To my mind, it's not completely unreasonable to argue that the constraints on the state do not necessarily have to be mirrored as constraints on individuals or companies/institutions.

It seems to be similar to the freedom of speech debate regarding the Daily Stormer. The debate largely revolved around whether a company should be able to refuse their business because they found it objectionable even while conceding it was legal.

This is similar I think. From the state's perspective this person has served her time and is free to go about her business. But an institution still finds her objectionable and has refused her admission.

Personally, I'm somewhat conflicted. I would imagine I would find it very difficult to have a professional relationship with this person and, if I was responsible for hiring, would definitely be concerned that hiring her may not be net positive for my organisation. Equally, I'm very aware that this line of reasoning has been used to prolong some very nasty behaviours and I may well be perpetuating one of them.
Hi, I'm the maintainer of that package! Unlike building from source [1], that package uses the official binary distribution and is not MIT licensed. So it might be a better idea to move the source build [1] to [community].

I would hope not. I see tech-workers as professionals not as laborers. I think the great battle to be fought by tech workers is to stop having them treated as common laborers that perform some kind of rote process. Some times we call software development engineering, and if thats the case I would press anyone to show me an engineering discipline that parallels software engineering in terms of working conditions and relations.

The incarceration is the punishment handed out by the state, the state being a proxy of 'society'. There is however no moral obligation for any citizen to take over the stance of that 'abstract society' that a prisoner can be released for whatever reason. In other words, everybody has to right to associate or not with who they want. The extreme example here is that the victim of child molestation at the hand of a parent has no obligation whatsoever to resume contact with the perpetrator after release from prison.

On a meta note, I would be a lot more sympathetic to many 'causes' if only they would choose less reprehensible poster children for their campaigns. I mean, I'm all for prison reform and rehabilitation, but come on:

"In a memo to university administrators, these professors said the admissions dean had told them Jones’s selection would be reviewed by the president and provost, and questioned whether she had minimized her crime “to the point of misrepresentation.”"

"The boy died in 1992 in circumstances that remain unclear; the body was never found."

"At her trial, a former friend testified that Jones confessed to having beaten the boy and then leaving him alone for days in their apartment, eventually returning to find him dead in his bedroom.".

Campaigning on the basis of a child murderer who abused a 4 year old and let him starve to death not being admitted to a top university being 'unfair'? Yeah, good luck with that.
I think the key thing here is "based on" does not have to be "equal to".

One option, which I've not thought through, would be something like the following:

You make £500 profit.

You pay 20% corporation tax, so that's £100. The question is who does that get paid to?

If 15% of your revenue comes from the UK and 50% comes from France, then £15 of the corp. tax goes to the UK and £50 goes to France.

More complicated with different company structures and corp. tax differences between countries, etc, but I think this may be what they're getting at.

1) Absolute stability (in my experience).

2) No dependency hell (you do not install what you will never use; one could use pkgsrc, if desired).

3) Does not use the rolling release paradigm (with the need to stay up to date, more or less, in order to avoid breaking the system).

4) More minimalist, saner feel. (It has to be more minimalist, as the maintenance team is small.)

5) No systemd (so far; not that I care much, but still feels nice).

6) Good community support.
That is intentional behavior on the part of `ssh`. You can still disable that prompt within `ssh` (though it's not recommended):

Re: the pushback the author got on Twitter; I believe in skepticism towards corporations and marketing claims, but the level of cynicism online towards any new tech idea or product seems a bit out of hand. There's a certain trend, on Twitter especially, of people racing to prove they're either more woke or smarter than the teams of people behind things that are yet to even be released. I mean a "wait and see" attitude wrt the actual effectiveness is good, but I don't get why we need to concoct extreme hypotheticals here suggesting Apple is somehow irresponsible for adding an optional feature.

^This is the advice you need. There are so many streams within IT that it is difficult to pin point one. There is sysadmin, security operations etc. Then it depends on companies. A startup focused on opsec will be much better to work in opsec than say equifax, they will have one department for compliance purpose. So the goal should depend on the job you want and company instead of subjects.
You gain control over the platform you're using. That's illustrated in the first paragraph of the Wired article.

