I don’t see nuclear making it big any time soon. There’s too much up front costs, but in theory one could make use of any excess heat during off peak hours.

For example desalination, hydrogen production, indoor growing with the light cycle at night or whenever the low demand period is, etc...

For the near future I’d only expect small modular reactors to see much use in areas with unreliable sunlight for chunks of the year. Especially since they could use the waste heat for heating/growing.
Do you not realize the false equivalence they are making here to justify actually banning it? Banning first person shooter video games can also be done under the guise of having zero tolerance for glorifying mass shootings. And then any heavy handed enforcement actions can be justified by saying that only violent games are banned. Look at which patrons have actually been affected by their policy and how they are choosing to enforce it. Wake up!

(Lastly, hentai is obviously a very different thing than anime. It is clear that Patreon is targeting anime, as well as hentai.)
Well, now that you bring up Ubuntu, I wonder if anyone else out there dislikes its purple & orange color scheme. It might technically be a selection of compatible colors, but to me it's always looked ugly.
Am I crazy or does this look a lot like KDE?
1. FWIW this is a recognized problem under M4A plans those people would be taken care of.

2. Nobody has a right to earn a living by causing suffering to others.
This is an R wrapper around the C++ implementation https://github.com/bhatiasiddharth/MIDAS

MIDAS can help social networks like Twitter and Facebook detect fake profiles used for spam and phishing in real-time, at a speed many times greater than existing state-of-the-art models.
Even for Latin, apparently Ecclesiastical (Church) Latin, which is more familiar to most people today, differs in pronunciation from Classical Latin. For example, Ecclesiastical Latin uses a soft 'c', where the ancient Romans would have used a hard 'c' -- Cicero's name would have been pronounced like "keekero" in his day, whereas most people now think of him as "Sissero". Although the Roman empire was large and diverse enough that Latin probably had quite a variety of dialects and maybe Ecclesiastical Latin was one of them.

Hebrew is an unusual case because, like Latin, it was mostly a dead language that for centuries only continued to be used in religious and a few other contexts. It was revived in the 19th century. Because of its long period of cryostasis the parts that were preserved probably haven't changed that much, although necessarily it's expanded greatly into a living language.

Similarly, it's annoying that you can't reach over to unlock the phone and read a notification if the phone is sitting flat on a table - you have to pick it up and angle it toward your face.

Other than that, I really liked Face ID until it became compulsory to wear a mask at all times while outside the house. My kingdom for a temporary Touch ID sensor.
Yes, but no reason then to upgrade your phone to get a better camera at premium prices.

How about using the camera phone if you are strolling down the street and want to make a Pulitzer photo and getting a better camera for those times you know you will be making photos like an anniversary, etc.
There are many screenshot tools, Windows OS has probably the most out of the box. But there are very little which would be geared towards web content and HTML manipulation. And hopefully I can provide the best experience by focusing on one niche first.
How’s the speed?

Is it as performant as technologies like Django / Ruby?
If you look at the source code of most open source software, the devs typically install by default to arbitrary directories. They either don't know about, or care about, operating system standards. When Linux distributions package that software, they choose to change how that software works to align with standards. Usually their own standards, but those can often align with distro-independent standards too. But as a packager, you expect that you'll be modifying paths and making patches.

So really it doesn't matter where a random dev decides to install their software to by default, since either A) it's proprietary and it's non-standard anyway, or B) it's up to us to package it the way we want it.
The capacity is already "purchased", so even though it's available from a physical point of view, from a monetary one you need to pay a lot. That amount you need to pay to rent storage is the cause of the negative barrel prices.
If you have to do it "1000 times in 20 minutes" to notice the difference, then maybe it's not a big deal with normal usage.
Check out KDE Neon. It is beautiful (unless you are as sensitive to alignment or typeface issues as I am to lagging ;-)
From wikipedia,
>The development of deepin is led by China-based Wuhan Deepin Technology Co., Ltd. The company generates revenue through the sale of technical support and other services related to it.[12]

The distribution is widely praised for its aesthetics in various reviews, while also has been criticized for having used a statistical tracking service in its App Store, which was removed in July 2018.

I agree.

The 1957 Asian Flu pandemic is widely considered to be the worst pandemic since the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Most figures I see for UK deaths from the Asian Flu in 1957 range from 3500 (for just England and Wales) to 30,000 (which looks at just excess death in the entire UK).

Most estimates I see for 1989 flu epidemic in the UK are around 30,000.

