having been stopped by immigration people in several countries always have your papers on hand.

There is nothing less fun than being arrested, and going through processing (which takes FOREVER) to then talk to someone much later that'll take down details arrange cops to either pick it up for you (by ramsacking your room) or escort you there to pick it up (by ramsacking your room first).

If you are an immigrant in another country, also keep your papers on your person 24x7x365. All it takes is one jerk and bamm your how day or week just got ruined.

For my thoughts on grading as merely filtering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(economics)

For the content of the "lessons" being largely irrelevant, ask: what can anyone remember from their lessons at 14?

The answer is random with respect to the individual: I cannot predict what you will know. Really only fragments of trivia were acquired. This is the opposite situation of skill acquisition: if you are a practising plumber/doctor/programming, I can predict what you will know.

This test, predicting the knowledge/ability of a person who practices a skill, really defines successful education.

What can you predict a person knows after high school?

You might also look at "Discipline and Punish" or works to that effect to gain a socio-political perspective on the scheduling/routines/rituals of certain institutions.

It is no accident that a school closely resembles a prison. That is its primary function: to limit the behaviour of children, to discipline them into conforming with the scheduling of working life, to occupy their time.

When you are tutored (to play a piano, in mathematics, etc.) you are really acquiring a skill: to play a piano, etc.

Contrast those two environments.

Learning a skill requires an environment almost the opposite of a prison, it requires a patient and highly skilled tutor, and some attentive practice and engagement. (Infant/primary education is closer to tutoring than high school).

Imagine high school not starting until 14 at which point you spent 4 years with tutors: at most classes of 5 with skilled mentors that guided you through skilled practice. Consider the social environment: how you'd interact with peers, your relationship to your mentor, the hours you'd keep, how much practice you'd get.

Contrast this again with prison life within a school: the teacher is not a mentor, they are a master. An enemy largely. You and your peers are at war for attention and time.
This is a very important comment. As great as Sony hardware is, many people have written off Sony for software. Loosing customer trust can destroy a business.

>You may not feel the joy of working on what you work anymore. You may want to move on. You may also not do that due to the sense of responsibility that you have to your code, your community, and the people who use your software.

I run a popular website, and I switched from selling books, to free content.

I make 6 figs at the day job, but put in 2-3 hours a night on figuring out new ways to save time or save money. The occasional email is nice, but its a very temporary feeling. I consider it my responsibility to society, so things will be free, but it also means only 1-2 people study this.

Capitalism and growth might cause me to change.

American high schools start at ~0730, though that's gradually being moved back, and classes end around 1400-1500. So he library being open that late is meaningful.

And as bizarre as this might sound, outside of New York City, unaccompanied children on public transportation is basically not a thing in America. We assume the children are lost / abandoned and the parents are delinquent / trying to get the kid kidnapped by a pedo.

There was a decently widespread news story a few years ago about someone calling the police on a mother because she let her kids go to the park by themselves.

Sorry, I don't think a misused quote can justify a thought crime. It would be funny and educative if we could temporarily reanimate Mr. Clifford to give him a chance to appreciate some twisted logic that is required to apply this particular quote in this particular context. But we can't, so I suggest we leave dead in peace.

I never said that such point of view don't have consequences. But there is a law and means to enforce it when discrimination is realised. And you can indeed define some reasonable limitations on a limit on speech. But as soon as you go after personal opinions, you do more harm than good.

By doing so, we steal from people a chance to make their own minds and actions. It's an important part of human experience for many. And when that freedom is threatened, they often resist as it were almost an existential threat to them.

We know for a fact now, that humans are evolutionary wired in favour of tribalism and prejudices and overcoming our own nature is a hard and delicate process. And slow, conflicts can last for hundreds and thousand of years. History says that even if you manage to keep them dormant using state force, it's not forever. State will eventually fail and people will continue on killing each other with same amount of enthusiasm if not more. Just have look at pogroms that took place the moment USSR collapsed in brand-new national states, an excellent illustration.

There must be a solution to those problems that relies on force as little as possible, otherwise it's not very sustainable. But instead I see justification of mob justice, thought policing and global censorship. The last one is especially infuriating. Tools that are required to implement such censorship should not exists and will certainly be exploited.

After all, people we disagree with are just regular people, not monsters. Likely, troubled, needing a group they can identify with, lost in rapidly changing world, unneeded, susceptible to human flaws we all have to a certain degree. And yet it's not uncommon to believe that it's a good idea to just dismiss and alienate them and at the same time somehow pretend to hold a higher moral ground. I like those opinions no more than you do. But I see hate, arrogance and cruelty just shapeshifting and nothing good coming out of it.
My MBA 2013 just barfed and while I was waiting to get my new one in I decided to install xubuntu 18 LTS on a 2007 Sony Vaio (2mb, Core 2 Duo, tiny and slow harddrive). While it's nowhere near as fast as an SSD, it loads reasonably well and looks reasonable out of the box, and definitely usable for browsing/typing and a bit of compiling.

So what I'm saying is that I'm not sure if the question is specific enough.

