That also reminds me of when I regularly used to visit our local library after school (junior in high school at that time) which had these job terminals (win95 boxes connected to the internet through a fiber connection) for people to use when looking for jobs.

Apparently they disabled basically all keystrokes while the application ran so we could only use a trackball to navigate the job board web site and print.

I never figured out how to just enable keystrokes again so I just unplugged the power cord, booted up in safe mode and edited autoexec.bat and uncommented the line for the application to autorun on windows boot up and rebooted. Free fiber internet and a lot of IRC for weeks to come!

However one of the librarians came up to me one day and asked "aren't you a little too young to be looking for a job?" and I was just joking and replied "yeah well, it's rough times you know". She looked concern and then looked at the screen and said something like "What's your name? I don't think you're allowed to do that... I'm going to have to tell you to get up and leave now".

I was indefinitely banned from using the computers and job terminals.

I have an experience related to this. We used to run a [scalable SQL engine, PaaS] for ~$1000/mo, but it wasn't cool enough, so people started migrating stuff to Spark, Databricks, S3 etc. Now the infra costs are ~$8000/mo + several people to manage it build tooling around it (~$6000 per person).

Do you understand the notion of per-capita emissions? Australia has higher per capita emissions than China, and thus must act accordingly.

NSW has a hosepipe ban. Is my household exempt from this, simply because there's only 2 of us, and 2 is such a small number in comparison to NSW's population? No, everyone must do their part. Australia is not.

I am willing to bet that changes once Starlink is within the finish line. My dad talks of a small town here in Canada that refused to upgrade the towers and when a private citizen started applying to create his own company magically it was suddenly economic for Telus to put up a tower.

I know that I feel ripped off every single day by what we pay for mobile data compared to the rest of the world. If Starlink suddenly shows up there is an alternative to Bell Rogers Telus. They should be shaking in their boots. It should be easy for Starlink to undercut their business because they made a business out of customer gouging.

And what have actually China done 'to take away or undermine the democracy' in Western countries?
Wouldn't it be similar to any copyright protection claim, similar to YouTube (or Napster, or LimeWire, or MegaUpload, or...)? If they don't legally have the right to share the media, the default action is to remove it without even investigating the claim (because of the scale Facebook and YouTube operate at).

Assuming Facebook cannot legally host the media, and they choose to do so after being informed of its contention, they are choosing to say they are legally in the clear (or that they don't care about the law, which seems a lot more likely).

IANAL, but it seems simple enough on the surface. Of course Facebook will claim otherwise, and without being required to make it easy to report contentious media very few people will actually do so, and sharing a photo without permission is not the same as copyright protection. I still think the same basic logic applies though.

What is the basis of this recommendation? I appreciate the desire to catch lung cancer early, but I dont think your suggestion is particularly based on evidence.

I am by no means a lung cancer expert, but currently there is contention about whether lung cancer screening in smokers is worthwhile, and I doubt at 6 monthly intervals. Some studies have shown benefits from screening for smokers, but I dont think any high quality evidence exist which shows a clear benefit of screening. There are options for screening, chest xray, CT chest. A CT chest is more sensitive than a chest xray but doing it every 6 months is going to cause much more harm than good.

My more general point is that these are recommendations which need to be evidence based, and doing more harm than good through false positives, excess radiation exposure, etc is a real risk. I dont think its helpful to make suggestions that are not based on evidence.
This is not an algorithm problem. It's a people problem. Start with yourself: http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html

An algorithmic solution would be to rigorously hide everything that looks like mere unproductive outrage from public discourse. However, not only would that amount the severe censorship but it'd probably also not be exactly easy to implement.

Besides, platforms such as Twitter or good old-fashioned news thrive on outrage. If you take that from them there's probably not much left, which is why it's not in these platforms' interest to do something against the issue.

So, it's back to square one: Yourself. Keep your identity small and try not to perpetuate outrage on the Internet.

You need to view this in the context of all the things facebook is doing. They might get fined $550m for this one thing, but how many projects is Facebook engaged in that skirt regulations or outright breach them? Dozens of projects? Hundreds? So you can't compare the $550m against only the facial recognition, you've got to compare it against the entire suite of questionable things they're doing. THe point is that the corporate strategy is to skirt these lines and the success of that strategy is the cumulative success of all the projects along with the handful of fines they hit. So you've got to have disproportionate fines because you know enforcement is patchy.

I smoked for 8 years before quitting three years ago.

I breathe easier, got my appetite back and my social life improved. I can smell things. I can taste food again. I can talk to people without worrying about offensive breath.

When I started learning C++, there was't a C++ compiler available for my Atari ST (late 80s), there was only Borland C. So instead I used the C preprocessor to emulate classes, virtual functions etcetera. Not everything could be implemented this way, but it looked like C++ close enough for me to learn it.

It will get better. My teens were exactly the same. If your family isn't being supportive, trying seeing your GP directly (local doctor; I don't know what country you are in) and see if they will help you.

There must be something wrong with me, but I don't get the Observable (the fact that its name is the same as that of a primitive in functional reactive programming, as in rxjs, with which it has nothing to do, doesn't help either).

Observable seems to be a cross between Jupiter notebooks and plain old javascript, but sufficienly different from either to feel uncannily bizarre. Those imports in the bottom of a notebook! And I am still not sure whether it has access to the whole node_modules ecosystem or not (since it has to run in the browser and doesn't seem to involve a transpiler). I remember looking at some notebooks that involved React and thinking to myself that they felt plain wrong.
AWS tells you how much your are going to pay. The bigger problem is that they only tell you the accurate amount once a month.

