I imagine it wouldn't have been that hard, if the authors had just used ICU4C for string handling. I've had good luck with just converting all input to normal form C. The bigger challenge there is that, if you're using ICU strings, then you've lost the ability to use any library that is designed to work with C strings. There's no way to avoid 0x00 showing up in the middle of UTF-16 and UTF-32 strings, and, even if you use modified UTF-8 to avoid NUL bytes, you still break the assumption that a string's length is equal to its size is bytes.
Ha that’s a pretty funny anecdote, thanks for sharing
There is far less space in geostationary orbit, because the locus of GEO is a one-dimensional ring above the equator.
Debug and error messages in particular should NOT be translated unless an error code is displayed with them. Whenever I use anything that spits me a French error message, it becomes impossible to find out what it means using Google.

Windows error messages and the command line on Linux are particularly big offenders here.

It apparently doesn’t, look at the inflation of japan and how much they’ve printed money and you will see that there are many more factors than impact inflation.

It's even worse asking candidates propabilities, linear algebra and presenting them with real problems (NOT cs) and ask for applied algorithms, most failing miserably and then seeing on glassdoor that they found the interview easy non technical but got no offer. Most even miss that the discussion was about algorithms (I am not telling them explicitly).
Incorrect, Ethereum is still using PoW.
I think the (now deeply ingrained) confusion stems from a misconception surrounding the Citizens United vs. FEC ruling, where the majority opinion in part cited campaign finance restrictions as a violation of First Amendment rights.

Since the Bill of Rights are protections of citizens rights, it has widely been misreported that this meant the SCOTUS ruling de jure recognized corporations to be citizens themselves.

This, of course, is not correct. The majority opinion in part says that "if the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech." The key phrase here being "associations of citizens", which the majority interpreted broadly to include corporations. This does not at all bestow personhood or citizenship upon corporations, legal or otherwise. It does afford corporations some protections as they are now legally recognized as "associations of citizens".
If I'm reading the source used by that link correctly though, the 1 million number comes from taking total number vaccinated as the denominator. My understanding was if you are a young woman, the estimate is closer to 1 in 100K. If you aren't it's probably even less likely than 1 in a million.
Sorry my "you" was rhetorical, my purpose was not to single you out.

But they aren’t building 1 satellite and launching it 5 times over the next decade. They’re maintaining a constant fleet of 42000 satellites, which means putting up new junk to replace the old junk while its still flying junk and not de-orbited junk.

I like the idea of having internet on my sailboat as much as the next guy, but it takes some serious cognitive dissonance to convince oneself that 42,000 pieces of nearby junk is better than a handful of pieces of far away junk.
Across most of the world there are at least brief moments when the price of electricity goes negative. It happens because some energy sources cannot quickly be shut down (eg. Nuclear), so it makes financial sense to pay to get rid of electricity for brief periods.

These negative prices don't coincide worldwide, indicating that there is not sufficient electrical transmission capacity.
I learned the other day that this is not necessarily true, as long as the money printed creates value. Japan is an example: they have printed tons of money and haven’t had inflation.
Sure, and I can try paying for gas with gold but at some point I’m forced to do what the herd is doing, and the herd doesn’t care about arguments of “sound money”, they’ll just follow whatever monetary policy the ruling class decides is best.

The herd coming into Bitcoin as we speak implies a weakening of its founding values.
I mean, it could still be a great question, even if you can't or don't want to answer it. It all depends on how you follow up. If you go, "Thanks, that's a great question. I don't actually have a good answer for you. I'll get back to you in a few days." And then actually get back to them with whatever you've found out, you'll build trust, even if you tell them it is a great question.

It's not about what you say, it's about what you do.
Even in the US, disseminating defamatory material is itself defamation. Clicking the "share" button definitely counts as dissemination IMO.

> Miners do not really care about anything other than profit. As long as the profit out of their operations is greater than the cost of electricity going in, the machines will be running.

Exactly my point. That's why they choose the global lowest cost of energy provider. And if you allow the price system to work, this would be the least valuable undesirable energy. Anything else would be uneconomical.
I'm curious too. At a guess, probably similar to attacks on Tor. In this analogy, those exchanges are like tor exit nodes.