That said, any el cheapo laptop will run well, & a good SSD with a bit of ram is all I'd be looking for if I were buying new... or I'd go top-end & gorgeous, like a Lenovo.

गुर्दे की पथरी (वृक्कीय कैल्कली, नेफरोलिथियासिस) (अंग्रेजी:Kidney stones) मूत्रतंत्र की एक ऐसी स्थिति है जिसमें, वृक्क (गुर्दे) के अन्दर छोटे-छोटे पत्थर सदृश कठोर वस्तुओं का निर्माण होता है। गुर्दें में एक समय में एक या अधिक पथरी हो सकती है। सामान्यत: ये पथरियाँ बिना किसी तकलीफ मूत्रमार्ग से शरीर से बाहर निकाल दी जाती हैं , किन्तु यदि ये पर्याप्त रूप से बड़ी हो जाएं ( २-३ मिमी आकार के) तो ये मूत्रवाहिनी में अवरोध उत्पन्न कर सकती हैं। इस स्थिति में मूत्रांगो के आसपास असहनीय पीड़ा होती है।

यह स्थिति आमतौर से 30 से 60 वर्ष के आयु के व्यक्तियों में पाई जाती है और स्त्रियों की अपेक्षा पुरूषों में चार गुना अधिक पाई जाती है। बच्चों और वृद्धों में मूत्राशय की पथरी ज्यादा बनती है, जबकि वयस्को में अधिकतर गुर्दो और मूत्रवाहक नली में पथरी बन जाती है। आज भारत के प्रत्येक 2000 परिवारों में से एक परिवार इस पीड़ादायक स्थिति से पीड़ित है, लेकिन सबसे दु:खद बात यह है कि इनमें से कुछ प्रतिशत रोगी ही इसका इलाज करवाते हैं। जिन मरीजों को मधुमेह की बीमारी है उन्हें गुर्दे की बीमारी होने की काफी संभावनाएं रहती हैं। अगर किसी मरीज को रक्तचाप की बीमारी है तो उसे नियमित दवा से रक्तचाप को नियंत्रण करने पर ध्यान देना चाहिए क्योंकि अगर रक्तचाप बढ़ता है, तो भी गुर्दे खराब हो सकते हैं।

Real World Crypto 2019 on recent open source RISC work
I agree, after the MacBook keyboard touchbar thing I’ve started using a chrome slate tablet and was amazed by how fast it is. It doesn’t have fans so it can’t be fast for long compute operations but short compiles or bursts are very fast. The keyboard is simple but yea tablet keyboard but it’s so small and lite I can carry with me almost everywhere. The biggest issue for me is when restarting the device for upgrades I lose my whole Linux even setup. Although I enjoyed finally learning how to use tabs in screen.

For an app that I'm working on, we're storing Dates/Times canonically as a a recurrence rule of Dates, plus a Time/several start times in event local time zone.

Internally for indexing purposes, we expand the dates + time into a series of datetimes at UTC, at which point we can easily search on them.

Intel VISA Exploit Gives Access to Computer’s Entire Data, Researchers Show
Totally agree, it's one of the reasons I came across and posted this article - I too had assumed the timestampz type stored the time zone. I'm using Postgres with Ngpsql with supports using .NET DateTimeOffset types as parameters, and as you say depending on your DB config everything can actually look as you expect in the DB...

Why do you say zero evidence? Have you actually watched the videos? He provides video evidence from EP sessions backing up each of his many claims.

Then the second video I cite shows more MEPs from different countries and parties complaining about the same problems.

Also, we have the story actually being discussed in this thread, where numerous MEPs claim they accidentally voted wrong. So that's three sources.

I'm not sure the website of the European Parliament should count as a source when discussing the problematic procedures of the European Parliament. That might tell you what the EP wants you to believe but surely direct observation via video is more compelling? After all, a major claim (supported by video clips) is that the EP routinely counts its own votes wrongly, so official reports on voting must be taken with a pinch of salt.
It sounds like what you're asking for falls under a 'composite type'. So what you could do is something along the lines of:

CREATE TYPE datetimetz AS (
dt timestamptz,
tz varchar
);

Then in your table def you can call your new type to avoid multiple columns:

CREATE TABLE example (
id integer,
created_at datetimetz
);
Look, the issue is there's a pretty steep gradient here. There's the unwashed masses making just enough to survive, and a small group of millionaires and billionaires making calculated use of millions to secure policies that will print them billions in the future. Pretty sure some quick look-ups will show there are working definitions for this disparity in election literature.

So, while I appreciate your "Americans aren't poor, they're just temporarily embarrassed millionaires" version of equality for the farce it is, I'd appreciate it if you tried mangling the truth somewhere else.

Completely not proven yet, but I'm convinced: ask for it. Make it easy for people to pay you. Find a way (and reason) for people to invoice you for payment. Tell people that you expect payment even if they don't legally have to pay. Make it part of the "community ethos" that payment is a natural and good part of working with the community.

Free as in freedom, not beer. Ask for beer and give freedom in return.

