Don't we all think if the accusations were true, Microsoft would have aggressively persued legal action? Remember that guy they sued into oblivion and maybe prison over "rescue discs" for old PCs? Microsoft it notoriously sue happy. Why not here?
I'm sure these people exist but they're the exception rather than the rule. The two biggest industries in SG14, the C++ low latency study group, are games and HFT. In both these areas, D penetration is pretty much zero. And in HFT at least while many features would be nice (especially reflection), I can't imagine it would be anything but a performance hit. Just the fact that the best D implementation for performance is llvm based, and most people do not find that llvm produces assembly as good as gcc or icc, is already an instant global hit.
I never got BSODs, just hangs at start, so I don't have any dumps to look at. I'm also using nVidia (1080 GTX) and it has probably been a few months since I updated drivers, but I've been having the issue I think since at last the 1803 update.

I havent been on the PC for several weeks, so I don't have a link to my feedback. I'll post next time I'm on.
I'm not a lawyer, but if the information is false I don't think you could get dinged for insider trading. The legal approach that's used to prosecute insider trading is basically "theft of secrets".

I think it was this but it could’ve also been some online article.
Why not? I think they could deprecate the interface and replace the implementation with wherever the new thing is (config files?) transparently. Make Visual Studio emit warnings for a version or two, then errors (and LTS the last Visual Studio version that supports it until official EOL).

They're not going to do that because it's not important to them (and the registry is a bit of an icon at this point).
You're ignoring the vast majority of people who aren't aware that it's possible yet would care a great deal if they knew about it. In fact, that's the whole premise behind tracking pixels. It's victim blaming.

Are you saying we should punish those that defecate and urinate on the streets?

What do you mean that allowing this behaviour "does" nothing?
Exactly. I think this debate is kind of outdated, we have tools now to deal with stuff like this. Even the OP argument of the visually impaired doesn’t really matter as long as you set your auto formatted to use block indentation and no alignment (sorry gofmt!). Just use a font face the smooshes the whitespace together if you need small indentation with a large font size, or one that draws it out if you need to exaggerate it.
The problem is that “stepping away” can alone have consequences - for international students the potential downside is massive. I vaguely recall that for some people the visa is terminated essentially the moment that they cease being a student - would you want to be a foreigner in America with an expired visa today? Maybe it’s fine for most, but what if you were a Mexican student - that clearly puts you in line for a concentration camp, would you risk it?

And this kid had already done everything he was meant to, why would they think anything else would work?
At the risk of not adding anything substantive to the discussion, I would just say if I was an engineer working on Windows, I would dial down the arrogance a little bit.
Just a tip - if you want to make statements and have people take you seriously, stick to facts and don't add stupid things like:

> Literally no one wants to read Microsoft code anyway; knowing them, it's probably horrendous.

This added NOTHING to your previous statement, and only served to make me think your acting as a troll and actually worked against everything else you had previously said.

Pity it is implemented in Bluespec Verilog for which the only viable toolchain is still closed source software.
Some unsupported since 2013 toy compilers exist.
Looks like the company behind the Bluespec pivoted to RISC-V implementation.

Bluespec HDL has seen its limelight in 2012 and died due to it being closed source with pricing similarly excessive as other HDL tools.

I remember being excited about the possibilities of a new, paradigm shifting HDL.

Sadly, now it is a fizzled remainder of how to run the good tech into the ground by keeping it closed.

>Glyphosate, which was totally banned by Austria’s parliament on Tuesday, is the world’s most widely used herbicide but there have been growing attempts around the world to stop its use.

There is no ideal “all natural” world. The truth is, you will not be able to feed 7 billion people without using pesticides. With glyphosate, we have a chemical that has seen use for decades in large amounts and even now the case for it actually being harmful to humans is pretty weak. What will happen is that because you need pesticides to support the crop yields necessary for 7 billion people, you will end up with a less well tested pesticide that will end up causing even more problems.
The comment is from one dude in late 2017 - it probably doesn't mean shit.

Like dude is talking about "there is absolutely no way on earth this was written from a clean sheet only from the available public documentation.", but that's not the bar for reverse engineering systems. It is legal (if you do it right anyways) to examine, use, and disassemble software in the process of reverse engineering.
Is there actually any consensus as to whether it does cause cancer, or how much you have to use it for ill effects? All I ever see in these stories are a list of lawsuits in CA (which doesn't count for much, TBH), various places it's been banned "as a precaution", and much rejoicing in the peanut gallery because bad things are happening to Monsanto.
My wife is from Venezia, and I've been there dozens of times in the last few years (despite we live in San Francisco).

