This is why I'm so skeptical of the "free college" rhetoric from Elizabeth Warren and the like... The underlying problem is the giant wealth transfer to colleges, and the progressive fixes seem to be to transfer even more wealth to them.
As someone who finds them both distasteful and hateful; yes, they are very similar. All sides need to reign in their extremists, or become defined by them.
i am not for sure i understand.

i was saying that it seems to me that the u.s. can't always rely on the argument and stance that "oh, it's just china making cheap copies". it seems that china has directly stolen and continues to do so, which is a major problem of course, but they will eventually have no need to. so the problem is worse than just needing to stop china from stealing. the problem is that it's possible the u.s. will be left behind because of our unconcentrated effort versus the chinese's highly concentrated economic approach.

my simple understanding is that u.s. corporation's greed and other u.s. economic factors caused a move of nearly all manufacturing to china and now everyone's saying "hey, wait a minute".

Their customers are their shareholders. Users are just a farmed resource.

To an extent, so are governments.
The crowd reaction is in the original video hosted at Apple. Not like it's suppressed as part of some conspiracy.

They announce the price and the crowd laughs a bit (like whaaaat?)

It's clearly very expensive, but it's a bunch of complicated engineering in that stand, and I am betting that the cost crept up on them. The executives probably weren't keeping an eye on this from a cost perspective. And undoubtedly they chose a manufacturing process for low volume, higher cost, but didn't realize how much higher until late in the game.

Seems clear to me that the Apple presenter (I forget his name) tried to quickly breeze past the cost of the stand to avoid an uncomfortable crowd reaction, not quite successfully.

It is obvious that they priced the stand separately so you can just buy whatever stand you want, if you don't want the fancy one.

[edit] Everything about the new Pro is over-the-top. It is a bit crazy to see. Seems to be signalling a new direction or something. Or they are testing the waters. Clearly they have the capability of creating an absolutely insane device, they just have to internally justify it in terms of the engineering investment.
oh man, I made a 2D one back in the day with node.jd and socket.io, to test a physics engine I was writing, but never really finished it to release it. looking at your project now, I wish I did finished mine. really cool job. keep it up
In my opinion, the compressor is not the right place to add data integrity mechanisms, especially since data integrity mechanisms only really apply to particular media. Data on hard drives don't get corrupted in the same way as data on TLC SSDs, and generally on the latter you're better off with redundancy and diversification, than with inline error correcting codes.

Honestly, I don't see why xz should have any of its own data integrity mechanisms whatsoever, except maybe a whole-archive CRC32 or similar.
No. Your case works for a single person but for more people on a single domain, you would want to do,

service1@me.your.domain
service1@dad.your.domain

(Instead of
me+service1@your.domain)

service2@me.your.domain
service2@mom.your.domain

and so on. So, those services have no way of fooling you by tampering with the alias parts.

But of course this isn't easy unless you roll your own mail server.

Yes I disagree with white nationalism. And Islamic extremism. I don’t buy your point :).

Islamic jihadis do control a few middle eastern nations. But they are quite powerless in front of the west. Even having access to natural resources like oil doesn’t protect the extremists (do I even need to give examples?). The most concerning Islamic state is Pakistan as it has nukes.

