Personally what i want out of shuffle is that once a song has been replayed more than n amount of times, it gets temporily removed from the queue for that session or an amount of time.
You should check out Spyder, included with the Anaconda Python distribution. It includes most of what makes MATLAB a productive IDE. In particular, you can inspect various types of variables (including Pandas tables in a nice grid view) and watch how the contents changes as the code executes.

>PSP was one of the few products that made Windows productive. It loaded quickly, worked smoothly, and the UI was elegant in a way that the PS UI still isn't.

The days of computer with extremely slow HDD, PSP allow me to quickly finish some photo editing and offer more features than most users would ever need. All while PS would still be loading.

Another important point was PSP was way cheaper, and Shareware. I don't even remember any students using PS actually bought it themselves.
I would say what people usually want is "I want my playlist shuffled in a way that feels like variety". But, I don't have any data to back that up ;)

If it literally plays the same progression of music over and over, it's because the randomization is poorly designed. I had an early MP3 player that literally had the same "random" order, to the point where I always knew what song would come next.

In that case, it's because random numbers generated by a computer are pseudorandom, or just generated by the exact same arithmetic sequence. For instance, here's a really bad pseudo-random number generator: Start with 4. Take the last number, divide it by 2, and if it's even add 5. If it goes over 100, subtract 100. (I didn't claim it was good.)

These pseudo-random number generators can be improved by providing a seed number, which means if you give it the same starting point it will generate the exact same sequence, but the key is giving it a random seed. Often programs provide the current time as the seed. My last MP3 player would have been much better if they did that.

Spotify does a much better job with actually randomly shuffling playlists. But the problem with Spotify is if you listen to, say, Wilco radio, it's not adventurous enough and keeps playing the same few songs over and over in random order until you get sick of all of them.

Spotify upped its game with the "daily mix" feature, but yeah, radio stations are kind of crappy right now.

Not on a raidz vdev you can't.

You can't make mirrors out of anything other than existing mirrors or single disk vdevs.

(You _can_ run zpool replace on more disks than the pool redundancy has, assuming you don't need to disconnect the old disks to put the new ones in...running zpool replace on two disks in a four-disk raidz1 is perfectly legal, as long as the old disks are still there.)
They must have changed it since, as they frequently put songs by the same artist right next to each other nowadays.
It has become very easy to hide money today. Shell companies are cheap and readily available. They can be had with functional bank accounts, phony board members, and subsidiaries in countries that don't make it easy to obtain ownership information.

You can enjoy your ill-gotten gains by proxy. Instead of taking a million and buying a house, you happen to find a great deal on a rental. Or find a company willing to loan you the money to buy a Ferrari at 0.9% interest with no repayment date stipulated.

Obviously this raises suspicions, but it provides enough cover to make tackling your case onerous enough that probably only a really determined and well-funded Federal prosecution team will come after you.

Imo, Facebook released its plans in the last minute, so that it can have time to launch before regulator catches up. The later they catch up, the more likely Facebook is going to dominate the market and become harder to roll back the currency.

Facebook is probably aware of government regulators looking to control it more and certainly anxious about voices looking to break it. The Libra coin being established as a pseudonymous crypto-currency in Switzerland will give it some time to figure stuff out.

The ^T command is actually still around in Unix/Linux, but only when the program is reading input using canonical/cooked/non-raw mode. That's pretty uncommon these days, since input tends to be wrapped in readline or similar to allow for editing.

You can test it by running `ed`:

ed scratch.txt
2096
^T
load: 0.57 cmd: ed 74469 waiting 0.00u 0.00s
q

Running `stty -a` lists all of the characters that have special meaning when the TTY driver handles input this way, before the program sees it.

This actually isn't all that strange a failure mode. We have several large ZFS arrays in service and replace 1-2 failed disks every month. About 90% of the time the first warning you get is exactly this - a message from the CAM controller saying it failed a read in the syslog. ZFS nor SMART often notice these until they get pretty bad/frequent. By the time they're bad enough for other software to notice, your pool is performing pretty poorly.

