The American indifference to architecture has a flip side: build an innovative building and you'll have innovative problems.

The authors of "Learning from Las Vegas" once got a contract to design a fancy repair shed for trains in Pittsburg. They picked one out of a catalog and got the remark "If we wanted this, we should have hired an architect." The architects thought that the application deserved a roof that didn't leak, but didn't deserve a custom design.

I know one alternative housing entrepreneur who has left a string of barely livable buildings in his wake. I know another who had more success because he kept building variations on a theme (A-Frame houses with Japanese-looking details) but even there when somebody lives in them for a year they realize that a square foot of space in a rectangular building is worth a square foot, a square foot in some other building is worth less.
No, with both Netflix and Prime Video, if you cancel the skip-end-credits-to-next-episode (either intentionally or by configuration) and watch the credits and then close the browser, the next time you tell it to continue that series, it'll start from the start of the episode you've just watched. (At least when watching in Chrome on Windows over the past year.) Given that failure, it would be entirely unsurprising to see other bugs in the progress-tracking.
A lot of political labels have a different, often opposite, meaning in Europe compared to the US. A liberal in Europe refers to classical liberalism. We also have many political parties, so a liberal here is not necessary a christian conservative. Politics is more nuanced.

I think the EU has a very important role to play, like this, but it shouldn't be the case that we have to be an empire to survive - either against other big empires, or mega-corps, both kinds of things have a bit too much power. The mega-corps we can regulate, and (unfortunately) - a powerful EU is needed to do it in this state of the world.
Interesting example. And I can replicate it pretty much exactly as you describe.

Two things comes to mind —

1. Would you consider this an “edge case”? Searching for things you want to buy in one language, but researching programming topics in another language?

2. Is the difference in experiences not essentially the result of Google’s data collection practices? Both specifically data about you and your search patterns and data in aggregate that DDG (presumably) does not collect on purpose.
It's true that I might not fully grasp what happens if I root my phone and it's part of the problem.

It seems that the process of rooting my phone already requires me to download an APK's (KingoRoot?) from sketchy websites. And then what this APK's does is not clear either... Reading a bit, it seems that that this software could be considered as malware...

So the process is not really transparent and is kind of scary.

Maybe if you have a different perspective or some resources pointing to open source alternatives?
Huh, great timing, it looks like I did my last 2hrs ingame last week. I hadn't played since the announcement, I thought I might give it some more playtime since its the funnest game of the decade - but dang these principles I have. Oh well I lose. GG. Well played. What a save!

Also interesting is that the Bing API TOS [0] has the below line that prevents users from using any other display advertising not provided by Microsoft:

"Display advertising that is not provided by Microsoft on any page that displays any part of a response."

DDG is big enough that they are probably on a completely separate agreement than the standard TOS though.

I don't know who's right but France has some 65M people whereas e.g. Lithuania has 3M people. And France provides 15% of the EU budget whereas (say) Lithuania provides 0.3%. I'm not sure listing all countries on a bar chart as if their opinions have equal impact on the fate of the EU is an accurate way to illustrate the situation?

Would the EU do just fine after losing the UK and a country like France? Would Germans still love the EU so much after they realize they're paying twice as much into the EU as the next country? Maybe you could argue it would, but I guess it seems far from obvious to me.
One can be pro-EU and still believe in a scaled back union. To say something even more inside the context of my post that you replied to - let's posit 70% are happy with EU now. Does that mean that EU should integrate more? Not necessarily - they might not be so happy after that change.
Underground container would have surprisingly terrible temperature control, because it would be in direct contact with the damp earth. Building a (waterproof) shell inside the container could work pretty well though.
IP is one of those areas where programmers like to imagine the law is a function definition which provides clear answers. And aside from obvious stuff like selling bootleg copies of a movie - it doesn't.

Whether the pattern of light hitting a building is copyrightable is likely to be an under-explored area of case law. E.g. in the UK it would probably have to be a work of 'artistic craftsmanship' which is not defined in the statute. But the Eiffel tower is in France. So now you have two slightly differing sets of copyright law.

In the end many IP cases come down to bluffing because the actual class of question has never been settled by a judge.

On the other hand you have other cases like Banksy today loosing a case on trademarking one of his paintings. Which was dumb because he'd have got further with copyright infringement.
Higher than what? I respectfully disagree:

Very cool project. Have not had time to drill into issue. But often when I set custom geometry settings in emulator windows there are multitudes of tearing shearing and aliasing effects.
Yes, since Java 9: it is called "jlink" and it's shipped with the OpenJDK. It assumes you have modularized jars.

An alternative is the GraalVM, which can compile the code as a C++ binary or a shared application, using LLVM as backend.
If you work with Webservices (especially JavaEE), you might also want to have a look at Quarkus, which also uses GraalVM to create single binary executables
Not enough to put it to a vote in most countries and it highly depends on the question.

That there should be internal talks about foreign policies is pretty much accepted, also having common environmental policies.

If you suggest a common welfare program, you will quickly find closed doors.

