Sweet project! There's also https://curio.io which I stumbled across reading Aeon, and it's got high quality but pretty low volume of content so far (I'm sure they're working on that).

I've just checked LyX, actually it's quite good and similar to Mathcha, but actually it serves different goals/features than Mathcha.

- LyX: full Latex compiled, and Mix between WYSIWYG and Latex Script. Mainly use to create Latex Document

- Mathcha: can export some parts to Latex (mostly Math mode) but does not guarantee to compile, a full WYSIWYG editor. The goal to just create Document without constraints to Latex format
in Pittsburgh, part of the reason is that there are some exit ramps off the left lane. People who are afraid to change lanes get in the left lane and stay there for miles so they don't have to merge to get to the ramp
A recent example that I've been seeing more and more is pages taking over some system keyboard shortcuts. I've seen pages taking over Command-F and using their own search interface instead of the browsers. I've found utilities for not messing with copy/paste, but is there a way to block pages with keyboard shortcuts in Chrome?
The decrease in cash reserves should exactly cancel out the decrease in outstanding shares. Buybacks still help corporate executives, though. They have stock options, and buybacks make the stock price more sensitive to profits (since the company is smaller because it has less cash on hand).
Thank you for explaining.

For what it's worth, I have seen him be flexible in thinking, in response to argument, including on famously firm positions. It has happened.

Of course, I'm also aware that many people have been frustrated by perceived inflexibility, and some of those times are very unfortunate.

If it inspires patience, consider that RMS has been flooded for decades with arguments that are often not well-informed, or are not in good faith. And he's only human, with finite time -- some needles in the haystack will get brushed off before he's able to invest enough time to see them. I suspect most of his responses are almost on autopilot, because he'll talk with anyone, but most of the conversations have happened many thousands of times before. (And I'm sorry I just now realize I should've warned of that, before I suggested you invest in reaching out to him yourself.)

I don't go full RMS, myself, and I was thinking that the exact makeup of the proposed 50% RMS level could be cherry-picked by the individual/observer, and include overlap with good qualities they already see from some other sources. I now realize that anything that looked like a quantification or calculus of RMS's qualities or value was counterproductive to discussion. I'd like to modify it to say that I think RMS exhibits some qualities that I'd like to see more in people. (And, on later occasions, I might have time to enumerate some suggestions.)

Anyway, thank you for your patience here, and for prompting me to rethink some things.
> students aren't paying for their education, are going to school in the state where they likely grew up, and then are still leaving

This was me. I grew up in Georgia and went to Georgia Tech on the HOPE scholarship, but there just aren't many tech jobs in the area (despite the fact that GT has one of the top ranked CS programs). I moved to the Bay Area a year ago. If Georgia would incentivize the tech industry like it has with filmmaking recently, I bet a lot more people would stay.
Well until the next version of Swift it’ll add 10mb of runtime to your app, not worth it for 100 lines of code
While I suspect this could be much better than Google Web Toolkit the same problems will continue to exist. The primary problem was Java developers compiling code where they had no idea what the output was doing, which becomes a problem when they encounter a defect or fail to achieve a business requirement. The added problem with GWT is that no JavaScript developer wanted to touch that garbage code.

Many Java developers I worked with in the past had no understanding of callbacks, asynchronous logic, events, recursion, scope, closure, array notation (Java has this), or high speed data via random access hash maps (Java has this too). This becomes problematic because some Java concepts do not exist in JavaScript and some JavaScript concepts do not exist in Java. Often times the Java developer will still need help from a JavaScript developer to achieve basic business requirements.

Also calling Closure Compiler generated code the best of JavaScript is highly debatable.

If as a Java developer you want greater expressive freedom and more functional code like you can do in JavaScript, without sacrificing performance, you are better off writing your code in Scala. If as a JavaScript developer you want a compiler to validate your code against strict type checks you are better off writing your code in TypeScript.

In the past the only business objective behind GWT was solving for labor shortages. Java developers were common and typically competent. JavaScript developers were often less trusted or harder to find. I wonder if this is still a factor.
I think for the time being the chiplet approach is practical. Combine many dies into one package like AMD is doing.
Another piece of NYC esoterica: the city marshals[1], who are unsalaried, appointed by the mayor, independent from the police (and sheriffs), and are tasked with collecting legal judgments.

I'm wondering how much of that might have been the Great Migration: of (mostly poorer, less educated) blacks leaving the South specifically because of institutional oppression directly causing that lack of education and poverty.
What is so special about Audible recordings that is unnattainable by Librivox? You mean sound quality? You mean some holy grail vocal mics? Or vocal talent? I don't get it.
Fellow Kentuckian here, now living in DC. Yep.
Sure I follow them but their issue is it’s human read articles which is why the volume is so low.

