pjmlp is right: life-critical software must be certified to high levels of DO-178C standard. That's always either custom software or some RTOS's that are certified already. Linux couldn't pass DO-178C's high levels, if at all. The INTEGRITY-178B page has the docs and processes listed in bottom right if you want to see them. That's for prior standard, though. New one looks similar.

They probably run Linux in the less-critical stuff on the plane. At one point, they were running some apps on Windows and Linux simultaneously as a reliability technique. I don't know if they still do that.
C++ has bad error messages because of language design. Contemporary C++ compilers are very good at reporting clear error messages about common mistakes, but template heavy code still yields arcane error messages. Templates are untyped, so there is no way to give sensible error messages when defining or instantiating a template. Instead you have to typecheck after template expansion, at which point you are left with an error message about compiler generated code.

There are some proposals which address this (e.g., concepts), but none of them are part of the language standard yet. Concepts in particular made it into the C++20 draft, but they also made it into a draft of the C++17 standard and were ultimately rejected. Somewhat vexingly C++ concepts actually come with the same problems only at the level of concepts instead of at the level of templates.
Here you're blatantly accusing ESR of fraud, which per you "requires an active intent to acquire something of value through misrepresentation", to wit, soliciting money for "attaching his name to things".

Well, a better video title would be "How Starlink Works".

I think it's high time that communications gets disrupted. And this is Elon's brilliance yet again. Targeting the financial industry with a low-latency communications solution will put them on the best possible path to funding this for the masses.

Curious to hear what the biggest technical risks are to this project.

1. libsodium is opensource and better than any closed source replacement

This might be an over simplification, but my understanding was that all browsers on iOS were essentially just reskinned safari. And that is an app store restriction.
There’s still going to be quite a few people with them now. The accrued benefits don’t go away just because the company switches it’s policy.
HTML/CSS was designed to be forward/backward compatible and not to be written only for version of Safari installed on dev's macbook. This is against the spirit of HTML.
There was supposed to be a general strike tomorrow (Monday), but since the government has suspended the legislation, it seems to be called off (I said "seems" because there is no clear leadership in the current protest movement).
Not on Chrome on Windows - could be it falls back to a different player that allows that on other platforms/browsers.
Wow, that sounds really bad. Do you have any examples of cases where people who were in another city got such large sentences?
Not great advice. I personally would ask for a solicitor. He or she will advise appropriately.
The point is that politicians always use the inevitable violence that arises when you have demonstrations to discredit the legitimity of the demonstration.

I'm French and politicians have become very very good at this.
So they're excluding what the government is doing, to argue that the government needs to do something.
I read the title and for a second I thought this article was going to cover the current state of Britain
I've come to like the arrow-function lambda syntax, but that's mostly because it is exactly what C# uses, and I write vastly more lambdas for LINQ and higher-order functions on the back-end than I do in JS.

The only downside is you've got to involve babel to transpile it down to the shitty old browser versions that we need to support, so you go from a simple reload to a webpack or grunt invocation that takes 30 seconds to a couple minutes, depending on how invasive the corporate anti-virus is feeling today.
The damage is done. It will take quite some time for the opinions of the Taiwanese people to change again, if ever.
I find your counter-argument against rem units very weak.

What are cross browser concerns here? Why should he even mention the possibility that someone might "fix" an elements font-size? Sure, the author doesn't explain all of CSS and all of UX/UI in an article focussed on a single issue. That's not a mistake.

Your px recommendation is... strange. The article is one of those "newer" CSS articles that care a lot about responsiveness. You seem not to care. Fine, but I guess you're in the minority there.

Your insult against front-end developers (in both your comments!) is simply childish, and frankly, it seems you just have an axe to grind with the author(s).
Interestingly optimistic. I've been doing my recent retirement calculations with 5% nominal returns. I suppose it's because I'd rather be pleasantly surprised in retirement than starve.
>Not sure why the down votes. Don’t believe?

Sad no one has responded. Yes, we believe you.

Possible reason for the downvotes:

It is well known than on a 10+ year horizon, only about 10% of professionals engaging in active investing outperform the S&P500 index fund. The proportion gets worse when you expand the horizon. The fact that you did well in 2-3 years is simply noise. That you didn't address this indicates a lack of investment knowledge. Everyone has met people like you who do a lot better on some years than the market does.

