Seven God-Like Bash History Shortcuts You Will Use
Meddling with foreign elections is the quickest way to create inner turmoil and conflict. Instead of busying themselves with creating a functioning democracy, you've just created an illegitimate system which will be destroyed from the inside-out, while provoking hate for the meddling party. I don't see the upside here unless you intend to (and are able to) keep it a secret for forever or unless turmoil and suffering is your goal.
I don't understand why you would like an audiobook. The bandwidth of a speaker is 100 words/min while reading is around 300 words/min, a significant difference that will compound in years over a lifetime. I never have the feeling I have enough time. Anyway If you can't innovate litigate.
3-phase is better future proof system.
Electric stoves, dryers, oven, and soon EV chargers are everywhere.
Aye, some of the implicit societal assumptions are rather hard to read, or comical from today's perspective. From the era when Western confidence was probably at its height, there's a presumption in everything that Christianity, Western society and values are the right ones. That empire is a force for good - but quietly not mentioning both sides, or the deprivation caused, and this right after the scramble for Africa. Though King Leopold's "Free" Congo is a catalogue of atrocity, that was infamous even back at the height of Empire building.

Yet see current stories on the Arctic and competing moves to develop and claim it, and it doesn't seem so very different, just who's playing has changed.

Then there's the extensive coverage of anachronisms that have changed hugely or vanished; like the hierarchy of flowers, class, the importance of the King's English (received pronunciation), obsolete medical treatments, crime and punishment and so on.
I think the previous poster was referring to the unnecessary `=== true` part.
In general, in a multi-core/massively-concurrent&&parallel world, copying small, immutable data-structures is preferred. The big reason is cache hits and minimizing contention for cache lines. If you have small data structures at different addresses (that map to different cache lines), then the memory subsystem isn't stepping all over itself with RAR/WAR/RAW hazards because the copies of data structure became essentially independent of each other after the copy finished and wrote-back to L2/L3.
This file could be made much better by having comments pointing to reasonable alternatives to the banned functions.
Yeah, so encouraged by being ostracized from normal social activities and being called nerds.
If you couldn’t hear, why would you buy an audiobook when there is a text version available? That’s like suing a store because you can’t walk up the stairs when they have a ramp available.
I think Putin is quite popular in Russia and would have won in a free and fair election.
Not modern stoves. Buy anything from the past few years and it's almost certainly just comes with a 240V plug
This is why, when people complain about cubicles, I tell them how much better a cubicle is than open floor plan.

I have had private offices, two person offices, cubicles, and once in a bull pen with a glass wall. (we called it 'the fish bowl').

Private office comes in first! Cubicle (as long as the walls are at least five feet) comes in a close second.

Open floor plan (or a bull pen) comes in far far far last.

>What made the recession in 2008 the Great Recession was the failure of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury to prevent Lehman Brothers from collapsing.

I'm not sure that's true - what made it big was the epic borrowing to buy property that pushed up prices to record levels before hand. The Lehman thing was just the pin that popped the bubble. It was going to burst big one day because of the size of the thing.

It makes you doubt the rest of the reasoning if the first sentence is incorrect.
The "right" solution to get a quiet login is to

touch ~/.hushlogin

in your home directory.

It's documented in the login(1) man page.

There's also a global /etc/hushlogins file you can create to take care of all users.
It would be more than that.
Wakefield is a guiding light name in the anti-vacc community. This would severely water down the effectiveness of his name...

And especially in todays search engine driven world of "self education" that could be amazingly effective.
In general Rust emphasises semantics over implementation side-effects. For example you use a pass-by-value because you're semantically moving ownership of the value to the function, not because the implementation may be faster/slower at the assembly level. Not nailing down the implementation is what allows the compiler to make so many optimisations.

If you need concise pointer control, use the unsafe trapdoor built into rust (like Rust's Vec). If you need very specialised code use assembly, not by abusing language side-effects like Duff's Device. If you need fast number crunching use the specialised library for it, not by writing a magic for loop with just the right amount of statements in it.