COVID-19 death toll in the UK will almost certainly exceed the both of those death tolls. You're at 18,000 already, and you're likely not even at the peak of the curve yet. And almost certainly, we'll see a second wave come late fall and winter (sadly).
On the PDP-10/20 bytes could range from 1 to 63 bits wide.
RAID uses more than XOR once you get past RAID5, usually.

The lesser known bit about ZFS RAIDZ for example is that each level introduces new error correction code. RAIDZ1 uses plain XOR. RAIDZ1 has one disk with XOR one disk with Reed-Solomon. RAIDZ3 adds third disk which has Reed-Solomon but implemented differently.

The effect is that you have 3 different codes available.
The easiest problems get solved first, so people have to "go up the stack" if you will.

The implication of this is that we're running out of problems to solve, and eventually we'll have fixed everything. That ignores the fact that a solution to a problem very often creates new problems, and some of them will be equivalent to the previous easy problems. In some fields you could be solving the "easy" problems forever.
Akshually, Reading the Comments Is Good
What kind of burglar or gunman writes you a check for $300,000, maybe more?
I've been observing Elixir and Phoenix from the outside for 4 years or so now. There was a lot of initial hype and it died down a little bit but I'm really happy to see how far it's come and how polished everything looks. The lack of static typing initially made me pause but maybe it's time to get over it. As someone who tends to program in a functional style anyway (if a language supports it), losing the overhead of OO paradigms would not be a deal breaker and probably pretty liberating.
I think that's exactly what Pebble' problem was, unfortunately. It wasn't fashionable.
Is there a Python library for this as well?
Can someone verify their claims as being Actually Bad and not Bad Because China? Genuinely curious.
That's the idea behind parity files (.par2). I wrote a tool [1] that helps you use it on whole filetrees, because checking state and error handling may get tedious with the regular par2 command.

This is correct. @tailrec will simply cause a compile failure if the compiler DOESN’T optimize the function, but the compiler does still optimize tail recursion without the annotation.

It’s a weird but helpful annotation. For example, Scala won’t optimize methods that can be overridden (non-final and public/protected), which is easy to forget. So the annotation is a nice check/confirmation that the compiler is doing what you expect.
I don't know. People do not take cameras with them anymore and the SE 2020's camera system is much better than that of the 6s. So, if you have the money, I think that is worth the new SE alone.

Apart from that, I agree that the 6s is still surprisingly smooth and doesn't seen to struggle with recent iOS versions and applications, despite being a 5 year old phone.
That's not what parent is asking for (especially given the context). Sound cards don't perform "general purpose DSP" for "Max/MSP, etc", they focus on input, output, and closely related tasks.

I think the answer would essentially have to be a full-fledged computer running something like the AudioGridder server. Except ironically that still wouldn't help you run generic "Max/MSP, etc", it would only run the plugins supported by AudioGridder (VST3/AU). The scope would necessarily be limited by software, because that software usually expects to be running on your CPU.
Yes, there is a Python implementation available. MIDAS has also been converted to Rust and Ruby. Please check out the Github page for the links.
I'm not sure if treating lots of minor maladies is a good idea. I'd think that there's a certain threshold of severity, below which treatment is riskier than just leaving it be, and that a lot of the "unsolved problems" you're talking about are things that don't meet that threshold.

One of the reasons the US spends so much on healthcare is that we have an ideology of "treatment at all costs"[0] when doing nothing is often the right solution.

M4A gives everyone, rich or poor, the same base standard of coverage. And if you want coverage for other things that aren’t included under Medicare then you can get supplemental private insurance for it. That’s absolutely not outlawed.
Stupid comment maybe but I wished there was a global list.

I was surprised though at the limited number of sites inhabited continuously since earlier than 2000BCE. I would believe that good natural sites (natural harbors with a river) would have been continuously inhabited since neolithic.
The rise in popularity can happen later than the creation of a language, see Python (1991).

In my case I left Java for Ruby for web programming in 2006 because working with Rails was infinitely easier than working with Structs. I didn't even know that Ruby was a programming language before Rails.
I think we're still really far from using the potential of software. Just look how terribly inefficient and error-prone most processes in, for example, hospitals or government agencies still are. There might be no more quicksorts to discover, but there is still plenty of work to do, most of it fairly trivial.
I can buy an out of pocket (uninsured) MRI test in the US for less than $500. With a little bit of negotiation I could probably get it down to $300. An insured MRI can be free too depending on the plan.

My mom is a doctor, she worked ICU, ER, etc, board certified in 10 states and holds a medical license in 3 countries(yes, she did residency three times, it's a long fascinating story for another time). Eventually she decided to open a private practice for family medicine bec it was less stress, but she's got tons of experience, and is highly regarded, and she charged less than $40 a visit for the uninsured. She would spend ages talking patients out of procedures that were harmful or simply unnecessary. You got high end care from her each time.

