I've seen various software that does this with multiple installer/liveCD ISOs for Linux distributions but none that could actually boot all arbitrary ISOs (Windows installers, DOS rescue disks) which need to be on a logical device partition.

I used to have a 2.5 enclosure that supports this in hardware (Zalman ZM-VE300) but selection of ISO is done on-device before booting. I don't see any reason you couldn't build a hardware/software combo where selection on-screen made the USB hardware mount the selected ISO as a new logical device and then booted it.

I did. Then I spent the weekend with a migraine. IMO, VR isn't worth the effort. I'd rather have my brain directly jacked into the computer, as long as there's an effective firewall available to keep advertising and other malware out of my head.
Why is bios capitalized?
So maybe just a few unnecessary deaths resulting from actions of anti-vaxxers is okay as long as it's not an extinction-level event?
Just make a shaft to replace the shifty gear reducing bits of the transmission and then bolt your electric motor to the now gear-less transmission. It should be pretty easy to standardize a coupling and mounting bolt pattern for the motor and then just bolt on whatever transmissions shaft and bell-housing adapter you'd need for the particular model.

I'm glossing over the details but you'd need about half a dozen precision machined features and like three or four parts that are specific to a particular ICE engine/transmission application. Dimensions are such that you could probably buy cheap axles for a common application and then have them machined down to make your part. Parts cost should wind up under $200ea unless you need something expensive to machine (like blind female splines).
Low level development is often fun and somewhat easy on mature hardware where someone else has already discovered the issues.

But on new hardware, you're dealing with gremlins. Physical factors can affect hardware, and sometimes you just can't be sure if it's your code, Cthulhu or position of the moon. For example higher temperature can both decrease or increase crystal frequency. Firmware/software can affect hardware through power consumption and other routes. It can be really hard to know if it's hardware or software, except in hindsight.

Catching something that happens frequently is one thing, you have oscilloscopes and stuff. But good luck hunting down the issue that happens once per month with 20 test devices. Sometimes these things can take more than half a year to catch and fix.

When you mess up in kernel driver, result is often something pretty bad. Like crashing or freezing the system, or worse, silent corruption. Freezes and crashes are great, if you can use kernel debugger or get the dumps. Not so great when it happens on the other side of the world without any low level data to work with. You also have to really understand kernel interfaces, OS power management, driver life-cycle issues and performance ramifications to mention some.

I don't mean low level is necessarily hard, but I do mean it really, really depends!
Er, that's "bios", not "BIOS". As in, biographies. The article has it right.

If female scientists have a BIOS, I haven't figured it out. But they do have biographies. Or at least, they would, if overzealous deletionists didn't have it out for them.
I hazard to propose that twitter contains closer to 99.999% crap. 90% might be the central point, but I think there is still variance between different mediums. Comparing nominal values without knowing the distribution can be dangerous, but that's why we have units of deviation, such as zscore.
You have two extremes for GUI development. One is games, where everything is built from the ground up. The other is professional apps like office, photoshop where large dev teams with lots of money build tightly integrated GUIs for each platform.

Then you have the 95% of apps that just need an interface.

For close to four decades OS providers have actively fought against the development of a common cross platform GUI framework that was easy to use.

Now finally we have electron so we can use the only existing cross platform gui platform (html/javascript) that survived in spite of the big players attempts to kill it.

So electron/javascript will dominate. It’s not pretty but it’s the best we have.
Ughhh, HOAs....What a complete waste of time.

Right, just pointing out that the media often uses the term "free" when referring to public programs that workers pay for with their tax dollars. It is deceptive.
Java is verbose because it is Java, not because it is statically typed. Let's look at some more modern and ergonomic language instead, like Typescript which is much more relevant to the OP.

The typing there might add a few extra characters to your function definitions but you gain them back in terms of less need for documenting the argument types in comments. You hardly ever see typing inside of functions in Typescript so it hardly adds any verbosity.