I admit that sometimes you need to micro-optimise, but I haven't come across this case much in my Rust code. When I do I usually hinder more then help it.
You've misspelled the "stripes" ID for the header background. Should have been "fyipes".
They're well within their rights in doing that, but the movie industry at least kinda understood that if you want to attract customers and minimize piracy, your best option is to minimize friction and let them watch it on the platform they want.

I bought many blu-rays that came with the DVD version and an UltraViolet code.

It made the choice of buying the blu-ray copy a much simpler choice at a time I didn't have a blu-ray player yet, and it still meant I could watch the DVD version noe, and watch the improved HD copy later.

At least some book publishers offers you the ebook versiin when you purchase a hardcopy, but it's still not universal.

If they want to minimize piracy, their best option is to make their content available in many ways as possible.

I'm not saying the movie industry got it nailed (they still have a long way to go), but they definitely are better than the book industry now.
unsurprisingly, cato wants to make burbclaves.

legally, this is an impossiblity. See Texas v. White (1861)

The Union of the States never was a purely artificial and arbitrary relation. It began among the Colonies, and grew out of common origin, mutual sympathies, kindred principles, similar interests, and geographical relations. It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war, and received definite form and character and sanction from the Articles of Confederation. By these, the Union was solemnly declared to "be perpetual". And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained "to form a more perfect Union". It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words.
I get where you are comming from, though had this been a BBC link or something more acceptable within social-media TLD's for source, would the response be the same.

But yes, it may be a case of over-positivism as I call it, being so optimistic that a natural disaster is viewed from the prism of - that's good news. More so when one natural disaster can be perceived as a solution to another disaster, albeit one in which we played a part. Heck, it's even possible to say that this volcano underwater would not of erupted had we not changed the climate.

But however we look at it, it would be nice to see some more balanced perspectives without the over-positive spin. Will this heat up the ocean in the vicinity due to it absorbing more heat, will it starved of oxygen as it blocks photosynthesis in the area it travels. Those tangents of thought get overlooked, yet have just as much plausibility than latching onto how this is the saviour of the coral reef.

But one question I have - pumice volcanic rock, what gas is trapped in that rock?
0. Generously use black_box

Although Comenia Script was very hyped, it hasn't become very widespread. Last data I'm aware of gave percentage of schools using it at only 4 percents.

Sure, but not yet on 7nm. Maybe sometime during 2020 that will happen, but there's no public roadmap that I know of that states AMD 7nm mobile processors will be available in X quarter of Y year.
In Greece three phasing power is optional and very few houses choose it. Normal power output for a house is at 8KWh which is enough to operate most appliances simultaneously. A typical electrical stove won't consume more than 2-2,5KWh.
Apple has a history of playing nice with copyright holders and allowing them to opt out of things like screen capture and even playing audio in the background on web pages (see YouTube)
Strange that the homepage is a direct copy of the [stripe](https://stripe.com) homepage.
But Google decided that's not actually what you wanted to do and removed that feature.

Funnily enough the blank page extension was made by a Chrome developer, so I assume there were some team internal tensions and those who wanted to keep that feature were overridden..
I've seen non-induction electric stove in many brand new swedish apartments, and they are still sold and installed.

Are you sure you have not seen any halogen stove at all in the last 10 years in modern construction ? That seems very odd, I see quite a few of them in France as well.
On a thread about rabbit holes, it seems safe to suggest that “peddle” was the verb you were looking for.
Well, that's not at all a fair comparison. Who knows what that one core is doing? Not all algorithms are parallelizable, in fact most aren't. So doing standard, everyday things in code might still max out a core.
> You're more likely to get three phase in countries where electrical stoves, ovens, and even house heating are more common (Germany being the most obvious example).

As I wrote in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20799176, in Germany, electrical house heating is very uncommon.
Vault Cannot Be Deleted as There Are Existing Resources Within the Vault
The manufacturer incurs a lot of liability by setting the oil maintenance window so high. So I don’t think they would do that without data to support this requirement.

