What does that happen to do with right now? Is your position that mail-in voting coercion is happening on a scale large enough to be a real threat or matter? What evidence to you have for this?
214.
by optimiz3 6y ago
Is this a realistic threat? Mail-in and absentee ballots could also have theoretical coercion issues but in reality many states exclusively use mail-in voting without issue.

Annotations are great as long as the consuming framework reflects the annotations exactly once for JIT/bookkeeping. Often the people I see who hate annotations are invoking reflection (explicitly or implicitly) in critical code paths.

It's the whole equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome argument all over.

Doctors don't typically have bosses directing how they treat patients; Doctors have full agency, front line grunt workers do not.

IMO this whistle needs to be blown because as who knows how many dangerous engineers, doctors, or whatever other safety critical professions are being graduated.

If we're so concerned about the Tesla factory to the point of contemplating shutdowns, how do we feel about the scenes of bars and beaches filled with people all over the US?

Laws tend to lag technological capabilities. There have been rapid developments in lethal and non-lethal methods of force. Policy is needed for when it may be difficult to update laws and more agility is needed. There's a balance.

> No REIT drops rents; instead, they offer "$0 deposit", "no rent for the first 45 days", etc. Is this true in markets where people can legally squat for months? Or as in Seattle where landlords are required to indis

> why haven't we been in lockdown every year until this deadly scourge has been exterminated? Probably because 700k/year is globally, while the US alone has suffered 100k deaths in 3 months.

Replace the information with that of a SDN (Specially Designated National)* if you really want to cause trouble! *Don't actually do this unless you want a visit from a 3 letter agency.

Perhaps some sort food detection software that returns "Hotdog" or "Not Hotdog" could be repurposed for this.

Updated my post - I had forgotten C++/WinRT discarded the ^ syntax as we skipped C++/WinRT for our development as it suffers from many of the same problems of C++/CX.

by optimiz3 6y ago
Coding in C++/WinRT (similaly, C++/CX) is in my experience a major mistake when targeting WinRT/UWP using C++. The primary use case for WinRT/UWP is making apps for the Microsoft Store, where most of the time you'r

Doing it wrong. Your business buys the conference tickets, travel, and some of the lodging. You stay for an extra week. All you pay for is the hotel. Business expenses offset revenue reducing profit and in turn taxes.

Surprised no one has said it so I will: conferences provide a business deductible way to have a nice vacation. Witness how many conferences are in Vegas/Hawaii etc.

Part of it is software is so valuable energy and hardware costs often don't matter. On the other side, my business has fairly narrow margins. When we find a performance improvement it's a near 1:1 cost reduction, so our code has

Author really needs to put the assembly under a profiler. Others have mentioned things like poor instruction selection (loop). In my experience it's good to first attempt a rewrite in C using intrinsics. This gets you thinking about da

It's pretty simple. Tesla has the best technology right now and likely will for the next few years. Causing Tesla to leave means China loses out on future technology. Ergo, China will likely side with Tesla. Witness the incredible

China would be short sighted to cross Tesla right now. Tesla is way more valuable over the long term. It would ridiculously stupid to cross Tesla for a shitty copy of last year's code. Prediction: The lawsuit will be prosecuted and r

Sometimes it can be a negotiating tactic; there's two sides to every story. Certainly not the same, but I've fired (in my mind unjustifiably) vocally negative customers before. Often said customers realize they need the service a