But if far right folks take over Austria or Germany again, or other European states or Russia or the US, they will control massive economies, WMDs and have the ability for complete domination in a way never seen before.
Let’s just say it is better to be in control of any European nation as opposed to Libya, Syria, Iraq or Iran.
Unicode Support Shootout (2011)
This is a great question. There may be some variability by role type, but for the last two hires where I started noticing this trend usually the masters was acquired 17-18 or 18-19 on the resume (2 year masters programs). These are also for mid-level roles as opposed to entry level or senior. Probably a lot of factors but I'd wonder if the readily available access to student loans was the biggest enabler. Just off the cuff I'd be curious if these decisions involved the perception of necessity for masters degrees or in how many cases they simply wanted to prolong the experience of undergrad (college is often a good time, I get it), and with the barrier being no more frictive than the student loan process they navigated for under grad, the decision just being the path of least resistance more than a calculated risk/reward decision.
Self-image?
You can search woodworking saws and come to the same conclusions: Japanese developed pull saws because they couldn't create (for lack of raw materials) the high quality steel required to make a western style push saw.
They can choose to not be a platform for anything that they want. You don't have a right to that platform. Forcing YouTube to leave everything up infringes on their rights to run their site as they want.
In theory, sure. In practice, I've never had a Slack conversation or video conference which felt as natural, rich, spontaneous or productive as a focused discussion in person. I say that as someone who worked fully from home for five years on a remote dev team.

That's not to say it's not useful. It's better than email, leaves a neat record to come back to and supports asynchronous communication. There are advantages. But strictly speaking, no, you cannot capture everything good and useful about in-person conversation using text and video. I don't think it should be controversial that much of the richness of in-person conversation - tone, nuance, body language, facial expression, spontaneity, speed - can't be meaningfully replicated through remote mediums. You can't get all of these things from a message or video chat. You can get some of them well, and a few others decently, but it isn't the same.

I like remote work a lot and wish more companies would support it. That being said, in my experience when people give honest, cogent criticisms of remote work they mostly receive responses which don't speak to the spirit of their point. In this comment thread, for example, the person you responded to is talking about difficulties. You are responding as if the person was talking about impossibilities. It is (emphatically) not impossible to function as a remote team, and very few people will try to make that case. But in the world we live in and with the technology we currently have, there are things about in-person discussion you will not be able to capture on a remote team.

If nothing else people have different values. Some developers enjoy being highly social when they're working, others don't. Some don't mind interruptions, others do. Many people feel a sense of comfort and empowerment by using Slack or Zoom which makes it easier for them to have productive discussion, for a variety of reasons. Likewise many developers do not get any of the same enjoyment out of a Slack or Zoom conversation that they do from face to face communication.
My statement was not about what I think should be the case, but about what is currently the state of the law in the USA.

Most people are breaking some law, it just depends how vigorously we want to enforce the law against you.
Why would you detest people that work from cafes just because you don't like it? For me working remotely full time, it's a good break from working from a home office all the time. Coworking spaces are few and far between where I live so it's really one of the only alternatives.
My point is that the variety of luggage is so vast (i'd hazard tens of thousands of models) that the probability would be low even for a quite high number of passengers.
What matter more is whether flicking the switch wears out the components more than letting it run. The replacement cost matters more than the running electrical cost.

Honest question - what constitutes "proven"?
The difference is that Epic is leveraging their current popularity to turn into a platform. Pokemon Go and Angry Birds were already only really available through platforms, so that wasn't an option for them. Minecraft maybe could have, but it seems somewhat opposed to the idea of the program, which is all about user control and users creating an ecosystem. Now that Microsoft owns it, there's already a platform for it, and it's not game specific (the Windows Store).

Fortnite has as many or more monthly players as Minecraft (which is huge), but much more control over the ecosystem and content. As the controlling party of what's (by this point most likely) the most popular online game in history in it's peak (until next month, most likely), that gives them a somewhat unique and powerful position, which they seem eager to exploit.

Will that be enough? I don't know. I definitely think the situation is different than the examples you cited though.
out of curious, what roles do you hire for?

in my world which is software engineering: lesser tier, middle tier and ivy league doesn't make a difference for actual wage work, with ivy league seeming to have outsized advantages in capital formation and being around capital in general.

for wage work, no degree + experience is the same as have any degree. completely obliterating the tier of school. people with no experience having the same conundrum whether they have a degree or not, but at least people with a degree can do coding interviews.

