This, finish and go to the best Uni you can;

There was an interesting program on BBC Radio last year that questioned this, they had an example of a student that had excelled during school and went on to the top university for her subject where she found herself in the middle of the pack. This ended any career opportunities in that subject for her.

She knew people who took the same subject at lower tier universities, they came out top of the class and were able to find work in the same subject.
They may want to build it with SLS and Orion, but I can't imagine that's what'll actually happen.
>Most jobs don't require higher education. Most jobs that do require higher education don't actually make any use of the higher education. Are people who didn't follow the author up the ivory tower all failures who just fell through the cracks?

Isn't those questions irrelevant to the issue the author poses: the lack of access to higher education of people from rural backgrounds.

That they can still get employed at "most jobs (that) don't require higher education" (which includes McDonalds), doesn't mean much. Do they get the better deal, or do their higher educated peers do (even if that education wasn't "really needed" by their future career)?
This was me a couple months ago. Had one password that I reused on a bunch of websites where I didn't particularly care about security.

Eventually decided to give them all stronger unique passwords (because why not) and it was a pretty easy process because the password manager could show me all the sites with duplicate passwords.
Scaled Composites tried to solve it by launching from a winged aircraft. (Too bad they seem to have stopped.)
I've heard Dashlane is more "grandma" friendly (albeit at the cost of some security).
Sounds like a lie to me.

The web server can also be run from the cockpit/ws docker container. If you are running cockpit on an Atomic Host this will be the default. In this setup, cockpit establishes an SSH connection from the container to the underlying host, meaning that it is up to your SSH server to grant access. To login with a local account, sshd will need to be configured to allow password based authentication. Alternatively you can setup a Kerberos based SSO solution.

AKA, it is up to your SSH server to grant access to the container.
>why not just move an comet into earth orbit

This is probably substantially more difficult than establishing a moon colony and mining there. Comets have lots of orbital speed you have to overcome, and are generally pretty big.

Edit:

>PS: If you really want rail guns, you can also get free delta-v from solar sails and use them maintain a launch platform's orbit.

Solar sails cannot maintain the orbit of an orbital rail gun launch platform -_-

All of your ideas are more of a moonshot than an actual moonshot.
Are you serious???

The newspaper article says the student was eating a bag of cheese snacks, which is COMPLETELY different than a cheese sandwich!

It's just NYMAG's liberal fake news 'sandwich hating agenda' peeking out again.

Edit: I was trying to make a joke, but as a former assistant librarian I can tell you, there really is a difference between someone eating a sandwich, and someone thumbing through books with Cheetos fingers.
European honeybees and African honeybees are the same species.

There are six different species of mason bee cultivated for agricultural use, and hundreds of wild species. As they are solitary, any hybridization would result in less than 20 hybrid offspring per female, rather than hybridizing an entire hive.

In any case, mason bees are solitary, and have no particular reason to be aggressive towards other animals, as they have no hives to protect.
Neither do undergraduate colleges. Graduate programs are almost by definition vocational.

Not a livestream, but a place to host Jupyter Notebooks. The analogy with youtube was because youtube is the place to "upload your video and distribute it to the world". This would be the place to "upload your Jupyter Notebooks and distribute them" to the world.
Nearly the same thing happened to me.

Except the instructor felt the other kids would be dissuaded by my typing and told me I couldn't stay in the class.

And, similar to your case, typing was a prerequisite to taking any other computer course.
They wouldn't give me credit, but wouldn't let me stay in the class either.

I would up taking it in summer school of 9th grade, spent 2 days, the program clocked me at 139wpm and the teacher(a different one) said I couldn't stay there either. She talked to the office and I got to hang out in the school office for the rest of the summer.

What fun. All because they didn't want to make the other kids feel bad. At least they gave me credit for the class.
a) switch to a new currency

b) thereby devaluing all the nominal savings of the old, retired generation

In reality it won't work like that (A -> B). In this world you most likely will devalue net worth of 99% of people (poor) and prop up net worth of 1% of people (rich) simply because they OWN actual assets - whole factories and industries, mines, planes, ships, hotels, etc. everything that is bigger than a phone and more useful than a house. This move (if hypothetically it ever happened) will create even bigger disparity and faster than now, in years instead of decades.
SPDIF is not a software layer, but a limited version of AES3 for consumers. In the OSI model, AES3 would be considered layer 2.

