Bedtime is also at a fixed time of day, if you choose. Alternatively, you can choose to sleep more in the winter and less in the summer: in this world your smartphone tells you when to go to bed, at which point you can choose to draw the blinds or turn off the lights, depending on the season.
"According to later estimates from CIA officials who worked on the U-2 project and the OXCART (SR-71, or Blackbird) project, over half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s through the 1960s were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights (namely the U-2) over the United States. (45) This led the Air Force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to allay public fears and to protect an extraordinarily sensitive national security project. While perhaps justified, this deception added fuel to the later conspiracy theories and the coverup controversy of the 1970s. The percentage of what the Air Force considered unexplained UFO sightings fell to 5.9 percent in 1955 and to 4 percent in 1956. (46)"

They can embrace Linux, but they can't extend it in any meaningful way. By which I mean they can't ever create a Microsoft brand of packaged Linux. The Linux marketshare is already flooded with distros, and any software that earns revenue running on Linux runs on all the major distros more or less equally well. What could Microsoft create for which Microsoft Linux would be an option so compelling that companies would pay money to buy Microsoft Linux?

For example, MS could create a whole new graphical alternative to X and Wayland that works better than them both. Their challenge for capitalizing on that would be to create a software that works only somewhat well on X or Wayland, but works perfectly on MS Linux. I predict the Linux crowd will not use it. At best, they'll end up providing an alternative for the benefit of MS aficionados.

> For many non-tech companies where IT computing is a cost center, their employees won't be able to match the iteration speed of Google's engineers constantly improving on GCP or Amazon's employees enhancing the features of AWS.

Exactly this. As an ops person, this is exactly how I explain it. Sure we can build something fairly competitive on-prem or in a colo, but we won't have an entire team of top-flight experts bent on improving it as fast as possible. That per-GB cost is buying a lot more than just bandwidth and drive space.

> Over time, the internal IT dept treats the other departments as adversaries instead of customers. Executives get fed up with slow IT departments and get excited when a few clicks on AWS dashboard gets them servers spun up in 10 minutes.

This tends to be more of a problem with organizational mandates & processes. If those processes aren't addressed, then you'll end up with all the same problems. Perhaps they will have different labels on them, but underneath it will be the same issues, delays, outages, and recriminations
I am rather surprised that so many users here--who are presumably some of the smarter people out there--supposed that from this email that B&H had found some sort of "loophole" or "workaround," twisting themselves into pretzels thinking about it, rather than simply assuming as a default that it was some sort of discounting promotion gimmick. That was the only thing that came to my mind from square one as soon as I read it.

I'll play a bit of devil's advocate here: Was it though? Financial advisors were always mostly a ripoff for people with basic financial literacy who aren't trying to do crazy tax stuff or laddering CDs or something. If anything, this should just accelerate the switch to index funds.
>It's all about content and demographic targeting. Female targeted comics basically do not exist in the west. Shoujo manga is not popularized / suppressed by the western community. Webtoons have a lot of female creators early on represented that continuously pump out women targeted content. Women could easily be 80% of the core video game playing population if the correct content was made. It's an absolute joke that it's been more 10 years and we still haven't gotten a single twilight video game.

Man, that's a pretty big reach to go from shoujo manga is unpopular to "the west is suppressing women's media". While growing in popularity for some time, I believe that manga in the US was and still remains a niche market that remains associated (to a greater extent than comics) with low social status groups.

I will say that the American comic scene is pretty inbred though. Yes, there are indie comics, but in the US, the vast majority of comic sales are from two companies marketing their shared universes and associated characters [1]. In comparison, manga tends to have each author put out >=1 distinct series, typically with their own separate worlds. I believe the same applies to the french/belgian comic scene as well.

I understand this sentiment but let’s call out all of the spades.

Another loophole: Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors. This team took advantage of a one year salary jump resulting from TV revenue which granted them exactly the max slot money they needed to sign the second-best basketball player in the world (at the time - he is arguably the best in 2019).

The NBA gaffed here, honestly. They could have negotiated a smooth salary cap raise with the union over several years. They refused, and it led to arguably the greatest superteam in league history (and this comes from a Heat fan who remembers LeBron + Wade + Bosh very clearly).

One good metagame play deserves another.

But Windows will reboot for an update even if an app isn’t “reboot aware”. So I can be encoding videos or downloading a large game and it will just reboot, and I’ll wake up to the task not done.
Why not? Google did it.

Almost no one besides the publishers have numbers, but it is rare for more than 1 or 2 (probably sailor moon or fruits basket) shoujo books to be in the Amazon top 100 manga titles at a time. And that cool Josei title everyone is talking about was no where near that list.

When the Manga boom was at it's height in the US (like 2005 or so) IIRC the consumers of Manga were something like almost 60% women or girls, and I doubt it has changed drastically. And while I remember Peach Girl and Nana and Hana Yori Dango (and the aforementioned fruits basket!) being popular at the time, I don't think they were 60% of the sales. And Shoujo is less successful in the US today than 15 years ago.

(There are plenty of theories for why, elaborated elsewhere.)
> sociopath

I assume most people who are world class (in anything that takes practice) and appear honest and/or normal are somewhat "sociopathic."

Driving towards a goal with that kind of monomaniacal focus isn't normal. Ergo, if someone seems to be, they're probably acting the part.

Not that I hold that against them: their achievements are mind-bogglingly amazing, and I imagine it's easier to pretend to be normal in social situations.
Where exactly are your arguments tho? Accusing people of being anti-semitic neither makes them anti-semitic nor does it make you automatically right on the issue. The burden of proof is upon the accuser, you. The anti-semitism card really lost its power because you cried wolf falsely too many times, as illustrated here.

