First of all, that's not how menstruation works. Like, at all. Educate yourself.[1] I also don't know what the hell you're referring to when you say "utensil" but women throughout history had a lot of substitutes for the modern menstrual pad.[2] Contrary to you're very ignorant beliefs, they didn't just walk around bleeding all over the place until tampons were invented.

>Every topic has plenty of literature published. ... CS isn't special.

Not as nicely made video lectures. I doubt I can find video classes of some of the upper electives I took in engineering. Sure - textbooks have always been available. But they are dense, and rarely does a class cover the whole book. It helps to have a professor point out "You should know this" and "Don't bother with this - it's just academic detail."
Programmers, maybe ones on HN especially, are super conservative and anti-labour for some reason. I don't know the history of Silicon Valley enough to figure out exactly why

God— when I was younger, if a kid was caught with anything not class-related the teacher would just take it from them and keep it for the duration of the class, or until the end of the day—when they could pick it back up. We didn't have cell phones then, but kids had Gameboys or toys or comic books.

If there was an urgent matter, your parents could contact or have someone contact the school itself.

There's "using threads at all" and there's "using threads as component of your exported architecture". The vast majority of your code should work if there's one worker thread or a hundred. You shouldn't be using threads to save state while some long running IO operation blocks you for instance. Even if you have computationally expensive work that screams threads, you should split them into small jobs backed by a priority queue anyway because that's how you most effectively distribute work regardless of one core or many.
From what you are saying, programmers are now just a set of workers in a factory, shouting “power to the people”.

Playing the Long Game in Systems
The comment you're replying to is hot-blooded, but your question has a simple answer nonetheless. Sergei Brin stands in front of the "activist employees" at an all-hands and tells them that he strongly disagrees with some of their political beliefs, and that while they're welcome to advocate for them, those beliefs will find little purchase so long as he remains president of Alphabet.

But that's not how he runs that company -- which is the point.
In some places the water tastes really horrible. It's of course safe to drink, but it tastes horrible. I don't think this is a good argument (I know it's not yours).
I hate to say....the explanation is a bit wrong.

Music is based off of ratios in between each other. An Octave is 1:2 (For example, A1 = 440 Hz, A2 - 880Hz, etc.). But the fundamental ratio for modern music is the Fifth. Thr first eight fifths of F is C, G, D, A, E, B. Re arranged, that is also C, D, E, F, G, A, B (a Major Scale). If you go to 12 Fifths from F, you get the chromatic scale. This will work for any starting note, and is why we have 12 Major Scales.

However, we typically say a fifth has a 1:1.5 Ratio. This is an approximation due to the overtone series. When a string vibrates (or a horn vibrates, take your instrument), it vibrates at a fundamental frequency and several harmonics above it as well. I cannot find it exactly, but I believe it is closer to 1:1.48 to make overtones work. This means the math does not work out between a Fifth and an octave. To solve this issue, we use the approximation on the piano so that the fifth and Octave line up exactly for the ratios (we tune fifths slightly sharp and octaves slightly flat).

Now remember how I said music is all based off of ratios? Due lot this, we need a common fundamental frequency that everybody can agree to tune to. The musical world as decided on the A=440 Hz (which is close to the middle of the piano). Due to the fact that the reference frequency is in the middle of the piano, as you get out further, the approximation rears its ugly head.

This is why pianos are tuned "out of tune" at extremes.
Statisticians are actually the winners on this one:

Unless you do it right.
The problem with approaches like this is that they're prone to false positive/negatives. Take the example above — you could move more payload into the REQUEST variable (say a Cookie header), do more of the array of numbers so no individual token is that noteworthy, you could do something like toss that into a wrapper so someone sees something which looks like (and may actually be) an x509 cert or GPG public key with some misleading comment about that being used to verify updates, toss it into an image or other “fixture” in a test directory a la event-stream, etc.

This is a much harder problem than anything someone is going to come up with in an HN reply on first reaction. People have been working on it for decades but it's especially hard because once a technique becomes popular an attacker can run offline attacks against it and not release their exploit until they've confirmed that it's not detected.

Which isn't acceptable either. To some degree, people look towards autonomous vehicles as a way of reducing the number of fatalities/injuries on the road. If they're not better than humans & the other benefits don't add up, they won't be accepted.
Obligatory joke: I used to be a structuralist, but now I'm not Saussure.

It's a way of tuning so that all semitone intervals are an equal [2^(1/12)] frequency ratio. The vast majority of western music, today, uses equal temperament. This includes most recorded performances of JS Bach's pieces.

It wasn't particularly common in Bach's time, though, and the math to do it 'properly' wasn't even known outside of China.

Today, though, it's everywhere. Modern Woodwinds are equal temperament due to the placement of the holes. To match that, the entire orchestra is in equal temperament, regardless of the requirements of the instrument.

