> I do NOT associate my identity with my nation though. I associate it with my hobbies and work. Indian conduct has been equally abhorrent, that is my point, yes. EVERY nation.

No worries. But you don't get to determine how other people feel, or to tell them what to think. Acting like you do is just as dangerous as nationalism.

Edit: question for you: you said 'saying tying your identity to a nation is a cesspit to begin with' - so to take the First Nation peoples in Canada as an example (and I know there are a multiplicity of different groups here) - going by your statement it might be thought best to deprive them of ties to their traditions and history, because this equates to them tying their identity to a nation (group of people). Agree, or not? And if not, how is their situation different to any other nation?

> The reason I'm spewing bile is because of this fallacy that both sides, Leave and Remain, were equally bad. I see the same thing when people say climate deniers should be given equal airtime, or when people say the US Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans.

That's just your opinion. What makes you the omniscient, perfect judge? There are people on the other side that would argue the direct opposite of what you say - 17.4m or so of them perhaps. You would argue that they are all just stupid/ignorant/evil etc?
> Tech salaries in NYC and SF aren't 5 or 6 times higher than tech salaries in London.

I've seen 75k USD salaries commonly in London and 400k+ is not unheard of in fang companies.

>Erm, no. You will not likely meet the eligibility requirements for medicaid. That's just wishful thinking. If that's how the system worked, medical bankruptcies wouldn't happen.

If I have money and insurance why do I need assistance? The disaster situation you were describing seemed to imply that I would no longer be working and have insurance. If I'm working and have insurance I'll just pay my copays and get care that way. If I have no income due to a disability, I'd get SSDI and medicaid.

>They're not allowed to refuse you life-saving emergency treatment. They sure can refuse to give you chemo, refuse to give you reconstructive surgery if you've been badly burned, etc. etc.

Care to cite a time where that ever happened?

This is an interesting point. I'm totally on-board with people being able to do this in their own garage. I'm fine with a person doing that contracting an engineering firm to build components of their conversion. I think even if a company provided the bits in kit form I could live with that. It starts getting a bit iffy to me when you can turn up with a donor and drive away in an electric vehicle and certainly if you can turn up and ask for an electric [insert car] and they source all of the parts and do the conversion.

A lot of this has parallels in the world of aviation. For example there are provisions for owner supplied parts on certified airframes. Experimental / homebuilt aircraft have to meet a standard of the amount of work completed by the original builder (usually 50%).
And to make in the previous worse it would apparently "autobalance" and flip to chirality which meant that even if they 100% isolated it at great expense is why we never saw "rebranded Thalimoide but isolated to be all morning sickness drug no birth defects". I don't know enough details to tell how long it took and if it could even be used safely under ludicrously impractical assumptions like "if you it freshly isolated in bulk and take it within five seconds it would be safe but expire in an hour".

Yes, thanks for making that note. I've heard it's how/why KriegSpiel was invented in the first place - as chess was a poor substitute for practicing war strategy.
No, it's more like saying "why not fix both 'big' and 'small' problems at the same time", because whataboutism is a constant defense of problematic status quos.

I don't know that this bill is a good or bad thing yet, I haven't dug deep into it yet. But the idea of making more designers eliminate dark patterns in software and make more features opt in instead of opt out is a good use of regulation in my mind.

I get it, "regulation ruins innovation" or some other libertarian nonsense. The bottom line is that the software industry has some problematic behaviors that they have refused to self-correct, and this is what happens.
It is 2019 and this came out in 2015. At a minimum, these are the world's slowest blood hounds.

I'm not privy to German politics but if the political situation is ANYTHING like what I would expect, diligent prosecution of corporate malfeasance is roughly the last priority of government prosecutors, well behind prosecuting jaywalking and spitting on the sidewalk.

I don't think this is true. There are 50 states, each with different laws and definitions of acts and crimes. I am not aware of any federal anti-harassment laws except for those governing workplaces, and even those do not consider all harassment to be illegal.
Most employer sponsored healthcare plans in the US have a maximum out of pocket the patient can be charged per year.

The average cost for someone with cancer and an employer sponsored plan in the US is around $6000 per year. That's $500 a month.

Both my parents had cancer and survived in US, so I do know from first hand experience. They did not get ruined financially.

That said, I do support healthcare for all in the US.

Google is trying to make this obfuscation a standard.

For Google, there is no money to be made when people know how to enter URL in a browser's address bar. Money is on users searching for a company using a name each time they want to visit a company website. That way Google can bombard users with adverts. When they click on those adverts, Google get paid. Now companies will be forced to advertise using Google AdWords. So that they can appear on top of the search list. Otherwise Google will show ads of their competitors first.

I don't think the parent was even talking about actually integrating organizations, but just building a shared identity. That starts with a name. A lot of googling showed there is actually a word for that: "United States Armed Forces". I don't remember it being used much in US media. At best in technically correct news articles, but I doubtful to have heard it in movies. Even the word being plural might make it hard for people to identify as such. The Wikipedia page doesn't even list an acronym, with USAF already being taken...

