Maybe not top schools, but schools that graduate a lot of students have software engineering degrees. That's why IEEE is talking about it.

Cal Poly https://csc.calpoly.edu/programs/bs-software-engineering/
San Jose State https://bsse.sjsu.edu/
Penn State https://behrend.psu.edu/school-of-engineering/academic-progr...
Univ Washington https://www.uwb.edu/bscsse
Univ Houston
UT- Dallas
UC Irvine
etc.

Agree though that the Soft Eng degree is differs from CS largely by dealing with process, not technology. The first versions of the SWEBOK were pretty terribly biased towards a waterfall process.
They increase risk of some more serious injuries. Also, with helmet mounted cameras which are very popular they are pretty much accidental killers if hit at the right angle/force.
> Given their volume of flights, a fatal crash is statistically likely to happen at some point.

Has Ryanair flown more flights than all the domestic and international commercial jet flights in Australian history? Because there has never been a crash of a commercial jet here despite several near misses.

Safety culture and training has more of a bearing than statistics.
> The problem is going to be that you supposedly drove down the 405 but none of the scanners saw your car.

Does it have to be your car?
Everytime a friend is talking about a diamond ring for their wedding, I have to keep telling myself "keep your mouth shut!"
> Most people find it's not that hard to extend that period of time a few more hours

This is what I do.

Breakfast (technically lunch) around 2pm.
Dinner around 8-9pm.

Around 8 hours feeding state, 16 hours fasted.

My body doesn't get hungry until 2pm - and the hunger is just the signal that it's my normal meal time rather than actually being hungry.
For at least the last 40 years no serious historical text or scholar treats Alexander just as a great man.

If anything modern historians dramatically index towards “narcissistic butcher”.

I suppose it’s impressive that the Roman reverence for the guy still plays but lots and lots of people view him as a brutal tyrannical conquerer and always have.
Then their needs are mutually exclusive and they have to compromise somewhere. If they want someone that can hit the ground running then they need developers with experience and not fresh graduates. If they really need someone to hit the ground running they might need highly specialized (expensive) experience too.
Their complete systems were competitive in terms of having a good (price, features, usability, reliability, support, ...) tuple, but that doesn't mean every attribute of their systems was the best of all systems on the market. I know people who bought Solaris systems, and nobody bought it because of the CPU.

You say they were the market share leader through the "early 2000's". In 2005, their OS was open-sourced. Sure enough, everyone I knew using Solaris since then has run it on x86. People like the OS but only used SPARC when they had no choice.
Why so? Genuinely curios from a guy who knows neither.
I found the touch bar a hindrance on my 2017 MBP. Then I read a HN comment [1] recommending Better Touch Tool [2] with GoldenChaos config [3]. I've found it quite useful since.

>The largest wind turbines can weigh up to 700,000 pounds fully assembled and typically require around 10 loads to transport.

so, average speaking the components are on the scale of 35t/each. The current helicopters top at about 20t payload, so could be used only for some smaller parts. That one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_V-12 could have done more jobs here. Or it is a new and shiny market for airships (or some kind of hybrid with airship)

IEEE Milestone-Proposal:Self-Regulating Trace Heater
Full face helmets do exist for bikes, for downhillers. There's big downsides in weight, cost, and less airflow (they are hot). But for downhill folks, especially those that race it's worth it. For pretty much close to 100% of non-downhill bikers, it's not.

The chin is not a particularly common injury for bicyclist.
Nobody's reported any missed notifications to me in about a year.
I had the CamScanner app on my iPhone for quite some time, then uninstalled when I launched it and saw (IIRC) Chinese text appear. I'm assuming that ownership changed around that time, and if the Android and iOS apps have the same owner, I wouldn't trust it either.

An iOS trojan would have slightly more limited impact, but if (for example) you gave the app "Access to your Photos" in order to save something, the app would still be able to read all of your photos and potentially send them back to home base as it chooses.
RussiaGate was generated by the DNC as a post-hoc justification of their loss to Donald Trump. Most people on the left bought into it.
The org central to manufacturing the narrative was Hamilton 68, which was a creation of the think tank "The Alliance for Securing Democracy". It had both Democrats and Republicans on the board, including Neocons like Bill Kristol.

