ROS 2 Command Line Interface
You basically design a material that is "black" (good absorber-emitter, conversely: bad reflector) in the infrared window[0] and "white" (good reflector/bad absorber-emitter) in the ranges where the bulk of the incoming radiation is.

That way you maximize the amount of energy it can shed and minimize the amount it absorbs. You're not cheating thermodynamics, you're just doing better than for example titanium dioxide paint or metal foil normally do because those also reflect as much sunlight as possible but at the cost of of not shedding heat through IR radiation.

Well done guys; your efforts are really appreciated. I use LaTeX for everything usually through Rnw files so that I can embed R all over the place. For me, I think some amount of literate programming functionality would be essential before I could do much with this.

Does it support different types of layouts, and the sort of type-setting flexibility one might be used to with LaTeX?
No, they experienced a power outage which has ruined every chip that was currently at any point in the pipeline. The realization would be immediately (as soon as the power goes out).

This is why Stephen Hawking was very vocal against machine learning. Everything we know today came from a long process of study and documentation. Machine learning can give you accurate predictions, but its contribution to the scientific process is questionable. Just like mathematical “proofs” by brute force are interesting, but don’t add much to our understanding of the underlying problem.

I don’t think your first citation actually proves humans can live without gut microbiota. I simply don’t see evidence that’s the case and it would be very very difficult to demonstrate.

In most cases humans with severely disrupted gut microbiota (diminished populations) end up in severe pain and health complications.

I sincerely doubt a human could live on mars without a gut microbiota (or anywhere for that matter); we’re actually not just simple systems that require only basic inputs to function.
Why would anyone controlling such an aircraft deliberately take it to a hovering position above 100 feet of people who have never seen it before? Aren't these flight tests supposed to happen away from public's view? It looks as if on one hand, the government wants to keep a tight lid on these things, on the other hand, they want to give it all away so easily (based on stories such as yours), which makes no sense. I will be a skeptic until the day I can get to lick the surface of such a craft.
Unfortunately, disrupting the test is the same as failing it. Typically, subjects are expected to pass it to avoid negative consequences.

I once went through a polygraph and used my meditative breathing techniques to calm my mind, and failed the test because I was "controlling my breath".

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who had less than 3 chat apps, and I can’t really relate to not remembering which contacts use which apps.

Especially when the alternative is supporting an evil corporation that violate people’s privacy.

“One of the big picture questions we have is just how a distributed nervous system would work, especially when it’s trying to do something complicated, like move through fluid and find food on a complex ocean floor. There are a lot of open questions about how these nodes in the nervous system are connected to each other,” said David Gire, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington and Sivitilli’s advisor for the project.

Given the success of modeling artificial neural networks after biological ones, I wonder if the results of this research will inform future development of distributed artificial neural networks.

Why Most Unit Testing is Waste 4 architecture and code comprehension along with it. Test at a coarser level of granularity.

This is very much in line with DHH's opinion about testing in general (the discussion "TDD is dead" is about this). He said that he doesn't want to split logic for the sake of testing, so HE drives the design NOT tests. I very much agree with this. I think a human can design better code (meaning that's easier to use, so easier to consume by other humans) than any automated process (like TDD).

Mine (bought a bit more than a year ago) got one random SEGV in maybe 5,000,000 processes when all threads are busy. That's a lot if you are doing full Yocto builds starting 3,000,000 processes each. And maybe one lock-up per month even without heavy load. Not sure whether there is only 1 problem or several of them. A year of kernel updates and one AGESA update promising to fix random freeze has never made any change. I returned my CPU for replacement this week, not sure whether I'll get a new one.

Sounds like California has a much nicer market than we do in Ohio. I had one provider to choose from in the Marketplace for my county in 2019. Their "Silver" plan was what we had in 2018, chosen over the "Bronze" because the lower-priced "Bronze" was 20% co-insurance on inpatient care versus 100% coverage after deductible on "Siler". Aside from that company's plans those who purchased on the Marketplace in my county for 2019 had no other choices.

The advantage of "Sign-in with Apple" being interoperable means that networks of relying parties (e.g., national research and education networks) can readily provide Apple customers access to high-integrity services. Both kinds of LOA—identity proofing and identity binding—are really difficult to do without secure hardware, and it could drive Apple product sales if they make LOA easy to do with their stuff (like TouchID or FaceID).

Not all forms of testing consist of separate test suites like unit tests. Assertions, contracts, encoding constraints in elaborate type systems and having them checked at compile time are also ways of coding repeatable tests.

And if it's some poorly coded legacy application or something that's mostly wrapping a proprietary black box, working around other peoples bugs, and things like that then system or integration tests may be easier than attempting to mock a gordian knot's tangles.

Unit tests work best for properly encapsulated pieces of code, utility classes, libraries and such.

> the code needs to be tested anyway. If you don't test it, you are just an idiot who has no proof that the code does what it claims to do

First, in most cases you're going to test your code manually anyway- whether you write unit tests or not. So writing unit tests is just in addition to the time already spent testing manually.

But most importantly, unit tests often do very little to prove "your code actually does what it claims to do". They prove you have tested some cases, that's all. In many occasions, the code under test doesn't even "claim" to do anything in particular: the claim is that you're delivering a feature, not pieces of code that behave as expected. All your code fragments can behave exactly as expected and still the feature might be broken, or miss implicit requirements, or ill conceived.