Articles unlike books are being produced in the millions everyday and so it’s really hard to find the best pieces to read over.. which is what they have to do.

I think there is room for letting people listen to anything and AI/ML advancements allow us to get pretty damn close.
That sounds exactly like the plot of "Idiocracy" - people who aren't 'smart' are having more children then those who are 'smart' so society is ruined. How about trying to make education and other opportunities more accessible to the less educated instead of bashing them for having a couple more kids?
From a practical point of view, yes, but I would be very surprised if the C standard had any accommodation for memcpy being a way to leak the value of a structure's padding.
"Complicated" in this case consistently means "wanting their gift to be used for their ends rather than the institution's internal ends". Most of the solutions are "well, you should have a policy". What is a "policy"? It's a way to claim the institution has tied itself to the mast and can't possibly change its decisionmaking process.

The entire article is a giant warning sign to donors that there is an apparatus devoted to, eg, swindling boomers with fond memories of college football into financing Maoist campus struggle sessions.
For example, in California, UC tuition is ~$14,000/year and the state subsidizes $12,098/year per student.

Robert Hooke’s Snowflakes (2013)
I don't agree with him on everything, but Louis Rodman has some excellent videos where he goes through a broken Macbook logic board and its schematic and explains how each component ties into overall functionality. They're really interesting and the explanations are pretty good if a little condescending.
That's percentage growth, not numeric growth. So while their population increase was largely due to national migration, those migration numbers didn't need to be very high because they don't have huge populations (except Florida).
I do the same thing and have ~500 books so far. I started in 2014, so I buy around 100/year. The overall price is actually cheaper than buying paper/ebooks, considering I buy many new releases.

Also getting longer books is a really good value, since they cost the same. Just get Infinite Jest instead of 5 separate books.
I meant to just point it out as a potential other major factor - completely left out of the report because it’s from the republican majority’s office.
You could get a library card and checkout DVDs, audiobooks and books for free. Podcasts are free. Network television is free. Assuming you are working and middle class the expensive part about consuming fifty hours of entertainment isn't spending $15 or $100. It's spending fifty hours of your attention.

People buying audiobooks aren't suckers, and most of them are spending much less than $2/hr.

Where did OP imply that they are white, or that non-white people are diverse? Apologies if I missed it.
> - Reference counting is a bad compromise between the unpredictability of GC, and the burden of explicit memory management. It's mostly unobtrusive, but I've seen examples of code that require careful and non-obvious use of weak to avoid memory leaks, (sorry, I don't have the reference handy).

This is such a bizarre statement to me. I have to wonder if the commenter has ever dealt with production systems or code that uses GC? Because with years of writing and tuning Java servers, I've long since come to the conclusion that GC is largely a false economy.

You still have to deal with memory leaks but the cause this time is objects maintaining references they don't need. Sure GCs become cleverer at detecting unused forests of objects and so on but this largely makes another problem worse: so-called stop-the-world pauses for a full GC. It's still an issue you have to deal with on Java, Go and probably every GC language.

This isn't to say that ref-counting is a panacea (what is?). Particularly on servers the critical region for updating the ref-count itself can become hot and a bottleneck.

But this isn't really a problem on mobile app code. I've long said that iOS's uses of ref-counting (ARC since 5.0+) is a strategic and competitive advantage to Android's Dalvik/Java GC.

Google's Plan9 2.0 (ie Fuchsia) makes me sad (for many reasons). Just one is that they've embraced Dart/Flutter at the application level (which isn't required as anyone who works on it will tell you, yada yada yada) but Dart is such a strange choice because it still relies on GC. What's the point?

Oh and just to be pedantic, you list ref-counting as a negative of Swift compared to Objective-C. ARC is orthogonal to that. Like I said, ARC came about in iOS 5.0.
This idea that machines can only "simulate" things like emotions, while what humans have is "real," is very common.

But it also doesn't make sense unless you embrace some sort of Cartesian dualism.... humans are physical machines with some sort of magical "spirit" added. I would think science oriented people would reject that sort of view in 2019.
The US Government used to publish procurements in something called Commerce Business Daily. By 2002, that had been replaced by the FedBizOps web site, "https://www.fbo.gov/". The paper version is long gone.

NYC puts the City Record online at "https://a856-cityrecord.nyc.gov/". Get your bid in for the new garbage trucks now. It's surprising that NYC still publishes the paper version.
Eintr and PC Loser-Ing: the “Worse Is Better” Case Study (2011)
J2CL attempts to solve a much different problem than GWT. It does not try to replace js or js developers.