I fell numerous times both on bike (worst at 40mph) and skis (worst at 60mph), and started with both at around age 3, so I might have the same automated instincts as you do. Never anything more serious than scratches on the sides of my body. Recently hit by a (slow) car that didn't yield, again the fall was automatic and both me and bike were more-less OK (bent front wheel only). I still don't wear helmet for either biking nor skiing, only for bike downhills I get an F1 helmet and full-body armor.

I'm not claiming there are no status games. I'm claiming that it is possible to see them for the empty thing they are and opt out, and that some do to an extent, without that opting-out really being just another status signalling game.

I don't like the felony murder rule but it exists and it should apply to this case. Most of the family should be doing life without parole.
That's definitely an interesting issue - I don't think it's too similar to the one in the original post, though. It's not about applying a constraint to the wrong scope, it's a case where the liveness analysis has correctly deduced that a block-scope variable in a loop is not live from one iteration of the loop to the next but then the address of that block-scope variable has been incorrectly kept live across the loop iterations.
Of course my ISP knows my identity, but my point is it's also probably not hard for an advertising company to get one piece of data that links my real identity to my cable modem's IP address, and then any tracking data they've previously accumulated can potentially be tied to that after the fact. They just need to tell when IP was assigned to me, which is probably easy to infer from a sudden change in what websites an IP is visiting.

On a related note, remember that time when AT&T and Verizon were just giving out the cell numbers associated with their customers' IP addresses to whoever asked, because they're complete fucking morons who thought that was a good idea?

Your info on CNTs are a few years out of date. There are some really remarkable experimental results that go beyond what the theory predicts.
I'm sure all the effort Google put into being able to compile google3 for Power resulted in significant price concessions from Intel, which I imagine was the point of the project in the first place.
The "key escrow system" contains no keys, because only a chump would give up her or his key before she or he has to give it up. As addressed above, 4A specifies very particular circumstances for that, circumstances which do not apply to most citizens.
Last time this was posted someone pointed out that this could be because when someone dies they don't bother to report "they died but they also got neck injurys which would have caused long term damage" so since less people died, the more minor reports could have been made.
You're being pedantic. "Linux users" in a post like this clearly means a specific thing. Context matters.
Whilst I agree the UK should allow residency, and given history it would be appropriate, the politicians who wanted Brexit have whipped up immigration into such a ridiculous issue that giving entry to any extra group seems inconceivable. There's overt racism in the UK to an extent I can't remember for decades. It started to come back right after the referendum.

It feels like the seventies or eighties again in terms of the stupid, and inconsistent attitudes. Some people think it's OK to be visibly racist again.
Scandal of the century? Your bias is showing.
2010 - 2030 This kind of thing happens with lots of alarming stories in the news. People are kind of worried that they will get dragged in as a crime suspect simple because they were driving by the area when a crime was being committed nearby.

2030 - 2040 This kind of investigation becomes so common that the independent news outlets just stop finding instances of it. People are kind of relaxing about it.

2040 - 2050 It turns out that, like DNA evidence, there's now an entire innocence project started dedicated to getting people out of incarceration for any crime where the totality of evidence was GPS data and some made up stories.

2050 -> Oh sorry that new energy source blew up, earth is gone.
Anecdotally cheaper brands of power tools seem to have a higher rate of return despite being mostly sold to consumers who are extremely likely to use tools in a less demanding fashion compared to contractors that who buy more expensive tools. This leads one to believe that the more expensive brands are better made and more durable and therefore worth the premium. If you time your purchases around frequent promotions you probably will pay less than 2x for the better quality tool and may well even save money in the long run.

Example if you pay 1.8x the cost for a tool that lasts 10 years vs 1x for 4 years of service you will actually have paid LESS not more.

One also notices that pro's tend to buy brand name tools rather than budget brands even when they are budget conscious in other ways.
But if you can’t ferment past 15% at the absolute most and you cannot distill, then there might have been different alcohol levels in different “wines”, but none would actually be significantly (if at all) stronger than typical modern wines.
The problem with @param is that it requires a binding name

I ended up doing this instead:

/**
@typedef {{x: string}} FooArgs
@typedef {{y: string}} FooResult
@type {function(FooArgs): FooResult}
*/
export const foo = ({x}) => ({y: x});

It works, but the double curly feels a bit clunky. Compare to Flow:

/*::
type FooArgs = {x: string};
type FooResult = {y: string};
type Foo = (FooArgs) => FooResult;
*/
export const foo /*: Foo */ = ({x}) => ({y: x});

In Flow, the declaration ends up looking essentially the same between comment syntax and non-comment syntax.