This article is talking about the cardinality of two very specific sets. Before, many believed that t > p, but many believed that this was not provable in ZFC. Both sets contain only sets of integers, so their cardinality is bounded above by the cardinality of the real numbers (the continuum). Some people believed that this result was related to the Continuum hypothesis, and so was only provable one way or the other if you assume the CH or its negative.

As it turns out, both sets have the same cardinality (that of the real numbers) AND it is provable in ZFC.

The title is a little misleading, its really saying that two infinite sets are the same size, but prior to this their cardinality was unknown, and it wasn't even known if the cardinality was provable in ZFC.

There are infinite variants of this task. But only one of them is mathematically interesting with respect to the claim that the reals cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with the naturals.

Obviously, if I give you a real you can then generate a list that includes that real. That isn't very interesting.
Welcome to politics! This story is as old as time.
When was the last time you used DDG? It used to be worse but it's roughly on par now.
Where do you get that from?
"a. There's no need to 'read the documentation' before every update a quick glance at the news feed will do."

That is part of the documentation. Users shouldn't have to subscribe to a news feeds in order to correctly update their systems. Do you subscribe to Microsoft's or Apple's update news feed? If you do, you're unlike 99.999% of users.

"b. macOS doesn't track and update every package on your system."

Mint does. Ubuntu does. A large number of other desktop-oriented distros do, without requiring their users to read news feeds for instructions on manual procedures.

"c. in that sense, nothing just works, i.e. had to repair Windows after a botched MS update quite a few times and while macOS is not usually completely broken after significant updates, (it shouldn't, they control the hw), it tends to be broken in subtle and annoying ways nonetheless, 10.7 for example was particularly bad."

Shit happens. Shit just seems to happen a lot more often on Arch (and Gentoo, for that matter).

"d. That Ubuntu just works is your experience, there are plenty of people who try it and it either cannot detect something, or the GPU driver is broken or Wifi doesn't work, (see the reports on that regarding 16.04 LTS) etc. so it is very subjective, but if you don't experience these issues with Ubuntu, it's great. All I'm saying is that it is the same way for Arch."

I used Arch for ~9 years. I've had systems where it worked fine, and systems that required a lot of fiddling to work.

In contrast, Mint and Ubuntu has worked flawlessly, on those same systems.

Your comment creates the impression that without unions, developers wouldn't have to deal with "power structures".

But to a pretty good first approximation every technology firm in the industry is a "power structure" --- a rigid and overt one, at that --- run by financiers and owners. So it's hard to see what rank-and-file professionals would have to lose from exercising their own market power, at least in your analysis.
Unfortunately, anyone willing to treat employees horribly, operates cheaper. If using trafficked chinese women were legal, the owner willing to be a psychopath will put his competition under.

If they are smart, they should: right now they have a lot of power in the workplace because there is demand for them. This is a problem tech business owners have identified: programmers have too much power on the job relative to their bosses. They require good wages, they require too many benefits, they complain and sue when they are sexually harassed, they demand equity and to be treated well and refuse to accept the company asserting total ownership of their person in their contract, like non competes, binding arbitration, corporate ownership of every thought they have on the job or off. Could you imagine a company tracking every movement of every programmer at all times and automatically firing those who fail to "perform" according to certain metric? Does your eye linger too long on a comment relative to your peers? Fired. Did it take you too long to write this method this one time? Fired. This is the reality for Amazon warehouse workers and it could be for you, easily.

But there is a solution (from the prospective of employers) for this "problem": every time you hear someone talk about "teaching everyone to code" or "the STEM shortage" (which absolutely does not exist -- there is a shortage of qualified programmers willing to work for $12/hr, a shortage of hard science PhDs willing to do menial lab work for 10$/hr) this is coded language for "let's make millions more programmers so that they become so commonplace they become a commodity and may be treated as such". As it turns out, programming is not that hard, anyone could do it if they learned. And they are learning.

