No. The whole idea of personal hosting is that for less than $5 a month you can self host all your personal stuff.

Decentralization begins with knowledge, discipline and commitment on the part of individuals, not dependence on commie/SJW organizations with hidden agendas.

The moment you start depending on these kind organizations you will loose your freedoms sooner or later when they begin to attach strings to their support.
You surely must be aware of IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 if you work in that field. These govern automotive software and industrial automation (the later has no domain specific standard). It is easily verified that these standards are adhered to in practice. I worked on IEC 61508 compliant systems. And all these standards require that the tools used for compiling, verifying and testing the software is tested and certified to be correct. This certification is performed by a Notified Body. This is mandated by law for medical systems and the standard procedure for the rest.

This is a major barrier to entry for new programming languages in these markets. Note that I am not saying that improved memory safety wouldn't be useful in embedded software. But the market is so conservative in parts that real uptake is at least a decade or two away.
What's your point?

If I lived in Nevada instead of California I wouldn't have to pay state income tax so by your logic I should just stop paying?

Once companies get big enough they get to arbitrarily choose which sets of laws to follow?

I wonder how many active users an app like this has. It is the type of lovely, well designed Mac app that nearly no one makes anymore, and it’s a pleasure to use. But much like Coda, maybe it is stuck in a workflow that is less common these days.

Do you ask this to know if he's a real guy or an AI or a pseudo for group of persons like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki ?

I know Fabrice a little. He's definitely real, smart and humble.

Visited him at his workplace about ten years ago when he worked at Netgem.

We also have a common friend we visit with spouse and kids, where we discover and discuss new gadgets (physics-based, drones, mechanical puzzles, etc). One day we played with a kind of padlock where the lock procedure implied to move a sort-of 4-direction joystick. The trick was: you could do any number of moves to lock it. It seemed like it allowed to store an arbitrary long sequence of numbers in a finite mechanical system. Fabrice arrived, heard us explain, thought, and said "the mechanics probably implements some sort of hash algorithm". That was the answer.

Seems easy enough... Write whatever code you like, directly in production, but feature flags will be forced to zero (or to just your own test users) until code review passes...

It requires the language to have a bulletproof feature flag system which can't be bypassed, which it seems is the goal.

Another less known method of penis enlargement 5G Male Review comes in the form of penis stretching. This method is very effective as well because it is safer than penis enlargement surgery and can be done in the convenience of your own home. Penis stretching works to increase your penis shaft using cell multiplication which will naturally increase the size of your penis shaft and since the cells multiply and expand that means that the enlargement you experience will be natural. To perform this exercise you will need to keep lubricant handy and will need your hands placed in the proper circle formation so that you can tug your penis at the right angles to create enough tension for the cell multiplication to begin.

Penis enlargement is a big industry with many different types of methods. It is a big industry for good reason because you may want to learn how to increase the size of your penis is that you can satisfy your partner in the bed room. This is a great course of action to take because it shows that you are a thoughtful and courteous lover and are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to give your partner the pleasure she deserves.

Apple only lets you install verified applications by default. Zoom is in the damn AppStore.

The whole point of making the AppStore a walled garden is such that these things don't happen. If an AppStore App can install a server in your machine that remains there and reinstalls the App after it has been deleted, and can be used to spy you via the camera or DDoS you. Then... the AppStore sucks.
A legal framework doesn't help much in the "bankruptcy" case. Unless that legal framework means all IP becomes open source and people can self-host I guess.

One potential solution.Assuming you are in US , get a Google Voice number and change your wife WhatsApp account to that number (Account - Change number). This way she would not lose all her chat history and continue use new number which the person won't know. You route calls from old number in Google voice. So everything will be usual just the person harassing will not have her new number
But out of the maybe dozens of swimmers in the world who have all those resources at their disposal, why is Michael Phelps still better than the others? Inborn talent is a real thing. Spanish soccer clubs have youth academies that operate as boarding schools for children, and have a vested interest in developing the best players, but even one of the best academies like Barcelona will train hundreds of kids for each one who ever makes the first team, and thousands of kids before they ever see another Messi.
Is Kent Dybvig‘s compilers course, known as P523 referred to in the article, still available online? Thanks!
My first experience I put down to bystander effect:

I was giving first-aid to a guy with severe lacerations to his hand/arm and didn't want to leave him (partially panic on my behalf) - in a UK city, albeit a side-road, with shops and people walking past - but needed to call for an ambulance.

Nobody would stop and help:

"Help! I need you to call an ambulance."

and people just carried on walking.

