Recently worked at a company doing similar to this to support Windows and macOS.

To add to the difficulty, they used Chromium as a UI front end much like Electron. All built in house though.

They hired me as a JS/HTML/CSS dev, but same as the article states, the C++ work was the true bottleneck.

They knew I had some C++ chops and set me to work doing C++ with a sprinkle of JS here and there.

Due to incompatibilities in the compilers, there was a rats nest of dependencies, thousands of #ifdef’s to cover differing OS implementations, and we had to use some of the oldest versions of C++ to be compatible with both XCode and Visual Studio.

As the article states, we had custom background job libraries and debugging them was a nightmare.

Also similar to the article, we spent more time than one ever should setting up builds to handle our ludicrously complicated build configurations.

And lastly, as the article stated, we had a hard time finding new talent to cover the growing amount of work required to deliver our product. There just aren’t many C++/JS devs out there.
Why Would Anyone Sell an Ecommerce Site That Is Making Money
I'm pretty sure this is what nvidia DLSS does. Only this works much better than DLSS I think.
The mechanism is specifically: a muscle (stapedius) attached to one of the bones of the inner ear (stapes) pulls it away, effectively breaking the sound conduction pathway.

This mechanism does not wear out. It can, however, be disrupted by damage to the muscle in question, or to the nerve innervating that muscle, or the portion of brain controlling that nerve.

However, you can still conduct sound without the stapes in place. It’s less effective - that’s why the bones of the inner ear are there at all - but in loud settings, and certainly in conditions where you can conduct sound effectively to the bones of the skull (eg, headphones), you can still pass enough sound to the cochlea to damage your hair cells.
Unfortunately they don't devote any attention to longevity or serviceability. But yes the safety features are excellent.
Nothing about a shipping container is particularly inadequate for residential use. It's an empty box, exactly like the empty shell of a stick-built American house. You wouldn't live inside a stick frame house just because it has four sides, you have to keep building onto and into it until it's done.
Was there much blood of organized labor spilled during wartime? I thought that it was a time of more or less labor peace.
Airline flights can be tracked online, eg at https://flightaware.com

For parts of the Pacific there is no coverage, not because GPS doesn't work there, but because there are no ground stations to pick up the telemetry from the airplanes. Such flights take off, fly over the ocean, then "disappear" for a few hours, then reappear when they approach Australia.

Flat Earthers take this to be evidence of the cover-up.
> Rear wheel drive, which is common in mb and bmw cars are a real danger in winter.

It's up to the consumer: if you want a safe winter car, both BMW and MB will sell you an all-wheel-drive vehicle.

If you want to spend less, save weight, and have an enjoyable oversteer experience, they'll sell you a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Two quakes in two days, no warning from ShakeAlertLA
This is precisely the experience of my startup trying to rely on flutter. It's a constant battle. Moreover Android and iOS are different implementation with different capability with constantly evolving API. It's hard to keep cross platform code in sync many #ifdef with edge cases.

Moreover with REST API architecture majority of the common code is in back-end. So building in Swift and kotlin for respective platform is not as tedious.

Their sales and marketing was $370m/$1350m or 27% of revenue. Is that in line with industry norms?

I think it makes little sense to express Sales & Marketing expense as a percentage of Net Income...

You could express it in terms of New Revenue Growth, to get a feel for customer acquisition cost, and then look at churn to get a feel for lifetime value and payback periods... if you wanted to analyze them like a "SaaS" type business.
The article covers that, in brief:

Tuberculosis germs burrow deep into the lungs and barricade themselves inside clumps of dead cells. Breaking those nodules apart and killing all the bacteria inside requires taking drugs for months.
No need to apologize or delete, friend. (We are outside the time limit for the latter anyhow.) These topics rile us up and I was also concerned I took it too far or rushed too much. So please accept my apologies too.
I've also been wondering if there is something similar to Content Aware Fill that can help process old 4:3 cartoons to 16:9.

A lot of the really old cartoons would use a background art image and would pan over it with the characters dong stuff to create a sense of motion. Sometimes the characters would move over a still background image but the 'camera's would zoom in.

Something that could extract the full size background image to apply it to the frames to enlarge the aspect ratio could go a long way toward revitalizing a lot of older cartoons. Especially fit could fill in any gaps using the opensource equivilent of Content Aware Fill (is there an FOSS equal?)

