The 6 page summary in the 7th edition manual turned out to be comprehensive while still being approachable. I knew next to nothing about awk, not counting some snippets found on the web, after reading through this document twice awk feels like home.

The title of the article and the comments here show that most haven't read the actual text of the agreement[0]. This has nothing whatsoever to do with government whistleblowing but is about creating and safeguarding protections of whistleblowers under certain key aspects (e.g.: public health, corporate taxes, privacy/personal data, etc.).

If they need to lose 30-40 pounds (or more) that might not happen in the 1 year time frame.

And don't bother replying and telling me you lost that much weight in less time, I am aware that can be done, but not by small tweaks which these incentives normally give.
It's a cool project technically, but I don't understand the use case?

I mean surely everyone can just have real python/jupyterlab - if you run it in Docker it's easy to handle the dependencies etc.

Am I missing something?

I think video game players are probably actually left-leaning on average. GamerGate seems to have created massive misunderstandings on all sides of the issues. (And no, I'm not defending it or denying things that occurred.)

Its almost impossible to de-dumb-ass-afy any social network or comment section. How can you prevent the lowest common denominator on public forums from posting heinous content / ignorant opinions? Moderators checking every post doesn't scale and AI may never understand nuance.

One direction would be Hacker News' model of a more restrictive approach where new users must grind up their trust score in order to receive full citizenship.
Then providers of public wifi need to stop using a MITM to provide wifi access. This is an opportunity for better technology to be developed or implemented or made easier to implement or whatever.
Naturally Modula-2 also faces the same issue. What it offers is better type safety and being honest about it.

The whole point is that contrary to its sales prospect, not only does C also require to write Assembly, it doesn't have any language support for modern hardware CPU/GPUs, just like any other high level language, requiring extensions to the standard, not necessarly portable across implementations.
<~ looks like an expression for a bulk update of an immutable record.

"point.y = value" is typically a statement for a single update of a mutable record.

I'm not sure how you'd extend the latter to support the features of the former. The meaning is completely different. Different things should look different.
> Higher spending appeared to be largely driven by greater use of medical technology and higher health care prices, rather than more frequent doctor visits or hospital admissions. In contrast, U.S. spending on social services made up a relatively small share of the economy relative to other countries. Despite spending more on health care, Americans had poor health outcomes, including shorter life expectancy and greater prevalence of chronic conditions.

From your first link. It gloms all spending together without accounting for the lifestyle of our population- obesity rates, exercise, etc. Treatments are available to everyone- that means expensive care for even the elderly, who would otherwise me deemed "not worth the cost" to government budgets.

No, not everything over here is perfect. The takeaway is that there is much more to care than spending / "outcome".

I'm not entirely a fan of this, though it could have uses in other places;

Yes, that is a bizarre thing about Twitter. And it's a huge part of why I don't like it.

It's funny. For all that I support free speech, I don't have the patience to read much of it. So I end up gravitating to well moderated forums.
This is in their latest blog post "Christine expands our board’s global perspective with her career experience. She worked for many years in the Australian government"

Unity shouldn't need to have to support each blender version individually. The DCC import for all supported programs works by launching the DCC program in batch mode, making it convert the file to FBX and importing that. And I would be surprised if blender broke that.

This is self-fulfilling logic. You're claiming that if women avoid the environment because it's unpleasant, it's acceptable to make the environment unpleasant to women.
At this point, wouldn't contacting an immigration lawyer be beneficial? As he says in his other article (see lm28469's comment), he wants to visit the US and not give up hope. See https://www.ailawoffice.com/immigration/visa-denial for example.
It is clear that the current developments on the web are worrysome and we need real privacy. We need to be able to find a website and visit it completely anonymous, unless we actively submit information to said website or a court order is issued.

A cell phone tower or ISP node is ideally just infrastructure, "plumbing". Google seems to be trying to advance their strategic position in that direction. Rather than just being one search engine among several, they are trying to become part of the infrastructure. This could prevent future privacy solutions (and even prevent competitions between search engines).
Ah the marquee tag for URLs :D
The true power of such systems is that they might eventually help overthrow hegemony of the BigTelco, who have been in bed with governments for as long as they have been in existence.

I'm excited to see what this would mean not just for the internet but mobile communication systems that are so much dependant on a few vendors and MNOs that have time and again proven to breach on privacy repeatedly [0][1]. For instance, there's no viable open source baseband alternative for 4G+ mobile devices [2][3][4][5], and acquiring frequency and setting up base stations is mired neck deep in regulations and patents [6], so there is not much room for a startup to disrupt the incumbent.

