Heh. Had one. I overclocked my calculator by installing lower resistor (like 1MOhm to 250k, don't remember actual values).
It sure was brilliant back then.
Numbers were expressed in scientific notation and despite there were only 2 digits for order, actually calculator was capable to calculate up to 10^999.
Number greater 10^99 were displayed as "ERROR" (in 7 segment it was 'ЕГГОГ'), but if you lower order you can get correct mantissa.
In fact, the situation was more complex, some numbers were '3ГГОГ'.
It was very fun to discover hidden secrets.

If the author was the only person editing the file, and had a reasonable expectation of owning it for at least 6 months, then yes, start building a second environment.

But one antipattern might be that the file is being modified by other people, even if on paper he is the only owner. So while you create a test, someone you don't even know exists modifies prod right under you.

Another antipattern is forever-changing ownership. You own it for 2 weeks. Then someone anonymous in some layer above you decides something else, and of it goes. Maybe they did bother to tell you you're not the owner anymore, maybe they only told the new owner. In these 2 weeks, you've got ownership of 3 new programs and lost it for 2 others.

I've seen it happen. There is no way to build something stable in these circumstances. Management will need to provide some stability before the underlings can do any work. If you're living there, run away, you can't save them.

I invite you to go try IRC. It's still going strong and by my reckoning probably one of the least toxic places on the internet. It's not comparable to twitter or 4chan by a long shot in any case.
I figured there might be a better way.

Now can anyone explain the rationale for moving the dock to the bottom? Looks more like a Macintosh, therefore cool, right? Except that the left-edge deck was closer to the upper left corner, meaning less mouse movement to get to.
I suspect the real problem is poorer people in the UK tend to be on pre-payment meters. If they haven't got enough money to feed the meter they can't cook. Even though it was probably the crapy resistive heaters the landlord put in that drained their meter.
but... to avoid linter-level comments, maybe just run it through a linter? Stuff like console logs shouldn't be on a human checklist, it should be a very trivial linter rule that fails the build.
But it doesn't have 0 marginal cost - the R&D that went into developing the hardware needs to be recouped and a profit generated; just because the cost is virtual, in missed profit, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Gun powder and social order is very interesting. At one point, under Nobunaga if memory serves, Japan had more, and better, muskets than any other country on earth. Until the social order was inforced by banning those, going into isolation and cementing Samurai rule. In Europe on the other hand gun powder let to nation stated (sort of) and ultimately (along with a ton of other factors, incl. a Chinese withdrawl from the high seas) a colonial rule across the globe.
You see, when your Foxpro guy retires in 10 years, either you've been training your new hires how to program Foxpro (a waste of time) or you'll pay a specialist to move all your business data and operation macros to a new platform (a waste of money).

The idea of Concept Maps is better implemented via Neo4j or similar graph databases. Are there other reasons to use Cmap Tools instead of the established graph database ecosystem?

There are a lot of different cultural practices in Europe, and unification is a slow process. I for one have seen many imprinters in use in Europe, although it has been years since I last saw one. An online terminal used to be significantly more expensive than an imprinter, so small shops would prefer the imprinter, especially in rural locations with bad connectivity.
You might be new around here, but there's this thing called Free Software where (although that isn't why the word "Free" is there) the marginal charge for more copies is indeed less than five cents and often effectively zero.

Of course modifying the software isn't cheap, unless you're going to learn how and do it on your own time, but that's not a marginal cost

My lastest debit card (issued last year) was the first one I got without embossed numbers. I guess retrocompatibility is no longer a priority. Not that it changes anything for me, virtually every shop has already phased out even the magstripes and use either chip cards or NFCs.
NYC affordable tm / connect housing is like must make less than 75k and pay 2.5k rent. If you make 75k you probably get to keep 48k and rent would be 25.5k, more than 50% of disposable income. Objectively worse off.
As lotsofpulp said you'd be ahead by at least 50k with both spouses working even accounting for taxes at 40% which is almost certainly on the high side. Total tax rate for federal+state on the extra 150k is likely less but it depends on the exact situation.

In reality that's just pure cash. You'd be ahead even more in terms of saving for retirement which can also lower your tax basis. Benefits might also be better - some employers cover a greater percentage of the employee's premium so having the 150k spouse covered under a different plan could save money. There may be other benefits worth considering.

Also childcare at 40k is overpriced even for SF. All day preschool is 20-30k unless you're trying to get them into a super exclusive preschool as a status thing. Once they start real school you only need to cover after school care for 10-15k. So net take home would be more like 50-90k depending.

The problem with staging environments is that replicating the functionality is easy but replicating the data, interactions, and behavior of people in a real environment is not. It's better to think in terms of early access releases and some kind of controlled roll out of new software so you catch bugs and issues before they impact most of your users.

