It’s not the bank’s responsibility because they aren’t at risk of a default on the loan for the student picking a useful degree. Remove that government backstop and banks are going to get awfully good at rejecting $200k loans for an out of state B.A. degree in Renaissance Era French Literature.
That is good to know that it stays local! Great app idea too. Thanks for replying.

That doesn't sound like much of a change from the last 30 years. FOSS has done fine so far.

Really the only thing that might work is if there was broad community acceptance of not changing all the lower parts of the software stack all the time so the maintenance burden is lower.

Honestly; if we were interested in what was good for FOSS all that needs to happen is that hardware stops improving all the time. Then everyone can calm down, declare things finished and move on without requirements changing. The Linux graphic system (c.f. Xorg v. Wayland) still hasn't finished adjusting to graphics cards. That sort of change is bad for FOSS.

In a sense, this sort of thing is what is being showcased here. The breaking changes to FUSE are probably going to be linked to design changes in Catalina triggered by RAM/CPU/Network changes and the RPM/SSD transition that has been going on for however long. When that sort of thing subsides in 50 years there is going to be this amazing FOSS renaissance as working things stop breaking because of hardware changes and the balance really tilts towards free & available software.
Because the fact they even offer this super-high-end equipment helps their reputation and let's them sell more iPhones and watches.
I think he is referring to situation when compiler both catches errors at compile-time and is fast. After all the validation part happening in the fronted is rarely the most resource consuming thing that compiler does.
Pros and Cons of Bitmap File Formats
This article seems weak - it is extremely disappointing that it was written by a research assistant and a 'professor'.
This line here 'Eastern societies created institutions primarily aimed at defence rather than economic development, even over the following centuries when the threat had long disappeared' - someone who know history of Eastern countries will be aware that those countries where constantly attacked by Western ones - Germany-Poland wars lasted between 1000-1400. Poland was under relative peace in the 16th century when it gained wealth ( according to some statistics, Polish Kingdom was the biggest importer of luxurious cloths at that time, and as we know today if basic needs are satisfied people turn into consumption). Then in the 17th century Poland was attacked by Swedes, Germans, Russians which started the dawn of the country which ended in the end of the 18th century by splitting Poland between Russia, Germany and Austro-Hungary. Then when Poland re-gained independency in the 20th century it stared building an army, economy was raising, then WWII happened during which Poland was completely destroyed and until today it did not receive any compensation from Germany, obviously after WWII Communist Russia ruled in Poland which didn't help the economy. Since 1989 Poland is developing again, nobody is attacking the country and it is developing again. I'd like to know taking into account the above citation when did the threat had long disappeare? Obviously taking into consideration the dates which the article mentions, not know, as there are no wars ATM.

From my own experience Polish people are not EU sceptic, and the ruling party is not sceptic at all. The problem has far more deeper roots and is related to transformation process in which post-communist stayed in power even though the Communism collapsed. But this requires another article by people who know more than me.

Not publicly[1] but it could be on given day. Closed source code can't be.

I appreciate this is framed as "incredibly crude approximation", but here's a contrived counter example to try to highlight ugly detail that language such as "providing real value" may gloss over:

> If you move money around and end up with more than you started, that's because you moved money around in ways that provided real value to people.

If I drive the getaway car for my friend's bank heist in return for a 30% cut of the spoils, we can argue I'm moving money around in ways that provide real value to other people (where by "people" we specifically mean my bank-robbing friend).

> providing value to the world

By "providing value to the world" do we mean "providing value to at least one other person ignoring other parties who may have lost value"?

I think as a general rule of thumb it is quite dangerous to conflate "profitable activity" with "providing value to the world".
I was only half joking. Yale used to have a cluster with Xserve machines.
So, to lump medical degrees discharged in bankruptcy as a risk to undergrad loan financing is a bit disingenuous.

Not addressed to you, personally.

Lots of options here.
It's not spin at all though. web devs and high bandwidth users think the world revolves around them since they consume the majority of traffic; but latency is a huge issue in multiplayer games and players and providers are absolutely willing to pay a premium for lower latencies. You sometimes see professional e-sports players actually relocating closer to the servers for better ping.
It's API is not very clear, but it does seem to have roughly equivalent functionality to FUSE. The only obvious restriction is that there must be a physical file on disk rather than doing everything in-memory.
I would love to see this also for App Store & Play Store Revenues. That would push me to pay for something like this because it's much harder to get that revenue data in real-time .
But they demonstrably can allow for a sustainable project, the obvious example being the Linux Foundation.

Your calculation doesn't seem to account for the fact that light in fibre travels slower than in vacuum, 2/3 if memory serves, so it's a lot closer than you think.

A lot of the latency will be due to the conversion between light and electricity for processing in routers/switches. If we had all optical processing that would probably bring the latency down close to the theoretical limit
Although I like OCaml way better than lisp, there is some static typing in Common Lisp. Sure there would be a lot of T (basic object) in your signatures, but you can have some typing discipline within it (although not as strict and beautiful as in ML languages).
Determining that is not hard at all. Is there a big buy button and a million ads on the front page? Then it's not being used. Done.

