To be fair 5 officers died not long after the attack. Brian Sidnick was pepper sprayed twice and died a day later suffering two strokes. Howard Liebengood and Jeffrey Smith died by suicide a few days after the attack, and Kyle DeFreytag and Gunther Hashida died by suicide a few months later.

A popular Facebook post claimed that Joe Biden said that several police officers died during the attack, which could be the source of the lie.

That’s cool they switched CS61C to RISC-V.. we did a MIPS CPU (although maybe they are similar now?)
Yeah okay, I get that and not going to have an argument over it, just the phrasing from Reason rubbed me wrong.

Ah! Thanks for the heads up!

I mean... not yet - only his biggest fans are aware of the ever-imminent return to the forefront of pop culture, duh.
Well, we knew there had to be a reason there was all this React code out there that doesn't abide by reasonable standards. I'd really be interested to hear why anyone prefers working with slow-to-recompile, globally-scoped CSS, or why people feel the urge to mix view and controller code. Can't you just have one component for view, and one component to handle state?
I'm probably one of the oldest people on here. Certainly I'm far older than the "kids these days with their beeping pinging phones, how can they stand it" demographic.
Still not an option on the platform in the article, though. You'd have to make your own pop count and implement it likely with a loop and bit shifting. It's almost certainly going to take more instructions than this and end up with as many branches as a result. The instruction set is very limited. Though quoting myself:

>> On an instruction set with that [pop count], I imagine it would be a useful trick though.
It’s more comfortable to be on a train than a flight and people are happy taking ten hour plus flights no problem.
Not sure how old the number is. I have gotten calls asking for someone else, but I assume it is just a wrong number kinda situation. There are 3 different birthdays associated with the number, 1 ssn, and 6 names.
I just picked up a 13 mini and this is what would push me over the edge to return it. I keep having to take my sunglasses off to make it recognise me.

If a 14 mini came out with Touch ID I’d be all over it, but for now I think I’m going back to the SE.
There have been filesystems that don’t use strict block sizes - Reiser4 IIRC. It’s not done often because the savings are tiny and it complicates implementation a lot.

A bigger problem I can see is that Unix file system semantics is… hairy; see rename(2) atomicity guarantees for example. So it could make sense to replace it not with a typical filesystem, but something more RESTful.
Not sure if this applies to houses built in the 70s and 80s, but I've heard that Chinese-Canadians have a strong preference for stucco over other forms of siding because it's perceived as being more durable.
But artillery is already more than capable of killing tanks. Terminal guidance for artillery shells is likely to make more of a difference.

On the other hand drones appear to be excellent for directing artillery and general reconnaissance.
In that context, does it not make more sense to rent the infrastructure instead of host in-house? Or, use commodity hardware that does not have all the redundancy and resiliency baked in at the hardware level - after all, it's completely unnecessary for short-lived services.

We have solutions for these scenarios already - VM's, Serverless, Containers, etc. I am having a really difficult time understanding the scenario where someone must use a "proper" server with all the long-runtime, redundant, resilient hardware configuration but needs it to turn on and off quickly.

Round hole, square peg. There are much better solutions available, starting with commodity hardware and ending with "the cloud".
We had these things called "phones", which were attached to the wall with a bit of wire, and made a loud chiming sound when someone wanted to talk to you. They didn't have a "Do Not Disturb" mode as such, but typically if you wanted to use it to talk to someone you would do so if it was important.
Also called sneaker proxies. Why? Used to bypass restrictions or limits on buying sneakers/shoes online.

I agree this is a very complex matter to consider but I dwell on the parts where he emphasizes the degree to which his own "default thinking mode" was like everyone else's, any you can choose to either suffer it or manage it.
Start making raw edits directly to an ext4 disk rather than using published libs/APIs, and you'll soon find some new horrors to be scared about.
this is very cool, but I believe this bit of the README is incorrect:

Text-based diff tools such as git diff, when applied to a code base, have certain limitations. First, they can only detect insertions and deletions, not movements or updates of individual pieces of code.

git diff can detect movements. looking at my .gitconfig, I think it's the "frag = magenta" line.

Microsoft didn't even intend to use it for long. developers discovered apis for it and started using it despite it being unsupported at the time.

