I have the QC25s, they're great. Sound reduction is great when you need it, not too hot, good weight, great sound quality, decent when used as a mike. Plus fold up a bit so you can fit them in laptop bags in a pinch. If you want the noise reduction on all the time though, you'll be switching batteries every few days (easy to do). Wonderful on plane journeys.

I would say it is a modern language or attempts to be one, as it was designed recently, and was able to take lessons from a variety of older languages. Rust and Go are probably the most popular general purpose, good performance modern languages. Swift and TypeScript are also pretty modern.

shitty people exist in any community of large number however they course corrected for that. same with r/politics there exists some shitty people but it's handled via reports and downvotes so the bad stuff falls away from view or is outright removed/banned.

r/technology did a few things to correct for it by posting that sticky, banning users, removing comments, not hiding the downvote and the report buttons so that the community can self police a bit. all of those were not done by /r/t_d. on t_d they had people actually agreeing with those posts/comments and upvoting them.

Like it or not Donald Trump actually is the president of the United States. It's not like this is some fringe forum of weirdos, it's the fan site of the sitting president of a major country. It's also very likely that it played a big role in helping him get elected.

A photo of "any woman"? I think not. All the examples are of female celebrities who are 90% naked in the original photo.

I agree. The higher the non-money relate commitment of getting to a location the fewer people I see. The ones I do see are generally people who have greater respect for where they are. Unfortunately I think that many wonderful places have fallen victim to the "easy to get to" issue.
Great point. We'll have to see if it goes down over the next few weeks. My fear and prediction is this will cause it to go up by dramatically enhancing the censorship lore that r/the_donald has been increasingly invoking for a while now.
Lawyers will not commit malpractice because they would open themselves up to liability and damage their professional reputations.

In contrast, most software devs will code up whatever evil garbage features their bosses tell them to. They don't even have a concept of malpractice. Very rarely, one might quit, but they have no standing to say "no" to their employers and remain employed.

They are kind of 'forced' to do this to compete on the contact-lens-price aggregator sites.

Probably because the parent dislikes Zuck, and the Hitler comparison has gotten too overused in recent times (and Zuck isnt a politician), so Escobar was chosen as an appropriate one. Fully expecting to see that comparison being used against Jeff Bezos soon.

Comparing the amount of intervention the admins would not be a useful indicator of anything except their bias.

As evidence of that bias, consider their curation of r/popular, where they choose what to show.

They actively promote posts from the left and actively hide posts from the right. For example, this 18 hour old Democrat talking point [1] with 10k net upvotes is displayed before numerous posts that received 3x to 8x as many net upvotes in less time.

And extreme left wing subs continue to be featured on r/popular (many brigading and harassing right wing subs) while reddit restricts right wing subs.

I like Rust a lot, and I'm doing a couple of projects in it.

But Rust is an advanced language. In the company I work for, Rust would be a no-go simply because some developers would struggle with it too much.

Go hits a nice sweet spot. You don't need to worry too much about whether something is on the heap or stack, or what the overhead of copying a struct is. It's conducive to incremental "sculpting": You can write a broad, naive implementation where you even wing it a bit with types first, and then slowly fill in detail, refining types (to the extent Go lets you), locking down performance, and so on.

My feeling with Rust is that you start and end with just one level of granularity: You can't really defer the implementation of lifetimes and copying semantics and so on until later; you have to add clone() at the beginning, whereas Go is all copy by default (with the exception of interfaces).

But yes, Rust's enums are much nicer than what Go has.
Sophisticated ISPs hopefully cache that sort of thing.
Has it come up a lot in Go proposals discussions?
Indeed, AMD is finally in a good position after years wandering the desert. That said, this current strong performance is the result of years of R&D, something that would have to be built from the ground up if Apple was to try and replicate it.

I can't help but think there must be some secret benefit to make them pursue such a risky endeavour for something so tangential to their comparative advantage. Apple doesn't sell custom components, they sell consumer experiences. They must be planning on going a completely different direction with iOS to warrant custom processor technology.
Interesting. That’s a lot of water, depending on drought it could also be depleted fairly quickly.