(note you did not specify how long you've had your portfolio).

A 5 year window is noise. Even a 10 year window is mostly noise. See the plots here:

https://blog.nawaz.org/posts/2015/Dec/pay-down-mortgage-or-i...

So even if I meet someone who beat the market on a 10 year window, it's not particularly impressive.
And also, it is very common to read on HN that you should not google and research your own medical issues but instead listen to your doctor, because they are a trained professional.
Threat Intelligence data storage: make it easy with ArangoDB
OS/2 had an object-oriented GUI (Windows "Cairo" never shipped) and Stardock was a pioneering ISV. They later moved onto Windows games and utilities. Commentary by Stardock CEO, https://www.stardock.com/press/customerreports/stardock2014....

> Over the years, we’ve developed and/or published a lot of software that was “ahead of its time”. Sometimes, too far ahead of its time. :) ... Broadly speaking, Stardock is a bunch of “techies” who have let their hobby get out of control ... most consumers would be shocked if they knew the actual dollars earned by reasonably “popular” iOS and Android games and apps ... Our poorest-selling DLC for PC games generates more income than nearly every iOS or Android developer app we've gotten numbers for ... Start8 will undoubtedly be obsoleted by a future version of Windows as its stunning popularity (over 30 million downloads and counting) makes it clear it was a mistake for Microsoft to get rid of the Start menu in Windows 8. In the meantime, Start8 has been an unexpected boon. If it makes Microsoft feel better, the revenue from Start8 has helped us hire a lot of new developers making new Windows software.

> ... In 1998, the OS/2 market died off. Stardock went from a multimillion dollar business to one that made less than $400,000 in one year. The only reason we survived was because our former OS/2 user base bought Object Desktop for Windows, sight unseen, a year before it would be released. While “Kickstarter” is now common, most of you reading this know that in 1998 just doing credit cards over the Internet was a new thing, let alone giving $50 to a company to make a product that didn’t exist.
Why not consult with a lawyer who will be qualified to advise you appropriately?
All web browsers on iOS are required to use WebKit. I think they’re actually restricted to a webview and don’t really have any control over the underlying WebKit
> I see nothing wrong with this, they are giving users what they want.

You're a very odd bird indeed if you think the vast majority of people want severely-biased search results, and for Google to unfairly leverage their search position to kill competition.
> John Kogut, a Long Island man who after an 18-hour interrogation falsely confessed

How is this not considered torture? How is the confession of a sleep deprived and hence mentally impaired man even valid? Why are the feral cops who interrogated him not in jail for crimes against humanity?

On the other hand, why don't they go a step further? Sharp tools, electricity, hallucinogenic drugs, etc. would go a long way towards getting a confession sooner.
I'm just leaving this on in the background on the home theater PC, and switching back to it from the Roku to check in on things. Truly amazing.

Most of my LaTeX usage (and I suck at it, but still stubbornly stuck with it for the last 5 years) is with Beamer, for technical conference presentations. Besides the inimitable typesetting and the quality of text, nothing comes close to how harmoniously you can meld diagrams (using "TikZ"; which, I admit, has a learning curve) with text when you're using LaTeX. The sheer quality is peerless.

(Not to mention all the additional advantages mentioned by others in this thread. I accept the trade-offs, including the time sink.)

Directly after lambasting the author for failing to elaborate, perhaps you could go into more depth yourself?
Cheap, calorically dense food is widely available and people are less physically active than they used to be. Still, people have lost weight counting calories at McDonald's. It's no fun to be responsible, so don't expect people are eager to follow your advice to eat less, drink less, stop smoking, or wear a condom. Tell them to eat a Tide pod, though, and they'll do it.

Social security benefits are extremely non-linear using from 90% down to 15% of income in each range. It also only considers a limited set of your highest years earnings, which can mess with early estimates.

The minimum benefit for someone who worked 30 years making minimum wage is $872.50 per month, 10.5k/year The maximum benefit is $2,861 per month or 35k/year, for someone who made 140+k for 35 years.

Here's one possible take on the difference of perspective.

There's a distinction to be made in the nature of the output. Feynman's physics work was investigating nature on behalf of humanity. What artists produce is spiritually/intellectually/emotionally edifying for other people. Contrast this with OP's [killing themselves to make a rich banker richer][0], or, say, working on the next addictive mobile game.

