I'm going to keep repeating this. The negative control is to run the exact same experiment with deuterium instead of hydrogen. It shouldn't work. This experiment can easily be done even with Rossi's black box setup, and, as a blinded experiment if desired.
So you are content to allow the USA to defend Europe while you spend your money on domestic services? Personally I find it hard to respect those decisions.

We end having to protect Europe because we are the only ones who understand defense of one's liberty should be the first priority.

This one polls every 5ms, so you have 5ms guaranteed latency, when mine reacts on USB async interrupts. Also it takes a hammer approach and simulates a joystick via VHID+WirtualJoy, whereas mine just maps the USB packets to sets up a HID descriptor and passes it straight to OS X's IOKit. You can't have it be more lightweight and native: connect pipes and tell OSX how to understand packets in the most standard way possible.

Latency matters a lot to me, especially in emulators as it creates a terrible uncanny valley (even more when you have the original hardware to compare to). Using Higan on OpenEmu with this controller, latency is really low and I have the feeling very similar to "native" NES when I play Megaman.

Also once you go in Big Picture mode on Steam and configure the gamepad, mine works like a charm in all games I threw at it.
Some screenshots of the admin interface would probably be valuable too.

It's not the purpose of door locks, it's the result. It's true enough that locks keep honest thieves out; the also keep the lazy ones out. Another practical result of a door lock is that it slows the attacker, hopefully enough that the occupants can react.
I'll start by saying that I agree with almost everything you've said. I can think of one time where a loop with a sleep might be appropriate though -- if you have something, perhaps some IO channel like a log, and you want it flushed regularly, but not every time a write is performed. With a long enough sleep (>100ms) the performance overhead ought to be low. Is there a better way to design that though?
Yeah, this is a pet peeve of mine. As far as I know, right now it's structurally impossible to have Congress make real reform, or even legislate effectively. There have been a string of these "inside" articles from staffers and congressmen themselves. They all have the same tone: money ruins politics, partisan politics ruins legislation, lobbyists steer the wheel more than the people, congressmen don't spend enough time with each other so they see each other as enemies, and so on.

This article in particular is funny. The writer suggests that we won't change the constitution. If the problem is that deeply rooted, what else could work but an amendment? Why not just change the rules of the game? I don't think there's a person I know who's happy with Congress, regardless of political party. I think it could work. All you need is enough people who agree, right?
Addendum: Redd about Scopes a bit, it's more than just a different way of invoking the same apps. A Scope is a frontend to components of apparently any kind.
Have you considered specializing? Pick a set of a few tools you enjoy working with and only work with them. Sure you need to keep your eyes on the horizon for better tools, as you wouldn't want to be a "CGI specialist" these days.

What I'm getting at is that MOST of the time, even if a particular job lists off some particular tech, the ultimate customer is generally interested in a good working solution and doesn't care that much about the tech used.
If that's the metric, then I would say that we are the most tragically squandered successful experiment in history.
Not knowing any context about this, I first thought hackers(crackers) were trying to corrupt GNU packages. But of course RMS was using hyperbolic metaphors when he said "attack" to mean he thought LLVM guys were conspiring to sabotage GNU packages....I guess.
I hope I understand your question correctly.

From what I find documents are mostly in a table, and hierarchy is provided by another one, like a `categories` table, in which a `parent_id` column is used to refer to itself and form a tree. It helps a lot to cache that tree, as it usually is often used, not too big, rarely changes, and needs more then one query (mostly).

In Postgress there is the `ltree` extension, but then the solution is Pg specific.
I wonder. Are there metrics by which the US is on top?

By world standards, the US is a very nice place. It makes the top 10 or top 20 by typical metrics. But it usually doesn't take the top spot.

GC is almost certainly best handled in the RTS if you're going to expect to have one. In theory, Rust could pick MSIL as a new target and then they'd pay overhead for a GC which is not useful at all.

Alternatively, due to the existence of the GC as a given in the CLR, it might be that manual memory isn't exposed (as well or as nicely) in the MSIL making the idea of targeting Rust to it kind of silly. I have no personal clue.
Cool idea but will this actually be good in practice. When I go on Instagram a huge number of the popular images are NSFW with partial nudity or other things I wouldn't like to see every time I open a new tab
I'd be surprised if theories of static memory safety weren't well-developed by 2007. They merely weren't in any practical scope for the CLR.
"We owe it to Jobs that he realized it's stupid idea, and put an end to it."

The law they claimed to use to require Iceland to do the search also requires that USA provide the same protections as if the suspect and search had been made in the USA. USA of course can renege on their agreement to abide by the Convention but under rule of law it should have an effect on the US court.

If Iceland did the USA's bidding and in doing so contravened the USA's Convention agreement then it certainly looks like that should be the USA's problem - in practice USA don't seem to care about that sort of thing. The international community shouldn't allow USA to act unlawfully to parties just because they're not on USA soil.

What I'm saying is that it looks like the USA's request required them to provide certain legal protections that they didn't extend. It seems like they were prepared to flout the rule of law in order to apprehend DPR. The ends are right but I don't think they entirely justify the means.

"and we try to do our best", followed by an article where everyone follows the same rutted path like sheep instead of trying to break the mold. If they were trying to do their best, they wouldn't engage in filibustering and brinksmanship.

Then, near the end: "lower pay than a first-year graduate of a top law school". $174k? That's your typical graduate salary from a top law school? Yes, perhaps. If you choose the cream of the crop, in the most expensive state, with the largest firms. It's a silly comparison anyway, because first-year graduates are in their early 20s, and politicians are, for the most part, middle aged. Talented middle-aged people aren't becoming politicians because they're instead drawn by the lure of being a junior lawyer?

