that doesnt mean there isnt discretion. running over a baby to catch someone who stole an apple is letting principal get in the way of pragmatism.

if your choices are "put everyone in the vicinity in massive immediate danger" and "let someone non dangerous escape" Id hope the need to make running itself a serious crime doesnt overrule the duty to the public's overall safety.
Gee, so how much uncompensated destruction is permitted if the police are fired upon? What if they leveled the block? What if they drove a tank through the neighborhood, destroying everything they passed on the way. Or every building the shoplifter was suspected of having entered?

The real problem with the older MacBooks (Pro) is weight really, for a machine that I have to carry with me every day.

As far as I know, there aren't that many 13 inch or less light options with more RAM outside of Apple either.
Good to know, but it might not be the most relevant metric? In many places, wired phone service got bypassed by cell phone service. I'd guess a lot more people have cell phones and are usually in cell phone range, so what we really want to know is coverage, cost, and quality of the data services that people already use to access the Internet, and how big a role satellite service would play in improving that.
As another person to whom poetry does nothing this is also a good example. I listen to a lot of Hip Hop, but the lyricism was never part of the appeal for me. I view the rapper's voice as merely another instrument. This includes the flow or cadence they may use.
Were they all just selling NAT-ing bridges instead of routers? This is a serious fraud.
To the EU this is an internal matter, plus, most of the countries of the EU have regions with similar intentions (of secession), it would be like shooting themselves in the foot.

Fair enough... I was speaking in a fairly limited sense where having one security vulnerability in a product doesn't necessarily impact another (assuming they can't be chained) on a single product, but there are dimensions in which it is similar, yes.
Business decisions. Dropbox needs to stay competitive especially with all the alternatives from FA(N)AG (removing Netflix). Many alternatives come bundled with other services.

Not all companies have the big tech or mid/early stage VC money to throw around. Who knows what kind of other tech debt Dropbox has accumulated.
Another good use case of QR codes is to log in or sign up services on TVs and laptops. Scan once, then it's done. You don't need to enter the activation URL on another device or use any password manager.

But you need 40% of your "users" to qualify.

If I take all registerd people on my platform as "users", I might end up at 0,1%.
But if I define a user as someone who is currently using my product >1 month, I might end up at 60%.

You are correct that not all products can have retention. But if you do, the cohort is a better metric in my opinion.
In the git context it's a merge. But Unfork() seems more like a rebase.
Despite it's dubious underpinnings and specious applications, the theory of the disposable male seems to fit this.

The only thing the majority of men are useful to in society is work/production. If you take that away, then the other function of men (reproduction/fertilization) can be accomplished by a much smaller fraction of the male population.

We are taking away the only thing that justifies the existence of most men, and we are reminding them of it every day with the society we are creating with no safety net or healthcare.

But after the last election, I stopped caring.

Public Health Backgrounder #713 [slightly NSFW text]
My argument is that it was the police firing 40mm rounds blindly into the house, using shaped charges, using battering rams for a single suspect with limited ammunition is completely unreasonable. I've seen police safely breach in more dangerous situations. They could have done a number of things before making the house unliveable and should have been expected to be trained in those options. The town should be paying because their actions caused the house to be unlivable and function as essentially eminent domain of the house. The police did far worse damage and put that more people at risk than this person did though their actions.

Also he attempted to kill police officers. It's unlikely he'll get it of jail any time before retirement.
This is a fair question but it's clear on the website it's mainly focused on contemporary stuff, partly because they consider it difficult to find.

That's not at all the case with classic poetry, I think.

Also, by definition, the canon is established - this initiative seems a good way of helping unestablished poetry into the spotlight.

Personally, I'd like to see a mix, with an emphasis on the contemporary; I think it would also draw a bigger audience, tho tbf I don't know what a modern poetry audience is looking for.

Another user suggested Revise.jl, but another option is to just reduce the amount of compilation work you have julia doing if your script isn't crazy performance sensitive. You can play around with command line arguments to julia like `--compile=min`. Here's an example:

real 0m18.050s
user 0m17.466s
sys 0m0.321s

~ time julia --compile=min -e "using Plots; x = 0:0.01:10; plot(x, sin.(x))"

Notepad++ repository is being spammed after “Free Uyghur” release
what's the legality of it in the UK?
Hard to say who caused what after certain point. Certainly police has been criticized before for risky chases, for example. Is risking lives of pedestrians worth a chase for a few dollars of stolen merchendise? Then things escalated, sure.

Chases are dangerous, and there are attempts to avoid them. For example, there's a system that some police are testing, that shoots magnetic GPS trackers to the chased car, and then police then track the car from a safer distance without putting pressure at the chased driver, and try to catch him when he stops.

