I like your reasoning, it is worthy of both karma and LOL's.
Land. It's quite hard to steal, but the old way of occupying it by force still works in areas that are remote and lawless enough. America has had a few high-profile cases of this, but with more guns and less fire. I'm surprised to see it happening in Spain.
I was in Oslo in 2018, before the Model 3 came out. I saw very many Electric vehicles on the roads, including numerous Teslas.

Now, add to that the model 3 outselling the Model S by a factor of 11 to 1 this year, that is amazing.
- In the US we have vast surpluses of corn, and it's heavily subsidized by the government.

- Feed lots can fit a whole lot more cows per acre.

- Corn tends to fatten up cows more (and more quickly) than grazing.

- Increased fat content = meat that grades higher and tends to sell for more meaning you also earn more $/lb on top of the other reasons.
I had to google feedlots. They seem a tad unsustainable.
How to Plot Charts in Python with Matplotlib – Morioh
The points in the article are pretty solid.

But here is a big question.

Imagine you can influence the switch of the configuration formats for projects like Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker Compose, AWS CloudFormation, Google Cloud Deployment Manager, et al.

You can take any project with huge user base and all of those project will have one thing in common: JSON-based configuration with an option to write this configuration in YAML.

Since basically anyone talking YAML in the context of JSON is talking about a JSON superset.

So here's the task: propose a JSON-compatible alternative to YAML.

Things to keep in mind:

- backwards compatibility

- easy migration from YAML to a new format

- full JSON compatibility

- relatively cheap to get supported by the project of interest.
US subsidy policy encourages huge over-production of grain, so ways have to be found to get rid of it such as feeding it to animals or making ethanol out of it, or making HFCS and putting it in drinks.
"Pre-settled" is essentially the same as "settled" status – the plan was that either of these would allow entry into the UK after December 2020, when free movement from the EEA was supposed to end.

There is currently no system in place to allow re-entry for people with either "settled" or "pre-settled" status (that's why this announcement is mad.) But your girlfriend should 100% absolutely as soon as possible make sure she has pre-settled status.

I've thought about whether I should respond to this or not. I think we got some wires crossed. This is a hot button issue and I don't want to kick off a flame war.

I was being glib, but I was not calling the US military a bunch of murderers. I was pointing out that it is extremely problematic to force military conscription to get permission to own a gun because gun ownership does not mean a person wants to or is capable to go to war and is willing or capable to take a life in a combat situation. Hell, some people that might want/need a gun may not even be fit for service. Like my grandmother living on her farm alone before she passed.

What I was calling dumb was the proposal that OP posted. I feel like maybe you got the opposite read of my intention because of the flip nature of my post and I think it's a good idea to clarify. Many apologies.

I support and respect military service people for being willing to take risks and sacrifice in ways I could not, but I do not think that should be mixed into being a qualifier for ownership of a firearm.
Perhaps they chose not to because the current definition of computer clearly covers phones. Which is why this is making headlines.
The fact that the UK government isn’t able to understand the inherent contradiction in “controlling your borders” and having an “open border” is remarkable.

Further, that they insist this contribution can be solved by “future technology” but cannot actually point to any such future technology only adds to the farce.
Yes, this is more convincing, but is still a little concerning. Given current interest rates, presumably these people 'gifted' the 5% loans could have already borrowed money at lower cost, they just wouldn't have had any access to throw the money into the vision fund.

Perhaps the borrowers can take the cash, invest it, then borrow elsewhere at lower rates to pay back the more expensive loan? In all, it still seems a vastly complicated scheme for the attested goals. I guess that there are tax reasons behind it all.

Programming language design and implementation is a huge and hard problem. What you get is an incomplete frustrating language full of semantic oddities and confusions without any serious support tooling to help you out.

If you use it in anger, you quickly need all language features e.g. importing libraries, namespaces, functions, data-structures, rich string manipulation etc. But you rarely get these.

At run-time, you don’t have a debugger or anything leading to a maddening bug fix experience because config cycle times are really high.

