Most VMs don't really work with Windows 9x which tends to crash even more than usual (NT based windows is fine though). The only one tool I know of that's running 9x relatively stable is PCem, and that's more of an emulator than a VM proper.
Experiments have shown that pilot waves would have to travel faster than the speed of light.

My understanding of the experiment is as follows:

Take two entangled photons, beam them up to satellites far away from each other. The satellites have detectors that measure the polarization angle from 0 to 360 degrees. Since entangled photons have opposite polarization you'd expect an inverted V (red line): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem#/media/File:B...

Instead, you get the blue line. Which is weird, because it is basically a cosine curve, and implies that the photons are able to determine the relative angle of the detectors. The crazy part is that this curve still holds even if those detectors are very far apart and you complete the experiment before any information about the relative angles of the detectors would have time to pass from one detector to the other at the speed of light. This is what implies that a pilot wave would have to move faster than the speed of light.
> Amazon is systematically going through every branch of the idea tree around what retail is, and doing it without any pride.

Agreed, but probably not in the way he means. Let's not pretend that everyone who has issues with the things Amazon does is just a relic fuddy-duddy waiting to be cleared away.

NAL, but my understanding is that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act[1] is what governs this. Essentially unauthorized access to a system is unlawful and authorization can be conditioned on using the system in a certain way, like, for example, not crawling it. Merely having a server openly serving data is no more of a justification for unauthorized access than leaving a door unlocked is justification for burglary.

Edit: This is also why you should never evade a ban. It's potentially a federal felony.

An Arduino Uno runs at 16MHz, and averages about 1.5 instructions per clock (estimated by multiplying the best case 1 instruction per clock by 1.5), so about 11M instructions per second.

The FACOM128B is asynchronous, and takes about 0.15s per instruction using the same estimation (1.5x best case), so about 7 instructions per second. See timings at: http://museum.ipsj.or.jp/en/computer/dawn/0012.html

However, the FACOM128B is 69bit, and the Atmega is only 8bit (it can do some 16bit operations, but those are limited to certain registers and operations, so I'll just assume it's only 8bit). 69 is about 9 times bigger than 8, so I'll assume the FACOM128B can do about 9 times as much work per operation (there is overhead in calculating wider results from narrow operations, but the full width isn't always needed, so this simple estimate seems reasonable to me).

Therefore the FACOM128B is like an Arduino with about a 190000x slower clock.
Not all rich should be praised for their hard work and gumption in getting to the top either...but some still deserve it. Painting these groups as solid black and white maybe isn't the best tool for the job.
If your kids going to be a farmer and only a farmer, I think it's quite right to worry about it. Innovation is not constrained in one country - whatever happens elsewhere will be felt, the only difference is where the benefits end up.
James Burke had a climate special (After the Warming) in about 1989-90 where his ideal future was the Japanese running things in a world government. Seems to have captured the zeitgeist and the present (creepy to hear the bit in the beginning though about "full-scale evacuation of New Orleans").

Can you share why you can't hold a job?

I have similar background and problem, just wonder how and if you can define yours.
It's such stupid technical debt, they just aren't going to get lock-in from it like Microsoft did from DirectX. Sure, it was ready before Vulkan was, but the cost of rewriting whatever investments they have made in Metal must be outweighed by the long term maintenance costs. ugh
Can the mods fix? They won't fix several other submissions which I've pointed out were misleading, so...