Aside. Wonder why they call percolated rainwater “meteoric” rather than pluvial. Obviously some relation to meteorology, big seems a bit of an odd choice.

Yes, nearly-indiscriminate colossal-scale industrial espionage being funneled to state-controlled companies is NOT a cyber activity in which most nation states engage.

You can only draw conclusions from available data, whether that's one or a dozen data points. Being a single data point doesn't invalidate the study though.

Don't be fooled.. Someone is spot checking the training data against the output at a statistically valid sampling interval.. ML in this case is the data equivalent of a limited liability corp..
You would think that SSR could take care of the problem and not require one to build twice. Most of these frameworks are very opinionated, if they cared about doing the right thing I don't think it would be hard to extend their opinions to make it so that content is tagged in ways that allow the framework to automatically generate the multiple views needed for graceful degradation.
You mean “more” as in higher prices per pound? If so, what cuts?

There were whole video game consoles dedicated to dozens of variations of pong!

http://www.pong-story.com/intro.htm

Different numbers and sizes and layouts of paddles, different goal areas, different sport metaphors, ball speed angle and size, etc. But all essentially pong. Also there were a lot of breakout variants, too.

Pong in a chip:

http://www.pong-story.com/gi.htm

In 1977, TI copied the Executive Games Television Tennis circuits and integrated them into a new chip: the SN76410N. David Winter asked Glen Dash (who designed the Television Tennis) how this came to his attention. His reply was crystal clear: "The Tennis game was absolutely same, so much that it had the same bugs as my original design". The chip added two more games and additional ball english. But 1977 was already too late for releasing a new Ball & Paddle chip except for a very successful company such as General Instruments who could afford the risk and propose new devices to existing clients. Moreover, two much more advanced microprocessor based systems appeared in 1976 and clearly indicated how the home video game would rapidly change: Fairchild's Channel-F and RCA's Studio II. For all thease reasons, the new SN76410N chip was so unsuccessfull that very few systems used it: Tele-Match 3300R, Ricochet Super Pro (model MT-4A), and Venture Electronics Video Sports VS-5.

A high demand job, with travel. She has all my empathy. You seem like a decent and grounded person. I hope you succeed in improving your relationship.

> have I really said something to bring on a fight about feminism?

She may feel that the help she is requesting of you, workout time in this case, would be freely given if the gender roles were reversed. I think this situation always leads to resentment regardless of gender.

It may help to reframe the situation as you both pulling together 'for the family.' She maybe physically leaving and that is a burden, but it is done for a purpose. Reaffirm your common goals and what you each need to be successful. Remember that one relationship is unlikely to be completely satisfying and you may need a parent's meetup, D&D group or tennis buddy.

Counseling is always an option.

> But as I mentioned before, the thought of a slippery slope of sacrifice scares me.

It is scary and exactly the reason you do need to express yourself and your needs. You need you, your family needs you.

The cost of desalination (thermal & reverse osmosis) remains quite prohibitive for most nations due to its high capital and operating cost [1]. Unless the world finds a scientific rationale for doing something of that magnitude (E.g. Pour water in the Sahara to slow down world temperature from rising) or a major resource discovery, it would seem counter-intuitive to desertify it on behalf of 2.5m people [2]. That is not even accounting the unintended consequence such as the Saharan desert feeding the Amazon [3], a place considered the lung of the earth. It would likely be more manageable to have that population become climate refugees.

You are clinically depressed, a persistent form of depression. That's like a force telling you to stay depressed. Because that has become your comfort zone. As another commenter pointed out, this is a problem that lies between your ears.

You can blame everyone from childhood to current trends for the situation you are in now. But for as long as you do not conform, you will feel like you don't belong. And so you will seek an escape, but there are none. So you will be tired. You won't have the energy to stay your own person, so you will be suicidal.

