That is the myth, in practice ISO C specifies an abstract machine and libc is impossible to be written 100% in ISO C, some functions require either external Assembly or language extensions for their implementation.
LoRa, sorry
Okay, I see how that sort of check could be useful. I don't think it's impossible to do without dependant types in principle, but Rust isn't doing it AFAIK, and I see your point.
Amazing how long gawk has been around, and still with the same maintainers.

My port of gawk to MacOS in 1990/91 was my first active involvement in open source. I was rather crushed when told that my patches would not get accepted, because RMS at the time had a Fatwa against accepting MacOS code in GNU projects, and, though the gawk maintainers were quite civil about it, it was clear that they would not go against RMS' wishes.

Shortly afterward I discovered perl, so I never did all that much awk, and when a few years ago, I decided a 5 line awk script was the most elegant way to solve a configuration problem, my coworkers vetoed the plan.
Note that this is good not only for Apple, but the agreement also stops Qualcomm litigation against Apple's contract manufacturers (Foxconn, Pegatron, Wistron, and Compal). This helps Apple immensely by steadying their supply chain.
Fact Checking Tesla's “Impact Report”
I feel distinctly dumber having read this.
The students are paying a lot of money, but the professors are getting screwed. If we see the university as a 2-sided marketplace, then you'd think that as the cost of doing business goes up, the number of merchants willing to keep doing business would go down. This is not the case. And that is why starting a university is such a good business.

We need to advance all parameters of our technology stack.. changes are incremental and take time, it'll be many years before 5G is widely available.

5G as I've understood it also more about latency.
Oh, are you suggesting that they're just straight up lying? They would need to not just trick me into thinking I'm seeing HDR (which is probably doable), but also trick my TV into thinking it's playing Dolby Vision, and also actually use significantly more bandwidth than a 720p stream would (I've checked at my router).

I'm sure all those things are possible, but it's also pretty likely that they're actually producing and distributing content in 4K and Dolby Vision.
A second referendum with no Leave option would I suspect be political suicide for whoever organized it.

Instead, the referendum should have a Leave option - a specific Leave option. Not an amorphous, everyone-can-think-it's-whatever-they-want option, but a concrete, well-defined, specific option. That option would almost certainly lose, since all the Remain people would vote against it, and so would many of the people who want some other flavor of Leave.

The problem is that there are several different flavors of Leave: There's hard Brexit, and the customs union, and May's deal, and maybe one or two others. None of them has a majority, either in Parliament or among the voters. But I'm not sure that Remain has a majority, either (it didn't in the referendum, and at least in Parliament, there's a feeling that remaining in the end will be regarded as a betrayal of the referendum).

Then there's the problem that May seems to feel that the most urgent task at the moment is not cleaning up this mess, but rather keeping Corbyn out of the PM position.

All this makes it almost impossible to find a way forward. However, I would say that May's deal is dead, no matter how many times she keeps trying to bring it up for a vote in Parliament. And Parliament seems to be indicating that it will take the reins out of May's hands rather than permitting her to run them (willingly or not) into a hard Brexit. The EU seems to be against the idea of perpetual delay (though it remains to be seen if they will blink when push comes to shove). That leaves revoking Article 50 or a customs union as the only options available (unless the EU blinks and keeps blinking, or unless Parliament is willing to let May do a hard Brexit).

Or so it seems to me. In this mess of a situation, who knows whether I'm right...

The article seems to assume that it is, in fact, possible to completely and correctly specify a system, and not only that, do so ahead of development.

This is a pipe dream in all but a minuscule slice of software projects.

GWT/cucumber is as decent a tool as any for creating automated tests of system actions (and especially interactions) in a mostly-human-readable format that is likely to be understood by BAs, testers, and devs, even if not all of them are expected to be able to write them.

I've used them across many projects with great success, with the understanding that it's not intended to replace unit tests for calculations, nor stories for initial specification.

That's more of an outlining tool than a mind map. An inner node should be able to connect back to any outer node to fully define a thought space.
That's not what I meant (although an understandable interpretation)... what I mean is this strategy is not sustainable because cognitive jobs are increasingly less about the immediate problem and more about the long term problem, driving people to work long hours addresses short term - but ensuring people have the full power of their faculties available will allow them to make decisions and create solutions that work long term.
> one example where I think the stability/quality of the software really did play an important role is WhatsApp

The interesting part is, WhatsApp is built using a dynamically-typed language whose guiding principle is to "let it crash." Your code will have bugs so plan accordingly.
None of your examples are adventure games, they're just choose-your-path books - there is no logical challenge in them. I'm not sure if it's even possible to fail Heavy Rain not on purpose. I would rather say the modern adventure games are stuff like Obduction and The Witness.
Personally I disagree. You get some economy of scale the more people you rent with, because at any given time a lot of people will be out and about or in their rooms. So each individual gets to enjoy a lot more of the shared area (except maybe the kitchen; there are probably enough bathrooms and it's not hard to figure out how to share those). I'm thinking about things like patios/yards, living rooms, home theaters, exercise rooms.
A classic example in Rust is to be generic over arrays. Arrays encode their length as part of the type; [T; N] is the type of an array of Ts that’s N elements long. In other words:

fn foo<T>(array: [T; ?]) {

How do you define ? to work on any length?

