Perhaps - assuming they could get one in the first place. Alternatively the application process could have simply accelerated their deportation. Things might have gone better under the Blair government, but the whole point of ID cards is to impose the state's view on everyone's status.
From the brochure, it had a few million of 64-bit words worth of RAM that was used as regular RAM ("central memory") and a lot more of ECC DRAM that was used as fast storage ("SSD"). What was the API for the SSD? Was it mapped into virtual memory as RAM, or did the ISA have I/O in,out opcodes for it with word address, or did it use the API for disk storage, or what?
Just for the sake of completeness and for those new to the topic, here are some mainstream audio programming languages people might also want to take look at:

- Csound
This is one of the first ones, a little bit dated now but there is ton of material and nice books

- Pure Data (max/msp)
Graphical audio language, also popular and very nice for beginners

- Supercollider
Object oriented platform for audio synthesis (smalltalk)

- Overtone
Functional audio synthesis platform using Clojure (totally awesome)

Having come from Latin america and studied in a US college, it's always jarring just how much students in the US drink. Don't get me wrong, whenever I went back home we had a few drinks and some who definitely had bad habits. But US Students were just animals, entire bottles of liquor for a single person, keg stands, passing out for hours just to do it again later tonight.

Frats are definitely the main culprit of spreading this unhealthy lifestyle but I also find that having the drinking age be so high (21 in the US) really gives kids this insane pressure to show off or glamorizes it as an "adult thing" to do.

My family let have a few drinks once I hit 16 during family events and was regularly going out at 18 without ever feeling the need to get wasted or having peer pressure of drinking. I learned my limits early on and rarely got wasted since it just didn't appeal to me.

Meanwhile, the frat parties were the only way to meet girls on campus and gladly supplied alcohol to anyone who paid. Definitely a recipe for disaster and after a few mishaps I just skipped out on them entirely.

I think they should just lower the age and put the onus on parents to guide their kids toward better drinking habits, smoking is way worse for both you and those around you and the age is 18.
Thanks. Just clicked through to the ChucK site.

Random fun fact: when an English speaker says "strike", a Korean speaker hears five syllables.

seu-teu-ra-i-keu

(Well, to be fair, it's more like "an awful lot of sounds that have no business being in the same syllable merged together", and less "five distinct syllables", but still that's how Koreans end up writing the sound in Korean.)

I think the net-negative claim can be said for all real-time social media, including the site we're communicating on right now.

Healthy communication with other humans requires empathy and careful consideration of how your words affect others. Both get thrown out the window when you blast something into a text box, aimed at a random username.

It's not that I'm a fan of Facebook, my usage of it is intentionally minimal and as a company they're appalling, but splitting off WhatsApp would make zero practical difference to the main harms they are perpetrating. It's like splitting off the confectionary stand at an oil company's gas stations. There might be some marginal benefits, sure, but it's not in any way addressing the material issues.

I've actually done this. Recovery from VHS tapes is at least technically possible, but not reliable, and relies on pages being sent multiple times. (And often a bit of guesswork.)

It's much more reliable from S-VHS recordings, though those are understandably much rarer.

Now granted, I haven't read the entirety of the 127-page report, but it doesn't seem to say much of anything about CAFO at all (searching for "CAFO" or "factory" gives zero results, and searching for "concentrate" gives five results that all have nothing to do with CAFO), so I'm not sure how that's supposed to function as a citation for the specific claim that CAFO is somehow more environmentally friendly than free range ranching.

What the report actually seems to be claiming is that free range cattle ranching is not carbon neutral on a global scale. It can be carbon-neutral or even outright carbon-sequestering on a local scale, however, with the right diet / plant availability and other factors, albeit with other environmental tradeoffs/externalities (for example, the crops that help reduce methane output when used as feed tend to require more fertilizer to grow).
Not sure its a Good Thing (tm) Oculus is part of Facebook. I'm not touching anything by Facebook with a 10 foot pole.
Up to maybe 90-95%, I'd agree. Past that... well, that last 5% is often weird bits that you have to specifically have come across before.

For something at a first grade level, consider, say, spelling bees. I read a lot as a kid, and correspondingly did very well on things like that, but across the hundreds or thousands of words these things go through... well, the people at Scripps aren't just reading lots of books.

