True, but that way I can still do my .NET / C++/WinRT interop without having to reboot the world, keeping the nice Visual Studio mixed mode debugging integration and the whole Windows infrastructure that is build around C++.

Maybe now with Microsoft having some care for Rust, the tooling situation will improve, but right now, even if handicapped, C++ lifetimes are easier to sell in some shops than rebooting the whole stack in Rust.

And in the end they all share the same goal, improved safety in our daily stacks, even the bits we only touch as user.
On a related note, always important to keep in mind that no approach to verify that a user possesses a particular phone number is truly secure [0].

Brave Could Save the Web but It Funds Bigotry [2016, Updated]
Sure, just build a video streaming website with good UI, a good recommendation/discovery algorithm, it's own avertising network (that is able to compete with YTs excellent personalized ads while having a more creator-friendly policy), spend more on human review of copyright claims than YT, establish a revenue share system for creators, as well as a system to pay monthly pledges similar to YT channel memberships or patreon (of course both need to comply with laws and regultions of all major countries), and have the budget to finance multiple months of video streaming and encoding servers.

There's space in the market, but I don't think anyone is willing to pay for that after so many others failed.

You need to be a parent and not expect regulatory fines to watch your children. You've identified a problem, you've identified the cause, and now you need to do something about it within your household.

You're literally talking about a video you let your child watch, while bemoaning the FCC needing to step in.

> The fact that YouTube can go here and say their platform is only intended for 13 year olds and up is a joke

The joke is that you understand YouTube is for 13 year olds and up, and you still allow your child on there. Personal responsibility needs to come first.

> They are marketing towards kids and I can’t stand it.

I think the claim is not that sea level rise caused civilizational collapse, but that sea level rise could have obscured many coastal cities (which presumably suffered run of the mill, non-watery deaths).
I've worked as a teacher before. I'm a bit confused as to the 17,000 hours time claimed to collect attendance information (and hence the justification that you need to automate it). Where is that number coming from?

As part of my job, I had to be able to recognise and put a name to all of my students. This is legitimately difficult and I spent a lot of time doing it. However, it was not for doing attendance! If you are in a school system below university and your teacher doesn't recognise you or know your name... I mean... I can't even comprehend what a bad situation that is. How could you ever teach a student if you know so little about them that you can't even recognise them? When you are marking their paper and see their name, if you don't even know who they are, how can you give appropriate guidance? That kind of situation would be shocking. And to be fair... because it is really, really hard I know a lot of teachers who have no clue... but seriously, this is not what we aim for!

Once you know the students, attendance is easy. Why is that chair empty? Who is supposed to sit there? Look at your seating chart (seriously, it's the best way to learn their names...). Is that person anywhere else in the room? No? They are absent. Mark it on your list. That takes all of 2 seconds. If you are really doing your job, you can ask why the person is missing. Maybe you can have their friend take them some homework. A surveillance system can't do that.

I mean... Why would you ever want an automated system in this circumstance? It just makes no sense.

I think the reality of the situation is that they really wanted a surveillance system. They didn't want to record attendance, they wanted to know where the students were in every second of the day. They wanted to time home long they are in the toilet so that they can catch them smoking or dealing drugs. They wanted to see them leaving the school o that they can lie in wait and nab them as they cut class: students 2 and 5 are supposed to be in band class but they are headed in the opposite direction -- go all you zigs! For great justice!

I just can't imagine any other reason you'd want this. Perhaps I'm wrong. I certainly hope so!
That's where the problem is, a lot of popular content creators have contracts with large media groups which specifically prevents them to upload to another platform.

Not as far as I can tell. Many of the comments in this thread have broken the site guidelines and/or are not particularly thoughtful.

The topic turns out to be unusually emotional and many of the comments in the thread are pretty bad.
To be fair "checking attendance" fundamentally erodes privacy.

That's not the issue (at least as I see it).

