Python is all but "easy to embed" - for one thing it's huge, and it requires linking to native libraries which may conflict with your own (openssl comes to mind). It also has an unstable ABI (and even API in some cases). Lua, in contrast, is just a single, very lightweight DLL, with no external dependencies and a stable ABI.
Not what we usually mean when we say DRM though. The check can be done entirely offline.
Yep, the positional/spatial audio is godsend. Hearing people speak from different points in space, it is easier to track who is speaking. Also, branching of the main conversation to have a private "face-to-face" conversation.
It's my understanding that Lua can be more easely sandboxed, at least compared to Python.
It kinda is in cities, but the challenge is having a country-wide network.

I'm in Germany, which may obviously differ from the US, but here's what I see: In cities new app-based services that are much, much more convenient to use take over. But they're only available in large cities (and even there only in the inner part of the cities).

If you need a car from "small city X" to "small city Y" there's simply no company other than Hertz, Europcar and Sixt that can offer you that. And it's hard for any other company to create such a network of locations.
I'm not sure replacing racism with classism (oh, you are poor, you need to go away to school) is much better.

Extensive supervision and scrutiny? I mean, are we not doing some of this with public schools now? And if not, why not?

And seriously, we (in the US) allow lots of options for troubled kids without supervision ("work the bad out of you), we've allowed conversion therapy for LGBT+ children, have little oversight on for-profit schools and we allow folks to force their religion on their children, even if the 16- or 17-year-old doesn't believe.

I highly doubt there would be oversight.

I'd also like to point out that the Canadian schools were really, really recent, and I don't think much has changed since.
My impression is that Python is not actually easy to embed (and I say this as a fan and frequent user of Python).
Why would you ever want to use a debit card instead of a credit card?
It’s pure madness, if you get scammed you lose all your money, while with the credit card you can simply do a reverse charge.
It also usually includes insurance for everything that you buy with that for a couple of months.
Spending time reminding myself that there is no soul, god, afterlife or anything likewise as a reminder that we’re just animals and our consciousness’ need to be anything more is ego getting in the way of being truly empathetic and reverent of the time we have here.
I'd wager it would be closer to 7-8 (larger, developed) countries total NOT having most those things.

I know this is "very European of me", but those are all very basic worker rights that most reasonable countries have had for decades.
Python is not easy to embed. It's very unsecure and is difficult, if not nigh-on impossible, to effectively sandbox. (see RestrictedPython)
Yes -- thank you.
I can ensure you that what you would see in a university in 2022 is going to be just like 15 years ago.

As for C# you can do most C++ like stuff in C# 10.
Sure, just like the olden days. But you still need a license key or equivalent - for an offline check. And in the case of an app store that is handled by the app store, you never get or see the key. So if you are banned that doesn't help.

And even if you had a key you still don't have access to the install media. You could try to extract it from your drive but there is no guarantee that will work on another computer or OS-install since the installer might optionally install what is needed on that computer.
Unlike Wikipedia, OSM does not have a notability requirement. You do not have to draw houses, or stuff that is on offical maps, you can map anything physical (and static). From individual trees to CCTV cameras.

E.g 1.
There was a great map posted here a while ago that just mapped power lines.

E.g 2. And a worthy map that I saw here was a wheelchair map showing where the curbs were good and venues for disabled people etc.
I've been in a company where the the CEO is on slack from 6am to midnight 7 days a week expecting a response within a minute to anything. Extremely toxic environment.

The worst of it, in some sense, is that they don't even do it from an angle of intentionally attempting to overwork people. It's just that they're an obsessive multitasker who doesn't really get that focus-oriented people need focus time, which is the complete opposite of what slack is.
> Carlsen is known for his ability to beat his opponents at chess. Has nothing to do with mental fortitude.

You're choosing to ignore the entire argument instead of addressing it. When you say "ability to beat his opponent at chess" that includes the mental fortitude (also emotional stability, ability to perform consistently over long matches etc) The point is that after game 6 Ian's performance was far below his actual chess ability. So we look to psychology to explain that difference. Saying stuff like "he performed at that level so that's his ability" doesn't get anyone anywhere.
Basic firewall allows outgoing connections, so it wouldn't help.
Yeah I don’t disagree with you, I was really trying to dispel the idea that somehow the implementation language puts an upper limit on the performance of the implemented language.

So, consider a perfectly spherical Java language… :)
At the highest competitive level the psychology of the player takes a major role in his performance.
Class is loaded when it's first instantiated, unless you're explicitly loading it.
At least he has status.
Python to Crystal??! But Crystal is a statically compiled version of Ruby, not Python.
Here in France, I find that they're still popular with the elderly customers ahead of me at the checkout.
It seemed like DDG improved greatly a few years ago, I started using it and now it just seems like it's slipping again. Of course this is purely anecdotal, maybe it's just in my head but I could've sworn it was better like half a year ago maybe.

