I just graduated from UTCS this past May.

It's completely true that UT's CS program teach you real world programming. But that's completely besides its purpose. UT's CS program is about the fundamentals. Every required CS course teaches knowledge and concepts that stand the test of time.

The required part of the degree is about 1/3 programming, 1/3 theory, and 1/3 computer architecture. The purpose of the degree isn't to teach you how to run a business, how to run a web stack, or even how to work in the corporate world. It's about learning the fundamentals of Computer Science.

I completely sympathize with the author. The whole time in UTCS I was thinking, "This isn't going to help me run a startup. I don't need this degree. Am I wasting my time?". But in the end, I realized that learning these fundamentals made be a better programmer overall.

I don't know who claimed CS programs were supposed to teach students how to run startups, but in my honest opinion, UT has a very good CS program.
Oh, I must have missed that. Good for Frederick. Their new business of providing prison local phone numbers for families out of state to use was genius. That probably saves inmates so much money in long distance calls. I'd guess that the vast majority of inmates are incarcerated far from their home and family.
It's still true for compilers -- for instance gcc 10 had a greater than 10% perf improvement for AArch64 targets compared to gcc 9 as a result of various optimisation work: https://community.arm.com/developer/tools-software/tools/b/t...
We don't really know yet how far the virus can mutate and stay highly infectious. We could get lucky and be able to use the current vaccines for a long time, or we might need to rework them pretty soon (it's already being done or course, but we don't know how necessarily it will be to deploy the modified vaccines).
I don't know if you're a kid or really trolling on Xmas? I'll bite shortly, to be polite.

≈>>One gives, the other receives. One gets something, the other lose something. Addition, subtraction.

Please look up the definition of "zero sum game". Then realize that modern economy really isn't one. Most people are winning, in the present world.

Exceptions are people in countries with conflict or with corrupt/dictatorial regimes.

>>There are 2 things I learned in life so far:

>>2) Money is the root of all evil.

How about learning something from history?

Start by reading some books about poor people's lives and how it feels to bury your kids.

People die today, because of lack of food. Children still get organ damage (including brain) from too little food.

The point is, below a certain level of money/resources, life gets bad. Everyone should be happy that an increasing part of humanity can go away from that.

Please go look at Hans Rosling on TED:

>>As of today, the world has more problems than it was. Eliminate one, then two or more problems will arise.

For my information, how would you describe someone that has a total lack of sense of size of problems?! Someone that confuses losing money on a stock market crash -- with seeing your loved ones die young from treatable diseases?

(And I'm not arguing everything is better than it used to be.)

Absolutely agree. Whenever you google for installing ruby on Ubuntu you get the package version. Also Linode's guides use the packages. RVM offers a nearly effortless solution to manage your rubies - and more importantly manage gemsets which is an awesome feature.

Although I had to install more dependencies to get everything to work. I don't remember exactly what problems I had without some of the dependencies, but I had compiled them here: http://rohitarondekar.com/articles/installing-rails3-beta3-o...
Side note: I think you might want to temper some of the advice from local Americans here with finding a group of folks from a similar background at your school ... and getting advice from them.

As a local I think our understanding of what you might find strange or confusing, is probably a bit off.

Other folks who have made that move might better understand where you're coming from.
I think you would be surprised to find out how many local stores simply resell from Cosco.
> because "kids don't get sick from it" (ignoring any long-covid repercussions, which seems foolish to me)

If one reads the actual studies about "long COVID" (and not sensationalistic media reports that leave all the nuances out), they often emphasize that severity of post-COVID symptoms correlates quite neatly with severity of illness. Because younger people rarely have severe illness, that means the risk of long-term symptoms is very low for them. Not zero, of course, but low as with many other common illnesses for which major societal restrictions are not imposed.

People might be tempted to jump in with "But my friend who got COVID...!", but please don't, this is irresponsible in a scientific context. All those people before COVID who claimed to have chronic Lyme disease, doctors tell us, likely didn't, and long-COVID self-reporting and anecdotes is the same thing.
Sure, but they could also give me some idea of what the core product costs without my specific tweaks
Not supporting a browser, games, or a media player IS the killer feature for anyone with ADHD or other focus issues.

There are lots of us out here.

Some even people do their deep work on a separate airgapped computer just to preserve their focus.
Can you go to the middle of Cambodia (Tonle Sap) where there's no electricity and buy fish with bitcoin? You can't.... and my use case is a lot more realistic than yours.
If you say you might be able to in a few years, then I can argue you might be able to open up as many accounts as you want at that time.
"For me, F# is a beautiful, goldilocks language that has both the expressiveness and elegance of Python/Ruby and the strictness/compile-time safety of a statically-typed language, all backed by the .net ecosystem. There's also low ceremony to get things done in F# and I use it for everyday tasks, like reading CSVs and loading relational databases."

