Curly braces, for loops, while loops, if statements, case statements, variable declaration and initialisation etc. All those things were carbon copied from C/C++, not Lisp.

The features you mentioned aren't part of the Java language, they are tools used by Java language. JVM isn't part of Java as a language, they are part of the Java platform. Most people confuse the language with the platform. JVM is a tool used by the language. Even Javac isn't part of Java. It is a tool used to compile Java [1].

I doubt any Java Programmer was dragged halfway to Lisp. If it was the case, we were going to see at least 10% of those Developers finishing the trip to Lisp but we didn't. That's why Lisp remains an obscure language used by 100 people on a good day.

>The outsourcing companies argued that the law would apply to them only if the American workers who were displaced by visa holders they hired had originally been their employees, not Disney’s. Judge Presnell was persuaded by that argument, although he did not entirely reject the idea that the Americans were “adversely affected” by being fired.

>>The decision was a broad victory for Disney and its contractors, but Judge Presnell left the former workers a small window to amend their lawsuits and to try again.

The lower court’s decision was based on a literal technicality loophole in the regulation where two companies are involved instead of one. An appeal was left open where a higher court may choose to use more leeway in interpreting the spirit and intent of the law and whether that technicality is skirting the law.

Please don’t post misinformation and straw man arguments instead of the OP’s intent.

The FARs seem to follow a consistent philosophy.

Prime directive is don't hurt innocent people uninvolved with your adventure. In the case of rockets this has to mean launch windows that don't intersect with air traffic and plans to avoid dropping burning boosters full of fuel into playgrounds.

Second directive is try not to kill your friends and employees.

After that, if it's just you, you can have a lot of leeway as long as the paperwork is in order.
It's not even a thing that needs to be known specific to IPCC - this is a side effect of anything requiring consensus between many people, in this case thousands of scientists (and politicians?).

A World Without Power (2013)
Some people simply won't purchase unless it is on sale. Better to own one quality pair of shorts than two cheaper mediocre pairs. Also, advocating for drastic reductions of oil extraction does not mean you have to give up oil completely. The world is in trouble not because we use oil, but because we use way, way too much of it when viable alternatives exist.

In that case you need to include Singapore. The inclusion of Singapore allows the plus code itself to be shorter.

For all the people who are rightly concerned about these attacks here's a a couple of questions

- Would you pay money for access to a package repository that had good security practices? How much would you pay? Would you accept delays in library updates to allow for security checks? If so, how long a delay would be acceptable.

- Have you ever looked into the security practices of open source applications or libraries that you wanted to use and had the information you did or did not find affect your decision to use that software?

- How often do you use the inventory of all the libararies you have, to periodically check on the provenance of those libaries and that they are maintaining good security practices?

Ultimately these problems (like most) are one of incentives. It's very easy to build software very quickly using the huge number of open source components that are freely available.

Whilst speed of development and price are the primary considerations, it's not going to be surprising that security takes a lower rung on the ladder.
US big tech have been able so far to lobby (read buy) themselves out of any regulatory corrections.

> Conference calls, slack and email are no substitute for the face-to-face conversations that can resolve blocking issues in a few seconds versus a few hours

I don't doubt this is a real challenge for certain teams or types of work. However, in 5+ years of working remotely at fully-distributed orgs I have never experienced this. Not once have I encountered a scenario where being in a room together would have dramatically changed/improved/whatever the discussion. Perhaps it just comes down to having a team that can communicate effectively without being face-to-face, but this always interested me as a common criticism of remote work.
Floor plan and commute. I love remote work, but would be perfectly fine going to the office every day if I could afford to live less than a 10 minute walk away and had a private/small shared team office. Since neither of those is likely, remote work all the way.
Really? Are the other countries on target? I heard the EU was not.

Based on data, some sports are showing that women are becoming as competitive as men, within a very short timetable when they were able to compete.

I’m making a statement based on data not a weak held opinion.

My opinion that in some cases, I do believe that with time, women and men will compete at the same level. Will it be boxing, American football, or Rugby? Most likely not. Other sports, however, may converge on a unified field.

With regard to biology, again based on the data, it seems that women and men are converging to a level playing field.

