I haven't read a chess book, but I did some tactics a few years back and got to 1300-1400 online.

Around that rating, the most important thing is to learn how to not blunder. Doing tactics is the most helpful for that. You also learn to spot and take the most advantage from your opponent's blunders.
Didn't this guy dox notdan?
Correct, but you will have to find/build the shared library. Also, as soon as the build systems support 3.8, I will add 3.8 wheels.

I tried to support all 3.xx platforms that numpy supports:

Water has a really high heat capacity, meaning that it takes a lot of energy to heat.

Intuitively, how much water do you think the toilet paper of one bathroom visit would heat, if usef as fuel? (Answer: much less than what you would use to replace TP)
A lot of states do this. Florida Retirement System for public employees is mostly paid for through managed assets.
just make Netflix (and all video streaming services) illegal and force them to distribute their content through the cable network (a bit like it is illegal to create city fiber networks) /s
Well, it seems to be mostly true for (north)America. Not much left of the native inhabitants. Must feel like a holocaust to them. Similarly for Australia.
> I can 'umount -l' and kill the hung process.

I don't use automount, but unless automount does some crazy magic ... this doesn't really help; umount -l (or umount -lf) indeed removes the mountpoint from the filesystem (so no new processes can access it and get stuck), but the kernel thread is still stuck waiting for an answer that will never come, and many processes cannot be killed even with "kill -9".
IANAL but, as I understand it, the Supreme Court decision in South Dakota vs. Wayfairwas based on state laws that do not "unduly burden" interstate commerce. Kennedy's opinion cited adoption of "the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. This system standardizes taxes to reduce administrative and compliance costs: It requires a single, state-level tax administration, uniform definitions of products and services, simplified tax rate structures, and other uniform rules." There is also a minimum sales threshold.

Tickets for local events are one thing. It's not clear to me that a city tax on a streaming service meets the tests that the Supreme Court said should be met.
To explain the history a little bit (as a Korean):

Hancom's Hangul software was popular in Korea in the 90s because of its splendid Hangul support (Word wasn't that good at it back in the day). So it became a de-facto "standard" for Korean documents. But the problem was, piracy was really rampant at the time, because it was before online DRM protection technologies came into light. (They've tried hardware DRM, like the serial port dongles, which eventually were cracked.) They almost went bankrupt, up to the point where Microsoft was thinking about buying them out (there are a lot of conflicting info about this in the internet, so I don't know exactly what deal might have gone through)

But then, when Koreans learned about this imminent danger, they launched a national campaign to save the company, and raised over $10 million for them. As for why this was possible: nationalism was pretty strong back in the late 90s, partly because of Korea's IMF crisis. (If you want to read more about the Korean economic recession and how people responded to it with activism, read more about the Gold-collecting campaign in 1998 [0]) Because of this, Hancom was able to recover and still be alive to this day.

Nowadays more and more Koreans are using Word these days, but Hancom's software still has lots of uses, especially in the government. The Hangul word processor had some unique characteristics other than just language support: most notably it was one of the first word processors to have nested table support. Because of this, many Hangul documents have layouts made of nested tables (I know some people at HN would be utterly disgusted with this, but this has many benefits: you can have total control of your document layout, and it's good for making documents with dense information such as government forms.) This is why Hangul documents cannot be simply converted to Word; the two have very different conventions about layout in general.

To conclude, reflecting this as a Korean (and an avid Linux user), I have both good and bad feelings about this. On one hand, Koreans were forced to use a proprietary, non-free program to open their documents, including important government stuff. This also sucks for Mac and Linux users (The Mac version was horrible the last time I've used it, and I couldn't get the Linux version to install on Arch Linux). On the other hand, if Hancom wasn't alive, then Koreans would be forced to use Microsoft Word with subpar Korean support (because Microsoft wouldn't really care about Korean language support unless there was competition). While I have mixed feelings about Hancom, I really hope that they would provide good support for Linux users in Korea.

I just read through the comment section of this article and, as someone who is planning to host my own email, it is really demotivating me.

Do you (or anyone) happen to know how the big players (AWS SES, SendGrid, Mandrill etc) work around this issue? I understand they offer dedicated IP address, but I suppose a considerable amount of their emails goes through the "shared pool".

Maybe a high volume of sends actually helps?
Hi all, this is the pilot episode to an illustrated and interactive picture book series I'm working on. Making it has been an opportunity to combine a few things I love: writing, coding, illustration, and animation.