Given the advent of eSIMs and increase in embedded SecureElements [7] in smartphones, the traditional way of going mobile might soon be gone for good. I, for one, can't wait.

Performance can still increase exponentially on average. There are still undeveloped ways of hyper-performant computing, such as chemical, biological (bacterial), DNA-based, optical, maybe quantum... and of course we would start replacing silicon with graphene once its production finally takes off, which should lead to 3D chips. Spintronics is another very interesting field.
Yeah, if you were writing using a safe subset across all C variants that happened to be supported across all those C compilers.

Check language support across Small-C, Turbo C, Quick C, Aztech C, Metrowerks C and many others from those days.

Likewise it was possible to do the same across Pascal compilers that implemented variants of ISO Extended Pascal/UCSD Pascal, Modula-2 and a couple of other high level languages.
Not just keybindings. I don't know how your Vim setup looks, but my Emacs setup gives me some extra "non-default" tools that are consistent across the whole program, whether I'm editing Lisp, JS or managing files in a directory. Two that I use daily are semantic select (you press a key to expand your selection to the nearest encompassing semantic unit) and multiple cursors.

I did spend several days in a row typing code 10+ hours a day in Observable notebook (I had some idea I needed to validate and demonstrate to other people in the company). While the tool itself was amazing, the coding aspect was not.

Twitter ran into the same problem. They solved it in a different way. They merged approach #1 & #2 described in the article. For high fan out, you don't write to the inbox of all their followers. This avoids high write amplification when a popular celebrity tweets. Instead you send notifications and have the followers pull tweets from popular celebrities while constructing their timeline.

Having worked with Cassandra & Redis extensively, this might work better with Cassandra. Cassandra already has sets, maps, list as datatypes and can be leveraged to build a CRDT without having to write a new database. Oh, well I'm guessing we're past that conversation? ;)
>I wish that in 2019 we were not so quick to personally attack for unique or politically incorrect ideas.

I don't think we do that any more now than we used to, is just that as what is considered politically incorrect changes some people will think that there is an increase due to them personally getting more shit, where there is actually just a change in focus.

thanks a lot :)
Godot will only ever get a slice of the low end indie market in the 3D space. There are tons of productions that cannot afford to make use of a lot of even moderately advanced engine features because it takes too much effort to generate content of that quality. These are also the kind of productions that are consistently ignored by gamers.

Becomomg a good 3D engine means putting a lot of effort into tooling and the related infrastructure. The runtime part of that is actually minor.

Much easier to use them in Simulink, but it's good to see alternatives.
> The process lead has disappeared, and when working with RF frontends (LTE, WiMax, cable modems, WiFi) their ability to cover up implementation errors in the driver is limited.

Why would that be the case? Why would those functions be harder to fix in code/microcode than a CPU's functions?
Think about how quickly drone technology will evolve. The amount of explosives needed to destroy a sub is fairly small I presume. That means it should be feasible to mass produce underwater drones to cover coastal area, such that missiles launched from subs should be outside the zone that's too close to defend. I think AI / drone technology will completely change the military landscape fairly soon, as producing them will be cheaper than defending against them.
I suspect this is the case.

How can you have a chance against WebStorm by not being the biggest editor?

WebStorm is IntelliJ Idea. It’s a full IDE with capabilities beyond that of a simple code editor: code analysis (for multiple languages), smart refactoring (for multiple languages), extensive plugin support, an extensive range of support for anything from eslint configs to understanding things like “oh, it’s an Angular app, let me help you connect all the pieces together”, etc. etc.
It's probably too late for this year's iPhone though, unless engineering teams have been working behind closed doors of both companies expecting this to be the case.

The thing is the film is nothing but respectful to Jesus, who does make a few brief appearances, and in fact what is presented of Jesus' teachings and example in life is wholly reverent.

What they do mercilessly lampoon are all the hangers-on, unthinking followers, ungrateful beneficiaries and various religious functionaries that follow rules before they follow principles. Those people get a proper drubbing.

But everything is not currently fine on price or performance. Most places don't even really have a duopoly. It's a single cable TV/internet operator and a single DSL operator, the DSL is way slower than the cable and both are overpriced. If you add SpaceX service to the mix I think you'll quickly see major price drops and equipment upgrades from most major terrestrial ISPs.
Women seek medical care for attempted suicide more then men, which is not the same as number of attempts.

