I've moved my bash based GCP vm deployment script to typescript, via shelljs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/shelljs

ShellJs works pretty nice. Not only is my script now cross platform, but doing conditional logic and user prompting is a lot easier in code than bash.

The only "issue" I've found is that ShellJs is quite barebones. I wrote a wrapper over it to do everything, such as nice question prompting and colored output.
Aphex Twin Releases Firmware Update for Bass Station II
I've had a BS II for a while and I was fairly happy with it - cool for an entry level analogue synth. I took the manual's suggestion and added a Moog Delay pedal which improved the tone, it's still no minimoog.

Then Novation released paraphonic mode for this 21 year old synth which really blew my hair back. And now Aphex has provided a firmware update that enables microtunings similar to the early Selected Ambient works. Forget planned obsolesce, this is what great hardware customer support looks like.
The versionings are not mutually exclusive. In our company we use calver, it is used mainly for planning and business purposes and works well. During the quarter or whatever period there can be multiple semantically versioned releases made. The only problematic is the YY format choice. Lots of people confuse 19.3 with March 19th in our country.

Yes and no.

All incoming and outgoing correspondence is kept on a public record and can be requested. So if you send in a request per e-mail or post, it can be accessed. But you can still can in anonymously or walk in to their office and request it physically, without having to identify yourself.

Source: Used to work as a journalist in Sweden, dealt a lot with requesting information from governmental and military organizations.

Everyones's reported income, address, date of birth, family and a whole lot more information is publicly available on request. If you have particular reasons (e.g. threat of violence), you can request to have your identity hidden and exempt from public disclosure.
The same thing happened to me, and it unexpectedly was a huge relief for my anxiety. I went off of the propanolol about two years ago after losing a considerable amount of weight, thinking that I no longer needed it. My work performance suffered and I was having considerable difficulty finding a job and was getting the same sorts of crippling anxiety I'd had in my 20s.

It took about a year and a half to finally have a light bulb moment that the Propanolol was the major difference between the most successful and prosperous years of my life and the parts of my life where I've been an anxious hot mess. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this medicine as it's truly made my life more meaningful in allowing me to achieve what I'm really capable of as a software developer.
This is good advice for existing at all in the world. They're not toxic except in high doses, like all sorts of people.
And also making laws with fines against banks that libel you by telling a credit bureau that you took out a loan and didn't repay. "Identity theft" does not really exist. The reality is a bank loaned money to a fraudster and then when the fraudster did not pay back the loan the bank libels the person the fraudster impersonated when they got the loan. It would be great if the media changed the name they used from "identity theft" to "bank libel" but I don't see that happening.
I thought speed was one of the most crucial elements of achieving orbit. Granted the extra 3-400kmph you mention is basically negligible for that.

To the brave, I recommend trying to make a copy of a CosmosDb collection.

The only solution that doesn't require spinning up a VM, reading all the data and writing it back again is the Azure Data Factory [0]. Which according to Azure's own benchmarks [1] manages to copy only 2MBps between two CosmosDb instances each with 100,000 RUs ("Resource Units"). That's more than half a day for a small 100GB collection.

And in case you're wondering whether 100K RUs is a lot, consider the cost: 5840$/Month for single-region writes. 11680$/Month for multi-region writes [2].

Oh, and as a bonus - can you guess the official procedure for restoring a collection from a backup? [3]:

> If you have accidentally deleted or corrupted your data, you should contact Azure support within 8 hours so that the Azure Cosmos DB team can help you restore the data from the backups.

And yeah, it's 8 hours because they backup the database every 4 hours and keep the last two backup copies [3]

Most runways are too narrow for both the wingspan and wheel span. It is quite limited in areas it can land and take off.

We need to tell them apart for we might get mixed messages.
With an option to jettison the payload I would imagine it can land relatively short. The majority of stopping distance is related to having enough rubber on pavement and keeping brakes cool enough. Stopping energy required changes dramatically as weight is reduced as it’s less energy required to stop and a slower touchdown speed.

I’m not sure how the dimensions of the aircraft affect its ability to use other airports though and exiting a shorter runway after repair can also present a major challenge.
No, when anyone says “we are all adults here”, that’s a person who often socializes with people on a regular basis and doesn’t binge watch videos and shows all day, everyday.

That’s why a lot of people are getting fired up about in here. People who don’t actually put themselves out there and communicate with others face to face, are saying rules are required to interact with others.

