I see paywalls as win-win deal.

The abundance cliché tells us that more news outlets reaching more readers is always a good thing.

In reality though for the news producers, what's the point of reaching many millions if you become a slave of advertisements and of the competition for people's attention?

And from our perspective as readers, we should drop the abundance mentality and understands our news consumption much like we understand our food consumption. There is the equivalent to consuming too much food and to consuming unhealthy food. Consuming more don't make us more informed.
As Steven Pinker says, even when it's honest and good, "News is a misleading way to understand the world". It's all about dramatic events that just happened and slow but powerful and meaningful evolutions naturally take the backseat. But they do make us meaner, angrier, more pessimistic.

I prefer to choose to consume less news, but to really enjoy the ones that I do consume. And "I am ready to pay for it?" is a very good assesment of wether that's the case.

Humans prefer predictable user interfaces. You can change the UI with a major update, but if they'd be changing the UI frequently just to thwart OCR attempts then they'd be throwing out the baby with the bathwater - what good is stopping OCR if the normal users drop your app because it starts sucking?
I'm from Romania. The general balance is pretty far from 50/50, and there are some not-so-nice jokes about women in CS (e.g. "mamma had 2 girls; one was smart & beautiful, the other one went on to study computer science"). Still, from what I saw (I work in a US company) - I suspect it's far better than US, and maybe even western europe[1]. There's no expectation that if you're a girl you must suck at math (or science/engineering in general), and in general I'd say programmers want/ like to have girls around. But it's still a fairly masculine environment, with some fair level of "bro" culture, so it must be somewhat tougher for a girl. It's double-edged though... the US "positive discrimination" culture is making inroads here, so on some aspects it's easier to be a girl in tech (I suspect it's actually easier to get a job compared to an equally-qualified guy).

The thing is - positive discrimination doesn't solve the problem, because it comes from school. You need to encourage girls to take science classes - it has to be expected of them that they do so (rather than go towards, e.g., humanities). That, I don't think is actively happening in the US or even some parts of western europe.... by the time you're dealing with graduates, it's already too late to fix the gender-imbalance problem.

[1] My little daughter's godfathers are German (she grew up in Romania, but he didn't). She told me that among german women, it's a thing of pride to be bad at math. And that her daughter was praised in school that "you're pretty good, for a girl". With that sort of attitudes during childhood... it's bound to be hard to get gender balance later (that "praise" would be perceived as insult here)
Depends I guess.

The L mine has CBTC and the 7 will as well. The MTA has a plan to deploy this to all their lines but they have almost 900 miles of track with more than 6000 cars and it's an expensive and slow process - especially when the lines run 24/7 unlike everywhere else.
Good luck using your deflationary "currency" with ridiculous transaction fees and glacial transaction rate that isn't accepted anywhere to actually live your day-to-day life.

Yeah, no one can accurately predict market futures. It's probably only absurd in retrospect if it doesn't come true. But there's no math that says it's unrealistic, especially with faith based currency.
Another important point often missed in these discussions is training. If you take a driving licence in Denmark, a big part of the training is how to deal with bicyclists. I have also taken a bus driving licence in Denmark, and there it becomes an even bigger thing.

Like counting bicyclists as you approach a junction you wish to turn right, placing the bus correctly, so you can see the bicyclists coming towards you in the right mirror.

Generally speaking, most other European countries don't have this extensive training on how to deal with bicyclists for drivers, so bicyclists are naturally told to watch out for cars on foreign plates (with the exception of Dutch plates, I suppose). And since their local environment don't usually have cyclists, drivers don't get to deal with it on a daily basis.

One thing is building the infrastructure, another is getting everyone else on board.

This would make sense. If the real estate could be owned by the operators of the subway, the subway could capture that value created* and distribute it to upkeep of the whole system.

Since this is not the case in NYC and Chicago - private individuals / the city owns the property adjacent to transit, there needs to be some other way to capture that value. Enter a sane, necessary taxation / subsidization mechanism.

* The value is real. Property adjacent to transit was insulated from the 2008 crash:

My bike commute is only 5km one way, but it helped me a lot losing 10kgs of weight and developing good overall fitness and even some visible leg muscles. I try to go at a fast pace though, i agree that when you drive normally there is not a lot of effort involved on a 20 minute commute.
Fine, I also love Python :P
I always search for mentions of Hashicorp Nomad in the comments section of front-page Kubernetes articles like this. There are often few or no mentions, so I’d like to add a plug for the Hashistack.