When the RFC I referenced above is implemented, you’d write

fn foo<T, const N>(array: [T; N]) {

and now you can call this function on arrays of varying lengths.

(In today’s Rust you’d use a slice instead, but that’s the simplest example I can give.)
My experience has been the opposite of this. Mathematica/Wolfram lang seems to be a much more functional(as in paradigm) language, because of anonymous/lambda functions and “Tables”. Even loops are discouraged.

I use it for math/science stuff and I am delighted every now and then when I figure out how to use mappings in a smart and concise way. My coding style in Python changed quite a bit after learning Mathematica. However, I am not a professional coder so take this comment with a rock of salt.
Why do we cut our hair, trim our beards, make music, pierce our ears or wear clothing? None of these things are strictly necessary.

The Ancient European Picts, Mayans, Native Northern Americans, Polynesian islanders, all of these humans were HEAVILY tattooed, often with ritual significance.

Tattoos are an ancient human art form. Ötzi the iceman had visible tattoos.

It is a way to memorialize the past and express yourself.
(You are addressing the advertiser ecosystem while the focus here is the app ecosystem.)

The "word games" may not be aimed at the "average person". They might be intended to mislead those who have a concern with what Facebook might be doing. For example, it might be part of their job. The FTC is an obvious example, but there are many individuals and groups who are interested in Facebook's activities relating to privacy.

Incidentally, how do you know these things about the "average person"? Is there a citation to some studies you have read?
A vast development in building capabilities and craft I think is the answer. I don't think we have more crafting capabilities now when it comes to architecture, we can build bigger, higher, etc.. I don't think we can build with a greater sense of human devotion to ones craft and it's use to glorify God.

Buildings now show incredible material science, technological development; but rarely the decades of learning of human craft directly applied to materials.

I think if we were going from rough-hewn to well-faced stonework, opaque windows or simple slits to translucent radiant glasswork, from flat ceilings to intricate vaulting, etc.. that we too would make that leap.

We are so much richer, we can afford to keep old stuff, hoard it even, and still have resources a'plenty to keep warm, feed everyone, and build glorious buildings.
It might not be "necessary" for a website dedicated to salt shakers, but if I can provide my users privacy when reading my site(unencrypted DNS notwithstanding), why wouldn't I? It should be a common courtesy. While I'm browsing the web, I should expect that nobody but the host can tell what it is that I'm doing.

> It will also prevent older computers from accessing the web as ssl standards evolve, which is kind of a shame.

At what point should an older computer no longer work with the current web? Eventually there's going to be a breaking change. A computer old enough that its browser can't be updated is probably vulnerable to all sorts of browser-based attacks.
Yes this is bad. So is the lack of stable career jobs in other fields.
> Second, if Ph.D. students are training for but then leaving the profession, and if the humane, short-term solution to adjunctification is to close down or drastically shrink Ph.D. programs, then universities are effectively admitting that there is no future for those fields.

I think this plays right into other employment issues. There is a feeling that employers will not train you. Many STEM based employers that need highly trained individuals (DoD, Pharma, data-science, etc) are outsourcing some of that training to PhD programs. Thus far, the situation has been acceptable in STEMy fields. But the PhD program is not structured to train the high skills workforce (it just happens to be okayish at doing so) and that mis-match is coming to a head.
Xbox One does away with discs in new $249 All-Digital Edition
People can already steam music and Netflix (or whatever) and be happy with it. You don't need 4k revolution (or lossless music) on your tablet. If you cared that much about quality, you'd watch $whatever on an actual monitor (which, given our technology, is EITHER easily mobile OR better in 4k). As such, "people entertain themselves" doesn't justify 5G, just better 4G coverage.
The Japanese culture is also extremely conformist and rule following.
In my (limited) experience the letter of a rule is very important while the intent of the rule is not considered much.

I've had a few different ergonomic/ortholinear keyboards and I really, really highly recommend checking out the Atreus keyboard if you want to never look down. It's so ridiculously small (42 keys, no number row) that you know exactly where your fingers are the entire time you're typing.

It has programmable layouts/layers but if you just stick with the defaults it's no more context-switching than modal editing. QWERTY is the base layer, next layer up does symbols, arrow keys, page up/down, and a numpad. Then on the third layer you have function keys and a few extras (e.g. insert, volume up/down). Took me a week or two to get comfortable with the first two layers, another few weeks before I felt confident with the third, and maybe 6 months in now I can't imagine ever going back to a regular keyboard.

Typing `*{@` is as easy as typing `prw` with one (thumb operated) modifier held down.

