That's a cool story. Props to Brownie, but I hope he's fast enough to avoid being bitten by the few poisonous ones in the US.

In Africa, most of the storks ate snakes; including really deadly ones. They would stomp them to death. That would probably not work on pit vipers.
The title is a bit misleading then.

Why? For me, I'd just assume what ever the local currency was is implied. Maybe that's just me being in the US, so there's only $. However, when I've been to other non-european countries, this was also a safe assumption. However, even in Europe, would it not be safe to assume euros, unless in the UK, then assume pounds? Am I just being too simple?
No, the burden of proof is on the author. And considering this is a model, not a study, I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
Windows 3.1 had some 32bit support - via Win32s. I think that these apps should still work.

I personally do peer review because I am part of a research community that requires it -- 9 of every 10 articles I review are absolute crap, and the community is better off if only 3-5 reviewers waste time reading those articles. The only way to avoid a free rider problem is if everyone agrees to participate, so I participate. It is also a good way to build a career in research -- reliable peer reviewers will eventually be asked to do more visible things like chair conference sessions.

Would it be nice to be paid? Maybe, although to be honest I would rather keep money out of the process entirely -- I would like to continue having peer review be voluntary, and go further by also scrapping the publishing companies (who add nothing of value to any article I have written or seen in my entire career). In my field (cryptography) we run a preprint archive on a volunteer basis and it would not be a huge step to introduce a formal peer review process (there is already a minimal review process where the eprint vounteers reject papers that are obviously crap). We only bother with Springer because the European professors demand it (more precisely, their universities demand one of a handful of publishers, and Springer is least bad of the bunch).

Actually, nobody should ever be made to feel bad for reporting a bug. Thank them, explain why you're closing it, offer an alternative, and close it!
If you are fabricating that inside the FPGA then there is no mythical creature to stop you doing it but the power usage and achievable clock speeds might not be very impressive.
Actually, it is true - which is why endian is a problem in the first place. ASM code is different when written for little endian vs big endian. Access patterns are positively offset instead of negatively.

A language that does the same things regardless of endianness would not have pointer arithmetic. That is not ASM and not C.
If you don't have regulations then you can have a company putting false labels like "Approved by the National Agency for Food/Software/Equipment safety", then each user needs to individually try to research if this agency actual exists, if the label is correct etc.

Remember the class action lawsuit that forced Apple and other companies to admit that the products have a defect and provide compensation. Without a law and regulation those people would not have got their fair justice.

Also I do not see how free markets could prevent some company selling you bad products, and when the PR is bad enough just re-branding and start over. Or how free markets can help with imported products that could be unsafe, you need basic regulation that impose transparency (who made the product, what it contains and other related information).
Yeah, because unlike everything else ever invented in history, if AT&T and Bell hadn't done it, no one else ever would have, and there's also zero chance another wouldn't have done it any better.

> If she only cost her employer a third of a salary, that quite a big bargain chip.

Maybe this would be the case if engineers were replaceable cogs in the machine. If every cog is the same, then the cheapest cogs make you the most money, right?

Except that engineering doesn't work like this. Engineers aren't directly replaceable, and replacement costs still need to be paid for anybody who would replace them. If you do not value the engineers that you have, then quite simply, you do not value them.
That’s hasn’t been my experience at all.

Worked at Microsoft and now I’m at one of the big AAA game companies (working on their online services side, not games directly) and both were/are very stressful. High expectations of commitment and personal investment in what I do.
The explaination by derefr is correct.

But there is a larger assumption that underlies your post that I think is important to correct.

You seem to be caught up in the idea that the code you write, and the code the compiler generates must have some kind of one-to-one corrospondance, but this isn't the case at all.

The code the compiler generates must have the same final result, but it doesn't have to actually work the same way.

So if you pass a structure by value, and the compiler can avoid a copy somehow because it's more efficient, then of course it should do so.

Making an ABI that is ammenible to allowing the compiler to make better optimisations is of course also a good idea. And the proposed ABI here achieves that.
I haven't read that tanks for sharing! We'll see if fairs pick back up, seems like for anyone but the biggest they are lucky to break even.

