But once you run any of those binaries, it's free to replace any of your other (non-root-owned) binaries in `~/.local`. So the trust you're talking about seems to be a preference, but I don't think there's any particularly plausible threat model that makes one of these safer than the other.
Thanks for explaining. That seems to be the neat thing that I'm picking up on about what Microsoft Research people keep calling "Model Based Machine Learning" [0], in that you construct a model based on your assumptions about the problem, and by implementing it, the compiler can fit it to an appropriate algorithm.

I basically set up my GDB with commands to stop on a specific pattern of "lseek, then close", and if the pattern isn't met it just automatically continues the program.

This is what the gdb script looks like:

set height 0

catch syscall close
catch syscall read
catch syscall lseek
disable 1 2

commands 2
disable 1 2
continue
end

commands 3
if $rdi == 31
enable 1 2
continue
else
continue
end
end

The lseek catchpoint (3) enables both read and close catchpoints; if the read catchpoint (2) is hit first it disables both and continues. This way we look for lseek followed by close without intervening reads.

It generates a few false positives but otherwise fairly quickly stops on the right syscall, at which point I could backtrace and prod the live program.
If you track where the money went, I'd say it's education institutions' lobbying.

Loans should only be given to those who stand to create more value than the loan itself.

I still believe education is valuable, but not every degree is worth the loan - and with non-dischargable loans, the lender has no incentive to check if the loan makes sense for the degree.
That's likely very expensive and painful. And probably very hard to manage without leaving quite the paper trail.
To be entirely fair, by reading those philosophers listed, you get the parts of Plato that they believe have value. That's not necessarily the same thing as the parts of Plato that actually have value, I'm sure you agree?

Of course that Aristotle believes something does not make it true, but also that Nussbaum doesn't believe something Aristotle believes doesn't make it false either!

Why is an interpreter desirable when JIT compilers create significantly faster code? Is this primarily about embedded use?
We have had compile-time checks on SQL in Scala for years, I believe slick 3 (https://scala-slick.org/) was the pioneer in the language.

One detail that I really liked from Slick is that the compilation fails if your queries can't be performed against your database schema (think about missing columns, or wrong names or types).

While compile-time checks can be very useful, in my experience, there is nothing like having small integration tests that run against a real database which can easily be mounted by docker.
Right, but the point is that not only does this metric not tell the whole story, but that it tells the WRONG story.

Unemployment isn't a useful metric anymore.
I agree with your point but I think it's important to use more realistic numbers.

According to [1] the average tuition numbers are closer to the following:

$10k public in-state,
$25k public out-of-state,
$50k private

In my own personal experience at a large public university, only freshman-level classes have on the order of hundreds of students. But even supposing the average lecture hall contains ~40 students paying ~$20k per year each, that's about $800k per year. Maybe each student has 4 classes, so there's about $200k for each course. Let's say the professor teaches two classes, taking a generous salary of $50k per class. That leaves ~$150k per class unaccounted for! Not as outrageous as your $34M number but still quite unacceptable.

> His point is that by buying your tenth car you will contribute to productivity, but the use value of your tenth car is much lower than having those same ten cars (and thus the same productivity) spread across ten people.

How does he know that? That isn't an obvious thing at all. I know a bloke who owns 5 cars; his family has 5 people in it. They are a very productive family and they get a lot done for the public good as a family with those cars. The quoted example only works because the premise is that the money is going to be wasted and then the conclusion is that the money is being wasted. A weak example.

I can guarantee all investment is done by wealthy people; poor people can't invest by virtue of having no money. Practically all investment is done by the middle- and upper- classes. It isn't really possible to make a pithy point about this sort of thing because there needs to be discussion of things like investment outcomes; some subjects can't be simplified. "Public Good" isn't an instant thing, it takes place over time.

Ideally there would just be metadata about a project and one button you press to deploy and each side would be responsible for curating what they listen to.
su root -c 'rm "$@"' -- "$@"

The first instance ('rm "$@"') is part of the argument to -c. It is the "command" that su will have the spawned shell execute. The single quotes around the entire command pass the whole command, unchanged, onward to the shell that will be spawned, so that what is executed by that spawned shell is rm "$@" .

The second instance is the argument list being given to su by the shell running the su, and it is just normal "$@" semantics there. One has to realize here that the second "$@" is being expanded by the current shell (the one running su) while the first "$@" is not expanded by the current shell, but is instead expanded by the spawned shell.

The "$@" is needed twice, because two expansions ultimately take place, the first expansion occurs in the current shell, the second one is delayed and occurs in the spawned shell.

I think this is an issue of what is meant by the term 'pull'.

I used it to refer to physical consumption of alcohol, and by analogy spending time browsing the internet or similar. I'd quibble that the way you're using it would be more appropriately termed 'exposure', and then you could roughly equate social situations where alcohol use is prevalent to websites that expose you to a deluge of information.

This might seem like needless hair splitting, but I think it's core to the point I was trying to make. Exposure to alcohol at a social event isn't a problem for me - a non-alcoholic - because alcohol is pull (ie no one is actively coercing me to consume it). But that's irrelevant to an alcoholic, for whom exposure itself poses a problem.

Similarly, no one is forcing me to browse social media or navigate through to the next clickbait headline. But for some people, mere exposure is sufficient to cause this - they fail to successfully self-regulate their information intake.

So then to complete the chain of analogies, the article is about the power of employing such a deluge of information in a motivated manner. Depending on how nefariously this is done, we might compare it to anything from regular advertising (open and obvious), to product placement in movies (subliminal), to historical cigarette advertising prior to regulation (open, but usage is harmful to health).

It always a surprise to me why US college education is SO expensive, like order of magnitude than the rest of the world.

I mean if it isn't that expensive, it will surely not lead to this student loan crisis.
Tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid student loan debt is bad credit. Your credit score goes down the more money you owe. It is first and foremost a measure of how much you currently owe. This largely determines whether you will be able to take on another debt.
I think this guy learned exactly the wrong lesson. The lesson he ought to have learn is to avoid premature optimization - he tried to refactor the code too soon after is was originally created.

Jay Ward, the Creative Director for Pixar's Cars brand, theorized the following backstory for the franchise:

"If you think about this, we have autonomous car technology coming in right now. It’s getting to the point where you can sit back in the car and it drives itself. Imagine in the near-future when the cars keep getting smarter and smarter and after one day they just go, “Why do we need human beings anymore? They’re just slowing us down. It’s just extra weight, let’s get rid of them.” But the car takes on the personality of the last person who drove it. Whoa. There you go."

Just because a law makes it illegal to discriminate does not eliminate discrimination. In the United States small businesses account for the most employees. Small business owners do not hire minorities because they risk being sued when they fire them. There is less risk to not hire than there is to hire due to the Civil Rights Act. This results in less minority hires.

If a minority runs a business and only wants to hire minorities they have a greater risk of being sued because it is easier for a person in majority race to prove discrimnation.
