> a lot of the once-public open source and tools for N810 had simply been removed from the Internet

Nokia insisted in hosting everything themselves, and obsessed with maintaining control of the platform while trying to "do opensource right" on some philosophical level. IIRC it resulted in a constant struggle with the community on really stupid issues, which dragged down the overall development speed. And then they pivoted to the Intel partnership just like that, from one day to the next, which meant jettisoning a massive amount of effort from the community (deb to rpm, effectively abandoning Qt, etc).

It was really a strange relationship. They kept writing rivers of (digital) ink on their love for OSS and blablabla, but then took all major decisions behind closed doors.

They just aren’t Mac-like, and for a very long time, that has been the sad state of affairs. If you’re a software engineer with Mac design sensibilities, you’re probably going to have to compromise.

I like well designed Mac-apps, but not more so than an app that's more productive for whatever reason that I spend hours every day in. I'm glad that there's a Mac version of these portable IDEs and editors. I use a lot of languages and edit many file types, the availability of good plugins probably matters most after getting the basic keyboard/mouse stuff done well enough. I'm a software engineer >> Mac design sensibilities.

Well the majority of the population in the USA is white. No getting around that, even if a theoretical perfect distribution of diversity is achieved.

I, the industry plan cited in the article, and the actual state industry-specific guidelines for amusement parks would all address this by requiring riders to wear masks.

The article’s concern is pure fantasy being advanced as a form of anti-state-administration political propaganda, to fuel the current recall effort.

Groupon was never a $1T network. Neither was Myspace or any of the failed tech companies. BTC has won and it will only keep growing from here.
You are right. The world was closed for business in 2020 and emissions were down only 7 %. We need to lower emissions by more than 7 % every year but you can only close everything once. Quite baffling that even on HN of all places, where people propose technical solutions for everything, behavioral change is seen as the only way to combat climate change.

No. Climate change is an engineering problem and technology is the solution.

It is a tautology in a sense, but the point is that the case isn't "asian people are treated like white people in tech". The case is "white and asian people are treated like X in tech".

If you're willing to keep an open mind, try poaching someone from a non-tech company that wants to jump ship. There are an increasing number of such people.

They likely are getting underpaid compared to their peers at a tech company.

The downside is, a "senior software engineer" at a non-tech company might not be quite the same level as a "senior software engineer" at a tech company. I say this as one of the former myself.
If you don't care about evidence then this rule is therefore more about the optics - just the appearance of doing something. And because you don't care about evidence you can't then make claims about "making sure" because then you stray into the land of probabilities and possible guarantees. Which you can't do because that requires evidence to be even remotely useful.

If the rule has any validity then you ALSO can't tolerate people talking before the ride. Can't stop one activity and allow the other. Talking is a known infection vector since it can easily fill a space like a room with a significant viral load. This is how people get infected simply by entering a room full of infected air that has suspended viral particles in it.

But can you fill an area with a significant viral load when that area happens to be an open-air roller-coaster moving at high speed?

So evidence does matter. Either way.

Article doesn't mention license plate readers, which are quite common nowadays.

Also, in addition to plates, wouldn't it be possible to monitor cellphone metadata in real time? Every phone is constantly checking into a base station, whether it is currently in use or not.

After a while it would be easy to build up a very useful database that not only kept track of cars but also kept track of the cellphones associated with those cars.

I can't see how to prevent any of this from happening.

For all I know, Homeland Security already does all this. About the only thing keeping them from doing it is that some external contractor would probably charge them $billions to design and integrate this, and maybe they just haven't spent the money yet.
Are men any more attracted to a woman if she's tanned or not? Have they ever been? The status involved changes, and women find status attractive, but men don't care as much when it comes to what to fuck.

And have men ever not appreciated a nice, big ass?

For that matter, there's variance in what people like today; presumably there was before. And yet there are invariants- clear skin, symmetrical face/body plan.

Some of the differences in what's attractive (which breast/ass size is most attractive) also have to do with the life history strategy of the man in question. Pump and dump-oriented guys are more likely to find larger breasts most exciting (you have 10 seconds to pick the most genetically fit woman out of this lineup and 10 minutes to inseminate her; then you'll never see her again. What strategy works? Select for oversized secondary sex characteristics, female equivalent to peacock tails- costly signal of excess resources), whereas slower life-history strategy men will find smaller breasts more attractive and care about women's intelligence more (slow strategy- order, planning, division of labour, stability).

but my problem was not with finding client hardware. my problem is with running the things the thing clients attach to.

linux just doesn't really have it's stuff together to make use of video cards well. there's some very very expensive, rather aged video cards that can do multi-desktop. i think august 2014's amd s9150 might be more of the more competent offerings, if i remember. as i said: aged. and using bad old proprietary software. linux just does not have it's stuff together to make good multi-user use hardware resources, for powering thing client type systems.

Fantastic series and probably my favorite writer, but because it mostly sticks within known physics nearly all of it takes palce within about 20 light years of earth with the exception of Galactic North and maybe a few other side stories. Earth doesn't get much of a mention, but the main character is from Mars.
I second that. I was able to re-write my CV which was in Word to LaTeX in about 3 hours with help of online resources (no prior LaTeX experience). The output is high-quality, consistent and looks professional.

I didn't get into a lot of advanced stuff - just defined a few "newcolumntype"/"newcommand" and used them everywhere but that freed me from formatting worries and let me focus on the content.
> Even if it's used for corrupt purposes, it's not really any worse than the current system. The subversiveness of cryptocurrency is a feature. Governments are as corrupt as can be.

Disagree. In the current system it takes an enormous effort for the majority to suppress individually profitable but socially harmful activities (like bribery), but it can be done; many developed countries achieve quite low levels of corruption. Bitcoin makes that a lot harder, by design.

