It seems like a spoonerism is unintentional. I feel like a pun for most people means word play.

Spoonerism.
a verbal error in which a speaker accidentally transposes the initial sounds or letters of two or more words, often to humorous effect, as in the sentence you have hissed the mystery lectures, accidentally spoken instead of the intended sentence you have missed the history lectures.

That's true for sure but isn't it also deadly to inhale water into the lungs? I think I saw it's like 6 Tbps of water can kill you when inhaled. It feels like it's possible that that happened and, since it's dark and "sensory deprivation" happened that he couldn't figure out what was going on (since he had just waken up) and ended up inhaling more? I'm not really certain.

As someone who worked as a grad student in a large Midwestern university, these "paper writing" services have been around since the dawn of time.

As a grad student, it was hilariously easy to spot these for several reasons. One, the writing style is usually inconsistent. You'll have a student writing at about a high school level suddenly start using huge $5 words? Highly unlikely. Or a student who writes almost exclusively on one topic (our school had a ton of ag engineers so anything farm related was a favorite) and then suddenly is interested in the micro-economics of island based economies? Yeah, that's a big rad flag too.

As a University, our golden rule to clamp down on these was to require all local sources, no internet sources, and have the ability to go back and look at other papers the student has turned in for comparison. We'd normally bust students, then give them two or three days to turn in a paper they actually wrote with no penalties.

Most of these situations were just due to being lazy and not caring (I was in the Sociology department) so it wasn't so much about cheating as it was just getting the students to think critically and write better.
Start by installing and running the tk4 MVS distribution. There are lots of youtube videos about it. Watch everything you can find in video about mainframes. Read a lot of IBM docs. Start by the ABC's of Z/OS Programming or some older equivalent, since you won't be running the newest system on the emulators anyway.

This article just repeats things that have been said for 10 years now. It's great finally people wake up to the fact facebook is a twisted service, but let's not pretend there is anything innovative about this thougth.
Actually they will be able to ask for higher rents, as with lower sales and income taxes, the renters suddenly have extra cash that will eventually trickle towards rent.
Google owns and operates the TLD.

Many registrars will sell .app names, but they pay a portion of every sale to Google.
To counter your point, it is not just cardboard. It is laser cut wood. A far more expensive material, and manufacturing process.

Right, and the point I'm trying to make is this is a pretty lousy analogy. For one thing, an x86 CPU is not nearly as VM-y as you make it out - renamed registers are very much real registers, big piles of the most common instructions execute in 1 or 2 uOps. For another, the VM you've picked as an example is singularly uncpu-like. C also exposes an abstract machine, would you use that as an analogy? Probably not.

'An abstraction that is interpreted or compiled at runtime' is so broad it's exactly the what I said up top - it's analogous in the way everything is analogous to everything else. It's the sort of thing that might be true if you squint but offers somewhere between zero and negative insight.
Can someone explain how does one serve content on a domain they don't own, like in this case Souq.com? Do they shove their content to something like product reviews or what?

EDIT: I realized they use souqcdn.com. Does this mean it works because their clients use "souqcdn.com" to resolve to CloudFront CDN's IP address and then they craft a different Host header (like "Host: api.signal.org").

Also how can they possibly use CDN for this? As far as I know, CDN works only with GET requests, so how are they doing a chat app on this?
Here's what I do: take a day off from work when I know everyone will be gone. Then, I have the house to myself to listen to music loud, read, whatever.

It feels like the author really isn't talking so much about the limitations of C on modern architectures, but the architecture itself.

Your "shibboleths" come off as somewhat smug and self-congratulatory, IMHO.

E.g.:
> You think comments are a last resort for documenting an algorithm.

Right, would like to see you implement tf-idf weights in a vector-space model without any comments. Super helpful for devs who come in after you.

> You understand the illusion of complexity and why simplicity is always better.

Who's pro-complexity? What dev sits around and says, "Wow, this is too easy to understand, I need to make it more confusing"? Complexity is a result of many factors but intent is typically not one of them.

> You can and have extracted declarative implementations out of imperative code. You know when it’s worth it and when it’s not.

Speaking as a hiring manager I'm not sure I can think of a less applicable signal as to whether or not a candidate would be a good hire than something this specific.