> “Presumption of Innocence” applies to the state prosecuting individuals. It exists to counter the massive power imbalance between the state with its effectively unlimited resources and time to put together its case versus citizens that may not even have a lawyer in some jurisdictions.

It also serves to avoid ignorant, heated lynch mobs. As with free speech, societal buy-in is a precondition to precluding the government from taking actions.
The point about feedback is spot-on. It's chronic across hiring because hiring teams are trying to find their candidates and save time/money.

What people forget about is the social capital you gain/lose. If 50 people come through your process and you give no feedback, they'll tell their friends about your weak hiring practices and that alone will cost you candidates.

If you've already put in many hours to interview someone, taking 30 minutes to explain some areas of improvement or why it wasn't a good fit is a very valuable thing to do for your business in the long-run.
To be honest, I'm still having a lot of fun with Skyrim, and it was released in 2011.

It is buggy, they don't really update it anymore, but the modding community kept it alive and well and the way Bethesda treats their customers doesn't make me optimistic about the future.

I understand everything is GMO to a degree, and I am honestly not sure of how the "non-GMO" label works. The question them becomes is the GMO from a patented modification or a non-patented modification?

I am not against GMOs from a biological perspective, I agree they are necessary. The question is should one take a stand against patented GMOs.
Yep and that problem becomes way more clear when you read the supplemental material that includes the actual question for measuring 'patience' [0 page 12-13]: They were given 5 rounds of the question "Would you take 100 Euro now or X euro in 12 months" Where X starts at 151 and goes through the tree on page 13 to assign you a patience score. The less you were willing to accept to wait 12 months the more patient you are.

This is clearly going to be affected a lot by how much 100 euros is relative to your current living situation.

Tcl added first-class hash maps in the form of dictionaries several years ago.

Tcl also added coroutines and a native object system in the past decade.

Tcl has variable trace hooks which can be called whenever an attempt is made to change a variable's value, the hook can block the change, making any so-traced variable effectively immutable. (see: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Enforced_immutability#Tcl )

This is very obviously and demonstrably false. I don't understand how anyone can believe this.
Adler's advice is meant to make your reading more efficient and effective, not to increase the amount of time you spend.

In fact he advocates taking just a short time to quickly size up a book, rather than make the mistake of starting to read a book only to discover halfway in that it is not a good book, or that it doesn't address what you want to know, or whatever else.

He is addressing an audience that will read large numbers of books to learn something, or in preparation for writing, etc.
Yeah agreed, sometimes reading a research paper from the DS team would actually ring a bell somewhere and I know where to look at. I'm re-learning Statistics from bottom up at the moment lol but this 2,000-page book really looks daunting. I'm pretty sure I didn't take any advanced optimization course back in university.
“No one cuts up a fine silk scarf to patch old work clothes; you want fabrics that match. And you don’t put your wine in cracked bottles.”
Agreed. If you read the article carefully, the author holds no degree in CS but rather went to a bootcamp. I don't know how much this qualifies you for a senior position, depends a lot on experience.
Never expect feedback. Never expect to even hear from the company once they decide they're not interested. Any communication is a gift, because any information they give about how they arrive at their decision could potentially expose the company to liability.

This is the reality in $CURRENT_YEAR and it needs to be dealt with, not bristled at.
> I sent over some horrible code in a language I can barely write that I was really proud of and explained why.

Why would you ever do that? The whole point of sending over code is so that they assess whether you can write understandable code. I don't know what you have to benefit from this.

> I sent over some different code, it was a 5 line code change that halved the average response time of an API. But I also said you know, I’m not interested in auditioning for you. Either we’re a good match or we’re not, but I’m not particularly interested in being “grateful for the opportunity to apply”, frankly I think you should be grateful that I took a few hours out of my day to explore whether we want to build something together…

Why would you even? Just why?
I live in a poor African country, and even here, people choose to buy things instead of their basic needa being met. Meat instead of beans, alcohol, weed, cigarettes, etc. They rather go hungry and get drunk than have a lot of bland food.

