X1 Extreme is a better choice imo, up to 64G (replaceable), 2 m.2 slots, a GTX1050 for casual gaming or ML and a 4K display. I have one on order.

There is also the P1, which comes with a Xeon (!) option and Quadro P1000 graphics. The market for the P1 is pretty specific, but if you need those nVidia certified drivers, this is the one.

Edit: obviously you wouldn't run Linux on the P1 if you bought it for the certified drivers. It would still work though.

First of all, if there's a special get out clause for mathematics, why shouldn't there be a special get out clause for God? God isn't part of physical reality either.

But anyway, the question was whether religious belief was necessarily based on "blind faith", not whether it meets some kind of positivist criterion of ideal rationality. People who believe in God wholly or partly on the basis of arguments aren't believing on the basis of blind faith. You might think the arguments are bad, but you could have a rational discussion with them about that.
Not exactly like pull requests, but I'm working on a versioned open source database system:

https://sirix.io

Basically each commit results in a new (efficient) snapshot which shares database pages, which have not been touched by modifications. Furthermore record pages are not simply copied when only a single record has been inserted/updated/deleted.

Basically you could always revert to a former revision and commit a new version.

Kind regards

No, that's just your opinion. The OVP is center-right, the FPO is right wing/populistic.
I think this is inherently a sociological problem than a technological one. When there are enough people in an organically grown group, the community will become unsustainable and then 1) it disintegrates into multiple groups until it becomes stable again or 2) it transforms into a hierarchial, authoritative society where a small group of people makes most of the decisions.

Also, I think Mastodon’s design deliberately steers instances away from becoming large ones; it rather tries to be a nurturer for various small communities and subcultures. It doesn’t view size as a good thing, and that’s totally okay. Nowadays, I think we need less monoculture and more diversity/creativity in our society.
No, I also like it. I’m not saying the complaints are unfounded, but they’re not my issues. I broke the command key after about a year of heavy use, but it took about five minutes at an Apple Store to have it replaced. I’ve broken keys on every laptop I’ve ever had, including the venerated IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads. (Don’t even get me started on how many problems I had with that horrendous trackpoint thing.)

Since then, my only complaint about the MBP is the arrow key arrangement, which I will never adapt to, and the goddamn useless, laggy yet hypersensitive touchbar.

When I have to use other people’s keyboards, I dislike their long travel now.
Recent and relevant talk on Nuclear Weapons and International Security by John Mearsheimer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdvdKdnpCRg

> "Great powers constantly try to gain nuclear advantage over their rivals and they do it because there is powerful incentives to do so"

> "The ideal strategy is to be the only power in the system that has nuclear weapons...however desirable this situation is, no state is going to achieve nuclear monopoly in our lifetime. (So) the best outcome a great power can hope for is to acquire the capability to launch a splendid first-strike against each of its adversary"

Being opaque on capabilities when it comes to nuclear weapons (especially when other great powers are being opaque) makes strategic sense.

Fastly Files Registration Statement for Proposed IPO
This was triggered by a defamation lawsuit where a former female MP was being harrassed via facebook, made the harassement public via twitter, and subsequently sued by the owner of the facebook account. She lost the lawsuit and was ordered to pay damages. The court found that the owner of the facebook account is not necessarily the harasser, so making the harassement public is libel.

Of course this case was only a welcome trigger to implement some law to cause FUD. Austrian government is completely illiterate in all things regarding internet, but in this case (and the case of the copyright directive), I would go as far and presume malicious intent (not just stupidity).

Ask HN: Trendy programming language for creating 2D game
I would like to keep improving my webdevelopment skills (I'm a Java/JS developer), but at the same time I would like to create a pet project - 2D game (let's say it would be a simplified Factorio, desktop/web).

Or maybe Java/JavaScript would be suitable for it?

> 3. The input to a sorting algorithm like abacus sort is a list of numbers. Even if there are n numbers, the number of "beads" you need to simulate is exponentially proportional to the length of the longest single number.

I think this is where we'd mismatch: I'd assume baked into the problem space is that you have N numbers to sort, they are each of size K where K is fixed and bounded. As a solution to "sort these N 16-bit ints, for some arbitrary N". It would be same problem space that can be solved in O(n) with bucket/counting sorts.

It's a sad state of affairs. Every programming language is just copying the 'next cool' feature from another language. Duck typing, deconstruction, functional stream-like constructs you name it.
I guess this ends when every language features is copied and we get X omni languages with Y omni SDK's all having same features with different syntax. The thing is that I only really need 1 omni language, not a dozen of them, so I feel that all the feature stealing in the end will be detrimental to all but the best supported omni language.

I guess some companies started fast with Ruby/Python and similar and instead of rewriting to static/typed languages they pushed forward features that would allow them to just continue where they left off at the expense of having a more concise problem oriented programming language that's good for solving specific problems.

Possibly among groups of people who regularly break the law. I can't see a normal person willingly accepting this sort of risk (e.g. being persecuted for child pornography someone else downloaded) for no good reason.

Also, the authorities will find you anyway if you've ever used a SIM card with your real name in the same phone or even if you only bought the phone from a place where device IDs are registered (like Apple, presumably).