Layer 2 is not considered software, although it can be performed by software in systems where such a concept makes sense. However, in AES3, this does not make sense, and has always been handled in devices via a chip that merely turns AES3 into I2S to be fed to either a DAC or another interface chip (ex: conversion between AES PHYs is often done by just bridging the receiver of one type to the transmitter of another type semi-blindly via I2S).

Also, the AES3 protocol is incredibly simple. It only has a very limited set of flags (very limited in today's sense, more than enough for what was intended in 1985, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES3#Channel_status_word ), and was never actually meant to do anything but stereo audio at conventional rates. Doing encoded bitstreams across it is largely a hack, and is limited to the base versions of Dolby and DTS.

Using >3mbit over Toslink is not done involving an AES3-purposed PHY, but instead with other unrelated protocols, such as Digital ADAT. Distance on typical Toslink is already constrained to about 30 feet.

I have seen other people quote this mythical 100mbit number, but no one has ever been able to cite such a use in the real world: no standard I have ever seen that uses Toslink as a PHY has supported such a transmission rate: ADAT maxes out at around 12mbit, and MADI does not use Toslink at all.

Also, in further irony, in use, I have found unbalanced AES3 (such as via RCA or BNC) to be more reliable than Toslink; and virtually all of professional AES3 usage is done by 3 pin XLR because of how unreliable Toslink is...

Although a lot of professionals have moved on from AES3 entirely, and use MADI or Dante, or don't use digital transmission pipes inside of their studio at all and run it entirely on a single PC.
> But a complete blank check without even a name on it? Yeah, that's a red flag

At the very least, it’s a reminder to check ID and run a background check.
The article keeps repeating how America is the "most highly evolved liberal democracy", most advanced / modern country etc. This is simply not true. Many European countries have free / low cost education, including higher education, free healthcare where it is rationed by need as opposed to $, maternal and paternal leave, paid vacations, some have free childcare, access to mental healthcare, decriminalization of drug addiction accompanied with treatment, higher gender and social equality, and more importantly, higher social mobility (since access to education and healthcare is more equal); affordable and high quality public transportation, and walkable cities. Property tax %s are lower in most of Europe as well.

Their effective tax rate is lower too, since once you don't need to pay as much for education and healthcare, your take-home pay is higher. You have extra time to sleep, spend with your family and friends, or go out for a walk / read. Your mind doesn't constantly worry about the future of your children or healthcare access due to the social net. This means you're more productive at work and in society.

What's described above is the most evolved liberal democracy. Not the white collar rat race we got here, where we worship billionaires and tax cuts for corporations, where it is still a debate if weapons of mass carnage can be sold to children, where the police force murders its own citizens every day on the streets, where politicians are bought and sold to the highest bidder, in the country with the highest incarceration rate in the world.
Heck, you don't even to switch to it recently!

I've imported my passwords from Firefox's password manager to a dedicated one a few years back, and I've been generating new passwords ever since.

There's still dozens of occurrences of the one-password-for-all-services I've used previously, because nobody will go through the hassle of changing passwords in hundreds of online services. I do change it whenever the autofill appears too short to be randomly generated, but I still didn't get rid of all of them.

With that said, I'm not using 1Password and I've already checked my old password in Troy's service to make sure it wasn't in a breach.
> * bring my password manager with me on my phone (and risk my passwords being pwned because phones are Not Secure)?

As someone who uses this solution to your above-stated problem, I disagree with the assertion that phones are "Not Secure." Care to back that up?
Like alot of others are saying I first programmed in basic. My dad had gotten a Tandy 1000 that we all played games like King's Quest III on. I wanted to learn to make my own games and he showed me how to do some simple things in basic. I can't remember if QBasic was included or I later obtained it somehow but ended up using that down the road.

As time went on I moved on to C programming with DJGPP and Allegro to work on games with my brother (I think that was in the 90s). But QBasic will always hold a special place for me because I learned beginner programming principles by just playing around with it.

What are kids today using to do this kind of 'make my own tinkered games' stuff -- do they go straight to Unity, or still something like QBasic?

I wonder what library they use for it. The one used by VS Code seems to be nice and its developers active.