We deal with this by watching for these errors, printing to a log specifically for Icinga to watch for and alert on, and preemptively replace the disks. It would be nice if the other software (ZFS, SMART) would notice these in time to not become severe.

Well having your book collection suddenly deleted is not convenient either...

So, the alternatives:

They mention why Germany had an unusually large amount in the article.
> The latter option values your time at $15 per hour

The original purpose of the nuclear energy program in the US was so they could have any number of facilities able to create nukes at a moment's notice. It was just a happy coincidence that we could also draw power from these reactors.

Nowadays, we have reactor designs that can't be leveraged for weapons manufacturing. But that doesn't mean that other countries won't try the old US strategy.

> A trade ban / embargo is a form of treaty.

This is not at all a treaty. Actual treaties require a 2/3rds approval of the Senate, which has not happened.

It is, at best, on the level of 'executive order', which can (and, IMHO, should) be challenged in court per 'checks and balances'.
I disagree. I think Trump and his team are doing a great job negotiating with assholes and that we're not the biggest offenders in that category. It makes previous administrations look totally incompetent or sold out in comparison. I still hold out hope that the border will be taken more seriously as well and that we can shut down whoever is funding all the human movement designed to undermine Western governments.

Also, Huawei can do business here, all they have to do is remove the Commie spy apparatus built into every device because many of those devices will find their way into sensitive locations and work.

Then I wish the NSA would follow suit! We can have real security and real privacy in our time if we demand it. Trump is very bad on privacy, they want to man-in-the-middle every device. Just say no--say no for the same reason we don't want shitty chicom spy-tech in our gear. We want secure banking and secure comms, we are entitled to that as American citizens. The issue of terrorism, crime, pedos, is always the foot in the door. Don't let them get away with techno-tyranny and turning the US into a jail with no bars.

Where in the law is it required that the government must offer due process in relation to contractual business deals with corporations? Is 'due process' even the correct term for that type of thing? You seem to be conflating the government punishing someone for crimes without due process to convict that person of said crimes.
Yes, absolutely "inline" as identifiers in your code. So many algorithms use subscript or superscript notations, and it's so nice to be able to use names like vₓ or H₀ or χ² or Aᵀ directly.
The U.S. was still at war until 1783. The declaration wouldn't have meant anything if the U.S. had lost. Jefferson was the original author, although it did undergo edits at the behest of Congress.

It's also pretty well established that the document was complete by July 2nd (so the mention about Jefferson going shopping on the 4th is sort of weird) and most of the Congress had signed it then, but not all...so it went into effect July 4th.

The declaration was read in town squares all over the country. It wasn't forgotten about while people were dodging musket fire by red coats. It's sort of a ridiculous assertion.

It's just: war is messy. And the business of laying the foundations for a country afterwards is fraught with risk and uncertainty.

Yeah, as someone who has resisted paying for spotify, I was considering switching when they launched this service.

I make music as a hobby, and I only really use soundcloud as a result, since the barrier to entry to posting on spotify is annoying, and resultingly a pretty decent chunk of the pretty obscure stuff I like isn't on spotify, only soundcloud.

When I go to spotify right now it feels like this weird corporate arm of the archaic record industry that I view as more or less a parasite on musicians in this day and age. It lacks all of the weird community character and fluidity that I want out of a music platform, and I resist it for that reason.

Opening the gates would change the game and let it exist as a real creative community rather than just a soleless distribution platform for corporate artists and their masters.
OpenID still required sites to implement that standard as a relying party so it couldn't be used arbitrarily. It gave you the ability to choose a specific OpenID identity provider to store your account info (including your own), but it didnt get adoption so now it's obsolete.

OpenID Connect is the latest version of OpenID, and it uses OAuth to federate access to other identity providers but sites now have to implement a separate registration for each provider (google, facebook, etc) so what they choose to implement is what you get, and there's no realistic option to use your own.

