I'm not sure it's really true that the NES represents a single hardware target. There's two families of CPUs (2A03, 2A07) with different clock speeds depending on whether the device is NTSC or PAL, within each family there's a half dozen or more revisions, DRAM controller chips changed frequently causing many interesting variations in how and when the object attribute memory could be read (or not read, as the case may be).

And that's just the NES devices! The Famicoms were different again, there were at least two licensed clones, and dozens of unlicensed clones (if you, eg, wanted your game to sell in Russia, you'd care about being compatible with the Dendy as well as the genuine NES).
>it supports O(1) lookup vs. needing a hierarchical search

Bear in mind that H3 only has 16 levels of resolution, so traversing from top level down to the square-metre level is still a constant time operation i.e. O(16)
Pyramids represent such amazing engineering and such untold suffering. Farming only started 10k years ago and 5k years later we had such an energy and time surplus that we were moving mountains around for our rulers' ego's.

A lot of whippings would have to be handed out for me to move rocks around in the sun.
I've lived in Aarhus and I was quite surprised how small part of Denmark's rail network is electrified, it’s only 642 km of 2560 km (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_Denmark), so almost all long-distance trains run on diesel which is quite remarkable in a country that otherwise has a very green view on the environment.

Most of the long-distance trains are of model IC4, the delivery of these trains took ages and one of the missing trains was found in Libya, Italy’s former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi had given it as a gift to the Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi (http://cphpost.dk/news/international/ic4-train-a-gift-from-b...).
It is complicated, and it depends on the use case. There are roughly three dimensions to what you are optimizing the representation for: presentation, computational geometry, and decomposition (sharding). S2 and H3 are both fundamentally cartography-driven representations, primarily optimizing for presentation. S2 focuses a bit more on sharding and H3 a bit more on computational geometry, there is quite a bit of literature on the tradeoffs of their characteristic designs. If the core application is not presentation driven, such as pure spatiotemporal analytics, neither of these representations are good choices.

Representation systems for geospatial data models is an amazingly deep theoretical rabbit hole. Common systems are almost always optimized for presentation as most were originally designed for cartographic use cases. If you were looking at representation systems optimized for fast, scalable geospatial analytics, for example, you'd use some type of 3-space embedding representation. There is a lot of diversity.
Autoplay enRages me, to the point I re-evaluated my long-standing aversion to Hulu and switched. I went to Netflix years ago for the simple reason that it only played what I asked it to play. Ads are only one of the annoyances I was avoiding, and Netflix has been advertising its own shows at me for a while anyway, so they have really completely abandoned that one massive feature of the experience.
I think they are smart enough to realize that military intervention would blow the lid of this thing domestically and create a huge outrage internationally. The Tienanmen protests was the closest they got to revolution since Mao created the modern China state. The only reason military intervention worked at the time was because they had a local population with an active memory of Mao's oppression and total control of media. Lots of communist regimes collapsed at the time and the Chinese got pretty close as well. They don't want a repeat of that and they have plenty of places across China where they've been working hard on keeping a lid on local unrest.

Hong Kong was in British hands throughout last century and has an active memory of how things used to be before the handover. Also, they remember Tienanmen. There are numerous ties to the outside world in Hong Kong as well as to the rest of China because of family ties, trade, local freedom of press, etc. A military intervention would be impossible to hide domestically. Spin off protests in e.g. Bejing and other Chinese cities are at this point unlikely but not unimaginable if they don't contain this. Even if this doesn't happen, the mere possibility of this might be enough to weaken the current leadership and the fear of that is very much informing current actions. Tienanmen remains a taboo topic in China out of fear of something like this happening again. The last thing they want is this spreading.

They don't fear revolution as much as political leadership change. Xi Ling Ping's grip on leadership is being weakened by this. He and the people he put in positions of power need this to go away. The sooner the better.