It's also been my experience that the people who implicitly understand something tend not to want to bother with recommended prep. That was me for CS courses, some calculus, and english/writing, where I got high grades but often not top of the class. I was on the opposite side for history and statistics (and outscored at least some of the people who are far better at those subjects than I am).

Basically, if you're gifted and already have knowledge of a subject, you probably don't really want to spend lots of time studying it. This leaves you vulnerable to the weird 5% of edge cases you haven't seen before. If you don't know the subject, and have to do a lot of prep, you're going to come across those cases during prep.
I would suggest "Anatomy of a Linux ELF executable" for the title. A binary file could be anything.

Nope. Never. I take "everything" to be an exaggeration for effect. I've only hammered in peg-like or nail-like objects.

I will totally admit to pliering in a screw, however.
> port_binary_distributable.tcl[1] describes the license conflicts. e.g. "git" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl".

Why does this license conflict prevent from distributing the tool? The tool is under the GPL, which requires making the source code available, which it is, and it also allows linking against OpenSSL, which has its own rules, but none seem to disallow distributing binaries that come with it.
Thanks!! Human-ensemble learning is exactly how we think of it. Currently our crowd already does tens of thousands of reads per day, and we expect many more in the future.
It seems like you keep company with other binge drinkers. The decision of how much to drink doesn't happen at the group level during the drinking session, but at the group level when everyone decides to meet up knowing how the group dynamics often play out.

You can scream that the US spends trillions on safety nets until you are blue in the face (Or until they line us up against the wall). In reality, unless you make less than $17500 or are older than 65, you don't really feel any of it. When Americans travel or talk to Europeans they learn that our health care, college, worker protections and consumer protections are absolute shit in comparison. This leads to wanting to change the system to work for us... Not focusing on how much we already spend. If anything, the fact that we spend so much on social programs per capita is great news, because a lot of the money is already there.
Yev here -> No SMR drives in production at this point in time!
I come from latin america and my family let me drink at family events under supervision at 16. Around 17-18 I went out to parties and never came back home super wasted. Nowadays I barely drink.

Seems to me if you treat your kid with respect and guide them they can be responsible adults.

Also mind you that the legal smoking age in the US is 18 and pretty much everyone agrees that it is much worse than drinking.

Probably Louis XIV, who was infamous for his role in the centralization of power in France. It's he to whom the statement "L'etat, c'est moi" is attributed.

Side note for all the "Louis" of France: Louis XIV was succeeded by his great-grandson Louis XV, having outlived both his son Louis and his grandson Louis. It seems Henry IV's descendants had a penchant for naming everybody in line to the throne as Louis.

I'm 60+. I've just finished 8 months of French integration for adult immigrants in Québec in Gatineau (across the river from Ottawa). Five days per week, 6 hours per day for 40 weeks. My wife (francophone) loves to hear me make appointments and carry on practical interactions in French.

I can follow the news and participate in conversations with people in our circle, but movies and street speech still elude me.

The thing I have enjoyed the most is forming friendships with other students who don't speak English at all.

This region of Québec is perhaps less impatient with the struggles of people learning French, with pockets of anglophones and francophones on the Quebec - Ontario border.
Understanding Node.js by building command line apps
No, what he said is true in NJ and generally all over the US.

While being "fired" is commonly used by laymen as a shorthand for being laid off, the two have very different meanings in practice (and very different legal consequences).

Being "fired" in the US means a termination "for cause", where cause generally means commission of a felony, morally reprehensible acts, deception in the hiring process, or violation of rules set forth in the employee handbook.

Being "laid off" means a termination for any reason other than for cause. For example, if you are terminated because you are a "Bad fit", you have been laid off, not fired.

If you asked to resign instead of being fired, it would have not affect on your right to collect NJUI, because you wouldn't be eligible either way. No one in their right mind would choose to resign over being laid off unless the company was offering a termination bonus that exceeded the foregone UI.
It's a significant distinction, in this case!

Nintendo did not intentionally build a way to create and execute arbitrary code in Super Mario World. It happens as a consequence of various unintentional bugs.

The existence of this phenomenon does not tell us anything about what Nintendo is "okay" with on their platforms, because it wasn't created purposefully.