J2CL is designed for cross platform code reuse. For example, the code powering Google Docs front end needs to be written for web, Android and iOS. J2CL does the transpilation of all document manipulation and rendering logic from Java -> JS (and accomplishes this with unprecedented js code size). The UI is still written in JS.

Java -> Android

Java -> Backend Server

Java -> J2objc -> iOS

Java -> J2CL -> JS/web.
As far as Inksccape goes, the MacOS experience is one of the worst I have ever had to deal with. Luckily, I only use it to extract individual photos from EPS/PDF files.

Unfortunately, all the good editing apps like Sketch and Affinity Designer cost a fortune when you factor in the actual use case. Figma is alright, but the desktop app feels like I am working with a piece of origami.
What's even more weird is making every 10 line function a "library" and the average program having 500+ dependencies. JS people are so hung up on "re-usability" that they completely miss the concept of dependency hygiene.
Prolly need some sort of ml to parse every image used on device and tag potentially dangerous ones. Wouldn’t be too expensive on devices with tensor units...

Apparently Apple already reports your offensive photos already, can’t imagine why browsing should be treated differently.
Credits expire and there is a max of 6.
And a police force that likewise rivals militaries both in size and equipment.
A naive implementation would have the problem you describe. However, a smarter library implementation avoids this (e.g., by generating an id for the button, saving the id on mouse-down, and checking the id on mouse-up). The user of such a library won't have to worry about it.
I agree. This integral cannot be constantly zero in that region, as the integrand is not itself constantly zero.

Also, there's no reason to expect this integral (merely the last term of the explicit formula, the one arising from the trivial zeros of the zeta function) to count primes all in its own, so no reason it should be zero on its own below 2. That statement instead correctly describes the sum of all four terms, in the article's presentation.
"To my mind, the definition of accessibility is making decisions that make a product more accessible even if doing so does not make more money."

Their clients (libraries) are the ones providing a service to end users. It's up to the libraries to determine what's important when selecting a supplier or developing a custom solution.

Imagine I download an app on my phone. And I find it can't be used with a screen reader for some reason. Who is responsible here? Me? Google Play? The app publisher? The outsourced developer who did the coding for hire?

Now imagine the same situation, but:

- the app publisher being a US entity which takes federal funds

- the app being assembled wholly from existing community-maintained open source projects

It seems obvious to me that the party providing the service, and not the developer of the underlying software, is responsible.
Relax, he was just joking.
But we must still remember that archaeology in particular has been tainted by various non-scientific ideas. It is an old discipline that, at times, was used for political purposes. For instance this passage:

>>> Evidence had long suggested that humans first reached the Americas around 13,000 years ago, when Asian hunters crossed a now submerged landmass known as Beringia, which joined Siberia to Alaska and Yukon during the last ice age.

Talk to the Inuit about that one, the assumption that 'primitive' people were only ever able to walk over a land bridge rather than migrate along the ice coast in boats. Many longstanding ideas, especially those most convenient to questionable ethnographic ideas, need to be challenged. Frankly, I look very closely at any idea that appeared in 1950s/60s highschool textbooks, such as the above land bridge concept. The clovis/pre-clovis debate is so tied into US politics (ie the challenge to the "first" in "first nations") that everyone should be very careful.
It is, a little. You can't sustain a listening rate of less than nine books per year. That's because there are no plans that provide less than one credit per month, and you can only put your account on hold three months per year. I suppose you could bank extra credits indefinitely, but if you only want to read six books per year, then after two years you will have a year's worth of credits banked. After four years, you'll have two years worth of credits banked.
In short order the Supreme Court will decide on whether or not to include a citizenship question on the upcoming census.

The result of including the question will sow fear in non-citizens, fully entitled to be counted (the census requires "whole persons", not just citizens) and is projected to cause an undercount of many, many millions of people in "brain gain" states.

This will directly effect the amount of federal money, by many billions of dollars, that goes to states for education. You think this article is somehow disconnected from that? That maybe some of the senators that sit on the Joint Economic Committee might have something to gain from this?

This is not about bad choroplethy and bogus metrics, this is American politics.
Neither have I. I manage over 30 images on dockerhub. Maybe this means they are certain my data was not in the data that was leaked but I'm not sure how they'd be certain of that.

They did just post the notice in a banner at the top of https://hub.docker.com

Are you always this cripplingly autistic?
The compiler may elide memset if it's not possible to access the value in a standards-defined way, so your defense might not actually be doing anything.
Yeah, not only do the city and state have applicable open government laws, this paper ranges in size from 16 pages to 100 according to the article. (The current edition is 36 pages.)