Also, if you took the time to read both articles, I did try to have a balance view showing there are physiological superiorities in male athletes.

In endurance sports, it seems fat and hemoglobin are the male superiority (less body fat + larger bodies and hemoglobin count). Question I pose is will this trend continue into eternity or will there be a time when such differences are mitigated via sports science?

Courtney Dauwalter is my favorite runner, but the races where she dominated men were really not the most competitive ones. The theory I read says that difference between the sexes gets less as the distance increases, but even in the marathon there is over a 10% difference between women's and men's world records. Or take UTMB, the most competitive ultra out there taking about 24 hours to finish. The women's winner was 33rd and 41st overall the last couple of years.

It depends on the application. Sometimes you need the finer level of control over resources provided by a statically-complied language like C++. An example would be latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate the unpredictable delays inherent in garbage collection and just-in-time compilation. Other issues might include current availability or stability of the packages.

Dashblock and Actiondesk look pretty slick!
You're right, but I dislike that route for three reasons:

1. It should just be plain unnecessary to apply such a hack.

2. There is still a single weak point for all services.

3. While this prevents against the run-of-the-mill "attacker activates another SIM card for my mobile number and steals my crypto cash from $online_wallet" coming up here every few month, a more sophisticated attacker can just route the SMS to himself via SS7 (I suppose the SIM variant is easier to pull off with less traces, and obviously requires much less technical expertise).
I can't speak for Subsurface's desktop/CLI apps, which I've not used, but I found the mobile app to be very disappointing. The UI is absolutely atrocious, to the point of being unusable, unfortunately.

I've been using the commercial Dive Log [1] app for many years, which is okay, but for my type of recreational diving, it requires a lot of manual data entry for each dive. It's got plenty of "pro" features, but lacks obvious features relevant to recreational diving. In particular, its location support is awful -- a good dive app really should be built around a central dive site database so that the dive app becomes useful not just after a dive (to log your dive) but also before (to read about the under- and over-water geography, local wildlife, etc.). Dive Log doesn't even know about countries -- you have to enter them manually!

Having tried a lot of these apps, they are all pretty bad, and very few of them are free. I think the worst one I've encountered is the official PADI app. I've still not figured out how to edit a previously logged dive in that app.

On the Power of Framing a Performance

Obviously No.
>so the male advantage is basically constant with respect to distance.

No the men's speed advantage is lost over greater distances. Yes, less people run utlra's but also of those who do run them, they are higher caliber runners on average (professionals/elites).

>Of course the worlds fastest women will beat any man who doesn't practice,

She is beating professionals in these ultra's, people don't just roll out of bed and run 240 miles without practice. And she has beat them by as much as 10 hours. She even holds the record for longest run in a 24 hour period and its not because men don't run that race, hell David Goggins has done 24 hour races and she beats him by over a half marathon.
This is clearing out products that haven't sold. Making sure they find a home instead of having to get rid of them in the trash.

Patagonia has admitted that at the end of the day, they are a company in a capitalist society. They know, and have said many times, it's better to re-use or keep longer what you have than to buy something new. But at the end of the day, do you want to buy from a company that does absolutely nothing for the environment or a company that at least, tries to minimize their impact? They are probably one of the best company out there when it comes to sustainability.

Let's stop trying to bring down the companies that are actually doing better and criticize the companies that do absolutely nothing. Perfect is the enemy of good.
Hence my point that there needs to be clear top-down setting of expectations. If you have company management that looks on "unlimited" vacation as a way to avoid having to pay out accrued vacation if an employee leaves combined with a way to grudgingly allow a day off here and there when it's convenient for the company... That's going to be a very bad fit with an employee who sees it as an opportunity to take a couple months off every year.
You'd probably destroy the key's shell in the process of getting to the microchip (you can't get to the private key via the USB connector by design, so decapping is probably the only way to do it), so you would have to have a clone ready that looks exactly like the key you've just disfigured to get to the secret key.

Right. I used to spend hours on encarta as a kid :)
But it works better if you use it for anything else but the terminal. Programming on the previous one wasn't a great experience, the current one is a pretty decent keyboard (my opinion at least).
In my opinion, you’re spot on. There will be areas of a unified sport field while other sports are simply impossible (boxing comes to mind).
Says the person who, when confronted with objective evidence that defeats his argument, refuses to accept it.