If the oil filter truly couldn’t last, then there would be many more failures. Which would be payable by the manufacture (either through warranty or class action law suit).

Based on this simple analysis, I believe the manufacturer docs vs. a mechanic with no skin in the game who also makes money from frequent oil changes.
I agree 7 days is not enough to see the value.

All source code eventually "wears out" and has to be rewritten.
>If they add a keyboard and notepad that lets me take audio myself, then where is the significant difference in adding software that makes it easier for me to do the transcription? Is there a certain level of ease that anything easier than that becomes illegal?

Yes. The level of ease where a technology impacts other businesses/versions of material (e.g. the audio book industry here) it is made illegal.

If it's unrealistic/inconvenient as to not have impact, it's ignored.
Very similar to saying "the cause of the building collapse was the stiff summer breeze".

One bankruptcy should not cause a collapse.
This article is the definition of what's wrong with journalism. So many assumptions that aren't supported with facts and just proposed as facts; with an extreme amount of one sided bias.

If you actually 'understand economics' which is more about 'understanding that you don't understand economics'

One thing is for sure is that we are wealthier now than ever before in history. In 1969 how many households had infinite knowledge at their hands? How many even had basic appliances?

>The rise of economics is a primary reason for the rise of inequality.

It's literally supply/demand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_force_in_the_United_Stat...

As women entered the workforce, men left the workforce. Which isn't a bad thing, talented women are now contributing to society and displaced the incompetent men.

Those men however are still looking for a job and so we have greater supply and same demand. It means those people at minimum wage are competing with each other and driving their wages down.
We’ve been through several CRM evaluations since Highrise went into maintenance-updates only.

During that time, we’ve seen some terribly unintuitive software and other offerings that look as though they’ll be great but lack some key feature.

Every CRM has a gotcha that you won’t find until you use it in anger.

IMO, seven days is not enough but I also think no evaluation is long enough unless you have the resources to run it fully in parallel to your existing process.
How would you best factor that into maintenance costs?
In rats.

Let me get this straight...

1) Take a book

2) Record someone reading it out-loud.

3) Use a robot to listen to the words and write them down as a book.

Nice example to use when teaching 'Lean'. Let me just draw the value stream...
Sounds like you should play that audio book and start typing.
So the Cesium you see at the bottom is actually a new startup they spun out of AGI (note the letter order, very different from AIG).

They build an open-source WebGL-based competitor to Google Maps' engine.

Patrick Cozzi, the driving force behind the technology is one of both the smartest and nicest people I've met during my career.
Well, my experience is Netherland, where we have 3-phase current, gas stoves, gas heating, and electrical ovens. And people are increasingly switching to induction stoves simply because they can and induction is nice.

When I was a kid in the 1970s, we did have a gas oven, but soon replaced it with an electrical oven that still had a gas stove on top. The simple fact is that electrical ovens are safer and more practical than gas ovens, while gas stoves were more practical than electrical stoves before induction stoves became available.

So having access to both 3-phase current and gas, we make our choices based on what's convenient rather than on what we're forced to use.
Really? It's easy to do other stuff while listening to an audio book. I consume most of my books driving this way. The alternative is to not read as I have better stuff to do.
They will probably go down pretty soon, when Stripe finds out about this blatant copyright infringement.
Nope. At least not according to [0][1].

I don't see why you would be. You aren't permitted to manually copy a book to notepaper, either. The whole point of copyrights are, after all, to manage the rights to copy.

You can feel the fatigue with central banks all around the world. It's obvious this small group of people shouldn't hold this power and it's clear they have no idea what they're doing and are just moving levers like our lives are their video games.

This will not manifest as a revision of the system but rather the changing of who is pulling those levers. The funny money will go to Workers not Bankers and Shareholders and Homeowners next decade (which starts in four months btw!)
my 2cents: take a look at the zbook mobile workstations from HP. Those are real workhorses, but not pretty on the outside, if that is you thing. And you can get a nice price drop getting last year model, without compromising performance...
I've started doing linux / BSD kernel development very lightly. It all started because my supposedly supported network card wasn't working in FreeBSD. I still dont know shit, and it seems impossible to keep up, but its the most fun I've had programming in years.
The first one in the line is Argentina, which is about to default the biggest loan the IMF ever gave.

