Ruby's % operator behaves the same way, for both integer and float values. A positive-only modulus function is useful for wrapping angles. This bit me a week or two ago when I was porting audio algorithms from Ruby to C, and had to implement a positive modulus function[0].

From the video it doesn't even look like he called atc. But to answer your question, yes. He would tell atc where he's going and where he can be found.
But big data and AI have real usecases. For example AlphaGo, GPT, protein folding, better photography, etc.
It's honestly difficult to discuss ideas in the space outside of specialized discord channels given how divisive people on social media like twitter have been on the subject. Wallet based authentication is amazingly simple to work with and provides a great developer and end user experience, but you only really hear about it in passing and it gets overshadowed by the noise. Same with using NFTs for novel purposes; you can use them as essentially authz tokens for specialized services. I've been working on an NFT project exploring these concepts and am quite happy with the end results.

Two choices for anyone with a new idea
> If this fix is necessary to that contract

The fix can't be necessary because the original report included examples of it working using Intel Fortran and Cray Fortran. So there's an alternative. Also, if the contract specified GNU Fortran, then they would just do it and bill the customer.

My guess is that the customer here is asking because of a mandate to prefer open source solutions wherever possible.
Keep in mind that a large chunk of the voting population does not vote. 2020 only had a ~66% turnout. That leaves quite a large number unaccounted for. Also that 60% is more concentrated in a handful of states while the 40% is more evenly spread out.
Is there a way to play with a gamepad controller?

This is the coolest web game I've ever seen. So fast and smooth even on my ancient laptop.

I didn't know you could do this in a browser. Now I want to see a Subspace remake to complete my 90's nostalgia trip.
Unfortunately clear that most people commenting did not read the article.

I'd say it's a lack of funding for general education, and the decades-long prevalence of "lol nerds suck" attitudes to those who even THINK of getting said education.
No. I am a proficient audio learner and unless I’m distracted or uninterested I remember audio content for years!
> Typically experts are people who have spent far more time than other people doing exactly what you're describing: slowly sifting through and cross-referencing data, asking questions, digging up resources, and testing hypothesis.

For sure, but that's not at all how fact checking is implemented today. Most of the critique is related to the silencing, discrediting and deplatforming of reporters and professionals (i.e. experts by your definition) that express a different interpretation or selection of data. Even if it was enforced through gate-keeping by merit, it would still be massively subject to bias and political capture.

It's abundantly clear that fact-checking is at best using Western authority consensus, which is much more narrow than even scientific consensus, which itself has a majorly flawed track record in recent history.

What fact checking is effectively doing is treating information, debate and ideas as a form of hazardous material, too dangerous to be freely exchanged, unless certified by chain of custody through the supply chain of truths. Independently of the do-gooders' commandable intents, the result is predictably Orwellian. The systems, processes and bureaucracies for policing speech are rapidly expanding during this pandemic, see e.g. the Trusted News Initiative[1] and check their partner list. (There are of course countless other moving pieces.)

Richard Hanania had some interesting comments about this ( https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/reflections-on-2021 )

> When I’m on Twitter, how rude should I be?

> I tend to admire thinkers who are civil and think less of those who are rude. Usually, I try to emulate those I admire and not those I don’t, but I actually think there’s an intellectual case to be made for rudeness and snark as long as it’s used in defense of worthy ideas instead of tribalism or self-aggrandizement (maybe a topic for a future Substack). One thing that used to bother me about academia was how someone would have a critique of a research project that completely discredited it, but nobody would actually follow the argument to its logical conclusion and say the research was therefore worthless and the author should go do something else. We as a society would be better off valuing being correct more and being civil less. Maybe you would ideally want both, but I suspect that there’s actually a tradeoff, as people who tend to be right about a lot are often jerks, and academics who are wrong about everything always seem to be complimenting each other for being stunning and brave (see #HighlightingWomen and #WomenAlsoKnowStuff). Economics is less crazy than other disciplines, and now there are female academics complaining that the field is too mean, which to me seems necessary to trim bad ideas. So I’m sort of a fan of incivility and rudeness, but also thinking carefully about how to make snark constructive (I’m aware this could all be motivated reasoning and I just enjoy insulting people). Another consideration is that people usually say that movements do better when they’re polite, so I may be harming the prospects of the views I advocate for. This always struck me as a belief rooted in social desirability bias, a kind of “nice guys finish first” philosophy. The woke are the most aggressive and least civil and tolerant political faction in the country, and they seem to have had the biggest political impact in the last few years. Trump supporters are the rudest people on the right, and they’re wining on their side. So why do we think civility is good for a movement? Like using Twitter though, this is one of those things where it’s easy to see the benefits while the costs are hidden.
Going to the wreckage is a reasonable idea. There will be an ELT in there which is what a rescue crew will come looking for. Plus it's easier to spot from the air than a lone person. And maybe something useful survived the crash.

