If you pick the least expensive option then you can expect some problems. Marriott Residence Inn hotels are located near most major US destinations, and can accommodate groups of 5 in a suite with a kitchen. This may be slightly more expensive than an AirBNB, but they won't randomly cancel your reservation and there are trained staff on the property to resolve issues.
ACC is their collision avoidance system, which isn't part of the EU mandate.
TFA only seems to have pictures of the one trash can.

These designs are all bad. The recycling space is uselessly small. The middle one won't accept an empty takeout container. The one on the right has moving parts that people need to touch to use. Most people don't want to touch a damned trashcan downtown, what are you even thinking?!

People are focused on the price, but that's the least of my concerns. All three prioritize form over function. But yeah, the bar & slat designs are needlessly many pieces that require a lot of damned work.
Zip is probably the best name we’re going to get in terms of concise meaning. Might as well reuse it, not like it will clash in the future.

Agreed. If it does stand, it will be in order to maintain ideological consistency, not judicial consistency. What a mess.
Strata was first Sir Terry book for me - I read it when I was teenager and was reading science fiction only. Imagine my suprise reading Colour of magic next, having strata in back of my head, waiting for the damn space ships to appear.

And they never did, not in a single discworld book I have read later in my life (dark side of moon aside coz its not part of the series).

Anyways ... I also recommend strata - the ideas on this book are so vivid and clever that they stay with You for the rest of your life (mechanical deamon with small wings using super fast teleportation as a way to implement flight always comes to my mind whenever I hack a solution with unexpected tools)
Yes I have. And I realized it as soon as I started experimenting that mind blowing results are mostly cherry picking.

It's very good at generating art style images. These kind of images are mostly amazing most of the times. But the Photorealistic images only work with cherry picking.

The one time this happened to me, the hotel gave me a $100 gift shop gift card and put me in a penthouse suite normally reserved for diplomats.

While there is much more cross-talk these days, and relying on the A-C distinction is (at least in the analytic camp) frowned upon, rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The problem is they don't want to call out the groomer/child rape gangs because they're all from the third world countries they mass import from. They cover it up because they don't want to stir up negative feelings about them because that would be racist. That's their police's words not mine. It's a nightmare world where they sacrifice their little girls to avoid "racism."
> If the original promise fails you're gonna return a cached failure.

In many cases, another near-in-time request would also fail, so returning a cached failure rather than failing separately is probably a good idea (if you need retry logic, you do it within the promise, and you still need only a single instance.)

(If you are in a system with async and parallel computation both available, you can also use this for expensive to compute pure functions of the key.)
Thanks for the recommendations! This is really helpful!

It's a shame they couldn't make it work out anyway. If the cost really was 5%-10% of a similar off-the-shelf cluster, even without the subsidy it would be, what, 10%-20%? That still seems like a steal.

And Sony gets to sell their gaming console as "US Airforce proven" or "a supercomputer in a box" or whatever marketing spin they want to put on it.

And it is only a couple thousand PS3s anyway, so it is a drop in the bucket.

I wonder if there was some behind the scenes stuff going on, maybe IBM worried or angry that this would devalue Cell processors somehow.
In my experience, high-quality educational content works much better than paid ads when targeting developers.

This is true, but it is localized and a one-time shock.

Portugal, Italy, Greece have had sub replacement fertility for 40 years already.

China, Japan, South Korea - urbanized, industrialized, economically growing countries.

The generally accepted causes are urbanization, reduced religion, education of women, which to re-enforce each other.
I have similar questions. There’s one person I frequently come into contact who… for a lack of a better explanation… doesn’t seem to understand other people have had a different life experience. I’m going to butcher explaining this.

Someone will talk about their experience doing some task and they’ll pop in (uninvited) to say things don’t work that way. Their way is the only way things are done… or perhaps should be done?

Talking to other people who know them, they’ve been doing this their entire life and can’t understand why this upsets people. No attempt has made to learn. They just walk away and come back to do the same thing. This has been happening for decades.

The my initial thought is: This is incredibly aggravating. At some point after many decades of extremely poor social interactions, isn’t it reasonable to assume someone would learn to accept their experiences aren’t the only ones?

My second is: is this just behavior neurotypical people do all the time and are just nice about it?

