> If you think that a new version of Python is that different, just ask a new question with the corresponding tag.

I use python versions to illustrate the point. That doesn't.meannit encapsulates all the nuances. For example, take a question that asks about the best way to handle HTTP client needs in Python that doesn't include an answer suggesting the requests module[1] because it predates it? Its not strictly tied to a python version, but it does.auffwr for being older, and adding a new, better answer years later may take years more to be ranked high in the answers (if ever). Can.that problem. Be solved with tags? Maybe. Can it. Be solved well by fairly free-form community decided tags? I doubt it.

> Also you could try retag a question with the appropriate version tag, e.g. [python-2.x] or [python-3.5], so other people will know that when using a newer version of Python there might be other (better) answers.

Yes, and people could instead just volunteer their time to accurately rate every question and answer on some absolute scale, say 1 to 1000. Unfortunately systems like that don't scale because it requires too much effort from the individual, and people tire of it.

What sites like Stack Overflow and Reddit spearheaded was to instead give users many tiny, easy, and individually insignificant decisions which when taken in aggregate allowed for the emergent behavior to show its value.

I suspect we'll see a similar solution (at least in part) to this, where some small behavior is incentivized to not just generate and rate the data, but curate it over time. Tagging may be part of that solution, but I think it's fairly inadequate in its current incarnation.

1: I'm assuming requests is still popular. I'm not really a python programmer, but it's more common than my preferred languages so I figured it would convey the point easier.
It is. Then again, whenever I feel like it's just entertainment, I open up my Facebook feed and find that it's two orders of magnitude dumber. When I see what my family has on their feeds, it's an extra order of magnitude dumber still. Of all the places I could waste time on-line, HN really is one of the better ones. It's probably also why I find it so sticky - it's intermittent reward, where reward can be - and was in the past - enlightening or career-changing.
Fritz!Box 7490 here, I love it to pieces. Best router I ever owned. But I agree that the admin interface is a bit too simplified and doesn’t allow for any advanced configuration.
There was a company doing research on reflectors based on this. I wonder if progress has been made.
Germany has had coalition governments almost all the time since 1949, and there are very few „lunatic fringe groups“ in parliament. Let alone part of the government.

> It was Knuth who noticed a book that had been electronically typeset (Patrick Winston's AI book), realized that electronic typesetting machines actually had enough resolution to print like “real books”

Searching for what the actual resolutions were,
I saw in your older comment (1) that you mention "Alphatype CRS" and "more than 5000 DPI."

If you mention 1977, and there were already 5000+ DPI machines then, I'd really like to read a little more about that: it's impressively more than what the "laser printers" used by mortals were able to have. How did these high resolution machines work? How did they achieve the resolution physically, and how did they manage to process so much bits at the time when the RAM of microcomputers was counted in kilobytes?

Agreed! I was already prepared to be annoyed by sketchy metaphors that didn't quite make sense, but this was delightful and very informative to read.
Dark mode on XS Max. Love the low contrast of metadata and controls compared to white content.

Noticed the content going under clock on iPad Pro landscape but not bothering me on iPhone. On iPad it is using translucency but perhaps not enough of a fade out.
I don't see why they would be more of a hassle. Why would they even care if the HTML is being rendered on demand or pre-rendered and stored?

Regarding cache, I don't agree - having your site cached by the edge nodes of a CDN is quite important nowadays.
I don't think you understood my comment. What I mean is that regardless of what you think of Redis and threads the fact that doing IO is so wasteful and adds latency and CPU time remains and is a constant.
FUD in my view because this is about access to specs not use in end products.

The interesting issue here, though is why is the SD Association an American entity althougn it was originally setup by Japanese firms?
I think we're also going to see a push by China to change the game in that area.

I see your point, an h* would probably also be inappropriate. What would you use? Just a normal p tag with some styling?
I feel MIDI is severely underutilized outside music. It's a simple, standard protocol that relays switches being turned on/off, and knobs being turned high or low. The only standard alternative that I know about is would be USB HID interface which has its limitations.

