I can't really comment on the iPad idea but in the context of Lenovo's malware install...

If you're purchasing a computer with Google software on it aren't you already handing everything to Google?

So is a Chromebook really an alternative if you're rejecting Lenovo tablets for poor security/privacy?

I've been interested in Chromebook hardware but have rejected them for security reasons previously. I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions on the mater.
I think the question here is, is she a bad coder? Is OSS an important foctor for getting a job?
^ this!

I've seen so many jquery libraries used on sites to get a quick fancy animation, but then it used something like:
setTimeout(() => { element.height += 2; }, 50)

Which literally brings a 60+fps page to <5fps on a high-end machine.
So can a process create a symlink a la

ln -s ../../.. root

And gain access? Or are symlinks now fucked with too? This seems like a poorly thought out plan, and unnecessary at that.
Uh... are you familiar with... history? Take a look at the Soviet car industry. You could take you pick from about 2 or 3 cars that were roughly 40 years old, then wait on a ten year waiting list to get one.

You do realize regulation does not work in virtue of itself, right? If you regulate something it will not magically be regulated efficiently or even adequately.
you seriously proposing to use a db driver in prod that has 1 contributor and was abandoned more than a year ago?
Yeah, I don't really buy the parent comment's insinuation that Microsoft GitHub would be more likely to fix it than GitHub previously. My company has shipped hundreds of thousands of devices with a Microsoft OS on it, and they virtually never fixed anything reported. At least one bug was very serious, and we thought they would have to fix it, but it just didn't happen.

What's hundreds of thousands to the hundreds of millions they ship every year?
Has anyone tried to use Nim on an Android or iOS app? If yes, how's the workflow, is it straightforward?
Well you could say that for anything that doesn't
a) Require 'compose' (as you say, no bundler) - so no dependency management (not ideal) or your code is so minimal it doesn't need any, which isn't the case for large projects
b) Require any infrastructure that's hosting the PHP app needing to be configured in the first place. That was conveniently overlooked. i.e. You don't even need to SFTP any files with something like Heroku or PaaS. It's an apples and oranges comparison imho
Is something preventing you from communicating your concerns directly to the administration (in person or anonymously) outside the context of a perfunctory, after-the-fact review?

I would imagine a truly poor teacher would standout for the number of unsolicited complaints.
Just as random someone who likes reading your posts, maybe there's a third way: An appendix in handbook that links to blogs like yours.

I see that there already is "an aggregation feed of dozens of blogs" linking to planet.freebsd.org which does not respond :)
Cool, but please make clickable links next time :) Will be a lot easier :)
I (as a German) was not. Reading "Deutsche", "Money Laundering" and "Searched" in one line made obviously clear what was meant. In my bubble, this institution is a synonym for organized crime.
How to Troubleshoot the OJ Pro 86100 Printer
Funnily enough that comment was a reply in a comment chain that I started.

It's absolutely correct too.
There's a company in my town that have been advertising for a C++/C# dev since I moved here (around 4 years). What are they thinking? 'Give it another 4 years and we might get lucky'?! Also they post this job on job boards, which must be costing them hundreds a month. Something doesn't add up.
Red Hat is pretty much the only Linux distro used in military systems. Purpose-built military information systems, like the Distributed Common Ground System (Army/Air Force) and (parts of the) SPY-1D radar system (Navy), generally use Linux for any purpose that does not require hard real-time guarantees.

Of course, they never really used Windows for this purpose at any point; Linux is gradually taking over for Solaris on operator consoles and AIX on the heavy processing machines.
I got married last month and thought about doing a site for a while (I just may still make one just for her sake with all the wedding pictures) but being a full-time web developer I knew it wouldn't just be slap on some pictures and HTML/CSS. I cannot tell you how many times I've struggled with CSS or JS and I use both daily! They're painful lessons, sometimes too easy to forget when you leave the front-end.
Cool idea, but:

In 2023 Your Boss Will Be a Robot (And You Will Love Her)
I was a student representative on my course at one point. I strongly considered running my own evaluation (with the same questions as the official one), and organising a boycott of the official one because of this kind of bullshit.

How the university thinks they can claim ownership of data that come's from students I will never understand.
Yeah, yeah, more PHP bashing. But PHP has very nicely cleaned up since oh 5.3 or so and with every release it's getting better. For example, to bemoan "Declaring a function called __lambda_func() completely breaks create_function()" completely ignores the fact noone should (or does) use create_function() since the introduction of proper closures. http://phpsadness.com/sad/2 is made up too, just use a constructor. There truly is no problem with PHP any more if properly used. Yeah we can rehash the arguments from the last twenty years but instead -- have you seen the language where the community and culture is so fractured someone could sneak in a bitcoin wallet stealer without anyone detecting it? The language which insists that the completely different concerns of backend and frontend development should be done in the same language? Now, that's what ridiculous!
> Isn't this a bit late?

