It's easy to forget but acting and filming are actually art forms and
Hollywood once excelled at them.

You won't see any evidence of that in the modern blockbuster, though. I
remember a scene in one of the Iron Man movies (or perhaps the Avengers?)
where Iron Man is fighting the Hulk. Scenes of the fight are interrupted by
scenes where we see Tony Stark's face against a dark background- encased in
his helmet, with the armour's HUD superimposed. It's a clever trick. The point
though is not to create a dramatic effect. It's to maximise Robert Downey Jr's
face time.

When I was younger I was always on the lookout for "videoclip-like" directing.
For instance, I was crazy about a French movie called Dobermann [1] that goes
like a cheetah on speed and doesn't stop to take names. I was obsessed with
portrayals of action and violence, the faster the better.

But there is power in standing still. There is power in silence, in saying
nothing, in showing nothing. I was shown that in the movies of masters [2]
[3]. Perhaps I've grown up in the process.

Here in Italy we are given a Codice Fiscale at birth, which is a string of 13 characters derived by 3 letters of the last name, 3 letters of the first name (usually these 6 letters are all consonants, but there are exceptions for names like Anna), 2 digits, a letter and two other digits representing the birth day, one letter and the digits representing the birthplace an one last letter which is a checksum.

These are state-issued so in case of people that share all those characteristics there's a system in place which changes just one character and gives a different result.

Every contract I signed and every interaction with the government required this information, so the kind of mishaps you talk about are not that common here (at least to my knowledge). Also, different from US social security numbers, this is not used as the only credential for important services, so keeping it secret is not needed (also, it can be manually derived in most cases, indeed you know the needed data. The algorithm is public).

One other thing that avoids confusion is that father and son can't legally have the same name.

I can imagine it’s very easy to scan the users photos for anything potentially of value and just steal that. Looking for skin tones would allow the theft of potentially sensitive images with low bandwidth and time budgets. Yahoo and others already have pornography detection suites for things like public forums. It should really be the only option for 99% of apps.

The picker upload isn’t used much because app developers want to add their own chrome to image selection.
Thats kinda my point, the shared type certificate is most of the justification for the airplane to exist, Boeing would rather build a whole new small aircraft, people who fly on them would rather fly on a whole new aircraft - airlines however strongly prefer something that costs as little as possible to put into service - and has commonality with existing fleets, which means not a whole new aircraft.

I bet if you offered Delta some brand new MD-95's they'd take up on them, as they have basically every MD-95 produced.

There is something badly broken with your process for denormalization if you think bespoke endpoints are more work than GraphQL. Presumably you have to denormalize for many internal uses, as well as external ones, so it pays to automate that process till it is both flexible and easily configured and automatic.
Sure it's not a new concept. But on the web graphQL is the most prominent implementation of that concept.

You can roll your own version of the concept, but why bother when a perfectly serviceable one already exists? With already written client & server implementations in your language of choice?
Wasn’t aware the compute power was low on the 737. Interested if you have some more info?

Always thought they would spec a substantially more processing capability than required. I understand economics are a factor but surely it’s not through necessity to save power?

Imho, articles like these would benefit very much from an example of the output.
BIRD is not just BGP daemon, it also support OSPF, RIP and Babel routing protocols.
A lot of people in the US just don't like the idea of a central national database that stores information about them. To be sure, this (increasingly) happens at some level anyway. And to a lot of people in, say, Europe this probably seems like a baffling concern. But it's the way it is.
This person's post is frightful and despotic but true.
I think you grossly overestimate the general public, and their ability to pay attention, or care. The 737MAX isnt the first aircraft to have an issue like this - and they kept flying them.

Ah, nothing says "Gigabit Ethernet Routing" like a iPhone 3G processor.
> [other types of APIs] has been around for decades

GraphQL is indeed not a new invention. It's a standardisation of existing ideas, that has been given a particular name, and a whole community of people who are building tooling around it.

