$150k seems high, especially if you’re making any effort to choose your school based on price. Where I went it currently costs in the $10-15k/year range for tuition, lab fees, books, etc for state residents. You could further drive the price down by doing some of it at a community college and utilizing financial aid. The opportunity cost of leaving a $50k/year job far outweighs the price of tuition.

If someone spent as much time going to a university as teaching themselves how to program and contributing to an open source project they’d be able to apply to most places.

I’d actually argue there is more value in being a well known open source contributor than where you went to school in our industry.

There are way more candidates that went to X great university than have contributed to X great open source project.

All differences result in inequalities, and diversity is a measure of differences. If you had a diverse group, and you were measuring the diversity by skills, then you would have a group with unequal skills.

If you measure equality by outcomes, regardless of the type of outcome you’re measuring, then you’re measuring people’s differences as much as you’re measuring anything else. Unequal outcomes are not something that can be remedied, nor something that we should attempt to remedy.

> Meanwhile Matrix gets by because they have a company with actual money subsidising the client app (Riot) and providing notifications for every user, no matter which homeserver they happen to be using. Without that benevolence provided for iOS, Matrix could well be another non-starter outside FOSS circles.

So, I'm reading this that regardless of using a separate 'homeserver', Matrix receives all traffic/notifications?
No. I understand perfectly what "toxic masculinity" and its political/social/cultural agenda is. That's your problem. And sadly for you, more and more people are waking up to it and virtue signaling has a very short half life. Did you know that I predicted someone like you would write precisely your comment? You're so predictable. Maybe a few years ago, you might have duped enough people. But I think the tide is turning. Only time will tell.
Wait, are you saying that Netflix alters the dynamic range of its source content? That would be awful unless used as a clearly labeled option.

I always felt that Netflix' audio quality was rather poor and lacked punch as well as dynamic range in a proper home cinema setup, but assumed it was due to their codec or streaming technology choice. However now that you mention it, it might as well be deliberate to optimize for subpar watching environments (laptop speakers, soundbars, etc.) - indeed it sounds as if their content was mastered for TV rather than cinema.
> If you say "yes", they'll just confiscate it?

Slightly more complicated, but not by much. It's not clear to me whether not talking versus explaining the situation would help or hurt your chances of keeping your money, but Civil Asset Forfeiture seems counter to the rest of the ideals of the US judicial system.

They need to be able to say it is "more likely than not" related to a crime. If there is a hint of weed in the air, the officer claims your pupils are slightly dilated, and they notice a lighter and a generic plastic baggie in the car, that might be enough to be able to confiscate the cash in your vehicle and the vehicle itself. The "hint of weed in the air" and "dilated pupils" are subjective and leave no physical evidence. The lighter+baggie aren't exclusive to marijuana, but they are considered paraphernalia. Also, having more than a few hundred/thousand USD cash has been considered more evidence of a crime in past cases (although I don't see how it could be).

And remember that there's probably a reason why you were approached by the officer, so they (or a prosecutor, if you've been arrested) will likely threaten you with more charges if you don't sign a waiver[1] or just lighten your charge sheet if you agree not to challenge the forfeiture.

And cash+vehicle confiscations usually happen to people driving through other states, so it's hard to get legal representation and it's usually pretty difficult to coordinate a legal case from out of state.

> When out-of-town drivers who felt victimized by a Tenaha forfeiture called local lawyers for help, their business wasn’t always welcomed. “That’d be like kicking a basket of rattlesnakes,” one defense lawyer warned a forfeiture target.[1]

Everything about Civil Asset Forfeiture has a bad smell. I wish we would just roll it back. It's a perversion of justice to allow the same government organizations who confiscate property to profit from the confiscations.

Typically straightforward Numpy gets me from 40× slower than straightforward C to 5× slower. Tricky Numpy (output arguments, conversions to lower precision, weird SciPy functions) gets me another factor of 2. C SIMD (intrinsics or GCC’s portable vector types) gets me a factor of 4 faster than straightforward C. Presumably CUDA would buy me another factor of 100 but I haven't tried it and I haven't tried Numba either.

I disagree with this, like anything else it’s going to depend on the person. It’s really hard to generalize when it comes to people’s ambitions.

There are so many examples of serial entrepreneurs doing it over and over. Likewise of employees of startups going on to do even better in the next startup they join.

Serial entrepreneurs do get to raise more money, markets reward success, and I am with you that it’s not always deservingly. I also think many startups can and do pivot and serial founders aren’t more likely to pivot than the non serial kind.

I would bet on Justin Khan finding a way to success, much more so than not.

BART has a safety system that can detect the presence of trains based on the electric potential across the tracks (since the wheels are metal). There was a collision back in the 1970s or 1980s because the repair vehicles had rubber wheels are were therefore not visible to the safety system. A BART train collided with one of the repair vehicles and killed one of the repairmen.
I always say politely "I respectfully decline to answer questions." I never make it a machismo contest or get upset, but sometimes I have to repeat that a few times. Also super important "I decline a search of my vehicle and person as a matter of principal."
Here's an "unusual" one I read about recently:

> He denied having any ID, claimed he could not remember his Social Security umber, and said his name was “Mr. Horrell.”

> After police found a photo ID in the vehicle, he claimed the person pictured was his “identical cousin.”