This is putting things in the strongest possible light, of course: Feynman also worked on the bomb. Artists can be navel-gazers. And some people break their backs working for a company that is "curing cancer". So it's not black and white.

The "second party" is the user. I don't think any users are writing their own Vulkan drivers.
Indeed and perhaps wrongfully so as well.
I grew up with Civilization, and the first one really was educational! Especially because the copy protection was “answer this question about what it says about this technology on this page of your manual in order to play.” We owned the game, but we had either lost the manual or it was too much trouble to fish it out of the box. I had the text of the technology tree memorized, knew what all the ancient wonders were (although not their history), and got pretty good at tactics/strategy. It’s a shame, really, that the later Civ games did not have the same level of educational value baked in.
The ability to have your simulation code automatically update the data and figures in the manuscript is hugely valuable.

Another neat trick is a latex package called Catchfilebetweentags. This let’s you have a text file with named data fields that you can insert into your document, like when you want to state a parameter that was used in a paragraph. Generating that text file as an artifact of the rest of the data processing means, e.g., that parameters my paper says I used are the ones that I actually used.
I don't know where you're going with this, you haven't given me anything to reply to here, and so I suppose I'll simply stand by what I wrote. I am certainly not accusing anyone of committing a crime.
Yes, there is:

A smaller binary and no external dependencies is more audit-able, has fewer dependencies for bootstrapping itself on a server or a container image.

When you multiply this by the total number of images, this makes a big difference.
Sort of. You have the absolute right to a solicitor before giving a statement. Your solicitor will advise appropriately.
Generally when you write a famous person you hope for but don’t expect a reply.
There are legitimate exceptions (and as I was writing that LLVM was the one that popped into my mind) but they are quite rare in practice if you look at open source as a whole. And Intel's compiler is still significantly better at optimization, as of a couple years ago at least.

Open source sometimes has a manpower advantage, usually when companies are paying for the development, but manpower per se doesn't address the significant expertise advantage of closed source in many areas. Quantity is not a good substitute for quality.
One thing you should remember is that graphs are relational structures. The fancy thing of neo4j is not that it stores graphs (any relational DB can store graphs) but it stores JSON-(like)-Documents and it excels at algorithms for huge graphs (million of nodes and beyond). I doubt that your users will manage such large mind maps.

Therefore, use a traditional DB system and write a GUI to solve (a). Neo4j's admin console isn't meant as a front end the same way Djangos admin GUI is not.
In general it may not mean much. People do plead guilty even when they aren't, for many reasons, and even more so with minorities. In this specific case though we're talking Oberlin students, not some poor kids from the ghetto, already making this less likely, and even worse, while I would not necessarily expect rioting progressive students to make any sort of logical and factual argument, I would expect better from the administration. But interestingly, they also never presented anything based on logic, let alone facts, and never even made the claim that the assailants were coerced to plead guilty, witnesses bribed, investigations botched. They just took the narrative that fits with their ideological view and ran away with it, facts be damned.
I doubt that any of this is even passes by Beijing strategic calculus.

Above protests being violent or non-violent, what concerns Beijing more is them keeping going for that long.

What Beijing truly fears the most is them made look powerless. Pretty much the sole point of propaganda in China is to instill the idea of the state being allpowerful, and omnipotent.

Good question! This is my day job! Builds are looking pretty green!

https://clangbuiltlinux.github.io/

X86_64 required the implementation of ASM goto, which we just shipped. You'll need to build clang from source, but the feature will be in clang-9.0 release. Other arches should build with clang-8 (technically x86_64 will build pre 4.19 kernels) but we shipped pixel 2 kernels w/ clang-4.0 so older Clang's may work depending on your target arch/tree/configs.
A person should confirm the maintenance status of most of these programs by looking at the public interface of whatever source control system is being used.
I guess I’m assuming “economic apocalypse” means “fall of the nation state concept as we know it.” since that is the lynch pin for economic trade.

Business operations as a whole are so reliant on the legal rails, like it or not, they’d have to fail spectacularly to create “economic apocalypse” to my mind.

