I cycled Market every day too. Far and away the scariest thing is a bus on my tail. Far and away the most frustrating thing is a bus in front of me. I switched to Howard because the trucks forcing me to weave in and out of the bike lane were less of a hassle. Excited that Market is eventually getting a dedicated bike lane as part of this project, though.
It’s pronounced Editor IO.

Web editor in the sense that the editor runs as a web app, and the default rendering output is React (although other output formats are possible).

Mobile kinda works (minimum goal is to let users do simple edits from mobile), but we mostly focused on the desktop so far.
Not just for now, it's the best decision the US government has made since 1973 Vietnam War withdrawal. Not one, but _three_ superpowers were defeated in Afghanistan: Britain, USSR and the US. You can't win a land war against insurgents who are spread out, have religious zeal about their fight, and don't mind dying. Or to be more precise you can, but you'd have to raze everything to the ground and kill everyone, which, while doable, does not seem like a good idea in this day and age.
Read the WHO comment: Guangdong, China, tested 320000 samples with postive rate of 0.15%. So no they did not miss a lot of light cases. The death rate is real, esp for the vunerable population. Medical system will be overwhelmed if this goes unchecked.
Nobody wants to update a POS system "in realtime" - meaning while someone is actively using it and processing transactions. Just like nobody wants prices of items to change mid-transaction. It is impossible to explain these kinds of events to customers (sorry, but five of your eight Cokes are 20 cents more because we happened to be too slow to scan them and a price change came in between). In countries employing strict fiscal rules governing electronic cash registers - which are more and more on a global scale - stuff like that may even be illegal to do.

This is one of the reasons why that entire "cloud" SaaS thing is a bad fit for PoS systems to start with. It doesn't stop cloud apologetes to still develop and market such systems and customers who drank the cloud kool-aid to buy them, but what people actually want in that business when push comes to shove is a locally-installed system that is seamlessly offline-capable in all its core features, can send transactions out and receive new master data in real-time while network connectivity is available and can be updated easily and ideally via a centrally controllable and plannable process. And that have actually been bog-standard features for PoS systems for at least a decade or two, long before all that "push everything into the cloud" hype started.
Hope so, planned obsolescence is morally wrong for a company making world record profits.

I wonder how you get drinks and food to the top row, too. Doable, but not easy, and if you hit a turbulence at right moment you could have Bloody Bloody Mary all over the attendant and someone sitting on the lower row...
Yes. Can you explain the difference for me? The only difference I can find is that colonialism was done with the support of the people in the country, while immigration in white countries today is being done against the wishes of the people in the country.
That works both ways. 70% of features are common with other businesses, but the feature set is pretty diverse. My experience is that internal folk with a good understanding of the business hit 90-95% of the requirements without implementing the 200% of non-relevant broader industry requirements. YMMV.
Sure, if you conveniently forget about all of the French support, American independence was entirely due to those plucky militias.

> So you need to use an expression where the declared variable is used that results in a non-pointer type.

I think you are wrong here, you can't even make something other than what "results in a non-pointer type". Because by definition, you're making the type to the left with the expression. (That could still be a pointer type if it is a typedef'ed type; such as "typedef int * intptr; intptr x;" but I don't think you meant that by "pointer type" [0]).

And your first example is perfectly syntactically valid (other than missing the conditional statement that must follow the if-condition).

And no, "pX->" is not a valid expression. Was that a typo?

And yes, only a subset of expressions are valid. Basically, the expressions that you can form by applying subscripts, (x[3]), dereferences (* x), and function calls. Because, a declaration like "int x + 3;" or even "int x + y;" just doesn't make sense. I don't see a problem there.

Btw. I'm not saying that C as by the current standards is super straightforward and pure. It's definitely not, and C does actually have a lot of historical baggage that makes our lives a little harder. I'm just explaining the underlying unifying principle, which IMHO is actually nice. And honestly it seems you, too, are still confused because there is just a lack of clear explanations about C declarations. That principle should be much more well-known, and almost all problems that novices have with declarations are unnecessary frustration that they wouldn't have if someone would have told them the trick.

