I don't think this is the issue the prior article mentions about the bit string syntax. It's a notational problem paired with the combination of bit numbering and byte endianness.

The article makes it look trivial but if you note the ASCII diagram starts by labeling each byte-row with 7 not 0. Without some way to switch bit numbering (kind of like bit endianness) of the entire expression, we can't make something that looks like continuous bits in one view look continuous in the other.

A reduced example:

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
------------------------+-------+
0 5 X 0 | Y |
------------------------+-------+
1 13 X 6

Here we can't say <<Y:2/little, X:14/little>> (Y is bits [0,1], X is bits [2,15]) because we need to read <<X1:6/little, Y:2/little, X2:8/little>> (X1 is bits [0,5], Y is bits [6,7], X2 is bits [8,15]).

The interpretation of the contents of those bits will be done in "little endian order" (odd term since endianness is a byte order not bit numbering concern) as the expression says but because Erlang or similar syntax has no knowledge of the bit numbering we have in this diagram, it can't automatically assume that the first bit is numbered 7 not 0.

Laying the bytes out on a line makes the notational problem more obvious:

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 | 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8
------------------------+-------+---------------------------------
5 X1 0 | Y | 13 X2 6
------------------------+-------+---------------------------------

Even if we know that we interpret each number with a given endianness, the bit stream numbering here needs to be expressed separately at the top level. Generally, this is why serialized protocols prefer to start bit numbering at 0 like the written in the IPv4 header example.
It's because the system is broken to begin with.

Landlords usually provide little value compared to what they ask for and for a lot of them, it's essentially passive income, an investment if you want, but one that is basic survival for others. The US should not be having a homelessness crisis. We have more empty places than homeless.

The same way I personally believe Nestle or anyone else should not be trying to commodify drinking water beyond the "utility" grade.

> some weapons only work underwater, some only work in air! adding to the already mind-numbing micromanagement of equipment, not to mention the punishing difficulty

This is Terror from the Deep's biggest fail, in my opinion. Environment specific weapons added nothing to the game but more micromanagement.

If I remember correctly, TftD was bugged as hell, too.

I absolutely love the original X-COM and think it's one of the best -- if not THE best -- games from my youth.

I'm not sure that's entirely true.

Things you need to run a blog:

1. Server, preferably secure. This can be set up in an afternoon, maybe on a Saturday or Sunday. You can also probably find Ansible or Chef scripts to automate the provisioning.

2. A directory on the server to hold website content - time to set up is dependent on latency to your server, but is essentially instant.

3. A web server set up to serve content in said directory - probably an hour or two to get a reasonably simple setup.

4. Probably an SSL cert - can be automated with Let's Encrypt, including making your server aware of the cert. Initial setup, maybe another hour.

5. Something to make the content. I like Hugo, but there's lots of other static site generators. Choose a pre-made theme that is the least objectionable to you. It might take another afternoon to get this all set up between browsing themes and writing some seed content.

6. Something to get the content to your server (or you can just keep the whole setup on the server!). I use rsync to deploy a build whenever I commit to the Git repo holding my blog.

Nice to haves:

1. A domain name. It makes your website easier to find, and people are more likely to remember that over an IP address. This will be about a half hour to an hour to set up depending on how shitty your registrar is.

All in all, I spend $5 a month running the server that hosts my blog. I maintain it and built it during hours when I wouldn't have been paid or worked anyways. So I'm out $60. Everything else is free (mostly as in beer, but some is also as in the other kind of free).
Not a gamer, but sounds like the makings of a game that might teach some biology too. I wonder how they'd render the fighting.
For your future reference, I'm Brazilian and have always used US keyboards.

Every OS and DE I've used has the option to configure a US keymap with "dead keys", which works similarly to a typewriter - you type, for instance the acute accent (') and the cursor doesn't move until you type the next key, so if you do 'a it gives you á, 'c gives you ç, ~o gives you õ etc.

On macOS, I personally use the Brazilian - Pro mapping but there might be others. There's nothing particularly "Brazilian" about that mapping either so it might just work for you regardless.

I recall using one called "US International" or something similar on Windows and Linux.
Maybe I misunderstood your post then - why is needing the platform c++ compiler an issue on windows, but not mac/linux?

