Funny, that is one of my metrics to measure the pretentiousness of a work environment and whether or not a company will be a SV flop or not.
In my testing it generated more underpowered than overpowered cards, which was interesting.
Woah, like transfer learning in neural nets.
I don't think he was being sarcastic. systemd came from Red Hat employees. It's now effectively everywhere, even in Debian and derivatives. This is not meant to be a systemd sucks rant, but if a distro is using systemd, and most do, they are using Red Hat-developed software, and a most critical piece at that. Gnome, the usual DE for enterprise Linux installs is heavily tied into systemd now. It goes on and on.
Gary Johnson reached 12% in August 2016. Clinton started running ads against Johnson around this time as well, to prevent him from getting to the 15% mark. Then the Aleppo gaffe happened in September, which effectively killed his remaining chances.

No, there us no way around it.

Either a page requests a linked resource, or not. If it does not, we can assume that it has it cached. We can tell these two outcomes apart.

But we can make tracking much harder by not having the client send an ETag. E.g. the server could send ETags of all page's resources in the initial response, and let the client decide. This assumes that the server knows about all the related resources, about the page structure, etc. This is not unreasonable, but this does special-case HTML, and does complicate the server quite significantly.
Hmm? America has had nominally serious third party candidates for the presidency regularly since the emergence of today’s two major parties 150 years ago.

Heck, the GOP itself began as an ultimately successful third party challenge.

Imagine having to re-issue keys because the beta has been going on for too long, or because you released a new DLC after a year or two. Too much manual labor.
True, me neither. But politics aside, it's the only technical reason, for me. I'd rather switch to iOS and Safari than Android and Chrome, which I will consider.
Just as an added point for my claim that this position is not hypocritical, I consider https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20387298 to be a flaw in the macOS security model, for which the OS deserves blame, and not just an instance of poor app design (although it is clearly that).
I will never ever buy a MacBook Pro if they don't get rid of the TouchBar. The sheer arrogance of Apple to think they know better than their customers infuriates me. I only use a 2018 MacBook Pro because work supplied it, and because my 2015 MacBook battery was dying and the only option the IT department gave me was to upgrade to the 2018 model.

I may simply go back to Windows at home if that's the case, and will use a Windows Laptop at work if possible. Seriously, fuck Apple for this arrogance.
You are correct. There are people working on this, but the best estimates I've seen are that hybrid-electric airliners are ~30-40 years from commercialization and fully electric simply isn't feasible without a fundamental breakthrough in the battery energy-density space.

99%+ of my usage of the touchbar is pressing escape, adjusting screen brightness, speaker volume, or accessing music controls.

All of these worked flawlessly when I had physical keys, but now it's hard to know what I'm pressing without looking, and sometimes the controls become unresponsive to touches or drags.

I'm a programmer/business owner, so perhaps it's useful for other sorts of creative professionals, but it feels like a total gimmick to me.

I applaud Apple's innovative spirit, but the touchbar wasn't useful at launch, it isn't useful now, and they don't seem to have put any effort into making it better. I hope they kill it with the next Macbook pro release and just go the touchscreen route like everyone else.
I recently made my own soap. I rendered tallow from beef suet, mixed in some coconut and olive oils, then saponified it with plain old lye from the hardware store. It's a magical process and it made me appreciate soap a lot more. Now I use it in the shower instead of my trusty old bars of Irish Spring. I wouldn't say it's any better for my skin than the store-bought bars I used before, but it's quite satisfying to use soap I made myself.
Alternatively, liberal democracy was never really so liberal or democratic as it was supposed to be. People look at local suspensions of rights, and see it as fascism, but I feel like the truth is a bit more subtle. It can be fascism. The Nazis extensively used 'exceptions' to persecute their enemies. On the other hand, it's really hard to imagine a functioning capitalist society where all of the rights people have in theory were actually upheld in all cases. Federal or local agencies blithely ignoring the law when it suits them is absolutely not new. The FBI disregard for privacy under Hoover, for example, extended to wiretapping a sitting president. (Also after Hoover, but that's another story).