What this list really should be titled is, "A List of Things I Know and Am Proud of" not potential signals for good hires.

Not saying this to cut you down, just to let you know it's written in a tone that's over-specific and (to the average reader) arrogant. If I may I suggest rewriting it sound more inclusive, exciting and positive instead of "I'm so great because I know these things and you should too."

Just my two cents.

Tiramisu: A Code Optimization Framework for High Performance Systems
I know we'd all love to fix the bay area housing problem here. The most obvious answer is to increase the supply. But, fixing the zoning laws and allowing developers to build isn't the only thing that's standing in the way. The problems are too numerous to fix: NIMBYs sueing developers, CEQA, Proposition 13, AND don't forget about the underlying labor cost (all our middle class people's aren't going to come back, after having been forced out). The bay area has forever lost it's ability to produce cost effective housing. One article I read, said that San Jose rents would have to increase another 25% to 4.75$ per sq foot, just to allow developers to break even on high rise construction! This points to some serious fundamental problem with our economy here in the bay area and it's not going to fixed with just one or two adjustments to the above reasons. We've kindof Venezuela'd our bay area economy here.

Edit: here is the link (4.25 - 4.75$/sq foot to build in San jose!): https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/27/construction-costs-co...

By all means, let's work to fix the problem. But, for anyone who wants to get cost effective housing in the next 30 years: I'm sorry to say it, its time to bail out. We need to start lobbying software companies to get the heck out of the bay area and CA in general.

Let's get Elon musk to build one of those hyperTubes to some city like Austin, Denver, Albuquerkee, or madison, WI. maybe some of us could commute in for 4 days a week or something.
I haven't used a single dating app that could be classified as "flickr for nudes" so I'm not sure what they're referring to. Even some escort sites couldn't be classified like that.

Facebook is a good vessel for a dating app because (A) Facebook profiles are probably the most annoying profile to fake and (B) the content you have on Facebook has some authenticity because your other friends generally see it as well.

For example, last I used Tinder, it forced you to use pictures you've used as Facebook profile pictures and showed your mutual friends in common.

If you limited your matches to people with at least one mutual friend, you probably wouldn't get any bots.
What’s the incentive? Easy election vs impossible odds, what would you choose?

You can look at C++ AMP too, it runs with all GPUs that support DX11 on Windows, and is a part of the Windows SDK. It's implemented by AMD ROCm on Linux, which also implements HIP/CUDA.

Yeah the "public roads for everyone" point is always the immediate response to the Waze debate, and it's accurate. But really the opposing viewpoints are:

- my "right" to drive to somewhere as quickly as possible

- living on a street without cars zipping by

City planners didn't plan out streets for Waze. We generally have small, slower streets feeding into larger, faster streets. The smaller streets weren't designed to be thoroughfares. And sure there were people who knew shortcuts, but with Waze, it's a magnitude more drivers.

So you can't fault homeowners for being upset by this change. And the folks driving on these sidestreets aren't legally trespassing, but they're probably speeding, and that's the crux of most complaints.

If the re-routed folks were driving carefully at 15-25mph on these sidestreets, I don't think anyone would care. But they're usually going 35mph or whatever is the usual speed limit on the main thoroughfare. Their mindset they just dodged some traffic and now's they need to make up some time.

And as a result homeowners need to ask the city to install traffic calming measures like speedbumps in their neighborhood to make it less attractive for re-routing.
I agree completely. Effort is the largest component in meeting new people IMO.
But they are. With SNI you are literally lying to the Amazon load balancer, which is one of the two parties of your encrypted communications.

Out of curiosity; are their any VR platforms which pair with a drone such that the orientation of the drone is based on the direction your head looks? (I have neither a drone, nor a VR headset)

Or are drones oriented only by hand-held controls?
No. The TLD ".app" is on the HSTS preload list shipped with the browser, so the browser will only accept connections over SSL. It's up to you as the domain registrant to make sure your site supports it.
SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK (or London or REMOTE)

I am Robin and have been doing commercial software development for 15 years. I've worked on a large variety of stacks, including Javascript, C#, Java, Ruby on Rails and PHP. I've written useful code in Haskell, Scala, and C, and I've developed FPGA-based systems in Verilog. Oh, and I've done a fair bit of React and Redux, including giving a talk explaining Redux at a local meet-up.

