A friend of mine who did a few movies in the 2000s told me she felt much more violated by the paperwork for the required record keeping than she did having sex on camera.

OP wants the opposite; they're converting from double to long.

I suppose it's possible that in one case the device had USB Restricted Mode off, but it was on in the Pensacola case?

I got a used one (now ~4 years old) about a year ago. I've mostly liked it. It's true that interior quality isn't as good as traditional car makers at the same price point. The leather surfaces are kinda plastic looking. The

Have you considered just bundling a JVM at distribution time? This is how apps like IntelliJ work.

Not an expert at all; I just read the paper. The paper suggests it's about a few things, like the opioid epidemic, increased binge drinking, and more reporting from coroners.

Paper: https://doi.org/10.1111/acer.14239 A few notes: - It's comparing absolute, not per-capita, numbers. The US drinking age population is up >20% since 1999, so that accounts for some of this rise. - The pap

Reminds me of Sony purposely crippling their MP3 players so they didn't cut too much into their CD player business and album sales.

ML seems like a great approach for compiler optimizations, as hand-written heuristics have become almost unmaintainably complex. As the paper mentions, reinforcement learning could be even more powerful. The biggest barrier to deploying thi

Ignore the benchmark for a moment; the original issue is that a real program (the game Rage 2) uses spin locks, and experiences really terrible hangs on Linux and not on the other kernels. What he wanted was for that to not happen. The upsh

I still don't understand how they're defining total compensation. Federal taxable wages, like what shows up on your W-2? Or the amount you're promised including RSUs, regardless of vesting schedule?

Yeah Linus is correct here, he's just not directly addressing why it works on some other schedulers.

They're talking past each other. Malte is really saying that yield() does what he wants on Windows and BSD, and Linus is giving a bunch of excuses for why Linux doesn't work that way.

It's a different programming paradigm. Libdispatch is really meant to be a form of coroutine-oriented asynchronous serialization. It can be used for synchronous locking but it's not particularly good at it.

Note that all of the locks tested here are unfair, which is why they all show very high waiting variance. Until recently many mutex implementations aimed for fairness, which made them much slower than spinlocks in microbenchmarks like this.

All three have few doctors compared to other rich countries. In the UK and Canada there are price controls which means this is bad for doctors but good (well, cheap) for patients. In the US this scarcity just means exorbitant pay for doctor

I mean doctors. Cost of medical care is directly attributable to doctors enforcing a cartel of care availability.

There's no real fix for this outside of a banning providers from billing patients directly. As long as there is any legal route to people paying expenses directly, doctors will find sneaky ways to trick people into doing that.

How is it screwing over Sonos? The credit can only be spent on new Sonos equipment. Or are you talking about the OP's company, who is cashing on people's desire to recycle?
