About two years ago, I had to (sort of accidentally) create a DSL out of JSON that emitted SQL. My first attempt was trying to hack something together with a bunch of arrays and hashmaps, but I realized that since there's no real "limit" to how nested SQL can be, that that wouldn't work. I scrapped what I was working on, and started over, fully utilizing recursion, and it led to substantially shorter code, that didn't perform measurably slower, and let me handle the full SQL spec correctly.

Sadly, I moved off that project, and the person who inherited it didn't understand recursion very well, and rewrote it without recursion, and ended up making it not able to handle the full spec.

Yes and no - a Java Charset is something that can convert from a buffer of bytes to a buffer of utf16 code units. In Java that happens to be the internal representation of a String, but it doesn't have to be - you just need built in support for encoding/decoding a string as utf16.

A simple proof of this is that you can write custom character sets in Python too, even though there's no way to have raw byte access to a Python character (because it's different on different platforms/builds).
I mean, that's being purposefully difficult. Obviously there are places, like a school event, where it is not okay to go hang out.

But why can't you go with a family friend to Chuck-e-Cheese? I'm not saying follow them, obviously. Plan ahead. Why not go with them to hang out while they watch their kids?

Why not accompany the family to the park - if everyone (meaning friend, friend's spouse that sort of thing -
not everyone in the park obviously) knows you're there to hang out with your friend, what's the problem? And you get to play with a kid, which can be fun.
You can?

AFAIK you can change the cursor speed (called "tracking speed") but not the acceleration curve.
No - they placed new markers (orange disks on long spikes) driven flush into the ground, but they were walking around using GPS to do this (with supposedly centimetre precision, which I understand is what GNSS is for). This is in Eastern EU.

> or browsers globally it's 63% that's not a monopoly...

You should look at markets, not globally. Google doesn't have a global monopoly (and likely never will because China, Russia won't allow their web to be controlled by a US company), but it has a monopoly in lots of markets (read: countries).
First time I looked into the viewfinder of a Hassie, I knew it was something special. Ever since, I've wanted one. And I got my chance as a photographer friend of mine simply let me lend his 500CM on a trip to London. That got me some of the best pictures I've ever taken. Finding out that nearly the same model went to the moon was just a bonus.
I wonder if it's even in America's interests to create a weaker Google/Facebook/Amazon/Microsoft. These companies are dominating globally (excluding China) and bring back so much money, jobs, and influence to America. Weakening them might allow real foreign competition to flourish.
If it costs that much you'd think they'd also offer encrypted GPS, too. They'll regret it eventually anyway.
What about naming it A-351 ?

I think most negative comments here are a bit harsh. Of course the analogy has its weak points (every analogy has), but what I took away from it is the following:

- the DNA is not the Internet, but rather the Code (capital C) that governs everything in the "city": the buildings, the football fans, the FIFA, everything - including not only how they behave, but also how they are created.

- CRISPR is not malware, but it's (as the article mentions in passing) a search & replace function that allows you to change the Code, but with the described limitations - the biggest of which is that every "edit" can have any number of unintended consequences.
I like it! Congrats!
This is not the first time an airline rebrands an airplane due fearmongering after an accident.

The Fokker-100 was rebranded as MK-28 in Brazil after an accident (trust reverse deployed after take-off). The news reported every incident with the plane afterward. I remember my parents avoiding flights with Fokker-100. The MK-28, on the other hand, had a very good safety record.

On the one hand, I personally feel that trying to avoid the Maxes specifically, once they are allowed back in service, would be an excess of caution that overemphasizes the legacy of one issue. On the other hand, could they have found a better way of sending the message that they think the problem is passenger perceptions, rather than in systems engineering and adequate pilot training?
Well, the author is an idiot. A search index (as far as the compiled listings of things, not the tech that runs it) would obviously not be covered under this ruling.

Google can't have a monopoly on data gathered from the publicly available internet, that's absurd.
Using Twitter to Predict Stock Market Fluctuations of Automobile Companies
The premise I think is that you're "sharing" the ownership of the car with your neighbors and fellow users. So instead of a model where each person owns their own car, these cars are "shared" between various drivers.