Microsoft's extreme backwards compatibility decisions have kept it around since then, and now since it is still supported, it is still used.

the registry was first intended to be an internal implementation detail while something better was designed. us hackers ruined that plan, but we're still happy to blame Microsoft for their compatibility promises and our own misuse of the registry.
Interestingly, people were predicting[0] in 2018 that the robotic equivalent of this task would be solved by 2023:

The problem is that Optane wasn't better than the other NV-DIMMs that came to market. It's easy enough to build an NV-DIMM based on DRAM with some buffers that dumps to flash when the power fails, which ends up being cheaper and easier than Optane memory based DIMMs due to the required error correction and wear leveling.

It is quite likely that persistent memory will make its way into general purpose computers in the future, as the difficulty in scaling DRAM increases as cell sizes decrease. Capacitors can only be made so small before they don't store enough charge to overcome thermal noise. In theory Optane was supposed to be better at smaller feature sizes, but it never got to that point. We'll have to see if MRAM or NRAM can make it in the coming years.
I think it's misleading to say that "men can't have babies" is taboo. What you're actually referring to is a semantic argument about gender identity, and the one-sentence version just omits that context so it can "look" objectively true.
Well, you don't need the GC. That is the point of this: Rc could be piece-meal. That is something that could be exploited very well making a interpreter, for example (that is what Array langs do under the hood)
Maybe your success, and all the repliers', is simply a matter of getting life served on a silver plate e.g. everybody going to university comp science, good backgrounds, getting very good jobs. Of course you can't live with that privilege and have to build a story of being the victim of society.

That sounds awfully totalitarian.
You’re thinking of “Midwest Micro” from Fletcher, OH. It was a pretty big white box PC reseller located, literally, in the middle of farm fields in rural Ohio. (Have a lot of friends who “did their time” starting out in IT work there— in support, production, or admin roles.)

The founder sold out and eventually the business was owned by the same company who owned Tiger Direct.
I'm not saying the UNIX philosophy is the "best" way, I'm just stating why it's valuable.

Of course most people don't care about those things, but as a developer, the main issue I see with Windows and macOS, is that they build specialized interfaces that lock you into certain ways of doing things, which may be convenient, but are difficult to migrate away from, and a pain to automate and reproduce.

I really value that the UNIX philosophy is geared more towards building simple tools that are designed to be combined with other simple tools to solve a more complex problem, and that it doesn't try to lock you into using any particular tool to solve a problem.

So no, I may not provide binaries for Windows & Mac for personal projects, but I'm not going to be openly hostile towards people who want to build things from source or contribute fixes for Windows & macOS.
What would you say is the root of your misanthropy? Very curious to hear more.
Like I said, it's a data point. I don't think it fundamentally deanonymizes the number (not that it's even anonymous to begin with). Instead, it:

* Confirms that a number is a live subscriber;

* If there are N possible identities tied to the number, it strongly suggests that the most recent one is the "current" one;

* Links my phone number to a browser session, which provides further information.

Edit: It also fundamentally turns a passive source of information (a DB of phone numbers, of unknown quality) into an active one (people are actively confirming that some of these numbers are real and currently subscribed).

It does seem a little ridiculous/embarrassing to rush to Wikipedia to change the definition just to try to not have it be named... the current page looks ok. If the NEBR truly defines recession in the US, then technically I guess its there call. That said the battle over where two down quarters == recession is just ridiculous... yea, that's pretty much always been the definition or idea. US politics shouldn't supersede that.
Whoa.

I’m assuming our solar system has moved through various interstellar mediums throughout history, and from reading above it sounds non-trivial. Is it? Do we know anything about how this may have influenced the development of Earth?

>Now, I'm starting to look for my next gig. I imagine prospective employers will want to talk to my previous CTO as a job reference. That will not go well.

Not necessarily.Tell the truth, the whole truth. If they want contact him, you could get a decent/neutral reference, or if it's bad at least the recruiter knows what to expect, and can try to see if it ads up with what you said.

I rarely needed to give references for a job anyway. you can definitely get a job without any kind of reference check if the interviews went well and they like you
I work for a company whose product requires periodically removing trash from rivers and reservoirs. When the rent-an-e-scooter places came to my town I was absolutely sure that we would end up dredging these things out of the river by the dozens. Strangely, not many ended up in there. I haven't used one so I'm not sure how they prevent it but whatever they do is startlingly effective.
It's an absolute sham and Microsoft is using their market dominance to give us a worse product for more money.

I would love to see someone start a Windows app store that's based on domain validated code signing. Domains are better trust indicators than business names IMO.
it was a very common approach at the time.
It's about 100% more likely that it's going lead to every company that chafes under Apple's current "you have to ask permission before you can do that" rules to begin to only offer their apps outside the App Store.

