Visual studio has severe flaws, and is not portable outside of Windows in any convenient fashion. Most embedded systems that are off the shelf come with their own eclipse based IDE (not that eclipse is any good mind you, but it's very commonly used). Both VS and Eclipse require not-quite-there-yet plugins for any embedded development work.
Cops should do their own recording then! There is enough abuse that citizens not only have a right to film the police, they have the duty to do so! If the police are not at fault then they should present their own videos.
Not that it matters, they still get released by juries who can't fathom the concept that police can do wrong. I've been on a jury, there were other jurors during deliberations that said exactly that, they refused to believe that an arrest is ever made in error.
The numbers also don't take into account underemployement - those who used to have good jobs who are now working for drastically reduced wages.
Just look around on the streets and you can see that the economy is crap. I see more homeless in residential areas than I've seen before, more camps under the overpasses, and more people camping in the cars. But then the reports come out saying how great the numbers are!
Reminds me of when I was struggling to find work after college and I'd hear some economist claim that things were great because we were at an optimal employment level that kept inflation low...
It was indeed a lousy election. The DNC just decided to field only one candidate, one with very well known weakness and known to be highly polarizing, although Bernie went against the plan. The RNC had a lot of ho-hum candidates, many of which I would not have minded being president, along with some real nutcases who stole the show. I can remember back to Nixon running, and I've never seen a more screwed up bizarre election than this last one.
Give me a break. CNN has gone way downhill, but it's standard reporting. The problem with it is that they stick in too much fluff reporting and obsessing on the same story over and over. Just stop picking political sides and you'll see that all the stations are equally lousy. CNN and others report on the Russian hacking things because that is what is interesting, and that makes money. The only political bias you have at any station is deciding how to get the most viewers, and that determines which close minded bubble aim for. So the logic here is not "let's run more Russian hacking stories to make Trump look bad", but "people are still watching these stories so keep running them!"
There is apparently good evidence that the Kremlin is supporting these attacks. At the minimum it is definitely calling the malware authors "patriots".
Well ya, it's the thinking that comes from entrepreneurs: come up with a good idea then get other people to make it a reality. So here it's coming up with a process and then letting others figure out how to make the stupid idea work.
I knew a lot of people in high school whose plan was to get married. Honest. Then there were those who stayed home to help care for ailing family.
If they only needed to articulate a plan this would be ok, but to actually have secured a job, training, college, etc, that's suddenly very difficult. The economy sucks right now, and it may very well suck even more in the future if employment rates fall. What do you do if all of your job applications are rejected? You can't even get going on a job while still actively studying in high school, no one's going to let you skip class to go to a job interview, and if you start job hunting early who's going to want to hire someone who can't start until summer?
Then the catch-22 of not being able to get a job without diploma in hand, and can't get a diploma without the job offer in writing.
Maybe best bet if grades are decent is get a spot at a junior college as tuition is still cheap and you don't have to actually attend once you get the high school diploma. But if the grades are good enough to normally graduate from high school, but not good enough to get in a JC (a C- average) then what?
I never heard of a gap year program. Everyone I know who did gap year just did it with no plan and certainly no formal program, and they did the gap year precisely because they had no plan.
Maybe what this requirement will do is increase the number of people taking the GED test.
I'm not criticizing home school or private school. I have friends and family who went through that. Stop making this an us-vs-them argument, everyone should want a decent education for children. But if you disagree with public schools and for some reason think that they're way stops of overpaid and under-performing teachers, then you can take your children to alternatives. I agree that public schools have been going downhill, but the public is being lied to about the reasons, the politicians want you to focus on teachers and not on the administration, and not on disinterested parents, and not on the lack of funding. No one becomes a teacher for a cushy job, it's hard work and it's underpaid.
I'm just fighting back against the anti schools crowd. The reason public schools are so bad is that politics has turned against them, they get funding slashed when possible, and any faults are attributed directly to the teachers alone and never to the administrators or politicians. Never mind the parents no longer getting involved in schools anymore.
Getting a a year or two extra training after an undergraduate degree is not over education, what kind of silly thinking is that? High schools graduates are not qualified to teach. Even Montessori almost always wants a college degree. I seriously can't understand why this anti-education movement has popped up in the last decade.
When we had parents get on our school board as a kid, the first thing they did was to clean up the administration, because as parents they knew the teachers were doing their best.
Blaming the teachers is the easy way out, and it's the way that politicians want you to think.
And in between those two "sides" belong the majority of people. The problem is that the majority aren't represented in a system based on electing the most extreme candidates during the primaries. If you are a member of a political party, then you should be voting for the most moderate elements to get us out of this mess.
I think we should challenge the geography text books. Then these kids will grown up not knowing that there is a world outside of Florida and they can leave the rest of us in peace.
I call it common sense. I don't want uneducated teachers out there. College has been a requirement for public school teachers for many decades. If you want teachers with less education, you can try private schools or home schooling.
Just saying that was one thing that really stood out for me. Even in fictional TV shows, the 50 cal is what you use to shoot through anything. It sort of feels like they tried to find the biggest gun they could.
You can shut down the oil and coal plants. The utilities already do this. There are peaker plants that are on only when the demand gets high (hot days in summer). Yes, we need electricity storage for this sort of thing, and I think the problem is that solar grew faster than expected.
Yup. And this takes the cake. If they had started with a 22, the book may have slowed it down enough to not be fatal, but they started with a 50 cal, the kind of bullet that punch through concrete and steel sheets. They could have tried it out with the book up against a tree or something. But no, they straight for the full deal.
(I've seen this in QA too: "at which voltage did the board explode?", "well, I set it to 230V..."

Hmm, last I used visual studio is was not very good at all.
Arduinos have marketing clout outside of the engineering sphere, so they're to go-to tiny systems for people who do the random search on the web.

It's what slashdot is now. So many of us have adblock on that they've resorted to opening up the firehose to advertisers.
If it's anything like smart phones, where 5 apps out of 5 million are useful, then Alexa probably doesn't even have 1 useful skill.

Tolkien sold rights to the movies only, not rights for Lord of the Rings themed online gambling, which is what the dispute is about, not parodies.