Hey everyone, newbie to Product Hunt here. This is my current Side Project turned startup, I'm open to feedback. This is it: https://www.mightyforms.com/
I don't agree at all. I think the primary goal of every government funded institution is to promote social welfare - not economic growth. As a physics PhD, I am totally happy if the progress in my field slows down by even 50%, if it means that 50% of the population, who currently are and feel discriminated against, aren't and don't feel that way any more. I will always vote for the political candidate who supports one over the other.

In most (but not all) fields of human intellectual endeavor, we have made progress far beyond needed, that with the right politics and social commitment, every human on this planet can have all their needs and basic wants fulfilled. There is no need to constantly fuel the GDP, only the craft a world in which people can be happy.

I had a manager like that. The bottom line is who he was talking to. Every decision was based on not losing face or winning the current meeting and if that meant affecting earlier decisions, he could roll the current meeting back also, no? Just not now, but later.

The thing which helped him (survive( was that he owned (part of) the company so his decisions could not be questioned easily, same as our president.

If someone wears a kilt or a toga, people here might say to their friend "hey, that person is wearing a kilt/toga". That's about the extent of it. I see people wearing such things semi-frequently and think very little of it. Same with burkas, bathing suits, pretty much everything except "nudity", but even that is acceptable at large events in SF.
> So, for the averaghe person, the European system is likely (almost definitely) better.

I would strongly dispute this. According to the OECD, median household disposable income (adjusted for purchasing power) in the US is $10,000 per year, more than 20% higher than Germany, and $12,000 per year higher than the OECD average.

Health care and educational expenses don’t come close to wiping out that difference for the median person. The median American household has no student loan payment, and spends just a couple of thousand per year on out of pocket health care costs: https://www.kff.org/health-costs/press-release/interactive-c...

> For example, a person with employer coverage earning $50,000 annually spends on average $5,250, or roughly 11% of her income, on health care. This includes $800 per year in out-of-pocket costs, a $1,400 premium contribution, and $3,050 in state and federal taxes to fund health programs.

(The OECD disposable income statistic is after taxes, so the $3,050 in taxes above should be excluded from the comparison.)

The US system is optimized for the top 60%, and further optimized so the middle 40% doesn’t have to pay EU-level taxes to bankroll a safety net for the bottom 40%. It’s optimized at maximizing material comfort for the majority of people who never get seriously ill before they’re eligible for Medicare, as opposed to optimizing for raising the floor for people who get unlucky.
The answer is that people(like OP) who think they want random, really want shuffle. Or randomly choosing from whatever songs have NOT yet played.
That's been key all along - as long as cryptocurrency remains anchored in real currency value for the majority of exchanges, then it will fail to stand on its own, as the cost of transfer to and from BTC will be too steep to warrant.
Sorry but this is simply not true. Derivatives markets can be/is used to hedge risk on the spot market (or take leveraged directional positions). The development of derivatives markets is a natural complement to the spot market, with derivatives markets usually providing a order of magnitude of liquidity compared to spot. If anything, having a liquid derivatives market increases the amount of capital required to manipulate the spot market.

>This type of gambling is already risky on liquid, highly regulated markets.

Risk is always balanced with return. No one is forcing you to trade nor is there any systemic risk. People who take the risk know what they are getting into.

>But doing it on heavily manipulated markets that are currently being propped up by billions of fake dollars is just baffling.

In 1986, some computer graphics researchers in California (namely Conrad Huang, Ken Arnold, and Greg Couch at U. of California, San Francisco, Computer Graphics Lab) wrote a multi-player TTY game called hunt.

The game of hunt is clocked by the arrival of events. So that is to say, the arrival of packets from the game clients into the server drives the game forward. The more furiously people play and the more players there are, the more rapid is the movement of automatic objects, like shots traversing through the maze.

I last played this in 1995. I had a WYSE 50 terminal hooked up to a Linux box and played with a friend. One of us was on the console, one on the terminal.

I remember I had to patch something socket-related in the source code to get it working.