If the culprits knew that there was information about their activities in the papers and stopped at that time then yes, it's a bit late. Nothing in the article say that though.

> how much is even stored locally on paper these days?

Depends, the article also says the police took electronic data. My guess is that there's likely to be a reasonable amount of both worth searching.
When you move things forward, you produce change, and this change inevitably bothers people who are comfortable in the existing order. These people will attack the source of the change, claiming that he's insensitive and undiplomatic or whatever merely because he doesn't let the minority that would be bothered by inconvenient change block that change.

Consequently, anyone who accomolishes something meaningful will be called a jerk. You can't do meaningful work while being universally well-liked. The world doesn't work that way.
> Elixir is not statically typed. In 2018 for a new project its hard to justify not using a typed system to make code more likely to "run" properly out of the gate or increase your confidence while refactoring it. Even a simple type system like golang's will do. No need for something complex like C++/Java/Rust etc.

Elixir was inspired by Ruby iirc and it was a project started in 2012 according to the elixir documentary by Honey.

Scripting languages without static typing have its place.

I don't believe all languages even new one starting in 2018 should be type. It depends on the language goals.

If you want a actor concurrency model with type then try Pony.
>"if it ain't broken, don't fix it"

Cost is always an inseparable part of the equation however. Going to space for $10000/kg vs $5000/kg vs $1000/kg vs $500/kg all mean very different things for what missions become feasible and the safety factor and performance of said missions too (since the latter both have mass costs). SpaceX or BO ultimately doing the job much more cheaply, carrying more mass, with simpler designs made possible by modernized ME and knowledge, and that are more adaptable to other missions (methalox for example is a favorable compromise fuel for Mars surface launches and orbital refueling), doesn't mean Soyuz would be "broken" sure but it will make it obsolete for most of the world. Ground manufacturing capability and best practices change too. Long term standing still isn't a great idea.
Its not, its a new design around a methane engine, its meant in certain configurations to replace Zenith and Proton, just like Angara, it greatly overlaps with Angara which makes many question that project.

The easiest way to get people interested in your hobby project is to write it yourself. If it's genuinely interesting, strangers will demand commit access.
So the space shuttle couldn't even replace the Soyuz for taking people to the space station and back. The Soyuz capsule stays at the space station for the duration people are there so it can be used to get everyone back if needed.

The space shuttle has a maximum mission length of 16 days so it could not fill that same role, while the Soyuz capsule can go about 6 months.

Some Principles for Fearless Learning That Will Take You a Long Way
Apart from the need to buy something every X minutes, those problems are also problems in the modern office. And instead of buying something every X minutes, you have a colleague interrupt you every X minutes for some banal thing that's quite possibly not even related to the work you're doing.

I mean, I think you could say the same about practically anywhere in Europe. Irish mobile prices were horrendous until Three showed up in the early noughties, say. But that's the past.

German prices are still weirdly high, mind you.
Heh, rent our domain for $5 a month! Or, buy the homepage, just send us pictures and captions, and pick one of our templates... Would probably work best for highly common name combinations.
> If you work for a company, prioritize whats good for the company over what your boss wants.

This sounds like some seriously bad advice. Your boss is the one deciding your fate within the company. Ignoring his goals is career suicide. The one exception I see are maybe some megacorps, where (at least in theory) your career progression is not up to your immediate manager.
Nomenclature matters, the Soyuz 5 was a fatter Zenith integrated in Russia. The Soyuz 5.* line built around methane was originally a completely different project that was haphazardly renamed in order to conceal that the original Soyuz 5 programme went nowhere.

This strikes me as a very whiny article, not worthy of publishing in the Chronicle. A lifetime of hurt feelings and resentments bubbling up into a rant full of straw men and frankly irresponsible misinformation about the role student evaluations play in instructor assessment.

It’s too bad, too, because there certainly are criticisms to be made, and this article hints at some of them. But a well designed evaluation instrument along with critical interpretation of the results and comments can be an invaluable tool for instructors who want to improve their teaching.

But unfortunately this article also spreads untruths about the weight given to student evaluations, and dismisses common-sense security protocols like having a student deliver the results instead of the instructor (not perfect of course, but the student has much less incentive to tamper) as demeaning rather than a sensible precaution.

If the author had presented any evidence whatsoever to support her claims linking student evals to grade inflation (possibly related, and I’m sure studies have been done, but evals are very far from the only obvious contributing factor), or even made a passing attempt to explain what percentage of weight is given to raw eval scores for actual tenure considerations (very little in the broad scheme of things), and cut the junk out about how universities seeing students as customers is a new thing (it’s not new at all as any skim of the history of universities as an institution will make clear, but someone at a US state university should realize that it’s skyrocketing tuition rates, and not whiny students, that give students a bigger sense of entitlement) the article would have been much better.
UN to make opposing migration illegal
I've seen a lot of cases where the professors thought exactly that. Unfortunately they were in denial because their teaching skills were abysmal.