There’s a big misconception about manufacturing jobs. Yes, China did take them, but only by outbidding our efforts at automation and robotics. There is no way America has the headcount nor efficiency (no American would work to live at the level of a Chinese factory worker) to match the human labor costs of China. Therefore if labor does move back to the US we’d just invest heavily in automation to compensate. Those jobs were long gone, and they’re either going to be done by a cheap robot or cheap person in a developing country.
I don't disagree with that at all! I did try to say (maybe unclearly) that having simpler more foolproof and failsafe layers at every level seems absolutely worth pursuing anyway, where possible. But I also wonder whether some of the common wisdom is from an age that is obsolete for many scenarios? Ie., in the 80s and 90s and even early 00s there was a lot more churn, practices were less standardized, computing time was more expensive, storage capacity was far more expensive, the ratio of software to data size was higher, etc. The latter seems to tie into "must assume the original executable is either not available or not able to be executed." For serious archiving, does it no make sense to just bundle in not merely the executable, but in some instances an entire environment? In a "fall of civilization" type scenario that may not be helpful vs a clear simple spec and ease of bootstrapping, but for situations where technological continuity is a limiting factor for some reason anyway is it safe to simply assume basics like at this point x86 will never go away as something that is at least virtualized? In my own experience there is a pretty clear cutoff date after which I can continue to run the entire environment in a VM.

Again this is shooting the breeze a bit, article is discussing a case where there should be the freedom to choose better formats. But for a lot of important archive material, including software itself, are we getting to the point where many long term archives should simply including everything necessary to deal with them in the present day as a container or VM image, which is then stored with a solid amount of parity and replication?
The june 2 WHO bulletin about the outbreak, which I believe is the source data for the article. It contains more data including a graph of number of cases by date of illness onset, which I think gives a better idea of the progression of the epidemic :

Yes, I am totally on auto-pilot today. I'm used to a different article that gets re-posted often about xz and my browser blocks non-https sites so I assumed it was that other article.

That said, I use xz in automation that compresses files on one end and decompresses on the other. I've not had any file corruption thus far. checksums always match. Hopefully the author has submitted bug reports and ways to reproduce.
"similar" is a very vague term. We are talking ideologies that call for the extermination of other races here, in what way is Black Lives Matter equivalent?

However, electricity at least has the potential to be generated by solar, wind, hydro or nuclear; most people in North America are heating with natural gas or even heating oil, which by definition can't get to carbon-neutral.
> The dept of education needs to treat universities the same way Medicaid treats healthcare providers. Determine what it actually costs per student per year to run a university, and tell the schools "Accept $x or shove off".

Either eliminate Federal aid entirely, or if you want aid, here's the price you're gonna charge.
I always find things like this interesting. A short while ago I posted a thread here [1] on a publicly owned service engaging in clear viewpoint discrimination with nary a peep. YouTube, a privately owned service, moves to moderate their platform and all hell breaks loose.

Mind you this isn't an attempt to defend YouTube at all given what they did yesterday but rather that I've always seen the battles over free speech and the bias on HN as being incredibly lopsided.

Or to do exactly as the OP said: this is what we’ll pay per student.
Look at the numbers. Look at the numbers. Look at the numbers. Do not make assumptions. You're right, most high birth rate is in "third world countries"... but only some of them. Others see their birth rates drop dramatically over the course of a couple of generations, until they're at the same level as "developed" countries. And this maps almost directly to economic development.

So what happens? The drop in birth rates happens concurrently with an increase in lifespans, due to eliminating disease, increasing food security, etc. This leads to an overhang of a couple of generations on old-world birthrates but new-world life expectancy - hence, population growth, even while the birth rate plummets. But give those countries a couple more generations for this hump to age out, and their population growth will level off, just like it has in older developed countries that saw their birth rates drop in the first half of the 20th century. That's just math.
Needs a radar/minimap or something, I pretty quickly found myself lost in space with no idea where other players were, or how to get back to the starting point to find new players.

