I don't think I understand the question. Generators are CMake's way of creating IDE-specific build files, and I wish that people used them instead of writing their own scripts to create IDE-specific build files from CMake. Generat

Nice to see a CMake guide here, but I don't see any discussion of generators at a cursory glance, even in the "IDEs" section. CMake is used a lot in embedded development with large or cross-platform projects, like an RTOS or

Censorship is like whack-a-mole. The format won't prevent you from getting beaten with a pipe when the cops find out, but it can still help to distribute information through a variety of forms. There's an old resistance method of

Homeland security did used to watch games like WoW out of concern that terrorists used it to communicate; I dunno if that's still a thing with the rise of encrypted messaging platforms, though. The same idea came up in the movie Four

Ah, that makes sense - thanks. I guess that's just for Cortex-A ARM cores? I was hoping to try a lean language like this on a fast micro like the new Teensy boards, but I suppose those kinds of chips probably aren't used very much

Hm. Good point, I guess you couldn't easily clean up things like local memory allocations from a common exception handler, huh? Oh well, they can't all be winners.

These languages come up here every now and then; they look very interesting, but it also seems like they must be very heavily optimized to be as fast as they are. So, sorry if this is a dumb question, but does K run on architectures other t

I wonder why callbacks aren't a more popular way for languages to handle exceptions. What if each type of exception registered a weak link to a function with a name like `IOExceptionHandler` which prints a noisy error if it isn't

Yeah, how does that work? Are kindergartners capable of understanding what 'online' means? Do they have school-issued chromebooks yet, or does that wait until elementary school? Maybe the teachers just email activities to the pare

I'm with you, it seems like it would be good for everyone if we created job programs with the simple stated purpose of employing people, instead of funneling busy-work jobs through pork-barrel spending. The people doing the work could

Probably not; it's basically a massive jobs program to employ the otherwise unemployable, and furloughing them all would twist the knife into the economy because most TSA agents are in income brackets that stop spending when their pay

Fair enough, but I still believe that imprisonment absent a conviction or pretrial flight risk should not be allowed. I hope that in the future, we will see these sorts of situations like we see debtor's prisons today. Another abhorren

No, I don't believe so; the whole point of a jury is to verify that a single authority figure's decision to imprison someone is not invalid. If a judge wants someone imprisoned for a valid legal reason, they should be able to get

I would believe that there are legal precedents for unilaterally detaining someone for an indefinite period of time. But I also believe that it is a clear violation of the 6th and 8th amendments to indefinitely detain someone without a tria

And has a jury convicted her of that crime? No.

Please don't misgender people; it's rude, like intentionally calling someone by the wrong name. And Chelsea is not serving a sentence for committing a crime; like the article states, she is being detained indefinitely for refusing

I actually really like the OpenSCAD language; I've even started to prefer OpenSCAD to Fusion360 for sketching ideas in recent years. It is very easy to import modules for operations like threaded holes or gear teeth, and it feels very

I think and hope that's less likely, but it would still be bad for the markets in the short term either way. I don't think that failing to test people in order to artificially reduce "the numbers" will keep the markets a

Especially since the number of "confirmed" cases is extremely limited by the number of tests. The infected numbers will rise precipitously as testing rolls out, and the apparent growth rate will freak people out and roil the marke

by leggomylibro 7y ago
You can both be right. Maybe we live in a time of unprecedented access to education and affordable materials, which is also a time of extreme inequality and selective enforcement that grinds most people into the dust.

Yes, for most people it isn't much to fear. Even children seem to fare well. But since it is very contagious and dangerous to the elderly, it's still a good idea to distance yourself from at-risk groups. The panicked overreaction

See, there's the mass panic I was talking about. We're not expecting an asteroid or a tsunami, people can still buy groceries in South Korea / Italy / Wuhan / etc... Sure you should stock up on essential medicines t

Yeah, it's pretty clear by this point that the virus has been spreading widely in the States for some time. Such is life. Just wait until they actually start testing people in earnest; the infected numbers will skyrocket in a very shor

Haha, right? I remember writing my first bot on reddit; it was named after Obama, and it made rate-limited "You're welcome!" comments to all of those "Thanks, Obama" eyerolls during his first term. Someone else quic

Are they different from the consumer's perspective? It seems like adding a small amount of information to a blank page and removing a large amount of information from a full page can have the same result. In programming terms: ( 0xFF &

Sorry to be flippant, but: https://www.edx.org/ They already do that. It's not quite "LIVE", but it's close. When you sign up for a certificate, you take the course along with a cohort of other students

Boston has had confirmed cases for quite some time; about 70 of them came from the same conference meeting. The area's "patient zero" event happened like a week ago.

Gotta love ESP32s, huh? It's great to see more affordable "commodity-style" boards with some extra radios built in. This looks like a very cool project - I might pick up a few of those 'T-beam' boards and see if som

I think that hybrid buses have been doing this for a long time. They have big supercapacitors on the roof which buffer the rapid charge from regenerative braking and use it to recharge the battery or provide energy for acceleration. The pro
