The root of the issue is that, while you can write most of the code in C (but not all), it has to be different for different operating system kernels. It will use different syscall numbers, argument size and order and "extra options" will be different, some kernels will have a more general syscall with options that enable it to be used for a handful of similar standard libc wrapper functions ...

On macOS, you're really supposed to always dynamically link to the libSystem.dylib libc implementation, because the macOS kernel has subtle backwards-incompatible changes in the raw syscall interfaces on every macOS release (maybe even in point-release updates, I'm not sure). Go tried to have its own internal static libc replacement for macOS like it does for Linux, but just a year or two ago Go gave that up, and now dynamically links the macOS libc.
I’m a longtime hiker and backpacker and in addition to treating your shoes, socks, pants, shirt and hat with permethrin, I highly recommend either a light summer weight gaiter treated with permethrin, or at the very least tucking your pants into your socks. Ticks primary (though not only path) is crawling up from your shoes or socks and crawling up your legs inside your pants. Also be sure when you treat your clothing to do so in the shade as UV will break down the wet permethrin so it’s not effective. Also let the saturated clothing dry in the shade. Do not spray near cats or aquatic life. For your exposed skin you can use Picaridin, which is much safer than DEET. DEET by the way will eat up clothing and gear it contacts. You can save $ on permethrin by buying a concentrated bottle and mixing with water in a spray bottle every time you need a new batch. Clothing treated correctly with permethrin at home is supposed to last about 6 washes / weeks.
I think this is to avoid the plentiful 12v adapters that use those sizes, as you could fry the board with a bad PSU. The 5v adapters that do use those more standard sizes are generally 500mA or 1A, which is enough to (unreliably) boot and run the board.
> 11 women say plastic surgeon botched jobs

If I told you that the 3M Company had 2192 lawsuits[1] of all types filed against them in the the last 4 years, what does that tell you? Are they a terrible company getting sued at lot or a incredibly nice company that barely ever gets sued for a company that large?

Plastic surgeons are among the most sued professions. To know whether 11 lawsuits are significant, you'd have to know the rate at which plastic surgeons are sued, how many surgeries this guy did, what period those 11 surgeries represent, and possibly even weight it with the difficulty of the surgeries (because if he's taking on high risk surgeries that other doctors decline, he'll have more failures). Maybe 11 lawsuits in a 4-year period is an excellent track record for someone doing thousands of high-risk surgeries in an ultra-litigious medical specialty.

[1] Completely made up that number.

Apple ignores standards in the first place and opts for a completely closed and proprietary ecosystem wherever possible (see vulkan support and many others).

They're both out to screw you but at least google does a bit of romancing first.
Tall grass is where the tick action is at. Also sitting down in grass, especially when your ankles are exposed (when not tucking in pants legs into socks or not wearing gaiters)
In 1984 Apple figured they could build a better general computer than anyone else, so they launched the Apple MacIntosh

In 2001 they figured they could build a better music player than anyone else, so they launched the iPod

In 2007 they figured they could build a better smartphone than anyone else, so they launched the iPhone

Does Apple really think they can build a better car or self-driving computer than anyone else?
> Some officials feel that the sales violate the spirit of the law and undermine government efforts to pressure Huawei, while others are more supportive because it lightens the blow of the ban for American corporations.

It clearly does violate the spirit of the law and undermines government efforts, potential jeopardizing US national security. However, any corporations that legally circumvent this ban will have a competitive advantage, leading other corporations to follow.

Wow, what is going on with gnu parallel? It also takes 5-7x as long as "xargs -n1 -P#" (debian stretch, i7 CPU 4C/8T). Of course, one GENERALLY runs programs like xargs or parallel where there's nontrivial work to be done by each program invoked, but 10s (my measurement) to 120s (author's) overhead on only 10,000 jobs is pretty severe -- 1 to 12ms.

The discussion in the article is mostly around Micron and Intel and their selling of Semiconductors to Huawei.

