Today, it seems that Vulkan is really the most portable engine available. OpenGL support has kind of stagnated.

It strikes me that having an entire fleet of high stealth aircraft is only going to be important for... maybe the first 48 hours of any conflict. I would suspect that the very first targets in any air war would be radar installations and command and control centers. Once those are down, and air superiority is achieved, stealth doesn't even matter; you could fly B-52 bomb trucks around.

Even for that opening stage of the battle, I would suspect that cruise missiles and drones would make more sense.
Yeah I made some incorrect assumptions about the nature of parcel, foolish mistake on my part.

For your other question it depends on your library. If you’re only targeting ESM or CJS sure, if you need a UMD or want separate outputs for separate targets a bundler like rollup can help prevent a lot of pointless boilerplate.

Kind of. Originally, info-beamer for the Pi started as a standalone binary intended to run on Raspbian. This product (info-beamer pi) is still available and has also been updated to support HEVC playback. See here: https://info-beamer.com/product/info-beamer-pi

As for usability: It's really "raw". So you have to manually create the content/code directory and start the tool pointing it to that directly. There's no UI, remote management or any other advanced features that you might expect. That's also the reason info-beamer hosted go started in the first place: The technical knowledge required to run the software was to much. The hosted solution fixes all this and adds a complete OS, trivial installation and remote management system around info-beamer pi.
This is why I'm skeptical of private weakly regulated markets and why I actually support regulation of capital markets that forces disclosure. WeWork was able to claim an absurd valuation in the public markets, but as soon as they started filing the reports mandated by government regulation they started imploding.

I think when government regulation mandates self-reporting and disclosure it has a tendency to work (though not always), whereas when government regulation takes punitive prohibitionist approaches it starts to stumble (again, not always).

Only if the question is "Is window.onbeforeunload reliable to track online/offline users?"

In every other case, that should be a disclaimer on top of an answer to the actual question.

Maybe future users don't need 100% reliability for some reason. Maybe they're just trying to find out if something like onbeforeunload even exists.

I don't ask you to blindly believe what is written on that site, but if the sun activity had a great effect, since we are at the solar minimum, we should have experienced a colder year or summer according to that theory.

So I don't know where exactly you live but this was the hottest summer since 1880, and if I remember last winter it was quite hot in Australia as well. As a matter of fact, I don't remember any place where people complained because it was significantly colder.

Don't you think that fact alone should make you doubt the solar activity had any meaningful impact and will lead to another ice age ?

It's quite a bit less common on earth than either Cobalt or Lithium, and currently pretty much all of it is used for metallurgy or lubrication. Roughly an order of magnitude less common than either Cobalt or Lithium (~20ppm vs. 1.5ppm).

EDIT: Also, per wiki, we produce almost 2x the amount per annum of Moly than we do of Cobalt, so presumably we're a lot closer to hitting a ceiling than we are with Cobalt/Lithium.

The people in charge very clearly misread the market and thought they could unload that steaming pile of junk on the public markets. Everyone involved in this IPO knew how bad things were, they just hoped the market was hungry enough for "tech stocks" to paper over those issues.

Sorry, but your sources are accounting for the US only, it is not global. In 2014, the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters were China, the United States, the European Union, India, the Russian Federation, and Japan. According to the chart, in 2014, US made up 15% of those emissions.

> Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (24% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): Greenhouse gas emissions from this sector come mostly from agriculture (cultivation of crops and livestock) and deforestation. This estimate does not include the CO2 that ecosystems remove from the atmosphere by sequestering carbon in biomass, dead organic matter, and soils, which offset approximately 20% of emissions from this sector.[1]

Plus, as other comments have pointed out, transportation and the rest are closely related to our lifestyles.

> You cannot make them work with printf("%d", x) directly (it compiles fine and then you run into problems), etc.

To be fair that's also true for standard intN_t or uintN_t types. "%d" expects an int argument, and while several of the intN_t types may be converted to int by the default argument type promotion rules, that isn't guaranteed. For example, while plain "%d" works for int64_t on ILP64 platforms with 64-bit int values, LP64 (32-bit int, 64-bit long) requires "%ld" and 32-bit platforms require "%lld". That's why you have e.g. the PRId64 macro from <inttypes.h> to select the correct format code for printing int64_t values. You could provide something similar to abstract away the required format code. If you're using the GNU C library you can even define custom format codes with register_printf_function(), which might be your only option if the calling convention for your template doesn't match any of the standard integer types.
Or, you know, the shipping companies could address that risk by complying with the relevant regulations.

Do you have any citations for that (for the fact that there's a significant proportion of autistic people who study/work at the MIT)? It's come up a few times in the comment section of this article, and I can't find sources for that claim.

