total of their wage + tips, the employer was required to fork over the additional amount to equal the minimum wage.

However, the absolute bare minimum the employer was allowed to pay was 50% of minimum wage. Not sure if this was just state-specific or if it changed.
The corn syrup example doesn't really work here. People make decisions with their money, and those decisions are primarily based on self interest. Not becoming diabetic is very much in folks' self-interest. That underlies people not wanting foods with corn syrup. It has nothing to do with concerns about wasteful corn subsidies or deceptive food practices.
Ouch. But unions are not the answer.
No Instacart for me. This is not OK at all.

Others have said why. I will spend some time to make others aware.

I really hate this sort of thing. Viscerally.