Male elites do not run every single ultra race out there, obviously. Why should they? A course record is not a world record, and there is not a single world record a woman holds over a man in running at any distance, from 100 meters to 100 miles.

Your refusal to admit the obvious makes you seem like you're just trolling people in this thread.
Trump just continued for a second time a special allowance for Huawei to purchase components from US companies so the notion that there is any sort of coherent trade policy directed at China by the current administration seems suspect. I opposed the TPP on numerous grounds but I do wish a less cumbersome trade agreement in a similar vein with the same partners had been enacted.
It's certainly _very_ different to MATLAB and Python.

It really depends what you mean by production.
Refreshingly, this article opens by stating the strong case FOR WeWork’s business, before getting down to asking whether this is a sound investment given the founder’s behaviour and the structure of the company.

But when it does turn its attention to that, it is as unflinching in its criticism as it was optimistic in its appraisal of the business opportunity:

Everything taken together hints at a completely unaccountable executive looting a company that is running as quickly as it can from massive losses that may very well be fatal whenever the next recession hits.
Ah this sounds familiar... Probably saw the article here on HN ages back and forgot. I mostly ask cause I don't have one of these keys but if I were to consider getting one I'd want to know what a good option would be.
This was also the original idea of Object Oriented Programming before people thought the real world was a good analogy.
I don't have the full answer (and I would love if someone more knowledgeable could jump in this thread) but I'd say it depends since there are a few antagonistic effects :

- goroutines are (unless it changed since last time I used it) cooperatively scheduled. It's cheaper than preemptive scheduling, but it can lead to big inefficiencies on some workload of you're not careful enough (tight loops can hold a (Linux) thread for a long time and prevent any other goroutines from running on this thread).

- goroutines start with a really small (a few kB) stack which needs to be copied to be grown. If you end up with a stack as big as a native stack, you'd have done a lot of copies in the process, that wouldn't have been necessary if the stack was allocated upfront.
> UK mortgages are cheaper per month than renting

That's definitely the case outside of London where rental yields are higher but London rental yields are averaging 3-4% [1] (lower as you go up the ladder). Mortgage rates are currently a bit cheaper (1.5-3%) but owning a home also incurs additional costs such as stamp duty, repairs and (sometimes) ground-rents.

Honestly don’t think the two are mutually exclusive - I.e.

That's why I said switching can be expensive. If you discover bad internet speeds a month after you signed a standard 2-year contract with a carrier, what are you going to do?

Even if you pay that, you may need to pay for a new phone because of incompatible networks.

Not to mention the PITA of transferring your number.

(Similarly even if you have multiple ISP's, you may need to pay $$ for installation, a new modem, etc.)

That is my understanding also. And that's all I am saying, I'm not saying a woman is going to go out and beat Bolt in 100M sprint or even win the WR for the mile.

Still to acknowledge the playing field levels over distance and then dismissing those races as niche isn't fair. Read these comments, they suggest the only reason Daualter wins is because men don't practice these runs, that is ridiculous, no one is waking up and running 240 miles.

Bloomberg has two different forms of licenses. Traditionally, licenses used to be bound to a computer. With mobile phones becoming more popular, they now tend to be per person (you can still get the terminal ones though). To ensure that people don't share accounts, you need to identify with your fingerprint . You can do that either using the keyboard or with a portable B-Unit to generate a token. Without either of these, Support will generate a code for you but only give you 24h or so until you need to verify with a valid B-Unit.

At $24k a year plus exchange fees, companies are very eager to minimize the number of licenses so Bloomberg is quite strict in enforcing these limits.

Regulation and regulation costs are different things. Further, comparing costs incurred for business vs regulation costs seems odd. Regulation should be there for a reason. Just skimping on that because some other cost changed seems arbitrary. Further, I fail to see why you cannot optimize on the regulation cost; you can do this without changing the regulations.

Another way of looking at costs: eased regulations vs long time investigations and associated costs when something goes wrong due to eased regulations.