And it's not about regional searches but searches in english about general stuff like programming problems that seem to return something very loosely related or a lot of pages in chinese. I paste the same query in StartPage and I get all the answers so I'm testing StartPage as the default for now even though I don't like SP's UI as much as DDG's.
On the other hand, people who can code in legacy software have strange opportunites appear in front of them if they are suitably prepared and ready. VB6, delphi and ancient versions of microsoft access are still used in many and varied ways.

Its very much a who-you-know deal though.
> If they ban me, do I lose my thousands of dollars of games?

I can kind of understand if you were legitimately in the wrong (e.g. sending death threats to other users, getting a warning, and then doing it again), but in the situation where you are simply inactive for some period of time I think it’s unreasonable.
Not sure about TCL, but python is much bigger, has a bigger memory footprint, and is a bit slower than LUA. Also, check how easy is to integrate Lua into your codebase
That was sort of my experience. I grew up in poverty and stayed in poverty until I was almost 25 years old because I didn't know any better. My parents didn't distrust institutions. Instead, they mocked things they couldn't afford, so I grew up thinking college was a "stupid waste of time and money" and unimportant.

For me, the things that broke me out of my family's cycle of poverty were a public library, a love of reading, and a determination to learn a valuable skill that people would be willing to pay me for.

I read everything from medical journals to books on auto mechanics to baking. I was willing to do anything to make more than the $5.85 an hour I was, at the time, raising my family on. Eventually, I picked up a copy of "Sam's Teach Yourself C Programming," which was weird, since I didn't know what C was and didn't own a computer. But, for some reason, the book clicked. I kept reading and studying programming books from the library and eventually got my first programming job with Intel. In my case, the public library was the key to breaking the poverty cycle, not just for me, but for my children as well.

I eventually got a college degree in my early 40s and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. I don't think I could have done that in my 20s though, due to the way I was raised. I had to get there via another route; the public library.

Because of the benefit they've been to my life, I love public libraries and recommend them to anybody wanting to improve their current situation. I'm sure there are other resources available too. That's just the one that worked for me.
That's just because there's no a lucene equivalent C library with the same level of attention?

however, there are increasingly such written in C++ (pisa) and rust (tantivy). They handily beat lucene in benchmark suites [1] - so it seems like lucene does suffer from a java penalty - despite getting even more developer attention than pisa and tantivy I would think.

No, expectations of employees + supply and demand are the market. If your job is in high supply, your expectations matter very little because there will always be someome more desperate willing to work in worse conditions.
Sometimes that is exactly the case For example, farmers. Farming families have traditionally had more children, and children were able to help with farm duties. We don't see as much of this in a lot of areas anymore because farming doesn't take as many people as it used to - at least in areas with machinery.

In some traditional areas, it probably depends on the gender of your children too.

Additionally, there are 'soft' benefits, like older children providing child care or adult children taking care of their parents or in-laws.
> Anyone knows if a git (partial) rewrite has been attempted in Rust yet?

There’s a project called gitoxide, though I don’t know whether its goal is to rewrite git itself.
One shortcoming of this and every other study comparing seropositives is that they obviously underestimate such cases 2 to 3 fold. Also further stratifying to “healthy males” would have seen an even more prominent rise.

I am sad that only now this has become an open issue. Meanwhile, women are still fighting over menstrual cycle changes post vaccination.
there's also the possibility that omikron is in itself much milder
> Thankfully, I had researched renting a car in the US, so I got a credit card before I left.

I had done some research too, so knew a credit card was needed, but somehow had missed the part where it had to be in the same name as the driver. As I said, here in Norway I've rented cars many times without driving them, no questions asked.

I get that they prefer a credit card, but it didn't cross my mind they cared which one they got. The manager said it was because I could claim I had nothing to do with the rental, which I get now, I just hadn't thought about all these ways of scamming the rental company.
I was responding to:

"your family in the background"

It's an easily resolved problem. I do it myself, as my office is a mess. I've used a photo of a bookshelf, too :-)

I've also had many business zoom meetings with people with their kid in their lap, or their pets demanding attention, etc. It's not a problem.
> send the all the kids to boarding school or military school. It could put them in an environment free from their background circumstances.

It is a common meme in some circles that sending (problematic) kids to boarding or military school will "set them straight". To me, it's basically just hope that a bit more violence will work.

