I think some of the money in question even ended up in DC condos.
Usually the 500k is an interest free loan to the developer so it doesn't cost much unless the developer scams you or goes bust which has happened a fair bit. On the other hand it doesn't really hurt the US much to let a few wealthy investors live there.
Contributing all of that to the 'marketplace of ideas' is ultimately a fallacious remark. It cannot be proven or disproven because it casts a net so wide that it reaches absurdity.

It's placing two points far apart in history and trying to point at one thing as being responsible for all of it.
I've never read that one. I may have been wrong about it happening to somebody in particular, but i think it was something to do with when this happened:

Ultimately, VS Code just works. I have bounced between Emacs and VS Code as a long time (many years) Emacs user. Things break less often, the extensions are nice, the extension model of the editor is much more coherent, and JavaScript is just a language I find easier to work with. It is much easier to find JavaScript that already solves some problem I have if I am extending the editor. The Python support is good enough. The extensions are all fine. The integrated terminal is actually quite decent, whereas Emacs integrated terminals have never actually been very good in my opinion. Lots of little things. I still use emacs for some things, but generally... VS Code is also open source so I am not too worried about the longevity of the editor at this point. Those are some things off the top of my head.
It's well-documented at this point that YouTube's recommendation algorithms enjoy feeding fascist chuddery to people who like things like video games or history, yeah. But I didn't say you shouldn't do it. I do it, because one fewer garbage channel is one more chance for something less garbage. But it certainly seems like it's bailing against the tide.
You are correct. This is for contributors to get paid to add features they want to see in the project. I wish we had more applications under the grant program.

The only platform I've seen so far for this one to compete with YT outside of porn is Patreon, and the videos that get monetized there without also being posted and/or monetized on YT tend to be... less than wholesome in a lot of cases.

Alternatively: one quarter of Uber's annual losses come from those cities :D

The point is that it's a lot faster to process 20 unread threads with 100 messages than 100 unread messages, because they're nicely grouped. E.g. you can skip reading the 30 messages in the thread about "afternoon lunch", without having to look at those messages (as you would with slack if you wanted to find out that the 'annual meeting' announcement happened).

For diverging topics, you can easily edit the topics of the messages that are a diversion to be a new topic. This helps a huge amount when you have new users who haven't learned the convention of creating a new topic when bringing up something unrelated, since anyone can clean it up in a few seconds.
Not rereading the article again, but I am pretty sure posting pictures of genitalia on user pages was not the only thing going on.

A broad carbon tax with offsetting rebates would be a good start. It's a free market solution that requires minimal direct government intervention, and will have effects across all sectors. Start with a level that wouldn't be too great a shock, then ramp up on a pre-planned schedule so businesses and individuals can plan ahead.

BC implemented a carbon tax in 2008:

In 2008, the province implemented North America’s first broad-based carbon tax, proving that it is possible to reduce emissions while growing the economy. Between 2007 and 2015, provincial real GDP grew more than 17%, while net emissions declined by 4.7%.
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/climate-chang...

Obviously a 4.7% decline over a decade isn't enough, but it's better than a 17% or greater increase. Increasing the tax should increase the effect. (Of course, even with rebates making it revenue neutral, it will also cause some pain for those in industries that are heavy producers of greenhouse gasses, but unfortunately some amount of disruption is inevitable with the degree of change that is required.)

Also, allow for negative carbon tax on carbon extraction—there are already systems in place that can extract carbon from the air, and planned systems that should be able to do so for ~$100/tonne currently. This should keep improving, but if we rely on carbon extraction to be profitable without considering the positive externality, it will be needlessly delayed, and we need to get started scaling this up asap.

Finally, even with these changes, it's likely that some form of geoengineering will be required as a stopgap, to prevent temperatures rising to catastrophic levels while we're in the process of bringing CO2 emissions down, and then negative. So we should be doing small-scale testing of the most promising interventions (such as stratospheric aerosol injection) now, to prepare for when they're needed.

> On top of that 12v instrumentation is (obviously) on a different power level than an electric engine, so the batteries will be different.

I wouldn’t count this as “obvious”. The Tesla Roadster, for example, operated its low voltage system using a DC-DC converter that was supplied by the HV system. Tesla decided this was a mistake in the Model S and added a 12V battery.

(Sadly, they seriously flubbed the charging logic for the 12V battery, and the Model S destroyed 12V batteries quickly. It took a couple years before the firmware was fixed to solve that problem.)
So you benchmarked something that will to 95% be constrained by graphics drivers and platform specific optimizations.