I've seen courses where the students were memorising MATLAB scripts by rote for exams because almost none of them had sufficient understanding to have any chance of recreating it in the exam. Why? Because rather than teaching this stuff, the lecturer spent several lectures explaining the details of the representation of floating point number (this was a first-year class for math majors, not people doing CS).

But it was hard as student representatives for us to prove any of this, because we didn't have access to feedback responses.
Binance shuts down Eastern European accounts
They should be very careful with the naming. Something tells me that 'Windows For Helmets' may not inspire morale.
for the vast majority of modern projects, you don't need the performance that manual memory management provides. I would bet that 90%+ of modern software is written in a memory-managed language. If you need to leap from JS to C, it's really not that hard. But trying to learn about stack frame allocation and RAII and cache line optimisation is a lot to take on when you've just learned what a variable is.

The abstractions are what's important, memory layout is an implementation detail. Even when you're writing C or assembly, you're still thinking in terms of data flow and logic, you're just having to do a lot of the work manually. Learning the abstractions without the baggage of the implementation detail will get 90% of people 90% of the way. Once you have that solid foundation, you can go on to learn assembly or C if you need it because it's not that big a leap from a coding mindset to a hardware control mindset. But to go straight from no coding experience to hardware control is going to be more difficult for a new student to wrap their head around.
High court likely to say states can’t levy excessive fines
Let's say you are right. You can only compare students from the same class if a curve is used. And then, it doesn't tell you anything about competency. Just if they were better or worse in that small cohort.

If a class is filled with C and D students (objectively), the curve will spread them out and those C's become As. If a different class is filled with A and B students, they are spread out and those B's can fail or become C's. Now the first group's curve A's are not as good as the second group's A's, and are, in fact, worse than the second group's F's or C's.

I often set the curve in my classes. I was offered money to not do my best on exams because of how it affected other's grades. My ability or lack there of should not affect another's grade which should reflect their demonstration of subject mastery.
What makes you think Dell didn't send it? I get that the tracking code was fake but what else? (Example: direct link to a phishing site.)

There are probably more people in accounting dept of OKB Khrunichev than in whole of SpaceX.

Given that there are 5 times as many white folks as black in the US, that stat isn't saying what you think it is.

Black people are still more likely to be shot than white people.

I don't think that anyone reasonable ever claimed that the police were 'wholesale killing young unarmed black males,' just that it happens too often.

Even worse many times the "discount" or part of it is not a reduction in price but a refund from the drug company back to the insurer. So if you haven't met your deductible you may pay $300 for the drug but your insurance company is getting $100 refunded to them that goes into their coffers even though they expended nothing in the transaction.

In fact if you don't submit the claim for the medication to your insurance you may be able to reap that $100 of savings yourself in the form of a discount. Until very recently when the law changed to prevent it the contracts insurance companies had with pharmacies prevented your pharmacist from telling you that a drug could be obtained cheaper by not using your insurance.

Just don't be tempted to add all the animations you can think of after reading something like this (similar to what often happens to other developers after reading about design patterns.) If anything, you should probably err on the side of not using animation.

I enjoyed it quite a bit while playing with it about a year ago. The compiler had some bugs and the language spec had some rough edges that turned me off a bit, but I've also noticed in the year since that most (all?) of the issues I ran into got fixed. So that is promising! They have gotten a bunch of funding since then too so progress may accelerate.

They've provided some pretty reasonable information.

Not just, your account details are safe.
Bleh. Maybe it's too much to hope for a company like that to give any specifics but that's pretty empty by itself. I mean, great, they didn't use plain text(!), but "MD5 with no salt" would fit that blurb just fine too. I really hope Dell was properly using an adaptive hash, but usually when companies do a good job there they want to tout it because it does in some small way show they care somewhat despite the breach. Even if it should be the norm saying "we used bcrypt with 65k+ rounds" or whatever is legitimately reasonable to put in there.
The thing is that most university grading systems have a very high rate of false negatives. For example, in the UK it is rarely possible to retake a course. And this means that messing up a single exam can cause grade problems, even if the material is well understood.

In my experience, exams are often full of ambiguous questions, questions testing knowledge that is not part of the course syllabus, etc.

If the grading was fair, I would agree with you, but it rarely is. And IMO this is what students really hate: they put in a hell of a lot of work. They actually get to grips with the material, and for stupid reasons out of their control they end up with no credit for it.
How is that nonsense? Is it not cumbersome to do long division with Roman numerals if your only tool indeed is a pen and paper?

Or perhaps you are saying it nonsense to start the discussion with the implicit assumption that the available tool is pen and paper, and not a counting board.
It also would have been a better deal if I bought it from the official MS-Store for 145€ because it wouldn't have had all the Lenovo bloatware on it.

I personally don't want to support what Microsoft is doing with Windows so that's why I bought it from a shady ebay seller.

Of course, the more ethical solution would have been to talk her into a GNU/Linux machine but I don't have the time and energy to play IT support for the next six months.
