Globally, we have GFS (FV3) and GDPS in the free version, and DWD ICON in pro.

For north America, we have NAM 12km, NAM 3km, HRRR, RDPS, HRDPS in Pro

For Europe, we have DWD ICON EU, DWD COSMO-D2, ARPEGE, AROME and HIRLAM in Pro.

If you double-tapping of a graph, you can compare the forecasts quite easily.

I just had a play with it. It seems very well thought out. It has a very nice tutorial that introduces all the basic concepts. I am looking forward to trying out the multiplayer aspect, as that seems to be the most compelling thing about it.

It sounds like a close-to-correct metaphor is a list of tabs associated with temporary bookmarks per tab (sorted in order first opened in the tab). That is, when you visit a new page, by default your current page does not get added to the list of bookmarks, but from the right-click menu/middle click you can choose to have your current page added to the list.
What's the average life expectancy for a convicted child molester in prison? Prisons keep records of all the I/O so the numbers should be somewhere.
Some areas to improve upon:

1) Signs at the rental property are forgeable, esp. for single-family homes. Don't trust them.

2) A good price might be a sign of a scam... or just the compromise you're looking for. (I currently rent at nearly 50% under market in exchange for taking care of maintenance/upkeep myself on an older property -- a deal I'm more than happy to accept, but admittedly not for everyone.)

3) Often government records are publicly available (although in California you have to go look them up on public access terminals in person; privacy laws prevent full disclosure online). Since many scams involve unaffiliated people representing themselves as the landlord and trying to collect background check fees, security deposits, etc., it's wise to find out who the property owner of record is with the gov't, and confirm that the person you're talking to is either that owner, or an authorized representative of the owner. If the owner is a company, you want to be able to corroborate through gov't info who's authorized to enter contracts on behalf of the company. And then don't be ashamed to ask the representative for photo ID. If they're legit, they'll respect that you're authenticating them; if they're not, they probably get upset or try to convince you it's not necessary, and you can walk away happy knowing you just avoided a scam.

While I never used a Mac before OS X, they probably were quite usable, and your question was both rethorical and snarky. There is more than one way to use a "computer". Incidentally, I only switched to the Mac after they added a shell to it with the switch to OS X. And one of the reasons I disliked Windows was the crummy shell and lack of a terminal. Also, it is 2019 and it is no problem to get a full Linux installation on a smartphone, while Apple sets up artificial limitations to prevent that.

There are certainly other ways to make the iPad a computing device - like the Macs before OS X, but Apple steps into the way of that in many places too. An app like Termux would not only make a lot of potential users happy, it would be something which could provide this in a way which could be nicely sandboxed in the iPadOS/iOS.
It's interesting to read your comment. Do you work in frequently regulation? Do you think any parallel concepts from the ethernet world could be deployed for decentralised frequency regulation where Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) is used?

HR systems are automated. The system parses your submitted cv and enters the info into a database.
Do you think a human being looks at your cv? Unlikely.
You need something more to get out of the slush pile.
Like, making sure all of the words in the job description are in your cv. Every. Single. One. There may be other techniques. Every system (can be) (has already been) gamed.
Frustration with automated HR systems is what drives so many to try to contact individuals inside a company.
Do you know how many applicants Facebook gets for an advertised position? 10,000 or more.
Even for non-computer related positions, such as real estate acquisition for their new data center project. There are simply too many cv's to review by decision makers, so they don't get reviewed.
The same applies for all the large tech companies.
If you get a formal, face to face interview, by all means bring several copies of your nicely-formatted cv.
But remember:
a cv is advertising.
Especially at the early stages.
Thank you for this. Will make necessary amends.

The number of iPads bought by those users might be just a drop in the bucket, but that is too shortsighted to look at those users. Those users are the ones who might push development of more advanced apps on the iPad, be it as developers themselves or because they would attract new app development to the iPad. Engineers and scientists might be a small market, but I think it was vital for OS X, that early on Apple laptops started to appear at conferences, slowly growing in share.

Given that he failed to actually crack the password it seems like a pretty weak argument that he actually helped.