I've been trying to get my kids into Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Home Movies, Sealab 2021, the Simpsons, etc. If the video is wide screen they try it and enjoy it. If it's 4:3 they barely give it a chance because it's "too old"
My father -- born in 1922, grew up in The Great Depression -- always said "The best way to double your money is fold it in half and stick it in your pocket."

There are no guarantees in life (except maybe death and taxes). They seem to be taking reasonable precautions. They don't deserve to be lambasted for being a bit green and failing to phrase their comment like smarmy con artists pretending there is zero risk -- just trust me (wide, toothy grin).
Modern day traction control systems have taken the majority of danger from power oversteer out of cars.

But then the only advantage you get in winter driving comes from fitting tyres (or tyre chains) appropriate to the conditions.

A personal CRM should be federated. I shouldn't need to keep my friend's contact details up to date manually. If they run a digital address book of some kind, my software should just ask their software for the latest data and subsequently update my local data. This should be an open protocol like email or calendaring.
Thanks! I bought two iOS devices to develop on, but I haven't ever used the Messages app. Does it animate the drawing for the recipient, or just show the final image?
There is no ground truth because AFAIK there are no native 4k anime produced yet. There are _very_ few produced at 1080p. Most 1080p that are released by studios are just an upscaled 720p master. Fansubbers will sometimes release their own upscaled 720p when the studio upscale was done very poorly.

To my knowledge, not much has changed since 2017 where only a single anime (Clockwork Planet) was produced in 1080p. The only two studios I can name offhand that I know have done 1080p masters are KyoAni and JC Staff.

Ugh, I wish this existed before I went to build a simpler extension to help remember my Facebook friends better! (http://trybackstory.com - shameless plug)

It's great that you support all the social sites - it was enough work for me just to integrate private notes and tags into Facebook. If only I had put in more time into Backstory to turn it from a side project into a full-fledged product like yours!

One thing I don't like is how intrusive the sidebar integrations are. They take up so much space that I can no longer see the other content in the sidebar at first glance. The Messenger integration also doesn't seem to be working for me.

Congrats on launch! I'm going to start using Dex, hope it helps me keep up with friends in the next few weeks! :)
Nope, western europe.
They add value in all cases by not needing 200mb memory to run what would be a 20mb app for native. It's crazy how my phone runs perfectly fine on 2gb ram but my laptop is swapping with 16gb just because slack, vscode and whatever else election app is running.
Increased profits from unknown sources VS decreased profits from known sources. The gained marketing intelligence may come at the cost of the bottom line.
I don't know enough details to say for sure, but some possibilities:

1. People may be more willing to learn Rust. I much prefer the language itself, but also it's clearly on the rise, so it may feel like a better learning investment.

2. The standard library is broader and the package ecosystem is easier to work with, so you might be able to have a more standard stack with fewer proprietary bits.

3. One complication with integrating multiple languages is making different memory management strategies coexist. Rust's type system seems to have ways of making that easier, e.g. neon-bindings.com
Actually, it is happening.

There are several European construction companies in Turkmenistan. Country is in crisis for past 3-4 years but, construction projects are going on. Siphoning lots of money for pro-government lobbying in Europe.
Its probably more along the lines of they can't/weren't willing to pay for the experienced senior C++ devs.

There are plenty of C++ devs out there (myself among them) that will jump ship for the right offer.

Should we just interpret these filings as CYA measures, or do they show the company preparing for an ugly legal battle with investors? Is it possible to tell the difference?

Unfortunately, the PowerPoint has other functions that require some written text, namely, it may be the only record of your project that anybody receives or has access to. It will be e-mailed to the people who didn't show up for your meeting. Your boss might incorporate some of your slides into his own PowerPoint. You might have written a lengthy report, but nobody reads any more, and your report will end up in some forgotten place.

Many have been the times when I've asked: "Can anybody tell me what happened?" and all I get back is a PowerPoint. That's it. Better make it count.
That Farey sequence is cool, but I’m a bit skeptical that it’s really useful as a general-purpose numeric format.

It’s dense around fractions with largish numerators and denominators, but sparser around small numerators, like 0, 1/2 and 1. That seems bad for many applications. It may be able to approximate pi quite well, but how about small angles close to 0?

If you know the range of numbers you’re going to store, just spreading the representations evenly seems like a natural choice -- normal fixed-point reals.

