I have used this library before, it's a powerful library indeed but the documentation is a bit lacking. There isn't a straightforward guide to do the most common operations, even the most simple ones like connecting a client to a server, and you're left with studying the various examples provided, each of them do things a little differently. There are also a lot of undocumented functions/constants/structs.

Why would that matter? It's part of the left, coming out against science. Most conservatives against science aren't themselves researchers in hard science fields.
I can totally relate to people who love the simplistic of C, but ObjC? I couldn’t fathom why anyone would prefer this mess to Swift.

In this day and age that's a pretty brave presumption. I wouldn't assume anything of the sort!

Given the current Java waterlogging mechanisms, even if doors acted like slabs and trapdoors, they would still hold out water source blocks present on one face. It would still break scuba diving though.
Is that ominous saying really common in China?
I appreciate you continually championing this cause.
Because Fab space has been at a high premium for some time, many manufacturers are focusing on producing higher priced (and higher margin/higher profit) items, maybe that is why you see less availability of down market AMD products? Also, AMD was pretty much sold out across the board beginning of the year; there was basically no availability of 5000 series in most retailers, and limits on CPUs per customer when they do come in stock.

Once the semiconductor situation settles down and it all goes back to normal, you'll probably see more availability of AMD on the lower tiers - the situation is already getting better with most of the 5600 (and higher) series of cpus back in stock now.

I agree that it shouldn't be "too easy" as a fraud deterrent, but making it impossible seems like an overreach of consumer protection.

Usually they would explain what they did to corroborate the story. This had none of that. I trust NPR specifically because they usually are transparent about their methods or disclose when they couldn’t meet their usually reporting standards.
Agreed. In general I've found ars Technica to be a very poor source of information and low on quality.
Not being able to delete your own account yourself is a valid complaint. Having to send an email is 100% not acceptable.
I'd urge whoever killed this to re-think that. I'm not a c64 fan, but I am into emulation and as a part of that I spend a lot of time looking at ads from the 80's and 90's to get a clue about prices and specs.

The linked article may look like spam, but in the context of emulation it does have some value (by shedding cultural insight).
And we don't need those services. We just want them for convenience.

The data only plans is is good path to follow, it at least makes it more obvious each time a service clearly wants too much personal data.
Might also suggest looking at GNU Guix (as a packager manager or full distro). Then the whole system will be build on Guile Scheme too! I'm a recent convert and have been loving it.

Edit: and yes, their installer lets you select EXWM as your window manager right from the get go.
Agreed - in a personal project I've moved a lot of functionality to native but sometimes jQuery is just more neat and understandable.

I'd be interested in moving there, depending. I love the idea.

Depends on the glue used, it might be a little brittle when fresh out, test it on non-critical surfaces. Sometimes I put a little more glue than water, etc. Experiment with fractional mix before going all in.

You do now need to use all the water from the mix if there’s leftover after a long mix.
Robot vacuum does this but scanning the ceiling.
This is multiply wrong. First, it’s not “worth it” to bring in $100 at a cost of $99. The government is already inefficiently burning wealth when it brings in money at $0 overhead, and now you’re multiplying that by 100. If bringing money into the government were intrinsically good, you could just raise taxes.

Second, this has to be balanced with the taxpayer’s costs of being audited.

What is good and the purpose of tax enforcement is that the system runs as the law defines it and is “fair” in the sense that everybody has to obey the law, without exception.

No I didn't mean the "you can replace the fork's URL with the main repo one and make the commit seem part of the repo". That's a weird github oddity to keep in mind, but not the issue I meant. I meant when that PR including its merge commits gets merged. Then those commmits become proper members of the main repo.
Facebook apology as AI labels black men 'primates'
To complete my thought, I was also under the impression that the IRS does not disclose criminal activity to any other entities automatically. This still seems to be the case in 2021, unless the tax return becomes evidence in a trial, or under some other conditions.
If this is such a tiresome question, why is there so much ink spilled about voting rights/integrity? It seems you are one of the few people who think the system ensures oversight. If it isn't corrupt, perhaps. But what if it is? That is the situation many people think we are in now. Our elected officials do not represent the voters. They largely serve the interests of the donor class.
Depends where the vulnerability lies. Plenty of iMessage DoS attacks [1-4] have targeted CoreText, which, I believe is written in C and CoreFoundation. I think all of these DoS attacks could be mitigated by not viewing the message and disabling message previews in notifications.

There are reasons for the changes in GTK, though you may not agree with them, if you are confused about some then feel free to check the release notes. Or you can ask and I may be able to explain.

But if you don't have any issues with motif and it works for you then that's great.
Why Apple can provide such longer update is partially thanks to they adopt vertical integration model. It's not fair to just expand it for all manufacturers.
Solution: Make Github's PR merge and/or squash commit message the PR extended description exactly, prefixed with a permanent link to the PR. Then the trick is making your thoughtful well-edited commit messages into a thoughtful well-edited PR description. Problem then is that the initial PR description does not often reflect review discussion. I think it's better to encourage requestors to edit their description than to believe that the person hitting the big "you're done" button will sit and edit a commit message.

What a fun project, thank you for sharing it!

re:

This sounds similar to the "collaborative diffusion" approach to pathfinding [1].