This is self-contradictory. If they don't know who or what is inside, then how could they dare to shoot (grenades!) into the house?
The only people who are experts in a particular industry are the people running the businesses that make up that industry.

False premise. Most experts on/in a given field are employed within it, but employment/economic interest is by no means a prerequisite for expertise. Regulatory capture is a real thing, but it's fallacious to argue that because regulatory capture exists, governance is the problem. After all, markets are just as easily captured as governments, and businesses are open in their pursuit of market share and monopoly.
There hasn't been a binding referendum because a secession referendum does not legally exists in the current constitution. If the pro-independence side calls for these referendums and we all know those are non-binding, the only turnout those will have are of those who are in favor of secession. Those results cannot be taken in any way seriously.
Its very easy to just say to vote better. But when there is as much corruption in the government as there is in Spain its not that easy. When all the parties are "crap", then who do you vote for? If they make it too hard to start a party that goes against the current government, to the point of shutting down the government for over a year, then you can easily see that its not that simple.

Consider using toolbox[0][1], a tool built by and for Fedora (especially Fedora Silverblue and CoreOS).

Essentially, you enter an unprivileged container (no root, no daemon), but keep your username and home directory. What this means is you can switch operating systems but keep your environment and kernel.

I enter toolbox to build packages using build-time dependencies from Fedora Rawhide. Outside toolbox, my packages get updated as well.

As of 2019-10-30, only Fedora-based images have been officially created; however, others have made functioning PRs for Ubuntu and CentOS-based toolboxes.

Your containers can be saved to a special location that gets backed up. I back up mine with rclone[2] to my school's unlimited Google Drive storage.

> Fires become bigger and bigger the more fuel they accumulate. Security vulnerabilities lack this attribute.

Security vulnerabilities do have that property: if you find that buffer overflow, you can usually get an RCE, which will let you get root, which will let you compromise the network that the box is on, which will let you find additional vulnerabilities (human or otherwise) to compromise other systems. That's why competent security teams practice defense in depth, and have internal trip-wires and firewalls to limit the damage of any intrusion. That doesn't absolve you from trying to stop the intrusion in the first place.

Similarly, getting PG&E to maintain their equipment is not mutually exclusive with other fire mitigation strategies like controlled burns, defensible space, homeowner education, etc. If anything it'll free up resources for those interventions by switching fire departments out of, well, firefighting mode and giving them some breathing space to focus on more long-term practices.
So retener is like retention?

What self respecting scientist would ever claim that dead plants not burning would sequester carbon? If it's in a position to burn then it's in a position to decay which releases that carbon back into the atmosphere anyways. If anything, charred wood is more resistant to decay than a bunch of cellulose and lignin.
What they are referring too is that you still shouldn't operate these drones where they are not allowed just because they weight less than some FAA weight limit.
I'm not sure I follow you here. Which claim do you consider to be extraordinary, the claim that Epstein was killed, or the claim the Epstein was a suicide? Neither claim seems "extraordinary".
I am not in a position to judge the tactics they used but it’s hard to understand how the government could refuse to compensate the homeowner who had nothing to do with this and had no choice.

I would rewrite a lot of this now for general quality, but I think my thesis is sound:

Of note: this takes a fairly strict definition of what poetry even is, and I would argue that a lot of things that superficially look like poems don't accomplish any of what makes a poem be worthwhile as something different from prose.

At 13 miles distance, a Starship-size rocket is ~65dB, which is about as loud as a vacuum cleaner, and is the FAA noise limit for residential neighborhoods near major airports.

Near the rocket, the loudness is over 200dB, which the essentially the loudest sound that can be experienced at sea level, because the pressure is fluctuating between two atmospheres and zero. That sound level is enough to melt concrete.[1] Ground crews would have to be at considerable distance to avoid serious danger from the sound alone.

I don't know how you got the idea that a 1km wall is "easy", but a 13 mile wall is out of the question, let alone a rocket-resistant one.

University of North Dakota replaced Pascal with Modula-2 for their CompSci classes starting in the Summer 1988 semester. It was taught on their IBM 370. I found Modula-2 to be great for some things, but its I/O was horrible. I don't think that was a function of the 370.

C is really primitive compared to Modula-2's modules. It just feels (and I guess is) hacked instead of a well thought out design.
>Moreover, not even half of people in Catalonia (more or less) want independence.

The results of the elections and the independence referendum strongly disagree.

>Most people in Catalonia (1978) voted in favor of these constitution,

Unlike those that voted the Estatut d'Autonomia (see below), many of these people are dead. There was no alternative to this constitution as it happened in a very unstable climate after the death of the dictator, where the constitution was seen as the one way to stabilize the country and advance towards a democracy.