Distribution costs are negligible when you just make the PDFs free to everyone, but publishers spend a bunch of money on access control, security, and web interfaces that make you jump through hoops to download the actual PDF while doing everything possible to convince you to read the papers through their (possibly "social"/"collaborative") online platform instead.
To be honest, I'm more interested in donating to an organization that targets people who need electronics, but don't have them or are underserved by the electronics they do have. Listing stuff on Craigslist or Ebay is going to filter for people or businesses who have the means to check the sites regularly, and the funds ready to purchase things on them.
In the US, it's probably most likely to be regional food. Like I've had good Southwestern food in smaller places in New Mexico. On the other hand, not really middle of nowhere small. In my experience, the pickings are pretty slim in most small towns.

>>Nobody promised that OSX could run any software the user wishes.

So I can sue them for not running Apple II programs? Cool! There were always programs that failed to run for some reason or another, and programs taken out of the Mac store, etc.

>Apple doesn’t force you to install operating system upgrades, and many people don’t upgrade if it will break the software they work with.

Sure, just apply a new rejection policy after an upgrade, and state it applies from that version on. That's what Apple would normally do anyway. So you're just admitting I'm right.

That's a good point about paper menus wrapping around to the high end. Another thing to note would be the difference between the paper menus. At the low end, you have thin and flimsy paper being used, possibly tri-folded as they are also take-out menus, with low quality printing and little attention paid to graphic design or fonts. Food descriptions are likely to be nothing more than a common name for the dish (e.g. fish and chips, pad thai noodles). At the other end, there's no way to tell what paper is used for the French Laundry menu, but maybe it's bone or eggshell in a tasteful thickness. The font, design, and especially the wording (utilizing many of the techniques listed in the article) all indicate that a lot of thought has been put into the menu and thus is a high end restaurant.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the Colonial gas pipeline leak? It's been a problem for over 8 months now. Was in the news recently again. Over a million gallons spilled, but they don't really know how much.

There's a LOT of stuff in 'golden age' sci fi which hasn't aged well at all.

I love the /idea/ of Foundation - both the 'science of history' idea, and the idea of making every chapter a different set of characters, tracing the arc of history. But found it to be pretty terrible as an actual book when I went back to re-read it a year or two back. It's 1/3 good idea, 1/3 engineer's disease on galactic scale, and 1/3 creepy male lens. (like, seriously, if an author treats women as nothing more than background furnishings, useful for occasional groping, I start doubting their ability to say interesting+useful things about human society real quick. And 60's sci fi has a TON of this perspective.)

Le Guin is literally exceptional. A fantastic author, who I've loved since I was a kid and can always go back to.

The underlying problem with these anecdotes is that All of these experiences depend on who is working that day.

Ecommerce is imperfect in many ways, but it is far more consistent in its imperfection than local retail.

W.C. Winks Hardware Inc. in Portland, Oregon has been around since 1909 and is amazing.

You can go in there with some odd piece of hardware and someone will personally wait on you, assess your request and find the exact item or closest likeness.

The staff is patient and friendly, in my experience it is ideal local retail. But Winks doesn’t do ecommerce at all, so I often must relegate it to unusual hard to figure HW needs, because not every project needs this level of service.

I’m in agreement that retail has some pretty serious work to do to stay in the running. It might not be fair or “right” but it has to happen nonetheless.
That is shockingly rude and snarky of you to say.
Which would in turn probably hurt (?crash) the stock. It's a game of chicken. GME again! From an outside who only reads the free bloomberg it feels like there's a lot of this going on right now just boosting everything especially with basically free money; the recent Archegos blow up as an example of the down side
“Nature” is us, too. It’s constantly changing, but there’s as much of it as there ever was, because our nature is to build. Indeed, so are the ants whose ant hills that you criticise cities for resembling.

The improvements to duration of lifespan have also come with improvements to quality of life.

My father’s final year of life started with a cancer diagnosis, and while it was an extremely long way from “fun”, tech gave him mobility, and he’d only lived that long because of half a lifetime of treatment for disease-induced epilepsy.