Honestly, I think the support in general is higher with people not interested in politics, aside from the enthusiasts that already dream of a republic.

Speaking of which, why call it the European Union when we could have called it the European Empire. Some things are so obvious...
One does not follow the other. EU can be doing badly while GDPR is fine, GDPR can be crap while EU is doing fine, etc

GDPR violations are handled per country btw. Further, GDPR is a regulation which EU member countries turned into law.
> ... "bunch of random hobbyists" ...

That beat Microsoft dead in the server market. In academic and scientific computing. How about the embedded market?

From my perspective the random hobbyists have Microsoft backed into a corner, with only their hold on a narrowing desktop market share remaining.

How many 0-days has Microsoft left hanging open for the better part of a decade while trying to figure out how to defeat open source software?

I think that if Microsoft focused on being the best of something they'd not have a problem right now. I think they focused on being the only of something, trying to make sure no one else could enter the market. I think now they're trying to use money to make themselves an asset in that market.
It's hard to have a "blameless postmortem" when 86 people are dead.
Yes, they have blame. Yes, they diverted profits from maintenance. Yes, they could have made less money and done more maintenance and (slightly?) reduced the likelihood of a fire. The issue is that the incentives are not aligned.

They are also regulated and have to ask for permission to raise rates. This is the double sided coin of regulated utilities. There should be mandatory annual rate hikes and those should be mandated for maintenance and safety. It is verified and if not done, the utility pays a fine of 2x the rate hike. These systems are clearly aging and that needs to be built into the legislation. What happens if PG&E just goes bankrupt? People still need power. The infrastructure is still in shambles. The legislation must have a path to sustainability. This feels very similar to how the legislature has crippled the Post Office.
Politics often ban things without any evidence. EU bans many things without scientific justification.
They are definitely cheaper, as long as you already employ technical staff.

I've worked as an IT volunteer in a small org, and there was no dedicated tech beyond me. Any kind of setup that I built for authoring the website would have to be as usable by non-technical users as possible, so I went with Wordpress. I had no replacement and there was no-one with enough technical know-how to handle authoring and troubleshooting a cheap static site, so I deliberately chose WP to minimise problems. The cost was 2-3x larger than the cheaper alternatives, but ultimately it was keeping the website up that mattered.
I agree that bangs are a killer feature of DDG, but I often see the problem of results quality brought up and I have to speak up about it.

Google's search results are good because they're spying on you and they already know what you want. DDG does not do this, so you have to be more specific. If you would search Google for "django", you should search DDG for "django python" or "django framework". This is not DDG being wrong, this is you needing to relearn your habits.
‘We were shocked’: RAND study uncovers income shift to the top% (cont)
The idea of polarity comes from the category theoretic notion of a universal property. Nice types have introduction and elimination rules but for negative types the introduction rule is "reversible" whereas for positive types the elimination rule is.

As an example, the function type `A -> B` is negative because the function introduction rule

G, x:A |- M : B
----------------
G |- lam x. M : A -> B

is a bijection: the inverse is

G |- N : A -> B
-------------------
G , x:A |- N x : B

The beta and eta equations encode exactly the two properties of this being a bijection.

Positive types, like sums/alternatives/coproducts have their elimination rule as their reversible rule, i.e. "pattern matching". So the rule

G , x1 : A1 |- K1 : B
G , x2 : A2 |- K2 : B
---------------------
G , x : A1 + A1 |- case x of { in1 x1. K1 | n2 x2. K2 }

Has an inverse

G , x : A1 + A2 |- N : B
---------------------------
G , x1 : A1 |- N[in1 x1/x]
G , x2 : A2 |- N[in2 x2/x]

The reason people say the positive types are "defined in terms of their introduction rules" is that you say "here are all the ways to build a term of this type" (in1 and in2 for sums) and then the elimination rule is exactly "pattern match on all of those possibilities". There is a dual way to think of the negative types which is "here are all the ways to use a term of this type" and the introduction form is a "co-pattern match" where you say "inspect all of the ways I can be used and say what to do in each case".

If you know about category theory then the idea is that some types are defined by representing a functor C -> Set (positives) and others by representing a functor C^op -> Set (negatives).

Variance is I would say is an orthogonal concept, except that the only primitive contravariant type former in lambda calculus is function which is negative.
I'm not that old of a user, but I've been using somewhere between 6-8 years now.

It basically boils down to two things: a) bangs, and b) just seeing the same results as everyone else does.

Usually when I can't find stuff on DDG, I can't find them with !g neither. I don't see myself switching to anything else unless I'm forced to (if it goes out of business or something).
Ask around who?

Talk to consultants, investment bankers, doctors, lawyers -- you know, other high-intellect jobs like engineers.

Lawyers are playing the game of billable hours. Consultants are playing the game of working day and night to produce the report by the promised deadline, to move on to their next scheduled client the following Monday. Doctors complete grueling residencies with "artificially" insane requirements, then follow insane schedules juggling hospitals and private practice. And the investment bankers I know haven't had a full weekend off in years.

