Though, with Smash Bros. tournaments using a standard double-elimination format that doesn’t care about margins of victory, at least the losing player is always incentivized to try to stop losing - unlike in fencing.
I certainly accept that other people may be different, but in my network I haven’t seen much of that (at least those I asked seem to say they tolerate the stress/uncertainty rather than enjoy it).

sad, but true.
that's the sunken cost fallacy.
and it's rooted deeply in human brains, and is tremendously hard to overcome. trying to consciously practice empathy with those effected, especially with loved ones, and telling them that they are loved goes a long way. a therapist can also help them to get over these deep rooted emotional responses. on the other hand, mindfully making prudent decisions and not surrounding oneself with yes men is something that a business owner can do. having a 'third person' set of eyes is super important, but that's a role that consultants rarely play
Thank you for pointing this out.

The bad thing about Dictatorships is not the lack of freedom, it's the balancing act of resources and freedom. Wealthy dictatorships really are as chill as any rich democracy as long as you don't start poking the leadership with political ideas that don't benefit them.

However, a lack of resources in Democracy or dictatorship will 100% result in civil unrest.

Which is interesting because people always adapt to whatever situation they are in. I recall this lady being interviewed on Al Jezeera near the bombardment zone in the Gaza strip a few months ago. She was frustrated about little things like kids not going to school, a bus route being destroyed and what not. Nowhere in her statement did she mention that she and her family just had missles landing a few hundred meters away in the dead of night.

Humans are interesting.
I forget the exact reasoning now, but I remember it being about 10x slower than memcpy or strncpy. I think the main reason was because of the need to parse the format string.

Rust newbie here. I confirm both the friendliness of the compiler and of the community.
Getting similar emotions to having been punched from reading a name sounds very scary. And, if such people exist, how can I tell, what other things can trigger others? People having been involved in bad car crashes might plausibly be triggered by mention of traffic. So the question becomes, why do we afford the safety to certain groups but not others? The simple fact is that any and all text, spoken or written, can do harm by triggering emotions or introducing ideas contrary to one’s beliefs causing discomfort. So how do we choose what to warn people about?
> How does one generally get to work on compilers? Is it mostly through academia? Through open source contributions to compilers?

You can just do it! As a place to start I'd recommend looking for tutorials on recursive-descent parsing, and just try to make a program that parses a toy language and transpiles it into C, or some other language you're familiar with. Then you can grow it from there.

You can get really fancy with things automatic parser generation, and using an LLVM back-end to enable optimization, but writing a simple compiler is a reasonable project for someone with even a basic handle on programming and a little creativity to just jump in and figure out.
It's as accurate as calling Walmart "an expert on firearms", just because SOME stores sell firearms in certain cities.

WilliamHale covers just about every area of law you can think of. Saying they are here to purely union-bust is a huge exaggeration (and outright wrong once you see who they _actually_ hired).

Unsettlingly often, the verdict in cases like that is "the driver was not at fault" or "the driver could not have foreseen that" or "the pedestrian did something unexpected" or "the pedestrian should never have been there in the first place".

And of course! That's the way it has to be. It is so easy to accidentally kill someone when you are driving a big vehicle that in order for anyone to drive at all, they need some degree of protection from the law.

It's not a "union busting" law firm tho. They do so much more than that, and it's specified who and what they hired from the firm (it's not the people at amazon).

And no, it's no coincidence when the state sues them that they hire the best firm they can find.
If they were actually open to sort out security issues, even if they never accept fat pointers into the language as additional types, like in Checked C, at very least something like SDS for arrays and strings.

New CS students will always have to deal with this bullshit in all the decades to come, because the industry will keep relying on UNIX clones for its computing infrastructure until we switch to something else like quantum computers.
This appears to be the issue.
Does anyone know if booting off a USB stick instead of SD card will prevent my RPi 4 from crashing every ~1-3 days?
Well that too; I can't quite remember but it's still the case that the default alternative platform to post videos that were harder to ban instead of YouTube was on PornHub. For those that don't know, there is/was a video of this person at a pool party with multiple women and if it were anyone else not an eyelid would be batted. Most every YouTube video even talking objectively, like the one by RealLifeLore, about lèse-majesté is blocked inside Thailand because it's easy for the government to coerce Google. There is a lot of specific censorship to save face. The Wikipedia page still exists though (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A8se-majest%C3%A9_in_Thai...) which has a section about internet censorship.
>It was based on the idea that the decision to approve the vaccine is the job of the FDA and that they have to pass their safety and effectiveness verdict.

You can't claim they were just following the rules, because they weren't. They bended and broke whatever rules they saw fit to get the vaccine done, including doing multiple phases simultaneously. If the FDA were following the rules, we still wouldn't have a vaccine available, because they still don't have full FDA approval.

