So, you are suggesting that Asians' drive and capability in Asia would vanish for Asian-Americans in the United States? That too is immediately disproven based on the number of highly successful Asian-Americans in the US, such as the CEOs of nVidia and AMD.
What was under dispute is whether time is the only real currency. I say it is not and I say it's attention that is the real currency because that's what you really allocate.
Linux kernel drivers don't have to be GPL though. There exist plenty of closed source drivers for GNU/Linux. The "kernel" on Android devices are a small open source kernel and a huge amount of closed source blobs for wireless connectivity, sensors and the GPU.
Here I was expecting deep truths: spend time with those you love, don’t squander your time on meaningless drivel that neither enhances the mind nor expands the heart. But all I got were software engineering life hacks!
I mostly agree with the article. A good UX includes a simple and informative onboarding experience for the new users while improving the friction points of the existing users.

Yeah, and the exchange rates are terrible.

Time goes as 1/(1-V^2)^0.5 in this market. Everything is pretty good until you really want time to stop, then, blammo! The Energy goes to infinity and the Space pretty much looses a dimension. It's especially bad, because it the dimension you're walking along!

Trust me, fella, stick with dollars, at least you can print new ones.

Clojure's success lies in being a Lisp that takes advantage of the JVM libraries and JVM monitoring tools, without them it would be just yet another Lisp clone like so many others since the early 60's.
There’s really no shortage of ethanol. Gasoline is usually 5-10% ethanol. And with demand on that in disarray...
I'm not associated with the paper, but I don't think this will have the same kinds of effects. It's effectively using a photo without the user to discriminate the background from any subjects in the scene.

The neural network used seems mostly for allowing for variations in lighting and dealing with the fuzzy effects you'll usually get around the subject. Depth of the subject doesn't appear to be relevant here.
You are not alone. Smells/tastes like burnt dirt to me.
To me is seems as though Snap is playing a similar part as Unity did in Ubuntu. It's Canonical suffering from NIH.

Flatpak exists and works. The application I'm working on is distributed on Flathub, and I don't have the time nor the interest to learn yet another packaging system.

Ubuntu would do well trying to not just lead (which they do in some aspects, I'm sure) but also try to follow when it's more appropriate. The push towards Unity and now Snap just causes more fragmentation in the Linux community.
possibly 'a lot of people' meaning other power users though.

There are caveats on both the "wherever" and "whomever" from the legal perspective in the US (and probably most countries).

"wherever": there's a legal concept of "disparate impact" wherein even if all of the policies themselves are neutral, if the policies end up impacting certain groups of people (in a protected characteristic) more than others, then the company in question is considered guilty of violating anti-discrimination laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact

"whomever": businesses cannot refuse service based upon multiple; e.g. you can't refuse to only serve males vs. females, whites vs. Asians, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group
Abacus is an open-source, paper-based voting system, which allows voters to verify their recorded votes.

The system is based on several design principles:

* Paper is more trustworthy than machines.

* Voters should be able to privately track their ballots.

* The best security is transparency.

* It’s easier to find consensus with alternative methods of voting.

How is Abacus different from most voting systems?

* It’s open-source.

* It provides first-class support for ranked-choice-voting and score-voting.

* Voters have the option to track their recorded votes.

* The back end database is backed up on paper.

* Voters can change their ballots on a daily basis.

* It runs on commercial-off-the-shelf hardware (cheaper than voting-only-hardware).

You can find a white paper that explains the process at abacusvoting.com.

The white paper is mostly aspirational. For small groups of voters in a manual recount, I’ve posted a demo of a minimal viable product, which works fine for single-decision ballots and small groups of voters.

For scalable, complex elections, there is plenty of technical work to do on all the modules described in the white paper.

He is committed to Assange's cause, that's right.

However he allowed very precious information on how the trial was held to reach the public.

This is why his reporting, while not neutral, is very important.

I have not used the term "journalist" but reporter in the original title. Is "reporter" inaccurate too in your opinion?

