Basically there is a ton of potentially useful commands that can be issued with words (keyboard) and don't need the precision of mouse, especially when you target or select multiple units. There can be commands which target or select not based on unit type, but on role (attack anti-aircraft units), state (damaged, fortified, carried, loaded), position (flank, rear, front, high ground, low ground).
I think static IPs and blocking egress traffic only keeps well-behaved devices from doing any harm.

It does not protect you from compromised, malicous (IoT) devices. Think about a network printer doing ARP spoofing and MiTM-attacking your VoIP phone or IP cam. E.g. googeling immediately turns up vulnerabilities like this [1] one. A properly configured VLAN setup can help to prevent or limit this threat.

The possibility to bankrupt a company without losing more than you put into the venture is in my eyes a feature of capitalism, not a bug.
Years ago I saw a essay where someone took some Java code, translated to C#. Then performed a bunch of optimizations using value types and stack based structs. And it was about 10 times faster than the Java version. Because it wasn't hitting the heap anymore.

Yes, neovim is compositing the windows inside the text UI in a terminal.
"allow location only while using the app" boom.
vi usage is here to stay, even if not heavy usage, some one has to always change something in a file on a server and has to use vi.

Apart from that, Emacs usage mostly correlates how much of text heavy tasks a programmer is doing. Most people tend to write tons of shell/perl/python scripts and take a lot of time recreate the magic of emacs outside it, Sadly most of it is also throw away effort with a lots of manual effort in between. Sometimes its entirely manual effort because eventually you need to learn Perl regexes, or sed or awk really well, and that's another black hole in itself. To me that's kind of a gap in developer training itself. If you are wasting man-hours to weeks doing what should be done in man-minutes you probably have a huge gap in the way you are used to thinking about how your work in general.

Growth of Python is a big problem for programming community at large. It's a tool largely designed for beginners and people refuse to move beyond that. What's worse they also carry that kind of thinking to any tool they want to use.

Developers are generally bad at automating our own work. We wish to liberate accountants and ware house workers from drudgery. But rarely do we look at our own very work the very same way.
I've heard the theory that in countries where women are more dependent, like Muslim countries, they have much higher levels of enrolment exactly to be able to escape their dependency on male family members. Similarly in poorer countries, like India and ex-Soviet republics, the enrolment for the sciences versus arts is larger than the rest of the world.
I agree CEOs shouldn’t make government policy; but, choosing to remove a product from the market, or withhold it from the government, is not policy making. It’s listening to your employees and customers of other products. These are the same people that elected the representatives that are making the policy.

People who work at Palantir, Raytheon, and other defense manufacturers know what their work is being used for by the government. The folks at Google, Amazon, and non-defense companies didn’t necessarily sign up to build war machines. They are entitled to speak up if they feel the company is going in a direction that makes them uncomfortable. Many of them are shareholders.

Tech companies shouldn’t make policy. They also shouldn’t be forced to enter the defense industry.

All these popular culture references to wasps. And yet no mention of The Wasp Fsctory?
I second this. It is very well written and among the top fantasy books I have read. The only frustrating part is the release of third book is no where near in the horizon.
Pretty great deal to be honest. I went to a huge football school and they had a pure lottery system. Everyone applied, and most people just flipped their ticket for a couple hundred bucks.

No. The only thing that consistently affects speed is size of the suppliers, the bigger the slower.
If that was what you meant to say, your meaning got garbled. "Other" isn't used to convey "not" but means something like "besides" or "in addition to". I suspect that the word you were looking for was "rather than" which means "instead of".
This is foolish on HP’s part, not just because of the reputation fall out, but the low value of this data coupled with the massive risk it poses to governmental departments or journalists.

We don’t know how the data is being sent or stored nor whether it’s being anonymised sufficiently - if at all.

I would say this kind of data snooping is software malfeasance and could really pose a serious risk to individuals and organisations printing sensitive documents on HP printers.
Technically yes but what I mean is: Are there organisms that shape that sound into a tightly focused beam, to be able to only address the receivers they aim at?
Can't one just taper down the nicotine content over time via mixing 0% and some other % 'juice'? Or can these vaping pods not do that. If they wanted to vape to overcome a nicotine addiction they should have had some plan to eventually reach 0%.

It also exists because the vim BDFL refused to merge some patches, notably async (vim did get async after it was proven a success in neovim). Since the fork neovim has modernized and cleaned up the codebase, and has an ambitious feature roadmap which includes adding Lua as a plugin language and adding APIs for external GUIs.