My mother had a few years of Alzheimer’s — still essentially untreatable, and yet tech made it easy to keep her entertained, and GPS tracking made it easier for us to look after her without her getting lost due to a moment of intention on our parts.

Our good years involve less and easier work, in better conditions, than 1972, much better than 1921, and insanely better than 1871. When did we start mandatory schooling? When did we end actual slavery? Conscription? When was polio vaccination introduced, when was smallpox eliminated, when was anaesthetic easily available for childbirth? So yes, life is much better than it used to be.

Of course, I actually like living in Berlin, metro area population 61% of what you think the entire plant should have.
I've become a lot more sympathetic to this attitude lately.

I kind of enjoy working with Rust, and have written a few minor utilities to interact with AWS in it for work. I found and fixed a few bugs in the library for it, Rusoto. I observed along the way that the project is sorely in need of people to spend time on management and maintenance. I could do that, but...

I can't ignore that AWS makes some absurdly huge amount of money for Amazon. I don't begrudge them that, but I get paid pretty well at my day job already. Why do more of that work for the benefit of AWS for no money? They ought to pay me for it.

Hell, they have more than enough money to hire a team of professional experts in every language under the sun to maintain their AWS libs. Especially considering that the net effect of higher-quality AWS libs in more languages will result in more money being spent on AWS services and more lock-in. There's no excuse for having such terrible code in a mainstream language like Javascript.

Because 30% is big money. FB might be able to compensate enough, but plenty of apps can't. There should have been enough pull to have a SpotifyStore and an UberStore, or even a SpotifyUberStore. Yet it doesn't happen at all.
It's not just aesthetic value. Yes, there is aesthetic value but also there is the value of "People can afford to live and work here." A community that contains some shop owners, some office workers, some landscapers, etc. is a better community in my eyes.

The only reason they do that is because they are trying to break into Steam's near monopoly market position. They are not above anti-consumer practices like exclusives. I have no doubt that if they could, they would take that 30% cut.
Prix fixe?
That actually seems useful. Not dividing by gender, but instead the idea of giving a different menu to the person who's paying and the one(s) who are being treated. It's tough placing an order when you're being taken out to dinner and can see the prices because you're going to avoid something you might really want if it's more expensive than the average of the menu.

That's true. Putting tax funded research studies behind corporate paywalls also is in many contexts and jurisdictions. But it's funny how that one doesn't ever get prosecuted.

Shifts and ors really is the sanest and simplest way to express "assembling an integer from bytes". Masking is _a_ way to deal with the current C spec which has silly promotion rules. Unsigned everything is more fundamental than signed.

For emphasis, I'm not claiming the emergence in Wuhan (or the presence of an FCS, or the higher affinity for human ACE2 than for any other known animal, or the CCP's apparent coverup of something, or any other single factor) is determinative in itself. But there are multiple factors and no clear mechanism for dependence between them. Those should all be considered together, in a Bayesian analysis or whatever other statistical framework you prefer.

As to specific numbers, 10% seems too low to me--Wuhan is 6% of the population of Chinese cities at least as big as Wuhan, disregarding smaller cities entirely, including Foshan where the original SARS emerged, and disregarding Dr. Shi's expectation that origin closer to Yunnan was more likely. But at least we're within an order of magnitude of each other.

Knowing nothing whatsoever except that a pandemic emerged, what's your prior for lab vs. natural origin? It depends how you count, but we've had perhaps a dozen pandemics in the last fifty years, and one (the 1977 flu) was near-certainly lab-origin. So even with extreme optimism as to lab safety improvements, I can't see how you'd estimate less than e.g. 1%. For SARS-CoV-2, you'd perhaps adjust down for the novelty of the pathogen (since most lab work is with known pathogens--though most of the WIV's seems not to have been). It doesn't take that many p = 10% coincidences up to get to even odds or better, though.
This is using openjdk 14, I expect even better GC performance in openjdk 16 (stable).
Also graalVM CE and EE can push performance even beyond and maybe improve the 99%
A problem would be that performance becomes brittle. So you change the strict in your function and suddenly the program is slower.
Allowing for SSR is a good step, but does this also render the other controls in their native style? The window border is one important place for styling, and I'm glad GTK4 will improve the situation once it hits the mainstream distros, but as far as I can tell, the rest of the controls (buttons, textboxes, etc.) are still rendered by the application rather than by the system.

