Uh no, you learning about a scandal for the first time is not what makes it a scandal. This crisis been an ever increasing scandal since last year, and reports that the Nobel foundation were considering cancelling the Literature prize this year started surfacing at the start of April.

The academy themselves announcing that there will be no prize this year is a way to avoid the humiliation of being kicked out from that role by the Nobel foundation.

Funnily, because of the 2/3 transition, Python became a language obsessed with encoding correctness. Hence the team spent a great deal improving the situation, from version to version during the last 10 years.

For a fantastic read (from Victor Stinner himself) on all the work done and get how twisted this get when you want to be cross plateform and abstract it:

Windows and Linux FS encoding, of course, are at the center of the challenge.

It's also the reason why we now have a __fspath__ protocol that allows any object to be converted to a file system path instead of having pathlib.Path inheriting from string.

Yeah this might be exagerated. I'm also being very "armchair social scientist" about all of this, but I have heard this narrative multiple times.

It's very likely I'm falling into the trap of the compelling narrative that matches a worldview, but I used to not have this worldview...

There are so many stories that ultimately end up with some narrative like "people with $2 million homes don't want to let other people have $200,000 apartments", and reading that over and over makes me pretty jaded about prospects.

> For example, if you have 10 cards on the first row, then there are at most 10 paths to the end, but those can merge

In fact they must converge, suppose that the first card on the first row is less than 10, then it will merge with another path on the first move (because it will land on the first row), so it must be 10 to have no merging paths. The next card will merge with another path on the first row if it's less than 9, but if it's 9 it will merge with the first path, so it too must be 10. Same reasoning goes for the third, fourth and fifth card, however there are only 4 cards with value 10, so at least two of the paths on the first row merge within one move.

> Texts from Irisagrig were scattered everywhere, some popping up on eBay and at auction sites, and as far and wide as Australia and South America.

This makes me so sad. With all those looting going on, whether in Iraq, Syria or Egypt, we lose our history. With all those artifacts scattered all over the world, the scientists straggle to reconstruct the history because of the lost context.

I understand, this all comes down to money at the end of the day, but on at least ethical grounds (not to mention the legal ones) Ebay and other auction houses bear the responsibility for looting practices, encouraging the looters. They have to work on some mechanism to make it stop, like a strict provenance control policy before the objects are listed for sale.
Lessons from Nashville's Failed Transit Plan
Ask HN: How did you learn Algorithms and Data Structures?
I’m going through a spout of terrible imposter syndrome because of this, somehow getting 4 years into the industry with no college education or really any mentoring. I have severe gaps in knowledge in algorithms and data structures as a result, which makes almost any interview I do entirely a waste of time for both parties. I’d love to go to college, but due to ongoing health concerns (cancer, damn you!) I need ongoing good health insurance, and only a job can provide that.

Are there any good resources for learning algorithms and data structures that I can go through on my own time? How did other self-taught engineers get through this hurdle? Thanks!

Some??? You mean concepts like Money, God, the State, Law, debt, marriage, responsibility :)
Well, I don't exactly remember what I was doing (it was, like, an year ago or so), but I've de-provisioned a C1 to temporarily release its system volume as I wanted to attach it to another server (to make changes there). IIRC, I've messed up my root partition a little bit, had some nbd issues with recovery kernel, and decided to just reattach the volume to another C1 instead. And then, basically, what I wrote - someone got lucky and got the computing resources I've freed, so I wasn't able to spin things up.

Agreed. Had the case simply been that the spouse of one of the committee members was accused of sexual harassment then it would never have ended up like this. It's the financial aspect and the academies continued refusal to deal with the problem that caused this. Sexual harassment was mainly the catalyst.

The C++ compiler can't enforce many of these rules (and many of the ones it does claim to enforce, it only does heuristically), and the document itself is not shy about admitting that. It also makes quite clear that it expects not just mechanical checking, but things like peer review, to take these guidelines into account--meaning yes, you are expected to know a large portion of the document. Also, a lot of the listed enforcement mechanisms are literally just flagging suspicious code--you would have to disable a tremendous number of such flags to execute many perfectly reasonable programs. Stop misleading people about the contents of this document actually being enforced by the compiler, please.

Is there some example page I can look at to see if this even works?
From the legal perspective, the factual aspect is that the academy should have acted on the corruption where one family member made a decision to grant funding to an other family member. This is classic nepotism and in Sweden a actually crime (Jäv) and a problem which international anti-corruption agency has highlighted to be an issue in Sweden. Its a common theme for the nation funded investigating journalism program called Uppdrag Granskning, through sadly rarely recognized in the public discussions around corruption.

When the Academy issued an internal investigation by a lawyer firm, the report they got back had very little to say about the alleged sexual harassments. It did however recommend that they should report the corruption and for some reason the Academy decide against it. After some major public outcry covering mostly the alleged sexual harassments, the Academy suddenly turned about and are now following the recommendation and has reported the corruption to the police.

What I would like to think is that the corruption charges would have come up to light regardless of the sexual harassment accusations, but I guess thats the current political climate in Sweden. Now it is being used as a proxy to address the sexual harassment accusations which is extremely suboptimal.

Agreed. Once I discovered it I realized that tomatoes from the farmer's market might as well have been a completely different fruit from the tomatoes at the grocery store as the taste difference was that striking.

do u think this works?
the fact that they must merge is really dependent on the distribution of cards within the deck, though. For example, imagine if your deck was filled with 9s. You would get 2 paths merging but not much else.

Of course with the standard 52-pack you'll end up with a high degree of merging. I just think it's important to say that the necessity of merging is really dependent on the instruction set, so to speak.
> How do I avoid becoming insecure about my background?

The only people that care about that stuff are insecure themselves. Don't care what people like that think about you.

Rick Perry: The future is in supercomputers
Of the committee.

He's not and never has been on the committee. His wife is. And no one has been kicked off the committee.

If it's credible, why hasn't he been convicted.

Because building a case strong enough to stand up in court in situations like these is really hard and the police/prosecutors have decided not to priorities it.

But the core of the matter isn't really the sexual harassment, it's the fact that the Academy apparently knew about several cases of both sexual harassment and, more importantly, possible financial fraud/corruption involving this individual and instead of dealing with it, decided to protect him. The sexual harassment charges are just the events that brought these more serious charges to light.

I wonder what PDA you are referring to.

15 years ago would be the heyday of the Palm and there, lots of software was free or even open source. I certainly didn't need to buy any software back then to fill that little productivity machine.

I tried doing this to my AMS1 region VC1L server but after powering off/on the server it was still using the old hypervisor (C2xxx atom). I noticed that the Start Range servers are all out of stock so I suppose they did fallback to old ones.

Edit: Just received a second message from them. Turns out I a missed part of their blog post that says that the update is not yet available in AMS1 region.

It's weird what things were expensive. I can confirm soldering irons used to be expensive.

Generally speaking tools are much, much cheaper in relative terms than they used to be.

No, it doesn't. And that's not the issue. It's OK to make mistakes if you learn from them to prevent them from happening twice or trice. But apparently even if paid premium they don't. There were soooo many password db hacks and cracks in the recent years, I can't believe people still defend bad software engineering as if mistakes is a natural occurrence which cannot be prevented. You can't prevent singular mistakes, but you well damn can make it hard to exploit them!

If you keep and let bad developers in software security even if they made the same mistakes (and mistakes of others) repeatedly there won't be any security left. So what's the point?

Yes, but more channels are better. The spatial resolution of human hearing is pretty impressive, and stereo+headphones doesn't really do it justice.
