> every NBA player who has won league MVP in the lottery era (>1985) was drafted in the first 15 picks.

I mentioned Steph Curry because the original commenter did, but in general it's very strange to focus on the MVP. That's a small sample and cherry-picking the results, only talking about the successes and overlooking all of the draft busts. There's only 1 MVP in the league every season, and some players have won it multiple times. It was won 5 times by Michael Jordan, who incidentally was drafted 3rd (behind Sam Bowie). Only 21 players have won NBA MVP during that period.

In any case, that MVP record doesn't hold in other sports. For example, NFL MVP Tom Brady was drafted behind 198 other players in 2000.

Some long-suffering Minnesota Timberwolves fans might say otherwise.

Did the same trip, just the other way, in 2010. Clean, comfortable, cheap (comparing to night trains in Central Europe). Couldn't get much sleep though, because as the only European in the car, so many people wanted to chat with me. And we were all very slow in looking up in the dictionary.

> I miss the "save the rainforest" focus on environmentalism in the 90s.

Yes, I agree with you very strongly, and I would love to know more about how many others are out there, especially professionals in the conservation field, that share this concern. The modern obsession with long-term planet-level climate change threatens, unless we qualify it, to be a terrible thing for short-term habitat conservation. And short-term habitat conservation is everything: extinction is for ever. Human suffering is very sad, and we will do our best to alleviate it, but nevertheless we as a species absolutely must not cause extinction of other species on Earth. That is for eternity and transcends human concerns. Wild animal species have extremely specific habitat/vegetation requirements. I think that a generation is growing up that does not understand this: they think that planetary atmospheric concerns are the be-all-and-end-all of conservation concerns, they think that all trees are the same and all birds smaller than a pigeon are the same; they think that reforestation is a solution regardless of species composition of the replacement trees. They seem to be prepared for their great-grandchildren to live in a future where we have averted large-scale economic hardship and suffering but sadly lost the Earth's remaining rainforests during the 21st century. That is not an acceptable future. But currently, the world's governments and super-governmental organizations are, when it comes to environmental issues, entirely focused on climate change. They are not saving the rainforests.
Yeah, that might be nice for some people, just give me a 13" display with a HDMI input. I'll figure the rest out.
> don't think it's humanely possible to write a test command without shooting yourself in the foot in an exciting new way

That's a weird claim. Could it be that you have never really learned shell programming or read the man pages? Or can you give an example? We have lot of production code with many test statements and I don't remember when we were bitten last time by some "surprising feature" of test.

I agree that test works differently than comparisions in many programming languages. So you need to understand how it is different. And you need to be disciplined about quoting, otherwise surprises will happen when you have user-controlled input and the shell starts to do word-splitting. But if you use shellcheck you will be reminded of quoting everywhere. It's not a problem specific to test anyway.
My comment was about the time they wanted to cross borders, not for a (suspected) attack.
I can relate.

My late father had an incredible penchant for mechanical watches. Whether wristwatch, pocket watch, wall clock or alarm clock. Even large church clocks fascinated him immensely. It was the artistry of the mechanics that made his heart beat faster.

I could not understand this for a long time. Could not understand why one spends several thousand euros on watchmaking seminars to learn the craft as a hobby.

At some point I learned that as a child he wanted to become a watchmaker, but this did not work out and so he had to take another profession (which he nevertheless loved very much). Only late he has fulfilled his childhood dream.

And actually, it is only today, after he has passed away and I have occupied myself with the watches he had collected in the course of his life, that I can really begin to appreciate the little bits of knowledge he gave me every now and then.

Today, I wear few watches myself. They are the ones that were especially precious to him. And I appreciate them very much. Both in their external and mechanical aesthetics.

The compiler very rarely knows that UB exists in the program.

To give a concrete example: the compiler sees this:

```
while (<expr>) {
if (p == 0) { do_thing(); }
*p = 42;
}
```

In this case, the compiler wants to move `do_thing()` outside the loop because it's expensive. It also knows that it would be UB for this branch to execute if `*p = 42` executes, because that would result in UB.

Therefore the compiler can assume that if the loop runs at least once, then `p != 0`. At no point does the compiler have any information about whether the program is in fact UB.
As an Italian, that's really a lot of pasta.

I eat 80gr of pasta, a bit more at the restaurant (they make larger portions), I hate big bowls of pasta and have it no more than 2/3 times a week, usually less.