I've also managed developers and lead multi-disciplinary teams in agile environments. I enjoy mentoring and working with other developers and non-developers to design good solutions and then implement them.

I have a PhD in Computer Science if that floats your boat; 95% of the time it's no use at all, but occasionally if we need something fancy I know where to look for it.

I'm looking for interesting projects where my polyglot skills and wide range of experience will come in handy, either in developing software, or helping you work out how to develop better. I enjoy working with others but can also work well alone if you just need something doing quickly and well.

Evite is a smallish company working with quite a lot of scale, users and growth. It often feels like a startup atmosphere because you can have a huge impact on the business, but we are far more stable than a startup and have a good work-life balance.

Our back-end services are all Python and front-end is React and es6. We are also hiring for mobile development, iOS (Swift) and Android developers (Kotlin).

We offer all the things you'd expect, plus you'll get to work with a group of diverse, fun people on a social project that really matters. We're fundamentally about bringing people together, face to face. We judge ourselves on how many real life events we can help make happen.

But the result may be Amazon getting blocked in those countries, which could cause Amazon financial and logistical harm.

I'm all for Signal helping people bypass state censorship, but they're attempting to bring third parties into the fold and use them as fodder for the cause.
They aren't serving content on that domain. They just make requests look like they are going to that domain in the outer layer (by using it as the TLS server name), but the actual request inside the encryption is for a different domain they own. The load-balancer in front of the cloud service accepts the connection for souq.com (since it is responsible for that too it has the matching server certificate), decrypts the request, sees in the request that its for "signal.org" or whatever and delivers it there.
"on allocation" means if/when they acquire it themselves to assign to you. If that doesn't happen, you don't get invoiced.
This seems like a good place to throw this out there and get some feedback. My proposal on how to fix copyright:

1. Everyone must register their copyright in a searchable database. Registration is free and good for 10 years.

2. At the end of 10 years, you must renew your copyright. If you have transferred ownership, you must submit the chain of custody.

Edit: New option 3a.

3. The cost of renewal will be 10% of the estimated value of the copyright to the rights holder for the next ten years.

3a. The cost of renewal will be 10% of what you made off of it in the last 10 years. If you made nothing you pay nothing. You can renew two times and pay nothing. After that you either have to commercialize or release the copyright. This fee will be on top of income taxes, but be enforced the same way, through audits similar to the IRS. This would obviate the need for 4a/b.

4a. To keep the rights holder honest, after they submit their estimated value, any other person may buy the copyright from them for 110% of the estimated value within 90 days.

4b. Another way to keep them honest instead is to make the rights holder submit tax forms to prove their estimate was valid, and pay a penalty if they were too far off.

5. If it's not in the database or the fee isn't paid, it's public domain.

6. Initial registrations for existing copyrights will be done on a rolling basis on the closest decennial anniversary of the initial copyright. The person registering must show proof that they currently own the copyright by demonstrating that they were the creator or they purchased the or inherited the rights from the creator.

7. You may extend your copyright for as long as you want, as long as you pay the fee.

I think this addresses most everyone's concerns.

- Disney gets to keep Mickey Mouse forever, as long as they keep making money from it.

- The public no longer has to wonder if a particular work is copyrighted or not, because if it's not in the database then it isn't copyrighted.

- Creators are still incentivized to create because they can hold a monopoly as long as it's valuable to them.

- If you go with option 4a, then it might actually make for even greater works. For example, Fox owns the rights to Star Wars Episode 4. But that alone is not nearly as valuable to them as it is to Disney, who could put it in box sets. So Fox is now incentivized to sell their copyright since it Disney could come in and buy it for 110% of what they claim it is worth to them.

This is a work in progress, and I'd love to know where I missed things.
There can be shades of everything of course. If a cheater uses a legitimate ghostwriting service, maybe doesn't rise to the level of 'immoral'.

But that might not be the case here?
Knowing the internet, I assume this has already happened... only thing that changes now is they're legally allowed to do it.
the actual two hard problems are cache invalidation and naming things, but cash invalidation doesn't quite fit into that :-P