Even then though the title is contradicted somewhat by the article...

`American companies may sell technology supporting current Huawei products until mid-August.`

They're not so much side-stepping the ban as they are continuing normal sales after confirming they are allowed to.
Treatment should be customized for each individual. It's quite possible she has more than Lyme. Bartonella, Babesia, and Erlichia are quite common. Mold and metals can also play a role in immune suppression, depending on the HLA genetic SNPs. Treatment approaches include detoxing, strengthening the immunne system and killing bacteria/parasite infestations. Herbal treatments, from Buhner or Cowden (ddg or google those two), or Traditional Chinese Medicine can be very helpful and mostly used in conjunction with western pharmaceuticals.

Some tests to get on a regular basis include: C4a, C3a, TGF-B1, MMP-9. Igenex is the best test lab for Lyme.

It's impossible to install Linux to the preinstalled SSD on any recent Mac, though on this one you can at least add your own additional storage and it probably won't be too hard to get Linux booting off that. Aside from the SSD the hardware seems to be pretty normal stuff that already has Linux drivers.

Though I don't see why anyone would want to pay the rather large price premium of this machine if they're not running MacOS on it.
Use permethrin for clothing and shoes and picaridin for exposed skin. Both should be used always.
"The backdrop: Drive.ai's highlighter-orange vans ferried workers around a business park in Frisco, Tex., and shuttled fans in nearby Arlington to Cowboys games."

This sounds more impressive than the Cruise cars I see with one driver-engineer at the wheel. Has anyone been shuttled in one and can comment on the experience?
Real old news
It kind of sounds like using curiosity as a gatekeeping mechanism. There's also nothing to suggest that someone who isn't curious today can't become more curious as time goes on. Maybe someone writes their first program with `unsafePerformIO` everywhere without understanding how to properly use monadic contexts, but that's likely not where they're going to stop -- that person may go on to properly understanding monads, monad stacks, then MTL, then free monads, etc.

Great things happen when barriers to entry are low, why would you want to make the barriers seem higher (despite the fact they didn't actually change)? You're going to scare off someone who could have contributed a simple driver/client/whatever (the kind of libraries that make thriving ecosystems) that doesn't require any of this type tomfoolery (I use that term jokingly not pejoratively), because they wrote off haskell early.
Its very sad to see personal liberty treated with such contempt in cities like San Francisco.

I have a friend who's 80 year old grandmother was addicted to cigarettes. He wanted to buy her an ecigarette for christmas to help her quit, even though he subtly felt like it may be for naught given her age and how long she had been addicted. I suggested a Juul just because of how easy it is to operate and the high nicotine content, given its targeted toward people trying to quit.

A few months ago he showed me a picture of her "empty pod drawer". She didn't want to throw out the pods because she was hoping there was a way to recycle them. There were probably a hundred. She doesn't smoke anymore.

Maybe, in the worldview of the officials, no one would consume nicotine. That isn't the world we live in; in the world we live in, these city officials are simply indirectly responsible for the premature deaths of thousands of people. Moreover, I don't even know if that's a world we should be idealizing, in the same way I don't know if a world without alcohol or caffeine or tylenol would be more ideal than the one we have. Just to start thinking about it: nicotine is a nootropic, and recreation is definitely great for your productivity and wellbeing. There aren't zero positives to the chemical.

Its mostly just sad to see addiction so continually demonized in our society. We want to point blame, and then push it out of our minds like it doesn't exist. And in the case of these city officials; literally push it out of their city. I can only hope that, one day, the people who run that very strange city start the process of learning to treat other people with the love and care we all deserve.
I think it's because Australia is so rich in mineral deposits, and there's so much momentum behind Australia depending on digging shit up and selling it overseas that politics lacks the will to fight the existing momentum because there's still so much money in it.

If Australia had gotten on front foot and built out more solar / wind / renewables, almost to excess, it would be able to then apply that potentially excess power into either local manufacturing with much lower electricity / energy overheads and / or "exportables" such as hydrogen fuel cells (effectively exporting our free and abundant sunlight).