The most important rules seem to be missing here. Most important is that most Italian words have emphasis on the second-to-last syllable. Some Italian words have emphasis on the third-to-last syllable, e.g. 'il semAforo' (the traffic light) but that is the exception. Putting emphasis in the right place is the most important thing that makes Italian sound like Italian. If you do just this it already starts to sound like Italian. Another important thing in pronouncing Italian is that the words have to flow together. It is like you should ignore that there are spaces between words. I suppose that already would come more or less naturally to singers. The rules that the article mentions about c and g are also quite important.
Depending on the time period there is also an additional option.

The poorest parts of those states are paradise in comparison to Kairouan or Kasserine, not to mention Tunisia in general. The point you are trying to make is obvious but it's a facile point. It's too bad people here get so butthurt about acknowledging that wow a really rich nation like the US is a really nice place to live compared to a country like Tunisia. Are we so PC that obvious reality is going to be debated? Good god.

if you care enough to find the people who did the union busting at amazong you'll see they are different people. Trying to compare one lawyer to another is like comparing an anesthesiologist to a cardiologist Just because they are both "doctors" doesn't mean they understand or work on the same stuff.

I'm not sympathetic of Activision, but I don't appreciate yellow journalism full stop.
I don't think it was unnecessary at all. If you got into a conversation about vaccines or covid anywhere on this site in the last few weeks you were talked down to, brigaded, bullshitted and dogpiled. Those people absolutely need to admit they were wrong, at least to themselves, otherwise they're going to be the next group of irrational voices shilling irrational things against people who are trying to deduce facts using reason.
Is there a good scientific explanation why quantum phenomena are required to explain consciousness? Or in other words, is there a reason to rule out consciousness as a natural emergent property of the macro-level structure and composition of our brains, without delving into the quantum realm (beyond what is necessary to explain the operation of the cells themselves)?
It's a great app, giving you iMac like control over your screen brightness. Love it.
For me, there is nothing intense about the emotions. I feel sad, that real care for the well-being of people has been replaced by the ability to slap a CW onto things. I also feel sad about there apparently being people intensly hurt by reading a name on a screen. How did we get there? Maybe because these folks have been led down a path of sheltering for so long any discomfort is unbearable? This must be a really horrible existence. I feel sorry for them but at the same time do think CWs are counter-productive.

yes... and there's no proof that this is what they were hired for. The people they hired aren't in that sector.

I'm actually starting to doubt how many people here hold jobs in specializations. We should understand already that prgramming isn't equivalent to IT fixing a friend's computer. You're doing the equivalent here with lawyers.
I hope they can establish their little market for people who care about this. The fact that this video caused a 2-day hug of death on their website could be a good sign.

Not sure yet whether to get this one, partially because I'd prefer an AMD chip. But Linux support might be great. Either way I'm in Europe, so it'll take a while.
Sung languages and spoken ones are different. From these comments it sounds like you don't sing much.

I had the same impression. To the untrained eye it is hard to appreciate what’s going on or what makes one fencer better. All I see is a blur and then the winner screaming in a fury. The broadcasting is terrible - they should show slowed footage with annotations (like in football plays) explaining what’s going on.
Cool, then we shouldn't have the computer automatically cropping photos then given that it can't reasonably do it.
Thats not how lawyers work. No more so than "REAL tech companies wouldn't work on crappy javascript libraries".
It’s also other sports. Basketball has a shot clock for a reason. American football also forces a play to begin within a certain amount of time. In fact I would say that football’s rules are almost a contrived set of constraints that force engagement and exciting action continuously.

Of course they have, do you think the government is just now getting in the business of leaning on private enterprise? You had the Big Ben system for US telephony, you had Operation Mockingbird which supposedly ended, you had many government agencies contracting with studios to produce propaganda (the most well known of these is wartime propaganda to counteract Nazi propaganda), fruit companies, oil companies, the lost goes on.

So, the very first attack gets better protection on their attack than a foil fencer? And simultaneous attacks just look like sabre?

And what about subsequent attacks after that? They're just normal where the threat of the counter attack drags us back to fencers not doing anything for 2 minutes?

Or what if play is halted and restarted somewhere other than the centre en-garde lines?
As already mentioned in other comments Multics uses PL/I.

It is an urban myth that C was the first high level system programming language.

JOVIAL, ESPOL, NEWP, PL/I, PL/S all predate it, while at Xerox after a small stint with BCPL they used Mesa (which later influenced Modula-2), SoloOS was written in Concurrent Pascal, and IBM did all their RISC research in PL.8, before creating Aix to go after UNIX workstation market.

There are plenty of others to dive into, if you enjoy computer archaeology.

Possibly quite big. It basically drives down the cost of switching. If someone has to learn a new interface anyway, why not switch to the best supported browser at the same time?

And if you add up enough annoyances that don't matter, eventually it becomes something. Mozilla still hasn't reclaimed the lofty peak when something like ChatZilla was feasible. A minor annoyance. One among many.

