Google says the grapes of wrath has 464 pages.

I call that a similar ballpark. If I had an English exam with Steinbeck as one of the set texts just once I would read every word of it. I have a shell exam every damn day I work rest and play. Do you? Is skimming seeming more reasonable in that light?

I feel like, at this point, climbing Everest is starting to become morally questionable. There has been much reporting that Everest is starting to have a serious trash problem, as well as having many dead bodies strewn all over the path to the top. Any climber, even the most ethical and concientious, is just going to make these problems worse, as well as making it less safe because of crowding situations like this.

If you're thinking of climbing Everest: just don't. Climb some other mountain. There are lots of them. Let's leave this one be.
At least we know that Google doesn't get it right either.

Hard work is the most idiotic concept ever. If one works hard,he usually stays in the same place for 30 years. One needs to work smart,not hard...
Google invested Billions into Android.

Samsung tried to hedge for this by building Tizen(Bada) and realized how much needed to be invested to get an Android competitor going, so they kept the development going, but focused for their Smartwatches, as this would have to be a "if the worst happens" plan, not something that could be a profitable venture.

LG has the Palm/HP borne WebOS for their TVs, i suspect with a similar idea at the back of their minds.

Everyone else? They're too small to realistically try to save their smartphone businesses when the green robot becomes their enemy.

Google bought this platform with every dollar invested over more than a decade, they didn't do this only so that Apple had a competitor, but so that THEY had control over mobile eyeballs.
For a smaller business I’ve found nearly all co-working spaces have mailbox services that can scan or forward incoming mail.
Initially, there will need to be a lot of regional ground stations, but not because of any asymmetry in the connection. End user base stations will use a phased array antenna similar to what the satellites themselves use, though probably a bit smaller. Ground stations will be very important early on, because these satellites do not include the planned laser links for communication between each other, so they can only bounce signals between end users and ground stations.
No, they can only service a limited number of customers within a given region. The only users of Starlink, et al. in major metropolitan areas will be backbone providers.

Here's the quote below which is quite reasonable, it's their time mentoring so they should mentor how they like.
I feel like the article is designed to kindle the fires of internet drama.

“It’s not just about writing the code, but you have stand up for your code and defend your code, and there is a certain male attitude that is endemic in many projects where a woman would just not feel comfortable claiming that she is right,” he explained. “A guy who knows less than that woman might honestly believe [he is right], so they present a much more confident image.” In his experience, van Rossum sees incompetent men’s ideas gaining acceptance more often than merited because they are more forceful in how they present them.

Van Rossum believes that the different attitudes of women and men in programming communities is due to wider societal problems that we need to fix from the bottom up. “I’ve always felt that feminism was right and we need to change the whole society,” he said. In the meantime, he feels a responsibility to act in the places he has influence, like in the Python community.

He believes the key to making open-source communities more inclusive is establishing (and enforcing) codes of conduct and mentoring. Van Rossum says that he now mentors women and underrepresented minority programmers. “But white guys can forget it,” he said. “They are not the ones who need it most.” (In typical programmer speak, he calls mentoring a “completely distributed, democratic approach.”)

I used to use Hyper (electron), but I have Alacritty looking exactly like Hyper now. Just as pretty, much lighter and faster. Starts up in a fraction of the time. Keeps up with fast scrolling text. Cross platform too!
Wouldn't it be possible to allow passing by value (i.e. moving) if a reference is expected? If I don't need my value afterwards or the type is `Copy`, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Of course, the function would still receive a reference, only at the call site or wouldn't be visible. A clear gain for ergonomy.
Importantly, the study "assumes" that participants performed a "maximum number of hours per week" rather than measuring the actual hours per week. Because they "assume" the amount of time spent exercising, their injuries per 1000 hours metric is simply wrong.

Specifically, this study conflicts with several other studies that found significantly higher rates of injury (and which this study acknowledges), including 2 studies which found a 20% rate of injury and 50% rate of injury for Crossfit athletes, respectively, using controlled observational samples rather than the self-reported, self-selected sample of this study.