I'm under the assumption (and hoping) this is just another gag project that was made in light of DeFi crypto projects getting funded without anything backing them.

They always seem to popup whenever crypto becomes sexy again. This one is just a little bit more deadpan than others.
Just downloaded the app. The reason for the "keep awake/do stuff in the background" permission is because the app has a "perform regular tests on a schedule" feature. In fact this app has a good few features that seem mildly unnnecessary just for collecting broadband speed data for the government. Seems they wanted to provide something that was useful to the user as well
If it wasn't for GPL, GNU and Linux would never mattered, UNIX clones, Windows would keep taking whatever they wanted from BSD and that would be it.

Another native speaker here. I disagree with most of you.

When I was a kid I played a Captain Tsubasa NES game that was completely in japanese. I have no idea of the meaning of the Kanji characters I choose but I know pretty well what I was doing in short time. I could play the game through trial and error. So no, you don't need to know actual english to code.

Now, you and me were invested. We want to code and we were willing to learn how to code even without knowing what was the meaning of the english words we use. Just like the way I played that game. A lot of people is learning how to code like they learn basic math. They are not invested. They know is useful however didn't want to learn it. This tool is good for them.

I still don't like the name and also don't like they don't allow tildes and ñ. I also think scratch.mit.edu is a better tool for people starting to learn how to code.
I think it would better to say that 1/2 of America was looking for someone who was anti establishment. You could have put Mr. Potato Head up against Clinton in 2016 running the same platform and would have gotten a similar outcome. It seems 1/2 the country feels that it was about a specific person as opposed to a outrage against the corruption and degradation of America. Trump was merely the wearer of that mantle, he was not the creator of that movement, he simply did a good job of molding it.

Egypt failed to keep the canal dredged. Desert sands are blown into the canal and it's the canal authority's duty to remove the sand and keep the canal bottom clear. The Ever Given was blown out of shape in a desert dust storm and hung up on mounds of sand. If kept properly dredged, after the storm was over the ship should have been able to move back into the center of the channel on its own but failed due to accumulated sand along the sides. The fees that would have paid for sufficient canal dredging went elsewhere.

I agree, but to an extent. I don’t have a gamer-targeted laptop because heavy to carry around.

But still, I believe these unupgradable ultra-thin laptops are a bad deal.

They only saving a few millimeters of thickness and ~0.2kg of weight, for a huge performance cost. BTW, I have installed 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD in my reasonably thin (2cm) and reasonably light (1.6kg) 13” laptop.

Even 1st degree murderers, serial rapists, and producers of kid porn get smaller sentences . I think only serial killers get a worse sentence. It goes to show how when it comes to money, prosecutors , judges, and juries do not mess around . Lost money ruins and harms lives as badly as actual violence. Some of the longest sentences are handed out to people who do non violent crimes of a financial nature, often because of how the charges are stacked (wire fraud, laundering, mail fraud, etc.) and then there are multiple counts. SO it is easy to get a very long sentence.

Republishing libellous content can indeed be defamation. I don't know the details for his case and IANA but retweeting/sharing can land you in hot waters not only in Singapore but also in the UK for instance:

"In 2013, a defendant named Alan Davies was ordered to pay £15,000 in settlement after retweeting a Sally Bercow tweet that suggested Lord McAlpine, a former leading Conservative politician, had committed child abuse." [1]

"Defamation is apparent when one person publishes a statement or material about another person that is untrue and is damaging to the claimant’s reputation or likely to cause such harm – this is the case even if the defendant has simply republished a statement made by another." [1]

Also, take out SpaceX from the name and add all the competitors (potentially lower quality) that are starting or about to get into the space and you can understand the concern.

The snippet just before your quote was:

> then the more effective position is to

(emphasis added)

I agree with you that people have the right to be upset, to moralize, etc. My insinuation was that it isn't effective as public policy, which is the extra step that moralizing conservatives seem eager to take.

I'm fine if they want to sit in the corner and whine, but if they're going to use this whining to enact policies that don't work, and that haven't worked despite decades of trying, then I'm going to push back, and yes, I'm going to be a little insulting, especially seeing as they have no problem berating the people that they don't approve of.