So, what I expect is the Chinese finding a creative way to de-escalate this such that Hong Kong goes back to business as usual. It will probably involve a way of sacrificing Carrie Lam, who at this point is the very definition of a lame duck and the focal point of the protests. Speculation of her stepping down has been rampant for weeks. Probably they are slowly coming to the conclusion that keeping her around is not helping the situation. Removing her would allow the protests to calm down and allow business as usual to resume. I imagine business as usual sounds pretty good in Bejing at this point. I'm guessing that as this drags on, they are warming to getting rid of her sooner rather than later. I'd be very surprised if she's still around a month from now.
I'd purchase that first PCB just for the Memphis design on it.

Yeah good luck making your exit with those on your right. I cant believe people think that this would be allowed on the road. You thought one jack-knifed truck on the road was bad wait until the human driver makes a mistake for a platoon.

Do you know a similar service outside US?
I cancelled Netflix when I realized I never used it anymore. There's practically no good third-party content left and the first-party content all seems to come from one particular worldview that I find grating and repulsive.
I disagree this python version is as readable and here’s why. It’s about as many characters but more complex. The Kotlin version performs several distinct actions, each being clear to its purpose. These actions have the same syntax (eg requires less parsing effort). The Python version mixes at least 4 different language syntax/features, being list comprehension, if special form in the list comprehension, keywords, and lambda functions.

On top of the lessened readability, the Kotlin version makes it very easy to add, subtract, or comment out lines/actions which really helps when debugging. The Kotlin version is almost identical in structure to how you’d do it in Rust, Elixir, etc.

The same concept might apply to video content.

Someone hosts a pirated copy of a film somewhere. Does it make everyone who's looking at it a pirate, just because they know the URL?
Astute assessment.
Eh, no one is going to stop using Amazon if Amazon didn't honor 2k camera for $94.

Probably, but people might be disinclined to pay attention to prime day next year. It's definitely lost a lot of its luster now that Amazon mostly hawks their own cheap crap that nobody's that interested in.

Me? I could see this easily being an accident that someone decided to let ride. Maybe they cancel a few orders, but I doubt they'd cancel most or all of them.
I can't tell whether this is a serious question, or not.
"urgent" is obviously false. That would have entailed action weeks ago. I'd say China is drafting a maximally expedient plan to capitalize on the situation in their own sweet time, since the rest of the democratic world is committed to playing corporatist small ball in Hong Kong, but I'm not the editor in charge of creating clickbait titles.
Never seen the show before, but enjoyed the clip - thank you. Very curious how it turned out.
I've had the same situation and reward, but just on a normal non prime day.
If there's a silver lining, you do learn a lot whether you planned to or not (mostly about how much more other people know than you do).

I first dipped my toes into it with the RTL SDRs back when they were first 'discovered'. I got into listening to local police scanners but got tired of chasing peaks in the spectrum. So I learned a little bit about DSP, wrote a couple of little auto-tuner plugins for one of the more popular SDR applications, built a crude audio pipeline to demodulate the p25, but ultimately had a $1200 PC doing a bad job at being a $200 scanner.

I started to pick it apart more when some genius masochist builds an SDR scanner that does all of the above (including multi-vcos), but then snips out the audio files, tags them with the origin and makes them available for the world to listen via a nice clean web ui. Demoralized and defeated I just moved on to tinker with ADS-B.

Geesh, the nerve of some people. :D
I've been using syncthing for a couple of years for sharing files between my various devices. Couldn't recommend it more!

That's a pretty interesting set of data. Even one minute outages of satellites seem to be logged, even though that's probably pretty normal for receivers to have to deal with for other reasons.

Who are the consumers of outage information like this? Or is it simply informational?
So good right? Easier to buy a house now, less competition.

House owners should be happy enough to have the real estate goes straight up those many years. There is an end to it, they need to accept that.