I've seen many projects where the staging environment is a bad joke and where most real testing happens in production anyway. These days alternative strategies are being more clever about how you work with rolling out software to your production environments. There are various ways of doing this but it always boils down to having both the old and the new software running in the same environments and controlling who gets to see what using feature flags, dns, routing, etc. Also, if you run any kind of AB tests, this is what you would need. I've seen some companies do that but mostly this is more of an aspirational thing than an actual thing of course.

For the SAAS company I'm a CTO of, I actually stumbled on a nice mechanism when I realized that our customers' desire for dedicated setups lead us to a natural state where we update those last, thus making our multi-tenant environment a natural place to test / provide early access. Likewise our webapp rolls out immediately from our master branch but we package it up for Android/IOS less frequently because of the release bureaucracy Apple and Google impose. So that branch effectively is our stable release. And we have a matching web server for that branch as well that updates only when we merge to our production branch. The other server uses the same infrastructure (database, redis, etc.) but updates straight from our master branch. So, our staging server is part of our production environment and serves the same data, is exposed to the same user behavior, etc.

That also makes it easier to verify that old and new client software needs to work with both our latest server as well as the production servers for our dedicated setup.

My take is that as a singer songwriter he can't stand the fact that Albini makes the drums and guitars as prominent as the vocals, and gives the vocals so much room ambience. I think it works fantastically on a rock album that's supposed to be dark and brooding anyway.

Well, this war has been won by the Americans, because IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) has adopted the historically-correct spelling "sulfur".

While some fancier British spellings at least correspond with spellings which were correct for English some time in the past, there are also many examples of pseudo-Greek spellings of Latin words, which insert the Greek sounds "y", "ph", "th" or "ch" in Latin words where they do not belong, as no such sounds have existed in Latin.

There is no justification for the pseudo-Greek words, so they must be avoided when possible, by using the correct Latin spelling. That is not always possible, because for many words the tradition of pseudo-Greek spelling is entrenched on both sides of the Atlantic, e.g. the words "stylus" and "style".
In addition to the sibling comment, this is particularly backdoorish as it can remain largely hidden until used as it doesn't need a new permanently listening local process, or modification of an existing process, to start the shell (BPF takes care of that) and it can run over existing ports on a system that would already be open on a firewall.

Milk would include other dairy than Airag, such as camel, sheep, yak and processed durable dairy, such as butter fat, dried curdles and cheeses. These store for long periods of time. Dairy in many forms indeed is a major source of calories in the traditional Mongolian diet that some rural people eat still today.

As far as I can remember, Airag is only produced during July and August. That would be pretty limiting. It also spoils pretty quickly. After a while in warm weather the smell is unbearable. People save the microbes for the the next run in the following year.

Julius Caesar refers to foraging in his "Gallic Wars". It wasn't easy because the Gauls would systematically destroy all food supplies in the vicinity of the Roman army ("scorched-earth policy"). I wonder what the local peasants thought about that. Do you think the Gaulish soldiers punished peasants who tried to hide their grain supplies rather than let them be destroyed? Bad times for the working peasant!

This is unsurprising. There are no good prospects — war, climate change, a divided society — in all of this: You, a teen with a digital mirror, that keeps you updated on how much more you seem to suck than all the others you have to compare yourself against. Your parents who constantly tell you your generation has to fix and/or safe the planet, while you wonder if you will even be able to fix and/or safe yourself.
Meanwhile even people who you see as adults have given up of ever being able to retiring, but you know it is quite definitly going to get worse for you.
Not so new, but if we price things soley on manufacturing costs Apple products should be a factor 2-3 cheaper while Windows and Office should cost, what, a Dollar max? Not to even think about luxury and brand name stuff. Manufacturing cost is only part of the price calculation, software just sits at one extreme end of the spectrum.

> There was a ban, but the US got around it by claiming they were upgrading existing one's or something like that. The key point being the agreement didnt mention anything about "upgrades" which is akin to building new nukes.
Given that we are talking about Uranium, and all the US stockpile uses Plutonium, I don't see how they would have used that for nukes.
As suggested by others, more probably they blended that with depleted Uranium and used as cheap fuel for reactors

In 1994 Russia was a complete mess and it did not even have a functioning secret service (KGB vanished into thin air and FSB was not created yet). Even if it wanted to interfere it couldn't. It spent time surrendering to separatists in Khasavurt.

