PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch: how to pick the right video game console:
https://infotolium.com/diffs/1223-ps4-xbox-one-or-nintendo-s...

PlayStation 4. How much does it cost? The standard model costs $299.99, while the PS4 Pro model costs $399.99. Why should I choose this console?

Right video game consoleAlthough the overwhelming majority of top console games are available across multiple platforms, PlayStation still hosts a diverse selection of titles strictly for its console, ranging from fantasy to racing games. Plus, for baseball fans, it’s the only one with a true official baseball simulation in its MLB: The Show series. Both models support HDR (high-dynamic resolution) and let you use PlayStation VR, which is currently the most affordable high-end option for virtual reality.
Yeah, seems like a click bait. You sue the owner, as he did.

Is your device small enough that it could be placed to filter the exhaust emissions from a fuel burning car and reinsert the newly created gasoline into its fuel tank?
The replies are somewhat ignorant of the nature of the Hamas-Israel conflict. It assumes that the building was populated during the bombing, which is usually not the case when blowing up buildings in a civilian area. Too high risk of hitting bystanders.

Hey @nelsonic,

Thanks for the question!

I dived straight into C ++ because I had some groundwork written in C ++ from my previous projects.
Investors financed total nonsense such as solar roads. You don't need to be efficient to get VC money, particularly nowadays with loads of free cash from the central banks and low interest rates.
Here, it is 2 records at purchase (purchase+asset creation) per item, 1 every month (depreciation) per item, plus 1 yearly (accounting for deferred tax assets). Then some at the end of the period (reconciliation of the deferred tax, asset retirement). The period has to be tracked per each item. Each asset has to have its asset card and a tag.

For machinery and buildings, OK. But for a laptop, that maybe barely survives it's depreciation period? Well, no. Folks have other things to do than paperwork for laptops.

The entire point of the asset depreciation is, that the state wants the tax money as soon as possible, and shift your deductibles into future. What you want, is to shift as much as possible of your deductibles into the current year (and it is cash out in this year, after all). I and many others don't see why small, relatively quickly consumable items like laptops should be handled the way big assets are, and the sales at other vendors understand that very well.

If you are a small company with external accountant, it will be significantly more than 1 EUR in labor and paper.

there are cards that:

restore your library,

grab cards from exile(out of game, literally),

Reverse win conditions,

Prevent losing,

Generate infinite loops - both deterministic and not(with randomness).

Create tokens(sometimes coupled with above) - which provide unlimited resources with a sac outlet.

And those aren't fringe cases - for example in EDH format quite a lot of decks win by creating some kind of infinite loop, or by generating infinite resources(or sky high amount of them)

So i would argue that resources aren't finite.
I presume you haven't read any great novelists (Dostoyevski, Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn etc.) yet.
The runtime.morestack issue is actually being tracked btw [0]. I'm also getting the impression that you want Go to be another C++, but I don't understand why.

All of your listed issues have additional details and discussions around them. It not "we don't add this stuff because you are too dumb to use it". It's more "we don't know how to add this currently so it would properly interact with other features and be non-confusing". There are some exceptions to this rule (time.Time issue comes to mind) but overall they tend to listen to the developer base. Also, keep in mind that there are also relatively few Core Go developers, so they have to be extremely careful about what they gonna add in the language. It's going to be them who is going to support it in years to come.

As for C++ - yes, nothing beats it in highly optimized cases. And there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is not only writing C++ for those highly optimized cases is an extremely hard task by itself. The problem is finding people who can actually do it with the resulting code which is going to be supportable in the future (I'm not talking about UB, races or memory leaks).

Edit: wording
The last time I used Slack it had this feature, or something similar -- it would warn you when you were sending a cross-timezone message.
Well, basically trading in your health, knowingly, and risking death in exchange for a salary in private industry is kind of weird to say the least. And to be somehow proud to voluntarily become a corporate drone in the process even more so.

One interviewee even went so far to attack environmental activists because one of the more polluting production was shot down. Same guy didn't have any issue with letting his kids play in the polluted waste dust and sand. I assumed that in that case you would be grateful as the improvement directly impacted your own lively hood.

But I get how you can be sucked into that, kind of. Especially if you are otherwise poverty struck. From the management and the chemists I found that attitude very cynical.

Reminded of Burke in Aliens and the question which creature is worth, but at least the Xenomorphs did get themselves killed for a percentage.
Hey exoesquitur, thanks for your comments. This is imake from the Elk team.

We did actually think of building Elk as a pure software project, but we opted not to because we didn't find hardware that we could use that would provide the 10x better embedded blockchain development experience that we want to deliver.

We wanted something that's breadboard compatible, 3.3v and 5v tolerant, integrated emmc preloaded with our OS, plug-and-play as a regular micro controller board not a single board computer, an RGB LED for indicating status, and no irrelevant and unneeded ports (HDMI, Audio, Ethernet, camera, etc).