Psychological treatment is critical in reducing suicide and gender statistics shows a clear bias against men when it come to medical care. That more women then men get medical help for psychological ailment is a systemic issue, and more equality would lower suicide rates for men.
Mediatek isn't far behind. If they were to put actual decent CPU's in their SoC's (which is just a matter of licensing - switching out one ARM CPU for another isn't too hard), I think they could take a big share of Qualcomm's market.
>Shouldnt public disclosure be the first thing which is protected?

Largely, this depends on your perspective of whether or not the entity (or government body) should be allowed to make a good-faith effort to rememdy/rectify/fix the egregious behaviour before you go running to the media. It's the same principle behind CVD (Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure).
This don’t add up, multiply by shares outstanding and it’s 2.4 Billions while Qualcomm was looking for over 7 Billions. So, quite logically , they must’ve have settle for some middle ground.

Plenty of enteprise developers that learned some kind of C++ long back when, and never bothered to improve themselves in this area.

I have seen plenty of code like that, specially when written by the occasional C++ coder that usually works in other languages.
I think Farage is a moron and I couldn't disagree with him more, but what a disappointingly closed-minded view you have. That view is one of the worst problems of Twitter, in my opinion.

I think Dorsey is trying to blow smoke up our ass on the other issues, because their core business is advertising no matter what he says, but I actually believe him on this and think it's one of the few really good things he's sincerely trying to do (though I doubt he'll succeed, unfortunately). Echo chambers are poison to good discourse, democracy, philosophy, humanism, and humanity in general. I strongly believe Brexit is monumentally and egregiously terrible, a result of some of our worst and most base instincts in many cases, but if you think Brexit backers don't deserve a fair seat at the discourse table, don't be surprised when that accomplishes the polar opposite of your desired goals.

It's hard to build a great website, particularly one which works well on mobile. AMP as a web framework makes it easier. There's nothing about that value it which is intrinsically linked to any particular way of rendering AMP, a good chunk of the web would be better off building on AMP independent of Google. That doesn't mean every site should, there are developers and teams who are capable and willing to build great sites and we support their right to not have to use AMP. The need to use AMP-the-framework to get instant loading is hopefully a temporary one partially fixed by signed exchanges.

The AMP cache is also made much less concerning and painful for users through the use of signed exchanges. By ensuring the content is what was provided by the origin we believe the Internet is becoming a more trustworthy place, opening the door to sites being able to be served from wherever they will be most performant.

I doubt Qualcomm was unaware. Lots of rumours spread within an industry but never make it out onto the internet.
Elon Musk seems to fall into both of the first groups.
I'm facepalming at both of them:

1. The PM just wanted it done by Friday, because the customer wanted it by Monday. This was clear at the end of the conversation, not at the beginning. So it just could have been a "Can you get this done by Friday? Because the customer wants to use it on Monday"

2. The developer clearly had no backbone, and was just throwing numbers to see what the project manager would like. 1 day? Too short! 5 days? Too long! 3? Perfect! Estimates might be a guessing game, but not a guessing game on how long the PM thinks it should take.

So yeah, facepalm to both of them, and the whole situation. But I must say that they were definitely not incompetent people. The PM was one of the best I worked with, and the dev was a smart passionate coder. It was just that situation that was a bit absurd.

Proper way on how to do this:

PM: Can you give me a deadline (not estimate!) on when you can finish X? The customer needs this ASAP, so it has priority over your other tasks.

DEV: Let me look into it and I'll let you know in half an hour. (Works out estimate, possibly asking input, adds a buffer because deadline != estimate, looks into his own schedule of meetings etc).

DEV: I can get it ready by Tuesday.

PM: I'll notify the customer.
This is the one moment that contains the whole message of the film condensed into a brief gag that seems so silly on the surface, but goes surprisingly deep. This is easily my most favorite scene of that movie.
>I wish that in 2019 we were not so quick to personally attack for unique or politically incorrect ideas...

That's the beauty of the film, it deftly illustrates that the vast majority of us don't have any "unique politically incorrect ideas". We're all, kind of, members of the People's Front of Judea. (Except, of course, for those of us who are members of the Judean People's Front.)

Basically, the movie showed that most of us are "uniquely rebellious" in almost exactly the same way. Same taglines. Same clothes. Same beliefs. Same pass times. Etc etc etc. We've all become the brooding Goth teenager, who believes him or herself to be unique and counter cultural. Yet somehow we still look, sound and dress like every other "uniquely rebellious" Goth teenager on the planet.

The film makes fun of the fact that there were very few people out there with completely unique and insightful views back when it was made. The reason it resonates today is because this central fact is still true. Not many people with unique ideas out there at all. Most of what we hear, we've already heard before.