I fail to see what's different about engineering, or what makes it inherently any more of a "game" than what billable hours or hospital residences or consulting deadlines are.
Its the alarm set by the Bedtime feature that lets you choose a sleep duration. You can easily rotate the slider to change it, for example if you need to wake up early. It also prompts you to get ready for bed.
My experience is that preparing a release is much more straightforward since Elixir 1.9, which added release support to the Elixir standard distribution. That said I tend to treat a release as a black box, I haven't tried to understand what all those files are and I just interact with bin/myapp.

However I still have two complaints.

First, the system on which the release is built and the system where it's going to run need to be similar (same version of the same Linux distribution). In practice this means that these days we build releases in containers matching the target host.

Second, releases can't run mix commands so we have to write boilerplate code specifically for releases for things like database migrations, etc. It would be nice if writing app management commands could be a bit more DRY.

I could be wrong but at first glance it doesn't seem that Bakeware addresses these issue.
Since this topic keeps coming up, I wish people would save and share with us these supposed failed DDG queries. I wouldn't say that DDG's results are better than the Google of 10 years ago, but I rarely have problems finding what I want. I don't understand how anyone can go as far as to say that DDG is "crap".

What would this look like? Clearly the entire purpose of being able to buy skins is to provide revenue to the developers/publishers. This is even more apparent now that the game has gone f2p. Therefore, it's not really reasonable to expect that any third party would be able to make and sell skins (like how any third party can make and sell software for windows, for instance). The only alternative would be something like a cd key store model, where you can buy from multiple storefronts. However, I'm not sure how that would benefit the consumer, other than possibly allowing them to use exotic payment methods.
> So what you're saying is we need more regulations to cover these kinds of cases?

Please quote back to me where in my post I say "more regulation".

> Aren't you "regulations" people usually against regulations?

??? Who is the "you" that is being referenced?

Perhaps you are projecting onto me positions that I have not stated and may not actually hold. I have not stated whether more free market is good/better or bad/worse, or whether more regulations would be better or worse.

I'm simply pointing out that, in addition to PG&E, there may be other parties that may share responsibility in the chain of events that led to the situation at hand.

PG&E operates in a regulatory context: is it worth examining if that context contributed to the current situation that California is in? Are the regulations a problem? Or how they are interpreted or applied? Are more needed, or less? Perhaps they need to be streamlined (proscriptive versus descriptive)? I have no answers to these questions.

Without a contract stating otherwise, it would be a work for hire. Copyright should go to the purchaser.
Ahh yes I've charged $100/hr and I have gotten almost no work despite being both an engineer and programmer.

I can make half that with employment.

If I have a sales team, maybe we can split the $100/hr labor once I find a company willing.
The phrase "snooping aside" invalidates your whole argument. It's not like using a car will harm Joe Average on average, but because of the snooping carried on by general-purpose computers, using a computer does hurt Joe Average on average.
> In that time Raspberry pi's have hit the market and the microcontroller market has never been better for hobbyists and professionals.

That's great if you want a microcontroller or a Raspberry Pi. What about computers with PC-level capabilities, or laptop form factors? What's going to happen when those devices fall under the arbitrary distinction of being "too insecure" for individuals to have full control of?

A couple of years ago, during a public Q&A, I asked Steve Wozniak what he thought about the architecture of control that Apple mandates on their "i-device" hardware. My question was to the effect of "What do you think about how I don't own my iPhone or iPad the way I owned my Apple II?" His answer took the form of the "we have to give up some of our ownership in order to have nice things" trope. When Steve Wozniak, of all people, answered the question that way I knew that the era of individual ownership (and the control that implies) of general purpose computers really was on the way out.
Yes, but that's a different kind of operation (they're run by the military).

The correct answer to my question is (if you go 40 rather than 20 years) that the bodies are very much buried in Northern Ireland (although the FRU was part of the British Army)

I've recently read about ICF (Insulating Concrete Form) houses fairing well in tornado environments, with an anecdotal report about a neighborhood whose ICF houses mostly stood after being otherwise flattened by a large tornado. Here[1] are some more reports on that. ICF seems like a decent compromise between a typical NA wood+drywall home and a moldy concrete fortress. Basically a lego-like form of blocks is built and a lighter concrete mix is sprayed into it then the blocks removed.

I've been tracking Handeeman[2] on youtube since about a year after started their homestead in SE Arizona which is how I first heard about ICF as they just raised a new ICF home on their property. The guy does some great drone and video work tracking his progress and it's honestly quite inspiring to watch them go. They are trying to rely totally on rainwater collected from the brief annual monsoon rains and eventually to be self-sustaining with their vegan lifestyle.

The difference, to me at least, is that you can't find Destiny 2 on Battle.net anymore - they entirely switched platforms. This is an end run around sneaky where they require you to have your steam account AND an epic account, so you can't play a steam game without an epic account - with Destiny 2 whatever platform you were on you needed a matching account.
