Yups, I love the idea of LaTeX, LaTeX itself not so much.

I enabled it (quite intuitively) by clicking on the little cloud icon in Timeline. I didn’t need to go to settings.

Unfortunately because of the way Bitwarden works you should consider your passwords compromised when Bitwarden itself gets hacked - regardless of vault encryption. Especially if you ever used the web login.

To access your account you need to type your master password, the same password that is used decrypt your vault. If a competent hacker gains access to the Bitwarden servers they could install a compromised login page that logs master passwords and with that gain access to password vaults.

Sounds far-fetched maybe, but your password security depends completely on the ability of Bitwarden to protect their servers. The encryption is just a minor hurdle once the servers are compromised.

Note that 2FA doesn’t help since it is not used for vault encryption.

Looking at the comments and article, I almost feel like a freak for actually not minding going back to the office.

My commute to the office is about a 10 mins walk - maybe that’s the difference with many others here. Either way, I like the separation between work and home. I also believe that online meetings and chat are not a great substitute for actually talking to people, especially when you are building something together.

What? I would argue that unordered_map is nearly always a reasonable choice when in need of an unordered associative container. There is nothing particular wrong with it.

Not sure what your rationale is for saying it’s only useful for extremely niche use cases. I would be curious to know why you think so.

CMake as a library with bindings for various scripting languages (e.g. Python) would make a lot of sense to me. Have the power of a proper scripting language and let the CMake library deal with generating the build system.

I once looked into extracting the CMake build system generation code and make it into a standalone library. But I soon realized that it’s not exactly a weekend project.

If these private companies are anything like Serafe I can see why this referendum ended in a no.

This might have been a nice article to read. But after reading just the first paragraph I got unclosable overlay advertisements blocking out 80% of the screen making it impossible to continue reading.

Seeing this more and more often nowadays. No matter how good the article, if I cannot read it I won’t stick around.

What are you talking about? They make a new type of content that is available on the internet searchable. That’s how Google started and got successful in the first place.

Yes, so the structure itself has padding (added by the compiler). But that is regardless of whether it is in an array or not. OP seemed to suggest that C arrays introduce padding of some sort, which they do not.

possibly with padding

What padding?

There's no common official record on where someone lives in the US

When a US colleague transferred from our US office to our European office they were surprised and a little shocked that they were required to register their address with the local authorities. They felt that the government had no right to know where they lived.

For me, as a European, I was quite surprised about the opposite. How is it possible to have a functioning government without proper records about who lives where?

Only after the realization that the US does not keep records about who lives where did things like voter registration make sense to me.

Shooting should not be the starting point of law enforcement. Shooting should be a last resort. Implying that looting indiscriminately means shooting is a call to violence.

Fair point. ‘Looting inevitably leads to innocent people getting shot’ is probably not what Trump meant.

Because the exact phrase has historical context [1] in a sense of: if you loot, we shoot. Clearly it wasn’t said in a sense of: looting inevitably leads to violence.

That makes it sound like Trump used it in a similar fashion.

This was an ultrasound machine. Philips would first have you import the data in their own QLab software and from there export a copy (which misses some of the data from the private fields). With GE reading the data was completely impossible.

All manufacturers do this indeed. The “good” data is in the private fields that can only be read by the manufacturer’s proprietary software. The fields that are open for everyone usually have a lower quality version of the actual data. The latter is usually good enough for a small preview, but not good enough for proper diagnostic usage.

Youtube is more and more siding towards removing content. I wonder, can US regulators do something about it?

A few weeks ago the discussion here was about how YouTube is not removing enough content (mostly in relation to Covid-19). The consensus was pretty much that they do it on purpose because it makes them money.

I don’t think YouTube (or any large public content platform) has a winning move in this discussion. Any move will be perceived as nefarious.

too much extraction results in a acidic, heavy taste, too little extraction results in the dreaded "mud water" light taste

It's actually the opposite. Over extraction results in more prominent bitter flavors and under extraction in more prominent sour flavors.

For a van Gogh that would never work. No legitimate art dealer would touch it. Regardless of the amount of time in between.

Interesting fact is that Hendrik Lorentz, the Nobel prize winning physicist, did much of the calculations on how the tide would affect the structure. Based on his calculations the structure was moved to a spot were the movement of the water would have less of an influence.

It’s quite a feat of math and engineering considering that no computers were available to do real simulations.

Interesting paper describing some history and some of the math involved: https://ilorentz.org/history/zuiderzee/Lorentz_linearisation...

Years ago Apple bought the company, PrimeSense, that developed the technology for the first generation Kinect (the one based on IR structured light). From the description Apple gave of FaceID during the keynote I'm pretty certain that FaceID is pretty much Kinect in an iPhone.

Of course the application of it is totally different.

what you got was a bowl of plain steamed white rice, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a variety of cold pickles and sauces which you added to the rice (including a tube of really nice mild chili sauce which I've never been able to track down).

You most likely got Bibimbap, with Gochujang sauce (the chili sauce). Bibimbap is one of the Korean signature dishes, and Gochujang a staple ingredient of Korean food.

On flights to Korea with Korean Air, and other airlines, Bibimbap is pretty much guaranteed. I agree that it works very well.

Thank you. I seem to have completely missed all the VC blog posts about the bincompat decision with regard to Visual Studio "15"/2017.

Glad to know that the VC100 to VC140 overhaul that I completed only very recently can still be considered fully up to date with the latest and greatest :).

Does this also mean a new C/C++ runtime library is available (i.e. vcruntime150)?

For the EU what is a 'medical device' is pretty well described in 93/42/EEC which is the law describing the medical CE process (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLE...)

There are quite a bit of edge cases though, so the definition of medical device actually has a guidance document that gives a bit more context (http://ec.europa.eu/DocsRoom/documents/10278/attachments/1/t...).

I worked producing software that segmented images produced by a medical imaging device. The software would be built-in but it was the kind of thing one could have also have done exporting the images to Photoshop.

Segmentation software could certainly be considered a medical device if it has a medical purpose. For instance, if the segmentation is used to produce a diagnosis or a measurement. If you would like to sell it to medical professionals you would be required to have a medical CE for the software. Photoshop might have the same functionality, but it does not have a medical CE, so in principle it should not be used by medical professionals.

What does 'failure' mean in this statistic. Does failure always mean a catastrophic failure (i.e. the recent SpaceX launch) or are failures also rockets not leaving the platform?

I would think that a >5% failure rate is surprisingly high for something we have been doing more than 70 years.

I am pretty sure Facebook also makes a friend suggestion to you when the other person searched for your name or looked at your profile at any time in the past. Maybe your neighbor searched for your name after you gave your phone number to them.

Some reputable bank should chase this guy to work in their regulatory affairs.

I doubt he will ever find a job in this field again.

If you show such 'disloyalty' towards your employer you will be tainted forever. Companies, especially banks, do not want to run the risk of having their dirty laundry exposed (both legal and illegal dirty laundry). If there is any hint that you cannot look away when questionable things are happening there is no chance you will get hired.

The Financial Times has an article about three Wallstreet whistleblowers (including the Deutsche guy): http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/ce216134-e6c7-11e3-9a20-00144feabd...

I think that is just the sound of your muscles tensing. I hear it too when I clench my jaw muscles, at the same time I hear a louder version of my tinnitus. So at least for me they are distinct sounds.