I'm beta testing the pilot online before distributing a fully featured app, that will be home to all future episodes. So feedback is much appreciated!

The style is an attempt to channel the warmth of books alongside the inventiveness of digital (eg. hand-drawn illustrations, gentle interactions, stories inspired by the natural world)...while introducing kids to a healthy relationship with the screen.
Oh, I misunderstood. I thought there were problems to be solved in surveillance, not with surveillance. I didn't know that wasn't considered the main drive behind smart cities by everybody.
Panasonic is a joint owner of the battery plant.
Sometimes I wish there was a website where immigrants could list things that are far superior in their country of origin than the one they immigrated to. It’d be very useful for other immigrants so they can temper expectations before committing to such drastic change. Other than toilet practices & the taste of chicken, there’s so many areas where the third world is light years ahead of america. Often I have to fight the urge to lecture my pampered american kid on how much better it was back in india even though i was dirt poor when growing up there.
Do the employees and employers not pay into a separate fund that cannot be touched? I fail to see how it's the fault of the pensioners. It's absolutely archaic if the future taxpayers have to pay for a retirees pension. In Canada we have pension funds that are separately funded entities that are payed into over an employee's career.
My route has been opposite, from white to blue collar. I was software developer and sysadmin for 16 years, straight out of school. For past 3 years I've been full time hand engraver and CNC machinist at my own company. I get to do very cool actual physical objects, starting from design with customer all the way to the finished product. Not a single regret so far, even though the office job was cozy and paid very well.
There are no requirements for vacation days. However, by using the term 'holiday' it may be mixing things up slightly. In the US, you may get a holiday off (eg, bank holiday such as Christmas or New Year's Day), in addition to "paid time off" or "vacation" days that you use at your discretion.
Also, the maintainer of Linux distribution can be a local company so that public funds don't go to USA.
And if every city and town has their own tax that's different in some way? Then what?

Or alternatively, could Netflix ban all residents of Chicago?
This is an extremely bad argument. All neighbourhoods, houses, even cottage docks are controlled through planning in Ontario.

Sensible people recognize that the city will continue to exist hundreds of years into the future. We do not let any crazy person build whatever comes into their minds because failures end up being a problem for neighbours and the government ultimately to fix, which means other taxpayers.

If we don’t like it, we follow the law and complain to the planning committee. Like normal people. I don’t really get your position.
I came here expecting to find some sort of problems on mathematical proofs, since he was quote saying "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." and I got out disapointed for two human mistakes and one minor historical hiccup.
You ignored the price issue, which was measurable and real, but also:

It (used to be) my job. Does "because people fall for deceptive marketing, waste money, and then waste my time trying to salvage their reputation" sound better?
>Their executive MBA analyst and stock watcher types under no circumstances will tolerate recertification

Do you have a shred of evidence for this, or are you simply spewing contempt towards a post-secondary degree you happen to dislike?

>as well as paying shills to post nonsense and attack pilots, engineers and others who question their narrative publicly.

The CEO of Boeing is an engineer. I guess that means he's off the hook?
Easy to fix, ban long term compensation agreements. If a union wants an annuity, they can go buy it from an insurance company. No need to negotiate anything other than cash salaries. Unfortunately, not enough taxpayers vote to offset the government workers voting themselves benefits as a bloc.
How about making him the new chief of the FAA?
Depends on if you're a technical user or just a casual user. There is a ton of difference under the hood. I appreciate the new security features like LSA protection, hardening of the heap, improved ASLR, etc.
Ah I bet the author doesn’t know how to use the 3 shells...
Maybe instead of putting on a show in court, Netflix et al should simply stop asking people for their physical addresses? I mean, that is the underlying vulnerability that will allow this push to succeed.

We were so excited for the promise of the Internet to overturn all this legacy bullshit. Then the legacy bullshitters got here, built a bunch of proprietary services on top of HTTP, marketed them as progress, and are slowly reimplementing the status quo!

The Internet option, piracy, has been here the whole time. It's just "inconvenient" people say, as they repeatedly complain about new inconveniences caused by centralized services. In reality, it's simply the poverty mindset - a little bit of self-actualizing work today would pay off tenfold down the road.

I look forward to the next phase of storage getting cheap enough, along with streaming services fragmenting themselves, that it becomes trendy to trade USB keys with friends.
The #1 way you will get better at 1000 Elo is, for each move you are considering, imagine where all of your pieces will be after the move and verify none of them can be captured without compensation (in chess lingo — “hanging”)

That is, a book can teach you about basic pawn structure, basic tactics (skewering, forking, revealed checks, etc) but all will be useless if you don’t consider possible responses by your opponent.

