> neuter and emasculate yourself... and you'll live a content life.

A lot of Buddhist advice becomes very strange when taken into a secular context. It feels like there's a sense in the West of Buddhism as "less religious" than other faiths because it's less engaged with a deity, but that's a misleading approach.

It's worth remembering that most Buddhist traditions don't expect enlightenment in one lifetime, and do believe in literal, bodily reincarnation based on your behavior in this life. I can't speak to this specific verse, but "best among men is one who endures abuse" is the sort of sentiment which is very different in a world where the one abused will be reincarnated and seeks an end to that cycle more than they seek present benefit. There are bits worth using in a secular context, but as with most faiths we should also expect some advice that's grossly wrong without its spiritual framework.

(This is also worth remembering when we talk about corporate Buddhist meditation retreats and the like. They seem to assume that if enlightenment is the death of desire and ego, a little Buddhism will be a decrease of greed and selfishness. There are a lot of Buddhist traditions which are very much not about that sort of linear progress.)

Are you familiar with flotation tanks? They're pretty small and only hold a few feet of water, just enough so you can float without touching the bottom of the tank. The water is also incredibly salty, hence the "floatation" part of a flotation tank.

Point being, it would be pretty hard to drown on your own accord in a flotation tank. Perhaps he lost consciousness and drowned, but this would indicate more about Traywick's current state of health than anything else.

What evidence do you have that portion of the pie is getting smaller for most people? I do not believe this at all. It's especially not true on a global scale, where globalization has improved the lives and wealth of millions in China and India.
Many classes have a student/teacher ratio that makes such individual attention impractical.

Furthermore, if someone is ghostwriting for you all semester, the ghostwriter's voice is the voice that the teacher knows.

>Surely you lecturers are going to know your unique voice, your skill level and your opinions and a random essay by someone else is not going to be passable as your own.

In the US, the bulk of cheaters buying academic papers are in huge class sections where a majority of grading is divvied up between graduate assistants. Even if the professor strongly suspects that a student turns in a paper that isn't their own work, it's rarely worth the effort of escalating unless the paper is an obvious and provable case of plagiarism. Plagiarism is a very hard claim to prove when the paper one submits is bespoke.
> Thus C, while not low-level relative to actual hardware, is low-level relative to programmers' mental model of programming

Programmers' mental model of programming is not a homogeneous set. I'm pretty comfortable in LabView, for example; a language that is extremely parallel (the entire program is composed of a graph of producer / consumer nodes and sequential operation, if desired, must be explicitly requested).
> You may be familiar with Operators from the concept’s introduction in 2016. An Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes application.

"Operators", as introduced in 2016, were just bespoke Go programs that communicated with Kubernetes internals in a pretty low-level way.

You were writing special-case plugins for Kubernetes, but they didn't want to make it sound that way, because I guess that just doesn't sound hip or devopsy. This branding exercise worked out for CoreOS -- Red Hat just bought them.

This whole space is massively infused with bullshit. It's because all of these companies want to make money selling you cloud stuff, because it's profitable to rent computers at 3-5x the TCO. Google especially is hungry to claw back the lead in the cloud space from Amazon, and it's not hard to conceive why Kubernetes doesn't seem to work without fuss anywhere except GKE, or to understand the massive marketing dollars that Google is pumping into this whole Kubernetes farce (and for the record, Google seems to consider HN an important platform for k8s PR; I've been censured after too many Googlers found my k8s-skeptical posts "tedious").

Anyway, I guess that's neither here nor there. Just annoyed at what is by now the totally conventional status quo of overhyped empty promises made by people who seem more like ignorant promoters and fanboys than serious engineers.

This "Operator Framework" seems to be the same concept of Operators, just with additional library support for the plugins -- err, "Operators". It may be a good improvement, will have to research more.

Helm is a package manager. Think of it like apt for Kubernetes.

Operators enable you to manage the operation of applications within Kubernetes.

They are complementary. You can deploy an operator as part of a Helm Chart. I recently wrote a blog post that explains how the different tools relate. https://codeengineered.com/blog/2018/kubernetes-helm-related...
When a friend of mine passed away, GitHub changed his account into an org for us, so we could use it for a memorial.

I did work in graduate school trying to make the Cell easier to program - basically, providing OpenMP-like abstractions that would take advantage of the SPEs. I've always been really curious: how much did your games take advantage of the SPEs? When did you send code to the SPEs versus using the GPU? Were you using libraries that helped managing the SPEs, or did you do all of it manually?
It's always intriguing to see how people justify grossly unethical behavior to themselves.

I don't think the issue is your disservice to higher education in general or grade systems as a whole, but to your customers, who never receive the education they were meant to, and that they paid for.
If their client and team is happy, then what could they work harder at? Should they have bags under their eyes when you come check on them? Should they be the one to turn off the lights and lock the doors at the end of the day?
>the argument made was that predicting likely-parallelizable code is actually a lot harder to do at compile time

So don't do it at compile time? That's really a very weak argument against the Itanium ISA, and honestly more of an argument against the AOT complication model. Take a runtime with a great JIT, like the JVM or V8, and teach it to emit instructions for the Itanium ISA. (As an added advantage these runtimes are extremely portable and can be run, with less optimizations, on other ISAs without issue.)

The problem, as always, is that nobody with money to spend ever wants to part with their existing software. (Likely written in C.) In 2001 Clang/LLVM didn't even exist, and I'm not familiar with any C compilers of the era that had so much as a rudimentary JIT.

The point I'm trying to make with the analogy is that the x86 instruction set is not representative of what the hardware is actually doing.

