Last night a new version of the vera documentation was uploaded (https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-docs/blob/master/vera-mo...). It looks like the changes will allow for more memory, up to 1mb. Of which the last 64kb seem to be reserved for the registers, so max 960kb.

Constantly copying data to the VERA (chasing the beam/screen), seems unpractical. The 6502@8MHz can never move that much data.
I think the Microsoft edx moocs have solved this problem pretty well. They are typically focused on a more narrow topic, they are shorter (usually around a month), and they are very explicit on the weekly time required and this actually matches.

I've used msft edx to learn bootstrap and their azure machine learning platform and they were there best moocs I've ever taken.
Exactly. If a substantial amount of people stop trusting the "promissory state money", then the inflation will be uncontrollable (or not controllable by the state) and the state won't be able to give anything in return of their promissory notes.
Probably because the government thinks you don't deserve to die even if you're stupid. Just like people who get helped even though they stay in the path of hurricanes despite evac orders
Two Dutchmen who in all probability expected to be stopped, but seriously underestimated the risk of being made an example because of the coming 'event'.

They are Youtubers with 700,000 and 300,000 subscribers, respectively. They did this for the views obivously, but being only 20 and 21 years old and naive about how seriously trespassing on US military property is treated by the local sheriff's department they probably misjudged the consequences of their actions.

Their timing was on purpose. The buzz generated by the event meant that their videos would have lifted along on the popularity of the topic. But these are kids who are used to nothing more than an occasional stern telling off by cops in Europe.

I think they are being tried this Monday. They were released on bail, so chances are they will get away with just a fine and probably a travel ban to the US, but that seems to depend on whether the judge wants to set an example for the coming weekend or not. As some people knowledgable about the US judicial system noted: they had better get a damn good local lawyer.
Raising awareness of what was lost in my case.

I miss the early 2000s when I'd do a search for things and get information heavy, presentation light content made by non-commercial enthusiasts.

Though in my case I mostly don't blame Google as much as the commercialization of the internet and the short attention spans of the majority of its current inhabitants (who are a lot less bright and technical than the ones from the late 90s and early 2000s). What I do blame them for a bit is catering to those masses and their commercial focus rather than trying to improve the quality and depth of information we are exposed to. (I can probably also blame them for some of the censorship they seem to do based on these guidelines)
From the comments: „it's just a dated way to conduct a study on vehicle safety. they only looked at the crash -> injury relation. based on that from a scientific perspective teslas omission from the study makes sense.“
Actually they are much better! Trump ran on an explicitly populist platform ("I listen to you, the elites don't") and Johnson is currently staring down the threat of a jail sentence because he's trying to actually leave the EU, as voters requested. They are much more guided by what's popular with voters than EU leaders are.

And yes I know lots of people living in the EU think it's great. Lots of people living in the USSR thought it was great too, as can be seen from the opinion polls showing how many Russian think Stalin was their greatest leader. That doesn't change the nature of what these systems are.

From my perspective I think the EU/UK talks have gone nowhere because the brexiteers didn't have any strategy at all. It boils down to playing chicken and thinking the rest of the EU will flinch at the threat of the UK cutting all ties, when it has been clear that the UK (under May and now Johnson) desperately wants those ties. But the UK is not willing (or politically able) to make any concessions for those - concessions that other states had to make before, to make the same deal. They're not just selected arbitrarily.

It's tragic really, since the EU cannot move because it's bound to the will of the member states and their people - and the UK cannot move because it's bound to the will of its people (by which I mean the people of Northern Ireland, not the referendum).

Now the UK press seemingly wants people to believe that the "the EU" can just decide on a deal, independent of the interests of its member states. And that sadly will burn itself into the minds of many Brits (at least the leavers) as a story that the EU bullied the UK without any reason, just to be mean.

Can someone here explain why companies pay only 40% of US salaries in India? One person from my team is leaving for India soon. He is paid $200k/yr currently in Bay area. But he is being offered INR50 lakhs which is roughtly $80k USD. What stops MS from paying something like $120k USD (converted to INR) because fully loaded costs in US (with FICA taxes) is abot $250K?

Especially, if the quality is the same in both places?
What Trump ran on and what Trump does are two different things.

And Boris (among many others), more or less engineered the whole brexit so he could gain power, if that fails he is done. He is doing it because he bet his whole career on it, and has nothing to loose.

And as someone who lived (although only for about 12 years of my life) behind iron curtain.

There are normally a lot of self-tests involved in a reboot.

