I don't think that's true. The audio experience in many movie theaters is markedly terrible, due to the lack of proper volume calibration these days. And for many people, their car's audio system is the best that they own. I suppose the bottleneck would be delivery, but there are high-end, low-latency networked audio solutions out there, so streaming to a decent quality should be possible.
What do you ask teens to accomplish with C? And all the memory management and pointers? The worst way to enter programming. It needs to be taught with what is meant to be fun by doing it.
If you have nc you just need to reimplement echo.c and the task is over, as you can fetch busybox in several ways.

Heck, a simple while loop over stdin would be enough.

From the K&R book:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

int c;

while((c =getchar()) != EOF){

putchar(c);

}

}

Or just run nc from a < redirect, but, the shell could restrict that maybe.

AFAIUI by noting that the dice could have been thrown ahead of time and then looked up, we can treat it as a function of time and then it becomes as though another part of the information in the past light cone which doesn't explain the behaviour of particles, as exemplified by FIN, MIN & TWIN
Fwiw most drive-ins broadcast movie audio over FM radio. Audiophiles could bring a good tuner and nice headphones, or a high end portable speaker and get good sound in the car or outdoors.
I happen to agree about the movie quality, but that seems to be pretty subjective too since my wife thinks otherwise. I never really understood the fixation on sound either, but each to their own. I can tell you what I want from a movie night: long island to numb me to all this low quality entertainment and comfortable seats. Drive-in won't work for my use case, but I doubt I am a target audience.
"Literary" writing, the modern sort at least, has a bad reputation in no small part due to precious affectation in prose style. You can get the sense that few in the field have ever quite gotten over reading Infinite Jest and thinking its author the coolest dude in the world.

Me, I feel for the guy. He and Hemingway can drink together and commiserate about what it's like to have one's legacy overshadowed by a legion of half-clever, half-competent would-be imitators whose interest in the work extends only as far as it burnishes the grift that these days we call a "brand". Granted, that legacy is in itself no world-smasher, but both men at least had the skill of writing well, and a knack for rewarding a reader's trust besides. Of their imitators, no such favorable portrait may accurately be drawn.

I don't think that's entirely a fair critique of Auster, though. Given his age, he's much more likely to be a wannabe Norman Mailer. Everything else stands, and is it any wonder so many hold the genre in contempt when Auster so ably stands in microcosm of modern "literary" writing and thought?
I'm not a religious man, but one quote from a religious leader has always stuck out to me. "Interest is a terrific servant and a terrible master."

The polis, bazaar, and pulpit have always been at odds as a triumvirate. My bet is on the bazaar. Even when people are put in jail economics is manifest, using cigarettes or other trinkets as currency for favors and meager supplies. The "market" the author rails against is a strawman.

We use "free" as in zero (immediate) cost, and also use the same word to mean liberty.

In source code, I would expect that kind of conflation to be a source of subtle and vexing bugs for the application.

This could only happen in places out in the sticks, such as Ocala. Where I'm from, another south florida suburb, the drive ins were paved over and made into shopping malls decades ago. Our son has only seen them in a period movie/show, such as Stranger Things, so sometimes I would describe them in a bit of detail.

No one is going to these things for nostalgia. They are going to because they are bored at home, under quarantine, and looking for something to do. If the governor didn't excempt drive-ins no one would even bother.
The gist of the argument is that while oxygen is available at no effort, clean, potable water without pathogens and contaminants is certainly not and is a modern miracle. It’s only been a little over 100 years since the discovery of chlorine killing bacteria and whatnot in water.

As for what portion of the population is needed to provide clean water, I don’t see how that is a useful or measurable metric. Certainly the discovery process of cleaning the water, the materials science in creating the pipes, learning about lead poisoning and changing that, and so on and so forth is a huge effort in my books.

Also, going forward, access to clean water is looking like it will be a source of conflict. It’s not in the timescale of the next 5 to 10 years, so people take it for granted, but certainly the grandchildren of today will have to deal with procuring this “effortless” resources.

One might even say the same for oxygen in developing countries where poor people have to live next to factories under a permanent cloud of pollution. They literally can’t go for a run because of a lack of clean air!
cost. it is stupidly expensive to include any sort of commercial MCU core(s) in your chip. Ancedata: ARM won't even talk with small ASIC fabless companies, even if they are willing to shell out big upfront costs and royalties per chip that ARM demands.

Being polymorphic over ownership is the most important problem Rust should be looking to solve, IMO: it would make a lot of other problems trivial. I don't necessarily think it's easy, but I do think it's tractable.