Easy proof the mods aren't neutral by any means. Recorded and added to the 3.2GB file of shame they've got on them (and that's the smallest one. I've got stuff from MicroSoft, RedHat, and Debian groups that would make the mods puke trying to figure out how to word the headline without causing a civil war. Too bad they'll never get it with their current behavior.)
I will take what you described over the US situation any day, and don't hear any liberals I know describing it as perfect or a utopia...people in the best quality of life nations on Earth still complain about things of course, but don't really understand being without that net...it's not perfection, just much better than here, and keeping people from losing everything due to medical debt etc, and giving them help to rebuild when a catastrophe hits. If the agenda is to get those things then push away I say. Personally I will either be back abroad if I can succeed somehow, or dead if I cannot, by the time real change could even begin happen in the USA. It's many years away for even the first real steps to be enacted, and many decades at a minimum before it could even begin to approach parity with your region...if it happens at all and isn't sunk by more of the same old. But I wish it for the masses here.
Ad 2) It isn't just about IE anymore as more and more older machines become outphased for current OSes. E.g., for a 10 years old Mac Pro, which is still a viable machine, Firefox is currently the only evergreen option which is still receiving updates. (Safari is largely OS-dependent, as is WebKit, and Chrome/Chromium cancels support as soon as the OS is phased out.)
When Functional Programming Doesn't Save Us
Thank you for this wealth of information.

I love the idea of a 2nd GPU, and I have a couple laying around that it's definitely worth trying. I already have three screens on my desk... what's one more?

I'm thoroughly impressed with the Wine project, and yet I'm generally hesitant to install it on my system. I think it may just be the massive install list I get when I try to `apt install` it. I've a similar aversion to installing KDE apps on a system that's not already running kde, which generally include about 150 other k* libs.

Steam Proton looks great. I'd played a few games once Steam started releasing them on linux and truly enjoyed how well some worked (and some _really_ didn't). I don't play as much lately, but this may change that.

It's going to take me some time to read about and further understand everything else you've posted here, which I appreciate.
Predicted when? I wish there were a date attached to that page.

Okay. Let’s make it a little less political. When good intentions meet reality where each house of representative member spends more time fundraising than working (https://www.termlimits.com/congress-fundraising-priority/) and since more states are Republican than Democrat - meaning that the Senate doesn’t represent the people in proportion to the population (every state has two Senators regardless of population), what are the chances that a Democratic President will get anything done?

Obama’s administration had almost no personal legal issues, was much more popular than the current administration and still couldn’t get much done after the first two years.

I have a hard time thinking of a "bad" Apple product. Not "product I don't personally like" or "product that fails to meet a requirement I believe is important", but legitimately "bad".

The Butterly keyboard is the only thing I can think is genuinely, objectively, "bad", due to the reliability issues, but it's hard to say it taints the whole MacBook Pro. I use one everyday, have since they were released, and it's a great laptop for me.

Either way, I'm mostly commenting on the ever-popular and lazy comment that equates Apple's success solely to marketing. Apple's products are successful because they're good products, marketed well. Yes, they're marketed well, but that marketing is only effective because the products being marketed are genuinely "good".

I'm in Philadelphia. Taxes aren't the best, but not as bad as some cities. For me it hits all the major check boxes. The other thing to me is I weigh cities on how much they give, versus how much they take.

* Lower cost of living
* Close to other cities
* I walk almost every where. Groceries are the exception once a week for a 20 minute subway ride.
* A lot to do and see here. Admittedly I'm biased of all the cities I've been it's my favorite.
* Transit. I visit other cities (NYC primarily). Buses are under 10, and most trips are two hours or so.
* Decent tech scene, and start up scene.

The biggest con as a remote employee. Is Comcast, their internet leaves a lot to be desired.
While do I appreciate any form of pacifism, and praise the US Navy's efforts[1], it could be reached much cheaper.

Parents should be more responsible and teach their kids about police. One bad encounter can be the end of their child's life. Letting them read things like this without providing a realistic perspective is quite irresponsible, IMO. I grew up in a society where no one was deluded like this about the role of police. We all knew they were evil and out to hurt or kill us. Those lessons paid off after I moved to America. Here the cops are just as bad but many people kid themselves into thinking they are not. That's a delusional society.
I agree this is a pretty good list. However I feel like a lot if this should be a side effect of the general culture in the company.

I've seen several times people going to management seminars where they teach this kind of stuff and it can come of as extremely off-putting when just boxes like that try to be checked.