Finally, unit tests as documentation are disastrous, as they document only details of specific implementations, as opposed to the feature you're expected to deliver. Good comments are a hundred times better that tests in that respect.
Engineering Students Built a Special Pen Just for Cheating on Tests
It's been a while since I brushed up my physics, but that's not how it used to work, IIRC. Every body (in the physics sense) radiates heat, and that's independent of the incident energy. When the incident energy is more than the radiated energy, there is net energy transfer into the body leading to temperature rise.

"That doesn't make any sense, once Iran has agreed to cooperate with the inspectors."

In the scenario we're talking about, Iran is cheating. Of course they'd want to hide it and claim to the populace they're just being persecuted.

"If you truly don't want that, support denuclearization of Israel."

Well, Israel has had it since the 1960s, without an arms race. Apparently neighbours are not so concerned, but with Iran involved, Saudi has already taken steps to build a reactor. Also, Iranian development can hardly be considered defensive when they are the ones threatening Israel and not the other way around.

"This is pretty rich coming from the U.S., which has literally no business on the other side of the planet."

The same argument could (and has) been used to ask US to let Europe go, first to the Germans, and then to the Commies. It's a bit rich hearing it from a continent which has profited so much from US involvement.
I think the point is another: TeXmacs is a structured editor so you work a bit differently wrt to a standard ASCII editor and if you try to force your previous workflow on it it will feel clumsy. Is a radically different sofware which requires some time to be understood and appreciated (I know because it happened to me). Give it a try when you have some time to spend. Working in a WYSIWYG environment, especially when doing math, means that you can really do things differently, for example do computations or research direclty on the screen, or take directly notes from a seminar in a form which will be as good as it can get. I'm an experienced LaTeX user and currently I touch LaTeX code only when I have to send document to editors for typesetting.

I had to do nothing out of the box to have a working PRIME setup on my work laptop over a year ago, and I'd never used a laptop with discrete graphics prior. My only driver issue was with DisplayLink (proprietary), where I had to pin xorg because it wasn't compatible with 1.19.

Olkiluoto (Finland)

> In May 2006, construction delays of about one year were announced, following quality control problems across the construction. In part the delays were due to the lack of oversight of subcontractors inexperienced in nuclear construction.

> At the end of June 2007, it was reported that Säteilyturvakeskus (STUK), the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, had found a number of safety-related design and manufacturing 'deficiencies'.

> Initial cost estimates were about €3.7 billion, but the project has since seen several severe cost increments and delays, with latest cost estimates (from 2012) of more than €8 billion.

Flamanville (France)

> In April 2008, the French nuclear safety agency (Autorité de sûreté nucléaire, ASN) reported that a quarter of the welds inspected in the secondary containment steel liner are not in accordance with norms, and that cracks have been found in the concrete base.

> In April 2015, Areva informed the French nuclear regulator ASN that anomalies had been detected in the reactor vessel steel, causing "lower than expected mechanical toughness values". Further tests are underway.[64] In July 2015 The Daily Telegraph reported that Areva had been aware of this problem since 2006.[65] In June 2015, multiple faults in cooling system safety valves were discovered by ASN.

These are public murals. They're on giant walls hundreds or thousands of community members must walk by daily (the kids don't even have a choice). I don't think it's too much to demand that public art not be... y'know, wildly racist.

It's not like we're outlawing private galleries or burning books here. This stuff really is offensive, and "historical context" only goes so far.

Sure, that is indeed one explanation. However it would be an incorrect one by all accounts. The US just historically had a lot more smaller banks (more competition) and a lot less banking regulations than the EU. They don't have to look too hard at their customers, so they don't, and (I think, correctly) realize that they can simply write off the fraud with increased profits.

And the best bit is that when they make a mistake they can just say: "sorry, your 'identity' has been stolen! Now you have to deal with it :)" rather than admit they allowed someone with a wig and a fake mustache to take out a loan in your name based on a set of completely, and obviously, fraudulent documents.

At the consumer side, signing for a payment or using a cheque is completely ridiculous, and the USA is decades behind EMV rollout compared to the rest of the world (let alone contactless payments).

By a few metrics the USA has the 3rd highest rate of card fraud, behind Mexico and Brazil, and the USA accounts for nearly 40% of the $21 billion worldwide total of card fraud.

Just as a data point, I used to take notes in class with this software (essentially blackboard after blackboard of math expressions). It is possible to type extremely fast with it and thanks to copy/paste/modify you can actually go faster than the lecturer. The wysiwym display is also critical to check for transcription mistakes in real time.

I was also using the software to do my own derivations. My handwriting is pretty bad so I actually preferred that to using a physical notebook.

Finally I did the typesetting of my whole PhD thesis with it. I had to split it in multiple files because at the type it would be very slow on very long and complex document but apart from that the result looked very nice.

As an aside, and this is just personal opinion, I always felt the love of latex in the scientific community is some sort of Stockholm syndrome. There is no arguing about the fact that latex is better than word for any serious writing and that the output is normally beautiful (if one chooses the right style, probably CV are the common exception) but the input method (let alone the conglomerate of tools/libraries around it) can be greatly improved. If latex notation is so good why then nobody uses it to write math on a blackboard? :) Texmacs (and lyx ) really bring something new to the table. What I think still remains to be solved is the topping to create new templates, right now it is a bit like working with raw css/html. I’m pretty sure something more intuitive could be built, something like the developer tools of chrome would already help.
