UK law is such complete ass. There is no getting around just how stupidly bad the Parliamentary Supremacy doctrine is. Parliament passed it so it is constitutional. There aren't enough insults in the world for the people who would think any of this qualifies as a good idea.
There’s a lot of different measurements of that are useful on different contexts.

PPP is the same adjustment as listing historic GDP in constant dollars. If you want to living standards you might want:

Per capita GDP (nominal), Per capita GDP in constant dollars, Nominal per capita GDP PPP (nominal), Per capita GDP PPP in constant dollars.

Per capital GDP PPP in constant dollars is the most useful for living standards but nominal numbers are more appropriate when looking at debt loads etc etc.
Regarding the second question, yes, as long as you can train a machine learning model to learn the semantics. The keyword if you want to look into this is Autoencoders.
What specifically are you referring to?

Do you mean like using `fp` for a file pointer or `fd` for a file descriptor? That is idiomatic, and I would consider calling them `filePointer` or `fileDescriptor` to be an obvious smell that the developer doesn't know what they're doing.
Kaizen does not aim to be neither radiation-hardened nor generic for all imaginable scenarios and use cases. Instead, inspired by the Japanese concept of Kaizen, emphasizing frequent and gradual improvement, this library builds on top of STL and aims to provide a malleable and growing set of practical, simple and well-tested tools through a single header file that, like a Swiss army knife, includes just enough of everything that can be useful for a broad range of C++ projects right off the bat.

So, for example, even though STL containers were not meant to be derived from (in particular, their destructors are not virtual), zen::string derives from std::string in order to quickly, without having to implement all the conversion operators and delegate functions that a composition-based approach would require, provide the ability to convert to and from std::string at any point in the codebase whenever there's need for the richer interface of working with strings that zen::string provides. Nevertheless, zen::string and similarly derived types in zen do have all the necessary restrictions in place to prevent such dynamic allocations just in case.

This approach is rooted in the philosophy that in the vast majority of cases and projects, the benefits from these utilities far outweigh any theoretical dangers of for some reason allocating zen::string itself dynamically and then deleting it through a pointer to base std::string, whether accidentally or on purpose. Any codebase is far more likely to experience problems and corrosion from the regular breed of bugs that are much easier to make accidentally.

What did they say was the crime? They had to suspect you did something. A probable cause. In the United States if you are suspected of cyber-terrorism they will just breach your WiFi/router and take the information without your knowledge. They will create zero days and exploit your devices. All under the terrorism statute. That’s why it’s best to never attach you iPhone to your home WiFi networks.

Well, my Cyrillic full name has only two realistic transliterations, but I have friends who have it much worse. Especially people who has a Cyrillic Ë somewhere in their name, because it could be spelled without the diacritic in Cyrillic itself, leading to different transliterations.

Luckily I live in Armenia now, which not only has its own alphabet, but also has a tradition of armenising Slavic patronyms! (Which is fair, I guess, as Armenian patronyms are commonly russified in Slavic countries.)

Anyway, the transliteration of Cyrillic at least is not really standardised in my experience. It used to be worse, with Polish, French and English styles, now it settled on English, but there are a still several sticking points which cause combinatoric explosion of variants. Not to mention that my perspective is centered on Russian, and there is a different standard of transliteration for Ukrainian at least (Kyiv and Kiev are Levenshtein 2 apart in Latin, but Levenshtein 1 apart in Cyrillic), and there is a ton of other Cyrillic languages.

It's been pointed out in the article's comments that the article is wrong. EBCDIC code pages 37 and 1047 each have support for all of Latin-1. The bank just doesn't want to support it. Furthermore, UTF-EBCDIC is a thing.

Here is a related article I read recently: https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2022/09/questions-to-ask-pro...
Indeed, specifically breed plays a large role, since it reflects what values are important for the owner. A fighting dog is a clear red flag, even a common German Shepherd will make a person look somewhat more threatening.

A Golden Retriever will on the other hand project friendliness. There are small dog breeds like Yorkshire which are rather aggressive, but in my perception they wouldn't increase the threat perception.