Honestly the first time I read it I dismissed it as an exaggeration, but you (and others) seem convinced enough to use it to back some of your opinions on this topic. Before this, I would've thought that thoughts like that were merely stereotypes result of ignorance.

Though nobody really knows what happened to him, and I think he's still on the FBI's most wanted list - here in Arizona we have the case of Robert Fisher:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_William_Fisher

Yep - he's still on the wanted list - going on 18-19 years now. It's unclear whether he's dead, hiding out, or what; all signs point to him at least escaping and "going into the wilderness". What's happened since that point is anyone's guess.

For that matter, though, the whole escapade has a lot of questions if you research it. The official story is that one day, he snapped, and decided to kill his wife and kids, then blow up their house (natural gas explosion - leveled it) - supposedly to try to hid the evidence of the murder. Then he took the dog with him in their SUV, ran off into the wilderness - then vanished. The dog and the SUV were found, and that was it.

There were questions (at the time) - theory, conspiracy, you name it - but I don't know what to make of them; it was all one weird thing in what would turn out to be a tumultuous year, and quickly overtaken by events and somewhat "forgotten".

The questions still remain as to why and what really happened - the official case states marital trouble, but none of it seems (but who knows what his mental state was) to rise to the level of what occurred, though the background seems a convenient explanation after the fact.
Note, the _investment_ was 300M, meaning the valuation was actually higher than that! According to Crunchbase:

> Wag has a post-money valuation in the range of $500M to $1B as of Jan 30, 2018 according to PrivCo.
> So, punishment as a deterrent is currently a theory.

The use of “theory” in that sentence is not in the scientific sense; it is a philosophical rather than a predictive model. (There are predictive models of deterrence, some of which might be theories, or perhaps hypotheses, in the scientific sense, but that's not what the quote is discussing.)
The training you get during a PhD is mostly your responsibility. There are good academic PIs who know how to actually mentor students. From them you can learn a lot about research and people. Most professors lack the soft skills needed to mentor and grow students because it's rarely a condition for employment.

The growth you do during a PhD is, therefore, mostly on you. If you're not the type who can teach themselves and have fun doing it then, perhaps ironically, you're going to find it extremely difficult in a PhD program.

Given the right company, you may be surprised at the opportunities open to you. Technical people tend to over-rate the "interestingness" of the work being done and under-rate the quality of the work environment when looking for jobs.

Think hard and very honestly about what work environment you'd do best in, work hard to find that environment. If you do, it doesn't sound like you'll miss those three letters that much in a few years.
>So they will target the murderbot economy and harm people in the process.

I hope everyone who decides to manufacture murderbots is wise enough to keep an "Off" switch of some sort.

A half wavelength at 3 GHz is 50 mm. A half wavelength of 93.7 MHz is 1600 mm. The retroreflector here is not being used as a retroreflector for passive radar as the transmitter and receiver are not in the same spot. Why would a small chunk of stuff stuck to a bigger chunk of stuff somehow disturb the high power VHF signals used more than the big chunk of stuff it is attached to?
So are weird polyamorous people who are into "cuddle puddles" committing sexual assault or something similar by advertising that fact?

It seems to me that Stallman advertising that he likes cuddles is automatically considered creepy, beyond the pale, whereas if a properly woke community of appropriately diverse individuals did the same, it would be just considered part of that culture and accepted.

What's more, Stallman used to be part of what that community used to be. He is a hippie. I bet people not up to speed on him reading about this incident assume he's an alt-righter who voted for Trump, but he supports Bernie Sanders, says that Australians should vote for the Greens, and advocates for weird gender-neutral pronouns.

And he likes cuddles and dared to advertise that fact!

I acknowledge that putting that on a business card is out of line in today's culture, but god I wish it wasn't. If you are creeped out by an old man wanting cuddles, but you wouldn't if it were someone else, then you are a bigot. And if you're creeped out any people at all advertising that they like cuddles, then that is stifling and the future is going to be bland and full of lonely people.

No, it was used correctly; “theory” has definitions other than those in the context of empirical science and the use of “hypothesis” would have been at least as wrong as the scientific sense of “theory”.

British Airways owner IAG says strikes cost £121m
That is definitely not true.

Sensitive VHF radio receivers, tuned to transmitters that are located beyond line of site, can very easily detect VHF communications reflected off of a very small airborne target.

I can sit in my office with a spectrum analyzer and watch the signal strength of a distant digital TV broadcast station come in and out of view when an aircraft flies overhead.

Couple that technique with a DF network and far more sensitive receivers and GPS timing, and building a passive radar to defeat stealth technology become far easier than you think.