Every actuator will be energised, de-energised, moved end to end to test limit switches, etc.

It's mostly done serially because some things would be disrupted by other things, and figuring out a dependancy tree is tricky.

Quite a lot of stuff is auto-configured in bootup. For example, it might spend 10 seconds trying to ping a debug console to see if it should enter debug mode. Or 30 seconds with IP addresses configured to the 'lab' setup before switching over to the production networking config when the lab settings won't let it connect to anything.
Shouldn’t these kind of sites also include a productivity indicator next to each individual salary? Considering how much individual productivity varies for IT workers knowing just the salary is like knowing the price of a bag of, say, flour in a supermarket, without knowing the volume.

Also, to push the analogy forward, how about the flour quality? One employee could be more valuable for the business due to stuff like his willingness to help in tough, boring but critical moments. Or learning more outside of work to be able to apply that knowledge in new and innovative ways inside the company.

And so on... Are all those factors sufficiently captured by a single number like "level"?!

Supply and demand.

MS could afford to pay more as you said... but why should they? Does your friend seriously consider leaving MS in India? If so, use that as leverage to negotiate. If not, then clearly MS should not offer more money
yeah that's true..
Assuming $80k is market rate in the new location, if this person was paid $120k it creates another kind of risk: the person might be disgruntled and hate the job, but never leave, because they aren’t going to get $120k anywhere else.

As an employer the ideal is to pay at or slightly above the market. Enough to make money a non-issue, but not so much that people who secretly hate you still work for you.

Indeed. Hell, I've known people from India to move back there in recent years because conditions have improved and whilst the salaries are lower the standard of living they can afford you can end up being a lot better.

But the candidate will go to interview with the hiring manager at some point, this cannot be avoided. Then it is in the best interest of everyone to get those things out of the way as early as possible.

It's also a cultural thing, I believe. I have lived in Denmark the past ~10 years, and in Denmark the human part is very important for building trust - seeing the person, talking with the person. Denmark is not so big on long contracts, it's more about the personal relation.

> If the dates are stored in strings

The rest of your comment is fairly academic because, surely, the dates are stored as a native date/time type. (Either `date` itself or `timestamp without timezone` - probably the latter given that the literals in the article mention times.) Using strings would both be inefficient cause numerous correctness problems, including, as you just said, the fact that comparison with '2018-12-31' would give different results to comparison with '2018-12-31 00:00:00.000'. There's no reason to assume that the article had chosen this insane path.

Just to humour the possibility that someone had, foolishly, used a string for this possibility: Your most recent comment is correct that as strings '2018-12-31' < '2018-12-31 00:00:00.000', so the BETWEEN in my previous comment would not have worked (although it depends, of course, on what exact strings were stored in the column!). But the comparison you suggested in your previous comment would also be incorrect, for the same reason I already objected to: `BETWEEN '2018-01-01' AND '2019-01-01'` will match (the string) '2019-01-01'.
Could you give some rough numbers? The definition of "a few" varies heavily depending on the context.
> they poop in high up places

I've a wombat living on my property. The elevation we're talking about is only 20mm or so, in my experience. Most often it seems to be perched on an exposed tree root. I've heard it explained to me that they 'back up' to where they do it, so it's not as though they clamber up onto something.

That said, once I had a squared sawn log resting on an angle and it had wombat poo on it after a few nights and was about 300mm or so off the ground. The log would've been just manageable for a ground-hugging wombat to reverse up.

"Remember, you need 1000 Wh to go 4-5 miles."

That "4-5" implies a lot of accuracy, but I would have thought that the distance you can travel on 1000 Wh would vary by orders of magnitude depending on the speed, terrain and road surface.

However, if you are moving a 1 tonne vehicle up a 5% gradient then you won't do more than 4.5 miles on 1000 Wh, if I've calculated that correctly.
You mean mass agriculture.

Groves have existed much longer than that. As did fishing.

Everything breaks when there's too many people in any given area. Hunting and gathering only worked due to very low populations in any given area.
I believe we are in violent agreement.
No, not really. Honestly, I don't think there's much resentment towards tech at all. There's a bit towards the largest companies like Facebook and Google sure, but most companies in the tech industry have pretty good reputations, and even the likes of Facebook aren't exactly 'hated' by the majority of the population.

Most people appreciate what I... no we do. Every app and site I've worked has been liked by both clients and customers.

Instead, the tech 'backlash' side is being played up by the media rather than the public. Likely because technology and the internet in particular has decimated their business model, and the people working there aren't exactly happy about it. But that's not the sentinment of most, it's just looking like it is because the folks with the largest megaphones are the ones most against it.