Also, after 6 years spent in an environment where you are told what to do every minutes, where rules are clear and mostly non-negotiable, bed and meal times always the same... what happens when you are put back in the regular world ? I exaggerate things to make a point, it's not black and white but still.
In a world where malicious parties might break into your (say) GOG account and try to delete it, there are "non-evil" reasons for GOG to make account deletion somewhat difficult.
I thought it was an entertaining watch. I think the chess community is a bit too picky about what makes a good match.

- many draws -> "chess is dead", "yawn, another draw", "they should change the format"

- one player wins decisively -> "this isn't World Championship level", "how embarrassing for Ian", "someone else should play instead"

So you really need to have very very close wins (like game 6 this year) throughout the entire match to satisfy people. Realistically that's not going to happen very often.
> How does this serve the company trying to hire someone?

The interviews are designed to evaluate algorithm & data structure knowledge and proficiency. Most experienced software engineers have not kept up to speed with such knowledge since they were in school. It is not their fault, as most jobs/projects don't require maintaining such knowledge in order to be effective on a day-to-day basis.

N.B. The interview firm I worked provided the option for a second interview if the candidate believed that the first interview did not provide an accurate assessment of their skills.

In any STEM profession, one's academic knowledge "expires" in 5 years or so. Continual learning & practice (incl. interviewing skills) is a requirement to maintain employability in a field.
> Carlsen is known for his ability to beat his opponents at chess. Has nothing to do with mental fortitude. You can be the most mentally tough person on earth and it won't enable you to see tactics better.

What are you talking about man? Mental preparation if one of the key ingredients when preparing for chess tournaments. In recent interview Topalov said about Carlsen [0], that "after the seventh hour his brain works at almost the same level as in the second hour. Very many people are capable of playing decently for three, four or five hours, but in the 6th-7th hour almost everyone crashes. He, however, plays very evenly. That’s his main advantage over the rest"

My condemnation extends to nurses; no one is beyond criticism. Infact, a surprising number of nurses have insane ideas - more than you'd think. To wit, at my local hospital, a doctor found an abrasion on a patient's back which was later attributed to a "healing crystal" supplied - and installed - a few days before, by an attending nurse.
Joplin is just a SQLite database which is very easy to query.
Is it unnecessarily complicated though? I feel like while “stop paying more” should be an easy process, “permanently lose access to a thing I already paid for” should be difficult in order to guard against unexpected things, since it is a potentially irreversible event with negative monetary consequences for the user.
That's a different thing from what OP is saying, they're right that Steam doesn't automatically enforce any DRM. It does provide the mechanisms but it's up to the devs whether they use them or not. In lots of cases you can just directly run the executable, especially for indie games.

> I live in europe and basically all mc/visa are actually debit cards.

I doubt that is true, can you expand on that with some references?

I know there are many cards which are both a credit card and a debit card but that just means two cards in one package. But credit and debit are still fundamentally different networks with different rules. A debit transaction hits your account right away and the money has been taken out. A credit transaction settles later and can be paid from any source, it is not tied to any specific account.

I wanted to use my Index for virtual desktop, even watching movies, but resolution is low, really low.

I know these things will get smaller and have higher resolutions, no cables, etc. But I am really not looking forward to having an antenna strapped to my head all day long.

It's obvious that many young people don't have a problem with that, since bt headphones seem incredibly popular and well on their way to replace the cords, but I am not like that
Higher power density, not higher power. You aren't going to get more watts anywhere than went in, but you will potentially get more watts per cm^2 than at the antenna.
> Not feeding the troll but outside memory safety, everything else you list exist in the C++ ecosystem with generally better alternative than in C#.

Oh? I don't think you can dispute that the C standard library is very limited and the state of dependency management / build tooling is very poor. And that actually limits the usability of the open source library ecosystem quite a lot; maybe there are more C++ libraries out there, but you can't just type what you want into the nuget search bar and get on with using it.

Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder, but the very weak semantics of C++ templates mean you can't reason compositionally about C++ code, whereas in C# it's relatively easy to have a codebase that you can reliably understand piecemeal.

> And as soon as you do touch mmap , unsafe area or native code in C# you loose memory safety too anyway.

In principle yes, but if you keep those points very rare then you can subject them to extra review etc. at a level that would be impractical with a C++ codebase (where even "a + b" is undefined behaviour in the general case). Memory safety vulnerabilities in real-world C# codebases are rare.
My understanding is that one group literally believes that the President was elected undemocratically, and are trying to correct for the mass fraud that was used to install the current President illegitimately. In that view, the coup attempt is in fact an attempt to overthrow an undemocratically installed despot, and follows along with an American ideal of representation in the government.

