Exactly: it's really hard to tell if "the environment" took out the other hominids, or if the descendants of the 1280 took them out.
"Hmm, this monkey looking thing isn't as tasty as a wooly mammoth, but it'll do."
(it's not like chimps don't catch and eat other primates)
If you have an iOS device, KQ Dixie is a pretty good DX7 emulation. It’s an audio unit, so you can load it into a host (“DAW”) and add an effects chain, even though it’s on a mobile device
I suspect they will have a different naming convention after they get to M4.
There might be some hesitance installing an M5. You should stay out of the way if the machine learning core needs more power.
I guess by the time they get to M5, anyone old enough to get the reference will have retired.
Maybe there were only 54, and that was one of the bugs to be fixed - exactly the sort of problem that lurks in that kind of repetitive code.
I like iOS, but I won’t buy their flagship hardware. It’s too expensive for something so fragile.
I have 3 iOS devices, but I won’t pay a grand for a phone. I would rather replace my base level devices in 4 or 5 years when they start to age out.
Perhaps someone will start a “Speaker of the House” index fund which the officers from the Federal Reserve can buy, since they won’t be able to buy individual stocks.
More 9s. Closer to 24x7.
I picked up on that angle as well.
“Ignition” isn’t about generating electricity. It’s about making fusion bombs which don’t emit neutrons or other radiation (from a fission trigger) while the device is in storage.
So, not primarily a power generation design like a tokamak would be.
The smoke plume stretches all the way to the Dakotas this morning.
It’s a startling visualization.
Sure.
Orange man rushed out a shot. It must be bad.
Gray man said get the shot. It’s good.
I’m not saying that kind of “thinking” is valid, but it’s apparently widely accepted.
(I got the shot, but I can see why some people would have considerations)
“China Uncensored” on YouTube has covered this sort of behavior towards countries neighboring the China Sea frequently.
China stripping unguarded Atlantic coasts was news to me, though.
We need to ban all assault computers with more than 8 CPUs now. Think of the subsidiaries, er, children!!!
Does this fall under violating the First Amendment, or the Second?
Any numbers on China’s coal plants?
Ah, yes, the IBM PC. I think of it as the Permian extinction (Great Dying) of computer science.
I’m joking, but... most higher level languages were tossed aside for “serious” app development. First to use x86 assembly, then “portable assembly” (C). Much of the “worse is better” methodology can be attributed to giving many people computers, but initially very underpowered computers.
I think you meant to say “tungsten rods”, rather than titanium. the composition of the drop weapons doesn’t change the gist though.
Titanium is used in airframes for its strength to weight ratio (it’s not very dense). Tungsten is used in weapons for its high hardness and density.
God-Emperor of Scrum. The code must flow.
We had different lunches in the 70s. Cooking on site, no fast food boxes brought in.
I’m sure they were still too much carbs, but they had protein and real vegetables, though usually canned.
The “In & Out Burger” chain actually lists burgers without buns on the menu. They put it on an extra bit of lettuce.
I don’t think you can run something like Native Instruments acoustic instrument sample suite on Linux.
I’m guessing they want orchestra sounds, and not just analog/subtractive, FM or other digital synth sounds.
Perhaps “heavily influenced by”, based on a need to be able to sell their services overseas?
Bingo!
It was apparently off limits to discuss how the family of one presidential candidate made so much money overseas for doing so little, and might this have something to do with how a member of that family perceives policy?
If the [redacted] government offers $10 million in “forgivable” loans to a family, might they be expecting to recoup that “investment” in some way?
Nope, nothing to see here, move along citizens. Ignorance is strength.
Yeah, the list of plaintiffs definitely has an axe to grind.
And hey, how about those voting machines, while we’re at it? A solution in search of a problem.
Meanwhile, Congress is working hard to ensure that we are all competitive.

Into the arena for the glory of Rome, I guess. (“Competition”)
I spent the late 80s working in XBase, which also had a single numeric type, though you could enforce the desired precision by saving numbers in tables.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Safe to assume views go in the “code” schema with procs/funcs/packages, leaving just tables and sequences (if needed) in the “data” schema?
Considering building a side project using this kind of approach...
Presumably you can revert to a previous tag/label in source control and reload the previous procs/funcs to roll back versions.
The apps I have been working on are monoliths which run at about 2% CPU on the server, so there is no A/B comparison runs in production (e.g. on January 1, some law goes into effect and you WILL implement it). I would happily see ORM usage curb stomped.
I think the order management system at Pizza Hut in the early 90s was on SCO.
(Yeah, Snow Crash hit a little too close to home for me.)
We had an SCO box (among other unices) at the job I worked in the early 90s making software to port RPG code off of IBM minis.
That seems to be pretty common statement about JavaScript, but strangely not one I share.
I have been programming since the early 80s, and my experience with JS has been pretty positive, especially compared to the slog through the unreadable mud that is enterprise Java. (If I was going to rage quit on something, it would be the verbose, obtuse, repetitive Java sludge I’ve had to read the last decade and a half)
Typescript solves problems I don’t have. The Jetbrains IDEs do autocomplete just fine on vanilla JS, and the documentation window automatically shows the initialization and any JSDoc for most every symbol the editor cursor touches. I avoid writing code with thousands of global symbols.
OOP languages like Object Pascal and C++ are good for making lemonade from the lemon of manual memory management, but if you have efficient garbage collection, use functional programming techniques rather than OOP bloat, and many self inflicted problems go away.
I hope TS doesn’t turn JS into Enterprise Java, The Next Generation.
Nothing personal, most people seem to prefer that style. Just understand, there is a reason some people run away from the C++ / Java / C# / TS milieu.
I think the parent post was attributing longFuglyCapsUnpronouncabeName type identifiers to the Java language/culture, As much as (just) the editor?
I’m biased, though. I HATE gigantic supposedly “self documenting” (but utterly impossible to actually say aloud) identifiers.
My ideal identifiers are 2, maybe 3, syllables, with dashes or underscores, with actual documentation of WHY anything visible beyond The scope of a single function is used.
It seems to crash or otherwise reload frequently as well, at least in Safari on my iPad.
After a while I put it in reader mode, until it reloaded crapify mode again :-(
Note to Wired staff: surely you can do something that would make people want to return to your site, rather than viewing it as a last resort?
Hopefully some will take that policy into account next Tuesday.