Do I feel some dissonance in some things? Sure, I guess I've always found it hard to reason that someone making say, hundreds of thousands or millions/billions of pounds or dollars a year really deserves that much more than everyone else. But that's not really a tech thing.
Maybe it was the cynical in me, but I wonder why those "teenager will save the world" relates are so popular (but often show so few results at long term). Some awards seem just a way to pose, borrow some good ideas, obtain a photo and a cover page and this is all.

Will be interesting to see how this ends
> The UCI requires a minimum wheel size of 55 cm, yet racers use 700C wheels that are 10 cm larger than required. If wheel weight mattered as much as most cyclists imagine, then pros using the smallest wheels would win every race. And yet, even though many have tried smaller wheels, all have returned to 700C wheels – probably because the larger wheels handle better due to their optimized rotational inertia. (But that is a topic for another post.)

I know this! The answer is because the neutral van only carries 700c wheels. If a rider gets a flat the wheel needs to be replaced quickly thus it's advantageous to use the most common wheel type. It is explained in this video by a professional cyclist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLnwR0ZxhcI

Wider tires are discussed in this video (also by GCN): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrHxQg1OW0A They also find that wider tires are slightly faster. Although they discuss widths of 23 vs 25 or 28 mm which seem like a minor difference for most cyclists. But probably makes a world of difference for professionals.

Not the parent, but a recent example of a failed search for me was:

"Saerang story lord of the rings"

The most important term got dropped and needed to be quoted to actually find what I wanted.

A separate and more concerning problem with Search is the emphasis on shallow information without outgoing links for more depth. The majority of searches on many topics (medical topics for example) will have the top results be "terminal" webpages that offer only a very shallow look at a topic without any way of finding more detailed information.

For example, when I attempted to look for a comprehensive breakdown of biodegredation of plastics (e.g. what kinds of environments reduce/increase biodegrading time, what types of plastics have longer times and why) I just kept finding pages by various advocacy groups that talked in vague generalities and offered no opportunities for further research.
Well it’s still kind of distributed with github because you can still have local branches that differ from the remote.
One key is having told the story or pitch multiple times before, so you can get the timing right. I've observed this with my own stories and it matches what I've heard about comedians.

Another thing can be talking the idea out with someone who is willing to bounce things back-and-forth with you. Thats what you're doing here, but you might want to put energy into making connections where you can regularly do that in-person.

The hard part is when you have to be concise on-the-spot, like if someone asks you a question out of left field. Here, I try to first buy time with phrases like "thats a good question" or by adding "ummmm"s and "ahhhh"s to my speech so the person knows that I"m thinking rather than ignoring them. It is not perfect though, and people are still impatient.

Those restrictions sound pretty reasonable - you wave the right to sue them for patents only. Would be kind of odd to use one of their patents freely while suing the opposite way.

Toyota announced the patent release five years after Tesla, and its mostly for technology released in 1997 for the Prius, hardly anything revolutionary now. By the way if you manage to find their contact form re. this, it says "We have closed accepting inquiries for technical support."
Why not? It's not entirely explicit but it seems that the `++` operator is only for string concatenation, so using it with anything else that a string means it's going to be converted to string.
I'm just curious about how the compiler enforces it.
Well, the Seine is already a bit of desperate case.

Spoiler alert, he never swam in it.

Here in Sweden, engineers are generally unionized (including software engineers) as Sveriges Ingenjörer (Sweden's Engineers).

The union negotiates minimum benefits, such as working hours, overtime rules, vacation time, pension contributions, and so on. The companies are free to offer more.

They also collect salary statistics (which you can slice by industry, age, experience, area, and a bunch of other stuff), to help you decide whether or not an offer is competitive.
I don't really understand what was special about Picketty, though, so I can understand the silence. It's been recognized for a very long time, amongst certain economists, that capitalism rewards capitalists - that is, those who own things. Mainstream economics is mainstream because it ignores these economists. It doesn't matter how you come to this conclusion, no economics department is going to give it the time of day - and those that do can expect to become targeted by politicians, as hotbeds of 'left wing academic bias'. Which is a very good way to shrink your department.

So amongst those that are not professionally immune to this kind of argument, Picketty get's a, 'well, duh'. Amongst the rest (mainstream economists) it gets a resounding silence. It isn't really relevant to the field, because the field is constituted by a kind of professional avoidance of politically charged topics.