Afterwards you chimed in on a thread of people comparing file-system-performance constrained tasks, which hardly intersect with your test profile.

Finally you provided exactly no information of your test setup, tested titles, or actual results in numbers, giving people who would nonetheless entertain you nothing to work with.

Good job.
> If you have enough cash, buy a building, then get a mortgage to get your money back. Now you are building a balance sheet and have cash with a low interest rate.

How does that work? You're now paying interest on cash that you used to have.

Does that imply that you need to rent out space within your building to augment your cashflow?
Emacs has multiple cursors: https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el

I used VSCode for a few years, but never found a way to work with code in semantic units vs. as text. And I like that no matter what language I'm working in, the experience is the same. VSCode plugin editors may or may not (read: wouldn't have) agreed on a set of conventions for working with code independent of the programming language.
I actually prefer that policy. At least they stuck to their guns.

We had an inexperienced junior dev come in with an “amazing offer.” This signaled to management that he must be amazing, so they offered a promotion to team lead to keep him. Half the team quit within a month, then he proceeded to run everything into the ground.

There was a certain amount of shadenfreude watching that play out.
So what if a user uploads a photo they don't own? If I take a group picture with my friends (but I'm not a Facebook user), send it (outside of Facebook controlled means) to one of those individuals pictured, and THEY choose to post it -- what happens, in this new scenario?

The poster doesn't own the rights to the photo, and thus doesn't have the right to implicitly (via some EULA rewrite) grant Facebook the right to use it.

The hate for jQuery has to be from people who never used Prototype and Mootools, and think that React and Vue have existed since the beginning of time. jQuery was very useful back in those days, and pretty much everyone but David Mark agreed.

You've been incredibly lucky. It's great when it happens, but it's certainly not the norm (speaking from experience at a well-known organization that hires a lot of interns).

The "breakthrough" appears to be the separation of mercury "isomers" (that should be isotopes?) Nothing much seems to have come from it.
The original idea behind streams is decidedly more Unix-like than the whole BSD sockets hack. Also it is only partially relevant to networking, conceptually it is generalization of the concept of line discipline, IIRC the original implementation of PTYs in SysV was layered on top of streams. Well, then there was X/Open and another standardization bodies who though that ISO OSI stack is a good thing (you have to be standards body to be capable of believing that) standardized STREAMS (note the capitalization) and build ISO OSI API in terms of that, complete with userspace layer in between that hides all the complexity in order for the thing to be actually usable.
I think EBay has a clause like this in their terms, where you give them a non-exclusive right to your product photos.

Fascinating to see this problem attacked from the top and bottom of the market at the same time.
As someone who owns both an I-PACE and a Model X, I can say that Tesla hasn't quite nailed the "luxury" part yet.
This is the slide deck from Nathan Egge's presentation 'Latest Technical and Business Progress with AV1' at NAB. It looks at progress, problems solved over the past year, development work at Mozilla and Xiph.Org, and the encoder and decoder ecosystem that is springing up around AV1
Collection of evidence is also another likely place to make a mistake. The issue is that a non-pristine sample taken from a public place (like a crime scene) may have multiple DNA profiles represented in it. I'm not highly familiar with the technology but I've read that techniques like PCR that "amplify" the DNA collected from the original sample by synthesizing copies of the DNA can further exacerbate the issue.

> One of the biggest strengths of PCR(e) for DNA typing is the degree to which DNA
can be amplified. Starting with a single DNA molecule, millions or billions of
DNA molecules can be synthesized after 32 cycles of amplification. This level of
sensitivity allows scientists to extract and amplify DNA from minute or degraded
samples and obtain useful DNA profiles. In this context, the sensitive nature of
PCR works in a lab's favor, but it can cause problems if great care is not taken
to avoid contaminating the reaction with exogenous DNA.

https://www.promega.com/~/media/Files/Resources/Profiles%20I...

> Because extremely small samples of DNA can be used as evidence, greater attention to contamination issues is necessary when identifying, collecting, and preserving DNA evidence. DNA evidence can be contaminated when DNA from another source gets mixed with DNA relevant to the case.

"Doing bad things isn't a big deal because of all the other bad things already being done." is not a good justification:

Should an individual feel free to "dox" you with impunity because Google and Facebook have been doing it to you for years anyway?
regardless of the fate of the world after you are gone, strive to create something that will persist beyond the span of human existence, something that will scream out to any other species that WE WERE HERE! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

I agree that it's worth looking at all public structures of font selection as well. The Highway department is in this right now. Highway Gothic is old an difficult to read, yet instead of a public domain free to use sign font, they are battling the use of Clearview which comes with a cost because it has a copyright attached to it.