The OeVP current platform is to curb rights of immigrants, to reduce social support systems, lowers corporate tax rates, introduces laws to restrict social housing to non immigrants, reduces child support payments for children in other EU countries, continues the policy on border controls in Schengen, restricts skilled immigration, sets a maximum limit of 1.5 euro per hour income for asylum seekers when doing social service. What did this party do that’s center?

The policies that OeVP introduces and advocates are more restrictive and conservative than the FPOe did under Haider.

I'd recommend trying out the cheaper options first so you get an idea of what sorts of nibs you like.

This right here, I applied two times, first time I just knew the interviewer wont approve my visa when I saw the way he looked at me, I had a feeling I was bothering him, he straight out said no without even checking my papers, he only checked them when I told him I've plenty of "evidence" and supporting documents and he just took a glance, ignoring everything.

Second time I got a really nice interviewer but I applied at a out of country consulate (you've to apply to a US consulate from your home country) which I didn't knew at a time, he said he would've approved my application and seemed visibly sad that he couldn't help me.

I stopped trying. I've been a co-founder of a US company for more than 10 years, 50+ employees, I never been to US.

The point is you have a path to trace if needed. Say some criminal has done that, they've established some kind of contact with the "cash strapped person" to do so - either electronically or in person. Electronic traces are pretty feasible for major nation states to uncover since they're ingesting packet traffic metadata from the whole internet traffic of countries. In-person traces can often be covered by surveillance camera records etc etc. Once there is a point of entry, there is usually a path for entities with governmental powers to investigate.
Huawei says, "Huawei is a private company wholly owned by its employees. Through the Union of Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd., we implement an Employee Shareholding Scheme that involves 96,768 employee shareholders. This scheme is limited to employees. No government agency or outside organization holds shares in Huawei."

How can that be true? When a shareholding employee leaves, including when they are fired for cause, does the former employee get to keep the stock and continue receiving dividends until the they choose to sell the stock to someone else, who may or may not be an employee? If not, then the employees are not actually shareholders, it's just a bonus system.
I'll be honest, I actually prefer OSMand to some other navigation apps. It may be that I'm used to it, but I find it works really well.

> Roaming costs are basically non-existant these days in the EU.

Data plans can be limited for other countries, even within the EU (and frequently are), i.e. if your prepaid contract allows 5GB monthly data transfer for free, the provider might limit this to 500MB for roaming and beyond that limit, you can pay a hefty fee per MB.

In general, prepaid cards aren't famous for having a generous data plan...
Mobile app = table stakes these days. I think though that Mercury being a place to park cash for startups and earn interest to off-set SaaS costs could be worth it though.

A Design Pattern for Building WPF Business Applications
Let me tell one thing: I absolutely hate sloppy engineering. And by sloppy I also mean rushing. There is a class of engineers and engineering managers who think that they are rockstars because they can churn out code quickly. I am absolutely disgusted and sick of this attitude.

And why do I bring it up here? Because I suspect this kind of attitude was partly blamed for this fatal and tragic accident. Of course this is pure speculation. But my 12 years experience in the software industry makes me believe that's what happened.

Chrome was faster than Firefox and Internet explorer. And rarely took the whole pc down after a crash unlike the other 2 so people moved of them to Chrome unless something like that happens where some major websites become completely unusable on Chrome few people are going to move of it now.

I think it would be nice a bit more 'generator' (perhaps based on comment scores/comments, etc) and a more open source "cloud" to handle the up/down voting (possibly via the "cloud" filters in your app).

That's why I call them "centrist". They say they are conservatives, but they don't conserve anything.
> they tried a Windows laptop and liked it

This requires Windows to become likeable.

I (and plenty of other people) will like Windows once it:

* has a consistent UI instead of 3 control panels with icons and UI paradigms ranging from Windows 95 to Windows 10.

* ships with quality applications that don't try to eat the entire screen to display 2 lines of text (pretty much all "modern" built-in apps are a disaster in that regard)

* has an App Store with decent, curated apps. Now I'm not sure if stores are the future on desktops, but Apple at least seems to be able to keep the crap at bay and actually have some decent productivity apps in it. Windows Store? Oh yeah, knockoff Flash Players and similar scams, and near zero apps you'd actually want to pay for.

* doesn't come with ads nor invasive telemetry that sometimes re-enables itself after updates (don't mention the Enterprise edition which you can only get in volume, so no solution for freelancers & small businesses)

* doesn't force a stupid phone-style lockscreen on non-touchscreen machines (I'm sure you can disable it with a Group Policy or registry tweak - my point being, I shouldn't have to spend hours doing that - macOS comes with reasonably sane defaults in comparison)

* has a start-menu search that actually works and doesn't surface irrelevant crap from their failed attempt at a search engine.

* has a calculator that doesn't take 10 seconds to load and then asks me to "rate" it (seriously? can't believe I'm saying this)

* proper QA - since Windows 10 the quality has gone down the drain and it feels more like a half-assed Linux distribution except that it has ads and you still pay for it

MacBooks definitely have their flaws, but overall it's still worth it and I write off their price to the cost of doing business (even if I had to buy a new MacBook every few months it would still be worth it for me). Microsoft (and their OEMs) can have my business once they put out a decent OS that actually feels polished and works for me, not against me. They managed to do it with Windows 7, not reason they couldn't do it again.
