The dot comes back after a minor update. But it doesn't show Catalina anymore. Just the dot. Running this makes it go away. Until software update is started again. It's like the option to install software from anywhere. That goes away too after an update. It seems to be Apple's way of fucking with power users who dare do things that it doesn't want them to do. Or maybe it's just another bug in the sea of bugs that is MacOS. Hard to say.

The oil & gas industry in the US is 8% of GDP, not 20%. The US oil & gas industry pays about a 37% average income tax rate.

Nationalizing that industry isn't going to be a bonanza for the government.
As someone whose intro to programming class WAS built on Turbo C almost thirty years ago, let me tell you how it was:

One day's worth of handouts told you about the IDE.

Another handout was tips for debugging, including common compiler errors and what they meant.

That was it! The rest you learned in the computer cluster, with the help of your dormmate, TA, or computer cluster tutor. The course itself, from then on out, focused (quite rightly IMO) on programming concepts, structures, abstractions, and basic algorithms.

The main computer clusters on campus also had a whole panoply of brochures on how to use Unix, as well as various editors/tools. They were for use by all students, not just the CS students.

In short: it should not take a massive investment of class prep and time to teach students the practicalia they will need to know. Save it for the labs. Don't make a semester course out of it. Include the whole student body as your audience by publishing self-help materials for all.
In other engineering disciplines this used to be called "shop class" or similar. In his day my dad was taught as much about carpentry, metal work, plumbing etc as he was taught about radios and circuits.

As an educational technique, "sink or swim" is about as efficient as spinning a wheel and handing out degrees.
There are 4,000+ planned starlink satellites that are planning to be deployed in total. This, in addition to backup with cell towers in case starlink goes down really makes this scenario risk-free.
DataStax | Front End Lead | ONSITE (Santa Clara, CA) or REMOTE | Full-Time

DataStax is changing the way our users think about data persistence and management. We are looking for a user obsessed Front End Lead that wants to come in and own the entire user experience for our cloud database product line. The ideal person for this role will be equally happy working with the business to refine requirements and wireframes as they are working with partners on the backend teams. They will be adept at breaking work down into technical requirements for themselves and the rest of their front end team to deliver against. The current stack is React and JavaScript with a GraphQL backend.

If we cared about grandma’s secret recipe for the perfect Christmas casserole, we’d find no issue in obtaining it strictly from user-mode and then selling it to The Food Network. The purpose of this upgrade is to monitor system state for integrity (so we can trust our data) and to make it harder for cheaters to tamper with our games (so you can’t blame aimbots for personal failure).

The obvious solution would be to combine each nagging signal with a red-light camera, at which point it becomes very "real".
There's (at least) two different systems for video takedowns on Youtube.

DMCA takedowns have the option you specified.

Content ID is a seperate system, where it's entirely controlled by the claimant. They can choose to claim your video or not, and you have no option (other than to sue them - i.e the reverse of the DMCA system) if you want your video to go back up.

e: And to be clear, this was a Content ID claim. It's in the first screenshot on twitter where it says "Blocked - No one can view this video to one or more of the Content ID claims below"

e2: Also, Content ID does have an appeal system, but if the claimant rejects the appeal your only recourse is to initial legal action.
I think the California statutory damages are $4,000. The article gives the impression it's a $60,000 settlement being offered:

>The other option to opt for a settlement was not in the cards either, added Tran, who said she could not afford paying a massive $60,000 payout.
It also has to be somewhat more energy efficient than an actual hummer, otherwise it's going to go like 50 miles on a full charge. And charging will take three days.
It kinda seems to me that the fact that the government has proven to be able to successfully provide postal service is evidence that we don’t need private alternatives introducing inefficiencies in the form of rent seeking
People who don’t work with many people love it. For all of its faults, it’s not as awful as Skype for Business.

I interface with too many people, it has brought the dumpster fire of sharepoint to a chat client. I’m now enrolled in 96 teams, 94 of which have no activity.