I find it difficult to understand. I’m not autistic, but on the surface I deal with a lot of the same problems.

From my own background, I deeply struggled with social interaction until I learned everything by rote memorization until I could form a logical model of human psychology. I know people the same way I know computer programs.

My mental model of humans does handle most autistic people I’ve met. If my model was off, I’d notice the inputs and outputs wouldn’t match. I can usually tell when people are faking things because they have a less complete mental model of humans. The gaps are pretty glaring to me.

But I can’t figure this person out. My model’s conclusion is this person is severely impaired in a way that affects how they form mental models. Or… they are capable of learning but would rather feel bad than change how they relate to people. Whatever the problem is, it doesn’t feel malicious. But whatever it is, it’s gone on for decades.

I don’t like assuming either of those.

Edit: I should note, they seem like a decent person and I’m inclined to believe they are. Their friends wouldn’t tolerant or defend someone with bad intentions.

Whats the vaccination rate for polio outside of this area? I suspect it's quite low, it's not in the standard vaccine series for most in the US to my knowledge due to low risk now. Outside of some older people and immigrants, I think many aren't vaccinated for polio.
It's not straightforward to me personally. Look at the photos on the Apple store, I don't even know what these laptops look like, let alone which one to pick.

My problems with Zig:

- the language ergonomics sucks

- syntax to play with arrays sucks (zeroing for example)

- lack of operator overloading for my math types

- too many repetition and casting, the compiler is not smart at all

- slow build speed

Things i love:

- build system, all in zig

- comptime

- module is basically a struct, so you can wrap your stuff in a file and import it as a struct, lovely

- the language remains simple enough to pickup, learn and to build any kind of software, it is enabler

Overall it's way too rigid, i miss the fluidity and liberty of C

It'll find its niche, it'll serve as good build system, but it definitely not a good contender for a C alternative

I couldn't care less about the illusion of memory safety with rust, chasing that language is a waste of time imo, and it's very dangerous, we'll see ton of new developers thinking their software is safe because the borrow checker didn't complain
This isn't a data structure technically but I find it clever: ZFS' space maps.

It keeps track of which space is allocated by logging every allocation and deallocation. When initializing an allocator, which can be implemented in any way, this log is replayed.

If the map becomes too big it is rewritten so it is equivalent to the old map but with no redundant entries.

It seems like the author is not aware of IDE annotation feature that allows one to inspect the latest commit that modified any line of code. Better commit message helps there for sure. I use this all the time, saves time not having to lookup the PR and piece together why something changed by manual inspection.

Better commit messages would be more helpful with PR review process if it was easier to review commit by commit which is possible but rather cumbersome.
You're being very defensive as if the person who started their comment with "fun fact" had instead started it with "you're an idiot doing wrong things" - nobody was criticising you, nor claiming they knew your frequency of use. They were sharing useful information on a public forum that, if not useful to you, would still be useful to other people who read your first comment.

As someone who has both cursed and blessed the names popping up in git blame as I’m trying to understand why something is the way it is; I cannot even begin to sympathize with this.

The author has a seemingly naive notion of the lifecycle code; commit messages matter a lot less if you have deep thorough documentation in the general case.

But obviously not all code is being written in those types of environments. In fact I’d venture the vast majority of commits have no associated code review thread.

Sometimes my little project I’m working on myself , which has no code reviews, eventually gets grows and has others involved; but the early history remains.
Wow, thanks for the story.

I agree that good k-factor emerges, but you can still fertilize the soil, pick a sunny location, etc to increase the odds. It's hard to do this with a finished game in hand. I really think you need a holistic approach so that your desired playstyle (in this case ppl sharing outcomes with one another) is encouraged intrinsically by the design.

So I would offer that as another solution. Congratulations to OP on shipping your first game and learning a ton. What would a sequel or spiritual successor look like? This thought exercise gives you the freedom to question mechanics you already shipped which may be holding back your other design goals.
The author ignores the possibility of writing a terse but just descriptive enough message that gives an idea of what the changes were, which I would call a "good" commit message.
I think the issue is that there is some overlap in performance between a fanless M2 and a fanned (is that a word?) M1.