Additionally, building out our own hardware paves the way for us to add hardware security in future iterations of the board.

We'll be adding more details and shedding more light into our development experience in upcoming blog posts. Please subscribe at https://elk.cc to learn more.

Happy to address any other concerns you might have.
If school start times can change, so can work hours. If one has the flexibility, one can go into work early and leave early when it's still light outside. Employers should be encouraged to allow this.
MTG can have:

an infinite amount of pieces(there are cards that restore your library, generate infinite amount of mana/tokens)

infinite amount of actions each round, by each player too!

Endgame criteria which can be changed by cards themselves.
Then it should probably be "une IHM", for "Interface Homme-Machine".

How the Apple Store Lost Its Luster
I measured the same performance (~35% CPU)on my rMBP 2012 in Chrome under MacOS.

On my new Lenovo X1X I measured 4% CPU usage with Chrome under windows. Sure, the X1 has a new CPU, but I didn't expect this performance increase. Is this a windows optimization?

Go through around 100 exercises on https://freecodecamp.com for the fundamentals, and then maybe 50 or so on https://algodaily.com/challenges for more advanced techniques.

This should take you roughly 100 hours, but afterwards you'll be extremely well suited to start tackling JS libraries and building your own projects.

> if 600 rockets would’ve been fired into the US from Mexico the response would not have been so limited in scope.

What I meant is that the reactions are not comparable. If the US used methods classified as inhuman by every single humanitarian organization that was ever involved in that conflict, then the hundreds of crude and inefficient rockets that rarely make victims would be be framed differently. Wars kill but how they kill is the difference.

Even in your examples the official justification usually involved more than a hack. You can tell how much one party cares about giving legitimacy to its actions by the effort it puts in building a justification.
I wish the answer was as obvious as the question. Honest answer is that I don't know what will work.
Yes, we certainly want to support a lot more languages in the future and it should be relatively easy to do as long as there's a Jupyter kernel (which is a lot).

We also have a proof-of-concept PR where you can implement a runtime in a notebook.

I think we'll expand the available languages as soon as we're confident the core product really solid.
You can go even further by currying the second one and then you're writing a Haskell compiler ;-)
The entire reason why we have twice-yearly time changes is that it is apparently harder to change school and work times.

And these companies usually refuse any responsibility for the aftermath. Kind of worked back when they still produced basically at home, but even the they knew the risks. But after they moved because of all the dirty shit that's just cynicism. They literally look for poor regions and people to pollute. Which sucks...

Back in its day, yeah. Then Microsoft got sued for providing it free with their OS instead of people having to wait for a long download or buying a browser. Internet explorer didn't keep up, so now it's not as good as it could be. Things change over time and that doesnt change the monopoly issues.

This is the definition used by regulators so they can leverage government regulation against companies, pretty much because monopolies don't exist. The actual definition of a monopoly is a company that has exclusive control over a supply of a commodity or service, which Google doesn't have.

Leveraging your existing, earned, market power isn't bad and wont work if the product it's being leveraged for isn't fit for purpose. Google's omniprescense has been gained by providing a service that everyone likes and wants to use. I don't see what's wrong with any of that.
The blockchain space (or, more accurately, the decentralization space), is still very nascent and there ought to be developments on various parts of the ecosystem for it to gain widespread adoption. Myself and the team at Elk are excited about what decentralization can bring, and are interested in exploring what it could bring to embedded devices.

Granted, most of the applications are futuristic, but now is a good time to build proper tools to help spark people's imagination and creativity in this space.

We'll be posting lots of projects you can build with Elk. Sign up for our newsletter at https://elk.cc and let us know if you have any further thoughts or questions.
Sigh... this is why implementing IMAP is a beast... Also doesn't cover what Exchange/Office 365 adds to the mix.

I'm happy to see a newer standard that is at least simpler to understand and implement.
I'm very interested in the "seamless DevOps" part. Could you point me to some link describing how you manage to achieve that with phoenix ? (do you use docker + kubernetes, or OTP, or something else ?)
Funny you say that, I had just been on your site the other day. Was wondering how exactly your algorithm ranked the sites.
It’s not that it’s necessarily targeted maliciously (they probably didn’t sit around and decide “hey, let’s poison a town!”), but things like this happen because black communities are marginalized and have no power (_especially_ in the south). You want to build a chemical plant. Well, the white people have money and power and all kinds of means to fight it: they have lawyers to sue, they have the freedom to show up to Council meetings, they have representatives who share their race and socioeconomic status. Poorer black communities have little to none of that. So it’s easier to build your plant in the poor, black town because nobody there can fight back effectively. Sure, it’s not lynching, you’re right. But it’s still systemic racism, just a softer, gentler version than perhaps your grandfather’s racism.