Argentina defaulting would not affect any other countries significantly: but it holds over 60% of IMF's financial assets and has the will to default on this debt.

The IMF losing more than half its holdings means that there wouldn't be a lender of last resort for sovereign debt issues.

For me, English is not my mother tounge, audiobook is way better than reading it. And also I find myself difficult to stay focus while reading a book, but no problem when listening to a audiobook.
The few bits of automation hubspot do have, you end up fighting to behave well. It’s so hard to organise data in hubspot that you’ll end up negating any benefits from the automation. In my experience, it all becomes messy quickly.

I’d probably rank it as the worst bit of software I’ve ever used. The apis are inconsistent and incomplete. You can have multiple email addresses for a contact, but you can never extract them over the api and the only the primary is treated as a first class citizen. The interface somehow manages to portray the least amount of useful information in the largest amount of space I’ve ever seen. Updating anything is so painful that it’s hard to motivate yourself to do it.

Eh, not really. Not all engineers work in high-pressure environments where focus is essential. Some senior engineers really enjoy teaching others. Some of the best mentors I've learned from were the ones who were happy to spend an entire Friday afternoon showing me how they would solve an interesting problem.
You mean Tesla. SolarCity was bankrupt and worthless nearly when Musk overpaid for it.
I listen on my commute. While doing yard work. While resting my eyes. In many situations where I can’t read.

I also read a lot so these aren’t exclusive activities. Sometimes I even read the book and listen to the book at different times. Audible syncs up pretty nicely.

I also listen to some material at 1.5x or 2x.
Interaction between devs is unavoidable, at the code review stage if not sooner. Pair programming provides tighter feedback loops and helps get things done quicker than playing CR tennis after a lot of hours have been sunk into something.
Impressive to see how the design decisions of Clojure hold up so well 10 years later.

How to compare and merge source code in Visual Studio 2019
I can listen to audiobooks whilst driving at 100 words/min. My reading rate drops well below 300 words/min whilst driving.

Using otherwise dead time multiplies my 'reading' time.
My biking commute is about 80 minutes per day, 1984 is about 10 hours audiobook, so for me it is just using those 80 minutes.
What I find weird is that there is a difference in performance.

If the compiler is smart enough to inline, it should be able to notice that the way arguments are passed make no difference and use the most efficient way regardless of the signature. Do I overestimate the abilities of compilers, or maybe there is some side effect I am not aware of (concurrency?).

Obviously, it only applies when inlining.
Exactly. So single-core performance wins.

Depends on the requirements. I've had many internal-only applications only require one language: English. At that point you can hard code many things, which skips the loading other files, checking different languages, etc.

In most programs, if you get accepted into the Ph.D. program, you're funded. Obviously, you should check first.

There are a few candidates for a crisis, sovereign debt is one. At this point corporate debt is no less scary.

>I think I need something better than that. You are talking about 2 physical items, I don't think anyone would argue just because you buy 1 product off the shelf doesn't mean you are entitled to the rest of the shelf

The whole publisher intention behind copyright and license rights is that you shouldn't think of digital products any differently than you think of physical products on a shelf.

In other words, the idea is that just because a digital product costs $0 to copy it doesn't mean it doesn't harm them business wise to make one and not pay them. A physical book/cd doesn't cost as much as its sold either -- it usually costs way way less. So "cost of physical copy" shouldn't be thought as the differentiator...
"The most disturbing attribute of a social credit system is not that it’s invasive, but that it’s extralegal. Crimes are punished outside the legal system, which means no presumption of innocence, no legal representation, no judge, no jury, and often no appeal. In other words, it’s an alternative legal system where the accused have fewer rights."

Also, what if you disagree with me politically about illegal immigration - does that give you a "right" to ban me from your establishment? Imagine it on the other side as well for people who are against abortion.