Faking personal interest or friendship is worse than showing no interest. People previously telling me to fuck off now addressing me by first name and giving praise with a smile (but still telling me to fuck off between the lines) I quit at least one job because of things like that.
'Apple experience' for me today is lag. Beginning from lagging volume bar on iPhone, going through iTunes, and up to UI. Everything feels slower than on a much cheaper Android phone with 3.5mm jack.
That's merely the title of the article. From the article:

I think it's essential to put a moderate load and leave some space for creativity and new ideas to be tried out. I for one get tired of executing, sometimes I want to play out my own ideas.
Basics should be concepts that get you to 80% and tell you where to look for the rest 20%. This book tries to get you directly to 95% and is best treated as a reference book.

Pretty much. You lose body heat at a rate that depends on the temperature, air pressure, wind, humidity, and maybe more, for example the thermal emissivity of the objects around you (and of yourself).

If you set air pressure and humidity to "standard" values, and wind to zero, you can express the combination of other values as if they were a temperature, and call that windchill.

Of all the variables wind is most important, since the rest don't vary very much on earth. But air pressure does vary on Mars, and thermal emissivity varies in space.

Clearly they shouldn't have stopped producing the iPhone SE or it's successor in the same shape.

Also they messed up really hard when they introduced the new MBP keyboards which now all have to be replaced.

The iPad started to be useful much too slow and in the meanwhile less and less people would even consider it when comparing with a surface.

There is one more thing: The ecosystem seemed to be cool some day. Now it's nothing special anymore and it's not really magical how many things don't work together (because software, bugs, whatever...).

I buy the nice devices as used parts because they had times when they produced some cool stuff that I still like to use. Maybe not with their OS but this will probably change when less money gives them more pressure to be innovative again.
That was when Steve Jobs was still there, and he isn't coming back.
Yes. I know. I just didn't know whether or not the OP had heard of these things. From their comment it seemed as though they just wanted to solve the problem that Calendly solves for themselves. If I were jotting down side project ideas, I would have written "I'd like to make something like Calendly, but with x, y, and z changes."
The Basic in BootOS has also REPL, line editing of the Basic source and the backspace also works.

Also note the "system" command which returns you to the "shell" of BootOS. It works!
Are you referring to the Leahy–Smith America Invents Act of 2011? It sounds like that still says prior art stops the ability to file.

> Actions and prior art that bar patentability under the Act include public use, sales, publications, and other disclosures available to the public anywhere in the world as of the filing date, other than publications by the inventor within one year of filing (inventor's "publication-conditioned grace period"), whether or not a third party also files a patent application. The law also notably expanded prior art to include foreign offers for sale and public uses.

Getting a human to help out, kind of refreshing. Keeping things simple is awesome.

I imagine your primary challenge will be getting the job done correctly 100% of the time and being able to communicate to the users (via sms) effectively and in a timely fashion without missing any key details.

You don't want to mess up someone's day, yet when you outsource the jobs (unavoidable if the business scales), you'll be really exposed to human error.

If you're planning to use AI to do this, I would be less optimistic. AI is not anywhere the likes of Elon Musk like to claim on the Joe Rogan podcast or on other overly exuberant talk-show host programs :)

Mini-digression-rant over :)

Jokes aside, all the best, even if it fails you'll have heaps of fun with it cheers.
This is why I support a universal basic income without means testing i.e. universal.
First of all, also not a lawyer, but it is my understanding that the penalty doctrine would most likely apply, as they aren't trying to recover liquidated damages in a reasonable amount.

Moreover, it would fail the test of acceptance, because the teen in question would have had to have known about the contract and consented to it, neither of which the mall could likely demonstrate, unless e.g. they could prove they explicitly showed the thing to the teen before entering, not just hung it somewhere.

And lastly, the teen being a minor, the contract would be void in most jurisdictions anyway as teens lack the capacity to enter contracts in most jurisdictions.

If the teen caused actual damaged, then tort law is still an option, of course. And if the teen refuses to leave or sneaks back in later, then we're talking criminal offenses.

Question in the title.
Mean time between cameras has probably been increasing due to the very high quality of DSLRs for a decade now. Upgrades aren’t really worth it and there’s better things to spend money on if one wants to improve: lighting, triggers, lenses, supports, and travel!

