What could cause this change?

What could be different tomorrow compared to the past many thousands of years of wars that will stop wars from happening?

War is pretty simple in the general sense. Limited resources (land being the main one), and selfish people. We have more technology today, yes, but we let the population explode so land resources are still quite limited.

If you're expecting people to just 'wake up' I'm afraid that wont happen now for the same reasons it did not happen in the past.

Cultures ebb and flow. You cannot expect anti-selfishness culture to be a forever-lasting deterrent to war.
Microsoft took almost a year to fix a bug I reported. A year after my initial disclosure, they finally issued an emergency patch for Exchange and gave me a bounty.
There are tradeoffs. The advantage of learning smaller libraries is that you only have to learn what you need. However, the advantage of a monolithic framework is that everything is integrated so nicely that, once you learn the framework, everything kind of "just works", and you don't have to spend time figuring out how to glue everything together. I personally prefer the former approach, but I also understand the appeal of a framework like Angular or Ember that makes all the high-level decisions for you.
I can't tell you how excited I am for this to be commonplace.
It's summer here. Even so, in the morning it's cold. When I get back is hot but I arrive at home and take a shower.

Then it depends on how you bike. Most people use a too low speed. This is like driving a car in first gear all the way to work. You will sweat. I use the highest gear comfortable. If it's too high my knees hurt.

Another thing is to find a slow constant rhythm. Do no "accelerate" on a bike. You will use a lot of energy and so you will sweat.
Read my medium posts (medium.com/@robleathern) to get a sense of what we are doing and why. It's easy to make money in the online ads industry but we are not going to compromise our values to keep this company alive.

From what I remember about numerically solving differential equations, your approximations will completely diverge from the actual solution near singular points in the equation, so you have to transform the problem to come up with a singular solution. I imagine the interaction of two singularities would result in some interesting singular points. Is that what you are alluding to when you say "finding the right metrics" or am I completely off base?

In either case, could you link to one of those 2004-7 papers? It sounds like a fascinating read.

That sounds tough. To be honest, I don't know how a plan of taking the job you want while studying to be competent at it on the side would be possible for anyone.

I'm also confused why you don't just transfer to another school with the credits you have. You wouldn't be starting from zero, right? Given that compilers are a very academic niche (people get PhDs in this), I don't at all see why university would be a waste of time.

The good news is that there are lots of open source languages out there that could use help (most?). Nothing stopping you from getting there on your own, it just seems that guidance from professors on such a deep subject would help a lot.
"I actually don't understand why Brexit should necessary be bad for UK"

Leaving the EU could have some advantages, but those advantages need would only come from a very VERY long, slow drawn out plan (eg. coming up with new laws and trade deals ready for the switch over) over many MANY years. Leaving the EU isn't necessarily a terrible thing, but doing it in the way it was done, now, so fast, with so much misinformation? The only outcome could be negative.

Sure everyone wants to rewire the server farm, but you don't just go down and start ripping out cables because "Once it's done it will be better".
Fundamentally the problem with Greece is that the IMF & EU are focussed on saving the Euro.

Meanwhile Greece is unable and / or unwilling to meet it's Eurozone obligations.

The only real solution it to toss Greece out, but negotiate a smooth transition to a new drachma. Convert all existing debt to drachmas. Greece can deal with the outstanding debt by devaluing their currency.

However they'll have to choose between letting pensions see their purchasing power decline, or finally cracking down on tax cheats.

But people have a strange moral attachment to the EU / Euro. So it won't happen.
I wrote a tiny DNS filtering daemon that does exactly the same -

100% Being healthy is great and all, but you know what's REALLY fucking awesome? Feeling confident and not being afraid to just be a person.

I can't tell you how many times I used to sit at home alone feeling bad for myself, vs now: I don't have the same fear. It's so much healthier (mentally) to be proud of yourself and just not worry about the way you look (or feel afraid of being judged by people) constantly.
No it's not, it's terrible. These are not stupid software bugs like the wrong icon or colors, these are usually security bugs that can be the beginning of a nightmare for a company. A security consultant will make more than that working for 120days. Don't forget that 120days for normal people is actually 120 business days, or 24 weeks, A bit over 6 months. So would you still $40k for 6months of high specialized work as not being terrible?