In short, happy after all.
1. Visas aren’t permanent. My best friend renewed his H1B, ran through that renewal, and had to spend a year out of the country to reapply (all while in line for a green card)

That's not really a fair question in an industry in which having the wrong opinions will get you Eiched.

Syncthing is amazing. Have it running on a few machines. It's been Rock solid for the last 6 months. I primarily use it to sync org-mode files on different machines. The client worked great on Android too when I last used it. Syncthing-fork package from f-droid to be exact.
Happen a few years ago at our local Walmart, a solar kit (panel, battery and invertor) for $999.99 was priced at $99.99 - even the cash registers showed that price. I found out about them when one of the guys at work bought two of them. By the time I arrive at the store later that day all the kits were gone and the price was corrected on the store's computer too.
I don't agree with either statement at all but the second statement seems predicated on the first. That is, some people bought in a bubble the Chinese created and they lost their savings when the bubble popped and the Chinese stopped buying. This does not at all resemble the dichotomy of, damned if you do or damned if you dont, like you seem to be implying.

Again I do not agree with either statement even remotely. I haven't done any serious research on the current housing market and dont harbor any feelings or ideas on it.
If anyone wants to use this in R, the h3-r package works quite nicely. It’s in C which, in my tests, is an order of magnitude faster than the v8 implementation. We use it to chop up spatial data into equally sized chunks that we can use as observations for regressions and the like.

Would you like to provide some evidence to the contrary for that or just a general "It's probably not true"?

You could say the same about Western government debt that's creatively accounted, unemployment rates which avoid underemployment/participation and inflation which desperately needs to remain low to keep bond rates from bankrupting public balance sheets.
wow! Quality has a lot to do but also a house no one lives in has a tendency to be run down. A small thing that can be noticed on day one will ruin everything after 3 years of rain, wind, snow etc.

Now their GDP will increase again, if they start repairing the ghost houses ;)

They're at least as cartoonishly villainesque as early Nazi Germany given that they have reeducation camps for minorities they don't like.

Yep - the ONLY feature I want in a streaming service, beyond decent content, is for it to not play things I didn’t ask it to play. Netflix used to be that, but it no longer is.
Is the third-party iOS client working well and trustworthy? Does it hook into the Files app?
Because of the Chinese threat theory/yellow peril, period.
Be happy but be aware of the cascading impacts. Foreign buyers affected the price in valley and elsewhere in big markets, and while you may get cheaper house don't end up causing another subprime. All it needs is one domino to move.

I would prefer lower prices but am not sure it will be happy for all.
I think given China’s population growth, if the GDP doesn’t grow 6%, its considered a recession for them.
Uh...

We're talking about foreign buyers.

We mean "Mexican" buyers as in, actual citizens of Mexico.

Not Mexican buyers as in, "That guy has a funny, spanish sounding last name, he must be Mexican."

We're not talking about Hispanic Americans.
That's nice to see, some of my pessismism may be unfounded then :)

so this is not a technical change but a change of presentation and perception. instead of one person or team having the authority, there is a community notion of who can be trusted.

this does exist. and it seems to happen when authority falls down or is not there to begin with. for example several community builds around distributions for the GPD pocket emerged, and some lived longer than others and some where more reliable than others.

in fact the emergence of linux distributions themselves follows this model. each distribution is packaging applications they did not create, and are hence not the owners of the authoritative builds. and we pick distributions based on which one does the best job.

of course distributions create their own authority on their collection, but the principle remains. they also may easily switch the source for their packages. i do remember a few examples where this has happened.

another area where this can be seen is with binary builds for projects where the original developers only release the source. it's the same dynamic. build your own, or pick a community contributed build by someone else. either way noone gets to use the authoritative builds because they don't exist. (or they exist only for one platform, in which case the situation is limited to those who are on different platforms for which there are no authoritative builds)
(Not a Rustacean yet.)

Are there any circumstances in which this approach can have undesirable behavior, for example if the dependency has to deal with some global state?

