I agree, but from spending a fair bit of time in both countries, America has a lot of advantages over Germany as well. For the poor, working, and lower-middle class, Germany is far better to live in without doubt, but for the well-off, it's a tougher comparison.

I would rattle things off, but it's more like an aggregate of small things rather than big things like "free healthcare", and I don't want to seem petty and discount the critical importance of healthcare and education. But as one example, if you want to create a tech startup, there are many reasons why it's better to do it in America than in Germany. Other people's lives matter more than fulfilling one's "Uber for dogs" startup fantasy or something, to be sure, but people optimize for different things given their personal circumstances.
You're already spending all this extra money to build your own USB cable when you can buy one online for $5, and you want some kind of quick disconnect that doesn't put strain on the USB port itself.

Might as well go whole hog and get something that looks badass.

Researchers and prototyping engineers generally don't seem concerned with ethics or consequences these days. Hard to be sure whether it's due to a pressure to publish or interest in chasing fame/revenue but there's lots of stuff like this being published lately. Even if some researchers opted not to chase this down there are always more people looking to push the boundaries.

The natural conclusion goes past revenge porn to revenge videos of beheadings, murders, etc that can be sent to friends or family members who aren't technically savvy enough to recognize fakes for what they are. Not to mention the existing phenomenon of blaming random civilians for murders and terror attacks - this will be far more convincing when it's paired with convincing fakes. It'll probably claim some lives.
I like the way you make the categories. Finally, someone calling a spade is a spade.

Eg. "Disasters and accidents" had disasters and accidents.

It did highlight how much of our news isn't the most uplifting of topics however.
Yes, sure, there's an isomorphism. Using that fact, is it then so trivial to show how this FSM approach works out if you don't have a binary tree to start with? I think it would make an interesting follow-up blog post. But failing that, it would have been nice to call out at the top that these are binary trees.

You're right, it's probably better to look at GDP overall, since that's basically the tax base theoretically.
And Stallman is very off-putting to many with how unabashed and unashamed he is about some of his more extreme progressive views. Unfortunately for him, that excludes almost half of the potential support he would receive.
""What is "valuable" to you?"" I think that these ideas of relativism are dying. I respect people that are good in their field. I value science and disparage things like alternative medicines.

"empirical personal experiences" - this is wrong, personal experience are not empirical.

Was my statement a gross generalization, sure. But;

-most grade school teachers have graduated with very liberal arts degrees,

-there has been a steady devaluation of degrees,

-many are young when they get hired as teachers, out of college,

-wealthy families pay for extra tutoring, and camps, (wealth has always been the best factor in determining academic success),

-in order to teach about something you need to know about something.

If eduction was supposed to be a meritocracy, its failed. It's a systemic failure, no one person is responsible, no one person can save the educational system. Economy and class matter more than education, is the lesson of the last 30 years. Realists and pessimists have long concluded that the purpose of the educational system is to work as a babysitter, it's cost effective.
If you want to buy one right this second, get the Vortex Race 3 with Clears. They sound and feel fantastic, and the aluminum case with the DSA PBT keycaps makes for a great build quality overall.

If you want to spend some time deciding, we should go over what kind of keyswitch and what kind of layout you want. This [1] is a pretty good overview of the different kinds of layouts (60%, tenkeyless, fullsize) and linear vs tactile switches. You can listen to sound tests for any switch on youtube to get a better idea for how quiet it'll be. I personally use a Poker 2 with brown switches for 90% programming/10% CS:GO, and I love it.

I have a Sculpt because it's a lot easier to take with me for long travel than the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, but it's a lot less comfortable in my opinion for $30 more.
More on Bill Benter. From what I heard, his model had worked well for a while, then faltered. It suffered large drawdowns, which is typical of machine learning models on behavioral data with feedbacks. The betting patterns could/have changed in response to the model predictions.
There's no evidence in this article or the cited articles that Uber/Lyft are seeking to subvert public transportation or are working with the Koch organization. It says they are partnering with public agencies to supplement mass transit. This might be part of a bigger scheme, but there's no evidence presented that they are lobby against public transit at all.
I don't understand how 'swipe from the left' can be used as a universal back gesture. Isn't it the case that most apps use that gesture already to open a menu?

Then again I still miss having physical back and home buttons since I upgraded to a newer android phone. It would be nice if manufactures added more buttons to the side of the phone so the other fingers have something to do.
Somewhat off-topic, but this is a great example of a problem with StackOverflow/StackExchange that a lot of folks pointed out in a thread yesterday [0]: the accepted answer is terrible but is shown at the top, and a much better answer (with clear community consensus, given the vote counts) is below it. Why not show the best answer first?