[0] By the way, typedef is another thing that seems to be super obscure, while it is extremely simple: It's just a keyword that modifies declarations to declare an alias for that type, instead of a (named) variable of that type.
My car clock went back from 2:00AM to 12:00. I was really wondering what happened.
Multiple people have made every attempt at having a discussion with you, and yet you continue to ignore this and keep repeating the same red herring. Nothing in your post has any relevance to the discussion, and your statement was false, as I showed you.
You can't even get away from it by pretending facebook or other social media don't exist. Someone will create a profile for you and set you up even worse. You have to be on all social media to protect your name. And it's not 12+, it's closer to 8+. Facebook is out though, that's where the parents hang. You don't want to be where your parents are.
There’s really an untold story in Coulombe’s career of how he managed to keep the soul of Trader Joe’s intact all this time, even through an exit and his retirement. Corporate cost-cutting and hyper-optimization should have turned Trader Joe’s into just another faceless grocery chain decades ago, yet somehow, it never did.
This looks really cool but I think maybe an image on the landing page might help

Revenge for 9/11?

Of course, since OBL was being sheltered in Pakistan by the Pakistani intelligence service ISI, and much of the support for extreme Islamism was coming from Saudi Arabia (as were some of the hijackers), and those countries were untouchable, the reprisals had to be carried out against the two Arab Muslim countries that were least popular with the US instead.

(Much of the supplies for Afghanistan had to be driven across a thousand miles of lawless Pakistani frontier and were occasionally attacked there; the Afghan occupation was also hampered by being unable to pursue or fire across the Pakistani border.)

Clinical Characteristics of Coronavirus

Well, I like "footgun" since it enables more possibilities. I don't like it to try to stop the programmer from writing a program.

But for the ability of a compiler to reason about the program, can't it first be converted to basic blocks anyways? Then it is irrelevant if you use goto or not, since the result will be same either way.
I think you kind of hint at interesting point: given how last few generation of iPhones are constructed (and that most current android phones take similar approach) it would be actually not that hard to make battery truly user replacable without any form factor compromises. Just replace the two screw-like pins with something that can be removed with some sane tool (think SIM ejector) and not glue the battery in place inside...
This is a pretty decent article with a misleading headline. Dyson himself doesn’t claim to be the representative of any counter-movement, he simply raises some (admittedly interesting) questions. I don’t know enough about climate science to verify his claims, but pointing out that more people die from the cold than heatwaves (and thus warming will result in less deaths) was something that I hadn’t considered. That’s assuming his data is correct, of course.

Not just the middle east, but the world over. We can't have normal relations with Cuba because they're repressive, yet we'll sell weapons to Vietnam? Politicians get maligned for simply meeting with Bashar al-Assad, but selling weapons to Saudi Arabia gets met with a shrug? The political establishment in the U.S., usually backed by the media, pushes a nonsensical foreign policy that's often against U.S. interests. Turning Iraq, Libya, and Syria into failed states runs contrary to just about any goal you can imagine for the U.S., but the political and media establishment decided to go at it full bore for whatever reason.
Cannibalizing sales of more-premium seats is something to consider, but another consideration is how they compete against other airlines.

If passengers were to show a strong preference for these seats over traditional premium economy, they might switch airlines. But of course it remains to be seen whether passengers would these better, like them less, or have no strong preference.
100% agree. I’m trained as an epidemiologist, and this coronavirus talk gets so frustrating. The problem doesn’t just boil down to R0 and CFR, but also considerations like how reliable is the data you’re receiving.

In grad school, our professors often commented that the unfortunate aspect of public health is that everyone views themselves as an expert (since we are all alive and have been sick at some point). This leads to a lot of overconfidence and incorrect statements/beliefs propagating.

I’m glad folks are interested in this - I just wish that interest would translate to academic pursuit and not armchair experts that have read a few blog posts.
The wikipedia article says skydiving is 8 micromorts per jump. So more like skydiving 50 times?

For what it's worth, seasoning in the oven is overall more effective in my experience.
What does `type Output = Self;` for the `std::ops::Neg` trait mean? It wasn't explained on the page.
This works both ways. There is a very strong incentive to create plausible scientific models that show climate change is not a problem if that is in fact the case. Even Dyson says he doesn't know any informed people who disagree with the mainstream climate change theories. This interview shows that he accepts the key premise that there is likely to be significant warming.

Realistically, the bigger problem is that massive changes to society are required to mitigate the risks of climate change. However as Dyson says, some people will likely benefit from climate change, or at least will be in a position where their personal costs of doing something about it are much more than what they stand to gain.