The more interesting question than the 600 kilograms of Uranium is why Russia did not have a KGB-descendant and where all of the materials collected by the central Soviet KGB went.
Which is the cause, and which the effect? Was apple's incorrect autocorrect causing them to go to the wrong place initially, or did they autocorrect list get built from the incorrect attempts?
My observations, as an opinionated C programmer:

1. Missing const; always const all the things, especially pointers passed to functions. Semantically a "find" would be a read-only operation, to me it's a huge red flag if it's not const-declared.

2. Why NULL-check the array but not the name? I guess it doesn't affect functionality, or perhaps NULL is a valid name. Confusing without more context/commentary.

3. I prefer "++i" rather than "i++" in for loops like this because of reasons, but that's a rather minor point of course.

4. Be daring and use at least C99, move the "int i" to the for-loop's initializing part.

5. It's not obvious that the comparison doesn't need strcmp(), but might be clear from context, would expect comment to clarify that.

I agree with the top-down rewrite and find the revised code better, it's just not ... good enough yet. :)

Edit: list formatting.
I currently have this with a client. When I was the only backend developer, the staging server setup worked perfectly because it was basically the master branch + 1 or 2 queued changes. Now that other people have joined the mix it's become more of a nuisance.
Same. My dog sliced open the sleeve, and I was about to stitch a crappy fix myself until I saw their policy when googling. Got it back and looks good as new. I’m picky and I was fairly impressed.
> The reason why a real solid is not used is that the atoms or ions are too near one from the other in a solid, and their interactions modify the atomic resonance frequencies.

Why don't we use the frequency of a solid transition, then? I'm sure there are ways, like the Hartree-Fock method, to compute energy levels of atoms in a solid, maybe the accuracy is not good enough?

Part of train history in the Netherlands is the train disaster at Harmelen in 1962 where 93 people died. It spurred the installation of these systems. Every time there is even a minor accident with a train, the national governement is asking questions, up to the highest level. For contrast, every time a child dies in traffic, only the local government (gemeente) asks questions. It is considered completely unacceptable for a train accident to involve more than 2 deaths, it seems.

> "staging" environment for testing that is independent of everyone else

That's not usually what people mean by staging. Staging is a type of pre-production test environment where several different features that are continously developed by different teams can be tested together. Third party integrations such as logistics, ordering and payment systems can also have their integration testing here.

> Shared staging environments are really bad

That sounds dangerously close to "testing is hard, let's go shopping". That it can be a logistical challenge to test code that touches many parts of a multi stakeholder system does not mean we shouldn't do it.

Having to wait weeks to test a feature sounds like the process has broken down, not that the process is unnecessary.

My employer has (or had) one. They used it a couple of years ago when they sold some stuff to staff (old furniture etc).

The usual fraud risks don't really apply in this case. Other than that, it must be over 20 years since I saw my parents pay using one, and that was unusual enough that I remember it.
I think that's a bit of a leap from what I was saying. I didn't imply that all software and computation is bad. Obviously, a human cannot live handle any control system that needs even remotely fast operation. The point is that due to scaling issues, we're removing humans from systems where humans excel or could serve as backups in the event of failure (and actually vice versa).

Scale creates problems that are partially solved via software systems, which only handle a subset of the existing variety and new variety introduced by scaling. This makes the systems leaky with regards to unhandled variety and incredibly rigid (i.e., not robust) against exceptions, exceptions that could often be readily be handled by humans. By software being a snapshot of some small group of humans' knowledge of a system, it is completely unable to respond to live operational exceptions. Stafford Beer's work is interesting background on this type of thing.

> A much more efficient automation.

There are many, many examples where that is both not true and true. For the not true cases, just see literally any customer service interaction with a large company in the past half decade. I suppose this could be arguable though if one asks the question "efficient for who?".
I have some experience related to cash/registers/POS.

Card imprinters did exist in Europe (Italy) just fine, but they are not used since (at least) thirty years.

Most cards that are presented to the cash now have no embossed numbers (most people have the national payment circuit called Bancomat/Pagobancomat, sometimes coupled - on the same not-embossed card - with a Visa or Mastercard debit).

So in 99% of cases there is no way to "extract" money from cards without using the card reader and if electricity or landline/internet connection are down, it is a problem, though there are a number of battery powered and GSM/cellular connected POS/terminals that may give a few hours of autonomy.

Since several years sales to the public MUST be recorded on an electronic cash register[1], there is something like a "special emergency exception" where you can annotate manually on a paper registry sales, but as often happens the exact procedure is not largely known and I believe most people would not risk a (hefty) fine should they do any mistake in these cases and prefer to close the shop.

[1] which is BTW connected via internet to the Agenzia delle Entrate, the governement agency that deals with taxes, and data from the cash register is transmitted daily to them automatically, though there is a few days time tolerance in case of connection issues