These are of course stereotypes, they won't be true every time, but are IMHO useful as a rule of thumb.
will drop an email, thanks :)

But town names are not unique to begin with.
> Either Jesus performed actual miracles, but then the Judas story doesn't make sense; or Jesus was an ordinary mortal, but then Christianity doesn't make sense.

The assumption here is that people will unconditionally believe and follow a person who performs miracles. But human beliefs and actions are more complex than that. People regularly refuse the evidence of their own senses, or that of knowledgeable authorities, if it contradicts their prior world view. They also regularly act contrary to better knowledge if they think it's in their interest.

So I think it's perfectly plausible that Judas experienced all of Jesus' miracles, but out of a mix of personal disappointment (Jesus not living up to Judas' expectations) and greed decided to betray him nevertheless.

breaking news: the harmful effects of sitting all day can be offset by not sitting all day.

How much did this study cost? I could have saved them some money.
Happens to me as well. My first, second and last names are quite short, five letters each. So my guess is that’s it’s related to that.

Maybe there’s simply the COBOL equivalent of the following somewhere:

if len(first) + len(second) + len(last) <= MAX_LEN_ON_TICKET:
first_name_on_ticket = first + second
Not sure if this is still the case or only some legacy stuff, but at least for a while chinese websites used numbers instead of names, China Railway for example uses 12306.cn as their domain name.
"People who sit for long periods more likely to die earlier – but moderate-to-vigorous activity can eliminate risk."

"Going for a brisk walk for just 22 minutes once a day may be enough to offset the negative health effects of sitting too much, research suggests."

Indeed, being active is natural and healthy. When will the next study show that being active is natural and healthy? I guess the recurrence of these articles can be the impetus for someone to break out of an inactive cycle, so commendable in that regard.
Love Christopher Alexander, excited to watch the lecture!
I know, I'm in Europe. And yes, public transport is an option but a lot of people still own and drive cars(just on my street every single house has at least 2 cars each, even though our public transport options are excellent).
Drawings, novels and films about Heroin may drive people to seek Heroin (which is illegal), so ban Trainspotting.

Last June, I was on my honeymoon in Tuscany, Italy, and had a delightful experience that highlighted how restaurants leave a lasting impression on us, not only for their food but also for the people. I was in the tiny medieval village of Monteriggioni [1] and used Google Maps to find the nearest restaurants. I discovered one with excellent reviews [2] and decided to have lunch there with my spouse to take a break from exploring. The service was exceptional, with a very friendly waiter who interacted with all the tables, especially the children, bringing smiles to our faces. The food was delicious, and the prices were more reasonable than in Florence, where we were staying.

During dessert, an American tourist woman approached our table. Interestingly, she had just entered the restaurant and was eager to ensure everyone was having a good time. She explained, 'You see, I first came to this fantastic restaurant 25 years ago, had a wonderful experience, and got to know the owner, whom the staff sadly told me had passed away last summer. Now, I'm back with my family to relive that journey.' She then greeted my wife and me and went on her way.

I then said to my spouse: "Let's make this trip back here and check this restaurant 25 years from now" ;)

It’s stupid in exactly the same way looking at historic US GDP inflation adjusted is stupid.

If you want to compare actual economic growth rates you want to remove currency fluctuations from your numbers.
The point is that they are getting updates, not because NASA paid 865 million in 1970s but because it is doing scientific work that no other spacecraft is able to do currently. If Voyager was orbiting around Earth it would get no updates at all, no matter how much NASA paid to get it into orbit.

So my point stands - if Voyager ran on an iPhone it would get those updates.

Agreed. You only need to convince a small fraction of the world population to have a real impact.
Same for me. I am Italian but I always used computers with English localization because translation was often bad, especially IBM translations.

So I got used to using US keyboards also, and never using accented letters even though they are frequently used in Italian, e.g. instead of writing "Mario è alto" (Mario is tall) I would write "Mario e' alto". It helped a lot that I worked for almost two decades for companies having only non Italian clients and all communications internal and external were in English.

Now that I am working for an Italian company with Italian clients, I am slowly getting used to Italian keyboards and accented letters.

