Of course it can, but likely you will also need some search as well.

In math programming, we create a relaxation of the assignment problem where all of the integer decisions are converted to continuous. Then you solve this super simple Linear Program. This is a theoretical lower bound on what the optimal assignment is. You can now start branch and bound search and find the optimal integer assignment.

Now the trick is that we have identified over the decades cuts (inequalities) that you can apply to this initial relaxed problem, that they chop off irrelevant continuous space but let the integer solutions are untouched. If your cuts are good enough and the integer optimal solution is at the vertex of the chopped polytope, congratulations! You don't have to search anything!
Are delayed issues harder to resolve?
I found this article interesting because it shows empirical analysis against the commonly held belief that "errors are more costly the later it's discovered in the software development process" including myself.
It doesn't matter what's fair. It's whether it worked or not that counts. It didn't, now it does. That's an awesome positive step.
Are you planning to also provide an English translation of your microkernel book? That sounds very interesting...
Considering the schedule has you stopping one task and one time and starting another exactly seven hours later, that’s not seven hours of sleep. Most people don’t stop a task and immediately fall asleep, or wake up and can start working. That gap means less than seven hours of sleep. And for many people seven hours isn’t enough. Sleep deprivation means not having enough quality sleep, it’s not a single number which can be applied to everyone all the time equally.
I would love for Linux gaming to take off and displace Windows. The current direction is very promising, but there has been roadblocks. Notably, Respawn decided to forbid Linux users last year[0].

Interesting, I'm somewhat shocked that the fed has no ability to direct and deploy the Mounties, but I wont argue with a Canadian. That said, I think the democratic solution is to act through ones representatives, impeach the premier, ect.

I also dont see why the emergency act, if declared, couldn't be used to enforce existing laws and remove the truckers.

I think my core point is that there are conventional and broadly accepted methods to take when people are breaking the law. People breaking the law does not provide a blank check to stop them by any means desired.
This rings in Minneapolis. The midwest definitely has a solid, consistent scene for house/techno/electronic with DJs bouncing between Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago for sets.

The demographic is definitely millennial, with maybe ~25% being Gen Z.

It's also definitely not... popular. The biggest nights have a _way_ smaller turnout than college bars or city clubs. I'm not sure how strong the crowd actually was 10-20 years ago, but these clubs aren't in the mainstream appeal. Maybe from lack of marketing, maybe taste+preference.
I’m happy that a government is holding itself accountable, but I seriously doubt the fine will go through - and even if it does all it does is cost the taxpayer more money due to either incompetence or just malicious intent.

The European mind can’t comprehend that most Americans think EU regulations are oppressive and unnecessary. The EU can’t comply with their own regulations isn’t a good indicator. Neither is the fact that the EU still displays cookie banners on their own website, despite that being everyone’s favorite jab at American companies.

What would a healthcare system freed from the yoke of history look like?

It would be outcome-driven, certainly. Propelled by human dignity rather than by profit. Upheld by a network of compassionate experts actively working to increase medical literacy for all. How would you do it? You would open the doors for any patient to be able to work with experts who can simply help—people who know how to interact with the legacy system and know the magic words to get patients exactly what they need, when they need it. You would build a fortress of hope within the U.S. healthcare system.

That’s what we’re doing at Solace. Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health.

Our current stack is Typescript, React, Postgres, Heroku.

Or even better- your password
Man this would have been nice when I was in school.

For some reason linear algebra still isn't part of standard Mechanical Engineering course load (Calc 1, 2, 3, DiffEq) which made life extremely difficult in some of the later classes. I remember spending weeks brute forcing a lot of things that would have been trivial with a little bit of matrix math.

I took a superficially similar class as a 400 level elective but it assumed everyone already knew linear algebra going in, and it was a disaster.
Sure, but if they pay their devs below market and constrain them to traditional corporate tomfoolery (Macs, but locked down; week-long waits to install software; Gantt chart project management; no engineering-driven career tracks; etc), then I doubt they'll go far. This is what GM did when they absorbed Cruise, and people, correctly, left in droves
If you can legitimately make a better engine in your basement, that's just as easy to use then please open source it. If it's in a high level language with types ( C#, Typescript, Haxe, Java) I'll personally donate 100$.

Both Unity and Unreal have cost billions to make.

Godot is cool, but GD script isn't fun( in general I hate learning a programming language for a single framework, dart is the last time I do that) and C# support is still ify. Godot tries to do everything Unity can, but can't do them particularly as well. The community is also a cult.

I've tried Godot like 3 times and it always feels like janky Unity.

During the Unity drama every single game dev post on Reddit would get a bunch of comments saying you should switch to Godot.

An open source game engine that doesn't accept PRs and is basically ran by 3 people.

Neat.