And the fact people want this is in no way unrelated to what happened to the Estatut d'Autonomia, which defines the relationship between Catalonia and Spain. The current version of the document was written in Catalonia, revised and cut several times until Spain was OK with it, then voted in a referendum in Catalonia and put into effect, only to be cut down dramatically shortly after by the constitutional court, acting on the behalf of a Spanish nationalist political party which gets almost no votes at all in Catalonia. This was perceived as a massive insult to Catalan people.

Not only the situation was not repaired, but Spain's attacks on Catalonia's self government continued. This is the main reason why independence took a hold, perceived as the only option going forward.
i think rule 34 may rear its head and howl soon.
Indeed. I hope the climate activists are taking this opportunity to learn about human behaviour once a situation is deemed an emergency - everyone will do whatever it takes, whether it's run a cheap (and, I assume, highly polluting) ICE generator, or burn wood in an open fire, to keep their house warm and food on the table.
And... there's the downvote brigade.
What UI framework using XML is there where you can end up making silly typos that won't be caught at compile time? Or basically any sort of typo? I would expect any decent XML UI framework is going to have some sort of validation schema defined which will be quite stringent as to what is allowed at a particular level. Not that I like XML Schema.
He said much more than that... For example, he pointed out that broken bones are very rare in suicide cases like this, and multiple fractures is even rarer.
I think the reverse is true. Rejecting geoengineering out of hand is essentially the "we shouldn't play god" argument, which is asinine and, in this case, suggests one's not taking the problem seriously.
OpenRISC also has divide overflow exception and integer overflow exceptions. Both are generally avoidably with the "exception with code" instruction, some little condition checking and some small compiler work.

MIPS, for instance, does not have divide overflow exception. It uses compare, conditional branching and "exception with exception code" instruction.

Most of the time (int32_t/int32_t) division is safe, because divisor is checked for zero in the code logic somewhere else and guaranteed to be non-zero. Sometimes (int64_t/int32_t) it is not safe (higher word is divident can be bigger than divisor) and checking code must be executed in run time. And execution overhead is so little that it is quite good design choice.

You don't have hardware that drains energy constantly for slight slowdown for code that is rare.

As far I can remember, RISC-V does not have divide overflow exception.

As a rule of thumb: if you can put something into software, please do (overflow checks, code scheduling instead of delay slots). Hardware is for things where software can't help (branch prefetch, out of order, etc).
Discussing this aspect, I'm still not sure what's the difference between really and theoretically.

We assume Falcon-9 first stages are really reusable, right? Not that they are claimed to be reusable, or they are theoretically reusable, but really reusable.

Then the question is, what is the criteria to be really reusable? Would only direct demonstration be enough? Then of course Starship isn't real. If there are other ways to claim real reusability, then maybe Elon's plans are real(istic). Also, historically, Elon claimed something for SpaceX before which later became real.

There aren't currently proofs that Starship isn't possible to create (with parameters similar to stated).
If that's the case, then github was already compliant with the order as the code is checked in. The Spanish gov't would just need the correct git hash of the repo state they are interested in.
A few others born in the 1950s that immediately come to mind: Martin Odersky (Scala), Guy Steele (Scheme), Robert Gentleman (R), John Ousterhout (Tcl), and (sort of) Simon Peyton-Jones (Haskell).

It's a simple example of ptrace() though.
This is something I have dealt with a few times. There really isn't a good resource to point someone from a math, informatics, physics, etc. to so they can get an understanding of how the field works. People end up recommending books like Alberts or other things that provide lots of pictures and names in a particular, small area of biology but don't give any idea of what the field covers or what thought processes work in it.

The closest thing I have is twenty-ish pages of notes I braindumped for a colleague who had just entered bioinformatics from computer science, but those already assumed lots of conversations and information already in place.

It's made even weirder because biology is three fields inextricably intertwined (genetics, physiology, natural history). For each one you can start at the beginning, but how do you provide some kind of linear path through all three at once?
Then how do you improve?

Currently there is no all encompassing theory for the design of languages or anything. So there's no prove-able way to design a language that can always be improved and always be backward compatible.

I imagine that such a language would be incredibly simple. Minimal syntax and all sugar and conveniences would be built with libraries.
The EC was hardly the same as the EU.

But sure, the EC not having had a defined process there was an oversight. But it was clear that the EC would not prevent the UK or any other member from leaving should they have chosen to do so. They wouldn't have arrested the Queen and replaced the UK members of parliament with EC people.

Article 50 really is just about establishing a procedure for an orderly withdrawal from the union (well, not that orderly in practice it would seem).

But you're not. Police might get you in half an hour, or tomorrow, or in 2 weeks.

Of course that requires proper documentation of the case (photos or even videos, fingerprints, ID of the stolen goods, ...) and follow up, both of which is less exciting than trying to outrace the perpetrator on the highway.