This technology is under discussion at the moment, so maybe it's not matured to the point of viability even now, but it's not something that's factored into any Australian political speeches about the country's future economic opportunities.

It IS amusing. It provides great insight into the competing priorities of the human condition. Then it becomes depressing.

>So, I assume that recording in public spaces is illegal in general and they make a specific exception to allow dash cams on the conditions mentioned?

The act of recording isn't the problem but the retention of the data records. If you have no need to keep a recording of a day's video for any purposes, then that falls under the provisions of likely being exploited data (e.g.: being used to build a profile of a person's travels throughout the day, week, year, etc.).

In the sense of the allowances, it's about balancing the need of the data's use (e.g.: in car accidents) versus the privacy impacts to other individuals (e.g.: you post your dashcam footage to YouTube and don't obfuscate faces or license plates).

An example of this, pre-GDPR, was when Google was forced to obfuscate faces and license plates in Google Maps for Street View.
MicroCenter is the only good computer store that I know of in Colorado.
Can you clarify what you mean by "The thing is"? Are you saying that's good, bad, or something else?

If a behavior is harmful and we want to stop it, but it's difficult to prove direct damages and therefore civil suits have been ineffective at curbing the behavior, then it seems like a reasonable public policy to impose fines on engaging in the behavior without requiring actual damages be proven in court.

(And if it's easy to innocently accidentally engage in the behavior, it seems reasonable to first issue warnings, and then impose fines if the behavior continues repeatedly.)
Exactly. It's a shorthand. Not a huge fan of google or Trump, but it's just like when he said the "moon" was part of "Mars" the other day. They're part of the same program, obv not the same binary system...

I think delusions like this persist because 1. ppl aren't used to communication on that bureaucratic shorthand. 2. it makes it seem easy like they really nailed someone.
You don’t need to be an internalizer to capture that, though. Just read the tape: the order for 3 shares that got the sub penny price improvement is the retail one.

> But as technology continues to progress, I have no doubt that long term we will not be using coal anymore. But solar has serious problems, the most intractable being the disposal of the solar cells -- they are quite toxic, and no one has figured out what to do with the decommissioned cells -- and we will have a lot of them if solar accounts for a non-trivial share of global electricity output. As in billions would need to be disposed of each year. So I don't think solar is the answer, given current materials.

Source? I find it hard to believe this is a problem given they last decades, I'm not aware of any major problematic materials in solar panels, and the primary alternative is burning coal.
I was also a running start student. I think that it was not a good choice for me. I was not well prepared for the responsibilities of managing my time, and had no desire to think long term. I doubt I'm alone, or even unusual. I know I would have gotten more out of my education had I waited a few years.

I think community college is fantastic, but I'm not so sure about starting so young.
Two of these are much more intense than I would have guessed:

>The fine concerned the proceedings related to the activity of a company which processed the data subjects’ data obtained from publicly available sources, inter alia from the Central Electronic Register and Information on Economic Activity, and processed the data for commercial purposes. The authority verified incompliance with the information obligation in relation to natural persons conducting business activity – entrepreneurs who are currently conducting such activity or have suspended it, as well as entrepreneurs who conducted such activity in the past. The controller fulfilled the information obligation by providing the information required under Art. 14 (1) – (3) of the GDPR only in relation to the persons whose e-mail addresses it had at its disposal. In case of the remaining persons the controller failed to comply with the information obligation – as it explained in the course of the proceedings – due to high operational costs. Therefore, it presented the information clause only on its website. According to the UODO this is not sufficient.

So, basically, only use open source datasets that come with contact information for every subject.

and

>The fine was imposed in relation to a data subject's request for data correction and erasure. NAIH levied a fine against an unnamed financial institution for unlawfully rejecting a customer’s request to have his phone number erased after arguing that it was in the company's legitimate interest to process this data in order to enforce a debt claim against the customer. In its decision, the NAIH emphasised that the customer’s phone number is not necessary for the purpose of debt collection because the creditor can also communicate with the debtor by post. Consequently, keeping the phone number of the debtor was against the principles of data minimisation and purpose limitation. As per the law, the assessed fine was based on 0.025% of the company's annual net revenue.