Yes, that’s the claim Purism is using in their marketing but it’s predicated on the reader not checking the details and realizing that to the extent it was ever true, it was limited to a short period of time in 2017 between when the battery management behavior changed and when the UI warnings were added.

It’s also worth noting that multiple government investigations and lawsuits have failed to turn up any evidence supporting the conspiratorial claims about forced updates.

I know that Purism’s marketing strategy has to be convincing you to buy a product which is inferior on many counts but I think it’s a mistake to do things like this attacking their competitors because the “free is better” framing is fundamentally about trust. If they’re dishonest about something we can easily assess, how much can we trust the claims they’re making about things which are much harder to prove?
I'm aware of that, thank you, but I don't like it either. The magic for me is lost.
the issue is normalization in a polarized society, with rising addiction rates and emerging long-term consequences of a diverse range of meds n stuff, psychedelics entering the mass-markets all while air-, water- and food-quality is declining and one crisis hitting the next with corporations exploiting them all for massive gains that give the pervs in top 13 % the feeling that they are superior and can fuck any child any way they want.

a lot of brains are changing in strange ways. health issues due to consequences of climate change are rising silently and everybody knows whose fault it is. almost nothing was done for mitigation. abusers, murderers, torturers, rapists and the likes all feel the same superiority as the wealthy do making the wealthy abusers, pedophiles and so on even worse, especially in times where almost anything can be justified based on the arguments of corporate and political leadership.
The key finding:

"Waymo’s driverless vehicles, which currently operate in San Francisco and Phoenix, experienced 76% fewer accidents involving property damage compared to human-driven cars, according to the study. For every million miles traveled, human drivers filed 3.26 property damage claims compared to 0.78 for Waymo's driverless cars."
This comment turned me into a junkie
That’s really interesting to learn, thanks.

If it were up to me, I’d recommend keeping it with a flag that notes it as closed, rather than deleting it. (Just as you can mark a row in a database as deleted and not physically delete it). I know it’s not that simple. :)

I’ve seen cases on Google Maps where a previously bookmarked restaurant, after having closed, will completely disappear there. It used to be that bookmarks of closed places would still work for some time - you could still read the reviews and see the photos.

But now, I’m finding more and more of these bookmarks just pointing to a lat,lng point. True digital rot/loss. It’s really sad when that happens - that was one of the impetuses for creating this site.
you haven't been in china long enough. i have had a few situations where the system was unable to write my name in latin characters. i even had to get a notarized transliteration of my name into chinese so that the resulting chinese version could be used on some official documents.
No for sure, that’s a very necessary feature. I’ll be adding it today.

For now, you can email info@restaurants.rip

Thanks a lot!
Funny, I edited out the line about Le Select and Bar Italia:)
Can you link an analysis for that where small cores have more perf-per-watt then a clocked down big core?

From what I understand the transistors aren't mostly for enabling the higher clock speed at all, they allow for wider cores that do more per cycle. It doesn't seem clear at all that they would be less efficient than a narrower design that does less per cycle, if clocked much lower to yield the same final performance per cycle.
Not sure why this needs to be distributed as a Python package, all it's doing is making a GET request to http://api.subdomain.center/?domain={domain}. It's also missing requests as a dependency, so you'll need to install that separately.

A simple curl one-liner would've sufficed, surely?

I can tell you from personal experience that if you have four names it will turn "First Second Third Last" into "Firstsecondthird Last" (I usually fly Delta).

This is particularly true in statically typed languages that require a type declaration. Here’s some go:

func copy(f *os.File) { … }

I think f is more than clear enough as a parameter name. The same can be said of variables where the type is easily inferred from the declaration or initialization.
The other "Windows Forms" should probably be in there somewhere... a COM wrapper used by Visual Basic (and other languages, but mostly VB). From 1991 (VB1) to 1998 (VB6)... out of support since 2008, but still faily widely used in legacy applications.
If your road doesn’t have a bus line then that’s a problem not an inherent limitation.