If Super Mario World contained a "code editor", that would be a very different story. You can't very well create a code editor by accident.
In the real world it rarely matter what a theoretical compiler is allowed to do, but what specific compilers actually do. UB only matters when compilers actually "exploit" it.
I guess the concern is that paying a company not to challenge the patent(and start the 6 month clock if the patent is lost) is anti-competitive and collusive.
Warrantless searches will continue to rise, as will the other forms of surveillance, data collection, etc. as long as we let it happen. As long as most people don't really understand the technology, and it's implications, the government will continue to accrue mass troves of data, then lose the data in breaches.

Not many people I know would trust the government enough to let them do what they're doing if they truly understood. I think by the time we - as a society - realize all of the the implications, it will be much too late.

In terms of risk / benefit, this is a no-brainer. We couldn't possibly ever gain enough to outweigh the risks associated with having such a massive collection of intimate data.
Yeah.

I mean that is a significant reason mobile development is fragmented. Some things have to be tailored for the device if you want any kind of mass appeal or reliability.

I think it would be a huge mistake to NOT tailor a specific experience for a Linux phone since it would then be doomed to obscurity (more than just by fact of not being Android or IOS) like the million Linux desktop distributions that never "just get it" out of the box for 99% of people.
Differentiation between candidates with equal scores is probably done by going through applications and whatever subjective info is provided there. That can be effectively random, but there's not much of an option at that point.

Nope, you have to get terminated "without cause" (i.e., laid off) to collect unemployment in most of the US.

If you are terminated with case (i.e., fired), you are generally not eligible for unemployment, though there are a few exceptions.
I have the 20 people on a team that work with Facebook Pages and we have been telling all our clients for years that Facebook Pages are either dead already or will be dead soon. From a strategic perspective for Facebook they only made sense as a cheap gateway to get brands on board the platform. Time to saddle your horse!

I did the fraternity thing in college as others have mentioned.. I am an extremely moderate drinker and have been ever since I finished college. Sometimes as little as 1 drink a month, and in periods where I am actively working towards a sports/fitness goal I might go months without drinking any alcohol. I definitely drank to excess in college but never to a huge degree or constantly. Even in a fraternity that is pretty wild there are a spectrum of students. I finished school with a 3.7 GPA, though I would say the fraternity impacted my grades, they might have been even higher. But almost any social activity would have had an effect. At my school the social scene was pretty dead outside of greek life.

- Fraternities & sororities generally have risk management plans/training these days. I am not sure I think they are more dangerous/less responsible than underground/unorganized social situations on a college campus. Fraternity parties often have alumni supervision. Even 20 years ago when I was in school those parties were registered an inspected. House parties, off campus parties, hidden dorm parties were far riskier.

- The European model of letting people drink younger often gets brought up in these discussions. The only problem I have with that is Europeans on average drink far more alcohol than Americans throughout adulthood. I am not sure I believe the kids are more responsible in Europe either when you consider things like Alcoholic drinks marketed to high school students that would never fly here.

- The massive fraternity parties are getting shut down these days on campuses. My alma mater has banned all drinking on campus and at fraternities/sororities/social clubs on and off campus, even for members/alumni who are 21. The weird thing here is they put a loophole in for sports teams... athletes who are 21 and alumni can drink at sports team events.. ridiculous.

- Some of the largest national social fraternities & sororities are requiring all chapters to ban alcohol among members now

”Exactly my point. It shouldn't be necessary to spend all that time futzing with tools, the tools should be there, ready to use.”

It isn’t necessary. The tools are fine, and/or improving them won’t solve the fundamental problem. People are just procrastinating.

”Online availability does not scale. These are precisely the issues that digital tools should be good at addressing, but have failed to do so.”

Short of making an AGI that fluently speaks your target language, there are no obvious improvements to learning tools that will address the fundamental problem: you need to talk to actual humans.

Actually when you make a knowledge worker / service worker in a business processes 5* more efficient the experience is that they spend 400% more time on the cases that they have left. These are the cases that you can't automate and that before automation you couldn't service properly/economically. Now you can, so the workers do.
If I drive a rental Ford Focus to the location where I commit suicide should Ford be investigated as strongly as my documented major depressive disorder and the breakup I had with my spouse?