If I replaced F# for Scala in this paragraph it would sum up my feelings about Scala (swapping .net for Java obv).

I'm intrigued by F#, would love to try it one day. I definitely agree about the intersection between DDD and these sorts of FP languages. It's still not fully appreciated how nicely these two things fit together.
By stopping. If it is not possible for you to penetrate a service without causing disruption or harm to others, then you stop. You could reach out to the business and say "hey, you should consider checking this out" or asking if they offer some sort of test system for pentesters. But sometimes the result is just to not proceed at all.
There seems to be a significant lack of open source PaaS as you mentioned. And Dokku is unfortunately a very leaky bucket of abstractions - fun if you're learning docker, annoying otherwise.

This kind of makes sense given how much work it is and how easy it is to monetize as a paid service.
That's an interesting feature and could be helpful for varbinary(max) type columns. But also very annoying because I'd be thinking "Does that column exist or not? Why is it not showing up for me?"
I can't speak to what they actually mean, but not all of the 8800 British cancer cases will die from cancer, so I guess you missed that difference in the sentence.

I'm not sure what your complaint is.

Its turned into shorthand for "seeing objects in space that aren't really there". They could have also gone with "compugraphic hallucinations" or "pink elephant computing".
That's because most healthy people are wrong. There are no risks or dangers worth fearing.
I completely agree that it's a sales vs. HR thing, and that the onus is on the candidate to make themselves appear as the best product on the market.

But something about "expert" really grates on me. I think it's that it is a self-anointed title in nearly all cases. There are legitimately experts in lots of different areas - if you happened to invent IDS, for example, you go right ahead and call yourself an expert. If you happen to have run a bunch of Snort rules across a prod environment for a year or two, you might be "experienced", go on, stretch it to "highly experienced" for all I care, but if you stretch it to "expert" then paint me cynical.
Of course then you have to remember that USSR were allied with Nazis before and at the start of WW2, invaded Poland to start WW2 in 1939 together with them (ok, 16 days later, but the invasion was still taking place), and only started fighting Germany after Hitler betrayed and invaded them in 1941.

So USSR made it possible to start WW2 in the first place, then when it backfired they managed to defend (with big industrial help from the west), and then hit back.

Good for them, but expecting gratitude from people they invaded, mass murdered, "liberated" and then occupied till nineties is just bullshit.

Also USSR casualties really shouldn't be labeled as "Russians". Russians were +- 50% of population of USSR and the fighting mostly took place on Polish, Ukrainian and Belarussian territory, so I'd say it was at most 50% Russians and 50% other nationalities.
Call me unsophisticated, but I personally find it extremely helpful to use a GUI (currently using SourceTree) to interactively review changes before committing. I use the command line for almost everything else, but this is one of those cases where a nice GUI really seems to shine.
> The source that you cited contradicted your claim of 'hidden ballots'. You are a liar.

This is false. You need to also look up the definition of "liar" - it exclusively refers to intentional deception. I did not intentionally deceive you - I just thought that they were hidden when they were not.

You're zero for two while acting in the most malicious way possible. Perhaps try taking a step back and not only looking up words before you use them, but stop assuming the worst about people who disagree with you.
I missed an /s I guess.
Let's go with that theory. Did these right wing cops help the right wing cause by allowing this incident to get out of hand?
T-3 could be analogous to e.g. an asteroid upon which numerous parties have landed. Any built object in which humans might live, however, was built on behalf of a particular party. Everyone onboard was hired by that same party. If you don't like how that party handles incidents of stolen wine, don't hire on.

The people from the next crater over, though, they'll have to approach slowly, in small groups, and only on invitation. If they steal anything they're getting spaced.
If government can control everything then why are we even discussing anything? Clearly this discussion is in the realm of citizens having _some_ free will.