I've had a bunch of cellular ISPs over the years, and I've noticed that cellular infrastructure providers have this capability, but MVNOs seemingly do not.
Software has a very big advantage here: only systematic failures possible, no random failures.

With hardware you have to always worry about some "physical" error, and if the hardware doesn't have sufficient diagnostics, you will never find out in software, because after whitening even a constant zero series from hardware looks indistinguishable from the failure-free output.
GitHub-Explorer: Simple GitHub API UI
My feeling is current processors are completely fast enough to do what most users need. And it's programming comminity producing bloated slow frameworks that is the problem. Layers of shit are covered over with yet another layer of shit. Needs to stop.
From Timothy Leary's 1983 autobiography, Flashbacks (via Wikipedia):
"Turn on" meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers engaging them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. "Tune in" meant interact harmoniously with the world around you—externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. "Drop out" suggested an active, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily, my explanations of this sequence of personal development are often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity"
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Map keys in Go can be strings, numbers, pointers, some structs, etc. And that was the case since at least Go 1.0.

The majority of funding Mozilla’s comes from Google, including receiving a portion of all ad revenue through google search.

The data linked shows the fridge sitting above 40 degrees F for days at a time. From what I understand about food safety, those conditions will allow bacteria to propagate. It looks like a good start on a project, but I'd be super nervous about using it in a 'production environment' for any period of time.

Ok, you got me. The real answer is that the aviation connector looks cool and it's fun to use. That's all there is to it.
This is not the fault of Waze. This is the fault of city planners and the people who live in those houses who have opposed mass transit expansion, and highway expansion. If all else fails we will just go back to making our own routes through neighborhoods and side streets.

Home automation on personal networks is certainly a large use case for these devices, but I think you underestimate the number of ESP8266/32 devices that are used in enterprise environments. The Industrial IoT space is pretty big, using small wifi chips like the ESPs for stuff like factory data collection or data center monitoring. I also have personally seen them used in medical device environments and security systems (think wireless door sensors and the like).

The "big boys" probably use custom made silicon (but even then I've seen custom-made silicon with an ESP8266 mounted onto it to abstract out the wifi connection part), but I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of IIoT startups use the ESPs as part of their products.
The Pixel 3a is fantastic for that reason.

Being told my web design is kinda cyberpunk is a great compliment, thank you ^_^ I like the banner image on yours.
You can make that argument, yes. I can deconstruct it by arguing that not everyone can easily match those biases - I bet there are still plenty of places on Earth where soap is surprisingly difficult to come by.

That side issue does not have much to do with the video issues under discussion, though.

I shudder at the thought of a world in which always-on lies about your appearance become standard practice.

Then why is my employer paying me with it? Why do savings accounts exist at the bank? Are we supposed to go out and buy bonds and gamble on stocks when we receive a paycheck? Maybe the stuff we use for currency shouldn't be printed out of thin air and have no inherent value

Mexico’s President Reveals Camera That He Says Spied on Him
So what does it do now? Is it just an older version number or did they remove the number altogether.
Ah, so what you're saying is that they would give up on the problem once they saw the answer, and then move on to a new one, rather than work through the first one until they understood the answer, right?
"The Return of Time-Sharing" - now that's very much real. Amazon AWS is time-sharing. "Pay for what you use". By changing servers from a fixed cost to a variable one, more people have to worry about resource consumption in fine detail. Through most of the personal computing and leased server era, that was not the case.
You can be signed up for Messenger without being signed up for Facebook, I think. (Or, at least, you can deactivate a Facebook account and still use Messenger.)
Given the President's actions and statements vis-a-vis horrible dictatorships around the world, I strongly doubt that any of his actions are intended to benefit persecuted minorities in China. If anything, that's probably one of the aspects of China he deeply admires and appreciates.

I favor tougher treatment of China in trade talks and generally approve of how they are being dealt with. But let's not pretend the President or any of his administration would ever do anything out of a sense of altruism.
What about vs. the old perl script, awstats? I'm still using that, amazingly, after like 15 years. It does the basics fairly well, if a little ugly. I'm always looking for new cool stuff though.
Well Amazon deliveries are particularly inconsiderate -- loud music, driving too fast, and the sheer amount.
But it really is the totality of all the trucks (and cars now too). I think it is actually very inefficient.
Both are on my list. :) But thank you for the confirmation! I've seen a few episodes of a Pepe Carvalho TV show in Spanish (no subs I could find) but haven't yet gotten around to reading it yet.
Cloth diapers are a luxury item. They are for people with access to washing machines and sufficient time to handle them. They might financially seem cheaper, but poor people often need to work multiple jobs to keep their heads above the water. They can’t afford spending extra time. (Same goes for junk food vs. cooking stuff that you cheaply sourced from a market, ...)
> Are they trying to make C literally become the same as C++ except classes and templates?