Firefox is basically in head-to-head competition with Chrome and has a very similar vision of what a web browser should be - just with less dev hours doing maintenance. That plus this user data suggests there isn't any reason to use Firefox.
Neal Stephenson admitted that he had switched to OS X in a 2004 Slashdot interview: https://slashdot.org/story/04/10/20/1518217/neal-stephenson-...

"You guessed right: I embraced OS X as soon as it was available and have never looked back. So a lot of 'In the beginning was the command line' is now obsolete. I keep meaning to update it, but if I'm honest with myself, I have to say this is unlikely."

Given that Stephenson didn't stick with CLI himself, the repostings of "In the Beginning was the Command Line" really should have ended long ago.

(As an aside, the interview is worth a read, particularly his response to "In a fight between you and William Gibson, who would win?")
Are you implying that censorship is necessary? If so, who are the non-liars that will police the liars?
This is similar to people wanting to volunteer after disasters, but get mad when they're told they'd be more in the way than helpful.

It's selfishness and narcissism masquerading as philanthropy. Instead of doing an actual useful task, they want credit for the exciting/pioneering front line work.

It was the same thing with the ventilator shortage. How many people publicly declared they were "inventing" a new, easy to make ventilator? Design was never the problem, manufacturing was. But few were interested in manufacturing extant (and already FDA approved) designs.

If we're going to argue on such a stupid level, Tunisia is a hellscape compared to the US because 1)Tunisia is such a great place that people who are angry and self immolate are political heroes and not tragic loss of mentally unstable life. Let's not pretend that just about anyone in Tunisia would kill to live in the West and people in the West don't know where Tunisia is because Tunisia doesn't matter as long as the islamist nuts are not in control. Of course you travlled to the west and of course it's safe to assume you're talking to someone who sees absolutely no reason to step foot in that place because that is most people in the west even if I might not be. It's hilarious how the way you frame your argument makes it clear which place is better to live but your national pride prevents you from accepting a self evident fact. I don't have to travel to south Africa to know that place is a hell hole too, what an asinine argument.

I'm Italian but not a teacher. The rules seems mostly reasonable but I think the author is wrong in the Diphthongs section. In the word "pietà" the "i" is not pronounced as in yarn. If you want an "i" as in yarn you need something like "iato".

In my personal opinion (not at all an expert on languages) an English speaker should work mostly on "gn" and "gl" since in Italian they form a single sound together while English speaking people split the sounds in two parts like "g-n".
Seems like a pretty plausible hypothesis: Current car manufacturers already have car factories, they only need to put in electric motors in stead of combustion engines. New electric-car manufacturers need not only to put in electric motors, but build the rest of the car -- i.e. the facilities to build the rest of the car -- too.

of course. Posting CDC data and WH quotes. While somehow nobody mentioned trolling wrt. GGP calling opponents "stupid" and "anti-intellectuals" without any data to back his position. Not surprising. Just a typical for these days debate with the "intellectuals".

>This is something new and something we didn't know just 2-3 months ago.

You are repeating the politicians' talking point what i was talking about . The very high chances that the "improved" 2.0 version would come were obvious pretty much from the start for anybody who paid even slightest attention to the precedents. Yet politicians have as always been playing ideologically charged short game all along right into populace ignorance while completely disregarding the long game.
> having a 'third person' set of eyes is super important, but that's a role that consultants rarely play

I think there's a tendency of not trusting outsiders, especially when it comes to small/medium family-owned businesses. The prevailing wisdom being: you don't understand how this business works, I have been nurturing it, I know my customers and market. Why change things if it has been working for years? It must be the creditors and competitors who are screwing me up.

Perhaps the best piece of advice for business owners is not to tie success or failure with your self-worth, and to always have an emergency exit plan for yourself even if you feel your business can endure for ages.

> Imagine a small company trying to write their own web browser from scratch nowadays.

Lets distinguish between browser frameworks (Chromium, Firefox) and web rendering engines (WebKit, Blink, Gecko).

Three rendering engines is more than enough. It is the lack of diversity in browsers that is problematic.

Most browsers use Chromium browser framework (which includes Blink rendering engine). Several use Firefox (Gecko).

We are using WebKit and building our own browser from scratch. When I say from scratch that means literally every little feature, menu item, setting, interaction like a toolbar button etc.
I’m using the exact same screen and it is what led me to write Lunar actually.

The screen is great, text is perfectly sharp in 4k on both M1 and Intel Macs. I don’t have the HDR function because I bought it 4-5 years ago but the colours look very good too, no washing out problem.

But the damn joystick man, I just couldn’t get past it and had to spend 4 years writing an app to work around it.
There was always an inactivity rule - basically the ref could call inactivity and move the fight to the last minute (as I remember it), but it was rarely done. Giving a yellow to the fencer that's behind is a good innovation. They should dump the off target element in foil and make it on targets only though.
