<p>Recently it's failed to find functions by verbatim search name within single project searches.  I am pretty sure it used to function better than this.</p>

<p>The bank was nearly fully capitalized with low risk investments.  Everyone would have gotten their money back <i>anyways</i>, it would have just taken 5-10 years.<p>Imagine what would happen if startups could not access their capital?  By the time funds were available for withdrawal, the businesses would be dead.  The regulators then have to track every funder to every dollar to return money.  It would take a decade for this to happen.</p>

<p>I didn't see catch this part, but having 10 notes over 4 octaves is not out of the question.  If all of those notes are rhythmic, that could be a challenge.  All of the fairly wide chords I saw could be played either with sustain or could be easily substituted with spread chords.<p>Pop pianists don't usually play what's exactly on the page.</p>

<p>Hey all!  This is the first in a series of 'recipes' I am writing demonstrating how to use `systemd-nspawn`/`machinectl` to containerize services for either production or development.<p>I'm personally optimistic about Kafka'a new KRaft protocol and am excited to see it gain independence in the ecosystem, so I started here.<p>If anyone finds these interesting or helpful, I would be curious to hear what other `systemd-nspawn` style containerization examples people would like to see!</p>

<p>Today Zipcar sent me an e-mail stating:<p>> Thank you for being a Zipcar member. We’re writing to let you know we’re moving your account to our $7 standard monthly plan and retiring your previous membership plan. This change should be reflected in your next billing cycle, but it may be a few cycles before it shows up on your account.<p>That is, Zipcar is automatically changing me from a $0/month plan to $7/month plan.  And they provide no "Cancel my account" feature on their site.<p>Is this even legal?</p>

<p>Some societies believe it is acceptable to judge people based on their appearance.  Arguably, most people do it instinctively.  It is just that in America it was deemed illegal.  I know there's an epidemic of plastic surgery taking place in some Asian cultures - people getting cosmetic surgery so that they can be employable.<p>Right or wrong, that is how some societies are functioning.</p>

<p>Why is showing your child a professional boundary?  Different phases of life necessitate different accomodations.<p>This person is advertising their priorities upfront.  Startups might see it as a weakness.  Established companies might see it as a sign of stability.<p>LinkedIn is a historical anomaly anyways.  It's generally considered bad form to include any photo on a technical resume.</p>

<p>It probably helps that Julia and Fortran are both column major.<p>When interfacing with C languages, that can be a big penalty (depending on the complexity of the algorithm).<p>It will probably take two generations of developers to make this happen, but well worth it.  When I was studying atmospheric science I tried to understand OpenWRF (weather research forecasting) and the barrier was too high... And I had programming experience, imagine those with none!<p>An open source project is only as useful as it is accessible to it's average developer base.</p>

<p>I really hope they do not do this.  In and of itself it is not a problem, Ruby code is perfectly readable when the style is consistent.<p>Software developers are often stubborn.  The main result of this change will be a mess of code which follows a mix of <i>all</i> the styles.  That removes one of the greatest beauties of the Python ecosystem, that there is a "right way" to do things.</p>

<p>This presumes that the truth is knowable and you could know it.<p>Mathematics tells you what is <i>not possible</i>, but it tells you nothing about what exists.  Every other discipline is separated from truth by bias in observation.  And there are no perfect observers.<p>So, pushing "truth" is really pushing a specific perception.<p>That said.. you <i>can</i> fight against "false".</p>

<p>It is possible to SIMD parallelize multiple linear problems when you can guarantee convergence of each subproblem and compute iterative bounds.<p>But sure, SIMD is no panacea.  Especially when the latency between the vector instruction shares transistors with the previous instruction.</p>
