If you look, there is often a lot of video on the ground of these events, so that you can see beyond a single narrative.

In the same vein, there is a lot of video of what happened in Kenosha leading up to the shootings.

The pressure Wave in front of the moving plane moves away at the speed of sound, so it just stacks up.

Earlier than the 60s. Had to work on a system in the 90s to “transpile” IBM minicomputer code to C.

Useful for accounting since what you see is what you get as far as cents and other decimals go. 1/5, and thus 1/10, can only be approximated in floating point.

Not that I’m defending MySQL

Pardon me if I’m just a little bit creeped out.

I pulled in moment.js 5 years ago for a suite of state death and birth certificate registration apps we are working on.

Due to the amount of “business logic” and small staff size on these, they take years to roll out. I appreciate that this library will “hold still” for a few years.

Not all of us are churning out a new e-commerce app every 3 months. E.g. we replaced the birth certificate app from the 80s, and I expect some version of our app to be around for at least a decade, albeit with patches for new browsers on the front end and new Java app servers on the back end.

I’m not going to argue if it’s a good or bad law, but as written, each state gets to regulate which residents get nothing more than a butter knife, or a nuke, and where the state keeps those things. Arms !== rifles.

Not every app is forced to support terrible connections. We definitely had issues with hung operations until we had a timeout, though there was some disagreement about failing “fast” (10 seconds is “fast”???) vs hanging inexplicably for much longer, but not forever, periods of time.

Edit: when REST calls occasionally failed after 10 seconds, rather than hanging the UI, the support calls stopped. 2 or 3 people a day had to hit submit a second time. They got over it, as opposed to reloading the app/page. This was the most cost effective way for us to handle this.

200 K is a bit below (water) freezing. 400 K is just over boiling. The 400 K object emits 16 times (2 ^ 4) more radiation than the same object at 200 K.

There are a lot of relevant opposing forces in this discussion. Reasonable people can disagree about where in the middle to meet.

How does iMPC compare to something like BeatMaker?

Such as: use of AUs and external MIDI, sequences/scenes/patterns with different tempos or time signatures?

The bit on the App Store video to grab and move a chunk of a pattern looks handy.

E.g., My coworker grabbed a word from somewhere, slapped a cast on it and proceeded to write into it. Hilarity ensues.

All the burden of explicit compile time checking, but no guarantees that anything is what you said it is by the time your coworker uses it. Of course, no computer Run-time is wasted on silly things like type, bounds or null checking, either.

Then I realized it was Haskell zealotry :-(

Ask yourself why dynamic type languages keep appearing, despite a fanatical resolve to purge them from the face of the earth? It’s almost as if some people prefer them.

But I guess the knowledge of salvation by compile time binding must be brought to the late binding heathens, to use a poor analogy.

On the other hand, I’m willing to admit that strict Compile time type checking is what many or most people prefer.

Unclear if they use the auxiliaries as part of the process.

I don’t think it’s that hard to build a vessel full of warm radioactive pebbles to boil water.

Sorting ore by chemical element, and then making a fluid / gas / solution of the fuel element to sort by isotope mass in a centrifuge may or may not be doable for “blacksmith” level technology, though. Hard to say.

If you know that radioactive isotopes exist, it sounds like steampunk, 1850s, level tech could build a power plant, but perhaps not a bomb.

You must complete energy collection on current planet for XP to advance to level 2.

The parent star is masked off, and I’m pretty sure it’s an image generated from multiple telescopes, “interferometry”, as others have mentioned.

I hear you, but I don’t pay for this toy, and the owner(s) run it as they see fit. I do agree with you though that I dislike down voting.

I pulled in moment about 5 years ago into our group’s stack, but we mostly use it for parsing and formatting date (only) strings for date arithmetic. The government vital records forms we are working with seldom deal with time of day, and when they do, it’s an optional string down to minutes resolution only.

I guess all the converting to and from strings coincidentally protected me from mutability. Good to know.

Kidding, but since you mentioned iPad...

A typical scheme was to have a configuration file / script for the linker. You would list one or more blocks, each of which had a list of mutually exclusive .obj files to be swapped in and out as needed. It could be challenging to track dependencies between objects to make sure you never called between modules which were supposed to be mutually exclusive, which was why you sometimes had multiple swap buffers.

Later linkers, or proprietary schemes like in Turbo Pascal version 5, would swap things per subroutine, rather than per compilation unit (.obj file), which was much easier to use.

(I did once see some people make a C function that was literally over 50 printed pages long, and the overlay manager didn’t help them much with OOM, among other problems that thing had)

I guess it’s not too surprising that you would want to keep an eye out for rioting.

Missiles would be a whole new level of messed up, though.

But I like that JS can be a primarily functional, rather than primarily object oriented, language.

Like the post above said, much of the Jet acquisition was likely really just to absorb the IP and expertise, anyway.

That said, we recently ordered some patio furniture from Walmart.com after comparison shopping on Amazon and Home Depot. And I suppose next month we’ll find better deals on yet another site. Don’t get too cozy with any of these companies and keep your eyes open for price and quality drift.

... As long as there is enough interest still in Node to maintain it. Hopefully, there is still interest in running the same language as browsers do, without additional dependencies.

Personally, I would prefer Clojurescript to TS, but not strongly enough to want to be tied to its fate.