This seems like the kind of thing that could create difficult-to-understand problems if Cargo gives you two copies of a dependency only under specific and rare circumstances. (But I'm happy to be proven wrong, and I'm sure the Rust folks have thought this through more carefully than I have.)

If your game only has 10 hours of gameplay, people will complain that it's too short. Then your game gets bad reviews and you don't eat.

So you need to have more gameplay, and that's either through cleverly addictive game mechanics or a ton of expensive to produce content.
They said they have terminated the project Dragonfly. But did they actually stop working on the censored search for China? And why was the statement made by a PR dude Karan Bhatia instead of Ceasar Sengupta who was supposedly in charge of the project?

Take a look around "中國 GDP 灌水", lead to this latest research claim that China's GDP has been misrepresent after 2008.

systemd didn't even learn from pseudo-systemv in this case - from tfa:

"Basically as of now the entropy file saved as /var/lib/systemd/random-seed will not - drumroll - add entropy to the random pool when played back during boot. Actually it will. It will just not be accounted for. So Linux doesn't know. And continues blocking getrandom(). This is obviously different from SysVinit times2 when /var/lib/urandom/random-seed (that you still have lying around on updated systems) made sure the system carried enough entropy over reboot to continue working right after enough of the system was booted."

Intentionally bricking an already sold item so the customer has to return it? There is no way Amazon will implement something even close to that. It’s also probably illegal.
You are literally factually wrong here. “Autoplay” in Netflix’s settings (and help page you linked) refers to playing the next episode when one ends.

The “autoplay” that people are angry about is when you are hovering over a show in the browser and it starts playing the show’s trailer automatically. This “autoplay” cannot be turned off, except by DOM-manipulation in browsers. In particular, I don’t know of any set-top box app that allows you to turn it off.

Well, the article provides some good points why a free market system does not work.

The basis of free markets is that participants act rational and have full knowledge.

America has mostly a free market, so why would you expect otherwise? America doesn’t have a hukou system, nor restrictions on internal residency, so why would they distinguish between residents when buying property?
I'm having trouble understanding implications to answers of these 2 questions when deciding legitimacy of Libra.

To elaborate my confusion:

* Why does choice of a programming language plays a part of deciding such product (a currency platform) is valid? If this is written in now-antagonized programming language (say, JavaScript, PHP etc), does such decision makes the product less legitimate?

* Similar with version/release of a programming language, how does knowing the answer to this question plays a part?

Then either you're a genius who has worked exceptionally hard, or you don't know all that much about most of the items on the list beyond a 'whirlwind tour' type intro.

I don't doubt that someone could touch on most of this stuff, especially in a degree that is heavily specialized to turn out someone exactly like the author or the author's idea of a 'computer science major'. But I'm very sceptical that this enormous list constitutes a reasonable knowledge base for a "computer science major" who is also meant to know some other subjects; we're talking "major", not "quadruple super-specialized CS major". One might even know subjects that aren't just existing as early feed-in service courses for the CS (i.e. the way he discusses physics, maths and statistics).

I certainly can't imagine someone meeting this guys list and uttering the phrase "I majored in CS and biology" or "I majored in CS and economics" or something like that.
...No? What part of my statement gave you that idea?

Just because I believe they should have controls in place, doesn’t mean I approve of any control scheme they may think of— that would be absurdity. For example, I also wouldn’t approve of them hiring thieves to get their erroneously-priced merchandise back.
It seems like they had something that was working - the monolith. Then they read about the new shiny microservice thing. Then changed to that and started to break stuff by "updating" fields from text to uuid and so on. This will not be fixed with events. An "eventlog" can not fix breaking changes like that. Maybe the monolith should be considered again?

Genuinely curious person here. What is the key reason to use photon size instead of wavelenght? To stress the quantifiableness of the radiation being capured by the thermal camera? To be honest it is the first time i've seen photon size semicasually mentioned in a conversation. Then again i only had physics in high school.