That said, it's an incredibly fake stunt video.
It is infuriating to see a ome contractor flexing their client’s powers while showing zero interest to support the vital element of their contract.
No Idea. Bonuses? I have extrapolated to all workers, but the actual number might be a bit different because of this.
And they get roughly equivalent truth values, modulo Paul's slightly more misleading wording?
I can imagine that would find mostly references to what we used to have for screens and TVs back in the old days.

Central (book) Repository of Texas, perhaps? (You know, where a guy is supposed to have been hiding with an old [Mannlicher?] carbine just over 58 years ago...)
photo.net is another photo sharing site that really missed the boat. It was basically the Unsplash of the 2000s, with tons of pros and wannabes showcasing their work, but the interface stagnated and I remember that there was violent opposition to allowing resolutions higher than 800x600 or so: all the photographers were petrified that their high-res images would be stolen and used in print ads.

There's a lot of history of doctors/educators saying that autistic people have trouble empathizing with others, that they're just less equipped for empathy or emotional connection in general.

This turns out to be (for many autistic people) just not true; they empathize just fine but their experiences of the world and the way they express empathy and read empathy are different enough from neurotypical people that it's like a bridge that needs to be crossed, it's hard to connect the feelings in a way they can understand, or to know what's going on and when/why someone is feeling upset about something.

What double empathy does is it rephrases that problem as a mutual problem; the issue is not that autistic people are incapable of emotion (for some autistic people it's actually the opposite problem, some autistic people struggle with hyper-emotions and hyper-empathy). The problem is one of communication and understanding. Both neurotypicals and autistic people struggle to understand, read, and communicate with each other.

Double empathy is an attempt to take something that was historically a burden that autistic people had to handle entirely on their own, and to instead rephrase it as a communication problem that can be overcome by both parties learning more about each other and learning to relate to each other.

Or, TLDR:

1. People who are different from each other generally have trouble communicating with and empathizing with each other.

2. Autistic people are often different from neurotypical people.

3. Therefore, autistic empathy is often a problem of communication and understanding, not a one-sided moral or emotional defect within the autistic individual.
I live not too far from where this was supposed to take place, and November is not a bad time for winds. If you go further East (or South as people say here) that may change, but Lompoc -> Mammoth ending somewhere described as "50 miles N of Santa Barbara" doesn't seem like it would take you there.
> Autistic people experience the world in a different way than non-autistic people

I don't think this is a generalization. In fact, it is the opposite of a generalization.

> all non-autistic people perceive the world exactly the same way

They aren't trying to say this. The first statement doesn't imply the second.
I think the current token prices are a bubble, but I think the space itself is here to stay.
The critical innovation of blockchain is that it takes your digital signatures and orders them in a way that's byzantine fault tolerant.
> You may not be able to make things impossible for an attacker, but you can sure make them want to go somewhere else for easier pickings (if they're not targeting you, specifically - if they are, you're probably screwed)

True but this is how all security works. Not just in IT. Nobody has perfect physical security either. We just use the best lock on our door or bike to make the thief move to the next one over, or in some cases to a different type of crime entirely (for example bank robbing and kidnapping seem to be much less popular than in the 80s)

Even something like Fort Knox can be robbed but it would require a party with state-level resources and there's much more valuable things than lots of gold that you can obtain more easily.