Rather, we're talking about whether or not the government should forcibly allow/deny corporations from supporting extremists. This has nothing to do with government control, imo.
Sweet argument bro. Also, the earth is flat.
nothing about how it works is built into the language, its up to user code/libraries to decide how to do it.

the popular libraries like tokio are using something akin to green threads, though people picky about definitions may not agree to that nomenclature.
Well I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve been cordial and rational in my reasoning and interactions with you. Why does the mention of the fact that the officer’s cause of death was a blood clot provoke such a strong negative reaction?

every apartment/condo/townhome complex I've seen that is larger than 30 units has a "clubhouse", usually located in the same building as the apartment management. They have a full kitchen, large area with 4+ couches, tables and a huge TV. Tenants can book the clubhouse for parties/meetings for free. As I understand it, they're very rarely used, though.
@desiarnezjr is right. It is painful for merchant to receive a chargeback. Merchants need to dispute the chargeback by providing sufficient documents. You can refer to https://www.fraudlabspro.com/resources/tutorials/how-to-disp... for those required documents by different payment gateway.
Some questions here:

Is quantitative testing possible especially if you use a colour reference chart to compensate for lighting conditions?

Do you have any measures to prevent the patient from scanning the dip stick too soon?

What processes do you have in place to pick up red flags eg recurrent UTIs, pyelonephritis, urosepsis etc?

What measures do you have in place to ensure appropriate antimicrobial prescribing? This includes managing patient expectations in the event of a positive test result.
Sure. why not?

I know for me personally sometimes I do dumb stuff and could use an email like that.
Look at it from the candidate's perspective: the more voters they represent, the less any individual voter's opinion matters to them. Very similar to the utility of money, the more you have, the less a dollar is worth to you. And the less the individual voter matters, the more monied special interests matter. Money in politics is always a problem, but it's multiplied by the devaluation of the individual voter.
Tangential story: When I was in middle school, we had a computers class where we had a mock stock-buying competition. Each team of 4 students was given a pretend 10,000 dollars to invest in the market, and then we could buy/sell throughout the semester and whoever was left with the most equity would win.

We 7th graders didn't know which company to buy and our teacher told us we had 1 minute left to choose a stock. We looked around the room and I saw the calculator in front of us. "Oh great, let's go with Texas Instruments, TI, everyone has one of their calculators!"...So, we bought $10,000 of "TI", which turned out to be "Telecom Italia", an Italian phone company...

...which actually did REALLY well, we were nationally ranked in the game after a couple of weeks, but TI ended up tanking for whatever reason and we lost in the end.
I was pretty excited when I found a gas station near my house that accepted apple pay at the pump. More often then not I will go there strictly for that reason.
I got into a small argument with someone who claimed his 10year old daughter (5 years ago at this point) wouldn't have to learn how to drive because self driving cars were so close. That they were follow an exponential growth pattern and that a project with exponential growth over 10 years could be halfway finished at year 9 and still finish on time by year 10.

Suffice to say, I am almost certain that his daughter will be learning to drive very soon, and required to drive for years to come.
No, this site does not use any frameworks. We only use jQuery I suppose...
Thanks. I've only just got around to watching these, and they're really very good.
Don't get me wrong. I love runit. Simple and effective. Runs on all my deployments, which is a lot nicer than rc scripts for FreeBSD (which isn't really comparable anyway), Upstart for Ubuntu, this for this and that for that.

Consistency is nice.

Just never figured out how to get it to start on boot in FreeBSD (it's not just runsvdir_enable="YES").

Or when you'd like to be able to DM them. It would need to be coupled with very active following to be a spammer tactic. Don't assume malice when other explanations suffice.
There's Landsat data, that requires a bit of processing, and some low-res Blue Marble GeoTIFFs. For very small subsets, we're also really interested in kite mapping by grassrootsmapping: http://grassrootsmapping.org
I think there is value in Myspace, definitely, but they need to take the site in a new direction. Why this wasn't done years ago I'm not quite sure...
Really cool. Is this in Django?
and yet 10s of thousands of people make games in a new hours in Unity. Go see all the game jam games.

So no, Unity is not "too complex" and it's very suitable for hobby use.
Mainly OneNote, I have work notebook on the work account and a private one on my personal account.

Google Keep works better on mobile for small, on the go, notes though
Yes, the mobile interface (touch interface) is the least developed.

I am one of the few persons left in this world who still uses a dumbphone. My laptop is my primary gadget.

But pull requests with a better touch interface would of course be welcome :)
I think any subject will be much deeper than your current superficial language of it is once you dive into it; the STEM fields are one of course, but otoh there's for example my girlfriend who is / was a gardener, which is something many people pull their noses up at because it's just menial work involving a shovel and a lawnmower right? Except it's not, you get to deal with the wonderful worlds of soil composition, soil ecosystems, drainage / hydraulics, microbiology, entomology, lots of Latin, geometry and measurements, and in her case, running a business as well so financial administration and tax laws and the like.

