I think it syncs very well to the point that it is so hard to believe it's a coincidence - there are so many points where it lines up. It is NOT a soundtrack for the movie. It does not have the same themes as the movie.

> And with an exponent bias which isn't part of what anyone learns as basic scientific notation.

Luckily, you don't need to understand the exponent bias to understand floating point. All you need to know is that you have for instance 23 bits of mantissa (plus the implicit one), an exponent with range from -126 to +127 (plus the special values -127 and +128), and a sign bit. The exact details of how the exponent is encoded in the 8 bits reserved to it are only important when you're playing tricks with the floating point representation (other than "all zero bits is +0.0", which is often important when zeroing a struct with memset).
The merging and the lane etiquette are the two biggest for me, though I do a lot more driving now than a few years ago. People going below the speed limit in the leftmost lanes regularly back up the freeway since no one can pass. Also is way more dangerous since some weave in the middle lanes (or right) to make the pass.
My dad did the following when I was growing up:

At 5yo, he threatened to take me to the sheriff's and adopt me out because I was "horrible".

Was told constantly to "man up", and ignore any sort of emotions I was having.

He also beat me. Naturally, that was perfectly acceptable in the 80's, even in public. Instead, it was called "spanking".

He would buy toys, then take them away to take a hammer to them, or otherwise destroy them in front of me.

Told me that I'd never amount to anything and that I should just join the military cause thats where stupid people go.

Anything bad that happened to me was always my fault. Didn't matter what it was. My fault.

It also didn't work out that my mother was/is an enabler and a narcissist (and, well, abused by him too).

I don't care what people call this. Patriarchy, etc. Those're just labels. But did they hurt me until I figured out how to undo the damage of childhood? Damn straight they did. And I wont perpetuate these abuses on any other.

And I've met people like you, motohagiography , that defend these sorts of abuses as the general mantra "man up". I find defending obvious assaults and child abuses to be disgusting.

And, well, burying my dad did finally put a nail in that coffin, so to speak.
May be, but it was used as a security mechanism in my high school so that we couldn't use our computers nor in designated time.
IIRC police enforcement of traffic laws is at an all time low. That might be a huge factor into why this happens.
That is our experience with Microsoft as well. We have submitted two separate email related vulnerabilities with O365, one if which we would consider rather serious. We took our time to create a detailed report, with steps to reproduce, etc.

For both you hear nothing for about 10 weeks, then it is either closed as "expired", or "won't fix".

Last time I checked, both vulnerabilities still exist.

same re: runner+kids. It's insane. I watch people blatantly blow through red lights on a daily basis. Someone once grabbed my mother-in-law and pulled her back because she walked when the signal said walk and she would have been hit.

Sad.
So much negativity in this thread. I, for one, absolutely loved working with ObjC. I no longer do any macOS programming, but when I did, it was magical.

Is the syntax weird and crazy? No doubt. It is, however, an extremely pragmatic approach. It's completely unique in that it offers a dynamic, very-high-level OO language on top of C, giving you a way to work on both levels. C (or C++) for the performance-sensitive parts and integration with C libraries, and ObjC for the glue that orchestrates the application. ObjC isn't without its faults, and if was starting to show its age, so it makes sense for Apple to develop Swift, though between the two languages, I think ObjC is the more innovative one.

It's a lot like having a scripting language around a C core, though ObjC has stronger static typing. Dynamic dispatch, late binding, and interfaces (protocols) results in a super rich, dynamic ecosystem of objects all interacting with each other, fulfilling the promise of Smalltalk better — in the sense of being the basis for real, mainstream products, including macOS itself — than any implementation of Smalltalk ever did.

If you don't dig the teleporter question, nor the soul question, because they are just hypotheticals. And "If things were different, you'd act different!" Is off limits because it is just a 'gatcha'.

Then how do you think about any issues that don't have pre-determined iron-clad answers. If thinking through un-known situations is not allowed, how would people come up with anything new?

I'm really not seeing how these long standing philosophical questions (look them up, they have been around for a long time), are some how not valid for 'serious philosophical discussion', because you personally don't believe them.

The concept of continuity of self and what constitute a self, and is it a soul or not, has been part of philosophical and scientific debate for centuries.

I don't believe in a soul either, but it's foolish to dismiss most of the world that does believe, or dismiss a questionnaire that includes some aspect of what most of the world believes.

This sounds like it should have been pre-faced with "this questioner is not a safe space for those that can't think in hypotheticals from other points of view"
Free has never meant monetarily free. Open-source means you can recompile, and thus maintain after the EOL of the provider, and code secrets aren’t secret. This is already a step above proprietary software.

For example: Wordpress themes are OSS. You must pay the gatekeeper, but you can inspect the code.

But free lunch is something else. Which OSS developers can also require, I’m not discussing that.
I was trying to read it, without being at all comfortable with the language. But I have also tried and failed multiple times to accept it by e.g. doing Clojure before that. So I wasn't entirely new to the syntax when I tried to read the book.
Yeah, I'm hopeful the five year support window for Debian LTS releases now will help drive that migration. I suspect though the lowest-effort path for migrating from one commercial vendor to another will be towards Canonical, given Ubuntu's LTS releases and existing infrastructure around commercial support / certified hardware compatibility lists / etc. I may not be a huge fan of some of their decisions over the years but as my objections have tended to be technical rather than business/contractual/ethical I think they'd be nicer to deal with than IBM or Oracle, heh. :)

Actually, it took a long time to get to Unicode. Computers started with 7-but character encodings (and many rivals, including EBCDIC).