I've given GTK4 a try on Windows, and all enabling the top level decorations seem to do is to disable the window border. All controls are still Adwaita, so you'd still need to fake a Windows UI style if you want to make the application feel any kind of native.
Thanks, glad to hear you like it :)

I found the sudden transition to a pessimistic, depressing tone in Earthsea #4 hard to swallow as well. The criticism of the wizards' arrogance in #4 was indeed overdue but the whiplash was too intense for me.

I strongly recommend #5 (Tales from Earthsea) though, it integrates the new ideas of #4 but more in tune with the original atmosphere of the world. And the plot doesn't depend on having read any of the previous books.
I see. So in this case only the stimulus would expire.
Meanwhile BigPharma uses science developed using funds collected from citizens, and charges insane prices for some drugs to those same citizens. The system is really crazy.
You also have to realise that only partial family history can ever be truly handed down, particularly when there are no official records. Look back 6 generations in your family and there are 64 direct ancestors (if you're lucky and there was no inbreeding). There's no way all of those names and personalities get preserved. I went looking for family history in parish records and thought that I found a goldmine. Turns out there are about 5 people with the same name in the relatively sparsely populated town that my great great great grandfather was born in. Maybe some were cousins. Maybe one of them was a first-born son who died in childhood, so the traditional first-born name was recycled. It sounds cold hearted, but that shit happened.
The reason to accumulate wealth is for security. The fisherman's current income could disappear any day. He could be injured, the area could be overfished, a glut of foreign fish could reduce prices, etc.

The scope of observations goes a little further than rotational curves. The Bullet Cluster, for instance, clearly shows mass where there is no visible matter. Plus, there are lots of smaller galaxies that behave just as our normal theories prescribe, which dark matter (or the lack thereof) can explain and other theories have trouble with.
I guess that depends on your definition of "modern history". Yes, Apple has a lot of cash, but is their current top corp based on value mean they are bigger in influence/effect on people's lives than others in history. I'm thinking AT&T pre-breakup, Standard Oil, rail roads, etc. I understand what the point the GP was making. It just sent me down a tangential bit of thinking. Ugh, and on a Saturday!
Guy jeans are real easy because those numbers are actual measurements. Woman's jeans just change that to a single number that changes through the years. Uhg, so annoying.
With a bus load of activists you could probably shut down a coal mine or coal power plant. Just repeat the interruptions until the location is closed.

Environmentalists used to chain themselves to trees. Would the same physical actions work for climate change?

Its difficult to see the public being opposed to this when coal infrastructure is on the edge of irrelevancy anyway and easily replaced.
As L_Rahman said, typically you register your allergies with your reservation.

That said, it's entirely possible they're unable/unwilling to accommodate every allergy and/or preference. There are well regarded restaurants near me that only do prix fixe tasting menus that I don't dine at as I know based on what they tend to serve that the likelihood of me being served things I won't want is high, and at that price point it's not worth it to me.

Historically scientific articles were distributed by printing many copies and sending those copies to university libraries, which acted as repositories of human knowledge. Early on scientists realized that it made sense to collect high-quality articles and publish them as bundles (journals) at regular intervals; the peer review process was developed to determine which articles would make the cut. Printing is an expensive and was historically a labor-intensive process, and someone had to pay for it. The arrangement that was ultimately settled on was that the publishing companies, which were often operated by a particular university library, would charge subscription fees to those who received copies of scientific journals.

TLDR: it made sense as recently as 50 years ago.

This would be news if they'd somehow managed to make non-radioactive uranium. ALL naturally occuring uranium isotopes are radioactive. A stable (synthetic) isotope would be big news, and the existence of a process to get 7kg of such would be huge!