Combining those facts with the small number of copies that are still physically printed - nowadays it's mostly read for free online - doing it themselves is the only plausible option.
Polynesian sailing and navigation technology probably beats Roman on the open ocean.

The Mediterranean is warm, pleasant and calm (boats did and do get wrecked by storms, but it's a much smaller risk). Distances between landing sites are short. If the wind dies, then it's feasible to row. You can stay in sight of land for travel to most destinations.

The Atlantic and Pacific are wild and dangerous.
Thanks for being supportive.

If it is any consolation, things aren't as bad as I make it out to be. My life is technically speaking (from 3rd person POV) the best it has ever been.
I have landed my dream job with a really amazing team. I have group of really supportive friends in the city where my job is. I stay far-away from family, but my brother is literally the best emotional support anyone could ever wish for.

This Monday, I will at least try and give one of our university counselors a visit, while I still have free university care. I have tried twice and bailed on it. Maybe 3rd time's the charm.

Lastly, sorry for venting out on the platform here. It's not your baggage.
So Ive got to ask, and I've failed to find answer through research for this question, where the hell are all the educated young people at? I'm 28 and relocated to Tampa Bay and I have no idea where my cohorts are here or in this state.
It also occasionally obfuscates some of the safety issues under the guise of "smart" classes.
This worked brilliantly on my Chime Android, and I'm quite surprised the scroll-jail trick worked too.

I suppose the author just wanted a quick PoC, but with enough work, one could mimic an interactive browser address bar, including the menu that with refresh, bookmark, etc and even the HTTPS padlock with security information. Browser UIs being designed in CSS itself, one could easily copy/paste from the browser itself.
That would be good for books too esoteric to justify a professional recording, but machine learning will never get as good as a professionally narrated audiobook. The form is so distinctive that the training data would need to be the very best audiobooks.
Absolutely. NYPD has more employees than the FBI, and lots of powerful capabilities.

I'm not sure the map backs up what you're saying.

If you look at the 2017 Net Brain Drain it shows the following top gainers:
- Texas
- Virginia
- Illinois
- Maryland
- Colorado
- California
- New Jersey
- New York
- Massachussets

Georgia and North Carolina also showed strong gains (along with many other states). That may be blue-leaning but it's not a landslide.

It's more like people are concentrating in the biggest cities generally, and to the degree that there's a blue-shift its that states dominated by their urban population lean democrat and states dominated by a rural population lean republican, so the cultural change follows the demographic shifts rather than driving them.
Forgot the options but there are some. Optronics ? spintronics ... neutronics..

This simply won't happen till Swift can interop with C, C++ and possibly even ASM, fluently.

Even then, you need structure, data types, and actual foresight while writing code, which leaves out all the less CS/SE trained peeps, such as scientists.

And Swift is never going to be better as a scripting language. Lua, Python, Bash etc all have a few things in common, and Swift would stand out like a sore thumb in that company.
Yeah I'd appreciate an ELI5 source for this also. The article mostly assumes that you already understand the concept and the linked video is incredibly dry. Some visuals alongside the code would be nice.
Used to read your blog several years ago, and really enjoyed it. Good seeing your name pop up again.
If we only concentrate on market forces then we'll always be making faster horses instead of cars.
There's a robust genre of country music involving a husband who loves his wife deeply, and his wife who goes crazy because he doesn't show it overtly enough for her. (Or, more commonly, involving part but not necessarily all of that setup.)

> Templates are Turing complete (lazily evaluated, purely functional, and side-effect free), so whatever your language of choice can do can be backported to C++ (granted, painfully, but probably less painfully than throwing out all your legacy code and starting from scratch).

This does not logically follow, since templates are evaluated at compile time and hence have restrictions on what they can do.

> C++ supports zero-cost abstraction, so it will get very close to low level C performance (including constant propagation, loop unrolling, type-unsafe transformations, hoisting, inlining, etc, etc) even if you throw piles of lambdas and encapsulated methods at it.

You do have to be careful with what you're doing, though.

> the compiler is slooooowww

I mean, it's not like the Rust compiler is fast either…
Sorry to hear, this sounds like burnout
This is awesome! I've had ideas for a board game that has a similar gist. Now I know how to think about it in abstraction.

If I had enough friends to try this out, I definitely would.
I've never recorded for Librivox. I just record music and have gear so I know what the work entails. I couldn't provide a voice actor's inherent vocal quality, which seems to be some neutral everyman's voice you could'nt put a face to. But if you want to pay someone so much money to read your book into a mic and do some basic editing that they could purchase a brand new car at the end of a weeks work then be my guest.
That's either your platform's problem, in which case you should be very worried, or (more likely) you had some other undefined behavior somewhere else and it ended up biting you inside free.