Having security has never been perfect but always a matter of "most likely good enough for the expected threats".

This is also why mitigation and planning is so important in security. Not just to focus on preventing the hack ever happens, but to have good plan of what to do if it does.

And no it'll never be possible to relax and consider security "solved". It'll always be a cat and mouse game. Also applies to all forms of security. Even physical locks still get new exploits found like the bump key and computer based picks.

So I'm pretty sure we'll just keep going as we are. We'll never achieve perfect security but we won't go back to goat farming either. It won't even solve our problems because there'll always be criminals ready to steal our goats.

The real problem is human nature. Or even nature in general: whatever weakness turns up a predator will step in to exploit it. We're just moving the battlefield.
I have started answering many of these calls more so because of WFH as no one is watching me have fun. When they ask me, my car is always old - from 1929 Ford T to 1980s Toyota Celicas. Then they get on to either disconnect or ask if you have another car which is an opportunity to give them another old car or argue with them why they can't give me warranty on a 1929 Ford T. Fun times although I wish I did not have to do that.

But today I got hung up in 7 seconds. Feel bad.
I wouldn't say Tesla is a luxury car though, especially in comparison with other cars in that price range.
If you're debating whether he was the true creator of the mRNA technology or if he has some anti-vax bias influencing is opinions you're completely missing the point.

Whether you like it or not, Dr Malone should be part of the conversation on the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines and the treatment of COVID because if he is not qualified to speak or have an opinion on this topic then literally who is?

It's absolutely ridiculous that we're still at each others throats on this. If there was some hypothetical pro-vax radical at Pfizer pushing the need for quarterly boosters then they should equally be part of the conversation. This isn't Alex Jones anymore, these are educated and previously respected people with huge followings who should have a voice in a supposedly free, democratic country. Wake up.
> I would have attempted a controlled crash over gentle mountainous terrain like this. You want to dump the aircraft's kinetic energy rapidly but not suddenly -- gliding into the side of a cliff will kill you, but keeping the airplane pointed forward while shearing off the wheels and crumpling the nose is fine. It looked like there were several areas where this would have been relatively safe to attempt. You don't need a nice flat field for a survivable crash.

This sounds pretty scary though… If you were an experienced skydiver, with your gear on, don’t you think you’d be tempted to jump instead?
What if it’s a scheme to collect commissions selling wallets?
Yeah that was what I thought too, but I don't have a full enough understanding to definitively say if IBM had any culpability or not.
A YouTube video in this genre where there is a little questionmark whether it's real or not, is unfortunately almost always fake.
How is it possible that you jump from a plane, descent at least for 5 to 10 seconds, deploy parachute and then make a shot of the airplane 1000 feet below, who made a full 360 turn, but during the shot flying straight, at almost the same altitude as where the engine problems started.
> So sick and tired of the backwards mentality that giving something away to the world for free means that you now have an additional obligation to fix everyone else's problems for free. The "as is" clauses in Open Source licenses are there for a reason.

That's one of the differences between coders and engineers.

Coders just import libraries to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Engineers consider each import as a dependency they'll have to maintain, buy support for or replace. Log4j just highlighted this difference, with some knowing exactly what to patch and others franctically trying to determine if one of the thousands of dependencies they imported into their app actually used it.
Considering the many reports in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29705957 of login attempts using the master password it seems like the full story has yet to be told. Saying that they "were likely triggered in error" does not say much to me, and the inclusion of the word "likely" sounds like they themselves don't know what triggered it.
It’s -3 in GCC 11.2.0

main() { printf("%d\n",-7/2);}

Let’s look at, oh, C11: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf

PDF page 110, physical page 92: When integers are divided, the result of the / operator is the algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded. with a footnote: This is often called ‘‘truncation toward zero’’

-7/2 is -3.5, so discarding the fractional part gives us -3

Cats were more utilitarian, mostly used to keep vermin away, and their status or popularity as pets was lesser than that of dogs.