The link to https://github.com/lettergram/pleuro does not work. Do you still have a copy of the code somewhere?

I'm curious to learn more about how you modelled the control loops with Markov chains. Was the rough idea that there are states "forage", "eat", "protect", and then probability of transitions between states depends upon the simulated creature's current state & sensor information about the environment?

After some of these kinds of stunts, I wonder if it is possible that they're more interested in letting people know about their influence in making people submit to their demands, rather than suppressing the actual information.

From personal conversations with some Chinese students, it seems like most of them know what they aren't allowed to talk about, and it's more about submitting to those demands.
Mathematicians have precise definitions of "real numbers", "complex numbers", etc. but not of "number." For example, are the hyperreals numbers? Nonstandard integers? Quaternions?
He also created "Gary Kitchen's Gamemaker" a mid 1980s system that was quite similar to the "fantasy consoles" of today like Pico-8 and TIC-80, providing a simple IDE to create games.

It's not just Chinese box offices. There is a lot of investment money coming from China to produce Hollywood films. As part of that investment, the scripts are definitely under a lot of scrutiny for how things are portrayed. Keep that in consideration the next time you see the distribution logos at the beginning of the film you're watching.

Quitting software to become a llama herder.

Seriously, though, after over two decades of using different tracking systems I think that the real alternative to stuff like Jira is to not go there. You may think that you need all those bells and whistles, but you really don't. What you actually need is the simplest possible issue tracking system you can get away with. All you really need is a prioritised list of issues, and a list of who is working on which issues now. ‘Kanban’ boards get pretty close.

Minimalism is power.
There are and were mass child trafficking rings though. Epstein, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton were all involved, a girl in court said they were both on pedo island, Bill with 2 girls, she was with Prince Andrew. I'm sure there were Republicans involved too, but does that matter? It's no conspiracy.
Heads up that your link, vm.tiktok.com is tracked to your user. If I go to that video and share a link, I'll get a different URL. Previous iterations of their web frontend revealed user account info (eg the name used to register the foxhop user, assuming you snagged that username), but it looks like the current frontend no longer shows that.
You would think there has been research done in identifying curiosity and growth minds. Anyone? I think having a talk during lunch could answer this.

Well, good news! We passed legislation to limit ozone-depleting chemicals, and now the ozone hole has stopped getting worse and is now healing:

So we are not doomed, and it's good to not accept that. We CAN make changes and fix things. And it doesn't require getting rid of refrigeration (or energy), it just requires different refrigerants (or sources of energy).
You can find out which app is currently opened in Android. Do this repeatedly and you get an impression for how long which app gets used.

One factor here may be that due to Sarbanes-Oxley companies aren’t IPOing at small market caps anymore.
Exact same here, frustrates me to no end. They conveniently forget I've already watched some videos and they are shown as unwatched when I clearly remember watching them. Then others which DO show the red bar on the bottom indicating I've watched it, yet they still recommend it to me?!? Sometimes I have DOZENS of these recommendations in my feed. Lately it's been bad enough for me to really consider ditching YT for good.
I think more teams need to learn to do better documentation and specs with Agile. So many teams think that it’s just not needed.
"In its first weekend of home release, the film was the third-most rented title at the iTunes Store and eighth on Apple TV."

The trouble with making a worse option is that people still have choice and will simply use the more entertaining version instead. You can't just make a new social network that's not as engaging as the existing ones because nobody would use it. The moment you're really curious about the thing being hidden from you in the degraded service, you'll sneak a look at the real one to find out. If you had so much self control that you don't, then why do you even need a service for it? Just limit the number of hours you spend on social media yourself.

Fox’s own lawyers argued that ‘no reasonable viewer’ should take what he says seriously, and won a court case on the back of that argument.

Did I miss it or does she never actually say WHY she has to go on to play this dude? She talks about how now this tournament is being arranged for her after winning a tournament that her coaches pressured her into playing, but never says anything like “it turned out that winning this tournament meant I was obligated to go play against this butthead dude”.

If there is something like that then it feels like she’s omitting an important lesson of “look before you leap” from the summing-up of What I Learnt. Which is one her coach needs to maybe learn too since he was just as surprised.
Correct — I suspended development on the repository a few weeks ago to switch from launching centralized and federated initially to going fully decentralized at the start of the public beta.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of those problems could be alleviated by gasp paying workers a living wage, with schedules that allow one to have a life outside of work.

What's laughable is the absolute privilege of treating the worker class like the slaves they are and demanding they take what is offered.

Coincidentally the income inequality is the highest ever as well- but of course that couldn't be part of the problem.
Well yes. Early in the day I had a brief affair with Eiffel. But alas not practical. On the do not list the one I'm most suspicious about is no mutability. I'm willing to listen; looking forward to more here. C'mon we're gonna toss btree, hashing etc?
What specifically are the issues? In general, I find Ars does a pretty good job with their articles.
It is interesting; disregarding nitpicking about the calculation there could be multiple potential reasons that all are connected to the heart of the matter:

- women more likely to study and solve logistical study problems together

- men more likely to pirate books

- men less likely to be out during normal hours

- men less likely to choose majors requiring library books

- and of course, higher college enrollment by women

I am not saying any of these were necessarily in play in your situation, but some probably are and colleges and employers should be thinking about them.