In the end I was able to makeshift a bandage with some clothing and leave the guy sitting on the floor long enough to use the phone in the shop I was working at.

The ambulance, despite having the address and business name, drove past and I ended up running after it down the street ... overall an awful experience and very eye-opening.

My takeaway is that I'd give up much sooner seeking help from others, depressing as that is, and - contrary to my first-aid training - leave the patient and call an ambulance myself.

Aside: I wonder if there's a villager/townie effect too?
Thank you for sharing that, it's pretty interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that it was to maintain compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3.
If you need reliability and long uptime in an embedded device, dynamic memory management is shunned because it is detrimental to both. The probability of fatal memory fragmentation from bad allocation patterns is too high.

Step Out to Help Fight Diabetes

During the fall months, thousands of people across the nation will walk together with friends and family to showcase the courage it takes to live every day with the difficult disease diabetes-type 1, type 2 or gestational. The lives of many thousands of people are made more difficult or shortened by this disease every year.

Every year the American Diabetes Association organizes a nationwide fundraising event called "Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes. With strong support from the local business community across America, including cash sponsorship and corporate teams, Walk to Fight Diabetes raises over $20 million to support the ADA's mission: To prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes

A Red Strider is someone who lives with diabetes who can proudly walk as an individual or create their own team and walk with friends, family and fellow workers. Red Striders show us all the courage it takes to live with the difficult disease. In the larger metropolitan areas hundreds of Red Striders may participate in the Step Out.

Last year more than 100,000 walkers from around the country participated in the Step Out fight against diabetes. Each step they took and every dollar they raised helps the American Diabetes Association provide community based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.

A National Team is formed by a large company or organization that has employees in multiple locations across the country. Last year's participants included Walmart, McKesson, and the Prince Hall Shriners. National Teams raise a minimum of $100,000 through their local employee teams who walk together in their local Step Out event.https://freepdfreview.com/blood-sugar-premier-reviews/
I'm not saying this kind of situation is the norm, but it happens often enough for it to be "a thing".

EDIT: Academic qualifications are also only a small part of what I'm talking about.
Finland has two official languages - Swedish and Finnish, his name suggests he is Swedish to begin with.

It's not uncommon to speak four languages (often C2 in couple of them) in the North Europe, esp. the Baltic region.

Like mentioned by sibling (sakarisson), that particular part is not impressive, the rest - sure
Obligatory and appropriate: https://xkcd.com/1172/ "Every change breaks someones workflow"
Not to belittle the man's other achievements but speaking four languages is pretty normal in Europe, except when you're from the UK.
A perfect decompiler would just do it, but writing the exact inverse of a compilation tool chain would be... Difficult. You would have to have a different decompiler for each version each tiny little difference.

These guys were capable of figuring out and naming what every function did and then rewriting each of them over and over and over to get the original tool chain to output bit for bit the exact same binary as they started with.

Something like taking x-rays of an unknown machine and being able to recreate perfect pixel replicas of the engineering drawings or listening to a piece of music and being able to exactly write out the score.
You can IIRC ping support and ask for a concurrency limit increase, but probably what I would do first is try to segregate lambda deployments and API endpoints (or whatever trigger) by region so that total load is distributed (you get 1000 concurrents per region). Obviously at this point you would also profile your code to optimise function executions.
In the UK we also have the National Star College (an educational establishment for people with disabilities and ABI) which runs two bistros in and near Cheltenham. These have a good reputation, mostly because the quality of the food is really important to them.

IMHO - agile seems to be easy to learn but hard to master. I think we have tons of advanced beginners engaged in a global cargo cult.

Its such wide-spread phenomenon, such that we have an "even more agile" dark manifesto, pointing out the pitfalls in which the agile has fallen (eg. processes & tools) - http://darkagilemanifesto.org/
...and the golden http://programming-motherfucker.com/ that urges us to just cut out the cancer.
And it's serverless, and cloud!
I have been working in some form of agile methodology or another for years and wouldn't have it any other way.

It sounds like you've been working:
- with toxic people; or
- in toxic organisations; or
- in immature agile organisations

If your ways of working are taking away your job satisfaction, you definitely need to raise that up with the team you work in (like in a standup, retro or just during the day). If it doesn't get addressed because the team disagrees, you're in the wrong team. If it doesn't happen because management disagrees, you're in the wrong team.

When I say you're in the wrong team, I don't necessary mean you're wrong or the team is wrong - only that you two are not a good fit for each other.
The really mind-blowing thing here is how the real name of a guy with the handle 'pannenkoek2012' can be 'Scott Buchanan'.
That really doesn't address the point that was raised. It's not that the bot wins through luck and that 10k is too small a sample, it's that a good professional poker player isn't good over 10k hands, they're good over 5 years.

