Thanks for the tip, started out really interesting!


Even if you don't care about fusion itself, it is highly interesting in that it covers some of the engineering that went into building that thing.


And the guests are perfect. Competent and entertaining at the same time.


That blog entry is well worth reading. It put a smile on my face! :-)


Weird coincidence, that's just what NASA just tweeted:

Since they are an agency of the government, can one ask to get a tweet pulled out as a stamped and verified document?


The federal government has policies that govern retention of social media:

https://records-express.blogs.archives.gov/2017/01/27/record...

> Bulletin 2014-02 informs agencies that content created on social media platforms, including Twitter, is likely to be a Federal record and must be managed appropriately. For records posted on third-party social media platforms, agencies must determine how best to manage the records for the appropriate retention period and capture them where appropriate. Some social media records may be temporary, with a transitory, short, or long-term retention. However, some dispositions may be permanent, requiring the records to be preserved until their eventual transfer to the National Archives.


Nice thanks


No idea what rights you'd have in the US, I'm not a citizen :-)


This screenshot of a NASA tweet is fake


You know that because it is a recent tweet.

Now imagine someone deletes all their old tweets programmatically. Several people have screenshots of an "old" tweet as they allegedly saw and "saved". Who do you believe?

I don’t see that it would make any difference whether they systematically delete there tweets or not. You could still claim it’s missing due to being specifically deleted.


You can’t prove someone didn’t tweet something, but you can prove they did tweet something - if the tweet hasn’t been deleted, which is the common case for people who don’t systematically delete their tweets.


Sure, I thought that was obvious.

In Chrome: right-click, inspect. Edit page source. Done. Less than two minutes, and you don't need to have a tech background to do it.

Never trust screenshots.


Maybe they just want you to think it's a weird coincidence.

;)


If it wasn't for the cats we had when I was a kid, I'd be a different person today :')


I feel like pets are an indispensable friend for a young kid to have.

An animal can teach a child about unconditional love, in a way nothing else really can. And about loss. And really, life itself.


I wish cats lived as long as people. You would meet your kitten when you were a small child and they would be your companion for life. Ours are 17 now, a good age, I am dreading the day :-/


same 4 myself :3

my 1st cat was killed by neighbor's dog when I was 4 years old

life never was the same since then


I'll never forget the day my mother called to tell me that their cat had died in an accident, suffering. I was (technically) grown up then, and it was many years ago, but it still hurts. Writing this hurts :(


It can run using a number of solvers, you can find a list here: http://www.minizinc.org/software.html


Stiftskeller St. Peter is much older, according to this list: before 803.


Maybe the difference is that Stiftskeller offered rooms so it's not technically a restaurant?


The feature is called "intrinsics", this claims to be a list: https://gist.github.com/apangin/7a9b7062a4bd0cd41fcc


Interesting. So do all those functions have assembly implementations or do some of them have c implementations? I'm assuming the list of functions also changes depending on the architecture?


They are implemented in different ways, depending on the instrinsic.

Many are implemented in the in-memory intermediate SSA (?) representation the JVM uses for its JIT, so they essentially get compiled down to assembly at the same time as the surrounding bytecode.

Some are implemented as jumps to various native methods, which in turn might be implemented in C++ or assembly. Most intrinsics are available on most platforms: only some of the hand-coded assembly versions are less likely to have wide support.


What's the mathematical formula that describes a text box GUI item? Languages that look like math might be great for... mathematical problems. But programs are much more than math.


I was confused -- how can a library add a keyword like "coroutine" to C. It didn't look like macros were powerful enough to do that (I expected to at least some context having to be passed to the worker, or so).

It turns out that a coroutine is just a function that the compiler should not inline: https://github.com/sustrik/libmill/blob/master/libmill.h#L24...


Yes, it's just a normal function. What go() macro does is that it switches the stack, then lets compiler-generated code put the args of the function at the top of the new stack. Obviously, if the function was inlined, the above would not work.


I don't follow your examples. How is workout-equipment:gym like uber:taxi-firm?

> non-progressive

I'm not sure what you mean by progress, exactly, but policy simplicity is progress IMHO.