Personally my dream engine would be Haxe + an editor + docs + Web Assembly/Native/Mobile support.

But engines are very hard and expensive to make. For my current project, it's so text heavy I realized I'm better off just using React/HTML/CSS.

The game is meant to be played in a website, but it's going to be open source so you can run it locally if you wish.
In my experience 60% seems too high even for supposedly technical users (ref: I work in a dev firm), at least away from their jobs.

I definitely don't believe it for the wiser population (my gut, again based on people I know, says the number is more like 10%, maybe 15). Even the 36% figure on the report on security.org posted above seems dubious, I suspect they have some bias in their survey. Unless that is some people who use the iCloud password manager for some things and no password manager for everything else, so it isn't claiming 36% routinely use a password manager away from a few key accounts.
That actually exists already!

The brand name of the material is D3o, it's used in products like the Fox Baseframe.

100% this is Apple's fault. They never took gaming seriously. I'd hoped that would change with the M series integrated GPUs, but that hasn't been the case lately, with only a tiny number of titles launching with Apple Silicon support. That's on Apple, not anybody else.

For what it's worth, I did buy and occasionally use Crossover (thank you!), but only when the game isn't supported on GeForce Now.

My M2 Max, even at its best (as in Baldur's Gate 3 running native Apple Silicon code), is still no match for a 4080... not even close. Crossover works well for simple indie games, but AAA games often have more demanding requirements. The extraordinary performance of DLSS (Nvidia's AI upsampling and frame interpolation algorithm) alone makes non-Nvidia GPUs less viable these days. And that's just the performance side.

Then, Crossover's UX is a whole other issue. Crossover's Steam takes forever to launch every time (I'm not really sure why this is; never bothered to really look into it). It's never clear to me which proper combination of D3DMetal/DXVK/Esync/Msync to use (I still don't even know what the "sync modes" mean). Some games only work with a certain version of Apple's GPT (for others: Game Porting Toolkit, not AI) manually installed, or requiring the bleeding-edge preview version of Crossover, etc. The idea of user-managed "bottles" and disks is a lot more complicated than GFN's model of individually vendor-managed sandboxed/containerized games, preconfigured to work right the first time and every time. That's the kind of arcade/console like experience I want these days since it's zero fuss. (But it often does preclude mod and trainer support, as a tradeoff.)

Overall... I'm grateful Crossover exists. It's easier to use than Whisky, and Codeweavers contributes a lot of code back upstream. Again, thank you. There are some games I wouldn't be able to play at all otherwise.

But most of the time these days, as a working man and not a teenager anymore, I have limited time to spend on gaming. GFN lets me just click a button and play without fuss, vs all the tinkering required of virtualized & emulated games. It's the difference between "wait a few seconds and I can play at max graphics" and "if I tinker with this for a couple hours, it might eventually launch and maybe I can squeeze 30 fps out of it on low-medium".

Poynter operates PolitiFact, which is blatantly partisan:

They mark accurate statements as 'mostly false', when what they really mean is they lack a very specific context, in this case per-capita adjustment to make killings 'disproportionate', but NOT e.g. per-homicide-perpetrator adjustment. One could of course argue what is the correct normalization, but PolitiFact doesn't do that - they simply label the accurate statement as false: https://www.politifactbias.com/2020/06/politifact-mangles-fa...

They omit fact-checks if those fact checks would give credence to their opposition: https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2021/04/21/p...

Using web technology to build "native" mobile apps has been around almost as long as mobile apps themselves. I used Appcelerator Titanium and Phonegap to do this beginning in 2012 (maybe even 2011) before eventually trying Native development later after finding these options underwhelming.

I have a reasonable amount of experience doing both, and my opinion is that development tools aren't really the problem. The biggest pain point is the platform specific deployment and maintenance requirements (including legal and technical documentation) that will be needed regardless of what technology you use to actually build the product. Because of this I always advise clients that they don't really need a mobile app. Just build it on the web.

If you absolutely must have a mobile app, you need to fully commit and hire an internal development team and be prepared to keep paying them as long as the app is going to be in use.
And I guess bringing renewables to 62% solves that problem?

I grew up around horses and even rode some myself when I was in my youth. I think the average person does not realize how horribly dangerous horses are. Think like in the movie/book "Gone with the Wind." While useful animals, horses are responsible for countless deaths. And this is purely conjecture on my part, but I imagine horses were more dangerous than cars ever have been.

Even last year, my mother broke her neck from getting thrown, and miraculously made a full recovery despite almost severing her spinal cord. Her horse got spooked, bucked before she could react, and it was almost all over but the crying.
Yeah cause people just skipped installs forever.

That's the reason.

And as I said, you can run it once a week and control when it happens.
> cumulative effect of paper-cut issues will cause people to bounce off

I disagree, PC gaming has always been rife with papercuts, especially relative to console gaming.

