Well it's liker the German government saying that they will always write München even in English; that doesn't say anything about how English speakers (or German private citizens speaking English) might choose to refer to Munich. In Malaysia "Datuk" is used as a combined honorific with a name when speaking otherwise completely idiomatic English rather than being translated into "Sir So-and-so"

It's not really different from the Maharashtran givernment deciding to write Bombay as "Mumbai" in English (which is how my grandfather pronounced it even when speaking English).

Unaddressed in the essay is how the construct SURNAME given_name (e.g. BREL Jaques) is quite common in countries like France -- not used in social conversation but in all official contexts including work and school. And let's not forget "Bond, James Bond."

The "communitarian/individualist" split and even more so its onomastic implication is overrated IMHO as you can see from my French example above.
The main problem with such a stack based language for 'serious' programming would, I think, be the lack of dynamic allocations. The stack is all nice and fine if pieces of memory only need to be preserved inside functions and their children but if memory is to be allocated for an amount of time that is determined at run time there basically does not seem to be anything to do that. Any kind of solution to this would probably be pretty convoluted.
Throughout this thread you have commented lies about the partition and India as a religion based country. India was not and is not a country based on religion. You cannot be more wrong about it. Pakistan chose to be a Islamic Republic while India had all different kinds of people wanted to live as a free country after the British left. Religion was the last thing on anyone's mind. The freedom struggle was lead by people of all faiths regardless of their beliefs focusing on uniting India, not dividing it on the basis of religion.

There's no "panic checking". AFAIK in a no_std environment panic simply jumps to the panic handler, which is more or less an ordinary function.

As for what can panic, anything that calls the `panic!` macro. For example trying to read an out-of-bounds element from an array will cause a panic.

I've played guitar for almost 18 years and bass for roughly 5 years and also went to community college for theory and private instruction. Since then, I have recorded, played shows in various genres, and have toured the US and few places in Canada and Mexico.

You need to be able to find time to synthesize learning how to read music, playing music that challenges you but is within reach of your ability, ear training, and music theory.

You don't need to do this in a learning context, but playing with other people (especially if it's music you are learning) is a great magnifier in my experience.

I would recommend trying to learn new songs while also learning intervals, major/minor pentatonic scales, basic modes, scales, modes, chords, and arpeggios.

Counting rhythms is a little tricky to learn on your own. If you can, I would take a theory class or 2 to learn this; however, YMMV.

I used to be obsessed with this stuff, but I feel like it's not really important. It's sort of like the periodic table: you can memorize all of the factual information, but I would argue that what is really important is understanding the interaction of various elements. The table is a reference; it is not chemistry itself.
It’s more complicated than it appears. Europe, for instance, may indeed get colder as a result of the warm ocean flows from the west being cut off by melting ice from the Arctic.

Another LMI engineer here.

The deal itself would take place next year anyway. Any restructuring would be late 2020/early 2021 the earliest.

The deal provides an $86 exit for every single shareholder (including employees & managers who own shares).

Not saying no to such an offer makes sense, but it also implies that nobody is really convinced that these stocks will ever be worth, say, $100. All-time top was $120 in early 2018, since then the price plummeted and has been moving sideways.

If looking from this perspective - how does this PE firm plan to make money, especially that the deal implies that most shareholders don't expect this stock to rise by any means, which is a bad sign for any kind of publicly traded company?

These PEs would buy the company for ~$4bn. Last year's EBITDA is was just short of $400M - probably they don't want to wait 10+ years for their investment to pay back.

Maybe they will try to 'restructure' (i.e. cut expenses where possible, split the company into multiple companies along business units, deprecate some products), get as much profits as possible in the upcoming years and then try to sell the whole thing again to e.g. a tech company.

Of course this is just speculation, but keeping things 'as is' simply wouldn't generate enough returns to justify the all-cash investment.

I was given a mechanical keyboard with a set of blank keycaps (it was in my wish list). People thought it was black magic when I typed, but I never even noticed.