The big questions in my head include "Who's storing the biometric data? How are they securing it? Who has authorized access to it, and what processes and mechanisms are n place to ensure they only use it in authorized ways? What are authorized uses of the data? How is it ensured that authorized uses will ot be increased in scope? What process or mechanisms are in place to detect attempts or successful cases of some authorized 3rd party obtaining that data? What penalties are there for unauthorized use of the data and to whom will they be applied? What penalties are there for inadequately securing the data and to whom will those be applied? What processes mechanisms or policies are in place to ensure unauthorized access or failures to secure the data are detected and disclosed? How are those processes mechanisms or policies measured to ensure they're working?"

Pretty much _anyone_ dealing with EU citizen's data should already have the answers to those (and related) questions written down. (If you do not, think about how sure you are that the answer to those " .. to whom will the penalty be applied?" questions will not be "Who's responsible for the data breach? Oh, that'd be Barrin from the dev team. Here, let me give you his full contact details and their HR file! BTW, they'll be fired and marched out before close of business, might be best if you call them on their personal cell phone."

In a way that's what you want for the stereotypical "startup culture".

Nobody in their fourties who has the life experience of being married with kids is going to work lots of overtime and put up with their boss acting like a child and treating them like they are nobody. I guess that's why they like hiring college grads (that and they don't know their value so can be paid much less).

Fortnite has been criticised for it's store. Item's are only available for a limited time (24h?), with no guarantee of when they will become available again. This creates the 'Fear of Missing Out' incentive for people to spend.

Do the media partners in turn have contracts with youtube requiring that they upload to it exclusively?

If not, maybe even if so, that might not be such a bad thing. It would mean that if you could negotiate a deal with a single media group to upload to your platform as well you get a lot of content. I don't imagine these businesses are any happier with being hostage by youtube than individual creators.
Etcd 3.4
That'd work fine for small channels, but you can bet that the big ones do have exclusivity contracts. Not with YouTube directly, but media groups that tie them to YouTube.

In-video sponsors like Skillshare, NordVPN, Dollar Shave Club or whatever don't contact channels directly. There's someone representing them.

Yes, it was perfectly legal for Trump to disclose this photo, but was it wise? Tracking satellites is a hobby even among dilettantes, and now our adversaries can determine where this particular satellite is and when it might be coming over their concerned area. There are other characteristics of this photo that can be used to limit the effectiveness of these recon systems. Many billions USD are spent to provide this capability, and each of these four satellites can stay in orbit only 5 - 8 years limited by the stowed fuel tonnage it uses to prevent reentry.

I wouldn't be surprised if improvements in Javascript execution will make webassembly obsolete.

It already has a slim advantage of being 2x faster.

And Javascript has so many advantages in terms of handling. No compilation step needed at all. And since it has modules widely supported now, it is a joy to code in native Javascript without any libraries like React&Co.

Just look at how beautifully you can dynamically load code when it is needed in modern Javascript:

let calendar = await import('/modules/calendar.js');
calendar.askUserForDay("Checkin Date");

> although the school secured parents' consent to monitor the students, the regulator did not feel that it was a legally adequate reason to collect such sensitive personal data.

But this is the exact kind of situation GDPR was designed to prevent. One in which the school obviously used its position to coerce consent, because that's not consent anymore. It means companies and institutions can't abuse their power to get consent for unnecessarily broad data collection. The law is absolutely crystal clear about this and spinning it as "second-guessing is concerning" is absurd. Any less onerous requirements would easily be loopholed and technicalitied to death because that's what companies and institutions do whenever they see the opportunity. If you're upset with GDPR, blame the companies who aren't respecting our rights.

Is Twitter Aiding India’s Quest to Silence Kashmiris?
While I agree with you, we in the Java and .NET communities enjoy decentralized library distributions, so what most Java/.NET shops end up doing is setting their Nexus/NuGET servers in-house, and the proxies that care that all teams actually use those servers.

Just like vendoring, in a single place, and all teams profit from the speed of access.

The only downside is the update process to get IT to add new libraries to it, as they tend to require license validations from legal department.