Anecdotally, I don't know any current Crossfitters without overuse injuries--including those who go to the "safe" gyms. I also know a larger number of former Crossfitters, all of whom stopped because of injury.
One under-appreciated advantage of H.264: it's the last video codec where the artifacts look obviously artificial. Modern codecs have artifacts that look too much like real objects, so they take more brain power to ignore. After watching low bitrate H.264 for a few minutes I stop noticing the artifacts, which isn't the case with modern codecs.
Mauritius has made it clear to the US that they do not intend to change the status of the base in any way. It will simply be on a Mauritian island instead of a UK island.
Why Philosophy Matter
I generally prefer to use Make as my build system everywhere, so that I only have to learn the quirks of one system, and it’s easier to handle mixed-language projects.

The documentation for using rustc directly is hard to find, but it’s quite possible to skip Cargo entirely. I’ve had no trouble using it mostly like a C compiler, but I have run into a couple of quirks I needed to work around:

* I haven’t figured out how to get dependency information out of the compiler, so I had to write a likely-fragile script to grep the rust sources.

* In any project, crates have a single, flat namespace. If you want to treat them like you would object files in a C project you’ll need some scheme to prevent name conflicts between subdirectories. The more rust-y thing is to use the module system to include anything that shouldn’t be visible at the top level of your hierarchy.

Otherwise, it’s fairly similar to a traditional compiler:

rustc main.rs -o my-program # compile an executable
rustc main.rs --test -o ... # compile the test framework
rustc --crate-type=rlib ... # make an rlib (roughly equivalent to .o)
rustc --extern name=path/to/rlib ... # reference another crate (required during compilation)
> the satellites de-orbit. Maybe they will be recovered and recycled, too?

Deorbit is a fancy word for burn up in the atmosphere.

They are within earths gravitational pull, so if they have a hard failure or run out of fuel to the point they can't "push back" they get vaporized on reentry. It's a clever fail safe.
Europe could disallow preintalled app stores so everyone can install their own app store of choice.
It seems a 2 watt transmitter is sufficient for some upload capability, much like in satellite phones.
The trick is phase modulation and such.
In the end, something overpriced but usable was delivered. This project was a success. I wish I could say that of all the projects I have seen.
Crossfit now aims for good form and control.

That wasn't true several years ago during the Uncle Rhabdo phase, and Crossfit only changed its tune because of the overwhelming bad press about injury rates. Back then, it was about doing exercises as fast and as many times as possible.
Very light in actual details. What does low latency mean? How low? What does high speed mean? How fast are we talking in real-world terms?
China can both jam the satellite signals or (as Musk said during a Q&A) blow the satellites up. Selling directly to consumers will not be Starlinks main line of business, it will be backbone connections to local providers. So even if Starlink is unwilling to do any filtering, the local ISPs will do the filtering.

There is existing satellite internet coverage over China. It is just illegal to own a device that can communicate with it without explicit permission.

This is different from Korean manufacturers this time. This is China caught in a national security issue.

- China has a huge domestic market and it may be sufficient in itself for a profitable venture

- About half of Android phones are manufactured by Chinese brands.

- China has deep pockets and are willing to play the long game.

- They have no choice. Trump's used the nuclear option, which may well work in the short term but in the long term this has shown China and others that they have to get rid of their reliance on US tech and companies as a matter of national security.

I think Trump's move has set a ball rolling and that in 10 years we'll see the results of that... And that won't be a pretty picture for the US.
Subsampling actually is a form of quantization, which in turn is a form of lossy compression.
Being sensible is not having a WoD one size fits all. It oversimplifies too much IMO.

People, specially who are new, haven’t gotten serious injuries, or just don’t understand how exercise can get you high, tend to fall in the WoD trap from my observations.