Pasta is a kind of food you have to eat and then wait that gastric acids kick in to take the hunger away

If you're trying to eat pasta until it makes you feel full, you're having too much of it.

Pasta releases water over time and too much of it will also make you very sleepy, especially after lunch.

That's why there is a tradition in Italy of not working too much after lunch and shops used to reopen in the afternoon at 16.
People had too much pasta (they had not much more to eat, until they had it)

But if you eat it once a week I guess it's ok, my grandma used to eat pasta with bread everyday and she lived 96 years...

I did a lot of sport in the past, it doesn't really keep your weight down, to lose weight doing sport, while also eating a lot without limits, you should do it 12 hours a day.

I was luck enough to be born genetically skinny, but now that we are older many of my friends are fighting against weight daily, despite being professional players on a strict diet until their 30s.

> if this snippet is legal C code, then LLVM can't treat it as if it were UB?

It can in principle for the purpose of this example, since this is not the C code that the programmer originally wrote. This just means that if the snippet is legal C code, LLVM needs to do something extra during its translation to make this legal LLVM IR.

But I am also happy to consider a different example, where this is the original C program. Is this legal C code? To my knowledge, basically everyone agrees that the answer is "no, this is UB". That includes both compilers (that will happily "miscompile" this code) and all formal semantics for C that I have seen so far. So I think you are in the minority with your interpretation of the standard. It's a shame that the standard is not precise enough to properly settle this question...

If the standard were amended to explicitly make this code allowed in C, I think C compiler devs would revolt, as all major C compilers have some pretty crucial analysis that are fundamentally relying on this not being legal C code.
I do, but mostly as part of the overall message. Folks like my parents will comment about how creepy targeted ads are. When I showed them how to turn it off currently, they were very happy.

This is a great start.

If (in the US) corporations are people, then clearly corporations should face the prospect of ending their existence if they make an egregious-enough violation: the corporate death penalty.
I think you're conflating very different things. Quotas may be removed if you've got a virtually unlimited amount of a certain resource (and even there they can be useful to prevent overbilling), but disk quotas are necessary because disk space is not unlimited. Without those, a noisy neighbour can break your application.
Was perhaps one of the most surreal assassinations ever:

Exiled brother of a dictator, in an airport surrounded by people and well trained anti-terrorist police forces, killed with a bioweapon, a murderer who thought she was on a Japanese reality TV show, wearing a tshirt saying "LOL" rubbing nerve agent into his eyes and running away with little to no consequence.

She's walking free right now after a small sentence, enjoying life. None of the NK operatives have ever been identified.

That's kind of what I'm thinking about. I want a large "slow" display on the office wall to show me statistics, calendar entries and whatnot for our team. Don't want to attach a bright, shining display to the wall if the information only changes twice a day or so.

We need a massive outpouring of support for Apple’s decision to help strengthen its resolve to protect consumer privacy.

Does anyone actually think that Apple cares at all about the few thousand people that leave their name here? Did the people writing this article think that?

https://www.pygame.org/wiki/resources has a comprehensive collection of resources, but I think only inventwithpython is a book, which is already mentioned in the list
Yes, but that would make it infinitely hard for the algorithm as the output is depending on who is receiving the output. Hence the algorithm should have perfect understanding of environment, receiver and equation between the environment and receiver.
POSIX has multiple Turing complete utilities that can be used in tandem. Its not a very fair competition. Many of the primitives involved are simply not primitives of higher level languages. Write a python script to remove blank lines from standard input. In awk it takes 5 non-whitespace characters (including 'awk'). Use awk to remove blank lines from your python code when you need to paste it into a terminal. Many python developers have a terrible time from the command line because they do not use the shell to help themselves out.

I've been using a first-generation iPad a digital photo frame. I use the LiveFrame [1] app, which still supports very old versions of iOS (9.5).

The iPad had just been sitting in my closet for a few years, since I couldn't update it to the latest version of iOS, and most apps stopped supporting it. I was about to throw it away before I had one last attempt at doing something useful with it. I'm really glad I found the LiveFrame app and was able to get it working.

It also has a web browser that can display almost any webpage (although it would probably struggle with the latest CSS features.) So you could show a dashboard web page to display some information.

I would recommend looking on eBay to see if there are any cheap iPads or Android tablets.

Not a night train, but a reasonably random journey I just looked up.