The gist of this is: you have no idea what you're talking about and individual anecdotes don't prove one system is better then another.

I'll just add as food for thought: nothing is free, avg effective tax rate in EU is 50%

Avg ETR in the US is less than 30%.

Anthos is built on Kubernetes, so if you don't like it, you can go run your containers somewhere else. The Anthos promise is that it makes it easy to have a managed Kubernetes service on any cloud or on-prem, with the same management UI and controls.

I'm also a bit curious what a multi-cloud platform product not built by a single vendor would look like. Are there any credible OSS offerings in this space?
It’s as much a collection of software tools as a service. I don’t know that it even has a price, it may just be free but you have to convince them to let you use it. It’s specifically geared toward people who need a looot of hand-holding, and they probably don’t want to offer that kind of attention to all comers.
I wrote a thesis on reinforcement learning in Warcraft II. Our system started with zero knowledge and learned to beat the existing AIs about half the time.

It did this by sending its single starting unit to attack the opponent's single unit, before either could use theirs to build more.

Two identical, weak units fighting was just a coin flip.

Off by Two – Nick Desaulniers
This guy is seriously impressive. As the article mentions the BSIM models developed by him at Berkeley are the corner stone of all transistor simulations today, modelling thousands of subtle effects - an impressive feat, not only to build the accurate picture of a transistor and its environment (the effects on the transistor function from being near others, etc) but also to do it in a way that allows modern EDA tools to simulation 100k+ at once in a reasonable amount of time.

It's also impressive he made impacts in so many different aspects, transistors, solar cells, optical, etc. Well deserved award.
well, kde can be customize to almost anything, so... sure, maybe this look a lot like "some" KDE
what would you say are the benefits of using LiveView over react?
I would argue that bus drivers have a much larger impact in terms of lives lost if things go wrong, yet they have significantly lower wages and require less training. The same goes for pilots and air traffic controllers.
I think that there are certainly some issues with an artificial scarcity of doctors as well as overly restrictive regulations requiring MDs for certain procedures that don't require MD training, but the evidence shows that this is not the main driver of high costs. Physician salaries are only about 8% of healthcare spending[1] and according to my own research, only about 20% is due to all healthcare worker salaries (including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, etc. The remaining 80% is medicine, medical supplies, capital costs (MRI machines, hospitals) and administrative costs. Unfortunately there's no single cost that could instantly solve everything if eliminated; there's just a lot of middlemen each taking a tiny portion that add up to a huge total cost.

In France, the use of chloroquine has become a huge debate, with a mediate-savvy professor advocating loudly for it: Professor Raoult.

From what I understood, in the end, it does not work so well, even if there are some subtelties (said professor is mixing chloroquine with another drug).
You have to be able to see that the numbers do not add up, right? 200b is how much out of 3+ trillions? Also, just because Canadian adminstrative costs are hidden, does not mean they are proportionally lower than in the US
Stay Small
I don't know. There are minor maladies that don't need treatment because they get better on their own after some minor suffering, but there are a lot more minor maladies that over time only get worse. For example anything related to bad joints, or arteriosclerosis. Any effect of aging.
For GDPR the consent of all participants is missing. In a recent HN discussion some people were explicitly complaining about their chats getting published.
Because there's definitely a Western/European bias in the study of history, I recommend Jack Goody's "The Theft of History" [1]

> Professor Jack Goody builds on his own previous work to extend further his highly influential critique of what he sees as the pervasive eurocentric or occidentalist biases of so much western historical writing. Goody also examines the consequent 'theft' by the West of the achievements of other cultures in the invention of (notably) democracy, capitalism, individualism, and love.

Same, switched to Samsung A70. Every night at bedtime I swear at the FaceID not working nor (!) the under the screen Touch ID until the 8:th try. Even a headphone cable touching the screen will wake the screen up.

Having rounded sides is also something that just reeks of Windows XP blue theme to me. Playful but utter useless (for the grip). I have to remember to not squeeze the phone too hard every time because then it will hit the ground or clicking on the sides.

The old iPhone SE was amazing. I wish the new one had the same form-factor with better battery but put the touch id on the back to allow for a near edge to edge screen (but keep the steel border so I don't accidentally touch the screen).

While dreaming, I wish the reviewers would actually try living with the phones, because pretty much all the reviewers can be replaced with a spec-sheet at this point.
It's cool that Apple made a cheap phone, but what I actually wanted was a small phone and price wasn't that relevant.