With TS, RORO ends up looking like Flow (but with weirder indentation on large enough structs), whereas I'd prefer to express regular functions in terms of @callback, @param and @returns since that's more in line w/ the spirit of jsdoc. Not a huge deal, in any case, considering the upsides of comment syntax.
I just don't attribute the same value to animal life than to human life.

I don't even attribute the same value to life of different species. I don't think that worm farms are as bad as cow farms.

I tend to buy organic/free range animal products. I think factory farms are terrible, I would not mind seeing them gone, but imposing free range would be terrible for the environment.

Free range ones are not too unethical as they provide to animals close to the best they could hope for if they were free.
Better to just have the kid play with it all night. And, of course, tell the wife (assuming she's in on it) to watch a lot of Jackie Chan movies on Netflix all night.

But then where do you map your Ctrl key if Capsloc is Esc?
Definitely. A new MacBook pro with 16GB RAM, a decently speedy 512 GB SSD, the basic display, dedicated graphics, and an 2.3 GHz 8 core i9 costs $2.8K [0].

An XPS 15 with 32GB RAM, a decently speedy 1TB SSD, the basic display, dedicated graphics, and a 5.0 GHz 8 core i9 costs like $2.3K [1].

I couldn't customize the XPS enough to do a direct comparison. But the XPS 15 with the almost the same specs as the MacBook other than having an i7 was about 1.6K.

All depends on which microcontroller it is using. The Propeller microcontroller has multiple cores and specialized registers for video, so it can just dedicate independent core to video and bus control. An Arduino is certainly fast enough to bit bang video, and it could probably interleave bus control between servicing pixels, but the code and timing for that would get complex.
Unfavorable opinion: The more we boycott overreaching tech and companies like this that work to secure the nation, the more foreign nations will innovate and beat us in the long term on that technology.
Slack is guilty of this as well. They support Firefox obviously, but if you try to connect with a niche browser like Waterfox you get a great patronizing message about how it's for your own good and they only want to provide you the "best experience possible."

The best part is that the default Waterfox user-agent begins with an unmodified copy of the Firefox one (which is allowed), with " Waterfox/X.Y." appended to it.

Coffee shops can be make or break depending on the corner of the intersection they are on so it can be a little bit ridiculous in terms of how small the geography is. I agree re: Google capturing the spread. Always want to control the means of distribution for your own business, ultimately.

As someone who really enjoys Netlify, I suspect that the CMS project is just under-staffed. I’ve been building out a fairly complex Gatsby project with it recently. While doing so, I spent a lot of time reviewing issues and finding workarounds for various problems on Github. As far as I can tell, there isn’t more than a couple people dedicated to working on it internally, and although a lot of people seem interested in the project, it doesn’t seem like very many of them are prepared to contribute. One need only briefly peruse the issues to find a half dozen (solid) issues with replies from the team lead along the lines of, “This is a good point. Willing to accept PRs” This is troubling, and it makes me wonder if Netlify’s choice to open source this was their way of acknowledging the need for the project without demonstrating an actual willingness to dedicate the resources writing a decent CMS actually requires. So they thought, “maybe if we throw it out there, people will help”

Politics aside, the largest problems I’ve had it with it revolve around the tension of organizing things in the CMS for the user vs configuring things for easy digestion in the SSG. If you set up the CMS how your, for example, non-tech savvy friend might expect it to look and then go build the front-end, you are almost certainty going to have a very bad time. This is because Netlify CMS’ widgets nest everything in deeply complex frontmatter by default, which makes sourcing and transforming it feel like a cumbersome chore.
In my discussions with other people about it, more than one person has said, “So it sounds like the biggest benefit is just that it’s free. Thanks, but I’ll pass. My company pays for the base tier of X”

EDIT: I’d just like to point out that I think I would/will use it again. The next time around, I’ll probably use almost exclusively folder collections. This breaks out the markdown into oddly organized bits in the CMS, but it makes it much easier to consume and combine in the build step.
Milton Friedman introduced the Shareholder Theory in 1970, where he argued that a company has no responsibility to society and that its only responsibility is to the shareholders. As good a source as any...
Everyone demonstrates their status-seeking in different ways. A really common one is to emphatically state how little such things that commonly motivate others also interest you. I guess its ok if that is your thing.
I've done some neuro/ephys related collaborations where I installed stuff inside a room sheathed in all 6 sides in solid, grounded copper. Inside with the door shut, the wifi and LTE were both good enough to stream video!!! Although, they say it did a good job at cutting the 60hz noise. Personally I would learn a little bit more about Faraday cage design before trusting anything to it besides lightning strikes
Good to know - maybe some more prominent case studies with links to the real generated end product would be helpful.