Seems totally fine for a journalist to assist someone that's leaking classified data. They're not the ones committing the crime, the person violating their privileged access is IMO.
I don’t have any numbers on that but it seems that external tourism isn’t a big priority for China. If it were they’d make sure that the Visa process is easier, at least the people at airport information counters speak English and other small things that tourists would encounter right away. This is just anecdotal but most tourists I saw were Chinese so maybe the percentage of non-Chinese tourists isn’t that high.

It's of course better to use DNS, but if you like plain IP addresses you can still memorize them in v6 pretty easily: just memorize your prefix, which in theory is ~ 50-bit but is usually rather regular-shaped and is no harder than a phone numer, and you can use easy to remember numbering g in the rest of the /56 or /48.
I kind of liked the Branagh movie but it suffered from 2 things:

1: I noticed how good the cinematography was - I was not immersed enough to not see how good they were at setting the scene
2: David Suchet nailed Poirot so well it’s impossible for anyone else to even try

I don’t know if anyone else has owned a character as well as Suchet has done Poirot, but I’d love to hear arguments for others!
> If all it took was a software upgrade then IPv6 would be done by now.

Even if the routers were upgradable, there is the problem that IPv4 applications contain hard-coded uses of types like struct sockaddr_in.

In some cases, entire programs are replicated just for IPv6: e.g. ping6, telnet6, ...

These things don't write themselves.

That looks really cool, I would absolutely use this if I was using Twitter. One question: Do you cut the text after precisely 280 chars and then fit the rest in to the next tweet, or did you implement a "smarter" solution (like cutting it at the last space and adding "1/4" to indicate the length of the thread or adding an ellipsis or whatever)?

The reputation of google products being shutdown now preceeds anything they release. It is tarnished, and would never be repaird till they pubically announce that they intend to keep it running (which, of course, they will not).

Therefore, anybody that's not just curious, but is instead going to be invested in using any product of theirs would do well to find an alternative, and invest in finding ways to export to said alternative.

Googles' products can no longer be trusted to remain, and i urge anyone to never rely on it remaining.

>> What's really happening here is that both Apollo and its amazing supporters/investors have witnessed first hand the impact that data graph based technology can have on the lives of developers and the productivity (and bottom line) of companies

It's just a bunch of wealthy people using their money to force their opinions about software development onto as many developers as possible...

I can guarantee that there exists simpler solutions outside of the GraphQL bubble that far exceed what can be achieved with Apollo in terms of both flexibility and productivity. I could share some links if you are genuinely interested.

If those users are so unimportant, why did Apple bother to introduce the Hypervisor framework on macOS? If there's a big, important market for virtualisation on macOS, surely it would be worthwhile to also address that market on iPadOS?

2. Even for the mobile IP case, QUIC only addresses the HTTP client part of it - but HTTP didn't need mobile ip to begin with
So you are using timeouts, you just name them differently.

For recent years I've been using a kind of four-valued logic in my daily thinking: TRUE, FALSE, an UNKNOWN of limited contagiousness, and an INVALID of full contagiousness. I feel estranged somewhat after learning there is no such logic in the most commonly used ones.
I'm happy you asked. So what is your idea with the wall?
Many valued logic arises quite naturally in category theory. If you take usual set theory and change the sets to fibred sets you can easily get a subobject classifier with, e.g., four truth values. However, these don't tell us much about "truth" in the social sense.

Actually, my impression of what category theory has brought to mathematics is that structure itself seems more fundamental than logic; it is as though logic arises because of structure too (and not just the converse of logic leading to structure).
Nevertheless, as a user I would indeed prefer native GUI desktop app talking to their web server for data over a web site.

Perhaps people would develop apps this way if there was a native GUI framework as powerful and easy as web frontend frameworks are and if there was a way to publish you apps a way people could discover and run them in a couple of clicks. Perhaps MS UWP with WPF and Windows Store could do the job much better than web apps but sadly it's not cross-platform.
I think it is the enterprise bug some (most) established SaaS companies who have raised a significant amount of money catch. Having small guys like us pay them $49/mo doesn’t move the needle much but closing 6 figure contracts does. Even outside of Fortune 500 there are plenty of companies that have budgets to spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on something they see as valuable to their business.