Thankfully, text processing became pretty critical so they formed ASCII, when they went from 7-bit encodings to 8-bit encodings things improved, but then committees realised Latin dialects together had more than 255 characters… hence for some time we were all in code page hell. That’s why you got ISO-8599 - the most famous of which is ISO-8599-1. The genius of Unicode was they took all this junk and mapper into character planes, with ISO-8599-1 plastered into the BMP.

I went into it in detail years ago: http://randomtechnicalstuff.blogspot.com/2009/05/unicode-and...

I don’t agree. “Sensitive men” are acutely aware of the behavior of “toxic masculinity men”. It’s not a behavior that exclusively affects women. It affects everyone. I can’t say I’ve ever felt threatened by this concept as a guy.

Semantics get messy and people can use terms however they want but the basic to me feels obvious and just. It is no surprise that such men don’t have their emotional needs met. But there are layers upon layers of issues that create this circumstance.
I was so confused when one day at a gas station in Vegas a group of college aged girls flagged me over and asked if I could help them fill their car. They never had before as they were from Jersey and couldnt figure out how to open the gas door. I mean in all honesty it was a push door style where you pushed and it popped open so thats a little tricky but I was amused i still had to walk them through the entire process.

In the handful jurisdictions where I am familiar with zoning laws and the permitting process, low cost and low effort is not how I would describe any part of even a straightforward approval.

Lord help you if you need a variance, and I cannot even imagine what eminent domain on that scale would look like. I do not see how the change would even be possible without tearing buildings down and building new ones closer to each other, and to do it legislatively adds unimaginable legal expenses, I presume.

Edit: Also note the popular local opinion in many places is keeping a place car dependent means the population who cannot afford a car is kept out.
There are, but it depends on where you are or the type. For instance, out in rural Oregon there are a few stations where you can pump your own gas. Also some commercial stations allow you to pump your own gas.

Briefly during the pandemic, people could pump their own gas.

As an Oregonian, I welcome the change. The change will mostly mean not waiting for an attendant to come over.
How much energy are you going to expend to do that - and do things like separate the ammonia from the water?

It's not "it can't be done." It's a "it gets prohibitively expensive on a limited energy budget."

Note that you're going to be left with things like anhydrous ammonia when you're done. That is more difficult to work with than concentrated ammonia in solution. In a sealed environment, this becomes even more of a concern.
"Social distancing" was a well-defined technical term that every epidemiologist understood. When the pandemic hit and the term went mainstream, epidemiologists quickly learned that lay people were misunderstanding, no matter how many times they explained it.

So the preferred term among epidemiologists is now "physical distancing".

Sometimes when people just keep getting the wrong idea, regardless of the dictionary definition, it's worth changing terminology.
The interesting bit is yet to come. Show me the YouTube compilation of Oregon drivers using a fuel pump for the very first time. I bet you 90% will be issues with payment and not the physical act of refueling the tank.

I'm sure you are correct. But as with any religion it's the general abstract idea, not the specifics (which in an objective view, are mostly myth and fable) that is important.

In this case the idea of a downtrodden oppressed people who seek righteous living and a liberator and protector and a possible better future ahead.

I'm a big reggae fan and recall during certain periods of life how much it spoke to me when I felt oppressed and was trying to do right in life, but was abused by systems of greed and evil materialism but I had to keep on trudging ahead.

Think that through for a second.

The Oregon legislature only meets for 6 months in odd numbered years and a month and a half in even years.

In that time they barely have time to address pressing issues of the day, do we really need them to be rubber stamping a bunch of laws for weeks every time?

It’s a terrible idea.
Seems obvious to me: Power is opposite Volume on Samsung Android phones, but not on Pixel. Easy to hit both buttons at once, and iPhone may do something special to detect that.

> The older the better.

But remember to use the right tool for the right job - older isn't always better. E.g. there is a set of people who use stored procedures for everything and it does make sense when you are doing data-heavy processing on database-side. But using that for everything, even when the volume is absurdly low, is a bad idea - using a language like Java would be a million time more flexible, composable, testable (unit tests, anyone?) and allow making changes with greater confidence.

> Indeed, for imperial units, this would have made a ton of sense?

No. The number of ratios to 16 units is 2 to a few dozens.

You have 12in to a foot, 3 ft to a yard, 1760 yd to a mile (because 80 chains or 22 yards).

A nautical mile is 10 cables, of 100 fathoms each.

640 acres to a square mile.

20 fl oz to a pint, 2 pt to a quart, 4 qt to a gallon (8 pt to a gal, 160 oz to a gal).

There's 16 drachm to an ounce and 16 oz to a pound. Sadly there's then 14 pounds to a stone, 8 st to a hundredweight unless you have abandoned stones and have 100-lb hundredweight because customary units are dumb, which then gives you a different ton of 20 cwt depending on, well, your cwt.