Yes, still it is astounding how far you can get with relatively simple heuristics and a well pruned search tree.
One interesting heuristic, which falls right out of "von Försters Imperative" is: Prefer moves that maximize the number of choices you have in the future, and minimize those of your opponent.

One Secret method to become rich, get rid of loans and achieve finance
Just finished the second book of this series. I agree with the parent comment - strongly recommend.

I also finished book 10 of the Malazan series.

Imagine Dan Carlin (Hardcore History podcast) and Quentin Tarantino took both the red pill and the blue pill that Morpheus offered Neo and ground both the pills together, snorted it, shook hands and agreed to create something better than Game of Thrones. I imagine they would have come up with something almost as good as the Malazan series.

You’ll have to power through the first book (Gardens of the Moon). It is notoriously difficult - I recommend following up each chapter with commentary on Tor’s Gardens of the Moon reread. I will also guarantee that the way book 1 ends will not make sense. But keep reading - the payoff is waiting as early as the end of book 2. And again at the end of book 3. And again all through books 4 and 5. And it’ll stay that good till the end.
One needs to keep in mind that toner dust and ozone may pose a health risk when printers are used close to to where people live/work.

Many printer manufacturers nowadays sell inkjet printers with laser-printer like operating costs, where ink is dirt-cheap, but the printer is correspondingly more expensive. Google for Epson EcoTank or Brother Inkvestment.
The Microsoft example seems a bit desperate - they bombed in mobile so of course they're seeking cross-platform refuge.

But are PWAs being used that much for real? Beyond just installable web sites (ie. full offline support with service workers, etc?). I seem to remember Twitter did a nice job with Twitter Lite, but I've never seen anyone use it. Again from memory I think Skype did a quite impressive PWA. I'm a big fan of Checkvist, & they have a PWA which is moving slowly but in a good direction.

Anyway, that aside, for a dev wanting to get into the mobile space (which I think was the OP's intent), PWAs would hardly be the best first option for a tech to learn. Surely whatever your personal tastes, you wouldn't disagree?

That's an extremely cool party trick but I'm also slightly concerned that neovim started to cut bloat in vim and ended up implementing a compositing window manager with fake transparency.

Though the idea is just pretty damn cool in general so I can't get too grumpy about it.

"Full stack developer" is short for "Full stack web developer". Outside of web development it's rarely used.

For other areas, we usually talk about "Systems programming" or "Application programming". I suppose the full stack there would be to do both?

Flying a drone in Iran as a foreigner is a pretty stupid thing to do. Especially near a military area. An as a foreigner you wouldn't know where that is - so they really shouldn't have done it. I say this as an Australian too - I've travelled a lot as well and you have to use a bit of common sense when in countries like Iran. Saying that I do wish for their safe release of course.

I don't know which specific Christian sect you're referring to but in Catholicism God isn't seen as merciful on Earth. Penance and repentance (due to our sins, including the Original Sin) are core parts of their belief.

Yes and no. In theory the asynchronous mode is more efficient, but then it might mean you never get the ACKs from all the people.

If the async mode works, no need for the meeting, after all do it over email or in GDocs.

The problem with the sync mode is that inevitably you're wasting someone's time, at best only yours as you wait for others to read.

It does matter today when people basically cry "yellow peril" ('Silent-invasion', could the author have picked a more inflammatory term?) because China is simply re-asserting itself in the world and developing its influence in Asia-Pacific. They are doing what we're doing: Trying to influence.

We are so used to a world lopsided to the West that we don't realise that this is not a 'normal' state of affairs in historical and demographic terms.

I was born in 1983 in the Netherlands. My mom, and all my friends' moms, were housewives. About half of these moms were university educated or comparably. All their daughters now have proper jobs.

Sounds like Iran is roughly in the same place now, which I assume is a big improvement over some decades ago. Just give it another generation.

Anecdotally, I've tought some CS classes at the local university, to a highly mixed crowd. The Iranian students, every year, were somehow all female, and they were invariably among the top of their class. I'm going to be very surprised if these particular women turn out to become housewives.
I do it. It's almost impossible to find anything about me online, even if you know quite a bit about me already.

Maybe one day you'll say something on twitter that offends a mob. Then they'll trawl through your entire internet history to find some post you made when you were 15 and expressed a dumb view you haven't held for 20 years.
Very disappointing piece, it's just a short fluff piece for the release of a book.