Because it’s a niche language, only one poor soul in a team ends up the expert of all the plentiful traps.

Eventually... you give up and end up generating the config in a proper language and it feels like a breath of fresh air.
Does it agree? Or is the average person just too uninformed and powerless to do anything about it, particularly because sinister effects of such procedures are long-term and hard to see?

This is one regulation in one state. Do you think that even impacts things like dirty diapers, one of the items that was strewn over the news? Of course not.

If you're thinking people are paying ~ $1,200/container to ship plastics to Malaysia without anyone paying on the other end, it would have to be pretty darn hard to throw stuff out in the U.S. And clearly it's not.

The stuff in the news is fraud, the same as if you ordered something from Amazon, paid for it, and you didn't get what you paid for.
Awesome, back to 51 points. Is it because I'm talking about karma and get automatically downvoted? I don't usually mention karma and yet still my little 1 point doesn't get added to my "score."

Considering the Windrush scandal the UK doesn't exactly have the best track record with dealing with immigration issues.

The authorities might - either conveniently or due to incompetence - lose relevant documents in the future, at which point you might not be able to prove anymore that you've already had a leave to stay in the UK before 31 October 2019.

This also might be used as leverage in upcoming negotiations with the EU.
I meant that you hadn't been posting comments for a while, so obviously you weren't going to get karma.

Now you're posting again hopefully you'll make interesting comments that people think are worth a click.
He's pretty much right. Your phone is owned and operated by Google or Apple, not by you. It's a "computer" in the narrow sense that it's device with a CPU, but not a "personal computer".

Maybe chaos is what the UK government is aiming at this point. They are using EU residents as hostage to get what they want, not sure what that might be though.
Up until this announcement:

"…temporary transitional arrangements will apply from 31 October 2019 to provide some continuity for EU citizens and businesses in the UK. The transition period will be in place until 31 December 2020."

This was essentially "continue free movement for a bit until we get a new immigration system in place". This announcement suggests that this is no longer the case. It's unlikely to happen because it will be literal chaos, but it's important not to underestimate the incompetence of the current UK government.
This proposal, like many others, tries to make the "information wants to be free" meme a reality by making data "about us" a commodity that can be purchased and sold in the market.

But it misses the important question of why we, in the first place, are allowing personal and behavioural data to be a commodity. It's not, and should not be: not everything needs to be a good to be traded, in the same sense that we have decided that you can't trade ownership of a person in the free market.
That was the previous approach mentioned in the article, which is now dead as the bill likely wouldn't get through the House of Commons.
Apparently you would see this commonly in hardware design back in the day because one of the compilers picked this up and mapped it to a look up table in the right way where other expressions might not be picked up correctly. I could easily see the same trick working in a software compiler too.
I live in the Netherlands and in our scout group, we regularly do nighttime droppings in which the children between the ages of 11-15 have to find their way back not knowing where they were dropped.

We also sent them out sailing by themselves all day across the lake. They have to navigate and set up their tent on the sailboat themselves. We only check up on them once before nighttime and then sail back to our own campsite, which may be an hour or more by boat. The next morning they pack up their stuff, prepare the boat and set sail to travel back to the campsite (half-day sailing depending on the wind conditions).

HABLO isn't a baby monitor . Today , Parents precisly new parents are almost engaged ( work, meetings... ) +baby crying is like annoying and depressed things so we propose a solution that could be a relief for this problem and genrally parents don't know why his baby is crying so we can facilitate the communication between them
I think the issue here is the price. It’s definitely premium end and it makes it hard to justify as a regular spend for most people.
I'm not sure what you're claiming here: that the authors used the wrong definition for VaR, or that they misread their own definition. Either way, they look correct to me. VaR is a probabilistic upper bound on the loss: You can be 99% sure the loss is no greater than VaRβ, though it may be much less or (in the finance case) negative.
> FYI, The Independent has a reputation for writing ridiculous clickbait articles. When you look into the details things almost always turn out to be much less dramatic than the article made it sound.