Fun story about Oracle's cloud service:

A few years ago, Oracle was trying to push their cloud compute services hard, so they were offering hefty lump-sum bonuses to their sales people for selling it. As I recall it was something like $6000 extra for selling any cloud subscription, regardless of size. My fiance worked as a regional sales rep, and gamed this for three or four quarters by getting a succession of cousins and other relatives to sign up their small businesses for the minimum paid subscription, about $300, right before the end of the quarter, and then canceling it once the bonus checks cleared.

I should probably feel bad about that, but Oracle was a soulless, destructive place to work, and they didn't pay her well enough anyway, not to mention playing all kinds of games to try to claw back commissions from salespeople on their legitimate deals. It's very much an example of what happens when you put out a snake bounty.
The North Face Manipulates Wikipedia
In order to try and provide answers to that question:

Because of work organisation and a cargo cult work culture that’s still stuck in late 19th / early 20th century scientific management (a theory conceived for assembly line rather than knowledge work, no less).

Because - while it’s a business’ goal to make profit - the individual agents in an organisation often have different motives: They need to accumulate reputation within the company and that reputation frequently isn’t directly related to attributes such as productivity but rather appearances such as how many people you “manage” or how long you’re sitting in a chair each day.
Comments are the worst part of the web

TY for reading my comment
If there were a simple checkbox in the OS to disable SIP, I would expect zillions of ‘nice’ add-ons would ship with instructions on how to disable it.

I also expect zillions of helpful nieces/nephews would flip that checkbox for their uncles/aunts, and, accidentally or on purpose, leave it that way.

Even if that isn’t true, making it harder for malware to flip that flag already is a rational reason to implement it this way.
As a tutorial series, I think using plain C is a cool approach and will help illuminate what's going on under the hood and what parts of the engine are really essential.

But if you yourself want to write your own game with just you or a small team of like-minded people, I would highly encourage using C++. As long as you don't have too many cooks arguing about which C++ features to throw into the pot, you can pick a subset of C++ that isn't much more complex than C (which is already more complex than most realize) and you'll get a much cleaner, safer language. C++ has saner rules for implicit type conversions, namespaces, overloading, and a cleaner notation for dynamic allocation. Those alone make it a sufficiently "better C" to be worth using in my book.

Going farther, even if you don't like "object-oriented programming", I think classes offer modularity and encapsulation features that make them worth using, even if you never once write the keyword "virtual" or use subclassing. (Fun fact: the first version of C++ did not have virtual methods!)

I like C and enjoy programming in it, which I've done for over 20 years. I've written a successful open source project in it and am writing a book that uses C as one of the implementation languages. Even so, I generally only use straight C if I'm writing a library that I want C users to be able to consume. Otherwise, I think C++ contains any number of "better C"'s within it, and it's mostly a matter of choosing which better C you want.

True, however this wraps back to the publisher vs platform debate. If they don't want the government forcing them to host content and uphold free speech then they have to take responsibility for the content in the eyes of the law. Currently they're having it both ways, free to ban ideas they don't like and control the content they deliver without being responsible for libel/slander.

Who the hell pays for an MS?

At least back when I was in engineering grad school, everyone was covered by RA or TA grants, in addition to being paid by those.

Of course in-state tuition at KU in 1996 was under $100/credit-hour, so if I did pay, those 9 credits/semester would be under $1k total.
Emphasis on "Formal code review" which is practiced in far fewer shops than "code review".

For those who don't happen to know the difference, formal code review basically uses a check list of common best practices and possible defects to look for versus doing each code review ad-hoc.
Mid-levels mostly. Non-technical.

For senior level, and YMMV, but for non-technicals, as time goes on experience beats the education badge and I think as you go higher in the sophistication of the hire the more nuanced the process becomes to where at least at the first level evaluation, formal education becomes increasingly less compelling.
Most journalism is close enough to propaganda these days that the least they could do is open comments so that the public can correct the record.