There are multiple needs here and it seems the only action comes from the "sexy" side of things.
What ended up happening to your company?
Yes, if you come from Unity like me you will find Godot amazingly intuitive and clean compared to Unity. No more weird workflow, no more prefab. Just nodes in a tree and scenes.

With Unity you have many features, a big asset store that allows you to very quickly prototype, the render engine is powerful, but the architecture & organization is just a massive mess. It's really the kind of editor were you can do everything because the dev added all the popular shiny features to make fancy trailers but nothing is planned & well organized, all features are just put one of top of another with no coherence.

Not only the the architecture feels complicated but the editor itself is super heavy : mandatory Email & account, installation size of several GBs, etc.

Godot has less tools and the asset store has almost nothing on it right now. The current render engine is not powerful but it is temporary, everything will get re-written with Vulkan to be on par with other engines.

While it has not as many features as Unity, the foundations of Godot are really solid & clean, I think this will be a huge advantage on the long term
> - uses a pure software interrupt and redirects to your ISR's, so you incur additional overhead for all interrupts in your system

Not true. Like Nucleus OS, NuttX supports two class of interrupts, What nucleus calls "managed" and and "raw" interrupts. The raw interrupts zero-latency, no overhead interrupts: http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:nxinternal:highperfint...

> - ships with a homegrown c stdlib, which has several functional/security bugs (ex: vscanf will overflow if you use format specifiers other than [l]i/u), and neglects to provide gcc attributes for arg checking for the printf family functions

Yes, it uses a custom, POSIX-compliant C library. I have never heard of any such bugs, however. All of the NuttX common code is compiler agnostic.

>- build system issues $(MAKE) calls in every folder you're building, which makes it terrifically slow (especially noticeable on incremental builds)

Re-build time is around 10 seconds or so on a lower-end to mediocre Linux box. A full build cycle (clean, reconfigure, build-from-scratch) is more like 30 seconds.

Windows-based builds are a lot longer.

>- architecture makes it difficult to write custom drivers without building them into the kernel (eg if you want to use the kernel as a module in your project)

Kernel modules are fully supported: http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:nxinternal:kmodules-sh...

The first time I ever had wrist issues, they were triggered by emacs and a crappy keyboard. I switched to a split keyboard, and they went away. Unfortunately it was a split keyboard with membrane keys, so the going away was only temporary.

How We Raised $500K from Japan
Not a biologist, but I'd imagine that's because we currently can answer "is this DNA likely the same as that other DNA" with some degree of reliability, but anything more (except for some very specific diseases) is still not quite here yet. I'd also imagine all this is changing very quickly.

Happy to be corrected by someone with actual knowledge of course.

A 72 year old human interface, user interface and user experience discussion. You can see quite a bit of the recommendations in aircraft produce within a decade after this report. The typical single engine airplane from Piper or Cessna, made use of a common push-pull control for throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, and carb heat, but they all have different shaped knobs on them; and later versions also had different colors. The up/down toggle switch for flaps and gear also have different shapes: flat handle for flaps, and a wheeled handle for gear. And so on.

>With CTBC some platforms can run at 60 trains per hour (30 local, 30 express). That's 8 subway cars every 2 minutes, or approximately 1,000 people per minute.

Unless your trains are going at 10 kph you will have more of a gap than 300 meters if you see a train every 2 minutes.
On that note, what's your take on $ORCL's "autonomous database" that they've been marketing over the last couple of years?

The task is not to find an object in a hash tables. It's to nub an array into a set.

Which is why we're not handwaving away the construction cost or ignoring key comparisons or other such thinking.

Saying, "A hash tables solves this" is the definition of noise, because if you have a perfect hash function for a data set to get the constants you want then you've already got the solution to the problem presented for discussion here. The hash tables itself just becomes cargo culting.
It's very much in favour of consistency as well as simplicity and therefore predictability that newlines should be terminators.

What would you have `cat file1 file2` do? Add newlines in between the files? It simply concatenates. It shouldn't even differentiate on the content. It's just arbitrary binary data to it. I can even use it on mp3s to join them. Why should it be limited to text files with newline separators? Add an option to add newlines in between the files? Why complicate matters? Simplicity is king! Let's do more with less software.
This is a reasonable thing to say, but does it really need its very own domain?

The EB-5 investor pays $100,000 out of pocket, and this goes to the other investors, who get 20% returns! Essentially, the EB-5 investor uses others as a financing option to buy a green card without needing $500k upfront.