The real moat that Windows has is that anonymous-matchmade competitive multiplayer games are decreasingly going to want to run on hardware that supports user freedom. Which for me personally is fine, because I find anonymous-matchmade competitive multiplayer games to be dogwater that I ain't missing, but for a lot of people that's a non-starter.

(Disclaimer: proud owner of a Steam Deck which has also served double duty as my desktop machine while I wait for a replacement power supply for my laptop.)
Or, Microsoft could let people chose when to update, so the ones who have to use Windows (like myself) can continue to do so without having to deal with their continued bullshit.

Not really sure why you specify 20 years, but I'm too lazy to go through the history of IOC positions to figure out the one 20 years ago.

Because looking at the current one already provides the answer.
The IOC doesn't take the position that it is a simple topic.

The wording in https://olympics.com/ioc/human-rights/fairness-inclusion-non... (and click through) is quite clear that they see a tension between inclusion along the axis of sexual identity and a continuation (or successor) or male/female category split.

You might want to check in again. Generics have been in go for a couple of years now. There are loads of generic data structure libraries now. The most recent release of go included a way to generic structures with `for range` loops. Which unblocks the ecosystem from writing iterator helper libraries.

It does not support STEP export, unfortunately, because STEP files use a completely different underlying representation.

Most STEP files represent shapes as a set of surfaces (e.g. trimmed NURBS). These surfaces have to form a watertight manifold, which can be treated as a solid volume.

To make this actually work, you need a kernel for boundary representations (b-reps), rather than Fidget's functional representations (f-reps). Writing such a kernel is a much harder problem – as one example, the intersection of two NURBS surfaces doesn't always have a closed-form representation! In conversations with someone in the industry, they estimated it would take 6 engineers about a year to write a decent b-rep kernel, if they had done it before.

If you'd like to learn more, I've coincidentally also written a STEP file viewer, which includes a far-from-industrial-strength b-rep kernel: https://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/foxtrot/
You misread me or don’t understand the context. I’m not trying to downplay whatever Valorant is doing, I’m suggesting that since Epic is also a Tencent company, they deserve the same level of scrutiny and skepticism.
My understanding (as CEO of a startup using Mailgun for magic links) is that you're seeing mailgun in the URL because they have click tracking enabled — which, to be fair, is not super useful in the case of verification emails.

They could use a custom subdomain for this click tracking and "hide" the mailgun url from you, but we're finding that for some reason Mailgun doesn't just use a let's encrypt certificate, so some users will complain that the tracking links are "http" (and trigger a browser warning when clicked).

Anyway, even with click tracking disabled and links going straight to mercury.com, the security issue would remain the exact same (since Mailgun logs all outgoing email anyway).

But my understanding is that the contents of that email and its link do not provide "login" capability but "verification" capability. As such, a Mailgun employee accessing your data, or an attacker accessing your Mailgun logs, would only be able to "verify" a login that they had already initiated with your password AND your OTP —which means that's effectively a third hurdle for an attacker to breach, not a one-step jump into your account.
Well, "transformer" is already a kind of device. Do you have a suggested name to replace "synthesiser"?
Drill baby drill is not for Americans. It's to make countries in EU buy the American gas/oil so that we (europeans) get it from US rather than other countries.

The software culture in automotive companies is completely different from tech bro culture.

Also, some of the graybeards really held back certain innovations like security. Just roll your own crypto (spoiler it was broken).

Some of the older people were great though, really understood the electronics and vehicle communication systems, but in my experience the best software people were usually the manufacturing engineers. They had some really cool ideas and implementations that I didn't really appreciate until much later.

The coders for vehicle systems themselves were either electrical engineers who barely understood software, or software people who never opened a car (like you said).

I think most of the people who are pushing scrum and related ilk are cargo cutting, and aren't actually tech bros. I think a lot of this influence comes from the big consulting companies excited to make tons of money on "transformation".

Independent to this, you have the cloud providers, who are actually from Silicon Valley invading the stack from the backend and storage side, and now AI and analytics.

I love electronic music. Been listening to it for 30 years. Mostly drumbass, dubstep, some house. Groups like subfocus. I used to listen to tiesto, bt, etc.

One, I hated the term "raving". I was thought raves were finding an abandoned house, playing music and drugs. I just like the music and don't need the dance clubs or the drugs.

But with the said, I think the "club" scene has dropped off. Expensive drinks. Expensive covers. Who wants that.

Has the music droppped off? I think it kind of merged into more mainstream music.
No, whether a coffee cup will break when you drop it or whatever that was is not a political thing. I'm not sure what the rest is about. To deny that there is a lot of subjectivity in the kinds of "facts" we are talking about her is just to deny reality.