While more reputable news sources have not yet picked up this story, if it is indeed true, there is a very marked difference between what is claimed in the article and what has been said by the government to date. The article claims that the Home Secretary will attempt to enact secondary legislation to end freedom of movement, while the gov.uk link in your tweet claims that it will be done ASAP through primary legislation.

If true this is an important difference as we likely won't know until close to the October 31st deadline whether no deal is actually going to happen (though it is clearly more of a risk now than ever), and it implies that the government plan not to wait until they achieve a majority in parliament for the bill to abolish freedom of movement, but instead plan to abolish it any way they can.
It might be a problem but it’s definitely intended by Apple. FaceTime, too.

That links to https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-immigration-af... which also says:

> 5. Once free movement has ended from 31 October 2019(1), EU citizens and their family members arriving in the UK will be admitted under UK immigration rules and will require permission (leave to enter or remain). Unlike EU free movement, this will not be a rights-based system so those who do not hold valid immigration permission to be in the UK will be here unlawfully and may be liable to enforcement action. This is a crucial difference between UK immigration law and EU free movement law, which does not require permission from the Home Office for a person to be here lawfully.

So, what happens to an EU national who is ordinarily resident in the UK but has left briefly and is now returning to the UK? What exactly happens at the border? Which documents do they present to guarantee re-entry?

(You quote below the statement that they will be able to show an EU passport, but of course that does not constitute "valid immigration permission to be in the UK")

I’ve found it very flaky on iOS - regularly try to transfer between my phone and my wife’s sitting next to each other and it will randomly not see the other phone or take minutes to find it :(

I've worked in a company where I enforced as a PM to write Technical Document of every project we did along with the PID, the Functional Document (design and interactions). That Technical Document was all about to describe the essentials, and not go deeper into every single class written. It was intended for those developers who wanted to join the team and update that old project. With it was useful document and barely updated.
They are not using AirDrop to bypass the GFW for themselves, they are using it to spread information to citizens that are otherwise normally subject to GFW and therefore only have government-approved or government-generated information available to them.

Mainland news put HK protesters as violent, rebellious youngsters that are causing trouble and injury to everyone else by having greedy demands of something better than what mainland has. Such story leads to minimal sympathy and curiosity.

Even knowing that this information is filtered, few will end up truly questioning it, and thus even when they leave GFW, they will not know that there is conflicting information to find.
The problem that we solve is the communication between baby and parents.
for distribution we are now developping the hardware in tunisia and the device is like a station to pass the cry but the analysis of cry is in the cloud .The production of the device will be in tunisia so the price will be for sure under 10 $ so we have the control on the price but the app will be for free and it's like one shot

Coded the "normal" way, you get this:

if(githubUrl) {
return config.github;
}
if(twitterUrl) {
return config.twitter;
}
return {
to: '',
...
};

IMO this is both clearer and easier on the eyes. Can anyone show me an example of this `switch` pattern that actually makes it better than the obvious if-based version?

I mean, given that they're early returns, you don't need any `else` statements. And in situations where you couldn't use early returns, the `switch` pattern would require `break;` statements. That would make that code uglier to the same extent as adding `else`s above. What am I missing?

I believe you are quoting from [1].

The document from January very clearly states that free movement would end immediately (or as soon as practicle) in case of no deal.

E.g. "5. Once free movement has ended from 31 October 2019"

As I wrote previously this is nothing new.

The transitional arrangements are for EEA citizens already in the UK, and I haven't read anything that suggests they want to change that.

What kind of love do you mean? Then 'opposite' isn't always uniquely defined. e.g. the opposite of 3, is it -3 or 1/3 or 9 (on a clock) or something else?... It depends what kind of 'opposite'. What's the opposite of green?
Now that YC has deal flow from more established companies, it no longer needs to take the same kind of risk.
That's a very misleading quote.