You can't just retain the database rows pertaining to accounts with current or likely litigation, but must choose the specific fields relevant to the nature of the dispute. Even the companies that successfully implemented propagation of deletion across their systems are probably going to get spanked for this one when some column in some backwater warehouse backup isn't strictly necessary for the precise claims in that account's lawsuit. Wow.

I hope this puts to bed suggestions that others were "overreacting" to GDPR, that there would be anything other than the meanest, most aggressive, most literal application to every case. Maybe this is a good thing! Maybe everyone needs the fear of God put into them. But I hope GDPR boosters who went around minimizing the threat to good-faith actors admit that they were wrong.
I’ve been in a rival company’s car that drives in SF. It was truly amazing. On the short drive it dealt with a garbage bag in the street, a truck driving the wrong way on a one way street, a jaywalker, and a double parked car, all with no issues whatsoever.

I know some cruise guys, and they say it’s a similar experience. They basically run a free, autonomous Uber for employees. They’ll be full in the morning and afternoon and then drive around the city alone midday to build up miles.
Social class divisions. Vaping is seen as lower class. Coffee has always been a white collar stimulant. Weed is becoming more upscale and thus more accepted. Meth and crack are for poor white and black people. Cocaine is for bankers and trendsetters so it tends to have lighter sentences and lenient enforcement. Alcohol depends on the form it takes, wine vs four loko.
I've in the process of switching from gmail to mailfence. What I like about mailfence is it has email, contacts, calendar, and cloud storage, plus it's secure. I'm only beginning the process so I can't yet say they're great, but I'd check them out. Or protonmail, fastmail, and others are good, too.
"I can usually leave on a Saturday at 8am, get to upper North Bay (Novato, etc), crank out a 5+ mile hike, grab lunch, and be back at home by 11:30am without hitting any traffic."

A follow up to this comment... Please, haskell people, read what other people are writing:

> Sorry but this is just crazy. I always wonder if people writing blog posts like that have ever worked in a big company. You need to spend at least 2-3 hours a day doing code reviews and most of the rest you are writing code, which subsequently involves reading the code you wrote yourself and others have written.

> Now we currently use Java here. I worked with other programming languages in companies too, for instance C and C++ which were a nightmare with no equal. Don't get me wrong, when I was in college I just loved creating crazy shit with template metaprogramming and preprocessor metaprogramming. Once you mature out of it, this is just the most craziest thing you could ever do.

These impressions of Haskell are wrong Haskell is not crazy, it's actually insanely reasonable -- so reasonable in fact that it will not let you compile code that is crazy.

This is the message getting lost in crazy type signatures (which admittedly often do cool/useful things if you undertsand them) and overly verbose/complex examples.

> Hello, I am at Amazon. I spend a decent portion of my time working with an in-house Clojure library (not entirely dissimilar to Haskell) which handles some mission critical business logic my team owns.

> It terrifies me. I hate it.

I do not use/encourage use of Clojure any more, and this comparison scares me -- Haskell is not clojure, but it's getting lumped together and this really worries me because it should not be.

Haskell helps you write clear code -- type signatures, pure functions, immutable values, typeclasses, algebraic data types are all tools to make your code clearer and more obviously correct. If this isn't getting across haskell is in trouble/has a big marketing problem.
politics allowed here?
It kind of sounds like using curiosity as a gatekeeping mechanism

I don't know about 'using'. I think it just is one - learning is possible but terribly inefficient in its absence.

There's also nothing to suggest that someone who isn't curious today can't become more curious as time goes on

Very true & thanks for reminding me. That we can & do change (and must leave space for each other to) is one of the drums I like to bang now and then.