Guitars are in equal temperament due to the placement of their frets -- to do otherwise would require frets that bend between strings.

In isolation, people will [attempt to] sing in equal temperament, because that's what 'all' accompaniment is like.

Barbershop quartets, acapella groups, and to some extent string quartets have a tendency to shift harmony notes toward simple fractions of the root note of the chord, on the fly, even as the overall melody runs in equal temperament. This isn't a different 'tuning', per se, but it is a thing.
A US high school graduate with enough Advanced Placement classes can skip the first year of university (at least for public universities which accept those credits). But only well funded high schools can afford to offer that many AP classes.

On the other hand, I question the utility of most university CS curriculums. There are usually only one or two classes covering the core "algorithms" knowledge that autodidacts might not have, given how many people squeak through these classes by copying HW, I'm not convinced that anything really sticks.

One doesnt have to realy on the most amazing sensors in a car if the city can be responsible for driving the vehicles down its pathways.

Let the traffic light system dictate what cars are movingg in which direction.

Ensure that the cars never enter a crosswalk or bike lane etc.

As a fun fact too, the overtone series is also why you have different size pianos. The longer string gives you a different overtone, and if i recall right, the overtone is "more in tune" overtone series (if there are any piano folks in here and I got that wrong, please forgive me, I am a mere trombone player).
>And the error(s) in arithmetic occurred outside any unsafe block.

This is completely misleading. The unsound check for integer overflow[0] was in 'safe' code but just because the code is not in an unsafe block does not absolve you of any potential bugs, and the subsequent writes to memory that were in an unsafe block clearly did not care about prior mistakes that were made. The PR that introduced the vulnerability[1] was due from switching a safe method to one that uses unsafe for performance reasons, I suggest checking out the commits for both the introduction of this bug as well as the commit that fixed it as they're both short and the actual bug only occurs on one short line.

It's also worth noting that the vulnerability could have been found using a fuzzer[2] that did not exist (for Rust) at the time but that does now exist, and that integer overflows are checked for on debug builds (but not for release builds by default, again due to performance reasons) but that in this particular vulnerability it would have been extremely unlikely that any legitimate code would have triggered this integer overflow.

The take away here isn't that 'even 'safe' languages get it wrong', but that unsafe operations are difficult to do correctly, and that's true in either C or Rust. There's further discussion[3] on this bug if anybody is interested.

Funny thing is that Dr. Valter Longo suggests the exact opposite - a take-in of 80 grams of olive oil a day: https://valterlongo.com/cardiovascular-diseases/

I read both books - "How not to die" (Greger) and "the Longevity Diet" - and I thought about their opinions as well. ATM I tend to stick to good oils from plants as well as nuts. Greger is not very convincing - mostly because he suggests nuts as well, and a good produced oil (like extra virgine olive oil) does not loose much nutritional value. I don't care about reduced antioxidants in oil if I combine it with greens that have loads of them.
You succeed at programming by spending countless hours on your own with a computer. Your career is a direct result of your own hard work and passion. From that perspective, organized labor seems like an unnecessary dependency. Programming is a form of extreme independence many will be hard fought to give away.

> Does any other species innovate without evolution?

Technically yes, but for all practical purposes no. Different clans of primates (chimpanzees iirc) have "innovated" distinct and novel ways to get food, specific to their clan. These are not innate, they are taught within the clan and passed down from generation to generation. With this, they share a common cultural knowledge and can preserve it into the future.

From a practical point of view, the speed of this "innovation" is glacial, but not all that different from the pace of human progress for most of our history.

So what makes us different? I'd argue that the evolution of speech/language provided the most important initial boost. With language, all cultural knowledge, including innovations, becomes so much easier to retain across generations.
Many people being raised today do not even realize there is any significance in the capitalization. I personally don't see any significance in the capitalization, as a christian god has just as much weight as any other deity. Instead of attributing the lack of capitalization to some intent of the person using the word, the author of this article should attribute it to indifference instead.

I don't think that's necessarily fair or accurate.

Most gear above a certain pricepoint isn't even really marketed directly to musicians anymore. It's recording studios, live music production companies and backline rental companies who are going to be buying these things and they're totally going to sell.
I don't understand the tendency to fix markets by "organizing". I wish there was more of an attraction to work with the market. Just quit and work somewhere else. Spread your ideas and persuade others to do the same. It's a lot healthier in my opinion for all involved, not to mention the consumers of the product.
While they may be influenced by it, the serious choir I was in was adept at producing perfect harmonies rather than the slightly-off equal temperament. To say that 2 solid players can't produce a perfect fourth or fifth together due to this equal temp influence, that's incorrect.

The main issue comes when you have other instruments playing with you that are equal tempered. You will sound off if you sing or play with them, and you will sound off if you don't. That's one reason a capella music can sound really great, it's not slightly off but rather perfect intervals.