As a C programmer, aren't classes, templates, and exceptions the things that have classically differentiated C and C++?[0] I don't see anything obviously objectionable about nullptr[1], auto, __has_include, or constexpr. (I don't have a ton of experience with them, either.)

I'll admit I don't really grok what "make false and true first-class language features" means — maybe make them reserved keywords? (int)true must still evaluate to 1, in any event.

[0]: "C++ is C with classes!"

[1]: C's "NULL" has this obnoxious wart in that it is implementation-defined whether or not it is a pointer type. I.e., it can be "(void *)0" or just "0". This means that it cannot be used safely in portable incantations of variadic functions that expect pointer arguments.
and again we see the effects of LSD upon work creativity.
Could you please explain what's happening here then, in terms of how Google is reading our Signal messages to provide "smart" replies?
Apologies, you seem to have taken this a bit more personally intended. All I was intending to suggest was that the SA gov budget would be somewhat constraining its ambitions, not that its people are technologically behind, or whatever else you seem to be implying here.

I've used Rust a bit, but not enough to know the details of how cargo and crates.io approach managing collected information.

There seems to be an open issue and WIP PR with more details:

Issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/955

PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/pull/919/file...

The cargo manifest also supports things like:

The publish field (optional)

The publish field can be used to prevent a package from
being published to a package registry (like crates.io) by mistake,
for instance to keep a package private in a company.

[package]
# ...
publish = false

But I would be curious if someone more knowledgeable than myself would be interested in giving a quick summary of the approach?
Strings are fixed-size, though. A string is a pointer and a length.

It's true that you can't use a slice as a map key, though, even though slices are also fixed-size (pointer, length, and capacity). As I recall, the argument is that the equality rules for slices are unclear. (maps and funcs can't be used as keys either, for the same reason: they're not comparable.) Is a 0-length slice equal to a nil slice? Is a slice with len 3, cap 3 equal to a slice with len 3, cap 4?

In practice, this is rarely a problem. It most commonly comes up when you want to use []byte as a key, in which case you can convert the []byte to a string. This overhead of this conversion (specifically when it occurs in the context of a map key) has been optimized away for a few versions now.
Can you explain why they're wrong?
Interesting; in whatever cultural bubble I'm embedded in, every group chat (even among five friends without any shared purpose) is its own Discord server.
It sounds super common in the US. In the UK, we either settle with Messenger (ugh, but at least it's cross-platform) or WhatsApp.

The amount of funding Wag has is (I'm guessing) too high for just a match-making service. They need to own the continued services or they risk severe devaluation (still guessing).

It's not really about right and wrong at the end of the day (though I'm obviously biased on what I think is right/wrong). It's about the contractors doing what is best for themselves. Because dog walking is personalized, local, and occurs on a regular schedule, it benefits contractors to use Wag to build up a trusted client base, and then start their own business and cut out Wag. This is the issue with making Uber for 'Traditional Service'. There are a million gotchas which can tank things. While I'm sure there are more services than just ride sharing which check all the right boxes, I really don't think dog walking is one of them.

I actually work for a services firm, and employees starting their own businesses is something we think about. We have a one year non-compete, but it doesn't mean all that much. Instead, it's really up to us to make sure our employees feel they are paid and treated fairly, so they don't have a reason to break out on their own.

That said, we have employees. Wag has contractors.

If we worked with a contractor (we do) and they stole one of our customers, we would certainly stop working with that contractor. That said, if they were able to steal our customer, then we clearly weren't adding enough value, which is on us.

That's the real issue. If contractors can just up and leave Wag with their client base, then Wag isn't adding enough value. Even if they win the legal battle, they still have a failed business model.

Edit: Well, failed business model for the amount of funding they have. If they only had a couple million dollars in funding, they could just pivot as I'd stated above.
To clarify the article title:

Investigations into dinosaur coloration have revealed that study of melanosomes can reveal details of internal structures in addition to just external appearances.

The implied question was "What colors were the dinosaurs?" The unexpected answer was "Several colors on the outside, but the remains of their internal organs can also be differentiated by color."

You weren't kidding. Thanks for the links.
By the time things like the SCO lawsuit happened, Linux already had the momentum and corporate financial backing so it could weather it. Had that lawsuit happened in the early days, history would have likely played out differently. (i.e. imagine you were in college getting sued by AT&T over a project that barely anyone had heard about... I suspect most would decide to find a different hobby project)

When the AT&T lawsuit happened it had the direct effect of steering people from *BSD to Linux at a critical time for both, so I'd say that it was definitely a factor.