That's a good point though. Webtoons have the app, english-speaking manga communities have gathered around scanlation hub-sites like the now defunct batoto and their like. However, webcomics are in general stuck on late 2000s individual webpages with a small roll of "friends of the creator" links.
When should tests be written for code?

The answer will quickly reveal their methodology and how they approach a project. Generally people don't use tests when prototyping. Some people use tests when things break, others write tests before they code something.

Each type of response is appropriate for a specific role or business and that question is good at determining that.
Whataboutism is not a good defense to founded charges of racial/gender discrimination, unsafe working conditions, and harassment. Despite your claims, there are plenty of companies that do not have these problems, and many more that do not suffer them to the same degree.

There are several libraries inspired by the grammar of graphics and ggplot, and there has even been something like a port (although its now abandoned):

What I think the author means is that there is no ggplot in the sense that there's no One Ring To Rule Them All -- ggplot2 basically killed off lattice and base R graphics for about 90% of users. The Python graphics ecosystem is more Balkanized.

Of course it does. Depositors currently don't think about the risks to their money at all, because they know they will always be made whole.

Of course, the reality is we do have to pay for every bailout. As taxpayers.

Unless, of course, where you put your money is on you. Then there'd be real interest in banking with low risk.

I know my opinion is unpopular, but I sure would love it if the world would simply rid itself of timezones and stick to a singular time. Does it _really_ matter if it's broad daylight at 0200 Earth Standard Time? Circadian rhythms aren't affected if people still go to sleep at night and wake up at day. It standardizes time relativity on a single scale. And it saves us software engineers a lot of headache.
Social conservatism on American campuses
The context is also relevant here.

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.”
It's not really moving so much as staying on daylight savings year round. "AST" is another way of saying EDT.

you're right, an automatic update could install malicious software, but the common request has been to have software that law enforcement can use with any device.

e.g. law inforcement gets a tool "BreakEveryonesSecurity.exe/app" that can talk to any device they find. For that to work all devices have to be pre-compromised. Another work for pre-compromised is "insecure".
...why? In the consumer/desktop hardware space, Windows has much, much better driver support. What benefit would they get from this?
The sun at the highest point in the sky has little or no biological significance. Sunrise, on the other hand, is what our circadian rhythms sync to.

If you spent a while living without clocks and with limited artificial lights, sleeping when tired and waking when it felt natural to do so, you would slip into a schedule based on sunrise.
I wrote out an entire well-reasoned response to your comment, then finished reading your comment comparing Abdul-Rauf to Curry. I mean, not even Reggie Miller or Ray Allen?!

Curry is a generational shooter and transcendent offensive talent. 2x MVP, 8 seasons of 20+ PER. Over 20 ppg over the last 7 seasons.

Abdul-Rauf averaged 14.5 ppg in 9 seasons in the NBA, never breaking 40% 3P% or 20 PER.

Curry has NEVER shot below 40% 3P% in a season.

Abdul-Rauf’s closest comparison on BBall Reference is Rafer Alston. Most non-fans will respond to that with “...who?” To that I say “exactly.”

Thanks,
In this benchmark I decided to go without much of the framework tuning. Mostly took it as is in order to see what I can get.
In any case oatpp is general purpose web framework, it is understood that dedicated libraries like uWebSockets may be more optimized.
Nevertheless I beleve it's still much space for tunning and optimizing of oatpp.
I know the folks at Overleaf and they're awesome! However, their editor is not open source. But yes, ShareLaTex probably needs a spot on there, though I haven't looked at it in a long while and it seems to be pretty dormant in terms of development: https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex/graphs/contributors

Had no idea it had real-time collaboration... Wonder how it's done. Digging in now... :)

If you're using it, it would be great to get your thoughts on it and what particular things you like about it.

Update: ShareLaTeX uses a string-based collaboration algorithm (i.e. LaTeX is plain text, not a structured document format), and seems to be limited to max 2 collaborators (though that could be old info), so that explains why it didn't appear on my radar. I'll take it for a spin anyway, thanks!

>a more pedantic means of saying "they lend out the money given to them by depositors"

As the other commenter mentioned: they lend out more money than the depositors gave them. It works roughly along these lines: depositors give the bank $10 million. The bank can now make loans worth $100 million (or some such number depending on the type of debt). They're creating money "out of thin air".

Neffy probably knows more about how it actually works, but what I described is the basic principle of fractional reserve banking.
This is a great idea. Not only is flopping cheating, it's dangerous. Harden was legitimately poked in the eye recently and when he went down everyone ignored him, precisely because of his history of faking injury. Officials need to know when an injury is real.
Agreed. I've used Vim as my editor for as long as I can remember, and combine it with make if a project needs some kind of compilation or post-processing step. The flexibility of using it alongside a powerful general-purpose text editor means you can basically do anything, without the need for an IDE. Even writing mobile apps, and you get a better understanding of what's going on "under the hood" as well.

Single-source licensing for enterprise-grade Linux and Windows, with a sweetheart deal. And they wouldn't have to do much, just take RHEL and offer certified builds and support. (Which is what Oracle does with their Unbreakable Linux.)
I haven't used a mouse with overloaded middleclick/scroll for a long time. They feel like a bug.

To me it helps me not have to use the keyboard. Windows is a very hybrid keyboard/mouse driven environment (e.g. Alt-Tab is almost indispensible - but simply not how I think). Using the keyboard for things that are not typing is actually genuinely difficult.

Something like Gnome with the compromises their X-based history forces onto them basically means you can use the system without touching a keyboard except for typing, which is very nice. Alt-Tab and Ctrl-C/X/V are there, I think, but I've never used them.