> just "the way it has always been done" in finance

Twenty years ago for many systems devs could do whatever they wanted in production. There were insider trading scandals and combined with SOX, regulators cracked down on it so now devs have lost at least write access. If you have an old system that relied on knowledgeable devs to fix stuff its a terrible situation where people just quit and no one can support it.
Those people would be surprised to learn how common "cash for keys" agreements are...

When a landlord wants to evict a tenant who hasn't been paying rent, it's not uncommon for the landlord to actually pay the tenant cash to leave! This is so the landlord doesn't need to wait months with no rent income while spending significant time going to court, etc[1].

In much of the country it likely takes several months. Each step in the multi-step process generally has lots of loopholes, gotchas and potentially weeks of waiting.

Catholicism is an explicitly evangelical religion. The idea that trans people want to turn everyone trans is a scare story. We used to hear the same scare stories about gay rights activists trying to turn kids gay. Generally, scare stories like this don't come from a good place. If you're saying that someone could be innocently misinformed, then sure, that's possible in principle, but good intentions only go so far. They'd still be spreading damaging misinformation about a highly contentious issue.

I don't think Jimmy Maher, author of the linked article, said he preferred TFTD.

"Unfortunately, Terror from the Deep does little to correct the original’s problems; if anything, it makes them worse. Most notably, it’s an even more difficult game than its predecessor, a decision that’s hard to understand on any level. Was anyone really complaining that X-COM was too easy? All in all, Terror from the Deep is exactly the unimaginative quickie sequel which the Gollops weren’t excited about having to make.

Nevertheless, it’s arguably the best of the _post-original_, pre-reboot generation of X-COM games."

I'm a research mathematician, and I use LaTeX/PDF for everything I write. I'm happy with it, and so is virtually everyone I know.

The only complaint I've heard, which strikes me as serious, is that PDF documents pose accessibility concerns for blind people. I imagine that this could be fixed, though, if effort were invested -- perhaps by compiling LaTeX into something else; it doesn't seem like an intrinsic limitation of LaTeX.

The static nature of PDF is a feature, not a bug. Research papers, once completed, don't change. (And researchers don't do "maintenance".) This assures that you can cite Lemma 6.23 of So-and-So's paper, and twenty years from now the reference will make sense. The purpose of papers isn't to be enjoyed or to teach, but rather to serve as the scientific record.

It strikes me that, in the software industry, one has to invest huge amounts of effort into ensuring that your software remains compatible with other software which is changing. Not something I'm eager to emulate.
Addendum: The only major exception here, to just recycling a press release with no other sources and no attribution (and making up things like "pensioner") or recyling the BBC report, seems to be Simon Sharwood of The Register, who did some legwork to obtain from an ISP a quote explaining SHINE, and that a AM radio can detect it; and attributed things to "Openreach's statement".

Pedantically (but with the justification that this is safety-critical): Electricity always takes every path, just in inverse proportion to the impedance of the paths.

If a fleshy 1000 ohm resistor touched that service ground, you'd get some electrons there too, and possibly enough to kill.

It’s hard enough to be cash flow positive with rental real estate for a single property. Especially when you consider the 75% occupancy rate that is considered the industry norm - at least when you go for a bank loan and need to count it as income - then you have the normal repair expenses and prepping for new tenants.

Then you add on the cost of a management company - 10% of rent + up to 50% of the first month’s rent. The only people who I know that can stay cash flow positive are those with no or a low mortgage and/or are very hands on with maintenance and repairs.

I don't know man, the top answer is clever, but it's also a pretty straight-forward UNIX way of doing it, and pretty easy to understand. Going around messing with trying to convert to filesystem blocks and obscure syscalls that only work on certain file systems seems way scarier in comparison. And you're almost certainly going to end up with extra characters at the beginning, so you having to do some version of the dd thing anyway.

The actual answer, as others have pointed out, is to buy a new drive. If the data has any value, it's worth it.
In keyboard settings (at least in Big Sur) this can also be rebound to tapping fn, which is quite useful for typing math.