Thus, the real asshole is the rules lawyer who barges around saying everyone must do certain things to cater to their sensitivities.
When AT&T has so willingly handed over call data to the U.S. intelligence agencies for decades, even assisting in the analysis of said data, I have to question the assault on Huawei by U.S. media.

from the punctuation and sentence structure, it is saying that "15 got placebo" meaning in the same situation as the previous statement (with tarantula). Also, what purpose would there be to having people take a placebo and be in a normal situation?

>indicates to me that -ness is exactly the correct translation of Mannigfaltigkeit, since in the instance of godhead a accurate synonym would be godliness (and in the instance maidenhead maybe maidenly).

Strictly speaking, if one entertains the distinction involved here, "Godhead", as a noun, serves as a hypernym to "God" and "Goddess"; and "Godheads" as a hypernym to "Gods" and "Goddesses", which neither "godness", "godessness", "godliness" nor "godessliness" do. This makes sense, as "Heit" used to function (and in some very rare German dialects supposedly still does) as a separate noun, unlike "-nis" and "-ness". Does that help make the distinction between the two suffixes clearer?

(Note: You left open the matter of -ig and -y.)

>would be to simply describe a space as manifold rather than a manifold

Correct, you got that right, however, I think that talking about spaces in this way doesn't so much serve as a substitutive translation but as a consequence of the distinction involved - coming hand in hand, basically.
This is simply not acceptable because it would silently break too much code. Parameter passing in C++ used to mean copy, not move.

Perhaps a more important rule is that id-expressions should mean lvalues, not xvalues. Note that even expressions of rvalue references are not xvalues in such contexts. So, making something to-be-moved visually different from others is quite intentional.

Alternatively, to prevent use-after-move cases by additional syntaxes with typechecking rules (like Rust) can be a good idea, but it also does not work here. And C++ still lacks destructive move. (Note this has been considered at the very beginning of the design. Sadly it does not easily interact well with other features. See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n137...)

There might be latent sales department demand for more features. I don't think there's latent market demand for more features, at least not to the extent consumers would choose to pay for new features.

How many Facebook users were willing to pay to have to download a separate Messenger app, or for Oculus integration? How many Apple users would pay extra for the Touch Bar if it were a standalone feature?

My guess is, not many. Probably not enough to justify adding the feature.

The article makes this out to be about digital devices like Echo and Google home. I agree that these devices should allow for choice in what gets sent back to the companies.

More broadly, I believe that being able to secretly record conversations you participate in is probably for the best. This varies state to state. For example, in New York 1 party consent is legal but in California it is illegal, from my understanding.

Though I haven't had a need to secretly record anything, it feels like a backstop against fraud from bad actors. You hear about so many horror stories from telephone customer service, law enforcement etc, that may have had a recourse if only there was a recording.
Untrue. Many people are victims of kidnap, extortion.

The complications with flying a twin engine during a single engine failure have more to do with flight characteristics than structural.

Ie, does the rudder have enough authority to stop a spin or does the engine provide enough thrust to maintain level flight.
That's a good question, and it is probably some of getting used to something. It also means getting used to some answers people may not want to hear. When Timmy asks why Sue makes more money and their boss has to say that Sue is better than Timmy, that's going to be quite an ego blow.

In theory this should make everyone better, but practice is different. I used professional sports earlier because I think that is a good example. There is very little hiding there, and people know who is better for the most part.

Jiu Jitsu is a great example IMO because it's person vs. person. You can tell a lot about someones personality the first time to roll with someone. When they get beat (which they will - even by someone who is physically weaker), do they get mad or do they get excited to learn how it happened? The former never comes back because their ego will not allow it, and the later wants to learn how it was done.
Before critiquing your argument, I'd like to know what your vision of the landlordless world is.

What happens when someone cannot afford a down payment? This is two use cases: One is for people who are early in their career and have not acquired a down payment, and the other is for people who have low incomes and can't save.

What happens when someone will not live in an area for more than 3 years? For more than a year? A common rental pattern is "I can't sell it yet, so I'll rent it for a few years to avoid losing too much money." (The transaction costs in realtors, home inspections, and closing costs are substantial, and the growth via inflation help mitigate that cost.)

I mean, we can go back to slums but I don't think that helps anyone.
I have personally decided to avoid buying 'Made in China' products whenever it's possible. It's hard, but I don't want to support their work conditions or predatory geoeconomics in any way.
From Wikipedia [1]:

"40,000 feet (12,000 m) is only about 4% of a low earth orbital altitude, and the subsonic aircraft reaches only about 3% of orbital velocity, yet by delivering the launch vehicle to this speed and altitude, the reusable aircraft replaces a costly first-stage booster."