Remember the original Android permission model of "an app gets every permission it wants or you can't install it"? That's where this is heading.

Thanks for this, it gave me a laugh. There's something beautiful about how we see the first few things we create. We think everyone will love them as much as we do. I remember my first game made in Visual Basic- it was this close to being a hit- just missing some better graphics, and better code, and actual fun gameplay.

Commuter rail expansion and operations is the primary capital consumption area now, and there are more than a few such local / regional rail systems that could use several billion dollars each, on a continuing basis, for equipment, roadbed and station expansion.

The herd mentality and evidence-free nature of this "scandal" is a microcosm of 90% of the beliefs of US citizens and corporate "news" in general.
The South West is er not at all 'North of London' though, last I was there (where I was 'born and raised').

We also don't really have any of the major cities I meant in that context, Bristol I suppose. How do you get from Bournemouth to Bristol for example - via Dorchester with a station change? How about Southampton to Exeter - via Bristol? It's by no means the worst region, and I claimed the opposite, but it still suffers in the same way (albeit on a smaller scale) really, NW-SE rather than W-E in the North, in both cases its opposing the 'spokes' into London.
Technically yes by the Jones Act, in a very limited sense... there are restrictions as well as tax exemptions.

So I wouldn't really consider citizens of US territories full US citizens.

So maybe it's more appropriate to say they aren't Americans, but they are US citizens.

But that is all semantics. My main point was the reason they don't have US representation is they don't have US taxation.
Well your text will not work anywhere, you might as well not provide one. Instead your text mentions things like "laws of physics" which are totally irrelevant to the matter at hand, and reads like you just want to make fun of licenses/the law, so even more reason it will not achieve what you want.
It sounds like you envision a world of many different walled gardens, instead of the single Apple-policed walled garden.

Good luck!
> It's actually the same for me,

Same anxiety here, even though I'm in my early 40s.

In my case though is not the fault of my parents, but of the general socio-economic conditions back in my adolescence years (the '90s were hell for some of us in Eastern Europe) that saw my family move from middle-class status to almost destitute in just 2-3 years. My dad actually felt (probably still feels) pretty guilty about it all, even though it was not his fault, the socio-economic forces in play were just too great. I just hope I won't pass the same feeling of financial insecurity to my kid(s).
Children and addiction are your two problems with the App Store? How exactly do think a third-party free-for-all set of app stores is going to do better?
Then no, it's not like an "expensive version of the border crossings between India & Pakistan."

The late singer Mark Lanegan (Queens of Stone Age, Screaming Trees) talked about dumping bikes in the river in his memoir "Sing Backwards and Weep." He was a small town hellion who didn't give a FF about authority or other people's needs or feelings, and would steal bikes from the local community college at will. Once he got home or arrived at some other destination, he would toss the bikes in the river or nearest irrigation canal without a second thought.

ETA: The memoir is brutal. He did not romanticize any aspect of being part of the '90s Seattle scene, and talks about being a strung-out junkie in a way that no other rock star ever does. He deeply regrets not being there for his friend Kurt Cobain, who reached out multiple times before he took his life in 1994. Courtney Love not only forgave him, but saved Lanegan's life when he hit rock bottom in the late 90s. It's a very powerful book.

The freight companies own the railway, they optimize the rails for freight, which is why we move much more freight by train than Europe. Passenger service is something they do for the federal government subsidy and nothing more.

And actually, sharing tracks between passenger and freight service is something that they don't really do in Europe. Because they share tracks, American passenger trains have to build at a weight on part with freight trains. Most lines in Europe separate out passenger and freight service lines so they can run lighter trains for passenger service.
> At a certain point carrying so much cash just gets very risky.

Why should I not be allowed to take that risk?

it seems perfect for automation. just a box retrieval system. all that the bank should add is physical security.

that said, banks are providing the usual shady upsell shit (loans, mortgages, credit cards, "premium" services) and that market is already pretty competitive, but basically it's not "free" because the costs of the labor intensive internal workings of these non-slim companies (plus regulatory compliance)
But why should the state get to decide that for the citizen? The citizen should decide for themselves what they feel is too risky.

> I don't understand all the talk about performance - programs should be reading config once on start up and that's it.

non-microsoft programs were not intended to use it when it was designed. the performance considerations are for windows itself.

Microsoft's guidance has always been for third party applications to manage their own configuration in whatever way they choose, so long as it isn't the registry.

developers ignore that, use the registry, and blame Microsoft for keeping the registry around even though Microsoft promises to do everything they can to keep things backwards compatible.