Floating-point seems like a pretty reasonable extension of that, when you don’t know in advance what the scale will be.
Funny I was in a rollover in a Honda Fit and did not experience any injury or even pain. Some pyrotechnic device fired to tension the seatbelt but I only knew because I could smell it.

I found myself hanging upside quite securely with my brain processing the strange sensation in being a place that was both highly familiar (my car) but entirely strange (being upside down.) I looked and saw that the back window had broken so I'd have an easy way to get out; I had time to plan my moves, then released the seatbelt and went out the back.

All modern cars meet very high standards for safety and these are improving all the time.
Pretty cool concept! You're basically letting people buy into your real estate hedge fund. :)

Something I didn't see addressed in the FAQ: Do I get to include closing costs and agent fees in my cost basis before determining your 20% cut?

If not I can see a case where appreciation was minimal and I actually lose money one you get your cut because those fees eat up all the appreciation.

Aren’t airbags essentially explosions going off in your face? Fancy car like mercedes probably has 10+ of them going off around you

Especially the one in the door right next to your head could be bad for your ears I imagine ...

Never thought of that before. Thanks for bringing it up
> The Mercedes is known for being more expensive than most, but in most cases, it's worth it, not only for the luxury, but for the extreme attention to detail they put into safety.

Citation needed. The little seatbelt tightening thing is cute but probably doesn't increase safety at all, and some cars in the 90s had a feature that would put the whole seatbelt on for you.
Using Webmaster Tools is not a good option since it requires you register with the exact company you are probably trying to not interact with.
I prefer front wheel drive but I was impressed with how a RWD Buick with traction control handled in the winter.
Perhaps, but as I already noted, every popular video that is demonetized costs YouTube a lot of money because they stream the video to millions of viewers but get no revenue to offset the costs of hosting and streaming. We all know the most important thing to every corporation, including YouTube, is to make as much money as possible, so barring some strong evidence to suggest otherwise, we need no other explanation than the obvious one: advertisers don't want to pay for ads in controversial videos.
Well, I guess if you can't actually drive the car, you will be safest of all.. :-)
I shot for newspapers for about five years, and virtually always used manual, as did my colleagues. The computer is good at calculating exposure but terrible at calculating my intent. And it also, if left on auto, often creates significant exposure differences between frames shot in the same situation, which is a pain in editing if you need to use more than one in the same spread.
Lately, I started to see a lot of activities on anti-government media. It barely existed in the country. Azatlyk was the only one.

Western media picked up (HBO, newspapers),number of social media pro and anti government "trolls" increased.

First time after the independence of Turkmenistan - singers, actors (the only influential people after president) talked about politics on social media channels (instagram, twitter). All of them had strikingly similarly outlined pro-government speech on "fake death of president".
Yes. That's the only reference i had for that name, too. I remember the scene where he was trying to bypass the checkin at the station and messed up his camouflage ...

He was pretending to be a woman.

One day i was in berlin on a train, and i swear i saw a woman looking exactly like this. Really terrifying. I had to stop looking at her, but i just couldn't believe what i saw.

It was like every moment Douglas-Quaid would appear after he'd run out of batteries for the cloak :)
Lower rates cause increased inflation. Rates are lowered by increasing the price of bonds, by buying them, e.g. "printing money".
There was a blogpost I read a few years back written by someone who damaged their hearing after dropping a porcelain toilet lid. They actually ran some back-of-the-envelope calculations to estimate the decibel level, I recall it being shockingly high.
You should use '__file__' for increased generality.

Note that you can also import a module and refer to its location on disk as 'module.__file__'. I may or may not have used this to modify a few core python modules in place.
You should track your internal estimates against Redfin instead/also. They tend to be more accurate, at least in the Bay Area.
Modern cars are very safe. But luxury cars had pre-tensioners in the 80’s already.

What do they have now that the rest of us will get in 2050?

It will be interesting to see what happens if the US ends up with negative interest rates. Japanese and EU banks won’t have assets they can buy to get yield from, nor will the US.

One could consider something like a Gold ETF where a percentage of the gold is sold every year to pay for the cost of storage as a negative interest rate cash alternative. You lose money every year too, but central banks can’t print it.
So you didn't launch an app at all; you launched a web page and submitted a single-site web browser to both app stores.
Schemer (later renamed Scheme) was invented to scheme against Actors reprising Conniver, which was invented to connive against Planner.