We in germany have a "Bundeswehr". There obviously are separate branches and what not. I'm actually not familiar with the internals, since we from the public usually think of the military as a single entity. Doesn't matter if a trainee dies on a ship, a barrack has problems with nazi tokens or fighter jets colliding and dropping out of the sky during training, each of those events makes me think bad about our military in general (and sadly are not made up).

So yeah, why not strengthen a joint identity?
I used a Fire Phone this year up until I lost it- and I loved it. It was small, powerful [1] supported ADB, so I was able to get the Google Play Store on it (yeah, yeah, I know- but neither Discord, nor GMail, are going to install themselves) and the multi-camera thing in the front, though a confusing choice, was pretty cool.

It might be just a bit of nostalgia, but I honestly miss my Fire Phone a lot. It did everything I needed it to, was fast, and actually fit in my pocket.

[1] Unlike generation-old iPhones that get slowed to a stop by software updates, the thing never got updated, and so it was still quite good [1.1]. Yay, I guess?

[1.1] I came from a really cheap BLU-branded phone, and so anything was better, really.

As ripcord is only free during the beta period, I don't think you'll find many "end users" who would want to pay for it. The vast majority of Discord users being Gamers with big disks and plenty of RAM.

That is an incredibly pedantic statement. They chose not to pay the cost that the owners charged them. Netflix is an equal actor.

I really disagree. With TouchID my phone was unlocked before it even got to my face. With my iPhone X (which I've had since launch) I get lots of false positives. It also means I have to raise it, swipe as I raise it, phone gets in front of my face, small pause, faceid success, phone unlocks and displays home screen. This takes probably 1/4 to 1/5 of a second longer than TouchID where the device is already unlocked and at the home by the time I get it in my field of view.

Personally I would like to see an iPhone X with TouchID under the display WITH FaceID. So if I have gloves on or my finger is wet, no problem, FaceID takes over. If I'm laying in bed and holding my phone to close to my face, no problem, TouchID authenticates. It also means I can unlock my phone without picking it up off my desk with my finger.

You would get the best of both worlds and none of the drawbacks.
We are on the same page.

My point is having 2 let or var statements doesn't actually do anything on the interpreter side.

If JS allowed 2 var/lets without complaining, it would be entirely a social convention as to what that meant, since it would have no effect on the actual code that was run.

And the social convention benefit (which could more easily be achieved with just putting a comment at the end) is probably far outweighed by the many, real examples I've seen where someone has accidentally created a new variable without realizing that variable already exists in scope.

Disallowing multiple vars helps linters identify these situations (which are far more common with var's function level scoping than let's block level scoping).
The Fire Phone is actually a very intriguing topic. If I had to choose out one point in time when Amazon started to change I would take the Fire Phone. What follows is just my personal opinion and impression I had working at Amazon back the day, so take it with grain of salt. I also was not directly involved with the Fire Phone.

The Fire Phone arguably was Jeff's pet project. E.g. the four cameras facing forward were his idea if I remember well. Then it failed. What should have happened, based on leadership principles, would have been for Jeff to own it and admit it (vocally self critical and so on). That didn't happen, my impression was that blame was put on the lower echelons of the organization. For that was, in retrospect, the point when leadership principles started to be used as a political tool by some people. After that, at least for me, the culture changed as well. It took more than a year for that effect to trickle down, so. Amazon was still a good yet challenging place to work, but it felt much more like any other large corp out there.
Vector of action is another reason - a nasal spray is far friendlier than injection. Although I don't know why that can't or shouldn't be done for ketamine.

The writing style of this book i.e. rigorous math notation and proposition/proof presentation is going to put off the great majority of potential CS and ML readers. At almost 2000 pages it sure makes a great door-stop though.
ctrl-f "seq"

In FakeTCP header mode,udp2raw simulates 3-way handshake while establishing a connection,simulates seq and ack_seq while data transferring.

--seq-mode <number> seq increase mode for faketcp:
0:static header,do not increase seq and ack_seq
1:increase seq for every packet,simply ack last seq
2:increase seq randomly, about every 3 packets,simply ack last seq
3:simulate an almost real seq/ack procedure(default)
4:similiar to 3,but do not consider TCP Option Window_Scale,
maybe useful when firewall doesnt support TCP Option

--seq-mode

The FakeTCP mode does not behave 100% like a real tcp connection. ISPs may be able to distinguish the simulated tcp traffic from the real TCP traffic (though it's costly). seq-mode can help you change the seq increase behavior slightly. If you experience connection problems, try to change the value.
Your post sounds like some sort of Stockholm Syndrome manifestation. The other poster found a bicycle seemingly abandoned in a public place, and the police response quite correctly sounds ridiculous. That you so casually refer to yourselves as Gaijin -- which is a manifestation of Japan's incredible cultural insecurity and xenophobia -- should be indicting Japan, not somehow used to defend them. Gaijin or not [1], he has every right to have opinions about things.

Multiple detectives investigating a bicycle theft is absurd. This has positively nothing to do with the broken window theory, but instead is exactly what the article talks about which is an overstaffed police force with little to do.

