Which is good for us (software engineers). I have noticed the same thing in Europe. Even though it's nowhere near Silicon Valley, I have noticed salaries in London rising faster than they used before. So there's definitely shortage of talent and market (supply / demand) seems to be reacting to this and driving salaries up.
I own the virtual thing. It's my data. Yes, the vendor could illegaly tamper with it. Or legaly stop providing me service. But the beauty of the cloud is that it would not affect me. Because I can replace any vendor with a click.
A deeply buried button was what I imagined, not something on the address bar you could accidentally click. A separate compilation flag when rebuilding the browser is not accurate if you're comparing to Android's side-loading model (not even enabling developer tools require anything that onerous). I would argue your addition of "easy" or "without warnings" is what muddled the discussion.
What Chinese operating systems are there?
GP is misinformed. seccomp is an optimization to ptrace-based syscall interception, when you're only interested in intercepting a subset of a process's syscalls. Instead of getting an event and processing every single syscall a process makes, you can register a seccomp filter that fires a ptrace event in only specific cases (which can be super coarse like "the syscall number is open", or more fine grained like "the syscall number is open and the file is being opened with O_WRONLY or O_RDWR"). Without something like this, ptrace based interception would be almost unusably slow for many cases.

An Industry First CLI Platform “Open CLI Platform (OCLIP)”
It's basically perfect for building anything in the drone or industrial control space because you can use the same monolithic IC that's on there, on low-quality boards that don't need expensive impedance control or 8 layers.

It's actually a pretty huge development as far as electronics go.
We used (and actually still use) this to override hostname lookup in an automated test scenario, where we want to run multiple test suites of the same software (consisting of several processes which all communicate with each other via networking) on the same build server in parallel. We ended up just configuring everything to bind/connect to "localhost", so it runs fine on developer machines, but when executed on the build server - which is a lot more beefier than a dev laptop - the exact same configuration can be run 20 times, executing different test suites in parallel. The trick is that there's one independent loopback network interface for each run on that server, and by overriding the hostname lookup of the software via a small library provided in LD_PRELOAD, we replace the default lookup to 127.0.0.1 with these other loopback devices' IPs.

You could of course achieve the same thing (and even more, like filesystem isolation) in a way more elegant and better-understandable way via Docker containers, but we started doing this in 2011 - there was no Docker back then, so we built our own ultra-low-overhead network virtualization. It'll probably be replaced by Docker someday, but for the moment it's still being used as it "just works" and requires practically no maintenance after being set up once.

It sounds like this wasn't the case in this instance, but applications could depend on kernel features without loading any kernel modules. The fact that they required 3.10 is interesting because my first example would be user namespaces, which were completed around that point (I think they were mostly done by 3.8, but IIRC there were some significant features that weren't complete until 3.9-3.10).

Edit - Here's some details about Chromium's dependency on these features: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkcr/docs/l...
I think the word 'uninformed' here is key -- after all, the entire concept of the font being discussed is an experiment (of the 'what would happen if we look in this gap in this classification system?' kind). But it's not an uninformed experiment, it's one that arises from knowledge of what's been done historically, which is why it's interesting. Uninformed experimentation would be more likely to just reinvent some previous idea, badly. (Not that recapitulating previous work is inherently bad; but the idea of an informed experiment would be to recapitulate some development knowing that that was what you were doing.)
These are not laws. The observations and patterns do not exactly match across cultures. The basic premise of moral rationality is plenty flawed as well.
> I'm refuting OP's claim that people today are generally hearing something "particularly wonderful" in Mozart's output and applying that level of extraordinary output to music from the "age of Mozart."

You are simply reading something that isn't really there. OPs original claim is clearly that the music production of the time was much larger than what survives (in popular culture) to this day, and that the surviving body of works has been selected for quality.

Your point amounts to little more than insisting the time period shouldn't be called "the age of Mozart", which is fine for what it is: a discussion of nomenclature.
A tangential thought but related: I would find this absolutely frightening. I understand the motivation behind it but I always like to start from something existing and editing it -- even if by the end nothing remains of the original. To some, an empty editor window is infinite possibility but to me, it's a "coders block", not sure how to phrase it. Infinite analysis paralysis perhaps.

This phenomena is much more obvious with physical assets. If you're a country that natural ore, oil, farmland, etc, you will prosper. If you're a country that has few natural resources and is land-locked, you'll suffer.

The idea that you can generate wealth independent of environmental conditions is flawed - there's no such thing as absolute wealth generation. Demand has a price point, and fulfilling that demand has a cost point, and its the environmental conditions that dictate if you'll operate at a profit or loss.

Favorable conditions enable you to operate at profit. These conditions can be a number of things, like location, access to capital, labor, competition or lack thereof, etc. Most of the time, these things are not under your control (unless you're a large corporation that can lobby the government, or you are backed by the government).