There have been a great mindset change with CrossFit in terms of sharing good knowledge, welcoming new members no matter their level and mixing everyone together but still everyday seems to be race day in CrossFit.

Silly on any Linux or on OS X. The available alternatives are too good, and not such a daft size. But it's a real contender on Windows where terminal apps are dire (if improving fast).

There's a setting for it. On or off - user's choice.
Are there something wrong with all networks?
Unless SpaceX has implemented high speed frequency hopping (which would 10x the cost of end user devices), they can easily be jammed. It isn't hard to overpower a single from space with a ground based transmitter.

> You can trivially install Google play store and services on 98% of the non-licensed phones in China.

You can. I can. My mother and 95% (99? 99.9?) of the android users cannot.

> The fact that a $50B Chinese domestic Android market is thriving with zero control by Google proves the thesis to be untrue.

In Western countries it's true. You also can't build an online business in Europe if you're blocked by Google because they have a monopoly on search and nobody will find you. You can in China, but that doesn't change the situation in Europe (or, to a lesser extent, the US, I hear bing has some market share still).
Why should they need one to have the IDN respected?
This is a great idea for a comic in the style of smbc. First two panels are your comment, the second panel is "Pretty soon the meta-tourism got out of hand" <drawing of a tourist^5>. The final panel is the entire human population as a directed acyclic graph of tourists^n, and a small group named "the resistance" is looking for the single "tourist zero" a.k.a tourist^0 so they can murder him and end the tourist singularity.
>You can trivially install Google play store and services on 98% of the non-licensed phones in China.

You mean Google's own Google Play store?

Sounds like Google is in control of that one as well.
I’ve realized lately that I do most of my procrastination either in Firefox or on my phone since those are the places I’ve naturally bucketed my consumption/lizard-brain-behaviour to.

So when I need to focus I’ll just start a Freedom (https://freedom.to/) session that prevents me from using Firefox (I use Firefox Dev Edition for work instead and don’t tend to use problematic websites in it anyway) and keep my phone far away from my field-of-view (it’s 80% of-the-time on silent mode).

If I’m still managing to fritter my time away then it means whatever I’m tasked with isn’t very important to me and I should strongly consider doing another project, whether it’s a personal or professional one.
The Chinese company certainly deserves the blame and shame, but Much criticism focuses on Chinese trademark system. What can we reasonably expect it to do anything here? Should it check with every foreign company when a trademark is filed? Should it intervene and regulate apple’s takedown action?

There are plenty of patent trolls and domain squatting all over the world but rarely people blame US patent office or domain name registrar.
I'm not sure why you've been downvoted for this. Notre Dame isn't just any old building, to carry on the art analogy it's in the same league as the Mona Lisa or Sunflowers etc.

Thankfully the French do have a very strong sense of tradition and cultural identity, something that's sadly being lost in most of the rest of the western world.

Limited fuel. Intelsat just lost a satellite due to sudden fuel loss. A big part of satellite management is fuel conservation.
If they are going to use a colloquial expression like "burn" to describe what the laser is doing to the retina, it ought to give a laymen an approximately correct idea of what is going on. So, "burn" should mean something like "does enough cellular damage to the retina to interfere with vision for days".
Fully agree. Seeing all the color conversion errors it can lead to also.. In the future it would be more simple for everyone to always use 4:4:4
It seems to me that they targeted China, just didn't understand trademarks work there.
A bad form of it given that you already have the ability to reduce bitrate per channel on the encoder side. It leads to a lot of issues like pixel format conversion and decoders incompatibilities for example
> 20k km

A double metric "kilo" prefix like that feels awkward. I know it's common, but I've always felt that we should just say "megameter" instead. (Also, a metric ton should just be called a "megagram".)
For many, the beauty is derived from the uniqueness or low supply of the features of the place. Whether it’s status signaling or genuinely wanting to see it in person, the limited quantity of great waterfalls, accessible and scenic mountains, sunsets, clear blue green water on a white sand beach, combined with good weather, will never be able to be substituted with ever abundant plains or deserts.