What are some cool uses of MIDI you have seen outside music-making?
While I was big into LaTeX during the university, even wrote my thesis with it, using the MikTeX distribution, nowadays I rather use the likes of Word, FrameMaker, DocBook or DITA based tooling.

> I’m not current, so I don’t know if anyone has bothered to do a dvi viewer optimized for today’s display technology.

Oh, if that's the problem, then please just point to a better viewer for yesterday's display technology. Or even a decade ago's. I'll find you an older monitor from whatever era you had a good viewing experience on and try it on that. Because I'm one hundred percent sure an older display technology is not going to make it look better. You can see above that above pointed out that it's looked awful since 2003. I can vouch that it's consistently been awful since over a decade ago, and PDFs have consistently been fine... on every kind of display and resolution I've tried. I've absolutely never, ever had a good experience viewing DVIs.
For backwards compatibility, all MIDI 2.0 features will still work over 5 Pin DIN cable.

And here I thought smarthphones are the social equivalent of neighbourhood kid playgrounds of my generation. Kids there were each on a similar, but slightly different and completely independent schedule. We wouldn't arrange social events in advance, we'd just go outside when we wanted and play with whoever happened to be there, for as long as either of us was there. Just like social media today.
I have a wiki I keep on GitHub rendered with GitBook.

Here is my workflow of editing and publishing it:

https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/other/wiki-workflow
My current static setup consists of:

* Nginx [1] - Serve the content with some settings, such as compression and HTTPS.

* Pandoc [2] - Builds the HTML pages and throws a header and footer in there, as well as a comments section [3].

* Bash script [4] - Runs in a screen session, polls git for changes, pulls and rebuilds the content, then builds RSS feeds.

Whilst this works for me, I could see how WordPress could be desirable. Some online editor, ability to add "plug-ins" (i.e. some bits somebody else coded), tracking, comments, etc. I think there is space for some static page generation system/script that adds a light weight editor and the ability to add other people's scripts.

> Will MIDI 2.0 devices need to use a new connector or cable?

> No, MIDI 2.0 is a transport agnostic protocol.

> That's engineering speak for MIDI 2.0 is a set of messages and those messages are not tied to any particular cable or connector.
Why?

> Lombard wanted to cut 20% of staff — about 22,000 employees — to reduce debt and make the company more competitive. But many workers retained the protections they had enjoyed as civil servants.

What?

> Between 2008 and 2009, there were 19 suicides of employees, who left notes blaming the company or who killed themselves at work. Twelve others attempted suicide during that period.

How?

> Engineers were demoted to call center jobs. Employees say they were micromanaged, isolated and assigned jobs without training. Families were moved across the country multiple times in short periods of time.

What happens if they are found guilty?

> The defendants face up to a year in prison and fines of 15,000 euros (about $16,750).
> (scala? That's another story for another day)

This makes me curious - was it the language or the runtime characteristics?
> Regarding cache, I don't agree - having your site cached by the edge nodes of a CDN is quite important nowadays.

How many of the Alexa top 10K or so have cacheable HTML content (not JS, CSS, images, video) in CDN? Can you provide a few examples?
> It will also be compatible with all Android apps and Web apps and come with its “App Gallery,” according to Yu.

So likely just a Android fork/rebrand.

Sigh.

I read the papers, and don't see anyone applying for permission to build replacements for the nuclear plants that are being decomissioned. Why not?

My guess is that the taxpayers won't insure nuclear generation against accidents/cleanup anymore. (There are also rules that would need to be changed, but those rules have been changed before.) It might be possible to get permission to build nuclear plant if the operator has liability insurance and a safe way to store the waste, but not without that.

And AFAICT, if the investors/operators need to pay for insurance and waste disposal, then nuclear power is too expensive compared to either building spare wind/sun capacity, learning to limit electricity use, or a combination.