Now, I don’t personally believe this. But I also think sovereign citizens are stupid. I still think both sovereign citizens and “big lie” proponents are trying to interpret and apply American values, even if I think they’re misguided. I hope to be able to convince “big lie” proponents to understand my worldview in that the current President was legitimately elected, but first I think it’s important to understand their position.
I did for a while but then it started trying to interefere with my Amazon purchases so I went back to Firefox.
Keep in mind that display panel resolution and "game" resolution are not very similar in VR headsets. The lenses in most headsets only show a roughly circular area of the display, and the pixels in the center of the display end up much larger than the pixels at the edges due to lens distortion.

You often need 2-4x more panel resolution than the effective resolution to the viewer, just to deal with those factors (though this does vary wildly with lens and panel design).
you wrap the host across the embedding boundary so that the host and lua can either use their own convention or have access to a special object that explicitely and clearly exposes the other convention.

In general using array indexes as foreign keys should always be considered carefully.

And if all you will be doing is iterating then the starting index doesn't really matter (unless you copy paste loop logic, which is a problem in itself)
The correct version of the idiom is definitely the one with blood not water. The first attested use in english is a couple of hundreds years old.

You'll find it here in the end of the first paragraph of the Evening LII chapter:

Here he basically accuses God of destroying a beautiful and desperate world to produce the light show at the Christ's birth time on Earth.

I don't see much reverence in this, just a recognition of power, like that a powerful villain might have.
When you add the necessity of booster shots, then the equation makes even less sense
> Microsoft introduced the School of the Future that had incredible results.

Your article cites no actual results.

In reality, the problems it seems to have had is that the basic idea just doesn't work: the first years were plain rocky. [0] When it dealt with some of the early problems, it got good results, to the extent it did (and certainly some measures were quite good), largely by costing more, even though the fundamental concept was to prove a scalable, efficient model by requiring no additional funding (so it had to try to close the gap by aggressive outside fundraising to meet the additional costs.) [1] When the baseline funding for public schools dropped, the extra cost of SoF’s original model became even less sustainable. [2]

The school still exists, but I can't find anything after 2014 even treating it as a particularly interesting thing.

Something like "buy a 1 month subscription".
It's a recent thing on a world scale. But it's always been an issue and applies to anything you buy - the more sophisticated, the fewer items are stocked in warehouses. It's not that they wouldn't be available, it's that once you start ordering hundreds, the lead time will change from days to weeks at some point.
> You could complain all day about rental cars ruining vacations, or you can just research ahead of time

As I mention in my other reply, I had done a fair bit of research but I somehow had missed the fact that the credit card had to be in the same name as the drivers license.

This has never been an issue here in Norway, and I didn't see it mentioned in my research.

So I thought it would be good enough if we used my credit card, similar to how I've paid for rentals here in Norway many times.
Are you sure you didn’t buy it for 5k?
If we're totally honest, people who are complaining about draws are usually recent new fans, or people who watch it for spectacle. I think it is very similar to football (soccer), those games that fans perceive as boring, dull, are tactically the most interesting to watch and analyze.
Okay I pour hours into content and go begging. What is my compensation if it doesn't succeed?
Please reread the parent post that I’m responding to. The post says they don’t wish to live in a society where people willingly mask. This explicitly targets people who would mask without a mandate.
Thanks for the tip, I haven't tried it with the PC Kindle app! An additional issue with (most) Hindi books is that they aren't supported on the Mac app, so they don't even download into the app's storage, let alone as standalone AZWs for manual transfer.
It's not a version of Ruby. And Ruby and Python are roughly equivalent, so if you can convert one, you can likely convert the other. (see also https://github.com/whymirror/unholy)
Yeah, those are the nrf51x line, this is the nrf52x line. It seems from the outside at least that Nordic is pushing the nrf52x hard even in price conscious designs. Even the micro::bit was respun for a v2 with a nrf52x also (including it's M4). Albeit I don't have much direct data on that.
Yes, HMD is direct visual input feed to your brain as you can get without being invasive. Neuralink implanted to visual cortex might get you similar feature, but neural "writing" (as opposed to reading, i.e. generating impulses in the brain) is a hard problem – we don't know how to encode the information. One route might be to just dump the signal in the cortex and hoping the brain will learn to interpret it as it does with other senses.
AOL had been around since at least 1991 and was still extremely popular well into the mid 00's.

Hotmail launched in 1996 and GMail didn't get popular until at least 10 years later. (IMAP was added in 2007~ and the beta was lifted in 2009 iirc).

That's a lot of time to be relatively dominant, but they're reminiscent of zombies these days.
I‘d argue that not allowing your servers to make outgoing calls to non whitelisted targets is very basic security.