But of course, ICANN and registars make way too much money from these people to do anything about it. Isn't capitalism just wonderful?
So, nothing to do with undergraduate degrees?

You think? If someone is paying them money for the manufacturing of goods, then regardless of the value and utility of those goods, I’d say they have a business.
As a sibling comment points out, you forget it’s even there. In a Swedish theater American movies have subtitles but when I watch them at home I usually don’t use subtitles. No difference whatsoever in immersion, comprehension or overall pleasure.

The only annoying thing could be bad subtitles, as in the translation is poor and you notice it. And of course jokes that don’t work in Swedish get lost or changed in translation, which you notice in the subtitles. These situations happen maybe once, for five seconds. Far less annoying than not even hearing the actors’ performance.

This is nice :)

Two parts can be replaced I guess with better alternatives though:

1. Risc-v chips for esp8266. Why? Because they are built on open source standard, are cheaply available, and are generally very powerful.

2. 802.11ah for LoRa. Why? Well, lora is highly optimized towards power optimization at the expense of data transfer rate. Data rates offered by LoRa might not be suitable for anything much demanding other that IoT. 802.11ah on other hand is also optimized for power, but still can operate up to at multiple 100mbps of data rates, with range in many KM's and supporting thousands of connections per installment.

Seems like that's the end goal here, to capture 100% of the market and aftermarket.

Exactly.

But the reality is that the added friction in buying and using the tickets often results in not attending at all.

Mobile-only ticketing is toxic. It makes transacting on eBay and Craigslist impossible, or at best unsafe.

You have no souvenir.

Going as a group? Everyone has to install the app and each ticket be forwarded individually... and the apps are almost always privacy sucks with aggressive permission demands.

Going to/from a pricier concourse? Better have your phone to show you are eligible!

Giving tickets to a group or charity auction becomes impossible.

Major event like playoffs, tournament or top concert? Better hope your mobile provider added capacity at the venue (this was a HUGE problem for World Series games in SF, for example).

The 49ers went to mobile only ticketing in 2014. Then they went 5 full years without a single sellout. The 2018 home opener was 60% empty.

The Sharks went mobile only for awhile and haven't had a genuine sellout since (including the Stanley Cup Finals!)
GC is also not that big of an issue in these type of games if one's careful of using pools for the various objects, and then release stuff at appropriate times.
That is very obviously not the reason. The reason is that tech startups are swimming in money and seem to like the sound of .io domains. Same with .tech and .ai.

Unfortunately, much of the debt was improperly resold, and collections agencies attempt to collect on debts they have no legal rights to.
A decent chunk of programmers use GNU/Linux distros. Support is very lacking there.
Or AGPL.

Though as gdrive does have locally installed components, if those used code covered by standard GPL they at least would be covered even if the server-side components were considered separate enough that they would not.
Yes, exactly. You have my vote and my support in case the Qt framework will be forked based on the LGPL 2 versions and continued from there independently of the Qt Company.

Here some figures: Nokia bought Trolltech and thus the intellectual property of Qt 4 for around 100 million Euros, and then released it to the public under LGPL. Nokia also payed for the development of Qt 4.4 to 5.0, and then "sold" everything to Digia for a piece of bread (about 4 Mio Euros). The contribution rate of Nokia was ~80% according to commit logs; the contribution rate of The Qt Company is at ~40% - and it's mostly on stuff important to them (i.e. which they can sell). So at least 50% are open source contributions by others. This information is all publicly available; you can read it yourself. So the Qt Company massively profited from this and should stop complaining and turning crooked things.

And they have to stop their u-boats, which act anonymously and make opinion.
Elementary and secondary are free to keep people going to work (i.e. it's child minding), and to keep children out of the workforce.
I still don't believe that. Not even a little bit.

It's just that advertisers are absolutely fantastic at guessing what you might want, even if you have never ever actually looked at a product yourself. Maybe you were talking to your friends about something, and sure, you never searched for it, but your friend did while connected to your wifi - now your ip address is forever associated with that search, even if you yourself have never searched for it. Then when you suddenly get an ad for this product it feels like google must be listening to you.

I had this conversation with my mum few weeks ago - she was absolutely adamant that Google must be spying on her, because she spoke to me about getting a roomba on the phone, she has never searched for it, and yet she's getting ads for a roomba everywhere. They MUST be listening to her. Except that I reminded her that a week earlier I sent her an amazon link to a roomba, which she clicked and therefore is forever branded as someone who is looking for roombas. No conspiracy required, she simply forgot she has actually looked at a roomba-related website.

It's just...if they were really listening, it would have implications in both power and data usage, there would be a smoking gun somewhere - and there just isn't. Advertisers can figure out what you want even without listening to what you say.

I see I'm interested in the differences of US vs European (continental, e.g. German) system here and to what extent all the American blog posts and comment threads are applicable here.

In Germany it's not considered grad "school", you're a full time "scientific employee" employed by the state and on a somewhat different plane of bureaucracic existence you're also a "doctoral candidate". The pay gap between academia and industry is also much smaller. It surely exists, but a scientific employee gets about 45k eur gross per year. Straight out of a masters it's typically 55-65k, or if you're really good maybe 75 (roughly) .