I'd be happy to learn better. But these "thinktank" pieces aren't thoughtful. "X has disadvantages or problems, therefore we must do Y" is just pretense. What Y in the real world comes without problems or disadvantages?
I'll bite it.

With nowadays lifestyle and state of Law doesn't make sense to marry in the traditional sense. Ok you can do a pre-nup but that is a huge hassle for the couple.

People value stuff differently and on the long term ignoring that is a certain path to regrets. So the best, IMHO, each one should keep legally their stuff with some joint ventures on common projects (house, etc). However I'm not saying to strictly split every expense or be stingy. I'm happy to pay most of daily expenses, holydays or extras. I just don't want to wake up one day feeling used neither legally get stuff from my partner or her family.
It did not take $8.7B to develop this drug. Novartis paid that amount (a huge premium over what was expected) to purchase the company that actually did the work. As another poster has noted, if you include the cost of clinical trials this cost closer to $700M.

One can make various claims regarding what value private enterprise made in the process of getting this drug to market, but none of that value proposition was provided by Novartis. Novartis is just the one who saw something shiny and new and who (over)paid a ton of money to get the right to be the gatekeeper for this treatment and set the toll.
I accidentally found out something mind blowing about Mac OS/X recently:

Go figure!

Buy cannabis seeds online at the great price
If you are in need of cannabis seeds then it is best to buy cannabis seeds online from Canna Seeds Bank. This is the largest seeds store provide huge variety in weed seeds. More details at: https://medical-marijuana-seeds.weebly.com/buy-cannabis-seeds-online.html
I agree. From my perspective, I try to make the most secure website but have to know that the end user will be our marketing team.
I've tried both static only and WordPress.
Both are good for each side. BUT what I've found to be the best compromise is Webflow.
Honestly; it's such a great tool. It produces website in as pure HTML as possible (you can export the Webflow site as pure HTML/CSS/JS. Or have Webflow host it on their S3 and Cloudfront setup with AWS. The best part is that the CMS editor is really good and easy for the non techy.
The designer tool is great for non tech too. It's simple. But at the same time has the functionality to be flexible for tech developers.
Now it's not perfect. But I think it is the actual real balance between both.
I don't think taking it down worldwide has anything to do with China. It was an Apple decision.
Did you understand from the article why the workers felt trapped in these jobs? Was the economy or sector extremely bad at the time?
I've heard of Mikrotik, seemed popular with SysAdmin types, at least until they were widely targeted by some malicious folks looking to compromise SysAdmins to exploit the networks they manage.

Found one of many mentions (sorry for the long URL):

I heard something about software limiting the routers, so you had to pay for license upgrades to get full functionality out of their routers. Any truth to that?
To determine "who is doing buybacks", don't we need to normalize by market cap, annual revenue or profit, or some similar metric?

Apple having the largest buyback amount doesn't seem to tell us a ton by itself, given that they are among the top few most valuable companies in the world.
You can use Stripe Checkout without a server - all you need is to configure the products on the Stripe account, then use JS on your site to pass the product SKUs when redirecting to the Checkout page: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/reference#stripe-redirect-...
That looks really cool. Is anybody already using this?
It is so that you can use the same VPN server with devices which support wireguard and which only support IPsec.
I think "foo\bar" should resolve to a directory named "foar", for "foo<backspace>ar". ;)
That’s the likely option, but it’s also possible that they’ve come up with a reimplementation of the Android Runtime…
In the months prior to the Google+ shutdown, I took several pulls of the full listing of Communities on the site via sitemaps files. Though not the same level of detail as profiles, this produced interesting results.

The total net number of communities was increasing by about 1 percent per month (80,000 communites added). At the same time, about four thousand communities per day were being removed (unavailable when queried in the 24 hours following the sitemaps pull), or 120,000/mo. Total (gross, not net) new community creation rate was quite high: 200,000/mo.