You should be able to find plenty of AI opponents you can force to only use a very limited depth search. If you can’t beat an AI that looks 1 ply ahead, that implies that you are also not looking more than 1 ply ahead. So practice against such an opponent until you can win 100% of the time.
Doing this requires spending money now. You can get away with funding pensions with IOUs much longer than you can do it with a salary or 401k. Further the benefits of solving this kick in long after you are out of office, assuming no one breaks your system before then.
My social skills are just fine. You don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours.

If you ain't got nothing to say, don't waste my time.

I'll go ahead and respond to your shitty bad-faith metaphor: if the pigeons were spreading HIV and Hep C all over, yeah, we'd do something about it.

Now that's where your metaphor falls apart for the rest of us, because the way human society treats an animal disease vector is to exterminate it or mitigate it, and our society is unwilling to do either of those when it comes to the human homeless.

And I'd wager from your joking treatment of this issue that you'd be perfectly happy voting for the route that completely ignores their human dignity.
Yes I believe so, there are ARIA roles for tabular data:

I asked for a citation on your other post, and instead of providing one, you posted this reply elsewhere that simply repeats the claim. Please have some rigor. There are readers here sufficiently involved in the field that they are comfortable with the scholarly literature on the subject and, what’s more, expect it.

Anti-sinoism at its best
I'm guessing here: The guys installing those arguably very simple IT-systems mostly couldn't bother with Linux.

Add to that, (at least here in Germany) BK is a franchise that sells licenses to franchise operators, so I doubt they have strict requirements on the actual IT setup, just the pictures they need to display.

So you have very normal, run-off-the-mill managers and IT services, the former unable to grasp that Windows 10 with constant updates and fuck-ups will constantly require the services of the IT guys, and the latter naturally profiting of that. The increased margin of not using Windows wouldn't be enough to compensate that, and an increased price for a Linux package is something very difficult to convince those managers of.

And then also IT-people well versed in Linux usually have clients who pay substantially more than simply outfitting non-IT businesses with IT-equipment.
How do you ensure the funds are invested properly, and not in a nephew's real estate development project? How do you ensure the correct assumptions are used in calculating how much to contribute into the fund in the first place? You can adjust mortality tables and investment return assumptions to make the benefits seem cheaper than they are. The government can even choose to forego making their understated contribution if they vote themselves to forego it! (which many governments frequently have)

People's eyes glaze over when talking about their own 401k, what chance is there for voters to get into the nitty gritty about multiple government agencies' pension liabilities and investments at the city/county/state/federal level?
Had to read about this from another source, the cookies popup can't be dismissed and even when deleted from the DOM, the story is still unreadable.
If pilots are trained in how to recognize the emergency and what to do, and they are instructed that in an actual emergency the forces on the trim wheel (presumably what they are referring to) will vary, they will respond appropriately. Simulators can't exactly replicate extreme conditions, upsets and whatnot.

If you're training for trim runaway it would be helpful to simulate the full forces but I'm not sure if it reflects a worrying lack of preparedness.

The most important fix is that the MCAS should not be able to put the trim in an extreme position, the fact that it did is quite worrying.

This particular article seems much ado about very little.
The whole idea of policemen “risking their lives” is not statistically accurate. Only 144 policemen died in the line of duty in the entire United States last year (https://www.npr.org/2018/12/27/680410169/more-police-officer...)

The Chicago police department isn’t exactly what most people would call “quality”.
> Why do we keep doing this to ourselves with government jobs?

Time horizon arbitrage.

The elected politicians care about things looking good the next 4 years. The employee unions care about the life long outcome for their members.
Exactly, and hopefully fundamental sysadmin/nix/networking/DNS/basic troubleshooting (that we take for granted) skills won't get lost by the wayside. But I do feel that at some point this will happen, and those of us with those skills that remain in say 10-15 years will be as outdated/deprecated as say an AIX admin is today.
Windows NT was originally a microkernel architecture. NT4 moved a bunch of code back into the kernel space for performance reasons.

Most notably: graphics and printer drivers, which are not typically written the highest standard.