On the topic "number of residents", two interesting things:

1) "Comune di Venezia" is the municipality, not the set of islands commonly referred to as Venice, or historical Venice. The number of inhabitants there is higher.

2) There's a pharmacy nearby the Rialto bridge with a display showing how many residents in Venezia: http://www.veneziatoday.it/cronaca/contatore-veneziani.html

I love open-source mods/remakes of legacy games. It requires technical expertise and exceptional patience to build something so large in scale and complexity.

Makes sense. Academics always discount the intelligence of past people.

People seem to naturally pledge loyalty and do favors for each other, it makes sense that “debt” would be a primary medium of exchange.

If anything, barter is more complex than a promise, as without money how do you evaluate the value of a sheep vs a bunch of grain or some service? Is building a wall worth more or less than sex? How do the two match up against the sheep? How do you trade for fractional value?

The big difference innovation was the organized trading of debt and shares of enterprises a couple hundred years ago. The rest is probably been a thing since cavemen.
I'm oddly attracted to quirky software, I've been a Corel Draw Suite user since version 3. My wife loves Wordperfect. So generally this reads like good news, software diversity wise, but KKR is no doubt going to look at some sort of 'pay us annually or it will stop working' scheme which would likely force me to never upgrade again.
Truth is 7 billion people are an exponential bacterial like growth which under natural circumstances should collapse and is instead collapsing the entire planet and the rest of its living population with its tech to sustain its unsustainable growth... and arguments to humanism and capitalism are used to justify its ludicrous behaviour which is completely unnecessary and easily controlled through birth control.

Bring food supply in line with carrying capacity or destroy the planet, scientifically the options are simple, politically while espousing humanist rhetoric like how do we feed the hungry it's impossible.
The patent for Roundup has expired, which is why there are a lot of generic versions of glyphosate also now available. So this isn't really just about Monsanto / Bayer?
To be really sure it would be a good idea to have one person enclose the tablets in the envelopes and a different person to administer them to you.

But I suspect that there might be other factors here that might influence your study design. Mostly because neurotransmitters are super complicated.
No doubt that she is framing her concern from a political context which undermines her very good point: GMO's are scientifically safe but companies like Monsanto need to stop playing shady games to make their point. The overwhelming scientific consensus speaks for itself.

Personally, I prefer hard tabs to spaces. The rationale is simple: every single dev I've worked with has had a separate preference on how many spaces ahould be used for an indent. I've seen 2, 3 and 4 commonly used. If you use hard tabs, every dev can set their editor to their indentation of choice. If you use spaces, that freedom is lost.

I say this as a currently predominantly Python dev, where spaces are encouraged and recommended, but I disagree as stated above.

Currently, I prefer a 2 space indent after previously using a 4 space indent for decades.
https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/11/4/4449
The knee-jerk reaction is almost certainly going to go along the lines of “But you can emulate all of those features with spaces anyways!”

Which is true. But what if my tools don’t all do that? What if doing so makes it harder to work for some reason or another? Users who use this tab emulation will experience all of the downsides that spaces are supposed to avoid, like misaligning justified comments. I think it’s a waste of effort.

All I can say is, I appreciate the Go team’s decision to use tabs. It makes semantic sense, it puts everyone on the same playing field, and it doesn’t require editor support. Even Windows 98 notepad can be used comfortably as a code editor for tabs-based code, if you for some reason wanted to do that. In reality that is not necessary or desired, but it illustrates that this is the path of least resistance.

That web browsers handle tabs poorly is of no concern to me. If it were really a huge problem, pretty much any editor in existence can do a Replace All to get back perfect spaces-indented code.

A EULA might but I’m not positive that is the case. That said, I would expect a business of any size to cover their ass and not bother without a compelling reason.

That said, look at the steps involved.

Person A had the original software in binary form, runs it through a decompiler. The decompiler is not going to reproduce the code precisely, but it will be enough for documentation purposes. They document the functionality in a separate document describing what is happening when the software is run.

Person B receives this document and writes their own code according to what it says. They need not have ever even used the original software or signed a EULA, and then Person A or C or whoever can go on to test compatibility. It is a lot of effort, but the end result is code where no one involved violates any laws. It’s interoperable, and because the code is original, Person B or the Project he works for can claim copyright and license it out on their own terms, in the case of ReactOS, it is an open source license.

Re: Oracle vs Google, this case does make the whole project potentially suspect these days, but if APIs are not copyrightable, then ReactOS should be firmly on the right side of the law. If APIs are copyrightable, then we can expect the Wine project to be taken down alongside ReactOS. More reason to hope Google prevails entirely, regardless of our own personal opinions of them.