There are some people who might be close to starving, but they’re a small minority.

In the US these people are virtually non-existant. Even homeless people manage to hustle over $100/day. And they don’t spend that money on food, either.
I don't think it's fair if copyright holders can just inject their audio by having it played in the background somewhere as you are recording (like recording in the vicinity of a bar, which is what one of the commenters talked about), and then get to monetize that.

Which is exactly what these corporations are doing when they buy air time on the radio: part of it is definitely marketing strategy to have that audio be in the background or present in as much places as possible, purely for exposure.

It's something they are actively injecting in our shared/public spaces, basically making ambient sounds "copyrighted", and it's kinda ridiculous they expect to be paid when successful.

I know, this is how copyrights works. But it's a relatively new thing they actually take action when something is recorded that has unwanted background sounds, that the video maker unwittingly recorded, while the copyright holder is explicitly paying to have that sound be playing in the background of as many venues as possible, with the purpose to expose it t as many people as possible.

Also this crazy idea is unheard of (haha pun) in other kinds of media: If one of my graphic designs would be shortly visible in the background of a camera pan ... can you imagine trying to claim even 0.1% monetisation?

The only JIT “restriction” is App Store policy. No downloaded code is allowed unless it’s JavaScript (and runs, as it happens, on one of the JITs iOS has built in). This is policy, not technical limits. You can even install a Python environment and code in it. And, as it happens, write code that downloads other code to be evaluated. Because you did it on your device with full knowledge. Not the developer who put it in the App Store.

I’m not even going to try and address whatever weird issues a console emulator might have, those always have problems being ported to non-x86 platforms, especially when they include a JIT. As it happens, dynamic recompilation of machine code not designed for that purpose can be pretty damn hard. Take a look at the posts the Dolphin emulator team make about the fun they encounter.

I've seen estimates ranging from 15% to 19%. That's not low, it's higher than most developed countries.

Seems to me the stabilizing effect of a stagnating population is the main reason.
The article itself doesn't have anyone who left their home for a new house. The part I quoted references a single person who "moved from" his home into an apartment; that generally implies sold, but even if he is renting it out, he's in an apartment now, as is his partner. Each of the people in the article have 0-1 home.

> Expand your circle. How many people do you know living completely singly vs having room mates? Most of the people living in the US can't afford to have their own place, and many couples in the US can't afford to have a place for both of them, let alone children. Life is much different outside the ivory towers.

I promise you I'm not surrounded by rich young Harvard grads buying houses. Most of the people I know have roommates, a live-in partner, or both. But looking at high-cost cities is every bit as misleading as looking at rich people; most of the US spent decades subsidizing sprawl and single-family homeownership, with predictable results.

Only 30% of American adults live with roommates (including family) outside romantic relationships. For the 55+ demographic in question, who largely grew up in an era of lower housing prices, that number is 10% (and skewed higher by those who need family care). Meanwhile, 65% of American households and 80% of over-55 households are owner-occupied, so the median American over 55 lives in a home that they or their partner own. 4/3 renters to 3/4 homeowners, none with roommates, is almost exactly what you'd expect for 7 Americans over 55.

Since my savings are well in excess of 100 Euro, and I don't expect them to dip below 100 Euro in the next twelve months, I don't need 100 Euro right now. Therefore my calculation is simple and unemotional: is the interest I'll get from saving what I could receive now higher or lower than the additional amount you're offering me in twelve months if I wait?

For those who aren't lucky enough to not need 100 Euro right now, the calculation is entirely different. Do you want to be hungry, or not?

This makes the question so skewed I don't think it's any valid measure of "patience" at all. I don't need to be patient to wait.
"It may mess up your credit for a few years, but how many people in the situation have both good credit and will actually use it in the next few years?"

Clarification: Going bankrupt will be a mark on one's credit for the next 7 or 10 years. It may prevent someone from acquiring necessary loans to get a car, housing, opening a small business, and other things people consider to be advancing their life or career.
The actual code names used for the for USA jets during development are:

'The F-35 Boondoggle' and 'The F-22 Rape the tax payer'

Not quite the same ring to it as 'Raptor', so I understand why they changed it.