Any good player will have their play analyzed and responded to, so there's a feedback loop there - any good player will have their play analyzed, exploited and will have to re-adjust their strategy to respond to exploitative play. The question is: How does the AI strategy adapt over time to players who know the hand history of the AI strategy. That's an extremely important part of being a top level player. To give you an example - if you watch Daniel Negreanu's vlog about his time at the WSOP he actively talks about changing his strategy in response to his analysis of different players' profiles. This is especially important in Sit & Go where at high stakes you'll have regular grinders who build up reputations - less so in tournaments where you're less likely to meet any given player.

I think the RPi output ports should be equipped with a buffer. It could work just like the buffered output of audio signals, so if you write reasonably quickly, then there will be no loss in the signal. Of course, there will be some latency, but in many applications (including this one), that will not be a problem.
I remember watching this live as it happened, it was fantastic. Reporting requirements of regulated exchanges should make scenarios like these impossible, but Porsche found a loop hole and squeezed the shorts.

Relevant section:

With 12 per cent of the shares outstanding sold short, it was mathematically impossible for every short-seller to buy a share, and therefore close their position.

In other words, half the room were going to be left in a burning building with no way out. A panicked dash for the exit began.

Edit: for context, I was working for a bank at the time, and implemented the procedure that monitored holdings for the limits above/which reporting requirements would be triggered. The rules are quite extensive, and it was an incredible feat to gain control over such a large share of VW stock without violating any of the actual rules.

As another extreme, Turbo Pascal's earlier implementations had only one pass. Just straight from Pascal to binary code with some optimizations too. I wonder what the minimum number of passes could be by today's optimization standards. Two? Three?
I'm always amused about myself regarding my stance on these things. On the one hand I am totally supporting the closure of these loop holes because they are unfair and put ultimately an exaggerated tax load on the working population. Not a goid thing when we are still stuck with a system that provides less work for people due to automation but still relies on taxing work and salaries.
On the other hand I cannot blame companies profiting from them. And it is not just tech giants, every major European corp. is dojng the exact same thing. And if, as an example, grocery chains are not following Amazon's model of just providing services to a selling entity based in a third country I consider that to be their fault. To be honest I have a plan to use Estonia and the Netherlands in something similar if it comes to fruition. Would I fight to keep the loop holes open? No, because I prefer a level playing field. Would I refuse to profit from them as long as they are there in a legal way? Absolutely not, why would I give up an advantage, a legal one non the less, if I don't have to.

And I think the impact isn't even that big for the "abusers". I have the impression that this kind of company is so optimized and thinking in a way that once the tax advantage goes they will still be much more competitive than companies currently not profiting from said loop holes.
You wouldn't believe how much discussion it took to decide that that minor drm_cache.h change really was the right fix for that issue :-)
Hello everyone,
Have you guys heard of this credit repair company that has helped a lot of people in the States ACETEAM? They are absolutely the best and it’s obvious no credit repair companies can fix credit report more perfectly than they do. They helped me remove derogatory items on my report and also paid off my credit card debts. You can also be free from your worries if only you contact them and I’m sure in one week you will have a splendid credit report and your score will be an excellent score of 800 plus. You can reach them via email aceteamcredit at GMAIL dot COM.

That seems like the right way to do it, but this piece in the article is a bit unclear:

> Now taking a look at the duties of the PWM signal we need to send, we can approximate the highs and lows to some multiple of 1/3. This means that if we run a MOSI SPI signal at triple the frequency the lights expect, then we can send a single WS2812b "panel bit" using a combination of 3 SPI bits.
Line number information is usually passed down the chain because it's required for generating debug info anyway.

However, as you descend into deeper optimization layers of the compiler, errors are less and less likely to occur. Optimizations are either possible or not, though sometimes these layers can warn you about possible inefficiencies at the source code level (unused local, etc.)
In short Włodkowic argumented at 'International Tribunal' during the 1414 Concil of Constance that Teutonic Order cannot justify it's violence and conquest of neighbours just because they are pagans. That was some years before Columbus..

At that time it was customary for European knights to come as guest to Prussia and take part in military expeditions against pagans as a sort of hunting excercise (razzia).

One of the more famous guests was Henry IV Tudor.

If Microsoft compares the data from GitHub to their own U2F data, they don't learn anything about whether GitHub users are also live.com users from that data, none of it correlates.