If you tell me you are using/implementing GraphQL then I immediately know what to expect. I know which tools I can use, I know you have a schema, I know I can run queries and the syntax of those etc. But if you tell me that you are using a REST/HATEOAS/RPC with some particular query syntax then I first have to spend a day reading through the documentation to understand the API.
As someone who was also unclear as to its purpose, I found their explanation in the User Guide, under Section 1.1 "What is BIRD" [0] very informative and approachable.

Also the lower interest rates have caused housing prices to increase causing the younger generations to live with their parents longer.

Owning a car is perceived to kill the planet.

So what do you do when you're not saving up for a house or a car?

It appears those iPhones, MacBooks and other shiny tech devices are the new status symbols of the younger generations.

Are people buying more expensive phones? Or has it just become the cheaper alternative for owning a laptop or desktop?
Since it seems like we’re already near tongue-in-cheek but still functional: it doesn’t need to; there’s a perfectly good oversized one sitting at the left end of the home row. If you’d like, you can even make it both Escape (by itself) and Control (when used in combination with another key).
The two extremes for the US are probably John Smith and something absolutely unique. Each has their pros and cons.

(Although my name isn't obviously unusual, it's actually more or less Internet unique and, at a minimum, I have a way bigger footprint than anyone else.)

ADDED: Personally it's probably advantageous to me to have a unique online identity. But it means I can't hide behind an excuse that "It must have been one of the other $NAMES that you read about." And I assume such conflicts could get a resume tossed pretty quickly by a recruiter doing a quick search.

The worst alternative is to have a name conflict who might be plausibly you based on location etc. where the other is a criminal, etc. I went to school with someone who shared a name with someone in NYC who was in very public and messy legal problems. He literally got death threats left on his (pre-Web) telephone.

Well, you can run BIRD for that purpose. It is one daemon with support of multiple routing protocol.
You are making same mistake as many others. Russian Federation != Russia. If something was owned by Russia, then it doesn't mean that it should be owned by Russian Federation automatically.

Russian Federation tries to pretend like they are the only right owners of everything, viewing others nations as traitors, who need to be executed for their act of stealing from Mother Russia.

In reality, Russian Empire (AKA Jail of Nations) was disbanded. Each nation had right to create their own country. Actual Russia renamed itself into Ukraine. Russian Federation has same rights on territory of Russian Empire as other nations, but RF uses lies and fakes to pretend like it has more rights than others, then start wars and captures or tries to capture territories, which they newer owned in first place.
Yeah, keep on bringing them up as long as there are people who do not mind going broke paying up

> but when you de-select the section, there are no side effects: no state is changed in the Scheme instance.

So if your code deletes itself on disk - that code path will run in a sandbox, and roll back? Or are you talking only of state contained/managed by scheme (eg not the os) like global data structures etc?

Great detailed publication ! Makes me want to build one.

Curious to know how much efficient this battery can become without using too hard to source material ! And for which kind of cycles.

Even if components are environmentally friendly, electricity production is never footprint free, so if you need to 2x it to compensate...
Yes, for those who need to hide their code from public scrunity.
I guess this was true before Xiaomi built a brand by buying up mostly good Chinese companies. Having a few unified brands make a lot of sense for building trust between Chinese companies and people in the world.
Yea, this seems quite reasonable. I can't (immediately) see why this wouldn't work between Canada, USA, Australia, NZ, UK, etc.
Which is a subjective notion, of course. I look at a landscape full of wind turbines and I see the beauty of a species recognising it needed to change.
It is an old air frame, and one hard mechanical fault that is impossible to solve without a completely new air frame is the ground clearance. The low ground clearance prevents new and larger engines to be used without completely ruining the aerodynamics of the 737 airframe itself.
Ah, from tfa:

> How Preview Execution Works

> Under the hood, preview execution works by using Scheme environments.

> When code is highlighted, Toski duplicates the current environment and executes the code. Then, when the cursor is moved or the code is de-selected, Toski removes the new environment, returning the instance to the previous state.