There are some passages in the movie suggesting that Societies of cat lovers were almost underground organisations at the time.

Louis Wain changed that perception with his extremely popular (and long lived) art.
How much would it cost them to hire a software contractor to reproduce what you've made? Get your boss to ask for fixed-price quotes from three different software contractors. 60-70% of the median value is probably a reasonable ask for you to make, and anything above 50% seems the right ball park for a deal.
> It is not client/server; a process must be able to fopen() the database file.

The one time I actually wanted to do that, I wrote the server that `accept`ed incoming connections and used the single `fopen`ed SQLite DB.

It can be very flexible that way, TBH, but if you really need that type of thing a more traditional DB is better.
It's pretty much expected, these sorts of complex systems follow a bathtub curve. Failures either happen very early or after a very long time. If you design something so that it has a 99% of lasting 1 year, there's pretty good odds that it'll make it to 5 years since the riskiest time is the first weeks/months.

I very highly doubt France would work with Cray/HPE, or any non-French contractor for that matter, on this. As far as I'm aware, they're working with Bull (now part of Atos).
The answer to that wouldn't even invoke Godwin's Law, because you'd be too far right for thst to apply.
There's basically one protocol that constitutes the web, http.
I wonder if they still use them though. You quickly get to a point of the security measures undermining effectiveness.
While I didn't get to see what the site originally looked like. If it was just 'submit anonymous comments that websocket subscribers can see', there's a golang example leveraging the gorilla/websocket package that does just that[0].

Edit: I see from the OP's link to the github project that persisting the chats to a DB was included with this.

Comparing corporate profits to a 'cpi like' inflation metric is astoundingly stupid when instead you could just look at M2.
I'd say that if he stays on the same path, we won't need to concerned for much longer. Compounding risks have a way of converging on expected outcomes, over time.
Rich Europeans are also illiquid, first born manchilds that inherited a finance role at the family office and have no idea what to do.

I find it really interesting how the US optimized specifically for liquidity. Like, foreigners came to the US to use it for that and eventually won. Crazy to think how much is illiquid around the world, and how much more can become liquid.
Another insane feature of WhatsApp (besides using phone number for an internet service) is that it only runs on Android and iOS (the web client is only some kind of "remote access" to the app, which requires the app to constantly run).

I actually run Android-x86 VM on a server because of WhatsApp, which I need for work. And it has some problems, for example to allow the browser to access the app, you need to scan a QR code - but I did not find a webcam emulator (think: v4l2-loopback on normal Linux) for Android or a way to emulate a webcam in VirtualBox or Qemu, so I need to copy the VM image to a computer with physical webcam, scan the code by pointing the webcam to the screen, and then copy it back to the server. WTF.

Or am I missing something? How do people without smartphones use WhatsApp (for communicating on a computer)?
Same. Know a handful of ppl making well into 6 figures a year selling on StockX.

Journalists have a limited First Amendment right not to be forced to reveal information or confidential news sources in court. There’s a lot of caveats related to this though. It’s called “reporter’s privilege.”
I would question how many people "failed" to answer this question because of poor literacy versus a lack of domain knowledge in the subject matter. The article is full of sales and marketing jargon that most people -- in my experience -- just don't have experience with.

> Do you think smart people are going to work for tips because their employers don't pay enough

I'm not a waiter and hate tipping but don't most waiters like tips because they earn more with them. It looks like the US has the highest paid waiters in the world being 25% more than malta and 50% higher than the UK which are the second and third highest paying countries for waiters [0].

> Or smart people will work for ISPs and large corporations that have turned employment into a one-sided legal agreement that many people feel like they have no other choice to sign, all the while dealing with a company that doesn't even care about it's customers?

What do you mean? What is legally allowed to be contracted is dictated by laws, not the populaces education.

> Rich people want to get richer and need stupid people to do the low wage jobs and to fight amongst themselves. That's the way it has been for ages.

That is a great way to destroy your economies stock market and your wealth by turning your country from a high income economy into a middle income one [1].