It's exactly like how you totally forget PINs, phone numbers, or passwords once you've typed them enough. You need a keypad in front of you (or at least to pretend there's one) and to just let your fingers do what they've done so many times before in order to figure it out.

I don't do well with laptops and mac keyboards due to their nonstandard key arrangements though.
But the optimistic view is that the name order normalization is motivated primarily by the desire to minimize confusion among speakers of the language in question (in this case, English). Using the Western name order for Japanese names in English could simply be a straightforward way to translate names without requiring a lot of additional explanation to English speakers. That’s the same reason we almost always transliterate the Japanese names in English, and I don’t see much argument to stop doing that.

To me it seems like a better idea is to promulgate the convention of uppercasing the English family name in contexts where different name orders are likely to appear. I believe I have seen that convention on TV broadcasts of the Olympics, and it seems like a good idea.
who's to say it is less reliable?
I forget the correct name for the event, but there's good precedent.

At the end of the last ice age, during the large scale melting, there was a great North American lake formed of melt water, held back by glaciers. When that finally melted into the Atlantic, enough freshwater was dumped to turn off the thermo haline circulation (inc Gulf Stream). Europe tipped into another mini ice age, as the whole globe warmed.

The upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 had similar consequences, but this could also be a reflection of the different types of audience the two companies serve.

Common Lisp has a standard abstract data structure called 'sequence' and generic operations for it. Sequences are either vectors or lists. Vectors are bit vectors, strings, general vectors, ... Sequence operations are then supported for all subtypes of sequences.

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/c_sequ...

There are some problems with this design. The main motivations for it were:

* basic operations in Lisp are type specific, one wanted to have some generic operations and a generic sequence abstraction over lists and vectors

* the low-level data structures like conses, arrays, tables are not object-oriented and generic

* generic operations in a dynamically typed language are slower, since there is always a runtime dispatch necessary

* to remove runtime dispatch one can use type declarations (which are optional in Common Lisp) or a JIT compiler (which is not used in most implementations, they do AOT compilation)

* the language at the type of this design had no agreed OOP extension - CLOS came some years later -> sequences are non-extensible and don't support adding new sequence types

The design of this was later improved in languages like Dylan: see the Collections of Dylan

http://lispm.de/docs/prefix-dylan/book.annotated/ch12.html

Recently some CL implementations experiment with extensible sequences.

It’s “climate change”, not just global warming.
Also when it comes to hyper partisan issues I’m honestly not confident that information can be smoothed out to arrive at something resembling the truth. If anything I would expect those topics to become an amalgamation of facts which are easily interpreted in any way. “Person says X” well obviously it means “A” but 2 sentences later says “Y” so obviously means “B” then in the context of the whole paragraph the meaning is clearly “C” but because of the climate around that time the implication could mean “D” or oppositely “E”.

Basically anything political can be manipulated and twisted to suit whatever ideology a group favors while never misquoting or distorting “facts”. I’m not sure you can ever smooth out bias, and depending on the issue, if one group is more active than the other, it’s just an information and effort war for who can monopolize the page.. and then that’s nothing to say about those who review and decide what edits are more correct/valid. But eh, oh well.

What I'm arguing is that disallowing castling totally changes the opening book and that a lot of the supposed increased "entertainment" being felt by Kramnik is the delight in having an a plethora of opening lines to explore (opening lines having long being exhausted by humans and machines in trad. chess). The fact that it leads to games which are more exciting because the king is more exposed is a small bonus – notice most of the article talks about all the changes you have to make to opening theory owing to the fact that you can't castle.

My argument is that Kramnik is not recognising that most of the entertainment value comes from the fact that this is a new game (granted that it is an existing game tweaked), not that it forces more aggressive less draw-y games.

Which is why I suggested, either go for a lot more novelty and combinatorial complexity within the game (Fischer960) or drastically overhaul the game (but in my opinion that has been done, and the game is called go).

You can disagree with my opinion but it's not as if I'm not understanding what being said to me, it's just that I disagree with what's being said to me.