Wow I can really relate to that. Mind telling me what you do for meditation and/or mindfulness? Do you treat them separately, or do them train them together in one program. Any app, or something in particular I can follow?
With kubernetes, putting credentials in env vars is an anti pattern.

You create a secret and then that secret can be mounted as a volume when the container runs, it never gets captured in a layer.

Also CGI exploits exposing env vars would work just as well on a normal non-container instance would they not?
Being out of an academic job is a painful experience. I have a PhD in math and, entering grad school, was aiming only for an academic career.

However, it was very clear to everyone in my grad program (as well as to my friends doing physics PhDs across the street) that this requires 1-2 competitive postdocs (3-6 years at low salary) and a stiff competition to a tenure track. And you do not usually get a choice: i.e., if you get offered a position, you grab it, be it in Maine or Texas (I decided to avoid this race and went to the industry; there are pros and cons to both paths).

IMO, the tenure system, at least in the US, is highly inefficient. Things are pretty top-heavy (older, tenured professors who originally were expected to retire by ~60, often do not) and graduating PhDs with decent, but not stellar results have a very hard time on the academic research track.
Global installs are the root of a lot of headaches when building software in the same way that global mutable state is the root of a lot of headaches when developing it. Nix may be the one system package manager that is the exception to this rule (I don't have experience with it, so I can't vouch towards that, but I hear great things). However apt-get is incredibly bad at getting you the dependencies you need for a reproducible build.

I've seen this argument come up a few times now, and I have a hard time reconciling this rosy view of system package managers at the center of a development process with my own experiences. That process was never as easy as "cracking open a book, installing a compiler, and firing up vim" and usually entailed a fair amount of trial and error, environment variable fiddling, and sadness from having to chase down a derelict PPA (or the equivalent) hosting the actual dependency version I need. Then more sadness as the number of projects I work on increases and my dependency versions bifurcate.

Another tip regarding "not having any thoughts":

What helped me was concentrating on my breathing and heartbeat, and the fact that I'm concentrating on my breathing and heart. I had a really hard time completely clearing my mind on demand, but those two things are very easy to start concentrating on and other thoughts slowly slip away.
There's an overpopulation in virtually every field. Any graduate student can look to his or her left and right in class and realize that those people are his or her competition for a job that only one of them is going to get. The situation is only somewhat better in STEM fields, because there's more industry demand (where you can get paid more and have better mobility, but get looked down on by your academic brethren.)
Listening to podcasts while I work. I used to be a music only person, but I have enjoyed mixing it up lately and listening to topics/people that interest me.
We are not selling this information and never will. We built a safari blocker called fewerads that's in the App Store. But we found lots of users wanted to block ads in chrome mobile or inside Twitter or Facebook (to be clear, web ads, not those platforms' ads), which is what lead us to this idea.
> neither of the above can work for all devices in a household and more things in the house are tracking you and serving adverts

Isn't the best approach is to just buy only devices that either known to not have adware onboard (e.g. "dumb" TVs), or that can be re-flashed with software you can relatively trust?

That only applies to the core OS and its capabilities. The apps can contain all the nonsense they want, because OS can deny the access or feeds the sanitized data if the app's badly written or insists on the business model where user pays with their privacy.
The reprehensibility of taxi companies is a big reason why Uber was invented. That said, as with their drivers and corporate practices, Uber and taxi companies are converging on a mean behavior level that in my case has rendered Uber expendable.

A history grad student I knew (I was in STEM) remarked that if he couldn't get an adaptation of his dissertation published somewhere in book form, it would be a major career setback.

Having graduated in 1992 with his PhD, his book came out in 1998, as he moved through a series of temporary positions. He's tenured at a major university now, but he does have to live in an out of the way and rather drab college town. It's no picnic.
I use pi-hole at home and it's a great little tool for my home network and I think makes a noticeable difference on web browsing speeds.

You can use http://example.com operated by the IANA, which is accessible though http and https.