I wonder what is the economic issue that is driving this? Are students not paying for quality of education? Perhaps they're shopping based on amenities instead? Or perhaps the supply of professors simply exceeds the demand, and the system is properly stabilizing itself?
That's kind of the point though - I had no idea this feature existed until they started pushing it to me. I think it's too much to expect users to opt-in to things. How would I have known to opt-in to this? Yet I am now much happier because they improved the UX for me.

I think opt-out makes sense though, for users who don't a feature.
After 30 years in IT, I've never once seen anyone use a Mac for anything business-related, much less programming. That is not an exaggeration. (At my current company, we're using 75% Windows, 25% Linux.)

Again, human fallacy and you are providing excellent examples. Thanks.
Also it micros like it did back then. Honestly no can seem to articulate what the radical difference is between this AI five and then one from last July. It microed like a God. And had zero long term strategy. Some people who know OG said that even they played different. Which lead people to think OG threw the match in favor of OpenAI for an advertising stunt.

Yeah, I can't see a way to fake Dolby Vision - it's pretty obvious when you're getting the extra dynamic range from the image - I'm surprised by how much more apparent it is than 4k. I can see resolution fakery, but that's why I asked if they thought it was possible to scale down the 4k Dolby Vision to 1080p Dolby Vision
Hold the phone. Public WiFi is where you want your connection to be encrypted at all times. A WiFi login page should be encrypted without scaring the user just because its certificate is self-signed. Beyond that, any connection that is encrypted on public WiFi is better than one with no encryption. I don't care if I'm looking at pictures of dogs and cats; it's not the business of other people on my network to sniff my activity and see exactly what I'm reading, even if they can see my DNS activity. Users aren't in control of whether a site supports HTTPS, thus it's a courtesy, given the ease it takes in implementing HTTPS, that even "innocent" web services do so.
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1503/1503.05944.pdf this basically found that 90% of the energy is absorbed on/at/around the skin.

if neurons were directly exposed they would heat up and their firing rate would be altered significantly [look at fig2 / D ] ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4233276/ )

this study did a direct exposure testing on a human's arm (and on rats and monkeys) at 94GHz for 3s at 1W/cm^2: https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a628296.pdf

this did 24h low power 1mW/cm^2 exposure of human eye like cells and detected no significant difference in micronucleus expression, DNA strand breaks, and heat stress protein expression: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4997488/

this used 42GHz on rats for 30min/day for 3 days, and tried to look for tumors/cancer and found no significant difference: https://www.rrjournal.org/doi/abs/10.1667/RR3121

so. it seems there's no immediate and known adverse effect (other than the heating and maybe some interference with the electro-biochemistry of cells, particularly with neurons).

and luckily people usually don't use phones near their heads anymore (when doing large data transfers), so we don't really have to worry about concentrated absorption on the head due to being at best a centimeter from the emitter.

> Also, what is the canonical source on 5g spectrum and power levels?

maximum permissible exposure is defined as 10W/m^2 power density (for 6GHz between 100GHz) by the FCC.
Better question is what has radically changed with the AI besides more training?
This book is beautiful and provides a pretty decent introduction to Common Lisp with a variety of simple games that it builds throughout to demonstrate various techniques.
I wonder to what extent MOOCs have contributed to this crisis. It used to be that to get advanced training of any kind - credentialed or not - you had to go to university, and this helped a lot of subpar universities survive. Now for advanced training it is becoming easier and easier to go online and those programs benefit from scale (you can have classes of 10K people, etc.)

That to me would put a crunch on middle or lower tier institutions, which rely heavily on teaching and which don't offer a degree worth much more than an online credential. In that scenario, you would expect these schools to go for the short term "survival" scenario vs. the long term "thrive" scenario, and in fact, that is what we see - lower tier schools with big sports budgets, fancy gyms, nice cafeterias, etc., staffed entirely by adjunct faculty.

Overall, the selective pressure against these lower tier universities might not be a bad thing. As those die out (which I believe they will), it could result in a good set of schools all which provide a strong, general education, and an equal, respected set of online institutions which can provide credentials for those who do not want the more traditional path.
I sought out the books for hints on the game too, originally. Now, typing this into a smartphone, I realize that Douglas Adams was right; possibly about everything.
Meditation. Not the type that keeps you calm, but the type that acts as internal debugging.

All my issues with procrastination come from some deep internal issues, for example, an aversion to working hard, sleeping early, or wanting to spend a lot of time on games as some sort of status symbol.

A lot of these come from mental scars in our past, or even the wrong cultural conditioning. Basically just think what we would do if we were in complete control of ourselves, and why we're not doing that. And then dig really deep to find out where. You'll definitely know when you strike the nerve - it can trigger a sudden rage or tears. But hitting that nerve reduces the control it has over you.

Tattoos are an extension of your identity that you get to customize to your liking. The art is an expression of who you are and your body is the canvas. Of course you might think it not necessary or pleasent but to quote The Dude: "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

Personally I don't have any but If I did they would tell a story about me. And that story is my identity, my brand. You can then experiment with clothing that reveals different things if you like. I have a few friends that get deep into the art and fashion they use to accentuate them. It does have an appeal and to some looks attractive. YMMV, etc.