I find that very hard to believe. After all, Lars von Trier (the most famous Danish director) made a tv series ("The Kingdom") and all the biggest actors (like Mads Mikkelsen) have had roles in tv shows. The less famous people in the business are typically just happy to be employed.

Though I know it wasn't your intent, I just want to call out explicitly that ozone layer depletion and global warming are two separate mechanisms.

Yes, CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons, the molecules that destroy the ozone layer) are also strong greenhouse gases, but they are present in such small amounts that their effect on global warming is negligible.

In the case of the ozone layer, we took action in time and the ozone layer is repairing well [1].

(Somewhat coincidentally - also from the same source - I just learned that warmer global temperatures actually inhibit ozone layer depletion.)

Hello my dear friend , You do not need to panic as all you need to do is to either find your self a credit repair company or you can find yourself a hacker to help you fix your credit score in a week or less . I was denied 6 times for a loan, I was first searching for a means to collect a loan from loan companies until I bumped into a forum where the only thing that was talked about was about programmers and hackers . It was also said that the quickest way to boost a credit score was using a hacker because it can done so quick . I wont lie , I ended up using a hacker to get mine fixed when I got out from jail for a crime I didnt commit . Greyhatzhackers AT gmail DOT com was the contact of the hackers I ended up using because they had the most reviews on the website . I first wrote them via text message +1 917-732-0199 and then we got talking on email . So I reckon you first text them to find out if they are willing to attend to you before you can email . Once you are able to get through to them , I am sure you will be fine .
DO not panic my dear friend because you already got a solution to your problems .

God Bless

It's a trap! How Double Dispatch can help in avoiding code smells in Java
I wrote malloc.fth for Mitch Bradley's ForthMacs, which ended up in OpenFirmware:

\ Forth dynamic storage managment.

\ Modified by Mitch Bradley, Bradley Forthware

\
\ First fit storage allocation of blocks of varying size.
\ Blocks are prefixed with a usage flag and a length count.
\ Free blocks are collapsed downwards during free-memory and while
\ searching during allocate-memory. Based on the algorithm described
\ in Knuth's _An_Introduction_To_Data_Structures_With_Applications_,
\ sections 5-6.2 and 5-6.3, pp. 501-511.

Forth systems running on C libraries can also call back to the native malloc/free implementation, but it's nice to have a pure FORTH implementation for embedded applications.
For those who program in Java or in OOP languages, a quick article that refreshes your memory on what Double Dispatch is, when and why it is useful, and how to implement it in Java.

I spent five years learning German at school and got decent grades, but also got nowhere in useful skill. I spent two years learning Latin at school and got nowhere near comprehension. I spent some months learning Esperanto on and off as an adult, and have spoken to people using it, read a simple book in it, listened to podcasts in it, changed my understanding of what it means to learn a different language, understood more about grammar and made many English word-origin connections through it, and enjoyed it.

Your hating on something which doesn't affect you, then refusing to explain your position is way more of a waste of time.
That might be true for many companies, but I think also that many companies could benefit from federation -- they just don't know it.

It has been standard practise everywhere I've worked that in business-to-business relations, people have to create accounts for each other's Slack networks.

That is ridiculous. Imagine having to sign up for separate email accounts on the email servers of all of your customers. It just wouldn't be acceptable other than in extreme circumstances; you already have an email account -- why shouldn't you be able to email with your customers/suppliers/vendors from that?

But we accept it with IM because we're so jaded by now. Though if federation was a more well understood concept, I'm sure multiple of the companies I've worked at would jump at the chance of not putting its business relations through the pain of registering dozens of accounts to IM with different people.

Here in Hawaii we've obliterated temperature records. July, August, September, and November were the hottest respective months ever recorded. For 20 straight consecutive days from Aug to September we set new records for hottest temperatures in a really brutal heat wave. August 2019 was the warmest global ocean temperature on record.

It made me realize that while global average temperature is scheduled to increase ~2 degrees, that is just the average. Some places on Earth won't see that much change because of regional climate systems, but other places in the changing vortex will have way more than just 2 degrees. The general consensus here is that 95 degree Honolulu is the new normal.
