Partly conditional avoidance of referring to her in a possessive manner, but mostly just subtle figure of speech when attempting to convey myself as being in a position of otherwise harmless (and often convenient) deference, perhaps influenced by an upbringing in a culture with strong matriarchal values.

The Dept. of Homeland Security (of which the TSA is part) is central in most increases in federal power since 2001. The government will certainly chose to back the option which give them more power in an even case. But this case is stacked because of the powerful corporations and lobbies that are protecting their moats.

Smartphones DO NOT implement capability based security, they implement permission flags, which suck, and only confuse the issue.
Of course it's possible to create a more sophisticated system with less possibility for user error.
Most similar has some hilarious pitfalls too though. I saw a talk by someone who worked on the google play music, or whatever it's called these days, recommendation system and his canonical example was a pure similarity metric would recommend the all-women band "Lez Zepplin" to fans of Led Zeppelin.

I think the phrase ", say #3," confuses people. Taking it out removes the ambiguity:

So he always shows a goat. If he opened the door with the car then the game would be ruined.

Really, it's a form factor limitation.

As others have pointed out, you can't fit enough memory bandwidth though the AM5 socket to feed a powerful iGPU.

Fixing this problem kind of requires abandoning the current desktop form factor and switching to a unified module with both the CPU and soldered-on memory. Though at that point, the motherboard is doing little more than power regulation and breaking out all the IO to various ports.

At that point, does it still count as a desktop form factor?
>They considered themselves Roman up until Constantinople fell to Mehmed II.

Not as much, especially after the first 4 centuries. They claimed a different heritage then (the local one).

Besides the western barbarians that took down Rome proper also called themselves Roman ("the Holy Roman empire") for "legitimacy" purposes (as a claim to the expanses of the empire). The same reason Mohamed the conqueror adopted the "Ceasar of Rome" title.
Can be overwhelming at first, but you quickly get used to it.
You’re right but the kind of people who buy this service buy into the perception that Terraform is cloud agnostic, and perception is reality.

Another POV is that the compliance companies sell the holistic social experience of compliance. The people for whom this matters need checkboxes and don’t mind paying for consulting disguised as a CSA. In fact they may even prefer it.

It depends what you mean by "discuss."

Do you mean, go on live TV news program and tell a bunch of half-truths such that people walk away with with the wrong impression? Do you mean, two people chatting in a forum?

Similarly, should Facebook be able to promote blatantly false information? Not pen it mind you, but "simply link?" -- at what point are Facebook's (and YouTube's, etc) algorithms responsible for curating and disseminating information, and why would I think that free speech laws should apply in that scenario?

So yeah, I can throw up a smoke screen of questions to ask, but I still think overall the vector is positive, not negative.
Estimates place the size of Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings at between 600,000 BTC and 1.1 million BTC.

The vast majority of Satoshi Nakamoto's wallets received a 50 BTC block reward and have remained dormant since.

Grand challenges at the interface of engineering and medicine
It so happens I’m reading The New Roman Empire by the first historian in the article, so I can talk about this a bit:

If we compare with the Roman Republic, not being centered on Rome is a big change. However, many emperors spent little time in Rome, and when there was a civil war it was apparently common to declare some other city a “New Rome,” so that idea was going around. Roman citizenship was considerably more flexible than other ancient empires, including people of many ethnicities, and was eventually extended to every free inhabitant in the empire. They didn’t just call themselves Roman, they legally were citizens, despite not living in and never going to Rome.

We could instead focus on the similarities, like not having a monarchy. Anyone could be chosen emperor if they were in the right place at the right time. (Originally by being a popular and effective general, but later acclaimed by the crowds in Constantinople after political maneuvering.)

So I agree that there’s a “Ship of Theseus” aspect to it, but it seems like a consequence of Roman flexibility, allowing the empire to evolve into something rather different over the centuries.