I mean, seriously, no-one believes that the only financial benefits federal politicians get is their salaries. Hell, the Australian Prime Minister is paid 25% more than the POTUS (or at least was, before our dollar dropped), but the current and past presidents aren't exactly strapped for cash.

Very nice. I'm wondering and hoping that Microsoft will start releasing design/architecture documentation and walkthroughs. Something that's sorely lacking from most open source projects is any sort of documentation to help would-be contributors get up to speed and wrap their heads around things. On a lot of smaller projects it's not a huge deal, but some of the new dotnet foundation stuff is MASSIVE.
I think this is a very important point. These media companies have not been able to extract as much rent from their IP as they could ten years ago, and their shareholders are not happy about that. They absolutely have to try something.

well in your list of countries by GDP (PPP) the US is and has long been the top large-population country.
The difference is that US agencies don't actually use this information, likely because of privacy regulations and stop forth. The right hand rarely knows what the left is doing, unless law enforcement or homeland security get involved.

There was a recent controversy over whether gcc would export its syntax trees for the purpose of enabling EMACS to catch up with IDEs on code analysis and refactoring. Richard Stallman opposed this, because of fears that this would lead to companies attaching gcc's frontends to proprietary backends, proposing instead to make gcc output a limited subset of the syntax tree. The controversy left the gcc-emacs integration project in a tough spot from which it has not progressed.

The linked post refers to some work integrating emacs with LLVM, which is gcc's chief competitor. Stallman appears to think that this is an effort to displace gcc. Which it sort of is, but one that's necessary given that gcc is failing to provide essential functionality.

RMS wants his packages to be the best, and watching non-free alternatives "push major GNU packages out of use" [1] I guess could be considered an attack on his principles.

Again? This is really getting ridiculous, gud stands for Grand Unified Debugger, it makes no sense to me to refuse that it support other debuggers that many people would find useful.

The way I see it, RMS is concerned that if people have the option of using LLDB over GDB, it will weaken the position/status of GNU, which is why he'd rather promote GNU tools over other free alternatives. However, isn't he replacing one "problem" with another? If developers cannot use the tools of their choice in Emacs, they will abandon it in favor of other development environments.

To me, the best way to promote copyleft software is to not shelter it to the point that it becomes its own little isolated garden. Instead, it should strive to be a very useful citizen of the greater FLOSS ecosystem that people choose to use because of its technical qualities.
To pre-emptively deny the reform opponent (read "Disney lackey") the opportunity to scare monger people by trotting out the "it's exponential!!" argument.

If it's a flat fee for the first 15 or 30 years then it should take a lot of wind out of their sails.

If people start doing the math and saying "but at 60 years this is completely insane!" then just ask for a list of affected stakeholders that this would bankrupt. I suspect the only people on the list would be Disney.
I agree with everything here except the bit about Yanmar. I like Yanmar engines; John Deere even uses them on some of their small tractors and commercial mowers. Don't know much about actual Yanmar produced tractors, but I suspect they may have got a bad rep due to their lack of US dealer network, or maybe racism/nationalism.

"The powers that be have zero interest in the legalization of marijuana and yet it continues despite directly contravening federal law."

The steady march towards legalization of marijuana is, quite frankly, a model for how people can work outside of D.C. to make things happen. This really began at the state level, then picked up momentum among voters by word of mouth, spreading from state to state.

I remember many years ago, when some political activists thought that medical marijuana was a strategically poor route to legalization. That has turned out to be completely wrong. Acceptance of the medical benefits of marijuana did a lot to change general public perception of cannabis. It completely reframed the issue, from one of moral panic, to one of compassion and economics. Over time, marijuana became so normalized as to stop outraging the kinds of voters it used to outrage. These days, even if many people still don't accept the medical benefits, they're not up in arms about the subject. They've accepted that people are going to smoke weed, and that the world doesn't fall off of its axis when people do. Haters have stopped hating.

Now that cannabis has been destigmatized, and all but normalized--in pop culture, in common experience, and at the polls--its former controversy has been short circuited. It's no longer a hot-button "social values" issue with any significant blocks of voters. Hence, no congressperson's job depends on coming out for or against it every election cycle. So congresspeople are apathetic about it. They're not going to try to help the issue, but they're not going to try to stop it, either.

Marijuana beat Congress because marijuana went around Congress. That seems to be the secret to making things happen in this country: make something a grassroots issue, generate "demand" (so to speak), and build a groundswell of inevitability before dealing with D.C.
I actually doubt that you can find a large body of writing from enough Congress members to succeed. I don't think members write a word of anything that comes from them, in office or in campaigns. They're written by ad/consulting companies in campaigns, and by staffers in office.

Everything I've received in response to a message to a member in the last two decades sounds like it was written by a corporate spokesman. Which they probably were, since I'm sure these canned responses are reviewed for compatibility with a member's donors.
I actually have kext signing permission but I'm not sure the implications of me signing the product and distributing it for you in that sense.

And yet in the lead-up to WWII, the US had a very small army. Any aggressor other than Canada or Mexico would have to first cross the twin giant moats of the US. Canada has nowhere near the size to take on the US, and a sufficient military build-up in Mexico would be seen coming a long way away.

If the goal is simply "defend ourselves", a strong navy is all the US needs, plus a few nukes to stay in the nuke club. Any aggressor with a large enough army and navy to take on the US would, again, be seen coming a mile away.
Hmmm. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

In that case you don't want to sleep. You want to wait until a condition (new data) or a timeout (100ms) occurs.

The reasoning is that you don't know how much data will arrive in the next 100ms and if you sleep either a buffer could overrun or something else could block. Therefore you need to flush the buffer either when enough data has accumulated or if a timeout has occured.