For some reason Nomad seems to get noticeably less publicity than some of the other Hashicorp offerings like Consul, Vault, and Terraform. In my opinion Nomad is right up there with them. The documentation is excellent. I haven’t had to fix any upstream issues in about a year of development on two separate Nomad clusters. Upgrading versions live is straightforward, and I rarely find myself in a situation where I can’t accomplish something I envisioned because Nomad is missing a feature. It schedules batch jobs, cron jobs, long running services, and system services that run on every node. It has a variety of job drivers outside of Docker.

Nomad, Consul, Vault, and the Consul-aware Fabio load balancer run together to form most of what one might need for a cluster scheduler based deployment, somewhat reminiscent of the “do one thing well” Unix philosophy of composability.

Certainly it isn’t perfect, but I’d recommend it to anyone who is considering using a cluster scheduler but is apprehensive about the operational complexity of the more widely discussed options such as Kubernetes.

The way I see the post you're replying to is either you learn to cope with these things or you'll burn out faster.

Since there's no accountability, if you want to do things the right way, you'll have to do it by yourself and be prepared to swim against the tide..
Thanks, I couldn't find anything but SQL Server dumps.

However, I've looked at the schema, and it's an OLTP database. I'm looking for something that's more about real-world entities and public facts, and less about nitty-gritty business-transactional details. Movies, music, people, organization structures, literature, public infrastructure, etc.
I was unclear with my "sticky jobs" statement; and referred primarily to the initial rate of change of women entering the workforce. I did try to look at the data for that, but while there is a spike of labor participation rate (per capita/% seems a much better metric than absolute #) during the male/female convergence in the 50's/60s as womens rights progressed, it seemed primarily externality driven. [0]

That being said, I'd try and better make my main point:
As a sister post states, there's the intuitive fact that remedying discrimination is by definition going to cause the previously elevated party to lose that. This is the core of what I was trying to get at; that I'm not sure "it's not a zero sum game" is going to convince people who focus on this aspect of it. Maybe there's an argument that you don't need to/can't convince someone that opposed, but that's the heart of my pessimism about the aformentioned togetherness.

(Another sister post made the explanation of the lump of labor fallacy, which I had learned at one point and unfortunately forgotten as it far better responds to the hypothetical I posed)

I was never too sure about the POSIX compatibility being a good thing. Sure, it meant that BeOS got more software more easily from other (Linux) sources. But it meant that people didn't write for the OO API, POSIX threading was worse, as were a lot of other things.

Since things were then just ported to Be rather than written directly for it, it kinda felt like POSIX compat was Be in its death-throes.

I bought in at R3/3.1, and I regretted it since as it was just a sad slow slide after that :(
You should take a look at https://sqlmap.org : this tool runs SQL attacks with « raw data output » as you say, but also without outputs (Blind SQL injections).

Here's my experience with an elderly coder in his mid 50s. He was a decent delphi and .net coder, he was a decent human being, but he had health problems. Most of the week he had hospital appointments. He required nose surgery. His blood levels were low. He needed vitamin d and iron supplements and during our four month acquintance, he never got any better. He constantly forgot things and he feared his lack of iron had caused a permanent damage to his brain. He was a diabetic which gave him license to be more hot headed and harder to persuade. He had accumulated a lot of debts which gave him license to be more hectic and disturbed. Overall, his long life and experience did not outweigh his negative properties.
Or perhaps you do get good answers but you choose to forget them, because they don't quite suit your situation.
Did you take any computer science courses on software verification? That is, proving your program does what you intend.

It's complicated, difficult, and the people who can do this are expensive. Railway signaling systems, alongside air and spacecraft, and sometimes consumer devices that would be expensive to firmware update during the warranty, are the few places software verification is used.

The specification we are verifying the software against must also be proven to be correct, including failing safe.

The hardware also has to perform, at all reasonable temperatures, humidities, with vibration, poor power, and for an expected life of at least 50 years.

The people installing the hardware must be checked, to ensure the work is done correctly. A crossed wire is a critical fault, I imagine there's a long and detailed procedure for connecting every wire.

[1] is an interesting read, a retrospective on a bad crash in 1988 in Britain which led to many improvements in signaling safety.