But it's nice to know how many years of my tax payments go into every minute of flight for one of these jets... For the sake of boosting of Lockheed Martin's weapons sales via tax payer funded advertising.

Makes me proud to be a American.

Right, one of the strong arguments in favor of the term was that “open source” had no pre-existing meaning to constantly struggle against. Thus my frustration with the persistent confusion, where by “confusion” I mean “con men falsely claiming that their software is open-source in order to free-ride on the goodwill the open-source community has earned through decades of hard work and persistence against impossible odds in order to guarantee basic human rights to everyone in an increasingly computer-mediated world.”

Now, what I'm not sure about and don't have the means to consult a lawyer about is

1) How liable is the author of a scraper who put it on GitHub but never did use it themselves. Because I remember seeing a lot of implementations and tutorials of tools like BeautifulSoup that don't necessarily comply with the ToS.

2) What if you edit the User-Agent to something that resembles a browser provided the scraper is just substituting browser interaction, e.g. those search from your terminal applications. Could/would it be construed as impersonation or something?

It's very difficult (read:impossible) to get evidence for something like this because there is essentially zero detail on these ancient societies. However, it's a theory that is consistent with anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary biology. Could be totally wrong, but probably not.
Barbaric..
Well, metrics didn't show it, neither do share prices. It was more a slight change in culture and everyday behavior that started roughly half a year later. Here have been some changes in management as well, so it can all be coincidence. My pet theory back than was Jeff kind of ignoring his own leadership principles gave a number of people the freedom to do the same thing. And at least in my opinion nobody rained them back in. But again, that's just my impression. And by all accounts Amazon as a company is still doing great.

One side effect of all that was managers being more risk averse. Some initiatives that could have been at least tried started to be blocked by red tape until the political environment was favorable. Did I mention that Amazon already was a pretty political place?
Kafka can probably guarantee exactly ones semantics on publishing (conditions apply). It definitely cannot guarantee exactly once semantics on the consumer and processing side. Imagine a scenario where you receive a message from Kafka and process it, but the processor crashes or has a network partition right after. There's no way for the message to be acknowledged and you either have to design your system to be idempotent or handle exactly-once semantics further down the stack.

Databases have been handling exactly-once semantics for decades now. What Kafka is doing is not new and actually gives you a false sense of security when it comes to these kinds of things.

There are two types of radar for virtually everything air defense. The first type searches the entire skies and is for finding aircraft. Networked versions of this are much harder for stealth aircraft to hide from entirely however they have the radar signature of small birds. The S400 and upcoming S500 from Russia is an excellent version of this, but is itself vulnerable to electronic warfare countermeasures. Turning the sensitivity down low enough to detect small birds makes it impossible to use the radars from a practical sense.

The second type of radar has an extremely narrow beam and is for targeting. This is the radar that locks onto a plane to direct missiles at it to shoot it down. This is the one that stealth aircraft pretty much entirely defeat. So in short, they can see the planes on occasion, and try to lock, but can't get a target lock. When they try, the stealth airplanes will often release rf tracking missiles and blow them up.

I was a UAV (civilian term: "drone") pilot of the Shadow 200 TUAV in the US Army circa 2001-2005 and Iraq 2003-2004. The Shadow 200 TUAV was what was deemed "effective stealth" in that it had composite material with low radar signature and radar absorbing paint. The exhaust was dampened and came out about 1" from the propeller on the top so unless you were flying above, the thermal footprint was miniscule. We did some drills with our own Patriot air defense units and they said they had to set their radars so low they were picking up big birds. They also told us that simply wasn't possible to do in wartime.
Man, I spoke of scars and wrinkles and you read "fat". In that particular paragraph you quote, I was thinking of people with asymmetrical features, or other features generally considered unattractive. Not once I considered weight.