Some languages that have CONS cells: Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp, Scheme, Dylan, Maclisp, Interlisp, AutoLisp, Lisp Machine Lisp, EuLisp, ISLisp, *Lisp, LeLisp, Lisp 1.5.

Some languages that don't have CONS cells: Clojure, Janet, Julia, R.

Of course, that is only one attribute, and may not be the most important one, but it's an interesting separating line.

If you describe each language by a set of language feature attributes, you can perform some easy computations (e.g., Jaccard distance, or some clustering) to get more clue about how related these languages really are. I think Janet wouldn't fare so bad in relation to obvious Lisps, so I'm not strongly opposed to calling it a Lisp.
> I'd love to see the studies backing this up.

Backing what up? The only mention of screaming in any of the documents referenced even implicitly in the article is in a non-industry-specific list of concerns to which the industry plan offers responses (which for screaming, etc., is “mitigate the risk with masks”.)

The actual state industry-specific guidance for reopening amusement parks doesn't mention screaming (but implicitly takes the same approach as the industry group plan, controlling any potential risk with a mask requirement.)

> And finally: Raised voices? Does this mean arguing in public is now an offence?

No, the non-industry-specific notes about that mean that an industry/activity where that regular occurs in groups that cannot effectively distance sufficiently or mitigate droplet spread by other means (e.g., masks) would be more of a concern for reopening conditions than if that were not the case, all other things being equal.
The part "let's make sure that we are trying to execute the right command in its correct location" which then follows up by running pwd is strange. Your current working directory has nothing to do with where expdp is found unless you either prefix it with ./ -- which you didn't -- or put . in $PATH (which is generally not a great idea).

Maemo Fremantle may be stuck on 2.6, but N900 is not - it's pretty well supported in mainline kernel. Also, the cellular modem (Rapuyama - BB5) on N900 isn't connected to main memory, it's pretty much a separate component (which was used as a main CPU on some other Nokia phones).
But you can enforce it in many ways; for example you can set `\emergencystretch=\maxdimen` (or any reasonably large value) and you'll never have overfull boxes (what you called margin overruns), unless of course you have a single unbreakable "word" longer than a line by itself. (On the TeX.SE website here are a couple of answers of mine about related stuff and alternative approaches: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/422652 https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/401315 though the canonical question with good answers is probably this: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/50830 .)

So this complaint of "I can't enforce that there are no margin overruns" is (to use the same word) actually something like "If I don't take any steps to avoid overruns, and moreover ignore the warnings that are specifically about overruns, then there are overruns". This complaint is not specific to you and is surprisingly common actually, which brings me to my main point, which is that the majority of people seem to use TeX/LaTeX without ever having read the manual. Some of them even joke about "incomprehensible" messages like "overfull hbox". But the whole point of TeX, what TeX is at its core, is this breaking-paragraphs-into-lines (in my view, the rest of TeX is just a large wrapper around this basic function of setting boxes).

The preface of the TeXbook describes it as "TeX, a new typesetting system intended for the creation of beautiful books", and for its initial design goals, it does make sense that it chooses by default to declare defeat in impossible situations and overflow margins with a warning to the user so that they can take appropriate action, instead of silently producing an "ugly" paragraph with lines subtly looser than whatever tolerance settings the user has specified. What is remarkable here is that a lot of people are using TeX who do not care about meticulous typesetting of "beautiful books" at all, and will blithely ignore warnings related to such matters.

The lesson may be that such a state of affairs is inevitable, so perhaps a better default for similar software today would be to produce loose lines to fit in the margin, so that results are good even for the users who don't read the manual, or even the warnings, or even proofread the final result.

I had the older 770, and loved it with all its limitations.

Traveling abroad was the first time I witnessed absolute poverty in person.

It also let me see for myself some of the obvious shortcomings of countries usually held up as our betters. It was a shock. But, it also let me experience some of the things that really were better. It was both a reminder that home is doing some things right after all- but could do other things better.

TeX finds out about character widths and kerning pairs and ligature replacements from outside of TeX itself. TeX is perfectly happy to ligature together "--" into an en-dash, and "---" into an em-dash, and to then kern either one of them with whatever characters you like, if instructed to do so by these externally-supplied per-font instructions. So, it seems like you're being troubled by the externally-provided font info rather than any limitation of TeX per se.

Boring details: TeX, as it comes from Knuth, reads TFM ("TeX Font Metric") files to supply this per-font information. Knuth's Computer Modern fonts do not contain any kerning pairs that contain dash characters, which one may be pleased or displeased about. Various enhanced-TeXs get font info from the OS or perhaps directly from, say, OpenType font files. If the ligature and kern info isn't passed into TeX from there properly, or doesn't exist in the font itself, then of course you won't get the results you're looking for.
Yes you are correct! My 12 channel mixer (Behringer X12) allows you to plug in a USB disk and record the output. But somebody turned off the mixer while it was recording, which meant that lots of bits of data were written, but the WAV file header was never updated with the size of the file.

So I did another recording to determine the frequency & bit depth, and then opened the dd disk image with those settings. It was pretty obvious from the waveform image which parts of the drive had the recording, and it was perfect.

Interestingly, I got those settings completely wrong at the start, and I could still tell it was music by listening to it, it was just very corrupted sounding!

Yeah. To me it looks like macOS goes so deep into sleep it disconnects the external display. On wake, the system rediscovers the external and resizes the desktop across both displays. With a bunch of apps/windows open, half your apps simultaneously resizing all their windows can peg all CPU cores for a number of seconds.

(It's still way faster than the same set of apps on an Intel Mac laptop, where it could sometimes take on the order of 30 seconds to get to a usable desktop after a long sleep. On Intel Macs it seemed more obvious that the GPU was the bottleneck)