It is not "low level" because it is an abstraction or virtual platform that the processor exposes and then interprets using its own internal resources and programming interface (microcode). The x86 interface does not map closely to the actual hardware, just as the article states. It exposes a flat memory model with sequential execution and only a handful of registers.

Much the same way that the JVM exposes a virtual machine that doesn't directly map to any of the platforms that it runs on. It's an abstraction that is interpreted or compiled at runtime.

I don't understand why you think the two are so different just because the JVM is higher level.

I've seen some PC motherboards that contained integrated "POST card" in the form of bunch of LEDs or pair of 7segment displays. Sadly this seems to got replaced by few highlevel LEDs and bunch of meaningless ones, which includes stuff like backlighted PCB.

By the way many DEC Alpha boards had large amount of LEDs near the CPU (probably driven directly by the CPU) which shown state of PALcode (and thus blinked in entertaining way even when the system is up and running)

Your argument seems similar to somebody saying that it is okay to litter because the environment is screwed anyway. You may be correct in your criticism of the educational system, but how does that justify you making the situation worse?
I'm guessing the target of this kind of service are large classes where the professor can't practically get to examine each person's essays and internalize that unique voice. Classes like that also tend to not require a lot of in-class participation, again because it isn't practical to do with a large number of students. As for finding people "skilled in the particular cirriculums," I'm guessing this is meant for some of the lower level/introductory classes where the cirriculum is going to be more or less the same everywhere.
I will agree that 3 incidents over 5 years is closer to the normal.

>if someone is ghostwriting for you all semester, the ghostwriter's voice is the voice that the teacher knows.

This is also true. My agencies took care to assign repeat clients back to the same writers.
I wouldn't be so sure. We humans tend to agree about what's right and wrong. Most disagreements seem to stem from divergent factual beliefs. Take a libertarian and an anarchist for instance. One will typically say owning a factory is perfectly legit, the other is more likely to see it as immoral. But that's not because they have different morals. It's because they disagree about the factual consequences of owning a factory.

Resolve the factual disagreements, and most moral disputes go away.
Manhattan proper is an urban area but Frankfort and Wheaton both discussed in the article are within 45 miles of Manhattan. You dont have to go more than a few miles outside of Manhattan to be back in "Rural" areas.

Agreed on the further away from a true city comment, that is whats happening in Western KS.
The lecturers don't know your voice if you've been paying a surrogate the whole time! As for the seminars, there are very few classes that involve actually defending your papers. Perhaps you'd find one at a very small school, or at a very senior level in a major with a heavy emphasis on writing. Even then, the cheater might just end up known as someone who can't speak very well but writes passable papers. (Don't just focus entirely on someone paying to fake a position as the brightest student around, that might not even be possible due to the rarity of people like that in any pool including the pool of paper-writers. You've also got to consider that someone who is not remotely qualified might pay to appear barely-competent.)

I can't upvote this enough. The Social Justice Warrior scene seems more concerned about embarrassing anyone that disagrees, posting passive/aggressive meme gifs, and receiving likes/retweets than solving any real issue.
Even then, the interesting part doesn't even seem to be in this article. Read the WSJ article for more clarity[1].

The issue raised was that the "privacy non-profits" were 1) law schools that the plaintiff's attorneys went to, or 2) non-profits that Google already consistently donated money to. So it's a settlement that predominantly consisted of altering the timing of regular donations by Google plus a kickback to the attorney's law schools.

Supporting https is only an infinitesimal part of what makes downloading apps on the internet like playing Russian Roulette. It still doesn't prevent unsuspecting users from downloading malware, adware, ransomware, and apps that siphon user data. It also doesn't prevent users of sites depending on third party ad networks from being a victim of the same vulnerabilities they are now.
Correct. For low-level language, we may actually want to look more in the direction of HLSL or GLSL.

I think it hurts them too.

Have you even done a shitty job? It's soul-destroying. In high school I answered an ad in the paper and ended up doing "charity fundraising" by telephone. It turned out that the charity only got ~15% of the money raised. The people working there were all sleazeballs. I'm sure had I stayed there I would have ended up a sleazeball as well.
Thanks for the reply. Instapainting looks like a great service btw.
So many charts and such a boring conclusion.

Why is the male attractiveness axis flipped in that big blue box? Why is it not mentioned that the turquoise area stretches only on one axis and not the other? Does that mean that super attractive women are more likely to engage with less attractive men than the other way around? I struggle to understand the chart.

Their old data posts (pre-acquisition) were exciting and captivating like short novels with few, but very clear charts. This made me pity professors at uni that have to read uninspired papers and theses at the end of the semester. Sorry.
To add some information about the technical sales roles here -- these are ideal for anyone who is currently in an engineering role but wants to transition to something more customer-facing (especially if you're interested in going into sales). Of course, people already doing this job somewhere else are also very welcome to apply!

These are our first SA/SE hires, so you would have the opportunity to help shape how we do our technical sales. We can help teach you how to negotiate and close deals, navigate enterprises, and generally go through the sales process.

We're especially interested with people with a DevOps background and experience with Docker and Kubernetes, but are also interested in talking to developers who want to move into sales. As `fortysixpercent mentioned, our product is very technical and our buyers are as well; so you'd spend most of your time talking with very smart engineers working on cool projects. Feel free to ping me directly if you have any questions; I'd be glad to chat with anyone thinking about applying beforehand. My contact info is in my profile!
Somewhat relevant: A friend took my phone (playfully) and posted this as a status on my profile a while ago. I left it up because I found it funny. Now that it's easier to delete I may actually just do that.