Landscape of Hawaii will be more popular than Nebraska, unless maybe 90% of the world looked like Hawaii and 10% like Nebraska.

It’d be a better world if Europe could give people more choices by... giving them more choices, instead of regulating the choices that other countries provide and fundamentally control.
It would be on the small side for greenhouses. It could also very well be unheated in the winter, it's just Paris and not Vladivostok.
Travelling doesn't mean having to visit all the tourist sites. You can travel anywhere and get a much more genuine experience by not going every tourists destination. You will have such a better experience. Especially like in your case if you studied/know the local language.
I think Google can compete on its own merit without having to be viewed as a monopolist, so I disagree that it won't be pretty for the US. Google will do fine on a more level playing field.
No it wouldn't because renewable energy and nuclear power exist. Our quality of life might drop by 50% but there is no reason we can't maintain our industrial civilization to some degree.

Intermittency beyond a day isn't even a problem because wind and solar basically cancel each others seasonal shortages out. There will be a few days in the year during which output drops by 60% but is that the end of the world for us? It absolutely isn't.

CO2 pollution is mostly about short sighted greed than about maintaining our advanced civilization.
> I want to watch films like Harry Potter, The Dark Knight, and Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, they are either scattered across a dozen different services or simply not there at all.

FWIW, Netflix has had a scattered selection of The Dark Knight and Lord of the Rings off-and-on recently. I guess that might be your point, though…
There is existing satellite coverage over most of the world, it’s just expensive and with high latency (and relatively low bandwidth).

Correct. The US DoS canceled his passport while he was in Russia en route to South America. A reporter even ended up getting stuck on a flight for which Snowden had a reservation in a failed effort to get a scoop.
> All it would take is a few EU cases where they found that the big American company was blameless, but the small European company should be fined.

We are less likely to hear about small companies getting fined by prominent bodies, because they have less impact, because their case doesn't receive public attention, because they don't lawyer up in long protracted battles, etc.

> the Spanish media vs. American tech firm

One is a press organization, the other is (usually) an ad-tech business. Different rules apply for different deontology sets. Much like FB doesn't get the same slack as the NYT when it comes to disclosing stuff.
Effectively what this opinion piece is saying is that monetising people's data generated revenue.
Therefore why stand in the way of American innovation?
My implementation from a few weeks ago https://observablehq.com/@jrus/cam16

(Make sure you watch for typos in your link.)

But frankly using CIECAM02 or CAM16 (or whatever) vs. CIELAB for doing gamut mapping is a relatively minor improvement in most cases. There can be serious issues when trying to convert RGB images to CMYK or similar for printing, especially hue shifts in the blue–purple region. But for converting colors from sRGB to a wider-gamut display there shouldn’t be any significant issue.

The big problem is that historically most browsers have done no color management of CSS colors. Looks like that is now changing, which is encouraging, whether or not the gamut mapping algorithm they use is state-of-the-art.

> ignores the fact that humans seem capable of some form of HDR color fusion

This seems largely irrelevant to the discussion in this thread.

As someone that likes the spirit behind Habitica and has tried it a few times – also contributed some bugfixes I desperately needed – I’m curious what you found a bit too much, since I felt the same way.

A long time ago I wrote a tutorial for FORTH. It's in two parts, a part written in i386 assembly: https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort...

followed by a part written in FORTH: https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort...

It builds gradually from asm primitives into a somewhat sophisticated language with features like exceptions, function inlining and a decompiler.

The major strength, probably unique amongst programming languages, is that you can keep the entire system in your head (by "system", I mean both language and the simple operating system that it implements). The downside is that the code is write-only.
Client devices will likely use Wifi/4G/5G to connect to a base station with a Starlink terminal. The terminal is too big and power hungry for a handheld device. But still, the ability to place a base station anywhere, even on a moving vehicle, is a game changer.