I liked small form factors more as well (though I am on an XS now). However, the ATP folks correctly pointed out that while many tech people classified the SE as 'the small iPhone' [1] and are now upset about the size of the SE 2020, for many non-tech people the SE is 'the cheap iPhone'. It is clear that most of the markets wanted bigger phones. And to them, the SE 2020 is a bigger phone than the old SE (thus good), while still being very price competitive in the iPhone lineup.

[1] The question is if Apple really wanted to make a small phone or just something that fills a price range. And one way to reduce the production price of the iPhone SE was to reuse the iPhone 5s and now iPhone 8 production process. Also, it differentiates between cheaper/expensive models. In other words, the size may just be side-effect of what the SE happens to be based on.
Is Quarantine over Yet?
I relieved. I should keep my iPhone 7 for a few years more.
If it's anything like the Samsung A70 variant of the button then run away. It's utter garbage.
Not for the general partner(s) who have unlimited liability for the entity’s obligations.
I like it a lot. They're compatible and they're warm which makes for a much nicer environment when you look at it for hours.

The cool and elegant design is impressive at first but gets tiresome usually.
Not for the past 10 years, when govt-guaranteed loans were discontinued. As far as student loans in general, let's see -- no collateral, no down payment, no proof of income. A bit riskier than a mortgage, I'd say.
be careful with alcohol, it can destroy screen coating as well. make sure to check website of specific hardware manufacturer.

"Facebook also noted that alcohol-based wipes and cleaners are not recommended for use on the lenses. The lenses can be damaged by alcohol, so users should opt to use a dry microfiber cloth instead. If a smudge is being stubborn, users can dab a small amount of water on the cloth as well, but alcohol should not be used on lenses at all, according to the company."
That makes it completely impossible while reading code to tell what the size of int is even on your system. And worsens header file include order problems.
Transistors are either on or off in digital circuits, ideally. A simple inverter is two transistors stacked on top, one connects the output to ground when on, the other connects the output to vdd (the supply voltage) when on. Of course only one can be on at a time, as otherwise there would be a direct connection between power and ground via the output wire. The residual current is a measure of how 'off' a transistor is. As planar transistors scaled down, it was harder and harder to fully turn them off, so in effect every transistor was consuming an inordinate amount of power even when off by enabling this leakage path from vdd to ground. FinFET improved this by having the gate that controls if the transistor is on or off on 3 sides (the fin) , which meant the transistor really could be turned off more completely.
I always disliked orange. Not sure if it's because all those old school books in the 70's that used black and orange for the only colors. But that is the associations I get from orange. Old school books.
Well just like here, what clang is implementing with _ExtInt doesn't mean it is what N2472 will look like in the end.

Just like Annex K turned out to look a bit different than what Microsoft sponsored.

Which are still available to Windows developers.

You can argue that but what’s your point? The current truck driver training system works well enough AFAIK. Do you demand more training?
Hi,

I am 43. I am probably atypical for my age range, as most friends would have started with an Atari, Amiga or Amstrad computer, and I had a PC at home from maybe 1984. I always complained that I had crappy games as a result, but for the rest, the PC was fine. I still remember text only Microsoft word.

I started programming in Microsoft BASICA, getting lost in GOTO hell. Then, Pascal, and, at age 13, I put all my savings in buying a C compiler (costed 100€ or so), and also getting a graphical library through shareware (remember ordering the floppy disks by mail).

At university, I moved from C to java, and I more or less stayed there as java is good enough / common for my trade in entreprise IT. I also do not like scripting languages, and prefer compiled languages (faster, errors found earlier).
Higher traffic might take speeds from 100mpbs to 70mpbs. Not 100mpbs to kpbs.

Nuclear with hydro/pumped storage is an interesting combo: use the extra nuclear power to pump water up into a reservoir and then when extra energy is needed, move the water down through a turbine. The reservoir is basically a battery in this context.

Waste heat isn’t really recyclable, or it wouldn’t be waste heat :).
You can cancel a Promise by using AbortController and its AbortSignal, still experimental but supported in most browsers already.
Trial licence is implemented using the canonical way provided by Google. This was a big mistake from my side, don't get me started how bad the entire flow is. Google could have solved this with one API call but they chose to leave it to the maker to combine different Google services to achieve this. This is why it needs access to googleapis.com to check for licence. For all other pages, extension uses activetab permission which allows to modify content of the current tab.

I am learning as I go about extensions and building a product in general. So far I am learning mostly from my mistakes as some of it is specific to Chrome Web Store. It would be really great to connect and chat. I will reach out.