Also, Apple doesn't exactly advertise the fan status of each laptop. Currently, only the MBPs have fans, but in the past MBAs had fans also. But most people don't know the fan status of Apple's lineup, so this isn't really part of their marketing messaging.

Yes, if you have H.Pylori it can cause all sorts of problems, acid reflux, bad breath, gastritis, ulcers, etc. I'm no doctor but I have been tested for this in the past; I think it was just a blood test, nothing invasive, and it's curable.

Better to get it sorted sooner than later. That GP visit can also be a good time to ask about all sorts of other small issues, and a blood test is a good idea at least every year or two. Ask about hormone levels, iron, vitamins, everything; for you it's just a lab visit.

I can't wait until it's possible to get these tests a few times a year and have all the values charted somewhere tied into the personal health ecosystem. Ironically, as someone interested in online privacy, I find the medical data the least concerning; I'm willing to let all of that go if it means I can get back some good answers or better healthcare. I can understand why some people aren't, of course, and they should always have the right to it; and it's good that this medical industry privacy situation is influencing other industries as well. But still! Imagine if some ML system with access to the data of a million people like me could show me exactly what I should stop eating, or exactly what supplement I need more of....

There doesn't seem to be much on Bill Barr so I'm not too sure where you've gotten that he's a constitutional lawyer as opposed to any other one [2].

The USA has been "falling apart" for centuries now, just look at its history. Race riots, oil shocks, stagflation, world war 2, pandemic, world 1, civil war, etc. The idea that anything happening now is "novel" is unfounded.

> 5 times as much gun deaths in the US a year than civilians died in the Ukraine war.

Yeah because Ukraine has like a 1/10 the people as the US. If we assume that there should be 1x as many gun deaths as civilians deaths then its actually good that its only 5x. However I'm pretty sure this is just not something you can compare in any meaningful matter.

People do track deaths in the Ukraine war (4889 as of July 4th [3]), Ukraine has a population of roughly 44 million, and its been 130 days (Feb 24 -> July 4) so that's a rate of 31.1 / 100k.
Every US state has a death rate below 31.1 / 100k [4].

Saw a headline day or two (?) ago saying that fbk was bringing back the old chronological feed.

I think that will help short and long term.

From what I've been seeing (in many other's use / dissatisfaction), the moderation / censoring / temp bans and such are more of the real threat to it's long term heavy use / not used much.. and I would not bet that that is going to change significantly any time.
I'm sorry but I cannot agree.

While there was excitement and fun, we objectively were doing a terrible job, and that felt terrible.

Rob and Chris were simply incompetent, and succeeded only despite themselves.
Haim at least knew his stuff, he was just unprofessional (screaming at Rob, etc.) (Edit to add: Rob was a great UX designer, all those beautiful layouts and pages were his work. He was incompetent as a CEO.)

Working there became so frustrating I was going to quit. (It's the only time I didn't quit a job that was obviously bullshit. I don't blame my girlfriend for convincing me to stay on, it was my choice, but i recognize that it was the wrong choice.)

We wasted so much investor money.

The thing that bothered me the most was that we used our users as the QA dept. Chris would push to prod, things would break, and he would scramble to fix them.
The users thought he was their hero fixing problems and didn't realize he was the one causing the problems in the first place!

And then, in the end, the whole thing was gobbled up by (I think) the Waltons? And now it's a caricature of what it aspired to be.

Despite the "success" of the company I see it as a cautionary tale.

My team writes good commit messages… I had to revert a giant feature due to unforeseen consequences. Because of this I didn’t have to diff anything, I selected the target commits, made a revert commit, and was done.

Write good commit messages, people can and do read them. When it matters, it matters a lot.

Solution: Define a VERY STRICT scope/tasks list and (short) deadline. If the deadline feels too short, reduce the scope instead of extending the deadline.

I had a host leave me high and dry at the last minute during a holiday on the Amalfi Coast once; we showed up to the property we'd booked for a week and found it occupied with family/friends of the host.

Yeah, so far those attempts are a joke from professional point of view.

They tend to try to talk to our hearts, handwaving what we would lose in salaries and work conditions from current European locations outside Portugal.

Sentimental and family reasons tend to speak much higher than those offers have done so far.

I would guess, the primary purpose is so they aren't damaged, but who knows.