I think realistically, there's no clear divide between fascism and liberal democracy. People like Orban, Duterte, etc, live in the middle ground. Fascism is what capitalist states do when they are threatened. Sometimes that's on the micro level, when a police officer who's job is basically to harass homeless people is more brutal than strictly required by the job. Sometimes that's on the macro level, when we decide felons shouldn't have voting rights, or that privacy is an alienable and even occasional right.
They're fine if you can sample a large number at the library to find ones that currently work for you. It'd be an inefficient strategy ordering from, say, Amazon, before around the Harry Potter level.
You’re missing the point. “Tech levels” are completely meaningless.

And by the way, it takes way longer than an afternoon to learn how to make a useable stone tool. You are clearly very misinformed about that, which reinforces my argument regarding selective ignorance’s role in grand narratives thinking.

Here's a video lecture by Nate Gilmore I found:

> They tell you that the quire is even faster than a traditional sum while being more precise but reading the associated reference reveals that it only hold with specific hardware which could also be used to use the quire with floats.

Precisely. Once the posit in unpacked they are indistinguishable from a floating point. It is not fair let posit use a massive accumulator while working with a tiny ieee-754 floating point accumulator. Like I said before, the precision of a number represented in binnary64 is greater than posit8. This comparation ignores the biggest advantages of posit: efficient data format.

> (and, arguably, I would love to know that every programmer is aware of a solid implementation of compensated/exact summation/dot-product and uses it when appropriate)

I like the idea of making the accumulator type (quire) accessible to the programmer. I think this brings awareness of the underlying hardware implementation to the average programmer.
And what if they cure cancer and you haven't actually given them opportunities or assistance? Or what if they don't cure cancer? Did you not raise them sufficiently well?
The userland is absolutely not dependent on systemd _at all_. Have a look at Devuan, and you'll see that almost all of the userland remains exactly the same. See: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/433159/34868
Clever but as you can’t analyze cross domain images I don’t think you can use this to track people across the web.
One step forward, two steps back. They're finally getting rid of the horrible butterfly keyboard in favor of a more traditional scissor switch, but they're gonna make damn sure you have a touch bar.
> posits are floating point numbers, thus they cannot replace them

Everyone who reads that who is cognitively typical will understand "floating-point" (which, by the way, needs a dash, if we are going to nitpick) as a nickname for "IEEE 754 floating-point" or "traditional floating-point", rather than an insinuation that posits are, in contrast, fixed-point or something other than floating-point.
Yes, about ten times as low.

What utility did the previous bar have?

Volume changing? Screen brightness? Those are better with the touchbar.

Escape key for vim or whatever? Switch your caps lock with escape! You should have been doing that the whole time!

The actual function keys? I don't use them enough to need them showing up all the time. And an extra key to get them up again is no big deal.

I agree that the touch bar doesn't add a whole lot of utility, but I can't see the argument of it removing any utility.

I like very much the 'over-indexing' terminology. I agree that I may be improperly confusing the ability to write simple code with the ability to solve simple problems.
If there was a viable competitor, I would consider using it. There isn't.
It's not in Devuan. With some community effort - that means _you_ - putting pressure on Debian to reverse their decision, it can go out of Debian, easily.

Didn't he also "disappear" (from the public eye) during a crucial point in the campaign? My memory of this is hazy as I was only 12 at the time, but I recall my father being interested in his candidacy, but then around July or August he withdrew from the campaign. Then re-entered in September or October, so he came across as "flaky".
Pseudoscience? From TFA:

““The earthquakes show up as RF noise because of the electric field lines, now scientifically confirmed to change the way the ionosphere reflects RF,” Schwarz said.

Schwarz has cited an article in the October 2018 edition of Scientific American, which, he says, explains the phenomenon. (See Erik Vance’s “Earthquakes in the sky,” Scientific American, October 2018, p. 44.)“

Ideally, with absolutely no loss of comfort, no extra taxes, while maintaining our current wasteful lifestyles. We can barely get people to sort their trash into plastics/glass/paper before throwing it away and we say stuff like "I just don't see how this [measure that introduces taxes which would make people less likely to book flights] helps". And this is in a place like Hacker News, which is supposed to sort of towards the tail end of the human intelligence distribution.