>In the past few weeks, several users have complained that their accounts or tweets were suspended or withheld for posting about events in India-held Kashmir. The Pakistan government specified about 200 accounts that were suspended to Twitter, accusing the platform of aiding India’s quest to silence Kashmiris and their supporters.
>
>Among the many people whose accounts have been reported recently, President Arif Alvi also received a notice from Twitter alerting him on a complaint it received requesting for removal of his tweet on Kashmir. Although Twitter did not find the tweet to be in violation of its rules and took no action, its content moderation policy [or the lack of it] has come under intense scrutiny.
>
>A list of legal requests from the Indian Ministry of Electronic and Information Technology on Lumen suggests that all of the censured accounts belonged to Kashmiri users or those posting in support of the cause. The Indian government cited Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 against tweets it said were in violation of its law. The reported content was then withheld from access in India.

You are possibly right, but it would be sad if we our choices for writing programs with a UI are: write in javascript or compile to javascript. There are many languages out there, webASM would allow them to work without the massive pain of cross-compilation.

I guess I am just an idealist screaming about how packet switched networks are unreliable and we should all use circuit switched networks.

It is a bit more complicated. This isnt just black paint. It dries into tiny 3d structures. These are very delicate little hairs, easily brushed off by any slight abrasion. Dirt is a problem, but airflow at speed (dust in that air) would be enough to remove this coating within hours.
Scoping out the right problems is a highly non-trivial skill in itself. For example, a significant component of a PhD is learning to do this with regards to research projects (that is part of what it means to be an independent researcher). Typically, the only way to learn this is by calibrating one's experience with one's ability, and the scope of problems will evolve with the increase in both. It really helps to have a mentor to provide guidance along that path, and to help set/refine goals and to calibrate expectations and provide feedback. The reason I'm explaining all this is that it is very difficult to generically suggest "problems" without knowing your background/interests/orientation. (eg: Coming up with good student projects is an art unto itself; something that professors are expected to learn along the way)

So maybe provide some more information about yourself?

Appreciate the initiative; good luck! Maybe we should develop more of a culture of sharing "problems" openly (formulated constructively) so that others with a suitable background might take a crack at them! :-)
Campus discourse.
If you want to use a different language, why would you care about the compile target?

Compiling is done by the compiler. So to the developer it is the same. No matter if it comiles to Javascript or Webassembly.

In the end, I don't think writing code for the web in languages other then Javascript will take off. Simply because Javascript will always evolve to fit this specific environment. And therefore will always be the best choice. While other languages will evolve to be the best fit for their niche.
Oh, right, I interpreted that white part as a collar but it might just be part of the phone or a sleeve.
I think everyone has to have _some_ kind of "mental model" otherwise you wouldn't be able to code anything except random keystrokes.

But next time just write some comments outlining what the function is supposed to do.

Also take whatever rationalization people give for what they do with a grain of salt. There are lots of reasons they might have picked someone else -- maybe there was a cheaper hire, or a prettier one, or you had bad breathe that day.

But comments with an outline before you start typing real code should satisfy most people's idea of having a mental model.

If you want to pass a FAANG interview with algorithmic/puzzle questions then that's totally different than pair programming and you will probably want to get a book specifically related to that or something. Like a book titled "Cracking the Code Interview" or something.
It is possible but all of them? Also by “short” I usually mean four pages which was the usual recommendation for a paper length. To have a good grade one would need to write ten. The subject was usually something vapid so most of that must have been drivel.
This is a perfect project for a successful entrepreneur who wants to solve a hard problem just like the Duckduckgo founder.

This is the type of hard problem I'm getting more and more interested in. Someone has to bring the future open and privacy oriented Web about some day. The current model is broken and the early Internet showed us what is possible. Web 2.0 brought none of the democratization it promised largely because of the old world model it attempted to deliver it with.

Plus none of the things you listed are hard. Technical problems are easy, it's the market and growth that's hard.

I'm personally focused on Reddit, mostly theoretically atm, but YouTube is something I've considered as well.