China's government has created conditions for profit by creating favorable environments. Profit allows for innovation, which is where the technical advancement comes from.

Having worked a little bit on #2, even for relatively common conditions, stochasticity still plays a major role in outcomes.

For example, I have a simple model that ends up showing that an ICU doing everything it's supposed to do (patient isolation, high hand hygiene compliance, perfect diagnosis, etc.) can have a four-fold difference in MRSA infections over a year by chance alone.
Before you have a procedure performed, ask your doctor a simple question: "How many times have you performed this procedure". What I have noticed doctors absolutely hate his question - I have witnessed doctors become visibly angry. I have never once had a doctor answer this question. I have heard answers from: "We don't keep those records" to "We don't keep totals". Are these records not kept? Why wouldn't this be public information? There must be practices with 0 performed procedures completed, and are you patient 1? How can doctors improve if they don't keep transparent numbers of procedures performed, procedures failed, procedures which were successful? "How can you define procedures failed?" - I can hear some say. But that is a discussion these professionals need to have to find incompetence hiding among their ranks.
Not that statistical analysis like this isn't interesting, but when you have two choices - Red team or Blue team - which are also highly clustered and a ton of variables to use to correlate - pickup, sedan, hybrid, minivan - of course its going to be pretty easy to build a model that will pick the correct team with high accuracy.

Chesterton's fence
"The populace" has shown strong (majority) support for a second referendum, as seen elsewhere in the comments.

Holding a non-binding referendum on a major and complex issue, asking citizens without truly educating them on the issues and consequences, packing campaigns with deceit to swing uninformed votes, all of this only to end up with a near-tie.

What about this is "the will of the people", exactly?

"The people" vote for less crime and less taxes. If you've been spoon-fed that taxes is "because of europe" and that crime is "all them immigrants, because of europe", yeah you're going to vote leave. Of course, when those things don't fucking change, your vote has done diddly-squat for you and, when politicians start spoon-feeding you a different boogeyman to help their personal causes, you'll once more vote for less crime, less taxes, but this time they're because of "those mean liberals", "evil net neutrality", "the mainstream fake news media that attacks me", "taxes on private jets... for reasons, just trust me on this" or whatever else is convenient.

In education, you're effectively looking for long-term financial success of your students, and you search for proxy metrics that predict it. Most of the things you need to control for are the same socioeconomic factors behavioural scientists are working on in other fields. Also: Since almost everyone goes to school, there's a lot of easy-to-anonymise data.

In medicine, I don't think there's a clear long-term metric (lifespan? financial success? happiness?), and there's at least two nasty selection bias that people generally only see a doctor when (self-report) something is wrong, and that doctors specialise. But let's say you solve those problems: What kinds of questions[1] are you going to ask that are supposed to predict satisfaction with the doctor?

So the point of a methodology like this is that it guides you into hopefully making better code by driving you away from certain decisions. Yes you can certainly sabotage attempts at doing so with patch methods and copy-paste, but the point is that if followed it'd set up an environment which discourages spaghetti.

Your story is a school case, unfortunately.

The law is never in your favor as a single man or small shop. It's too expensive to go to court, then determining what should have been done or not done as per the contract is a lengthy and uncertain proceeding.

Clients who wanna pay per project basically want to move the risk over to you. They should pay a premium. Write a solid contract and increase the fees/duration. Most should give up when you start increasing the quote just to establish the contract, it's easier to start a POC and see what could be achieved.

Some extensions are considered bad ideas later, e.g. -XImplicitParams.

Some extensions can make existing code fail to compile, e.g. -XOverloadedStrings.

Some extensions are fairly specialised and their use can cause error messages that are confusing if you don't know what the extension does, e.g. -XAllowAmbiguousTypes.

Some extensions can cause certain pathological pieces of code to suddenly start behaving weirdly, e.g. if you turn on -XApplicativeDo for a type whose Applicative instance isn't lawful, but whose Monad instance is.

Of course, many, many extensions could be enabled by default without making the UX worse or restricting the set of allowed programs at all: a large section of Haskell users is likely in favour of enabling syntactic conveniences like LambdaCase or MultiWayIf, or automatic code-generation utilities like DeriveFoldable, DeriveTraversable, and so on. That's what Haskell Prime is for, I suppose.
Not really. Static analysis, compiling, etc. still fall towards the ivory tower part of the programming axis...

your assumptions are not correct, see ie Switzerland, very resource-poor country (little farmland due to mountains, no mining resources to speak of etc.). Their added value is high skillset, very high working 'morality', free society like nowhere else, relatively little taxation on personal and company level (and guns, guns everywhere but mostly without ammo).