This continued until new community creation was disabled in February 2019, in advance of the site shutdown. Total communities numbered over 8.1 million at final count.

A pretty considerable level of churn.
The tricky think about a source-to-source transformation, is where do you store the meta-data to map the new source back to the old source, for the purposes of error reporting, debugging, and deoptimisation? You can't just map from one list to another as your optimisation function.
I don't think Higgs is really widely considered monumental in the same was as those other people. He had one good idea (at essentially the same time as Brout, Englert, Kibble, ...) which got his name attached. But I am a professional physicist and know none of his other work, in contrast to Dyson, Weinberg, Witten, t' Hooft, ...
> This comes as Google cut off Huawei devices from its Android OS following a U.S. order banning the sale of American software and components to the company

I don't understand what is the point of this. Sure, government/companies doesn't have to buy anything from Huawei but why they are not even allowed to sell Android to others?
At least on paper, some hardware h.265 decoding is supported on Intel since Haswell (2013), on nVidia since Maxwell 2-nd gen (2015), on AMD since Polaris (2016).
Uranus: for anal rententives
And... I don't feel bad for the cops at all about this. Really they need to go back to good old fashion police work instead of this kind of sting and sweep operation.

They caught the guy selling. Charge him, don't use that as an excuse to open a fishing expedition on his life. Warrants are supposed to be specific, and since there can be certain unknowns about physical locations prior to issuing then courts for a long time have allowed this to be somewhat vague. For a specific phone the warrant should identify it specifically by serial number or imei or some other thing that specifically identifies that device. When searching it again should be specific as to what and where they are looking. Really what we should be doing is having a detailed third party post review of all these warrants to determine the truth of the matter that was sworn too. When the law is used to override a persons rights there needs to be harsh accountably.

Police using this argument of, they are bad therefore we need to stop it, is eroding freedoms and privacy. There is far too much of the ends justify the means going on in modern law enforcement. Our courts are far to slow to catch up and understand the technology.

Sad thing is that people who aren't "bad" don't see a problem with this overreach because it's unlikely to directly effect them, and when it does people will pass it off as an anomaly.

Anyone who has their life subjected to an open ended investigation will be found to have engaged in crimes.
Now we just wait a decade for any DAW to support it, plus another million years if you're an Ableton Live user...

Agreed. Also, Alpharacks has regularly shut down servers of mine and had to give me new VPSes with 100% data loss on the previous servers.
That's awesome. I hope that all asian phone manufacturers like xiaomi, sony, samsung, and others get together and make an alternative to ios and android. They are big, and they can pull it of. Android apps compatibility is a big plus. Finally some movement in the market.
But it doesn't support WhatsApp.
Docking Uranus before deploying is wise. All you need to do then is flush and wipe Uranus to minimise your chance of an infection.
Because this is mostly not about security, but about trade war and protectionism.
No really, if this is such a big deal then why did Popcorn Time ever work in the first place? It was (is?) also hugely popular.
Never seen the term 'plectics' before. Definitely seems like a source of inspiration for Rich Hickey's famous talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI8tNMsozo0
I raised this issue quite few times here and other places when there endless was banging on about CO2 exclusively, plus the soot/dust issue with the glacier melt, got called all sorts of things, climate change denier, at the kindest.

Climate change is is not a one dimensional problem and the science has a long way to go, based on lack of demonstrable predictions alone.

Considering Sailfish OS has done that, they might just have forked that instead. Indeed, I believe there are other re-implementations of the Android Runtime out there, they could just have forked.
Or whatever/0

For the article what it try to do is using limit to see whether the difference converge to a finite number

diff(x) = one(x)/zero’(0) -
zero(x)/zero’’(0)

Where one and all zero function approach 1 and 0, smooth etc

Find diff(x) when lim x-> 0
Ohh hardware decoders! Makes sense.