Since I've mostly lost interest in computer science, my goals are much more modest.

I think I'd like to pound out a language that succinctly describes sheet music. I've seen at least one, but I think I could do a better job. The toolkit would probably include a realtime display showing the results of the interpreter in order to avoid a PITA save_file/convert_file/look_at_output cycle.

This would be especially useful on smaller projects like leadsheets.

The New York Times sells premium ads based on how an article makes you feel
You could argue that is happening in a sense. However, they make it clear up front what behavior is expected and what the results of breaking the code of conduct is. This is not dissimilar to any employment relationship. My employer could fire me for things I do during my personal time that are not consistent with their standards, so I have a financial intensive to conform to their code of conduct. Additionally, I have an obligation to not do work or accept payment for things that I believe are morally or ethically wrong, even if it is offered by my employer and it is substantial.

The difference is where the line is drawn (what the code of conduct requires). My opinion is that the low tuition costs are not reason enough to say that the school is coercing students to live a puritan lifestyle.
Have you ever exchanged a look with a stranger and their expression was such that you immediately got a deep impression of their inner life, of their humanity, and felt a connection? That happened to me with a raven, while we were both enjoying a stunning view of a sunset at Petrified Forest National Park. It was a large, old, rumpled, wise seeming creature.

Surely that environment primed me for the experience. The mostly likely explanation is that I had a kind of moral hallucination. But it's changed the way I've seen ravens since. I attribute self awareness to them. When they caw what I hear is laughing ... at a ground bound inferior like me.

Reading _Mind_of_the_Raven_ only reinforced this feeling.

What a great read! I've never thought about how the way we experience the surface of the earth as 2D manifold of a 3D space, and how up until recently (relatively speaking) this was unknown.

It's interesting to expand on this idea and realize that maybe we are making the same mistake again, and that from our local perspective the universe is 3D, when in reality, it's a 3D manifold of a higher dimensional space.

One thing I am still unclear of though, is that isn't this proven to be the case? Is it not true that we are provably living in at least a 4D space, where time is the fourth dimension? We can observe its existence but cannot move freely through it and are confined to free transformations only in 3D space? In this way, aren't we living in a 3D manifold in a 4D space? So maybe then the question is are we living in a 3D manifold of a +4D space?
Self-absorption and selfishness at the expense of others is a “filter bubble” that seems popular these days. While you could probably construct an argument that this slang isn’t the best description, that’s no reason to stop using it as shorthand for “a subgroup of modern social culture whose values are locally aligned but contrast with those otherwise proximal to them, whether physically or culturally”. Being selfish does not imply that you are a member of a local ‘cult’ of selfishness, so a group-focused slang will be required if you seek to replace that usage of filter bubble.
You've got it backwards. This has nothing to do with mandatory reporting laws. You are assuming something is said about person B during person A's confessional. That isn't what is being described.

A student confesses to their religious leaders that they have done some sin. Fine, go through the religious repentance process. That's how things normally work in other religions too. A religious leader doesn't have authority to academically punish someone. What doesn't normally happen, is that this info gets shared with a school authority that does. And then the school authority shares info with campus police, from where it can also go into state or federal databases.

Or it goes the other way, where info given to city police ends up in the hands of academic or religious folks who use it abusively.

A student like Madi Barney is assaulted, she goes to city police. City police share detailed info with campus police, who share it with title ix and honor code office, who share it with religious authorities. She was not the assaulter, she was the victim. Yet, because a part of the police report includes a history of some breaking of the honor code, even though as in my original response predators manipulate folks into doing this, she ends up being investigated and punished academically and religiously. City PD ends up functionally an investigation and enforcement arm of academic and religious authorities. That is ABSOLUTELY institutional abuse of power.

I didn't share much of my personal experiences, just enough to rebut the claim that religious attendance is not mandatory, that was the purpose of paragraphs 1-2 so I don't know what you are going on about. The rest of the response was what detailed the abusive system.

I didn't even touch on how this is used against LGBT students.

This is a more extreme position than many people are comfortable taking (and is perhaps not reasonable or consistent), but it is a fair position to take, and is not expressed in an inflammatory or demeaning way.

Please do not kill this comment; I think it is a good seed for discussion relevant to the article (should the US ban Huawei because it is controlled by the (adversarial) Chinese government? If so, what's the cutoff for 'controlled by the government'?). I say this because it had been killed just moments after being posted, and I think that was unwarranted.