The placeholder mockups are a pretty generic side menu / text content area and adding in an Intercom or Trello logo doesn't really clarify what is being mocked.

Definitely some internal vernacular being used in the copy, too. What is a developer hub? Again the mockups dont' clarify much.

100% agree after a second glance the use of "Documentation" as a product is confusing when you consider 99/100 saas/tech companies have a documentation page for _their_ docs. Maybe something like "Hosted Documentation" or "<Your Company's> Documentation" would work. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
Literally last week I was looking for a tool to grep colors from a text file (say an SVG or a theme file) and was about to start writing one...which wasn't going to be even half as neat as this, so thank you very much for sharing
My understanding of MIPS was that it was meant to redirect linear force against the head, such as banging your head against a car in a relatively straight line, into a rotational force that would let the helmet slip off the head and that would reduce the amount of trauma to the skull. I never heard of anything about "brain rotation"
In my defense, I was pretty sleepy when I wrote that. Thanks for catching it. :)
I strongly agree with this.

A lot of people are happy in college and they're almost all living on less than $24k a year despite working over 40h a week (although schoolwork is a lot more engaging than industry IMHO).
Sure, that sounds reasonable but even my bank manages to just display a warning at the top which I can click away for the rest of the session. So when something like Skype or Slack just outright refuses to work, it's quite some nerve they've got there.
> You can see your docs at https://docs.readme.com

Not _your_ docs, right? lol I think this demonstrates well some of the copy confusion.
Interesting. I use a MBP for work, and hate that Finder intermixes directories and files. I much prefer having directories sorted separately: it makes it easier to drill down through a hierarchy of all the directories are grouped together...
Any independent tests on the subject?

I've went to my goto source on the subject: the Bike Helmet institute: https://helmets.org/helmet19.htm#bontrager

when we sent a Specter model to a lab for conventional impact test results the results were very good but not amazing.
The animal suffering aspect kind of was the start for me. I quickly recognized the counter-arguments were very poor. The only two lines of arguments that one may defend are "Animals don't suffer" or "It is natural for humans to exploit animals". I don't hold any of these opinions and therefore I could not defend meat production ethically.
The hardest part about such a toolkit is how do you know it is undetectable. Its quite easy to see when you have managed to bypass filters but what if the government has still detected the bypass and has put you on a list for illegal activity. Or what if they work out how to detect it in the future and go back through the logs to find all the people who used it.

I think this is a problem that needs a political solution, not a technical one. The protesting in HK is probably the best way to go about this.
Big deal! This is right up there with Adobe Premiere on Windows finally getting a ProRes encoder at the top of my list of "Things That Would've Helped My FilmTech Career Around 6 years ago".

1) We finally have a file system that works across operating systems, which is a big deal if you ever do anything in a multi-OS environment.

2) exFAT is heavily used in the film production world, and the convenience of knowing it'll mount properly on any OS so you can duplicate it a few times is much more important than whether or not it's a "safer" file system in general. It doesn't need to survive forever -- the card just has to make it from the camera to the computer on the other side of the set, or survive a trip from one office to another on a shuttle drive that by this point is not the only place that data exists.

Regardless, it's still more mature in general than I remember it when it started to appear in high-end cameras around 2012/2013. When your Blackmagic camera shoots exFAT but isn't capable of deleting files off it without a computer...

3) Should something still go wrong (like, oh, the time I was almost responsible for losing $60k of footage my second day on a job due to unexpected use of exFAT + a truly unfortunate and odd-defying day of bad luck) the fact that Microsoft is implementing it in the kernel should still be a huge help -- it will be a proper implementation (not a reverse-engineered sometimes-working mess), will perform much better than FUSE, and just generally improve reliability. Trust me, when your card with irreplaceable footage won't mount, you'd rather not have to fight that battle on two fronts, with one of them being your Linux implementation.
He inherited a business, took it down market, which was lucrative, but could have back-fired.