> Over a forty year career, I only worked full time for perhaps 30% of that time. Sure, I left a lot of money on the table but my wife and I are still financially secure and working 25 to 32 hours a week on average gave me more time with friends and family, and time to write (which I enjoy doing).

Exactly, that sounds amazing! I'd love to hear more people talk this way when they mention their earnings.

From Wikipedia: “In the U.S., Verizon is using 28 GHz and AT&T is using 39 GHz. 5G can use frequencies of up to 300 GHz”[1]. That is high frequency relative to the frequencies of 4G, and WiFI or Bluetooth which are around 2-4 GHz.[2]

But they're a lot easier to group together than any other races. Like most other races, they have similar cultural values (parents/family is the most important thing, education is a close second), they have some shared experience (India was under British control for a period of time, China and Southeast Asia were both at least under European influence, if not control (See: Vietnam)).

So how would you group them? People from the Middle East at least share a common religion, even with many North Africans, and are arguably a significant subgroup of "Asians" overall, but the average Indian is a lot closer to the average East Asian individual in general. Buddhist ideas are stemmed from Indian religious ideas, and plenty of shared cultural beliefs exist.
Cannot agree more. For beginners the UX should be informative while for users in general it should be friendly.

Re: education, I think Bryan Caplan and Robin Hanson have got this one right: it's 80% about signaling and conformity, and only 20% educational payload (on average). As with so many bad systems, perverse incentives and social normalization prompts the vast majority of the participants to keep playing along, not despite the inefficiencies of busywork and administrative overhead, but precisely because of them.

Another vote for fish. I would say another benefit is that it has a reasonably great out of the box experience with little customization needed to get a lot of its benefits, eg awesome autocomplete.

The downsides have been mentioned, namely the lack of compatibility with shell scripts not written for it. In the same vein, until somewhat recently, operators like && did not work for it.

It’s still my daily shell, and I really only use something like bash when having to remote into a production server.
file open/save dialogs, i18n, drag and drop, image formats, web views, any sort of accessibility, themability that actually fits into native platforms, sometimes the ability to open new windows, many common controls that we just take for granted now that you have to implement yourself, sometimes limited amount of events you can reasonably handle based on the design of the api (IM gui's for instance).

I wouldn't say never use an minimalist framework. It can be handy for embedded debugging tools or for toy projects. But I wouldn't use one of these things for an application that I thought might have a few thousand users and some sort of life span.
LaTeX converts three hyphens into an em-dash.
I was always thinking it was mean something around Resource or Configuration ... For what it means it's just off how is used now, for example, the common `.prettierc` is a JSON configuration object, just that. I feel like culturally the `rc` suffix means Configuration.

Maybe unlikely but maybe still, this is one of those things how language evolves where a word/suffix has an original meaning that is lost in the practical use day today.

Well, at least! I had no idea the meaning behind it, and it amazes me how I never think it about it.
I'm not sure what your point is. But no, I'm saying that in aggregate, all else being (mostly) equal, a white American has an easier time becoming a Senator, CEO, or President in America. Whether Asians can be successful in Asia (i.e. where cultural and political institutions are biased towards Asians) is irrelevant to what happens in America.

Also, how does this affect the actual death rate numbers in NYC if unnecessary deaths caused by outcomes of ventilator use are factored into the picture? Could change the picture quite drastically.
Adding to that, force majeure is for unforeseeable events.

No, that part of the protocol defines mobile code -- code which an RPC caller can ask the remote callee to execute directly on the remote machine. It's intentionally limited because Cap'n Proto is not trying to be a general-purpose code interpreter. Most RPC systems don't have this at all.

KJ Promises -- the underlying async framework that Cap'n Proto's C++ implementation is built on -- let you write arbitrary code using monadic control flow. But that arbitrary code executes on your own machine, not the remote machine.

While Murray is sure on Assange side, his depiction of the trial is rich in details. This is not just one more piece of opinion.

Journalists also commonly blurt out their opinions in "editorials", that's part of "committed journalism", quite developed everywhere in the world.
Yes, it did happen. One had gone from our startup, to a senior test Engineer at Microsoft. The other has gone thru Engineering test lead, to VP Engineering, to owner/operator of a Falafel joint.