It’s not as simple as deciding whether or not you want to poison a town.
I go both ways on that one. On the one hand I want to get there. On the other hand my doctor wants me to get out and take a 10 minute walk every hour anyway.
I would be surprised if this is the case. Of those 20k unique cards, exactly 5 are basic lands (6 if you count Wastes). I also have a feeling that vanilla creatures are less common than non-vanilla creatures (and creatures are a just a subset of all card types).
That refers to the situation before it, I suppose, since I'm not sure what Go modules are. I haven't messed with Go much in a few months though. If it lets you specify somewhere which packages/modules your Go project uses and what versions are okay, and upgrade packages within the permitted version range without disrupting other Go projects you're working on, then it might be just what the language needed.
>It's nice to see a civil protest. Both sides seemed interested in compromise and moving the company forward.

It's almost as if collective bargaining actually works. Why is tech one of the few sectors with no real unions?
I agree, but I think uniformly altering work hours would prove much more difficult than doing so for schools.

"greater than 1.5 exaflops" of performance will likely correspond to greater than 1 Exaflop of sustained performance on HPL (used for the top-500 ranking), making this a likely candidate for the first 'true' exascale computer.
The LBR is great for giving feedback to compilers and PGO/FDO is usually good for 10% or more in branchy server code, so whatever the hardware can do on its own isn’t everything.

The latter case, no middle name, should be stored as an empty string. In practice, not enough care is devoted to the difference between Null and empty string for text fields.
And teaching by example also involves setting very clear limits on what is acceptable and what is not.
As someone else said, everyone is kinda okay with their time zone but hate changing twice a year. If they get to pick from the two, they'd rather have more "time" and sun after work than before it.

I believe that this quote was not published in that book, and instead he "remembered" the quote years after the book was published to put in a Harper's article. He chose not to publish it in the book because he was focused on first hand accounts of the time period, not people's statements in retrospect.

Do you know the page number this quote appears on?
It depends on who your publisher and target audience is. See this recent article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19708789
We just need to bite the bullet and move everything to UTC. In the short term, just post both EDT (e.g.) and UTC on websites and signs and then eventually drop UTC. The math of knowing what time to call your uncle halfway around the world doesn't change, you still know their normal day runs at an X hour offset.
You think someone who wouldn’t previously have developed an UIKit app is now going to do it because of Marzipan? What’s the incentive?
Presumably he was downvoted for responding to “concurrency in Go is easier” with “Disagree. I can get every bit of performance out of an 88 core CPU with C++”. It’s not a coherent counter argument; no one claimed Go was as efficient as C++, only that concurrency is easier.
My grandfather worked on high-energy laser weapons back in the 70s. The laser would, indeed, melt their own mirrors. They had to develop a whole technology of self-deforming mirrors in order to avoid hot spots on the mirrors.

From the descriptions that gramps used to give me, I'm not sure how what's described here is an advance over what he did back in the late 70s. I guess one thing is that back then, they were nowhere near being able to put the whole assembly into a pod that could be mounted on a fighter jet's wing.

(gramps also worked on the Hubble Telescope, and spy satellites)

Just because an anecdote involving Lance Armstrong was illustrative of this tactical cooperation doesn’t mean that it’s only for Lance and other loathsome cheats and bullies.

As the previous commenter pointed out, it’s common practice to work with a few of one’s opponents in order to beat all the others. Road cyclists’ greatest adversary is aerodynamic drag, which cannot be fought alone as long or as hard as it can be fought in a group of riders cooperating with each other. If you’re in a small breakaway with a few opponents, you and your opponents can choose to cooperate with each other or you can choose to not cooperate and end up falling back into the peloton, within which each rider has much less work to do and consequently tires much less quickly.
Yeah, I'm seriously still dumbfounded by this. I mean, it's such a positive, future-aware decision, it's confounding. Impossible to say how relevant .NET it will be in, say, 4 years time, but development will certainly be much better than today when you have several disparate runtimes to target depending on the platform.

Hello Rob, thanks for the post. I studied with Chichilnisky before founding, and have reviewed Thermostat. Has your company performed an energy return on energy invested (EROI) accounting for your process? Few companies (engaged in fossil fuels, renewables, or CCS) provide a comprehensive EROI and/or CO2 emissions accounting for their products. I know you explained that the inputs are low-carbon; however (1) “renewable” energy is still anywhere from 10-50 gram CO2 per kWh (effectively), and (2) the CO2 intensity of your capital equipment can be depreciated over the useful lifespan of said equipment and then allocated to each effective unit of energy (kWh? or Gallon?). I’m genuinely excited about your technology; your low capital costs, cheap materials, intermittent operations, and hopefully low maintenance cost all sound very promising.