See the following for the current state of the art including the latest Actor approach to Eval, which is more modular and concurrent than the Eval in Lisp and Scheme:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3418003

The above article explains exactly how Actors are much more powerful than lambdas with mutable environments.
Mercedes is actually known for their engine longevity, reliability and serviceability.

Yes they have more issues with technology than other cars, but that's because they use more and newer technology than cheaper brands. [1]

Not sure either way, but if you keep play, the user should be able to click both play and pause without moving their mouse. currently, play appears a couple inches to the left of pause.
I don't remember much about it tbh. It would import contacts and let you add birthday info and other personal details and schedule follow ups. I don't think it was anything groundbreaking tech-wise, but the concept seemed unique at the time.

Trump won the genetic lottery and ended up with less than he started, so what was your point?
Huge disclaimer required here.

FR (front-engine, rear whe drive) cars do have less traction in snow because there is less weight over the rear wheels. This is correct.

But there is nothing unsafe about FR. It has been around since the dawn of the automobile and continues to be the layout of choice outside of econoboxes and mid-engine sports cars.

Mercedes-Benz also manufacture front wheel drive cars too, so feel free to purchase those instead.
I had the same thought, but then noticed that the jackets are company jackets.

"The inflation rate" generally means CPI-U[1] in the US or some similar "basket of goods" in other areas. So, this is correct, as we're usually looking at urban consumers, it would include rent but not housing.

As another poster mentioned, though, inflation or deflation as general concepts can refer to any price or cost that increases or decreases.

> Without the content creators youtube is worthless

Without ads YouTube is worthless to Google. Nonmonetized content isn't bringing revenue to Google. Sure, it has an indirect benefit in making YouTube a more attractive place to post monetized content, by it's not like creators get nothing out of it (which is why they post to YouTube rather than arranging other hosting, which is certainly valuable if less likely to be free and also likely to have less reach.)
Don't let the article's title fool you: none of these products are new, they have been available for a long time. The only difference is that the Juul was/is most popular with teens, so they were the ones punished.

Not always the case, obv, but this shuld be the general goal.
> Does it? Instead of routing in two dimensions you now need to do it in three. You then also need to take into account other actors who are also routing in three dimensions. There are no road delineators in the sky.

Well, the 3rd dimension is likely to remain fairly static for most of the trip. I don't see personal flying cars going up and down repeatedly for no reason unless there is an obstacle in the front and once high enough, there shouldn't be many of those.
'Setq' and 'rplacd' also do not provide the power of Actors.

It's so weird that this just sort of happened.

I don't think it was even 15 years ago that bottled water was like, a non-thing. It might sort of be in shops but people would laugh at it.

another code-sharing solution that everyone enjoy to ignore is Adobe AIR

in 2013, AIR was v3.6, now in 2019, AIR is v33.0

not only you share code via ActionScript 3 (something like TypeScript just available 10+ years ago)

but you can also develop ActionScript Native Extension (ANE) in C, C++, Objective-C, Java, C#, Swift, etc.

and it does not only publish to mobile it also publish to desktop

but that's OK, keep ignoring it
I'd rather take economic and business advice from the hobo outside my bus stop screaming at pigeons than take advice from Hank Paulson.
It baffles me that people think duplicating application code for every device is the way to go. Cross platform can be done correctly. I'm working on a stack that can natively target Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, MacOS, and Web. I couldn't imagine duplicating my code for each one of these devices. If something special needs to be done, I write an extension.

I have a feeling posts like these get upvoted because developers who make the native apps want to keep their jobs.
But those developers will always be needed for the native bridges, just not as many of them.
My Benz warns me from upcoming frontal crashes, applies extra pressure on the brakes in these circumstances and even automatically brakes as a last resort to reduce the impact when the crash is inevitable. This is actually a default feature on all new Mercedes.

This is an ever green topic that we aren't going to solve here, but for what is worth my take is that if you find someone that's self taught that nonetheless knows the asymptotic behavior of the common data structures and can fizzbuzz that's likely to be a better hire than a fresh CS degree applicant. Because you are less likely to get someone that "wants to work on interesting problems" or try to write a new project in Idris on the sly. But that said if you open the door to non-traditional applicants you are going to find yourself with a higher proportion that don't know O(1) from busy beaver and/or can't declare a variable in their supposed language of choice.