Just the opposite for me. I find Sativa to generally lift my mood. I'm more likely to be social, carry on conversations and have interesting thoughts. Compared to Indica, which for me has more of a lazy effect. That may be great for serious pain management, but if I'm laid up my mind is more likely to go in different directions.
Agreed. I would say the same thing coming into America. Even if you are American. I always refuse to fill out the paper while reentering my own damn country, unless I'm travelling with others. But that means I get pushed to secondary every time. Usually only Hispanic and middle eastern people in there. But the border control agents can take and search anything they want. So I say probably do the same for coming into America on the chance they send you to secondary.

There's boring and there's legacy. Legacy is when the hardware is unsupported and doesn't get software/security updates. You don't want to let it become legacy.

The counter-story to yours is running that database on MongoDB in the cloud on a cluster. Instead you'd be having crazy MongoDB issues, data inconsistencies, connectivity issues when the cloud is down, etc etc.

The solution is somewhere in the middle. You can have modern, supported hardware running a LTS Linux and that counts as boring.
Bayer owns Roundup at this point and it appears that Australia (note not Austria) in 2017 deemed that it doesn’t cause cancer... so this seems like a purely political move.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundup_%28herbicide%29
I don't have a strong opinion on this long-running debate, but the example given sounds like a valid argument.

I just changed my VS Code settings to not insert spaces when pressing tab ("editor.insertSpaces": false) and will see how it goes. Being able to change the tab size ("editor.tabSize": 4) already seems like a neat feature that will come in useful.

That the airplanes constantly flying over your home, which you can hear but not see, are actually missiles being lobbed across the world as countries that are not your own duke it out.

Not completely rooted in reality, and you’ll probably calm down as you come down. But now you feel a brief stab of anxiety any time you hear an airplane fly overhead.
The middleware that matters has supported Metal for about two years now.

Removing OpenGL isn't far away, as one of WWDC 2019 talks was exactly how to migrate to Metal from OpenGL, while all Apple frameworks now use Metal by default, although some of them still offer the old OpenGL support as fallback.
> If you use spaces, that freedom is lost.

That freedom isn't lost. As the pro-space camp is wont to point out, you're free to pile on another layer of translation software to revert the translation software that transformed the original tab input to a set of spaces.

And because everybody is using programmable IDEs (or IDEs that have had all possible programs precompiled into them), this translation will be part of your 10MB init config file, and because it's 2019 the translation is guaranteed to work with 100% fidelity. It's seamless!

Also, Google uses spaces, and if it's good enough for them, end of story. No matter that KNF (kernel normal form) for Linux, Solaris, and all the BSDs uses hard tabs, not to mention countless GNU projects. Unix developers aren't accustomed to writing readable, shareable source code that interoperates with a diverse set of tooling.
The mood lifting effects happen with sativa for me too. But if I happen to feel anxiety from it, it will be a short lived bit at the beginning.
Not going to get into the details of the argument (there is a reason tabs vs spaces is considered the prototypical "religious war"), but I do strongly disagree with the way it was argued, and I felt the need to comment because I so frequently see this type of discourse and find it very disheartening. It's what I usually call the "If you disagree with me you want to kill puppies" (or, in this case, "if you disagree with me you hate blind people") form of argument. The author really isn't inviting people to challenge his thinking with his final sentence - I feel like he's instead trying to flat out invalidate other opinions by emphasizing how callous you must be to have them.

FWIW, I believe there are other opinions that are at least worthy of consideration, but I think other commenters have made those points as well.
They won't, unless they've identified a bigger sucker than they are. Private equity & software innovation don't mix.

Pretty much impossible to prove something has no harm generally. Proving non-existence is a fallacy[1]

You can however say that “today there is little evidence”, then offset it by potential costs (in this case food supply).

Well, I guess that just illustrates my point- here, they grow like weeds, and if you pay attention they are everywhere. Which makes them a good choice- here.

You can see something similar in our columbine patch, the native blue varieties have reseeded with great success, & the founders are huge and vivacious. But the non-native varieties are pale, small, droopy, stressed, and have not propagated.

You might be misremembering the numpy.random api, since you appear to only be generating one or two random numbers in your tests.

I get results about 100x slower those of the article's CPU benchmark when using numpy on a 2019 MBP:

python -m timeit -s 'import numpy as np; x = np.zeros(1000000)' -u msec 'np.random.normal(x)'
10 loops, best of 5: 30.9 msec per loop

edit: I'm no python wizard myself, so I'm perfectly willing to believe that there's a better way to generate a random array in numpy than what I'm doing.
If that would work better than pesticides and produce more, farmers would have switched already.

If non-leaded gasoline worked better then leaded gasoline, why didn't the industry switch towards it, before governments around the world banned it?

That's because what works better for the vendors and purchasers of a product may not be what works best for society, as a whole.