(Apparently Christianity resulted in far more religious strife, though, compared to polytheism. As a state religion, it seems like it was a turn for the worse, and the history of the many schisms over nonsense is rather tedious.)
What's "wrong with people" is they don't like eating poison.

hopefully we can agree that tarquin was roman?

caesar had control over a very different territory than tarquin, very different styles of art, and a very different government and military than tarquin, and although he spoke tarquin's language, his subjects mostly didn't speak sabine and etruscan like tarquin's subjects did. i think you can make a case that basileios's government was a lot more similar to caesar's than caesar's was to gaius marcius rutilus's; certainly the justification caesar's assassins gave for killing him was that his government was uniquely un-roman

so sure, ship of theseus, but that didn't start with caesar. caesar was already five centuries of radical changes past tarquin (who also barely had a foothold in italy) and seven centuries after the mythological romulus
What Americans Think of Weight Loss Drugs
Yes, implementing `CLEANSE_MACRO_VARS` was left as an exercise for the reader. The real key improvement here is that C23 standardized C++-style `auto` (or GNU C `__auto_type`), though its improved support for variadic macros also helps a few corners.

The key observation is that, for expression-like (only with GNU statement expressions) or statement-like (using do-while, possibly emulating expression-like macros by specifying an output variable) macros, shadowing is perfectly okay as long as it doesn't happen before the evaluation of the macro argument expressions.

So what you do is define all the variables twice - first, with long and ugly names (which name is only generated/used deep inside the cleansing macro), to capture the expression, and then (after all the ugly definitions are done, not just some), as a simple copy of that with a nice name for use in the user's macro. So the resultant macro works like:

#define MAX(a_, b_) // omitting backslashes
({
auto _ugly_a = (a_);
auto _ugly_b = (b_);
// it's safe if the above arguments expand to contain unrelated `a` and `b`.
auto a = _ugly_a;
auto b = _ugly_b;
// in a statement expression, the last statement is the resulting value
a > b ? a : b;
})

There's no need to `__LINE__` for this particular problem, since all you need is a sufficiently long unique prefix to namespace it (which all C libraries assume anyway).

=====

Note also that the old `__typeof__` is not useless just because `__auto_type` exists. Besides things like `_Generic` and function definitions where there's no initializer allowed, it's also useful for safely forming pointers to a passed-in type which might be (a pointer to) an array or function, since, like `sizeof`, types are also valid for its argument. This is in fact in the documentation if anybody reads that.
Wendy's Wants to Start Uber-Like Surge Pricing in 2025
When you exchange two identical particles, you normally don’t see a change (except in phase) — eg, if I have three in a row, but swap 1 and 2, then 2 and 3, you shouldn’t be able to tell that from swapping 2 and 3 then 1 and 2. The exchanges commute.

Abelian anyons are quasiparticles that when we exchange them, we get “any” phase change rather than the normal +/- 1. Hence any-on.

In non-Abelian (ie, non-commuting) systems, exchanging particles has a deeper effect on the system - which encodes a braiding group in its topology. This happens in 2+1 dimensions because the particle world lines “tangle”; since lines tangle in 3 dimensions.

Or use a C++ linter that disallows raw pointers, non-const references etc. There’s more, but, it’s mostly a subset of the language, although I admit some common syntax can get bloated this way.

> tech-interviewers will routinely measure candidates by the output of their extra-curricular coding

Is this true, or is it a myth? It’s a patently unfair metric to measure someone’s professional aptitude by what they doin their free time, everyone knows it, no one wants to be held to that standard… how common is it, actually, that employers expect you to clock out of your day job getting paid to write code, and proceed to your second unpaid job of writing more code?

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered any indication during the hiring process that a potential employer was disappointed to see my lack of ‘shipped’ side projects. Ever!

The motivation was to literally reuse work done for another, unrelated client and protect.

