How does this improve on RFC 4180? (I only _wish_ excel and many other parsers behaved predictably like that RFC, but it is a decent proposal. )

6 hour days? Fire her.

It take 5-7 years just to get a patent at the moment, the patent system is so backed up. (personal experience, I have 2 and have 4 more in the process)...

The other problem with Android is due to sideloading and app hacking, the best pro level apps (which are expensive for apps) have mostly chosen to avoid Android rather than experience high levels of piracy the last time I researched it. (KORG Gadget for example doesn’t exist on Android)

I say no. I use my iPhone heavily as a synth or guitar processor etc. Bluetooth latency is too high to make it useable wirelessly so I require a hardwire into a mixer to perform. The iPhone has the lowest latency audio stack of smartphones when used with a wire. This is important and removing the headphone jack means dongles or latency. What makes this especially bad is that the iPhone camera connector dongle is already required when plugging in many MIDI controllers. This has prevented me from upgrading beyond my 6s as many of my apps are challenged without a real-time audio output that doesn’t also use my lightning connector which I need for the camera connector.

No, NMSU main campus is over the Organ mountains to the west in Las Cruces. (I graduated from there...) Alamogordo has a small branch-college-sized piece of NMSU.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the parents had 'good' insurance and the Mayo saw a way to milk it to the lifetime maximum. Don't let 'em go until you milk 'em dry...

Disgusting behavior.

Do you mean none of them predicted the web?

We were already calling it the internet when I started college in 88 and after all, it ran on TCP/IP(the latter stands for Internet Protocol) which ARPANET adopted in 1983.

That’s me, indeed. I haven’t touched the site in forever. Should probably move it to github.

Awesome, the Z-Code Infocom game interpreter is derived from the one I wrote/maintained back in the mid 1990s! :)

But high school sucks everywhere... (looking at my, and my own 2 kid's experiences when they were in)

I work on a large enterprise software product. We support Emperor dating (since the long gone legacy product from the late 1970s), and it is used, I just don't know how widely or for what reasons.

Correlation doesn’t imply causation. People with higher IQs self select for more education and are exposed to more eco-philosophy as a consequence.

Also, people with higher IQ self select for higher paying jobs and are better able to afford the more expensive vegetarian lifestyle.

Also, IQ is linked to better nutrition and educational opportunity and having parents of a higher economic class with likely higher IQ so again the higher in economic standing your parents are, the more likely you will be presented with environments that will teach vegetarianism.

(That said, as a high IQ person with all those advantages, I still eat meat some of the time.)

Reading further, this link is a fucking ad for cover.

Paywalled. Any other source?

Rule 4 regarding unsigned long is a horrible example as Windows keeps them as 32 bits on 32/64 bit compiles while UNIXes vary between 32 and 64 bits depending on compile mode making unsigned long a disaster of portability across platforms and bitnesses.

Stopped reading at that point as this article doesn’t deal with EBCDIC platform portability either... so overlooks the entire IBM main and minicomputer/OS400 market as well. And I say this as one who writes code on all of the above that does Unicode internally but one still has to interface with the OS.

Anyway. There is a LOT more to portability than what is written here.

This was me. Now I think I’ll give Use and Player a chance again. Thanks!

Would have been nice if they mentioned the quarter-turn metric, and hadn't said "moves" then, which in speedcubing almost always refers to face turns. Especially when the article they linked to was regarding face turns as well.

Both of course are mentioned at cube20.org ... http://www.cube20.org/

Inaccurate article on one point - they say that in 2014 it was proved the smallest number of moves to solve is 26... but in 2010 it was proven to be 20 moves actually. [1]. (And the article they linked to was from 2008 anyway and said that 25 moves was the max needed as of 2008 best knowledge)

They probably were referring to the "quarter turn metric" which is 26 quarter-turn moves, but "moves" in speedcubing almost always refers to face turns. And this is made more confusing by the article since the article they linked to was regarding face turns as well.

Both of course are mentioned at cube20.org [2]...

I love this guy's stuff. I have his Max plugin for MaxForLive in Ableton and it is a blast to play with.

I believe that in the US if they think you might look under 18, they generally ask because certain federal and state laws kick in relating to child labor.

"Bluetooth audio is not that great" -- that used to be true, but not anymore with the modern editions of the standard and its implementations. I can't really tell a difference anymore.

I also have >$100 bluetooth headphones, so that actually is one of the biggest factors in sound quality and lack of cutting out -- the $20 ones off Amazon etc sound not bad, have cutting out issues, etc.

There is also someone to sue if things go badly wrong.

As someone who grew up during the Cold War and interned at Los Alamos Natl. Lab (including occasional work in the plutonium facility) I fail to be moved by what seems to be overwrought reaction to me. Seems Google could help make things be deployed more responsibly than might otherwise happen without them.

There are bad guys out there. Help make the tech great at not accidentally involving people who aren’t the bad guys.

I know it isn’t a popular view, but the Categorical Imperative implies that, if without Google’s help the system deployed would falsely harm innocents who might have been spared, Google would be responsible for having pulled out.

Paywall. Other link?

I make my coffee at home. Sustainable shade grown fair trade coffee in my parts costs $15.50 a pound. 17g of coffee for a cup is $0.58 per cup. So for sustainable coffee you are off by an order of magnitude.

Not possible due to established C/C++ Windows codebases.

The irony of this article to me is that the Aeropress paper filters restore the brightness the author found missing when using the mesh filters.

Read pretty far and still no talk about what Yippies or Zippies believe, giving no ground for conflict. I’m not a New Yorker and at almost 50, I’m still too young to ‘just know’.