I have this idea in the back of my head. Where I live in Japan, in the countryside they just put up these vegetable stalls. Nobody is there. There is a box and on it is say "100 yen" (about 1 dollar US). There are bags of fruit and vegetables. You take a bag and you put a 100 yen coin in the box. Not rocket science and nobody who isn't starving won't put the coin in (and if you are starving, take the damn fruit!)

You don't need leverage, you need it to be the norm that people pay for the software. That requires a cultural shift. Luckily, community cultures can be crafted (I think... maybe I'm wrong). People need to feel that if they pay for the software, you will make more (which they want). If they don't pay for the software, you will not make more (which they do not want). I think that's all it probably takes to earn money at this. I think... One day I'll test that theory.

I owned multiple Surface devises, and while I think it's a good machine for development in general, it's definitely not a "best laptop to run Linux", due to incomplete hardware support.

In addition to the sleep, the webcam is not supported at all, and the wifi driver is far from perfect.

An extremely annoying issue, although not relevant to Linux itself, is that the Fn key frequently disables itself, and there's no way to lock it (there was in the SP3). I've verified this on both a Surface Book and a Surface Book 2.
I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 which has a discrete GPU (GTX 1050Ti).. Once it runs, it runs very well, but being somewhat newer to Linux it was a big hassle which wasn't settled easily.

Facebook is fundamentally a behavioral data company. Maximizing profits entails extracting, predicting, prescribing and controlling behavior, which is in the shareholders best interest.

However, FB needs a moot around their castle, so it acts via third parties, such as Cambridge Analytica.

And even if FB would not engage in large scale behavioral influencing, then through US law, various three letter agencies can force FB to hand over the data, all the while muting the company to disclose such practices.

I've used a machine with this chip (remotely). It's not terrible; Daniel Lemire blogs about some early performance impressions here https://lemire.me/blog/2019/03/26/hasty-comparison-skylark-a... and I've ported simdjson to it (https://github.com/lemire/simdjson).

I'm definitely not at the stage where I can say anything definitive about performance. For a SIMD-intensive task, a preliminary run on a 3.3Ghz eMag core gets about 400 megabytes/second of JSON parsing relative to 2.2 gigabytes/second on a 4.0Ghz Skylake. This may come down to having a maximum of 2 x 128-bit NEON operations per cycle vs 3 x 256 AVX2 operations per cycle, as well as some clock speed differences. Will eventually post about this at branchfree.org when I don my Nomex long johns (required whenever doing any benchmark that might imply to anyone that any processor runs faster or slower than any other processor).

TLDR : thieves often get away with crime because resources are limited, and smarter thieves play into it.

However I hardly think that concerntrating power is a solution nor that this is really a problem that needs to be solved by finding he thieves.

I’d be curious to know by how much incidents of petty crime are reduced for every 1% increase in the wealth of the poorest 5%.

Meanwhile, I think the police are doing the right thing by focusing on organised and serious crime, and society would be doing the right thing if it focused on the causes of crime rather than on expanding the police force.
I'd imagine it would be correlated almost 1:1 with unemployment statistics, which are very well documented.

I owned several IBM Thinkpads, and one or more Dell (one XPS, at least).

The Dell XPS 13 was working very well, AFAIR. I can't remember/find though, if I had other ones.

Except once they catch him they have to charge him and then prosecute him and then house him in prison and then release him with even worse prospects then he started with, so that he can go back to stealing.

I think that there is no economic gains, and there is no efficiency to be had in catching petty criminals. It is a symptom of a bigger social problem which needs to be dealt with .
Downvoted because you disagree?

Let me preface this comment by saying: this isn't my view of primary education, but of secondary mostly. Primary education has undergone a lot of changes and it is increasingly effective at education.

However, yes, the motivations of the people involved in a system is often at-odds with the system they've got themselves involved in.

The teacher's motivation may be school's auxiliary function but their mental and physical energy is spent on its primary and secondary functions.

"For the sake of educating these children, I will sacrifice my effort/energy/time in disciplining them, in grading them, in differentiating them, and so on".

People need their motivations.

My aim is to describe the system not to describe the motivations of the people involved: the former is social anthropology; the latter is religion.

Bingo.

This is fundamentally an issue of what rules apply to modern spaces where the masses congregate and interact.
Maybe sometimes. But the major side effect of opioids is constipation. Unless they're idiots, and overdose for recreation. You don't see respiratory collapse in well-managed opioid patients. It's typically caused by prescriber error.

And yes, by idiot thrill seekers, and people carelessly combining their opioids with other drugs (e.g., zolpidem) or alcohol. But that's a minor issue, in the context of the pain relief that they get.

I do admit, though, that US doctors have tended in recent years to over-prescribe. Partly because it's faster and less hassle to prescribe opioids than physical therapy. And because physical therapy tends to cost more for patients and insurance companies. And also because the compliance rate for physical therapy tends to be low. People are busy, and want quick results.

But still, focusing on addiction as the main problem is, in my opinion, misguided. It's better to focus on people being well, and able to enjoy their lives. And if, for whatever reason, that means taking opioids until they die, that's just how it is.