Which makes sense - but it would be cool if it automagically mocked all external calls... ;)

That's why inland wind is basically banned in the UK. I totally understand the argument and if it wasn't for the fact that the climate disaster will end us I would agree.

However what 2+ degrees of warming will do will dwarf anything that the turbines will do.

There are also arguments about birds dying and the such. Only that's a BS argument considering that glass buildings kill 10x as many birds and are ubiquitous.

Not a problem in a Western culture. If it's a problem in yours then there are many other ways to fix things to make raising girls better for the parents than forcing them to have children so you are provided with a bride. I mean, seriously that's a sense of entitlement right there: "Not only you will have children even if you don't want to but you will have them so they are spouses for others".
The issue is (from what I understand as layman) that to avoid recertification they kept their old computer hardware from earlier 737 generations, and added more and more tasks to do for it.

My understanding of the advantage of GraphQL is that it allows you to load a structure like

user {
groups(first: 10) {
posts(first 1) {
content
author {
name
address {
state
}
}
}
}
}

and have all the round-trips take place within a datacentre, instead of needing to query

/user
/user/12/groups?limit=10
/groups/34/posts?limit=1
/posts/56
/users/78
/users/78/address

and without having to write a separate

/top_posts_view

endpoint.

I don't understand from the description "a thoughtfully designed REST API built according to HATEOAS" what your proposal to solve this problem is.
I route gigabit with a much slower processor than that.

Good routers are built for reliability, and most of them seem to opt for slowish CPUs and a fast-path for routing that doesn't involve the CPU at all. The CPU is there to update the routing table and do other supporting chores.

Same in Spain and Sweden when it comes to fiscal Id. Really useful.

But the number is not enough to buy anything or open a bank account. For that you need the physical id card that is as hard as forge as passports.

A very good system to make contracts, paying taxes, school registration, etc easy without allowing false impersonation.
I really think that should say, "If 10% of people buy wind power, at least 10% of the grid should be wind."

Alternatively, if folks suddenly demand wind and the supply is not there, I'd think there should be some sort of way for the companies to earmark money to meet the wind demand. This is especially true if the company is charging an optional premium fee for "green energy".
I might give you my experience from the other side of a table - how I was introduced to the codebase in my last job.

On the first day, I sat down with my lead and for about ~3 hours he was explaining to me the whole codebase. It was overwhelming but the codebase wasn't that big (~18k LOC).

I'm not saying that the approach was good/bad. Just sharing my experience.

I wonder whether this approach is common.

1. In both China, and the Soviet Union, nobody would guarantee you a job. You had to find one for yourself. [1]

2. But because of funny accounting (When your business can operate at a loss, it's easy to overhire), there was no shortage of jobs. There was a shortage of good jobs.

3. Food and housing (At least in the USSR) was very heavily subsidized.

Afaik a name was/is believed to have the power to summon a supernatural being that it identifies. God and the devil both have a dozen or more euphemisms. (I've also heard about a rather non-Christiany belief of ‘true names’ having command over some beings, but not sure that it's not a modern fantasy invention.)

Dunno about material beings, but hiccups are believed in some places to be caused by someone remembering you.
Superdiscs weren't difficult to get at all.

I had a Panasonic (?) digital camera that had a Superdisc drive inside. Pictures you took would be written to whatever disc you had inside (a regular 1.44mb would fill quickly). There was an adapter so you could use the camera itself as an external drive.

I still use some pictures from that camera in ebay listings, 15 years later.

That's especially true for seafood.

Chinese love seafood and fish, they consume quite a bit of it as hinted by the article. But they usually also want to buy it alive.

Therefore in supermarkets and even restaurants you usually have tanks with live fish, crabs, etc. As fresh food as can be.

Regarding vegetables, the north is actually not that north by European standards and is sunny in winter (Beijing is at the same latitude as Ibiza...). This means that in places like Beijing they can have solar greenhouses that can produce fresh, local vegetables all year long even when it's freezing outside (winters are much colder than in Europe).