You are not trans as you like to believe. You are a human who wants to constantly fight your environment and not conform. Calling your self trans is just one way of doing that.

So stop fighting. Learn to live. Learn to love yourself. Just as you are. Without changing. Then learn to love those around you. Then the things around you. Then the ideas around you. Hate nothing. That is evil for you.

From the book 7 habits, proactive people love first and then feel love. No medicine or surgery can change that.

Sure but what about sites that are hosted on the GCP? Google will surely log that visit as well and there is no easy way for you to tell.

I think privacy is important, but to a certain extent. I think I am pretty tin foiled when it comes to integrity. I don't use any social networks, I don't publish my images and location to everyone. I use services that encrypt my information like SpiderOak for backups and I use encryption on my disk.

That said, some things ought to be allowed like loading a crappy jquery file from google cdn. Sure they will log that visit, but comon that is just like visiting a GCP site. The same amount of logs can be made from that.

I think you provide some valid points, but I think your fears are a bit too far fetched. I also fear Google and Facebook. I use DuckDuckGo as my main search engine and I try to not use Google products. I don't think you can do so much more than that to be honest.
Brave is doing some of the best anti-Corporatist work in the community right now.
Booking.com seems to take this a step further by including unavailable hotel rooms in search results with a "sold out, just missed it" label superimposed over them. That's pretty much the height of absurdity. It's the online equivalent of a used car salesman. It's really a gross experience. Booking.com unfortunately seems to have a lock on booking in Europe. I would be interested in hearing if and how folks are booking rooms in Europe without them.
lcamtuf (don't know their real name) is an absolute whiz, the write-ups on their website and tools they've built are great.

also, their website is an example of a great, no-BS web design, for the reason that it's one level deep. there's no "articles", "tools", "contact" links adding a further level of indirection and hiding what's on those pages. all content titles and descriptions are in the same area and are all visible at once when the page loads - at a glance, you can see everything their site has to offer, and get an overall idea of their work almost instantly. side note - i don't think we talk enough about how important visual locality is for information design.
It actually does. The desktop website has a permanent setting. Mobile website has the setting, too, but occasionally resets it to Twitter’s “Top tweets” sorting.
I’ve been using the same pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones for the last 6-7 years and aside from needing to replace the ear cups they’ve been excellent. Sound is fantastic and the noise cancellation is genuinely the best I’ve heard. Replacing parts is quite easy and at least in Sydney the people in the Bose outlet are very helpful and friendly. If I was buying again today though I’d quite like something with bluetooth because the wires do get in the way a bit...

From a standstill yes -- the car is slipping the torque converter between disengaged (neutral, idle in a standstill) and first (to actually get going). Exactly the same as a manual, to get moving from a standstill you have to slip the clutch somewhat, and yes your RPMs will go up.

But that doesn't apply when the car is already in gear and in motion. In both an auto and a manual, if you're applying enough brake to prevent the car from accelerating, the engine will never be "revving" to fight your braking. It will only increase speed if your drivetrain speed increases.

I didn't explicitly state it in the above post because I don't want to crap on the parent too much, but the if he was hitting a pedal and the engine was "revving"... he was probably hitting the gas and accelerating.
I agree. I often have to wrestle to get any CAS to give me an expression in the form I want. Another example would be trig expressions, where an expression can be put in terms of A sin(x+B), or a sin(x) + b cos(x). Both are equivalent, but sometimes one is much more useful than another. There's rarely a builtin routine for "convert to exactly the form I want", so I have to code up the conversion myself. But at least SymPy makes that as easy as any other Python coding challenge!
It's Google's fingerprinting for tracking you across the web. It won't actually listen to or play anything, it just opens it up to see if it's there.

They replace other ad network ads with their own ~ads~ crypto currency. They monetize the content of others and don't tell them. If you have a youtube channel, they will swap out ads and collect the ad revenue without telling the channel that they're doing so.

I'm not particularly impressed with their business. In fact I'm pretty disgusted with it.