The new Home Secretary wants to institute a different regime from day one of no deal, which deviates from original plans and creates a whole range of issues for EU nationals with and without settled status who are resident.

While it is aimed at voters to show that they'll be treating new arrivals differently, the systems and laws and all of the bodies that deal with EU nationals are not equipped to differentiate between existing residents and new arrivals.

Only about a third of EU nationals have applied for settled status and this new messaging from the incoming Home Secretary is saying the hostile environment measures must be eagerly applied to all EU nationals without it. Employers, landlords, banks, health service providers and border officials all have the burden to verify a person's legal status and the majority of EU nationals will be unable to demonstrate their status from day one. Their status furthermore isn't protected by primary legislation and for most people only amounts to being in a digital system that must be checked online.

Most parties involved in having to check resident's status is not trained in doing that, in so far it is even practicable from day one of no deal. And it most certainly will create discrimination, making it more likely that those that have a harder time demonstrating their rights will be unfairly rejected or skipped over, or be faced with additional burdens to prove status.

The real world consequences for people affected could be not finding a place to rent, being evicted, losing a bank account or being unable to open one, being denied health services or being asked to pay for services that should be free, being denied a job, being let go, or simply being skipped over by employers. This all can happen to people who have been in the UK for decades but are unable to easily demonstrate their status. This is not hypothetical stuff, this already happens but the occurrence would jump up by an order of magnitude as the result of the course taken here.
"the current definition of computer clearly covers phones"

A small percentage of people would use the word 'computer' to describe a smartphone, let along a featurephone.

Imagine you ask a random person one of these questions:

A) Do you own a computer that has a touch-screen?

B) The computer you use most - how big is it?

C) Do you have a computer that can make a phone call to a landline number?

If the most common answers are:

A) Yes

B) In the range 4" - 7"

C) Yes

Then I would agree that the definition of 'computer' includes smartphones. If it includes smartphones, it might also include featurephones.
Yeah.

And I can always pick up my phone to actually show something I recently liked in the gallery or as a product.

Also a phone is a great way to tell a story when you also have pictures of something you’d like to share in person.
D Language Blog – Bug Bounties Have Arrived
Yeah never really liked switches because of the "breaks".
Switch statements are a more like goto, and are more low level. I tend to do:

if (xx) {
} else if (yy) {
} else {
// maybe some exception for unhandled value
}

And to align my ifs:

if (false) {
} else if (xx) {
} else if (yy) {
} else {
// maybe some exception for unhandled value
}

But then team members and tooling start to complain about dead code.
As i said the production will be in tunisia so we can have control on price .For the distribution we have two channels the first will be through online marketplace Amazon .The second through the babies shops. What do you think ? Now we want to collect data to know how american market react on our product because we're gonna launch firstable in french market and after we look to test the US Market

None, that's why this whole thing is a farce. Once you register for the Settlement Scheme you do get an email confirming that you did, that's all. But you don't legally have to apply for it until next year anyway, so you might have the full legal right to reside in the UK and not have any document to prove it.

Have they suggested that EU citizens would need a visa to enter the UK?

People would have a permanent residence certificate will have something to show.
Bugs I have seen in actual code are divided into two types: those that are due to the way code inter-operates with other code (sort of integration bugs) and tricky bugs (usually edge cases) in some highly dense code.

The first type requires the candidate to learn a lot about the existing code base. The second requires more mental work but is atypical of real work.

Implementing features sounds like a good idea. Perhaps create a small well defined system which is a simplification of the real world system and let the candidate implement some additional features.

Until you discover that for example Android Auto is banned in your whole country, while being completely functional after sideloading the apk. And the only reason why there aren't hundreds of millions people sideloading apps (yet) is relatively slow rate of car upgrades. This is only one example.
This gets increasing complicated with third-country dependants of EU citizens thrown into the mix. There are significant numbers of people in this situation living in the UK or entering on a regular basis. Brexit is a complete omnishambles and indicative of wider problems in British media and political discourse.