And while they do allow you do go over a million screens to find out "what it is that I am using" out of their hundreds of services, there is no one single place where you can see "Everything AWS" without some hack or a third party vendor.

> ... who need some form of protection on their share price ...

I expect it will be quite difficult to defend that position. The value of a company to its owners is more or less its expected earning potential. That is to say, low share prices in and of themselves don't necessarily cause bad outcomes for the shareholders in the long term and have no impact at all on the prospects of a company. There is no reason to protect something that isn't important. If anything, the very high returns vs share price should drive additional investment in the sector, although the link there is a bit tenuous and speculative if market manipulation is involved.

Personally I don't see a problem investors are forced to - crazy as it may seem - buy things because they want to own them for the long term.

It's a very common marketing practice for companies like Intel to market through to consumers in order to generate demand. Intel runs a end user facing campaign for "Intel Inside" this drives computer vendors to want to incorporate Intel parts into their machines because they can use this branding to sell machines. It's the same with 7nm, TSMC is doing this so that Tim Cook can stand up at WWDC and say some bullshit like "The worlds first consumer 5nm CPU". Because marketing needs a spec to brag about, the average consumer isn't looking at Cinebench scores.
I see, thats smart.

My question would be how would I start out doing something similar?
Because the I was thinking I would just have a look at the rasperry pi 3 b+ schematics (which do not show the Wifi Module, because they are incomplete, so I guess SDIO or UART?). Compare it to the schematics of the compute module, design a board thats connectso the Cypress Wifi Module and use the same drivers used in the rasperry pi 3 b+.
You can try and build and test redundancy and contingency management, and you can lower the frequency of surprises through good choices.

But you're still going to get woken up at 3am sometimes. Things break, in unexpected ways. Maybe the hot spare didn't actually work when a raid set started rebuilding onto it. Maybe third party software did something unexpected. Or maybe something broke and your failover didn't actually work because of subtle configuration drift since the last test.
It depends. If you're not just working with pure Java but for example frameworks such as Spring or other languages such as JavaScript, too, you pretty much have to use either the Ultimate Edition or environment-specific editions such as WebStorm.

Language and framework support is not what sets IntelliJ IDEA apart but working with frameworks and languages without IDE support can quickly become quite tedious to the point that it offsets the benefits provided by IntelliJ IDEA over other IDEs.
The sun is not white, it actually is a lot of different colours that then happen to look white. White is anyway a rather difficult colour to use as base if you want to show any detail.

#define lambda(ret_type, _body) ({ ret_type _ _body _; })

I found this one really fascinating, they're using both statement expression and nested functions. Their (reformatted) example of:

int (*max)(int, int) =
lambda(int, (int x, int y) { return x > y ? x : y; });

macro-expands to

int (*max)(int, int) =
({ int _(int x, int y) { return x > y ? x : y;}; });

So they have a statement-expression with just one statement in it - the value of that statement is the value of the whole statement-expression. And the one statement inside the statement expression is a declaration of a nested function named _. Statement-expressions decay their return types, so that function gets converted to a function pointer. And thus your "lambda" is a pointer to a GCC nested function.

I'm not a lawyer or legal expert, but I think that over the past century the entertainment industry has successfully gotten a myriad of laws and court rulings in their favor which complicates something like that a lot. Data is new and fluffy and there are still many areas where it's unsettled who owns the data. The EU probably sees the opportunity to write the rules in a more "blank sheet of paper" kind of way when this industry is still relatively young, and not repeat the mistakes of the entertainment industry where the governments have been sleepwalking for the better part of a century.

That's basically how C++ was originally created, or the prototype, "C with Classes", albeit with a custom preprocessor. [0]

> In October of 1979 I had a pre− processor, called Cpre, that added Simula− like classes to C run-ning and in March of 1980 this pre− processor had been refined to the point where it supported onereal project and several experiments.

Recognising that you could do it that way is kinda awesome. Maybe not entirely uncommon, but you drafted a powerful bit of software yourself.

Interesting question - I don't think that there's a current British accent that would rhyme those two words, and 1834 seems too late for the Great Vowel Shift to have made any difference between then and now.

Not every rhyme in the poem is a full (aka "perfect") rhyme; there are a few half rhymes (cold/emerald, thus/albatross). So there's at least an argument that Coleridge didn't intend a full rhyme here.

You absolutely do need an experienced team to operate any significant cloud deployment, or misunderstanding the cost model will kill you.

Unless cloud is simply an excuse to kill off a really, really complacent in-house entrenched IT dept, it will not save anyone anything cash-wise.

> assert(std.meta.trait.isSignedInt(@TypeOf(val)));

well yes, that's my point. You could also write

void signedIntsOnly(auto val) {
static_assert(std::is_integral_v<T> && std::is_signed_v<T>);
}

in C++ but it's quite preferable to refactor this inside the types themselves (for the same reason that you want to refactor any other kind of code in general - besides you don't want to go read the implementation of your functions every time do you ? IDEs show us only prototypes for a reason).

How would you for instance specialize a generic function in Zig ? Does zig accept

fn complexmathoperation(val: var) void {
if(isInt(@TypeOf(val))) {
}
}

and in another module

fn complexmathoperation(val: var) void {
if(isSomeKindOfLibrarySpecificMatrix(@TypeOf(val))) {
}
}

and properly dispatches between both ?

I'd be hard pressed to say that it is "as powerful" given what I'm seeing for now.
I don't have an opinion, that's the point.