The choice to focus on GATs is exactly what I was thinking of. I think Rust will come to regret it, as it comes with most of the costs of full HKT but leads one into working with a limited subset that's not so theoretically well-founded, and I'm not convinced the forward-compatibility is as good as claimed (the semantics may extend to full HKT, but it pushes syntax in a direction that seems likely to make for a frustrating syntax for full HKT). I hope it ends up working out.

Not really. The rate is movement-to-movement, not a ratio to units of time.

So, "meters per second" can be restated as "meters per 0.00001157407 earth rotations" or meters per 15", where 15" is fifteen arc-seconds.

Hours and minutes are just placeholders.

0.00001157407 = 1 / (24 hrs * 60 min. * 60 secs)

15" = 360° * 60' * 60" / (24 hrs * 60 min. * 60 secs)
Okay, as a Korean, I would just like to chime in and say that Samsung is much more than a smartphone/digital gadget company. It’s a very big company.

It not only produces displays and semiconductors, it also makes home appliances, it builds apartments, it runs hotels, it runs hospitals, it issues credit cards and runs insurance, etc... which means that the Galaxy Note 7 crisis is pretty much nothing to that gigantic company.

Also, keep in mind that a lot of Koreans (including myself) doesn’t think Samsung positive — it’s hard to get unbiased opinions about Samsung (whether it’s positive or not). So if you’re reading this, please take it with a grain of salt.
It's a question of alternatives, isn't it?

2 meters is only sufficient for droplet transmission (e.g. breathing). Aerosol transmission (e.g. a sneeze or heavy cough) can travel much further than 2m. Granted these are for confined spaces and outdoors it will depend on factors such as the wind. But 10m sounds perfect.

At the moment we are all isolating for months. So yes if 5% of the population needs to isolate because they were 10m away from someone who had it then so be it. I'm perfectly fine with that.
Label support comes via JMAP. As for how this is exposed in imap.fastmail.com I'm not aware somebody checked yet. Here https://www.emaildiscussions.com/showthread.php?t=76159 is a feature discussion around this feature. It's bound to appear there at some point.
For my more routine analysis of LOE/budget, where it is mostly a straightforward summation, I have a template spreadsheet that I just reuse.

A simple extension to bring colors to your readings.

It only needs minimal permission (active tab and storage).

You can customize the colors in extension options and view the current pos-tag of a specific word by using "inspect element".

It uses wink-nlp parser so it's english only and far from perfect.

If the extension gather enough interest, I'll do the natural language parsing with neural networks.

False positives are ok, even a massive amount of false positives.

Currently we all have to change our behaviour around everyone, all the time. Even if you are in New York that probably means there are “false positive” behaviour changes (behaviour changes for no reason) all the time – simply because we lost control of the situation and cannot currently contact-trace our way out of that situation.

The idea behind these contact tracing apps is that they make only really sense once you have to outbreak well under control (through drastic measures). The goal is then to relax measures (probably not to abandon all of them – handshaking is probably dead and the recommendation will remain to stay away from other people in public and forget large gatherings for a long time, as well as a lot of travel …) and be much more targeted with who you impact through such contact tracing.

Obviously they cannot replace proper contact tracing, but they can be a helpful tool in the tool-belt and increase the effectiveness of standard contact tracing and testing.

If there are, say, 500 detected active cases in a country like Germany (which is probably around the limit of where contact tracing still works, even with many more people working contact tracing and much expanded testing capability) contact tracing apps can provide an additional signal and increase the speed of standard contact tracing approaches, especially since we know that much of the spread is pre-symptomatic.

Even if this tool overestimates the infectious contacts someone had hundredfold and we assume a ridiculous R0 like 10 (so someone infects ten people on average but a hundred times that many people are actually detected by contact tracing – so 1,000 people altogether) that would still only place at most 500,000 people in quarantine (assuming an upper limit of 500 detected active cases that can be handled before you lose control again and have to place the whole country under lockdown).

That’s a huge number but probably not as impactful at all as the current measures that are in place. (Obviously you need to put measures in place to make that possible: mandatory, automatic and paid sick leave for anyone who is told to stay at home for a week or symptom-end plus one week. Stuff like that. Some countries are probably better prepared for that than others.)

Even this blunt instrument would be much better than the current situation.

I was using since 10.3 and my, 10.5 introduced Quick Look, Time Machine, Boot Camp, Spaces and folder popup in dock which made me feel it has become totally good enough for daily use. Then 10.6 optimized the entire OS when I was surprised that a new OS release actually required less disk space to install and more performant on a same hardware.