Since an auto-upgrade to https would break a considerable number of examples, and there's no compelling business need on their part to promote https-only, it's much more likely to stay available through http than just about any other website run by commercial interests.
Same here. Digital lists are never reviewed. I carry one or two scrap envelopes in my back pocket (or a skinny notebook) at all times with a list of things to do. In the morning, when I transfer my wallet, keys, and envelopes to the pants that I'll be wearing, I check my list and see what needs doing.
Interesting! Thank you.
I skimmed the subsequent chapter to its end where program extraction comes up. It is invoked on a function called tcompile, defined on page 35. Meanwhile the theorem about the correctness of tcompile, called tcompile_correct, has only been stated on p.36 and concluded on p.37.

The program extracted from tcompile is surely independent of its proof of correctness tcompile_correct. I suppose that by the Curry-Howard isomorphism there must be some program corresponding to tcompile_correct, but it's probably not a compiler...

We may be talking at cross-purposes :)
So we have a separate subscription service at app.optimal.com where you can pay $5.99 a month and we will distribute 70% of that to publishers, entirely transparently. You can also "tip" sites an extra 5c or 25c if you like. There is no connection to our blocker or anyone else's... It's the honor system. We trust some people will do that and it will be enough to create new value for the broken ads ecosystem. We welcome your comments and ideas on this but fundamentally I believe that there should be an option in all media to avoid ads AND pay journalists (my brother is one), a fair rate. This can't be done by any one website on its own.
There is a very cool RPG setting called Numenera [1] (and an upcoming computer game based on it, by some of the guys behind Planescape: Torment [2]) whose premise is more-or-less that there have been several global civilizations on this planet, separated by hundreds of millions of years.

Each one either ascends to the stars or collapses, but they all leave behind remnants that continue to shape the world for those who come after them.

Given the current political and environmental turmoil worldwide, it may not be too far-fetched that we humans of today are but one page in Earth's story. Whatever happens to us, the planet will live on and others may eventually take our place.

Interesting points. I still disagree, or perhaps I'm not doing a good job explaining.

My point is this: Something is true whether one accepts it or not. E.g. the earth was proven to be round before anyone actually went around it.

Another example is climate change deniers. To them there's no proof of; 1) Climate change; 2) That it's man made.

Another example is people who believe the earth is 10,000 years old (I'm not joking millions of ppl believe this). They will deny any evidence you put in front of them.

That's the beauty of maths. If you can prove it mathematically, it's true. Whether or not you believe it is irrelevant.
One of my most infuriating moments at Berkeley was when I attended a symposium on pursuing an academic career (I was interested in one at that point) and a professor complained that students were too concerned with academics and weren't spending enough time protesting, like she had.

It was the academic equivalent of Old Economy Steven. Very triggering.

It took two pivots to find a project I could "finish". I've been a math and science teacher for a long time, so my strongest projects are education-related. I spoke about a project that would allow people to write and maintain education standards on an open platform. People were really interested in that project, and it led to an invitation to write a book for No Starch Press. I outlined an intro Python book, and the proposal was accepted.

I spent two years writing, and Python Crash Course was published last fall. It's been really well received, which is tremendously satisfying. I've enjoyed the steady stream of emails from readers since it was published. Finishing the book has opened a number of doors, and it's fun to be working on a second career at this point. I like the mix of programming and writing.

BMI means little for an individual. As an example, there are several world class athletes with high BMIs; according to the CDC dedinitions, LeBron James is "overweight" with a BMI of 27.5, and Didier Defago (one of the best downhill skiers) has 29 which is bordering on obese (according to the definition).

A tricky part was making sure that numerical instabilities didn't propagate outward away from the event horizon. I believe there are now several solutions to the problem, but the one I find most intuitive is simply extending spacetime ad infinitum inside the black hole in order to allow gravitational waves to propagate inward forever.

I deleted Uber off of my phone a long time ago. Everywhere that I've traveled to since then has had perfectly decent Lyft coverage. I'm under no illusion that Lyft is a saint of a company, but they're a hell of a lot better than Uber.
In general, though, I think most grad programs should take more than their replacement rate. There should be a (sizeable) outflow to non-academic jobs in a healthy system.
This also requires not having an institutional "tenure or failure" mentality, which is, sadly, not uncommon in many science grad schools.