I'm surprised that nobody spoke about Portugal. One of most important ingredients in Portuguese cuisine is dried codfish. Note that there isn't codfish in Portuguese waters, it's mostly imported from Norway.

Eating codfish heads is still popular (probably less than decades ago) and it is called caras de bacalhau [0]. Once you try it can easily become one of your favourite dishes. While you can't beat the preconcept you can try bacalhau a bras, the most "easy-going" dried codfish dish [1].

I feel DevOps is similar to Agile. It defines a set of principles from which an organization can derive and implement practices that are most appropriate for them. Once enough organizations implement such practices, it leads to some industry wide best practices and some organization specific practices and that is totally fine in my opinion.
A month ago (https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/05/google-io-...):

”Today we’re announcing another big step: Android development will become increasingly Kotlin-first. Many new Jetpack APIs and features will be offered first in Kotlin. If you’re starting a new project, you should write it in Kotlin”

“Just use Kotlin” doesn’t help for the licensing issue, though, if you keep using Oracle’s JVM.
Considering google cloud's partnership with Unity, probably Unity.
Naturally it was snarky, because having a CLI to be an usable computer is not something that one can generalize and largely proven in the market that consumers don't give a damn about it.

Android certainly not, as regular Linux APIs aren't part of the NDK stable API list, which Termux actually needs to work within the constraints of ISO C, ISO C++ and NDK APIs.

You deploy application once on the web and it can be installed on desktop or mobile device as native app, if user chooses to do so. Or used as webapp in browser.
When installed your app has homescreen/desktop icon, opens in separate window.
And the best thing - you don't need to pack a whole internet browser with your app (Electron) and worry about pushing updates to user - you just update your app on web.
Imagine, that instead of downloading desktop client for Slack, you go to slack.com and click "Install" button.
Current negatives are that PWAs still missing support for advanced features like file system access, but browser developers are already working on it.

Another reason: Even today the energy density of batteries is SUBSTANTIALLY smaller than that of fossil fuels. [0] We frequently see this graph [1] showing how far batteries have come (they have! and we need to keep going) but not understanding this is part of the issue too. [0] is why we need to keep researching, but [0] is why electric was never going to win in the beginning. It is taking very advanced materials to get to pretty decent energy densities and also advanced materials to use electricity more efficiently. Advanced materials that would likely^ not have been invented that far back even if there was a demand.

The US jails journalists and most of our media is self censoring capitalists. Both political parties act in total agreement on lots of things as to give us no choice, and the US has a significant measurable difference between the desires of the people and the legislation we pass.

I really don’t think the US is a great democracy and we are significantly olichargic. On the other hand the Chinese government offers a fair amount of democratic decision making in some ways while squashing it in others. I really do think it’s hard to see one as morally superior than the other. It’s especially hard because I’ve been immersed in pro US propaganda my entire life.
Like most others, I'd step in and say Lobste.rs has fantastic submissions but quite thin in conversation compared to Hacker News, even in highly technical subjects. I suspect that's because you need to ask someone for an invite right now. Maybe they'd be better off just letting your HN account be enough social proof. Or maybe they're happy at that size, how am I to say otherwise?

It's hit and miss, but reddit is kinda nice in that you can subscribe to pretty narrowly focused, well moderated subreddits. I'm only familiar with the case of r/java. You actually get a really weird mix of really low and incredibly high quality posts and discussion. Half of what you get is what I assume are beginner programmers coming out of school or early junior programmers while the other half are \big names\ in Java-land. Like people who work on, design, build and decide what goes into Java 10, 11, 12 etc. I know I'm biased and a bit of an HN snob about it, but that odd mix is part of why I never became a redditor or frequent the technical landscape there.

Two of my great grandfathers bought cars around 1915. One owned a plantation outside of Memphis. And the other a ranch in California. They didn't have electricity.

Not developed by my comment is in 1920 you didn't 'need' a car in cities. Since you had street cars. In rural/small town America cars were really useful but electric cars were a non starter.