There's so much behind them, could probably easily fill a few books. Despite being just beaten to first stereo recording they were so much better at stereo than anyone else, which lasted until about the 80s. Then their recording innovations, their unique London cartridges that survived unharmed into the audiophile and silliness era, full frequency recording and hydrophone connection, to Decca navigator, or early digital mastering with their own equipment in the seventies.

All completers will be able to utilize floating windows immediately, so it's not a special feature of coc.nvim. Using LSP is also not unique to coc.nvim. Deoplete, for instance, supports both as well. I personally have no interest in using coc since it's a javascript based project.

There's a between-the-wars novel by English author Evelyn Waugh called Decline and Fall. The main character gets involved in all kinds of unspeakable crimes, more out of naivety than inherent criminality, and at the end is "disappeared" out of jail and given a new identity.

Waugh was an Establishment insider and knew how the upper classes operated. It's a very interesting novel.

I'm not suggesting Epstein was naive - far from it.

But if you're in a position to bribe prison guards and authorities to cover up murder-by-fake-suicide, I suspect it's not significantly harder or more expensive to bribe prison guards and authorities to cover up an escape.

It's debatable if it would more expedient to remove the evidence permanently or have it moved to another location where some of its skills might continue to be useful. But I would be surprised if option 2 wasn't at least a possibility.

As for the Sacklers - we'll see if any of them do jail time.

Your comment doesn't really contradict the parent comment. In addition to the misinformation and trolling, they did hack something, namely the DNC and John Podesta's email account. And those attacks were successful and affected the vote – but they did not involve hacking election systems.

Actually, they did separately hack election systems [1], putting them in a position to at least alter voter rolls in some counties (though perhaps not votes). But there is no evidence that they actually altered anything.

Politicians are just that class of criminals we’ve regulated well enough to keep the spotlight on them.

Judging an entire nation by the ugliness of its politicians would be short sighted.

We, us regular folk, have more in common with each other, with our global neighbours, than we ever will the ruling class.

Not every US citizen is a Trump support, and not every Trump supporter is a buffoon. And Australian and UK politics are simply too embarrassing to even mention.
I wish it was the same in my African country. Among the things that can make our population slow down a little (5.70 births per woman in 2016), higher education for women is the efficient one. In high school, girls where the majority but in after that ... they are in a drastic minority.

Yes, I am aware. That at a minimum provides no evidence for a "hard racial disparity in intelligence" and arguably show that such a hard disparity is impossible. It also provides evidence against "SAT score differences due to race are wholely explained by genetics" claim.

So long as you write fast C#, C# is pretty fast. But you need to make C# that effectively compiles (JIT's) to the same assembly as a C or C++ program would. It's simply staying with a subset of C# that looks a lot like C.

It's really hard to do because you can't easily see when you pay for an abstraction (is this foreach slower than a for loop? does it allocate an enumerator? can it unroll? will this call allocate a heap array for its params? Will this call be devirtualized?)

The "Burst compiler" in Unity takes it a step further: it restricts the language to those things that are actually always fast.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.burst@0.2/manual...

I really wish the C# team could do something similar: add a fast AOT subset to C#.

Lately I've been thinking about death (in a good way, if that makes sense) and the question of : what exist because of me? What will be left of me when I'm gone? Our fathers have let us down, failing in the crucial task of gifting us with the knowledge and wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation for ages. That's why we feel the disconnection and confusion we feel inside. We shouldn't pass down the same sin to our sons.

The properties of quantum computing require incredible low temperatures. We are talking close to 0 K, not -few degrees. That is unfeasible for nature to develop naturally as the advantages of using a quantum algorithm would be far lower than the natural disadvantages of energy requirements, weight, natural complexity, lack of versatility...
On top of all that, quantum computing and algorithms always require some kind of non quantum processing, so on top of that we would include non quantum processing...

> I think it’s unethical to copy an existing program’s features one by one, as precisely as possible, while adding nothing novel. If you want to make software, get your own ideas. Copying something is a lot easier than inventing it for yourself, which requires doing real research.

I'm not a fan of this argument. We all build upon the work of those who came before us, and usually even the most blatant rip-offs add something.

I'd even argue the opposite: We should copy good ideas. There's no point in re-inventing the wheel over and over again. If we copy good ideas, we can build on them, and we can spend time inventing new things, rather than re-inventing everything just to make sure it's all original.

(And I say this as someone whose work has been shamelessly ripped off multiple times in the past.)