And I know people who dropped out and found a job without issues. In whst world does it not count as experience that you've mentored masters and bachelor students, probably took part in industry cooperation, traveled the world for conferences and gave talks, did in-house miscellaneous IT work, like you would at a startup.

It's really hard to compare an American PhD student straight out of bachelor's in medieval philosoohy of religion vs a doctoral candidate after a masters in Germany researching, say, machine learning for energy efficiency.
But is it allowed for users to choose a machine that forbids this?

> With gitmoji others or your future self can simply look at the associated emoji and straightaway catch the intention.

Just like a word does.

> The [bug emoji] emoji is easily recognized as a bug by most people

The word "bug" works for me.

> but will [tulip emoji] immediately signalize that code is removed?

Nope. Besides, we already have commonly used symbols for that, "+" for a line added and "-" for a line deleted. I'm not sure what a tulip has to do with deleting code.

edit: hackernews removed the emoji from my post. (I put in the words for the images.) Another reason to not use emoji.
Except that all of those angry debtors can vote, and elect representatives who change the applicable laws. So one way things are different this time around is that government action could precipitate events in unpredictable ways.

Remember Bernie is talking about straight up forgiveness: the debt just disappears. He probably won't be the next President but student loan reform (including existing loans) is a hot topic for many candidates.

Not a generic solution, because it increases latency.

Wizard Code: A View on Low-Level Programming (2016)
I’m neither and I can tell you that Java is most places that game players are.
The restriction is that the FileProvider api is only used by desktop applications for user files. You can’t for instance run the application itself from there.
I think it should care about games and that it already does. A lot of development for computers was made possible because of gaming.

Today streaming is also a huge factor. But the principle is the same that any low latency application will profit from expectations that are created by consumers on a large scale.

So I think the premise of the article is wrong. The "net" does care about speed and latency. And I doubt a Balkanization of private networks will be advantageous for anyone besides the respective providers. Premium traffic shouldn't be the goal. Common infrastructure that can handle the load is and exclusive network access should be minimized to as few applications as possible.
Also happened in London until 1871, although technically it wasn't theft as it was from common land which had the right to dig confirmed in 1780:

"During the 19th century, there was an increasing demand for the high quality Bagshot Sand, for use in building and iron foundry casts. In response to this demand ... Eight loads a day in 1814 rose to thirty loads a day in 1866.
...
[By 1871] The whole space on the summit of the hill, to the right and the left of the high road ... has been ruthlessly dug up for gravel and sand; leaving a dreary, desert prospect of hideous pits and shapeless heaps as far as the view extends over the hill itself, with a few miserable furze bushes here and there, a ragged tuft of dusty ling; but without one square yard of verdant turf for a baby to roll on. The very body of the earth had been cut away to an amazing depth, with the entire surface of those parts of the heath which formed the brow and crown of the hill. Holes are scooped out close to the high road thirty feet or forty feet deep ..."[0]

Oh ? I’m quite disappointed, I thought that was the whole point of sendfile() ! What does it do if not that ?
It's a problem insofar as HN is, on purpose, stripping emoji. Which is a questionable choice...
It's also mostly a full implementation of the Common Lisp standard with extensions, which is quite an achievement.
I honestly don’t care about the whole crypto part of this. I just see someone selling funky banknotes and I’m going to hold onto them in the vain hope that I’ll someday run into someone that’s done the same thing.
the Libre Software community understands this, which is one of the reasons we push for the Use of Copy-Left licenses, and not Permissive licenses.

So something like what happened here is not even possible. If the FUSE project on OSX would have been GPL from the beginning this person would not be able to change the licensing since he originally forked it, unless he rewrote all of the GPL code in a clean room rewrite which is not really realistic
>They make cross-site requests all over the place (to weird servers like "some-huge-name-that-obscures-the-host-name.atl-pass.net", and even some third party servers!), tons of Javascript and css for basic features, etc

If you like this, you should try Microsoft. They combine this crap with endless redirects. Usually, I give up after 5 minutes whitelisting + redirects.
It all sounds clever but obviously Catalina was not released yesterday, it was released some time ago and if a companies software required changes for Catalina they should have noticed many months ago while testing on the beta releases.
If he wanted to switch to GPL, he wouldn't have to relicence all the code; just the code that is by him alone. The contributions by others are in a permissive license that is compatible with the GPL, so they could remain in their current state; but the whole project would contain GPL code so anyone redistributing the project would have to do abide with the terms of the GPL.
Depending on the screen I always see a Rotating police light in red at first.
I don't see this as idealism vs a selfish human nature, not directly at least. The maintainer has been delivering a low level open-source product within a proprietary operating system. That's got to be tough, and as the article states, it's the main source of hurdles to others taking up the project.
You only need predict one startup or celebrity name right and you can do all the squatting your cold evil heart desires for the next 20 years. Everything after that is pure profit. Domain names are cheap and companies are rich. It's not that unlikely.