Programmers would be smart to unionize before this strategy succeeds, not after, it will be much easier while they still have power. But this requires social and political intelligence, and for programmers (who lean Libertarian up until the moment they get laid off or abused by their boss) to put their egos aside and disabuse themselves of the notion that they succeeded only because they are so much more brilliant than everyone else.
Also look at the future of their product line and where you'll eventually be upgrading, if you buy in to Apple... I switched back to Android over this.

I see the Medium post titled 'Your logo is copied', which is a better description.
It was specifically in disagreement with the Catholic church, but that doesn't mean that Luther's suggestions and ideas had been any better in regards to "dogma over reason".

Contrary to popular believe Luther was not that flawless shining beacon of reformation he's often made out as, he and his believes came with their very own issues. Like him being a rampant anti-Semite and his views held a lot of weight with the German people. His influence on those matters can in large parts be directly followed to what happened in the Third Reich where a majority population of Christians (96%+) ruthlessly hunted down all "undesirables".

If nowadays anybody would publish a book called "On the Jews and Their Lies" you'd be hard pressed to defend such a thing without coming across like a total asshole with Neo-Nazi tendencies. For Luther is was merely one publication among many showcasing his deep hatred for Jews, yet this barely gets mentioned when his person is discussed, like it never happened.

Even in Germany, it's a rather recent development for people to shine a light on the questionable past of the "big reformer". During the last German Protestant Church Congress a protest group (they protested to stop government subsidies for churches, yes that's an actual thing in Germany) put up a large statue of Luther with some of his most distasteful quotes [0].

Organizers called police, police declared that these quotes are "Volksverhetzend" aka "hate speech/incitement of the masses" and with that they could ban the protesters from the premises. Mind you: Police declared Luther's quotes as hate speech, not statements made by the protesters.

I worked for Frito Lay when they had just started rolling out their electric fleet. It wasn't a bad fit (short daily routes moving around mostly air). But range and reliability where a huge issue. I was told they had to call tow trucks so often that they were spending more on towing costs than they were saving on fuel. The base ended up having to buy a significant portion of their diesel trucks to keep on backup.

Here's hoping the next generation of trucks can deliver.

I wouldn't be that surprised that she would miss lots of consecutive payments. Not because she didn't have the money, but because she doesn't care. 3 late payments in a row on a mortgage, credit card, etc, drags down your score a lot.

Or perhaps she had little credit history. I could see a scenario where most of her stuff is financed through an LLC vs her personal credit. If your business is solely "being popular", almost everything is a business expense :)

I was not able to update anything anymore due to some complex dependency problem that could not be resolved and seemed to be circular. This happened twice with Ubuntu and another debian-based distro.

Granted, I admit I mess around a bit with debian sources. I sometimes pin things, and often times pull packages from sid or unoffficial repos to get fresher versions.

With arch though, packages are always fresh, and the AUR has always worked well for me when I needed something not in the official repo. No issue so far.

Which he did. Diagonalization is an algorithm (and a trivial one at that).

No, you can't, because one of the inputs to his algorithm is your algorithm. So you can't run his algorithm until you've committed to yours.

That's right. But Cantor has to go second. That's why his proof is correct.
Honestly, the only downside I can see vs. TouchID is that you can in theory point the phone at the person and unlock it. However this is balanced out by not working while unconcious.

I'd like to work in the industry, not academia; even if I study bioinformatics, I'd like to work in pharma industry or apply it in practice, not do research.

If I take only schools from my country (Czech Republic) into consideration, it doesn't seem any of them offer such long project-courses. Maybe some game developing class in masters.

About the internships, it would almost seem my school (Charles' University) only participates in Erasmus+. Not sure if that's really everything they are offering, I'll have to look it up sometime.

Charles' University offers three basic bachelor "routes" (for lack of better word) - general CS, programming and computer systems, software and data engineering. In addition, each of them has around three branches. Even if I go this "CS Highway" (and not Maths or bioinformatics), which of the routes should I choose?