And it doesn't have little to do because Japan is such a cultural gem. It has little to do because Japan is facing a population implosion as the population ages with few children. Youth and young adults are, unsurprisingly, responsible for most crime, and when you have few in that demographic crime drops. No surprise.

[1] It's interesting to think about this in the context of a Japanese person in, say, Canada. They meet with a ridiculous scenario with a ridiculous response, and when vocalizing to a coworker how ridiculous it is they are told that they are a smug foreigner and need to shut the hell up. That would be simply outrageous, and is the sort of thing the worst sort of racist would resort to.
If it's internal software, yes. If you're making it for a mass market, it's a super important part.

This book seems to be designed as a primer for PhD research students - which might include some talented final year undergrads heading in that direction.

If that's your level, it might reasonably be called "basic."

For everyone else - no.
you are completely right, except for the fact that jaywalking isn't a crime in germany.
Yeah, I feel that they should actually make it default. By the way, check out Codetyphon [1], if you don't know it already. That is one hell of a component and library collection, and it has a lot of added features for the IDE. Really bad Website, though.

It doesn't/didn't, unless they have relaxed some rules or opened more frequencies for experimentation. Last time I checked LoRa guidelines required each node to stay quiet most of the time for very good reasons, that is, one could transmit only for a short time (iirc just a few minutes per day). More than enough for remote sensors/alerts etc but hardly usable for any other purpose beyond research. Still impressive results though!
Let's hope its success will push for opening of more bands so that traffic rules can be relaxed a bit, but I'm not expecting free (as in unregulated) public availability anytime soon: that would be a mess.
This is the third or fourth time this story has been posted in the last couple of days. There's another version on the New page right now. It feels like people are pushing this nonsensical claim in order to promote Intelligent Design as a replacement theory.

I think the main issue people have with this all is that we all f*cked up by making Chrome into the new IE6 by pushing it to a monopoly position and only now realizing that. So now we get angry at Google every time we are confronted by our mistakes, for instance when they push a change upon us that we are not especially thrilled about.

Also, we love change as long as we are the ones doing it. All other changes are bad.

We == developers
Sure!

The high level goal is being able to write proof-carrying code in more places.

I think it's important for us to be able to guarantee properties/requirements of our programs and one way to do that is with formal methods. Lean is not only a proof assistant but also a dependently typed pure functional programming language with a decent VM. I would like to be able to ship the program from the proof.

I'm starting from the low level of the Lean VM by adding libffi support so that we can write high-level bindings to C libraries and bootstrap the Lean ecosystem. We need libraries to call databases, parse JSON and other serialization formats, speak HTTP, etc. The goal is to be able to ship an AWS Lambda function written in Lean.
My bad, I mean the ESP32/ESP8266 modules on their own don't have any LORA capabilities (The ESP32 has both Bluetooth BLE and Wifi, ESP8266 has just wifi).

However LORA itself does work over P2P, and a common module is the ESP32 + LORA + OLED screen, which I have used and tested without any gateways.

Also I think separate from LORA altogether - There's something called ESPNOW which lets the ESP's mesh network, but that's not related to LORA and I haven't ever played with it.
I think the second link is a great read and I agree with most points. If Tk had been moved to GTK or QT (probably GTK due to licensing) early on, it could have maintained its role for making portable GUIs a bit clearer. Though, in my eyes, Tcl/Tk still is the easiest tool to use portable UIs. Especially with Tclkits, you can make single-file executables, which are very convenient to deplay, I have had great sucesses with that.

Today, Python has grabbed a lot of attention from Tcl - for "programming" it might be the more elegant language, but for "scripting" Tcl is hard to beat. But it is ironic that Python still ships Tkinter as the default GUI solution. If any language, Python should have standardized on GTK support, it had good support for GTK, but never standardized it.

The Tcl syntax is a bit rough, but is built on extremely simple rules. This has two benefits. First of all, it is - that was what it was designed for - a great language to control tools, that is, script complex programs. Thanks to the syntax, every function immediately becomes a command a user can type, no complex syntax for the input required. In that sense, like shell scripting, Tcl sacrifices a bit of syntax suger for the developer for a nice interactive input syntax. It is vastly nicer to program in compared to the shell languages :)
The second benefit ist the ability to extend the language by the users - it doesn't even need a macro system for that like Lisp. Tcl is one of the few homoiconic languages.

Finally, while Tcl isn't as activelely maintained and especially extended as other "modern" languages are, this cuts in two directions. The implementation is extremely robust and many features are very efficient. Of course the basic execution speed of Tcl code is one of the slower scripting languages, but the libraries it uses are excellent. It had high performing event handling many years before Node.js made that populer.
I think the point was that if you're looking at an expensive replacement anyway, it might be worth doing a somewhat more expensive replacement to convert to an electric drive train.

> As an Amazon.com customer, I consciously avoid returning unless I absolutely have to because I care about my account. I fear amazon will honor my ridiculous requests to a point and ban me at some point

From my experience i've had the opposite approach. Anything that doesn't live up to my standards or simply doesn't work out i return. I return ruthlessly and i've never had any problems. However my rate of return is still less than 1 in 20 and i purchase a fair amount.

I've never heard of anyone being banned for returning items on amazon?