I agree some of those security features are good to have but it's like they forgot about adding anything worthy from users' perspective.

I was at Joyent when we deplatformed some group. The vast majority of the company was for this action, based upon what they interpreted as "their values." Their values were not shared in whole across the entire company. Some of us believed that speech, no matter how repugnant it is, should not be constricted.

This is the nature of the 1st amendment in the US. The government cannot restrain speech.

A private company was another matter. They can do whatever they want, within the boundaries of law. 1st amendment doesn't apply in this case.

The concern I had was that this would become "easier", and more frequent.

It has. This was the nature of my concern, that the slope would be more slippery.

Justifications for banning are getting "easier". Groups celebrate this deplatforming as "victories."

No one seems to worry much about the long term consequences of this. Well, Cloudfare did for a while, but then it stopped.

Right now, its hard for me to tell if bans are for ToS violations, or political wrongthink. I am troubled by this. ToS violations are generally fine, as long as the ToS aren't onerous. Most aren't. Wrongthink violations ... think of when the political winds shift, and when current rightthink becomes wrongthink.

Niemöller's poem[1] becomes an apt metaphor in this case.

> At the heart of great cinema is great audio,

We had cinema for decades, before any audio had even been introduced to films. And for the first decade or two, audio on films sounded atrocious -- roughly like an AM-radio track.

Somehow, I think "great cinema" will survive a few years of a few drive-in theaters offering stereo-FM-radio audio quality.

I don't think that is the point of the article. Even a state machine that is very well written can be wrong if it's fed with the wrong input. And this is the core of the problem with hardware development.

You want to make sure that the hardware you are designing never ends up in a situation that you didn't foresee. So you want to make sure that during hardware verification you go through every single possible combination of inputs and you want to make sure you exercise every single possible outcome.

The quality of the hardware is not about the language you write your hardware in. It's about the tools, the methodology and the infrastructure you use to exhaustively test your hardware.

And this is the point of the article, current processors are so complex and do so many things that the hardware verification suffers from an explosion of states to exercise.

As much as I would like precise and accurate language, the reality is that people have varying degrees of knowledge of any field. That is why computer technicians and doctors alike have to ask deeper questions when making a diagnosis.

Even within a field, people may have slightly different interpretations of what a word means. Take consumer electronics. Say someone plugged in the wrong power supply and blew an inductor. If you don't know what a power supply filter is, it's garbage. If you do know what's going on, it's a simple repair. Now look at the case of a bad firmware update, where the device cannot reach recovery mode. Someone with a knowledge of embedded software development may know how to fix that, particularly if they have connections with the vendor. Most people will consider it damaged beyond repair. The thing is, you can have one person who is knowledgeable about software and another about electronics having entirely different interpretations of what bricked means. The only real commonality in the definition is, "I cannot repair it." For someone with negligible knowledge about how consumer electronics, that is going to have a very broad application.

Personally, I think that bricked means that it can only be repaired with specialized tools (including soldering irons or JTAG interfaces). But hey, I'm sure a lot of people would beg to differ.

EDIT: missing don't.
Not trying to be cynical, but to me this seems to be a way to get the mass public "okay" with contact tracing. Then somehow they "mysteriously" manage to get more accurate information from other sources (location, wifi beacons, data sharing etc).

But they'll just say "the information is only from this source, we pinky promise!".
Code generation is definitely important to talk about, but that really wasn't the focus of my first example. Even if Foo and Bar were both reference types, the same reasoning would apply.

In C#, you can do:

class MyClass : IList<Foo>, IList<Bar> { ... }

In Java, you can't do:

class MyClass implements List<Foo>, List<Bar> { ... }

I know this is commonly viewed as an annoying restriction, but, IMO, it's rather an indication that you're writing code that doesn't respect the contract of the generic interface. For example, what should the `Count` property return if you're implementing IList<T> twice? (C# wiggles around this with explicit interface implementations, but I think it's fair to argue that that's not a strictly superior approach to Java's).
Do you have proof they're applying NLP?

Hey, isn't there a connection between diabetes and heart disease?

James, you are not a researcher, you are a serial capitalist. That you cannot see that the link between zinc and COVID is a possibility means that you are probably just stealing my ideas. But hey, that is where science is these days.

And for those who wish to believe the nonsense that zinc plays no role in CVD, please read this:

https://www.nature.com/articles/aps201825

The association between zinc deficiency and the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has been supported by numerous studies. Supplementing zinc can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and protect against myocardial infarction and ischemia/reperfusion injury.