They could easily make it up by cross selling to Red Hats consulting customers and likewise for Red Hat to IBM customers. They shouldnt have to gut Red Hat to extract additional value from an M&A. Plus other intangibles like access to talent and access to new markets in the future for both sides.

Cost cutting isn’t the only business strategy. Although one that modern (public shareholder driven) businesses became obsessed with since the 1980s.
Again, that's "lifestyle consumption emissions", not total emissions. The poorest 10% make less than $2 per day. Of course they're going to be a rounding error in terms of "lifestyle consumption emissions". And before you get upset about super wealthy people burning lots of fossil fuels, remember that to be in the richest 10%, you only need to have an income above $16k/year.[1] If you make more than $100k/year, you are in the top 0.1%.[2]

No, the United States has an Electoral College for very specific reasons that are just as true today and they were when the Constitution was written. It is a shame that political parties formed in the first place, but George Washington couldn't have his way all the time.

It has nothing to do with the voting. It had a lot to do with the who controlled information. I get the feeling with the internet of today he would have fared quite a bit better (92 was 2 years before Netscape was founded).

I initially got a macbook seven years ago to work at a mobile shop and dabble in iOS. I liked the form factor and the *nix basis, so I've stayed with them a bit.

Between the touch bar (which bothered me enough to downgrade my work laptop to not have it), keyboard problems, and migrating away from their BSD roots, I'm completely done. I don't care if Linux desktop is clunky or bad, at least I can use it on a laptop that doesn't suck.
Point being that if they player has already moved on to other games they may not care, i.e., G2A never find out, and they're numbers are wrong (assuming they're being honest in the first place, which is a big assumption.)

IBM now has control over systemd, and as other users here point out, also pulseaudio, dbus, gnome, wayland, and a significant share of kernel.

IMHO this is a good time for the Debian project to reconsider the decision to rely on systemd. If you also think so, consider letting them know.

That is maybe true for location. In my location (west-mid-west US), the sinks you buy to install in your home mostly have little dents with drainage to be soap-dishes for bar soap. They're pretty standard everywhere.
Had an idea. What if there was a distributed Twitter-like "Protocol" where tweets were posted to the network and were distributed based on the user subscription list? Make it so there was no central control that allowed a user (like Trump) or an organization (like Twitter) to censor any of the messages? It would have a standard API so anyone could write an app or webpage to interact with the network. Make it run on blockchain so messages couldn't be deleted by anyone.

Anyone could run a "node" which would basically be a server that ties into the network and allows a user's app to register subscriptions and post the messages to the network.

I wonder if these increasing influx of fines will become part of how the GDP is calculated eventually. Certainly a revenue stream for governments more and more these days, with issues left to fester and then some law with the ability to capitalise (fine) upon the situation coming into play.

But when you fine a company the customers end up paying, same customers who ended up being the victims of whatever reason the fine was needed in the first place. Sadly I don't see a way of fixing that enpass.
Also, expect more European countries to follow. The Dutch government is intent on doing this too; either on their own, or (preferably) on a European scale.

Right, but the person I replied to said they will now buy from G2A. My comment was specifically a reply to the text I quoted.

I didn't say they should pirate instead of buying from the dev or a legit store, I said why not pirate instead of buying from G2A. Personally, I don't understand why people who can clearly afford it would pirate (or buy from G2A) at all, so I don't exactly condone it, but if they said they would do the exact thing the devs said not to, then why not do the other option that the devs said they'd prefer?

> Why not buy the game the honest way like a decent human being?

I do. I haven't pirated any games since I was a student, about 15 years ago (and have even bought most of the games that I did pirate, since then). I feel like my comment was taken out of context.
I would think there maybe a "command-line" version of GUI design: supply limited default buttons for common options, but allow user customization.

This cites a 2013 paper by Jeffry Lagarias. Lagarias also has a 2001 paper [1] with another elementary equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis.

Let s(n) be the sum of the positive integers that divide n. For example, s(6) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12.

Let H(n) = 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n.

The Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if s(n) < H(n) + exp(H(n)) log(H(n)) for all n > 1.