Big iron vendors don't really have that problem, since they typically control their hardware as well. Microsoft had to rely on component vendors to provide driver software and couldn't plausibly test all permutations under all conditions (even though they test very, very many).
I've worked on codebases designed using this model, and it's a vast improvement over how many web service applications are created. A lot of this seems like common sense (one codebase, for example), and some of it is frustratingly uncommon sense (like dev/prod parity).
OK, yes - the humans' entire past has been incredibly violent. But hey, even now we are not far behind, are we? (And, by the way, you can't possibly invent something horrible that can be done to a person that hasn't already been done, many times over.)
I'm sure they'll use it to fix the roads and bridges.
Just like in NY. Shot to hell.
The thing is Dany doesn't have a character change, just a change of location, available power, and other circumstances. She has a consistent pattern of “This is how she acts in in this kind for circumstance”. And then those triggering circumstances recur in a different time and place and when she has vastly more power. And she acts exactly the same way she always has.

In fact, I'd argue that a distinguishing feature of GOT as a series (and ASOIAF, the book series) is that there is remarkably little character development in the narrative, and even further that a major theme of the narrative itself is that binary positive and negative character assessments tend to be made on the basis of circumstances when the same character in other circumstances would be assessed very differently, and that changes of circumstances are easily (and dangerously) mistaken for changes of character.
I think it's also important to approach it with some humility about whether you fully understand the contours of the problem. Also I think you need to prove that you can and will do something about one problem before you start talking about all the other things you want to fix. Otherwise you have no credibility and others could reasonably think you're just complaining.
I'm not sure what you are talking about, as you can do responsive grids/columns with Flexbox. E.g. Bootstrap uses flex: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/layout/grid/
Google's plan really isn't that crazy. If all the weird things they want to do didn't work out, you'd be left with a fairly conventional neighbourhood in keeping with progressive low-car urban design principles.

It's not like Google has carte blanche to do whatever they want, they've been in ongoing consultation with city planners from the start.
You are attacking a strawman. No serious historian is claiming that.
So tell us more of your story, your perspective. I worry our world is going to be full of people who worked hard in often but not always blue collar jobs and then suddenly there wasn't enough work and people start losing their jobs and there's not much better to replace it (whether it's automation or amazon wiping our your local business, it's the same end result).

I'd expect people who that happens to to be really angry, looking for someone or something to take them out of it.
Yes! Can't recommend this episode enough.
Maybe Arch Linux is a bit too bleeding edge, but perhaps it could be done (I'm currently using Manjaro and it's as solid as the other distros out there)
I wouldn't consider anything clean just by spraying water on it either. It takes soap and some mechanical action. With that in mind I don't view wiping versus spraying as being much different than each other, im not trying to sterilize my ass so someone can eat a meal on it. In certain situations, water might be preferable or not, but 95% of the time I don't find one to be more or less sanitary, neither is truly "clean" from the start.
Perhaps an opportunity for an airship service, hovering indefinitely over suburbia charging $5 to silently hoist your air taxi to altitude...

Exactly, a western toilet will use about 4-5litres for a flush. To clean yourself with water will use a mug or two of water.

Dishwasher, Linecook (Grad student), Construction worker, Construction Superintendent, PhD Student, Field Superintendent, Business Analyst, .NET developer, Java Dev & now Program Manager. I still love to be linecook, construction any day. The best job satisfaction I ever had. I see young kids these days just beaming with pride that are able to do a crud app or some react bs and they think they own the world. No respect sorry.
I don't think it's even about being moderated, but rather that in a small community extreme ideas won't find enough support to survive, if the community is reasonable. On the other hand, it's possible for extreme communities to emerge too, but I would say that this type of fracturing is more like real life groups than not.
I have never worked an hourly paid job in the UK that has paid holiday.

I'm not sure they exist, it's sort of what hourly pay is - you get it when you work and not when you don't.

Personally I'm not sure it's something that makes sense, it should just be factored in to the wage. Most hourly paid jobs I know of don't have regular hours, even - how much do you pay for a week's holiday when some weeks the employee works 8 hours and some 24 hours? An average? Of what, if they've only been there a few months, say?

Now, time off, e.g. whether someone practically actually can take time off during the year without being sacked, is a different matter entirely.

Historically (before my career as a software developer) whenever I've felt like I need a bit of time out I've either had to negotiate it or just leave. It's usually far easier to quit a job than to convince your manager to let you go away for a few weeks. Sometimes the bureaucracy doesn't even, well, understand it.

I am personally completely convinced that the only answer to these sorts of issues is just to pay people properly. If they choose to chuck the money away regardless, it's on them.

Building some savings early in my adult life and maintaining them has been the best thing I've ever done. It turns the matter of "does this job offer holiday" "can I get the weekend off" stuff into an academic concern because you are in control.