TL;DR I think you vastly underestimate other fields of study because you've never looked into or considered them. I get that you're in awe of this particular page and want to express it, but be aware that you kinda come across as dismissive of everything that isn't electrical engineering or your own particular field of study.
>> Ships < Trains < Trucks < Aircraft

This is true by approximate order of cost, but it does not show how large the differences are. Trucking can be up to 10X, an order of magnitude, more expensive than train by unit of mass. Air freight can be another similar jump in costs. The cost difference between maritime and rail is marginal by comparison, 10s of percent. Maybe.

This also doesn’t take into account that rail can be easily electrified and even fully automated with limited labor needed, which would radically alter the operating cost structure. The technology to do this has existed for a long time (over a century in the case of electrification), it is a solved problem, but it requires prioritizing and making public investments just like the other forms of transportation.

There are also big differences in the average speed of the different modes. Ships are the slowest by far, taking about a month to cross oceans. Aircraft are the fastest on long distances. Trains and trucks are in between, but are inherently land-based so generally aren’t comparable to the others for intercontinental shipping, except for this Eurasian shipping case. Rail can occupy a unique Goldilocks sweet spot in mechanized transport, with costs competitive to maritime, yet offering performance competitive to roads and air.

Re Airships: I agree this is an area where government and industry has sorely neglected. After the crashes of the Hindenburg, USS Macon, and USS Akron in the 1930s, govt/industry just gave up on it despite our understanding of aeronautics and materials science being far more advanced. There is the Airlander airship project in Britain, but I’d like to see a lot more research and investment in this area.

It seems theoretically possible to create a Lighter Than Air (LTA) aircraft with helium (possibly hydrogen), cover it with flexible lightweight solar panels, battery pack, and distributed electric thrusters. It could have all electric power and propulsion systems with extreme endurance and range, theoretically unlimited minus scheduled maintenance, if the performance curves of those core technologies continue to improve. In addition to cargo, it could be a platform for telecom (cell tower in the sky), air cruises, various defense/security use cases, various atmospheric/oceanic and climate/metrological and earth observation/remote sensing use cases, etc.
> microservices drastically reduce complexity and mental overhead of working with a system

If you only need to understand and maintain one of them, sure.

That would be extremely rare though. You have to understand the entire system and all the interaction between all the parts. At which point the 10x complexity of excessive microservices will kill you.
I like and use Element, but the crypto workflow is way too complicated for non technical users and the UX is nowhere near what's app or Telegram.

I have more hope for other clients like Fluffychat.
Yeah, these apartment hunting services (the ones in which they drive you around for free and get paid the first month's rent by the unit's owner) do extremely well and seem to be far more popular than Craigslist. Also, they are the ones on Craigslist over-saturating the listings in the hopes that they can show you an apartment and if you don't like it, they can easily take you to see more.

There is so much overlap because the apartment finders (working on commission) are all posting the same listings they grab off the MLS. This seems ripe for innovation as the redundancy and non-existent barriers of entry make for a very ineffective system.
Flagged since fake == complete waste of time in this particular case.
he considered buying a collection of "one-minute bedtime stories"

I realized I had a problem when I would not even have the patience to listen to an entire song on my MP3, always flicking through tracks after 30 seconds at most.

To counter this, I picked up a thick and difficult book to read in the evenings (Infinite Jest), and now own a collection of the Oxford University Press "A Very Short Introduction" series to read on public transport. I highly recommend these snippets of knowledge, perfect pocket size and always well written.
This isn't particularly germane or relevant, but this reminded me of that episode of Weeds...

I had a similar experience. I'm based in the UK so I have my computer set up to use a UK keyboard layout. One time, I decided to use the # symbol in my Windows password. The next time I tried to log in to Windows, my password was rejected. I eventually discovered that Windows was using a US keyboard layout until I logged in, meaning that # was in a completely different location on the keyboard and I was typing a completely different character. Of course, there's no option to actually see your password while you type it so it took me a long time to realise that I had to type shift-3 to get that character. I'm used to getting £ when I hit shift-3, that being the pound sign that we user over here.
Pessimise roads because people cannot stick to basic rules? That's silly. Instead, take away their ability to drive if they can't do it responsibly.

If an ambulance has to go that way, you'd want that to be able to drive fast.

Also, people can drive poorly on any type of road.
Anyone know if podman has an equivalent to `docker buildx` yet? Right now I use docker a lot to build arm images to deploy on e.g. Raspberry Pis.
Potentially a misdemeanor. Big waste of your time and money, with potential career impacts.