Birthrate in UK falls to record low as campaigners say 'procreation a luxury'
The difference is in the defaults, not the product. There are two distinct cuts of pork used for bacon: belly and loin. In the US, belly is the default ‘bacon’, and to get bacon made from pork loin you need to look for ‘Canadian bacon’ (but that will have the fat all trimmed off) or ‘Irish bacon’, or you might find ‘back bacon’ in a butcher or deli counter. In the UK the default ‘bacon’ is back bacon, made from the loin. If you want belly meat you need to look for ‘streaky bacon’.

Weirdly I think this is a case where US FDA regulations are oddly strict about what can be sold as ‘bacon’ and how it has to be packaged (those weird little fat windows in the cardboard) which prevents back bacon being offered as a normal product.

Apple seems to think so
Several years ago there was a craft beer joint in my area that had a gimmicky "stock market" system for their pricing - the more a certain beer was purchased, the higher its price became, and the less popular brews slowly dropped in price to stimulate demand. Ultimately, they dropped this system for being "too irritating" and moved to a standard static pricing model.

It sounds like the Wendy's thing is based more on time of day and historical analysis of sales, so we will have to see how it plays out. But I think and the end of the day people will become more annoyed when their favored menu item is more expensive simply because they arrived at the restaurant sooner than they expected, or whatever other criteria Wendy's starts basing their pricing on. Having price tracking on their app does seem like the next logical step, but ultimately an annoying gamification (and vaguely dystopian) in my opinion.

Perhaps their customer base feels different and they've done their research on that - I'm not in that group so I'm more of a bystander here.
I've worked in critical infra. We had a risk matrix anything above a certain rating meant it had to have a quarterly update to our executive committee. We had some satellites which had a severe impact. Anyway we raised a case about aliens destroying the satellites which was ranked the lowest likelihood. But due to the matrix it meant our director needed to report on aliens attacking our satellites every quarter.
Thats incorrect. Greek may not have been their main language, but most of educated and especially noble Romans spoke it. It was language of poetry and philosophy, speaking it was a shibollet of belonging to the educated. Mark Aurelius Antoninus, for example, wrote his Meditations in Greek, not Latin.

The reason is much simpler, Amazon is correctly optimizing for the person who buys like 10 scooters. This doesn’t sound rational but it’s the same principles as video game IAP. God rolls a 100 sided dice and if it’s a 1 or a 2, you’re born someone who just buys an absolutely ridiculous amount of stuff. These people are rare but the system is not wrong.
This falls apart when you look at platforms like Netflix. They recommend their original content because they don't pay royalties. The platforms aren't interchangeable though. If you want Disney movies, you aren't getting them anywhere else but Disney plus.

Ah, I see. I thought the cleaning involved something like gensym, but you just meant that a new scope can introduce a variable of the same name without interfering with the original. You don't really forbid something like `MAX(&_ugly_a, &_ugly_b)` for example, that was why I was confused.
That commission looks harmful.
It definitely falls into the category of “things I don’t believe work” or “things I don’t think work on me.”

I’m not going to a mall to be hypnotized into sleepwalking my way from purchasing opportunity to purchasing opportunity - I’m there to get in, get the stuff I came for, and get out. No matter if they’re playing fast music, loud music, holiday music, kids music - I’m not there to listen to the music. It has no bearing on the choices I make or the actions I take.

Very very hard for me to believe this stuff, it seems far too much like pseudoscientific magic to me.

> I would never go back to VS Code.

Even though I probably will not be using VSCode seriously, I still want to learn it to the point that I understand how things work. At some point, I'm gonna have to work on a diverse team of programmers, it's useful to see everyone's perspective on things to be able to explain your own approach and the workflow. I don't want to sound like an ignorant douche, saying things like: "yeah, but VSCode can't even do X", what if that wouldn't even make sense, because in order to have X, first, there's gotta be a foundational base feature that VSCode simply cannot ever have? You can't describe the universe of infinitely many similar but non-congruent shapes that exists in the realm of hyperbolic geometry if you never cared to learn the Euclidian one. Conversely, there are certain things that Emacs unlikely will have anytime soon, but VSCode maybe was designed to have them from the get-go.