Christmas Day, Graz (Austria) to Munich. 5hr 57 minutes. 1 change in Salzburg. €26.90 one-way.

The same journey at decent times in the afternoon on Christmas Eve only increases to €36.90 - €46.90.

Seems pretty reasonable to me!

In general, the trick is to book in advance to make use of Sparschiene prices. Or if a frequent traveller, buy a yearly rail card, which offers the equivalent Sparschiene all the time.

That's not what the GP is saying. They're saying that only Facebook and the like have the resources to catch fraud, and smaller players won't. Yes, it's harder, but that hardness is almost an irrelevance to Facebook and other FAANG-alikes, whereas it could be much more of a problem for smaller businesses who will struggle to bear the costs both of fraud, and to develop anti-fraud solutions (or pay for anti-fraud services).

Maybe that opens up some opportunities as well, but that's not necessarily particularly appetising for businesses that aren't focussed around those areas of opportunity.
If your argument for using the shell (as opposed to a real programming language such as Python) is portability, writing a shell script that is not POSIX compliant literally defeats the point.

Also, 100 lines of UX-related bloat hardly classifies as "minimal".

I disagree. You're asking the candidate to guess what kind of answer you're looking for.

Possible answers, all valid, all tell you absolutely nothing

* I'd change nothing, it works "AS A PHONE' just fine. There are better things to to work on

* I'd attach it to the side of a rocket so you could use it as a handle. I'd much rather ride a rocket than use the phone

* I'd double the speakers and mic and offset them at 45 degrees so two people could hug cheeks while talking to the same person

* I'd give it a display, add a computer, and have it pocket size and it would annoy you all day long with notifications and distract you from getting anything done. People would stop using it as a phone and mostly only write text messages to each other which would be way less efficient than voice. Oh wait, you said "improve". Yea, ok, bad suggestion
Yes we do care

Maybe not all of us, but for me it's an important and differentiating feature.

What we don't really care about is hypothetical thinking about wether we care from people that apparently don't care.
"Analogous" generally means similar but not the same; if it's a normative description it's underspecified, whereas the "if and only if" description of the semantics of == and != for pointers is definitely normative. I'm sure the standard could be clearer but I do think there's only one defensible interpretation.
Late with a reply, but want to note that this is not true. Most OSes scale tcp congestion control windows (snd_cwnd) based on the target IP, that is any increase of the window in any tcp connection to the same host increases the window for all open connections. Even if you close all connections, the kernel caches the last known window size for this host and re-uses this on subsequent connections for a given timeframe.
Ja, ze goode olde Final Solution.
I think this is an interesting option. However, people who write newspaper articles, etc.. still need to get paid. I think we all say "I'd like to be able to pay just for the articles I want to read", but just like a la carte TV, I think we'd find out that is much more expensive than we know.

My theory is that, collectively, our privacy and attention is worth far more to other people that to us. Making up numbers, a company may pay $1 to show a targeted ad to you while you are reading an article. But there is no way that you'd ever pay $1 to read that article. And, furthermore, you probably see viewing that ad as a minor annoyance, not $1 worth of value.

I think if most folks had to replace ad money out of their own pocket in order to consume the content they like, they'd never do it.
I agree. It also filters out all those people who didn't put in effort and want to use you as their personal "Google".

I love to help people. I esp. appreciate the ones that up front tell me what they already did and tried. I had a great colleague once - I loved to help her, because I always knew that she came to me, when she was truly stuck and did not know what to do after trying everything that she could think of.

And she was able to succinctly tell what she did so that I was able to narrow down potential causes/solutions quite efficiently.

Contrast that with another former colleague who when getting stuck alawys came to me first thing to ask me, if he could just ask a short question. Even in moments when I was clearly deep in concentration and clearly signaling that state. It was always urgent and he never put in any effort to solve the problem himself first.

I do: bash -> js -> (rarely ever get this far)

The bash step is fast to write as it subsumes all the process calling / management.

JS (or python) is a reasonable next step, often just a tight cli wrapper around a function to be called in bash that is hard to write in bash / is from a library. I find its normally easier to pack JS dependencies for these one offs than python, but both work.

Next step is perf/testing focused. Js works as a great first step here as the Promises & event loop let you get a whole bunch of perf naturally that is a pita to arrange in python.

Now you have a program laid out and usage tested that can be re-written in something else for real or percieved benefits (go, bash, c++, rust)