Ideally you want a grid where bus lines are near intersections so going from North to East means crossing 1 street so you can go anywhere with 2 waits and a street crossing.
The fire service changed significantly once life and health insurance companies started calculating how expensive it was to insure fire fighters.

It turned out that being a fire fighter was extremely dangerous, so insurance premiums were costing more than equipment! Underwriters Laboratories started producing literature on how to make fire fighting safer, and now NFPA has turned that into strict guidelines that fire companies must follow or lose out on insurance claims.

For example, fire fighters now must ride inside the cab. No more hanging on the back (falling off the back was very common, causing many severe injuries). Seatbelts must be worn inside the cab. An SCBA must be worn inside any dangerous atmosphere. Turn out gear must be inspected after every burn, and replaced every ten years. The list goes on.

Finally, there is now a whole new branch of study called "fire dynamics" that is all about the science of fire fighting. UL regularly performs experiments at my local academy to test various techniques on different types of building fires. They will instrument a whole building, then start a fire a certain way, and measure what happens with different techniques. In just the last ten years they've changed a lot of former "best practices". For example, they now recommend what they call a "transitional attack" where you shoot in a few seconds of water through a window from the outside, then make entry. This is proven to greatly reduce heat in the building and allows for a better chance to put out the fire vs just running straight in. This has been a huge upset in my area, with a lot of the older folks thinking we should just always make entry ASAP. However, it is proven time and again that transitional attack is optimal in most situations. The few seconds "wasted" is proven to actually make fighting the fire safer and more effective. It is counterintuitive, but it works.

All this because insurance was accurately calculating how dangerous fire fighting really is.

Of course, there is a flip side to everything. A lot of the "fun" of fire fighting is now turning into "rules". Hanging on the back used to be an exciting reward for showing up even if it was a false alarm. Breaking all the windows at a house used to be a fun thing to do before UL found that it makes a fire significantly more dangerous. As the profession matures, we're faced with less personal agency and more checklists and paperwork. This is destroying volunteer fire fighting. Most of the US is served by volunteer fire fighters. As it becomes much harder to keep up with the rules and paperwork, volunteerism is dying. Many companies across the nation are on the verge of collapse because no one wants to volunteer. Between the rules and the cost of living crisis, almost no one has energy to show up.

So nothing comes for free, insurance made fire fighting much safer, but now it's much harder for volunteers, which are the majority of the fire service.
You should realize that the second part of your claim is just a postmodernist mantra (written to sound fine, links to reality skipped). In observable world one needs better economy to contribute more time to not-for-profit activities. While each, and every attempt to destroy evolutional capitalism to replace it with revolutional whatever "non-gready" model consistently lead to notable worsening of economy.

It is not clear whether airlines hold travellers hostage to spelling sorrows and miseries, or the airlines are being held hostage to the spelling sorrows and miseries by travel reservation systems.

The airlines get their data feeds from the travel reservation systems – the ones we (or the travel agent) interface with via the airline website or a dedicated web portal. There are two major global ones, Amadeus and SABRE (there are other ones as well). I do not know how any of them interconnect, though.

There have been numerous attempts to modernise both (including rewrites from scratch), and all the attempts have failed so far due to the complexity of the logic: calculating the most optimal travel time for connecting flights in a multi-leg trip is, like, very hard, apparently + applying a correct airfare prices based on the selected itinerary and a myriad of other variables. Subsequently, there has been the decades' worth of growth of the said logic – there was an epic story on here some years back about one such endeavour (I think it was an Amadeus rewrite).

From what I remember, the character encoding was not even considered to be a problem in that endeavour – as in «acknowledged, is trivial to solve, now let's move on onto the actual problems».
Apple added instructions and a whole storage mode (ie. TSO) to make emulating x86 faster. Has Qualcomm done something similar?
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. No one is going to be happy if you’re upgrading your system to allow diacritics in the name and suddenly all their money disappears. There’s a reason they use COBOL so much and that is because they haven’t needed to replace it. Replacing it just because it’s old just seems like chasing the new ideas for the sake of it.
If half of them are bad and dangerous, I am talking about bad drivers, regardless of the number.