Film cameras used to last a very long time in the range, Nikon, for example, went from the F to the F4 in forty years. Around ten years between the pro cameras. That’s down to about four years now. My 1DX shows no signs of needing replacement, despite wanting WiFi and GPS, everything is great, and despite fewer pixels than the previous 5D2, enlarges to wall-size without drama. The iPhone takes care of casual use, and a £110 Fuji XM1 covers everyday carry. A secondhand digital camera from six years ago is good enough and costs around £100. Well, why upgrade indeed?

I often get annoyed at such articles. If they don't want to share, then don't clog Hacker News, reddit and search engines with your amputated text! There are plenty of sources. Same problem for JSTOR articles.
You could use yaml serialiser, which leaves non special strings as is and quotes special ones. But this approach can break naive grepping.
While we are at it, ads need to be marked in contrast colors and show business details of the ad buyer and if its an app, what kind of contract you are entering. My Android nags me "Enable anti-malware" and I don't know if it came from the OEM or from some originally minimal app that sold itself to a unscrupulous buyer. Elders's Androids (in India) have undismissable notifications many times taller than 2000s IE toolbars nagging them to install intrusive system tools.
A theorem is a consequence of a set of axioms. By definition.

It may be an a-priori truth in the context of the particular proof you are working on, but a-priori your theorem there is always an axiom.

Wanting to prove that X is a theorem of a-priori truth Y is the same thing as writing the algorithm for f: Y -> X

So it's not Open Source™, as defined by The Open Source Initiative. I'll still call it open source as there is source in the open that doesn't seem leaked maliciously.
It's just one among many tweets from Telvock questioning the veracity of Musk's tweet. A rampup of the kind Musk is promising doesn't happen in a vacuum -- there should be new hiring happening at the Buffalo Gigafactory already (they laid off 50 employees in January, has that headcount even been restored?), raw materials procurement should be underway, and there should be a healthy roster of orders for the $50,000 roofs. Where are they?

Of course normal companies, with a level of corporate governance ranking somewhere above "drunken frat house," publish these sorts of production forecasts in official channels after careful vetting and consideration. It is neither admirable nor acceptable for a public company CEO like Musk to simply pop off on Twitter with "ambitious goals" on which investors might rely for trading decisions if they have no basis in fact. Which is why questions are already being asked about whether Musk's tweet violated the terms of his amended SEC settlement agreement, which requires legal pre-approval for any public statements he makes about matters relevant to Tesla, including production forecasts. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-30/musk-twee...

No problem here really. It's best to debug the ship while it is already being used - issues come up more frequently. It's not a dangerous time in the U.S. history now - probably, safest time ever (no real enemies left since 1992 and nothing to fight for since the U.S. achieved oil independence recently). It's the best to do it in exactly the way it's done - spend another 5 years debugging the ship while it's being used in some sort of reduced capability mode, then another year to retrofit all fixes to the 2nd ship of class, and it will still be okay.

People who see delays in major weapon programs as catastrophic, forget that the potential adversaries either protracted their equivalents for decades, or cancelled them altogether. F-22 looked like a mad dash to arrive to the 5th generation fighter ahead of Soviet Union, in 1991. It's been developed, all of them are built, fully learned by their crews and already start to age, and Russian 5th generation is still nowhere on the horizon - their abortion sort of project has even been discarded by the Indians as not matching their minimal requirements, and is in limbo since then. It's more or less the same with all similar projects.
Can you tell me more about your project to get lean working on the cloud providers?
It sounds like you correctly identified a mismatch between audience and material, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to describe the teachers/authors as having made an error. Why would you assume that you are the intended audience of this text and thus that the authors have made some mistake?
I'm also an MCC alum - I worked in the Software Technology Program. My code there had a surprisingly long life - transitioning to a spin out startup and then other companies. (See gIBIS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compendium_(software)#Histor... ). I too learned Lisp (and Emacs!) there - two tools that have stuck with me ever since. Many of us also started to learn Japanese there.