Even if it's at the cost of someone else who does not wish to single-handedly carry this burden? I have seen first hand the damage someone can cause to a home. I really think that when they are not paying for it they have even less of an emotional stake in the livability of the home post inhabitance.
While I am a strong proponent of allowing employees to work remotely when the culture is built for it, a co-founding relationship is a marriage. It's one of those cliche startup tips that is actually true. If you are remote, the more "face to face role" co-founder might get the feeling of being out to war while the partner is comfortable at home.

One of my biggest regrets in my first failed company was that I did not encourage my co-founder to move to my city for a few months.

Even a temporary relocation to your co-founder's city will greatly improve your productivity and comradery, building a foundation for which a future "long distance relationship" might be possible if still risky.
How to play music of a YouTube video while your iPhone is locked
I did. I didn't learn very much, as someone who has a casual interest in electronic voting. I think that pretty much everything he said was "this could never work because people would do it wrong". It's an important consideration, but I don't find it an ultimately convincing argument. I think that we can certainly construct an apparatus of trust based on existing ones (like banking and encrypted messaging) that would be sufficient.
The theory is controversial, and there are many details that are argued about. I certainly don't have a view as to which is correct, but I do think the debate is complicated by the definition of "autism." I do agree with people who believe it is a cluster of underlying conditions with some overlapping symptoms that are bundled under the same umbrella.
Step 1: Pollute the environment, causing colony collapse disorder.

It's like big pharma making money selling treatment drugs instead of developing the cure.
> neglected to include the key details

The “key detail” is Bachman was close to a traumatic, seemingly-random violent interaction in his youth. Whether it was cheese snacks or a cheese sandwich, and who attacked whom first, are largely irrelevant to the main story.
Yes, it is much worse now because of bootcamps.

The first thing to do is ask yourself if you really want to become a programmer. Do you like programming? Have you ever tried it before? How comfortable are you with computers? You might be the go-to guy/girl for your friends and family, but are you 40 hours a week comfortable? How much time are you willing to spend debugging a confusing error message before running for help? Do you get any internal gratification from writing a computer program that runs successfully? What's going to keep you going when nothing you try works and you've been bashing your head on the same problem for a week?

The reason is that there are tons of jobs within the software industry at all salary levels that do not require coding. QAs, IT recruiters, business analysts, DB admins, designers, product owners, system administrators, etc. All these people benefit directly from the software industry and many do not know a lick of coding.

I think part of it is this sort of national illusion that everyone can become a programmer. But programming is just not for everyone. Learning to program requires a high level of diligence and self-motivation. In other words, you have to enjoy it. Not everyone is going to be inspired by "public static void main(string[] args) {}." A lot of people take one programming class and know right away it's not for them, and that's totally fine.
Yeah, getting Webmin security right is possible but very challenging. Whenever I'm doing a security assessment at a client and I see traffic to/from servers on port 10000 I always make a note that there's probably some vulnerabilities there that our pentest guys will want to explore.

I have no idea if Cockpit is any more secure, but Webmin does have its fair share of security issues.
on the other hand, US has been a democracy for by far the longest. Other European countries pale in comparision, with the possible exception of the UK.
The first thing I did when I opened this article was search for "rat", and was happy to see it there. From the comments I saw I had a hunch it might be: I recently finished a really powerful chapter in the book "Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs" which describes an experiment involving rats that ostensibly shows that addiction isn't about the chemical, but rather it's about the environment and feeling alone.

But that chapter also discussed the broader challenge of escaping the view point entrenched in a generation that has only known addiction as a direct result of chemical action. And a huge part of this article, at least the first half or so I got through, painted this chemical action picture:

"The molecules derived from it have effectively conquered contemporary America." and it kept going on and on, to describe all the effects in wondrous terms, which seems to just reinforce what the book I've been reading claims are already a societal level view points.

I'm by no means qualified to speak about addiction from a public health stand point, nor do I really understand the pharmacological action of any drugs. But this book highlights many experiments or studies that indicate our current thinking is ass backwards, only to have the work squashed and funding ripped away. Now, I cannot stop but seeing these threads in most content produced regarding the drug war or opioid crisis. It'd be nice to know for sure, but it has become very difficult to even entertain the bullshit that politicians are still peddling w.r.t. to the drug war and realistic solutions.
Wow, so this comment just got me more karma than any other comment I've ever made in almost 7 years on HN!

I honestly didn't think anyone would read it, the article was already several hours old when I wrote it.