Presumably there's an implied distinction between this model, where people share ownership of their primary car, and the typical rental car model, where people are presumed to be traveling or otherwise renting the car to supplement their existing car ownership.

Not saying it's some brilliant insight, but there is an internal logic to the use of the term.

While it doesn't find it's way into my everyday programming so often, I think recursion does serve a pedagogic purpose if nothing else.

Just like learning a bit of Lisp or Prolog, having the "click" moment when first learning about recursion can be really helpful in building intuitions about programming in general.
The Amazon Arbitrage
Google India – Interview Question
>thing has to go both ways to at least some extent.

That's correct, the problem, in my experience, is that people expect everything to be the same as it was before friend A had a kid. It's called growth and development, and it's healthy for many people.

So expecting them to hang out until 2 am and play video games and drink like you used to is probably not realistic. Maybe, depending on the person.

My point was that if the friendship is important, remember that children aren't a barrier to YOUR needs. That is a human, the care and development of which your friend is personally responsible for. Understand that you may have to hang out with them at a park while their kid plays, rather than in your living room drinking beers.

Does that make sense? I feel like I do a terrible job of explaining myself.

> So the conclusion is that scientist say that perhaps vaccines cause earthquakes? [What is a good answer here?]

Is this a similar comparison to what I've said (or implied), in the slightest? Might your imagination have added a bit of extra color to your reading of the actual words I wrote?

It may be enjoyable to mock lesser intelligent people, but if the intent of pro-vaxxers was purely concern about the prevalence and risk of vaccine misunderstanding throughout society, I would expect more willingness to understand what is really happening within the community you're worried about, and less (apparent) glee at simply telling people they're stupid.

At the end of the day, you will reap what you sow.

One thing shown by modern politics is that you're absolutely correct: Plenty of people in modern society are happy to act (and in particular, vote) in a way that will hurt them as long as they think someone who deserves it will be hurt more. Not to mention that some people simply won't be hurt by things that other people can't handle.
Recyclable stuff make that connected though. Paper can be recycled a bunch of time, plastic too. Sure we can't reuse 100% of what we waste, but any percent is better than none.
I switched to Mac in 2007 and that drove me crazy too. For years I used some app[1] that imitated the Windows acc. curves but even with that it never felt as good as Windows.

Never had that issue with the trackpad though, only with mice.

Not sure when Apple change those, or if I just got used to the Mac curves over the years.

This is disgusting misdirection and frankly feels fraudulent to me.

The definition of fraud is as follows:

Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

What Boeing is doing meets that definition of fraud if you ask me.
Some people's "hobby" is couponing. I doubt they consider the act of digging through papers to find and cut out coupons to be fun, but the act as a whole is. But I guess if you define a hobby strictly as something you do not for pay, you're correct. If you define it more broadly as something you do during non-work time, then it fits.
Not a lawyer, but this seems to be conflating patents with copyrights?

i.e. iOS (especially new versions) would fall under copyright protection [0].

PageRank is a patented technique for search. The patent apparently ran out about 6 weeks ago [0].

While both copyright and patents are intended to protect creators for a certain period of time, copyright protects a specific work and patents protect an idea. Patents should generally expire much more quickly since they cover a much broader topic.

I also realize both systems are completely crippled at the moment, but I'm trying to stick to what they're at least intended to be.

[0]: I'm sure they have tons of patents centered around iOS but this is about protecting the OS itself.

But Ikea misses out on basic blocking and tackling ecommerce items like product descriptions, dimensions, related products in the collection, inventory levels (not always accurate), etc.

Ikea's site has all that product information and more for most of the products in the search listing - but you do have to hover over things to see it.

What is quite interesting is the variation between the product pages between different countries.

US - https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90394559/#/10394...

Japan - https://www.ikea.com/jp/ja/catalog/products/40375134/

UK - https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/songesand-wardrobe-white-903473...

The Japanese site is much more 'rounded' than the US site, and the UK site has most of the information hidden away in an accordion UI. Presumably they've tested and found each variation works best in each region. I'd love to see their metrics.
I see what you mean...and i definitely would NOT want to dissuade you from any such activities in building what you described - the more attention around providing options for tech and non-techs alike is for the best! However, i wonder if part of what you wish for, might already be built? Have you scoured options via the following? https://www.staticgen.com/

If not the whole stack, maybe components and modules might already exist, and you can build upon them? Again, the more options that exist for people to more easily post and host their own content (and in my opinion not beholden to the walled garden silos) is best! In any case, good luck! Cheers!