Anyway it was 15 years ago. Things were different then.

It’s a straw man article. No one is saying any UX is perfect, and their analysis is so superficial to be meaningless.
In .prettierc only c is the suffix actually. `rc` has never meant configuration for me. I actually always wondered about what it meant too.

Wow. So, you think equality is subjective?

Did they really develop a new engine? This is an interesting case then: Bannerlord feels like a really polished Warband.

The opposite seems way more common: a sequel that tries to be different but noticeably uses the same tech under the hood.

How are you sure that this method is not worse than the ventilator method and will kill even more people during the pandemic?

How many death did they get with this method? How many death would they had got with the ventilator method?
You can use ctrl+r for commands which are similar (say ssh to n number of servers, so the up/down would still take some amount of browsing the options)

Zero, probably, but one might argue that opinions of power users have somewhat of a disproportionate weight in that they influence close friends and family much more than those of average users.
This is another wristband kite-flying story on the BBC, I will bet good odds that these will be introduced into the UK shortly.
It didn't last time. Jobs went on stage to announce that Apple was starting a 2-year move to x86 from PPC, showed off a developer kit, then proceeded to announce a few more PowerPC products that were sold in the mean time. If they play it the same way this time and provide developer tools to make the transition easy-peasy, there's no reason it won't work fine.

>“I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

In the under 54 crowd Covid is no more deadly than the flu.

So any time you go outside during flu season you're playing Russian roulette?

The only people who need fear this bug are the over 54 crowd.

They need to remain quarantined until the vaccine is released or herd immunity is built up.
You're relying your intuitive concept of entropy ("disorder"....of things people care about) rather than the actual definition of the thermodynamic concept. Entropy can not be reduced, only produced, and the work people do does not look anything like what you'd do if you were trying to minimize entropy production.

There are also at least 2 orders of magnitude more species of insects on Earth than of birds (>1 million compared with ~10,000). An amateur birder can know a significant fraction of all birds, and all of them commonly found in their location, while no entomologist is anywhere close to knowing all insects.
Many people forget to ask the (essential) question:
"Good UX – for whom?"

For example a tool that might be exceptional to use for a professional might be very very bad to use for a consumer and vice versa.

Software (in theory) could give multiple target demographics with good consistent etc UX at once by beeing configurable. However there is a clear trend to making everything intuitive and easy for inexperienced users (like a iPad), often at the expense of people who have to use the software the whole day. In the worst case the whole target demographic of a software is powerusers but the UX still trades off usability for a flat learning curve.

Imagine a point of sale system. Retail workers have to use that stuff the whole day. This means it nearly never makes sense to sacrifice power user efficiency just to be able to tell some manager who will never have to work with the damn thing: "Look how easy this is to understand".

Guess I'll be keeping my socket AM2+ board around indefinitely, then! I just tossed a Phenom into it to buy it some relevance as the AthlonX2 which it held for the last decade was feeling a bit old, but I'm considering going back just for thermal reasons -- my god, Phenoms run hot.

That machine has all my floppy, cdrom, and internal Zip drives in it right now. I could stand to upgrade it to SSD though; the old 120GB is getting noisy and I suspect the bearings are shot.

Would it be that expensive to put ~4K of RAM in the keyboard’s microcontroller to act as an event queue? Write keydowns/keyups into the buffer; then push (or respond to a poll with) the complete contents of the buffer as a single USB packet; and flush the buffer on ACK. (I presume USB does ACKs?) 4K would be more than enough to buffer all possible key events a pair of human hands could create in a reasonable polling interval (~16ms, i.e. 1 frame for a 60Hz game.)

Add a clock chip to the HID device as well, and you could even get finer event-reporting granularity than the OS cares to poll for (i.e. the buffer delivered at (Polling Interval x N)ms, would contain events timestamped for (Interval x (N-1)) ms, (Interval x (N-1) + 1)ms, etc.) The timestamps could just be relative to the beginning of the interval, so they wouldn’t need to take up that many bits at all.