This has been a huge problem for me. I've always loved working with customers and dealing with real problems under pressure. So have enjoyed my time on support rota - but quickly L1 guys learn I'm better at support that other team members so everyone contacted me directly. The grumpy devs who pretend they dont know anything about the live system get interesting projects, no interruptions and a much better resume. I've learned to say no. Its also a good reason to move teams as you're not the super experienced guy who has to fix the urgent gnarly support issues.

Tell that to the various socialist and former-communist countries where industrial capital has depreciated to nothingness with a lack of maintenance because the capital lacked a beneficial owner.

It seems like a good balance when you've streamlined your onboarding to the point that its a non-event. From a UX perspective you actually need to assure the user that something important has happened. If they did this for everything it would grow tiresome pretty quickly, but since opening accounts is done once, or at least rather infrequently you don't run that risk.

We have chosen the outfall to be in the middle of the circle and hexagonal sewage network.
Yes of course, the topography should be first of all determined, this is what we did in the Zaatari camp design.
We used Global Mapper to find the elevations, then we determined the outlet (lowest point).
The only thing saving rural areas are cooperatives. Our cooperative committed to running true gigabit fiber to all members within two years of announcing it as an option (and lifetime price locks!!!).

Then they committed to running it to all non-members living in the service area who sign up within 5 more years.

If it weren't for cooperatives, we'd be left in the dirt for decades. Our local township signed an agreement with AT&T back in the day for AT&T to offer high speed internet. So, their high speed is dial-up that they have never upgraded, but the agreement grants them a monopoly.

I blame the local township government for not knowing what the hell they were doing, and I blame AT&T for sitting on a monopoly and never doing anything with it.

Either way, Fiber now!!
I haven’t been a landlord in over decade and I only had to do one eviction. Again I am stating facts. You don’t have to be gentle. These are the facts. I didn’t say you shouldn’t be.

After that one eviction , the next time my rental properties became empty, I started getting rid of the properties. They weren’t worth the trouble.

Facts aren’t always nice. That doesn’t mean they aren’t facts.

Money is never “personal” to me. Once the real estate crash happened and my tenants started leaving, I did strategic defaults. I actually let one tenant stay at one of my properties for months without paying rent. I knew I was going to walk away from the underwater property anyway. I told them they could stay until the bank kicks them out. I told them I was going to let it go in foreclosure. They were fine with it. They had a place to stay for months, saved money and left before the bank evicted them. No eviction on their record.

Edit: it seems to be endemic to this post, anyone care to reply why I am incorrect or why they disagree?

Much like you, I'm a diehard X-COM fan and anticipated the XCOM reboot wouldn't please me, and again like you I was pleasantly surprised.

I think the biggest improvement is the streamlining of TUs from the original (which was always a bit messy) into the actions of the reboot.

> In contrast, I always felt the serialising that X-COM enforced to be an artificial limitation.

I disagree about this. I like turn-based games; they feel more cerebral and less twitchy than RTS'es. I can play XCOM while eating a sandwich or drinking coffee, while I can't play an RTS that way.
If you scope "everyone" to "everyone who matters" - courts, legislators, law enforcement - it's a pretty accurate statement.
> Check out this "map" of mathematics: ... Every subject needs a similar map.

I often find this sort of approach to be rather counter-productive. If I am learning something, I'd be happy with my local part of the graph, the things that I specifically care about. It is much easier to make multi-hop connections in knowledge when one is really familiar with their local knowledge cluster. I, for one, find an absolute knowledge graph of everything quite intimidating and feel lost in the sea.

LearnAwesome looks interesting. Good luck!

It's a good idea to dump your schema and grep for the key columns periodically. Then fix and monitor them.

(In MySQL, there's a number of ways to rapidly use up autoinc values, including master-slave replication (esp. Galera) and upsert statements.)

When I go through the RCAs for busy sites and there's no DBA, usually more than half of the outages were caused by mismanaging databases, often something as simple as a missing index. Doubly so for SV unicorns. - Coinbase is one of the most egregious.

This is true. Servlets are clearly part of the Component Oriented Distributed Middleware architectural vision of Sun Microsystems' architects circa late 90s. A beautiful component oriented architecture, imho, but yes, too overblown for your basic web-apps.