That seems to be the issue, not the recycling program.

The same truck would still drive arround though if you didn't have recycling program, it will just be a black truck instead of a green one.
Not sure why you were downvoted. Our infrastructure worldwide relies a lot on location data, incl. GPS data.

There is actually an article from the New Yorker answering your question: much less traffic, all planes grounded, no train, etc. [1]

I think the people looking hard for 10x engineers are poor team builders. The thing is a team of two good engineers can be a much more potent combination than one 10x arrogant prick who cant communicate or work in a team.

'Break Google up' would mean you'd have:

* an Office suite / enterprise company (Google Cloud + Docs + Gmail + Business)

* a phone company (Android)

* a search company (Google Search + Advertisement)

* and a media company (Google Play Movies, Music, Books and YouTube)

The names would probably become different in time, but you get the gist.

Amazon and Microsoft could be broken up much the same way, in neat categorical 'silos'. Facebook should be trisected into Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram again.
I have no idea how you would break Apple up without utterly destroying their core principle, vertical integration. There is no way to do what Apple does with MacBooks or iPhones if they don't control the entire stack.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be, I just see no way.
>Despite it being off topic, can we define why those claims are questionable?

Califironia has a law against state and local government displaying name and address of elected officials (and maybe some others?). California counties have decided it's easier to just not show any names on online property taz records than figure out who is an elected official.

Yeah no.

Credit scores, being a composite set of observations of recent financial behavior, are literally the opposite of an immutable genetic characteristic fixed from birth.

Credit scores are far, far, from perfect, but if you have a better way of judging the future actions of a human than compiling a list of their recent actions do speak up.

I agree. I think I have a pretty decent job, but if they stopped paying me I wouldn't show up "just for fun".

Programming on stuff I care about is fun, and for some beautiful moments at work there is overlap of "stuff I care about" and "stuff that is valuable to the business", but most of the time the work is "meh" and I mostly view it as "this is much better to me than most other jobs would be for me".
This should somehow be illegal. Any time where a product is under scrutiny, it should be illegal to change the name the public has been given previously.

Cast Handbook: How to Learn More from Incidents [pdf]
I'm more familiar with the older US GPS system than I am with Galileo, but I can make an informed guess.

GPS satellites broadcast "ephemerides" letting receivers work out where the satellite is - and some other details like clock error and predicted effects of the ionosphere.

You can make a rough prediction of these weeks in advance, but not precisely enough to meet GPS's precision requirements. Up-to-date short term predictions are needed to make things precise enough, so a ground-based 'ground segment' or 'control segment' broadcasts updates to these every 30 minutes or so.

The 'ground segment' is comprised of ~20 monitoring stations (at known locations, measuring the errors on signals from satellites), one 'master control station' that aggregates this data and decides what update to send next, 4 ground antennas that can send that update to the satellite no matter what side of the globe it happens to be on, and a backup MCS.

This is what is meant by "ground infrastructure".

The design of GPS is informed by its cold-war-era-military origins, so there's a backup master control station, and the satellites have an 'Autonav mode' letting them operate for 60 days in even if the entire ground segment has been destroyed.

Assuming the Galileo system has a broadly similar design, you can imagine the criteria for a four-day outage:

* Failure of both the master control station and the backup, in a way that takes more than 4 days to recover from. Maybe their backup control station wasn't fully commissioned yet, wasn't fully redundant, or some IT problem hit both sites at once?

* Discovery of some fault severe enough they felt they had to shut down until it was fixed, and the fix couldn't be rushed out.

* Either satellites have no autonav mode, or it somehow failed (such as due to bad data from the ground segment), or it's imprecise enough they decided pushing people onto GPS was a more responsible option.
Strange Borders
Heh. No doubt.
a top developer is also doing the right decisions in terms of design and architecture of the code

All the top developers I've worked with have been happy to make decisions because they know it's OK to get it wrong. You can change things later. Having the time, resources and authority to make big changes is largely an environmental issue.

I would question the confidence of any developer who claims they make the right call every time. No one does.