This is the political problem: overall richer people are the greatest contributors to climate change, and they stand to lose the least from the bad effects of climate change.

Trump and Scott Morrison come closer to admitting this than most, and politically it seems to have worked in their favour.
Which Twitter do you read? I've got so used to following links to conservative Twitter accounts and discovering they're banned it's not even worthy of note anymore. Twitter routinely even removes blue verification badges because of an expressed opinion. You have Twitter employees saying themselves they classify trump supporters as bots and ban them. I didn't even realise this was a matter for disagreement.
Not sure, they both seem to be saying the same thing to me.

I inferred OP essentially saying: business is IT. They're synonymous - and I'd largely agree with this.

All businesses deal with managing information, be it storing financial records, IP info, or transmitting data amongst users or employees. The I in IT is "Information", and all businesses deal with information/data.

Anyhow, the article starts out saying management often views geeks as being business challenged, which such a viewpoint is questionable given what IT is. Arguably, geeks are better at business (i.e. information handling and problem solving) than non-geeks. Hence, the point about respect in the article. IT Pro's won't simply respect someone because they're the boss. They respect those who are competent at solving business (IT) problems, regardless of demeanor or hierarchal rank.

As so, this bottom-up respect speaks volumes as to success of a team (as the lack of it indicates the leaders are charlatans).
Bezos fighting Trump. No history there. Also did Amazon send it's own security to help employees stuck in other countries ? I'm sure they would have charged people for help.
Ok, yeah it sounds like there’s a terminology and context breakdown going on. Typical healthcare setting vs. current COVID-19 setting etc. When you said

> Then again, the one guy claims that health-care workers only wear masks to protect patients, which is just cartoonishly incorrect (beyond in the abstract "protect patients by the healthcare workers not getting infected" way). To the point that is has to be malicious.

it’s not clear which (COVID-19/typical healthcare) setting is being referred to (maybe same for comment you’re responding to as well).

Apologies for any confusion on my part.
It's great for front of house staff but the inventory control/back of house feature set is extremely limited (disclaimer: I moved off of using Aloha day to day in 2016).
We invaded Iraq because of 9/11, not Afghanistan. That came later.
> e360: Are there people who are knowledgeable about this topic who could do the job of pointing out what you see as the flaws?

> Dyson: I am sure there are. But I don’t know who they are.

> I have a lot of friends who think the same way I do. But I am sorry to say that most of them are old, and most of them are not experts. My views are very widely shared.

One plausible explanation is that as people become knowledgeable, they no longer share his view.
Any powerful language (lisp, c++) has plenty of sharp knives in its toolbox. My point was that this tool made it easier to write code that behaves the way the end user expects. Primarily library writers (c++ is full of weirdo constructs that I never use in my code but which people writing libraries use to valuable effect — and which make my code better). While people complain that “c++ has this hard to understand feature” the real question is “does that feature make writing user code easier” and the committee (in ‘17 and ‘20) I hunk have taken that approach.

Sure you can write spaghetti code, but you can do that in almost any language. And there are popular languages that had explici design goals of limiting expressiveness in the hope of reducing spaghetti code (Pascal, in its time, and go today). I consider it like a balloon: without that power you end up with more boilerplate and repeated code, which to me makes following the code harder. But other people reasonably disagree.

Surgeon General Urges the Public to Stop Buying Face Masks
True, it's a fact. But what's not a fact, that CO2 is the reason for that. We humans can do nothing about it. How do you else explain some ice age with 10x the CO2 amount in the far past. But don't misunderstand that I am against a cleaner future. Efficiency should be always improved, in every field. But I am against unnecessary change just because of CO2. For example it's better for the environment to use your old car as long as possible instead building new electric cars. This is less efficient overall than repairing and maintaining the tech of today. The whole climate change topic is far more political than actually fact based.
what does this mean? you're okay if you're using 64bits? just briefly skimmed the 2038 wikipedia page, mentioned 32bit
> "Clearview does not maintain any sort of information other than photos,” the company wrote. “To find your information, we cannot search by name or any method other than image."

So a police force buys this product, searches for an image, and just gets more images. Really? What use would that be?
The travel cap is so ridiculously low. Even a 3 to 4 star hotel was over cap in South Africa and my PM friend had to pay out of pocket. Amazon truly hates its employees. The least they could do is free Prime but no not even that. Well let's start with bathroom breaks for the warehouse people first.
Or just ship the screwdriver with the phones? Unfortunately users performing their own battery swaps will tend to lead to compromised waterproofing, which doesn’t seem great.
Re-reading the Tweet I just noticed, he didn't mean "onto SN2", he meant "on to SN2".