People who insist on maintaining a delusion despite evidence that it doesn't work, and despite examples of other policies in other places that produce better results annoy me. Why should I have to pay for the externalities of their stupid opinions when I'm not the one the one having them? (See, it sounds just as ridiculous from the other side)

It sounds like you're asking primarily about participating in meetings more than giving formal presentations. Here are some of my ideas.

* Set a good example for kindness. Show respect to everyone, praise others by name when you think they've made a good point, give other speakers your attention and smile at them with your eyes.

* Be humble and be willing to admit what you don't know.

* If you feel that you're not being given respect, there is a tendency to finally blurt out words of anger towards someone. Don't do that -- it will set you back quite a bit.

* Wait until you have a good insight before piping up. That way it will be easier to defend yourself and your idea if it gets challenged. On any team there is usually at least one person who has the reputation that "she doesn't speak very often, but when she does, it's worth paying attention." Not a bad person to be.

* As you get more experience it gets easier to think on the fly. Just look at Aaron Rogers! His banter is much improved over the course of just one week. (And probably much less than a week in real time.)

How does the cloud of debris stick around? For context, I've played Kerbal so I know a bit about orbits but not much.

My intuition is that the velocities involved in being in orbit in the first place are so big (7 kilometers per second according to a quick search) that the orbit of the debris won't be substantially different, so it will still decay. Even if you give enormous kicks to the debris, most of it will end up with orbits intersecting the earth. The ones that don't will still intersect the original collision location, and so still experience decay during that part of their orbit.

Basically, to change your orbit you need to boost once to push the other side of the orbit out and then again at the other side to push the original side out. A collision can only give one of the boosts, and so is sort of inherently bad at moving the orbit.
> I reject the thinking that "people are going to do what they want" and we are helpless to influence their behavior so we should just accept whatever they are doing no questions asked and work around it with public policy if it causes a problem. The reason I reject it is because I would argue what people want to do does not spontaneously arise in their minds, but rather is influenced by popular culture, marketing, and more.

The actual amount/distribution of stuff can be misleading. What really matters is the risk of collision, which is the highest for Sun-synchronous orbits. The fact that lower SSOs are also the most convenient for remote sensing work doesn't help.

GEO is more or less safe because it's unstable (dead stuff drifts outwards), well kept (slots are limited by the resolution of customers' terminals) and typically doesn't have high relative velocities.
Is there a use case for unspent dollars?
That is why I chose very commodity hardware and run openSUSE Leap 15.2 on it. I wanted a solid distro with a reasonable update policy, not something that pushes 100+ new updates every week. Debian Stable or perhaps Testing would also have been good choices, but I like YaST.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have had one issue with my build. The motherboard has four SATA connectors; Two from the Intel chipset, which work flawlessly, and two from an additional ASM1061 chipset, which don't. They seem to work initially, but when you start pushing larger amounts of data through them, errors start to pop up.

As far as I can tell, it's a either a driver issue or a BIOS issue, I can't remember whether I got those same errors on an ASM1061-based 2-port SATA PCIe expansion card or not. Either way, I replaced it with Marvell-based 4-port card instead, and just avoid using the ASM1061 ports for now.

Next time I add a disk to the system, I'll connect it to the potentially troublesome ports and run some tests, to see whether it was a driver issue that has been cleared up.

So yeah, not perfect, but good enough for me :-)

At least in the mind of an experienced code "for loops" have their own semantic existence, once you've understood them and given them a label then you don't need (in fact shouldn't) rely on intuition from your knowledge of English, or whatever natural language. Only one person I work with uses their computer in Spanish, whereas that's what everyone speaks all day, informally at least. I think of these words (programming keywords, names of Unix commands, etc.) as just symbols, doesn't everyone else?

> You can also have default responses to buy time: "Thank you, that's a great question" gives them a nice compliment and buys you 5 seconds to think.

It's also important to realize that you don't need to buy time as much as you think you do. When in the spotlight, people tend to think they need to react quickly under penalty of seeming insecure. It's false. You can take a few seconds to prepare an answer and it still seems natural, even projecting an aura of confidence.

If you need more time than normal to prepare an answer, lay out your reasoning as you prepare it. Have some verbal crutches ready. These work well to buy you a dozen seconds:

- "Let me find an example that demonstrates this"

- "How do I explain this without being too technical?"

- "It's a complex issue, let me try to break it down"