I forget some people see run of the mill loss of wealth status as akin to loss of life. So perhaps apocalypse to them means going from $100 million in wealth to merely $10 million, but the social foundations that support that wealth largely remain intact
Johan Andersson (then of DICE) was a presenter at Metal's unveiling. Andersson was one of the prime movers for Vulkan and Mantle before it, dating to 2013. Apple was very aware of Mantle/Vulkan while designing Metal, just as Apple was very familiar with CUDA when it released its own ill-fated OpenCL alternative.
yes..?
One application which has impressed me with metal implementation even on low end HW (intel HD 620) is iterm2[1] terminal emulator.

IMO, it is a perfect example of how normal screen drawing if made using HW accelerated API could make a huge difference. This is especially true with low end hardware e.g. if Raspberry Pi (Broadcom/Videocore) had implicit support for OpenGL from the start by default like Apple has done with Metal, there could have been a decent desktop experience which is not possible with current SW rendering on low power CPU.

GPU rendering talk is getting lost with discussions about High end graphics cards or GPGPU computation, but I think Metal has brought back the focus to general screen drawing and judging from how developers like George Nachman (iTerm2) was able to take advantage of it; Apple seems to have done good with it.

Find out what works for you. Calorie counting is a great tool for figuring that out. Jumping on a trend diet and having it fail is a waste of your time, other than learning it didn't work.
I’m never clear in what it means to lose biodiversity. Rainforests are < 10% of the earths land mass but contain a massive proportion of biodiversity. There are many species that live in small segments of a single rainforest. We cut down rainforests all the time. I would assume naively that if we reduce 1% of rainforest area we lose some single digit percent of the earth’s biodiversity.

Reducing biodiversity in other ecosystems would take a lot more effort (not to make it sound like a goal).

It wouldn’t be incorrect to say the earth’s biodiversity is rapidly dropping, purely due to the Amazon. What do we mean?
Don't forget:

- "this has never been studied in a clinical setting"

- "this has been tested in a clinical setting and no differentiation was seen from placebo, but there was an issue with the study that caused that result, but lacking omniscience and epistimic humility we and those who take our findings as gospel are not able to know this is the actual state of affairs, and therefore might mistakenly conclude there is no effect, even though that does not logically follow from these findings"
Gwern has a website https://www.gwern.net
On the topic of rems, when using them for layout, you'd use a body font size rather than the root element's font size to control the size of text in your page.

At that point the root font size exists only as a scaling factor, decoupled from the base font size of content within the page, but allowing the user to control that scaling factor via their browser's global default font size preference. In fact, you could think of the rem as root scaling factor unit rather than root font size unit. (The use of the font size property to set the scaling factor is a quirk of the spec.)

This solves the concern you noted on maintainability, while allowing a user to globally opt into larger or smaller text and correspondingly scaled layout across the web, arguably a win for enabling an element of accessibility by default on any website.
False! Mainline builds cleanly for most arches with clang.
This is something that always discouraged me from applying at your company, even though it sounds amazing. I make 150k at my current position working remotely, but based on your calculator I would only make 80k at Gitlab so almost half. What a joke.

Cary Grant: how 100 acid trips in Tinseltown 'changed my life' (2017)
What? I use rems for everything. The entire point is that it's a relative unit based on the browser's font size... it makes responsive design incredibly easy.

If I have a container with a rem width and margin 0 auto, that element will remain the same relative size as the screen gets smaller and the margin just gets trimmed. Your media queries can then be very simple.

If I used px, I would need a lot of breakpoints that keep changing the px width to fit the screen.

It sounds like you have never used rems or just don't get the idea.
At what point are we able to deliver low resolution video and have the system make up on the fly believable high resolution version of it?
By trying to be more flexible with work, you thought you were getting control of your life. You could come home and take care of the kids while handling a few emails. But you actually arranged it so you ended up out of work because a telemigrant took your job for much less.

I keep thinking about the age-old discussion about why the tech industry doesn't just move away from Silicon Valley to a location with a low cost of living. And the answer usually involves the existence of a critical mass of highly effective potential employees, of a cluster economy. There really are some jobs whose pay rates do not matter. But not all that many. All the rest will sooner or later be vulnerable to global outsourcing/telemigration.
> It depends if you're in the north or the south

As most work is located in the big cities (Madrid, Barcelona, etc.) that is what most people will experience. But, the South or even the countryside is quite different. I agree with you.