Sometimes spaces can change the meaning, I guess.
I like that its impossible to do "string reversal" until "string" and "reversal" are defined. Oh you want me to sort an array... how do you define "sort" and "array".
That sounds great! The guys I was DM'ing for wouldn't have fallen for it though: they had a knack for confounding your best laid plans. E.g. they would have just read the warnings and bugged out. Or forced captured kobolds to go in first or something.

Later on in the wrecked flying castle there was a room with a clockwork horror in it that I was sure would give them a hard time. They trapped it in a chest right off and ran away before it broke out.

Another time I had a classic dungeon set up for them complete with a lich. They woke up the lich... and ran away. Like all the way out of the dungeon and then halfway across the freaking continent. They just left it for someone else to deal with.

Unrelated story time...

In another campaign one player had this dwarf fighter and he had rules-lawyered and finagled to get him specialized with two axes and multiple attacks per round. Three with the right and two with the left, five attacks per round. We nicknamed him "the Blender" because he could just chop the shit out of anything. He was stupid and reckless, a follower of the great god of war VTRE (Victory Through Reckless Endangerment!) and he was awesome.

This was a Spelljammer campaign (am I the only one who loved/loves Spelljammer!? It was so much fun) and one battle in particular they were fighting a ship of mindflayers. Scary right? The Blender jumps on a loaded ballista and tells the crew to launch him at the Illithid ship. He crashes into the deck, bounces up, grabs his axes from his belt, and proceeds to straight butcher the mindflayers. I forget the details but it was one of those times that the whole table is howling, the dice are hot, and it's just unbelievable but so fun no one cares.
No, I was thinking of something a little more sophisticated than that. Classes of strings would be sub-classed from others like English would have multiple sub-classes like American, British etc. Each class could have it's own parameters like whether it supports being reversed. You would not necessarily implement just for English. If you were making a palindrome finding app for example, you would only care if the class passed in supports reversing for example. Eventually you could have a language DB library, not so different that the time zone database that can be periodically updated with new rules.
I like thinking about how today would look like from the perspective of someone 100 years in the future. For example Bill Gates might be more well known for his philanthropy (like Carnegie now) or, on some kind of level Trump might be listed as the most peaceful president. Sounds bizarre - I guess theres a paradox of intervention and non intervention at work.
You can still have problems.

It may be determined that the computer's clock got too far ahead. For example, it booted and you cared about time, but NTP hadn't yet made corrections. Suddenly the time runs backwards.

Leap seconds may get interesting too, especially if you have to predict ahead or if the OS isn't updated often enough. (there is a 6-month warning) If you want to call leap seconds an issue for humans, then you aren't using UTC at all. You're using TAI. Software interfaces often ignore the distinction between UTC and TAI, and even between UTC and UT1, preferring to pretend these issues don't exist. POSIX is in conflict with international timekeeping, effectively requiring that there are zero leap seconds.
Or: We're now in the equivalent of 1982. Plenty of time to worry about it later!

You made my day. Quote of the year so far!
When your unfounded, conspiratorial thinking comes from AM talk radio, due to a supposed existential threat to freedom, an educated, informed, and well-spoken overwhelming consensus of independent scientists trumps a physicists off-the-cuff remarks.
Just so I understand, the original question has no answer because there is not a 1-1 correspondence between code points and glyphs? If there were, it would be trivial to solve.

But instead Unicode has formatting and control code points and that complicates everything?

Is that the gist of it or is there more?
What you say is correct, but is conflating a separate issue.

You are correct that FDA approval is required for a clinical test, and for that a CDC test kit must be used (even though the biochemistry involved is trivial and a grad student with access to the right tools could put together their own kit...)

An entirely separate issue is that the CDC has used its emergency powers to restrict usage of these kits--you cannot use the kit to test a patient unless the CDC gives the OK for doing so. Even though for a long time many of these kits were not being used to available capacity...

What? The U.S. invaded Afghanistan first, in 2001. Iraq came in 2003.
It wasn't the plan, but it was always a possibility. That's why they changed the welding equipment some days ago, because the current welds aren't good enough.
