So what happens if the EU and UK don't reach an agreement before the article 50 time limit expires? It doesn't make sense that the UK just gets to do what they like, otherwise they wouldn't need to negotiate at all.

Because the EU could then reject those terms and not having a trade deal would be vastly more damaging to the UK than the EU.

Isn't that actually the opposite of "ironic", then?

Publish too early and you get people assuming that you're a crank because you haven't done the research yet.

I believe the choice was to spend time on adding C99 support, vs spending more time on C++ support. C++ had more people asking for it, so it got priority over C99.

From what I've read it's not a legal issue, it's a "huge amount of money needed to get thorium reactors to where they need to be" issue. Nobody is really interest in putting up that money because current modern reactors are "good enough" - all the problems with nuclear plants tend to come from old, bad ones that are decades behind the state of the art.

We're getting close to this - you can buy graphics cards that plug into a PCI Express port on a laptop, for example. But the hardware's not quite there yet.

Presumably the "real" auth will be at the end of the project, which means it could still fail. This is also the case with kickstarter projects right now - typically a few % of your pledges fail and you can't collect the money from them.

Yeah, we tried this on our product forums and it didn't really help at all. :(

And we just got approved! Took ~2 hours.

I'm very curious too! If it takes anything more than a day to get an app review, this tool is going to be pretty useless for us. :(

I've submitted an update to our app to external app review, so hopefully I'll have more information soon. [Update: Now "In Review", for what that's worth.]

Yep.

It's a lot of code to write, but extremely understandable when you come back to read it a year later and wonder "what the heck do the parameters to this function do?"

I assumed the fridge was more about "make sure the microphone can't pick up anything from outside" than blocking radio signals.

Some interesting facts about this vote:

* 16 & 17 year olds were allowed to vote in this referendum, although they aren't normally able to vote in British elections.

* Turnout was extremely high, 80-90%.

* Anyone who lived in Scotland past a certain date (I believe) could vote, even people who were English or otherwise not-Scottish. Makes sense, in a way - if you live there it's your country too.

* The opinion polling always had "No" in the lead up until the very end, but there was some suspicion that the polls were inaccurate. I guess not!

As an expatriate Scot, hopefully this results in some additional devolved powers for the Scottish government.

I assume the baseball thing was his requirement to sign off on this, or an attempt to placate him...

If it snows a lot, wouldn't you also have battery life problems because of the cold?

You should only really use "auto" when the type is clear (like in your example #2). If it's not clear, you should probably specify the type so that it's more obvious what's going on. #1 and 3 are probably fine if x is defined right above y, but maybe not if they're at the bottom of a long function or similar.

As I understand it, Google and Apple did things like sandboxing in different ways for Chrome and Safari, and so there was a lot of code in both projects that could be ripped out once the alternate way of doing things didn't need to be supported any more.

Other services (like spotify) have tended to have clauses in their licenses saying something like "If you get acquired, the deal is cancelled and you have to renegotiate it" so that the record companies can prevent exactly this from happening. I would be surprised if Beats doesn't as well.

That means that it doesn't matter if Apple (or anyone else) buys someone who already has a deal - the previous terms go away and the record companies get to start the negotiations all over again.

What, so you spoof your client so you can get a version that's unusable in your browser because of its poor feature support? That doesn't sound like a great idea.

Every new story about this makes Mt. Gox look worse. Now they're not even competent enough to steal them or have them stolen, they just lost a hundred million dollars?

Maybe it's a US thing, but why does "teenagers starting later" mean that your 5 and 7 year old have to be awake so early?

"Tesla said it has “definitively determined” that the Toronto fire did not originate in the battery, the charging system, the adapter or the electrical receptacle, noting that these components were untouched by the fire."

So... what exactly did catch fire?

It's great that he apologized, but I think it shows how crappy things are that such a decision was made in the first place. An outstanding Q4, and yet they were planning to take benefits away from employees? That doesn't seem very "employee-first" to me.

You know you can disable the ribbon so it's not shown unless you click the "drop" it like you would a menu, right?

Depends what you mean by "better". UTF-8 generally ends up using fewer bytes to represent the same string than UTF-16, unless you're using certain characters a lot (e.g. for asian languages), so it's a candidate, but it's not like you could just flip a switch and make all javascript use UTF-8.

I assume he means the key management window in the BIOS - UEFI BIOS interfaces are pretty wacky and complex these days.