---

He was arrested and charged with "privacy invasion and refusal to identify himself". He was acquitted of the former and convicted of the latter -- only to have it later overturned.

So, in this particular case, I suppose he won.

That quote doesn’t stand up to basic scrutiny. Perfectly normal differences from one person to another will result in perfectly normal differences in economic outcomes from one person to another. To eradicate classes, you must eradicate differences in economic outcomes, or at least make the differences so small that they cannot possibly be classifiable. The first half of the quote contradicts the second half.

> Surely any "natural" string would be better represented as unicode in Python 2?

No because much of the stdlib works in terms of native strings and will choke (or worse silently fuck up) on the other. Yes also in python 2, the stdlib was absolutely not “unicode clean”.

So a transitional / polyglot codebase has and needs not 2 but 3 string types: bytes, unicode, and native. And neither “unicode literals” nor “bytes literals” were good things to apply across the board.

You are right that you aren’t the target market, $2400/year isn’t anywhere near the cost to provide the education- most states spend more than $10k/year on elementary school students.

The cheapest working professional option I know of is Western Governors University (WGU). They do “competency based education” which I guess means letting you test out of a bunch of stuff and cost roughly $6700/year. Since you a presumably a practitioner already, you’d finish the program in 2-3 years, getting closer to that $2400/year target.
Yeah there's definitely lots of internal discussion to see what can be done. Traefik is getting quite popular and is arguably the heir apparent. Nginx and HAProxy also work and are as battle tested as software comes.

We may also add a first class notion of ingress load balancing in the future and Envoy would be the natural choice there because we already use it for Nomad's Consul Connect integration.

Hmm, I guess when I say “ECS”, I mean a setup where entities are solely IDs, components are data without functionality, and systems are stateless operations on entities that have certain components “attached”.

I’d contrast this with a more traditional “OO” game or Unity’s actor/prefab way of doing things.
If the problem is big enough, cost isn't a problem. You'll also find that the cheaper clients/users are much worse. In fact, a lot of people even raise prices to cut down on user support and "fire" some troublesome customers.

It's probably easier to do higher quality replicas of niche software as a lot of them are poorly done.

Thank you for your comment.

At any conference where a major result is presented, people in the audience get up and ask questions about the value of the intervention, the conduct of the study etc, just the kind of things Prasad rants about.

For people with incurable conditions, "dread diseases" and very deadly conditions, the current system is already too conservative. They denied approval for a non-drug treatment for cystic fibrosis because some participants had lung bleeds. Lung bleeds are common with CF. CF is extremely miserable and has a very short average life expectancy.

There are many stories like this out there. People with horrible conditions hear the news that some new drug they were hoping would get approved has been denied by people who seem to be comparing it to some internalized standard for someone relatively healthy and not actually comparing it to "Is it better for this group of people than what they currently have?"

There are very, very expensive drugs and surgeries that get approved at times and that's a whole other issue for such communities. But it's a very real problem that some people are dying and drug approvals don't seem to actually take that into account. I've seen people say things like "Just let me live the additional five years that it takes to get these horrible side effects instead of dying before then. I will worry about the horrible side effects then."

Most people want to live, even when that involves terrible suffering. Most people want that chance. And our drug approval process is often maddeningly conservative already in the eyes of people with various terrible conditions who would be happy to be a guinea pig to have some kind of shot at survival.

It's a logic that makes sense to the people enduring these diseases, but one the medical establishment recoils from.
Digging deeper on Twitter there’s a ton of pissed off lawyers (obviously including the laid off ones) and customers who both felt blind-sided.

The corporate legalese speak made things worse, of course.

I guess I underestimated the anger this would cause, so makes sense people are not going to touch it.
Do you think a downvote penalty system works better than one which doesn't have one?

I am trying to figure out which system works best -

1. Reddit's where you can upvote or downvote a post

2. HN's where you can only upvote a post and both up and down vote a comment

3. Stackoverflow's where you can downvote but with downvote penalty

I think a combination of HN's and SO's would be best - posts can only be upvotes, comments can both be up and downvotes but downvotes come with a penalty.

Are there any studies on this subject?

In those cases, the original project lived on. Here Python 3 is the incompatible fork, but because the technical fork is done by the folks who control the name and who want to shut the old thing down, so the compatible evolution of Python 2 had to change the name.

I am currently verifying the new torrent, but I have to leave any minute now so I don't have time to see what the result is until I get back but I think probably the new torrent they posted is going to verify correctly. We will see.

Hint: if Apple allowed apps to run indefinitely in the background, it would be less than a month before almost every app "needs to run in the background", for user-unfriendly reasons. And battery life would drop to a couple of hours.

This is why I'm an Apple user. Hate regarding Apple's policies like "use a platform that lets the app function correctly" (ie. drain battery running in background just to do more tracking, or because every developer assumes THEIR app is so special that it must never be unloaded from memory, in order to open instantly when being swapped back to... weeks after user's last interaction). With hilarious frequency, the complaints people have about Apple are precisely the reasons I prefer their products.

Taking a step back and looking at the situation there really should be a way to "opt out" and still physically be in some part of the country. By that I mean opt out of taxes, any and all civil services, and public use things, basically everything that taxes pay for. There might have to be a zone of the country designated for this for "self sufficient community". Thinking about it Amish are already kind of this way already.

I'm not saying you should be exempt from laws but there should be some legal way to opt out of the system, as a safety valve at least.