Former 213 TA here. This was by far the most enjoyable lab in the course - Bomb lab is a close second but this provides a more significant ‘levelling up’ experience.

The actual lab is currently offered split into 2 checkpoints with the 1st checkpoint having somewhat lower perf/efficiency thresholds. While dealing with non-small C code is one of the good parts of the lab, I felt the major takeaway for me was the improvement in my pointer bug fixing skills.

Aside from the pi, does the software stack work on any of these boards? Forgive me if I'm on outdated info but last I checked:

Espressobin hard crashes over 1G ram, was that fixed?

Tinker board software released / OS stability usage? I'm guessing no graphics still?

HiKey seems to have lots of Linaro support, no idea on actual usage.

Heard good things above ROCK64 but heard software was very poor initially, not sure if that fixed.

The rest sound doomed to old kernels and the dustbin. Speaking from experience of working with SBCs for the past 5 years and testing tens if not hundreds of platforms.
I'm almost 40, in the tech industry, own zero small businesses and am doing very well for myself. You just need to keep your skills up to date rather than resting on your laurels, and it works out.
I have this saying that most software is tent software. Nothing wrong with tents, music festivals are built on tents for example. They are cheap, quick to put up and put down and can do a lot!

You just have realize that most software buildings are tents, and there are a few buildings that you can use out there.
Check the bump and bump+roughness disk platter image

Basically the scratches done via displacement mapping aren’t filtered trough sourface roughness using the previous approach. The new approach appies the roughness filtering on top of the displacement map, so even displaced geometry partecipates into the roughness map. physical based rendering pipeline is basically the swap between the bump and roughness filters.

They may have decent initial sales, but their delivery sucks; the whole point of this discussion is that there are a lot of customers who have been sold but are absolutely not satisfied with what they're getting.

Also, their (re)licensing process for existing customers pretty much amounts to extortion. You better be really sure about how much it would take to rewrite your systems without Oracle, have a plan how it would be done, and advertise it to them - because as soon as they'll feel a lock-in, prepare to open the wallet for ridiculous sums for trifling things that you've been doing for years for free, but now their lawyers can find an weird interpretation where that requires extra licenses; they don't even attempt to increase the revenue by providing some extra value or service for you but simply by applying their muscle.

It's kind of sad when people "invest" money they really should not be spending on a scam, but it's on them. Such people probably have a lifetime track record of making similarly poor decisions with their money.
I think this is more than just the economic system. If you look at people in general, we live in the age of instant gratification.

We want everything fast! Nobody is willing to put in the work and get the reward after a longer period of time... No! We want results now! We don't want to wait for the food to be properly cooked, we want it now, so we go for fast food. We don't want to put in 1 year of work to learn something new so we can feel that we achieved something, we want it now, so we play a game where we can 'win' in 30 minutes. We don't want to build a relationship and eventually end up being intimate, we want it now, so we go for 'one night stands'.

Then you ask yourself... is it weird that the economic system works the same? That the software industry works the same? :/
Kind of why I wish public transit was just made free..

Once the rail lines are paid for, the cost per passenger is very low. Hence, we should maximize value by making it free.

It's also a side-effect of the "communist cultural heritage"... Engineers were quite respected in communist societies (at least in EE & Rusia), and women were also welcomed/forced to join the industrial workforce (because industry was inefficient and required tons of labor).

Hence, a smart woman wanting high social status kind of had two options: become an engineer or a doctor. First option was easier and also less painful (doctors were also subjected to nasty shit like having to relocate to unpleasant places without choice because there was a demand for their services there, some areas like surgery were also much less women friendly etc.).

Also, dunno about Rusia, but in Eastern Europe, even now, there is a good "girls in math" story. Maybe less in physics or computer-science, but in pure and applied math there's lots of girls. Probably most of the smart ones jump ship more towards finance than tech though, when they realize they can't really get a nice paying job with a math degree alone.

Yes, exactly, he discovered it well enough that people who read his papers years later didn't need for it to be discovered again.

Bitcoin is new technology, the fact that its use cases are changing is evidence of that. That should be exciting, not disheartening. It would be a worse sign if it simply accomplished the goal it purportedly was intended for and nothing else. This shows it may have more growth potential.

I for one know a few folks who have used bitcoin to transfer large sums of money across borders... pretty crazy times we live in. I expect bitcoin to dominate in this area in the short to medium term.