It's obviously not because it's a brilliant comment, probably a combination of timing and of saying something that "struck a nerve" with enough people.
I'd appreciate a good argument apart from downvoting. In every discussion I had about it with fellow sysaddmins we agreed the convenience of passwordless logins can't be considered a security feature in spite of what someone wrote and what others repeat.
I think it is about the phrasing. "Seek Bargains" sounds very similar to me as "Bargain Hunting", which would lend to an object more than a negotiation.
I'm not sure why anyone owes you that data. Can you elaborate?
Actually, they sold it off, and eventually it became PowerBASIC.

That was my starting point too, after some dabbling with Oric, C64, and GW-BASIC/BASICA. Nice little environment, though I wasn't all that impressed with the size of of the output executables - over 30Kb for a raw Hello World program.
What's different between this and Webmin?
For anyone using Windows with vertical monitors, I made something in AutoHotKey that helps snap windows to top/bottom half or third of the screen. This is useful if you regularly use Win+Left/Right key to snap windows to the left/right screen on landscape monitors but miss the feature on portrait monitors.

Nah, it's more of... Nowadays, it seems like the problems in the world are increasing. Programmers are probably the most insulated from the effects, but even we are starting to feel them. On HN you'd get the impression everyone makes $300k and courts VCs, but the vast majority of the audience is more along the lines of mostly broke and quiet. I know because I've talked to them.

In that context, it's very important for us all to work together. And I've been trying to think of ways for us to do that. There must be something better than the rat race to the bottom, with a few survivors reaching the top by scrambling over the fallen.

It's not you. It's the society around us that coaxes us into thinking the way you expressed. It's a cartoon, a caricature of real life. Very few people wouldn't be embarrassed to be an imposition on others, or feel like trash for not being able to afford rent. We're all trying, hard.

But there are so many people now. And some people really aren't trying, and really do put others into weird predicaments.

It's hard to mentally separate the former from the latter.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! (And I'm glad at least one person actually read through that.)

In this case, I think I was "helped" by the fact that I consider myself relatively inexperienced with both shell scripting and advanced git usage. This gave me an irrational fear that I would publish this repo and get lots of "why didn't you just do X" responses, so writing down my journey was at least one way of showing that I actually tried a few different approaches and while my eventual solution may not be the best I know it's not the worst :)
Well, non-ideal may be poor phrasing. I guess I meant to say it doesn't look like the "classic" linked list implementation.
"long and strong" randomly generated passwords can be found in password dumps too.
Some people hated real-time typing, but it made interactions feel even more immediate than Slack.

I also like that comments were a first-class citizen; part of the document. You could have an in-line conversation about a paragraph, then distill the results into the text and delete the conversation. Comments weren't another "mode" like they are in Google Docs; they were just document bubbles nested in a parent document bubble.

I've apparently flip-flopped on this; looking at a post I wrote at the time, I thought it felt wrong to delete comments.
The problem is you literally cannot trust anything positive that comes out of China. This isn't jingoism, western countries have their own issues, but China is a country set up only for rewarding positive results and severely punishing negative or even neutral results. Having worked from China in numerous jobs, a good chunk of the useful information they have is a liability as it's most likely stolen from elsewhere. To be clear this has absolutely nothing to do with the individual person, but with the risk/reward structure that exists in mainland China.

If I anticipated such action could occur, I would use an "X random words" passphrase pattern.

It's long, it's random, you don't have to look at it, and is easily communicated to someone.

Heck, I do the same for answers to security questions in case I need to communicate an answer to it for whatever reason.
I am glad you wrote this comment. I had a pretty bad feeling when I read the article but I thought maybe I am just too cynical. Most of us can be happy if they ever encounter one good option in life. They never have to deal with choosing between two very good options.
Yet another new service that 1Password is doling out only to those who buy into their new subscription model. Users who, like me, paid three times to buy the app for all their devices are left out in the cold.

I still love 1Password, but this treatment makes me unhappy.
Some questions I would have before using the platform would be:

- Does it ensure that the Notebooks posted are reproducible? (i.e. can uploaders use private modules and thus make their analysis non-reproducible)

- Does it handle privacy well? I currently work within the Analytics org of what some would consider a large company, and user-privacy is incredibly important to us. Would this only be used to post 'public' dataset analyses?