I think there is a universal law of chat client entropy. All chat clients only get worse over time. The category hit peak UX in 1999 with AIM/Yahoo, and gets worse every day. Eventually, Teams will merge into exchange, and your chats will be specially formatted emails, stored in Sharepoint.

The browser dev tools of various browsers are debuggers and are very widely used - I'd guess completely independently of amount of time spent in a terminal.

Other factors, post-C, are probably things lots of languages don't have good debuggers or good debuggers take a while to materialize, debuggers are less necessary in managed-runtime languages, etc.

it's an itsy bitsy tiny market, even if every cto joined.
personally, the domain sounds pretentious and douchy, and as a cto i would not want to join simply because it sets the wrong impression that "i'm better than you and you are not qualifed to discuss real matters with me - also, as CTO, rest assured I'm only transparent with folks 'at my level', although our company promises transparency to everyone".

also, i could fake those credentials in a heart beat.

just my 2cents, good luck with it though.

No Elon constantly buys his own bullshit. This has been true for years and years and years long before he became famous from Tesla. His bullshit does eventually become true though, unless it's canceled entirely. It just never happens when he says it will happen.
That's correct. The ability to cheat relies on the fact that servers don't actually model the client's view of the world to any fidelity. The server sends you information about the world you can't see so it doesn't have to do the culling. It accepts clearly impossible input that is obviously not human because statistical analysis would require some data scientists who are quite difficult to hire at the bargain-basement rates game companies pay.

You don't even need a hypervisor to bypass this, just a driver that pretends to be their kernel driver.

It seems like it's getting intense everywhere - I'm in Armenia which just had their visa free travel regime open up with China in Jan and they're talking about restricting it already. I just flew in this AM from a trip and they made you fill out a card stating where you're coming from, seat, where you're staying, etc. (I assume to trace back any outbreak more easily) and have some sort of setup near immigration that looks like it's scanning passenger temps. I vaguely remember the same setup during SARS days too
Microsoft had a great system until the mid 2010s. Testers did an amazing job preventing crap from making it to customers. Developers simply don't make good testers. Unfortunately they decided to follow everyone else and destroy this along with replacing offices for open space.

Probably only because most hypervisors don't bother to hide themselves. There's no reason you couldn't prevent detection.

Not to mention some people are creating FPGA boards that use DMA to read memory, something no one is setup to prevent (would require an IOMMU and an OS that bothered to configure it properly; also very difficult to differentiate legit cards from cheating cards and an area game developers have zero experience with right now).

Plus Tesla still does not report disengagements to the CA dmv, right? It seems so strange to me that their HQ is there and they do not report any testing there.
Like a lot of the comments here most people don't even notice the gaps if they're less than a year. I've taken 9 months of due to significant other starting a grad program and 6 months off to live in another country. No one has ever asked me in an interview. Mind you this is over about 5 years so I've only worked about 3.6 of the 5. Since then I've done quite a large number of interviews (had a case of bad job fit about a year ago).

My Mid-Career Job-Hunt: A Data Point for Job-Seeking Devs
The interactions between JS, CSS and HTML are not the main problem. The main problems are:

Feature interaction complexity between CSS features is a huge problem. Some of that could have been avoided if CSS had been designed differently, but some of it seems unavoidable (e.g. laying out text with mixed directions, mixed writing modes, ruby, font substitution, modern font features, etc etc --- at speed --- is just really complex).

Modern high-performance JS is really complicated to implement.

The plethora of APIs exposed to JS --- WebXYZ --- is incredibly complicated.

HTML is pretty complicated, e.g. HTML forms.

But if you take away JS, CSS/HTML don't get a whole lot easier, assuming you're still supporting interaction in some way. I mean, for your proposed map API, if the user can manipulate the functionality and you have lots of features that can be customized declaratively, it's not much more complicated to expose those controls to JS.

If you can simplify the problem so that CSS and HTML don't need to support incremental relayout/DOM changes, that would help a lot, but removing JS isn't enough for that. Things like zooming, window resizing, incremental loading, and any kind of editing put a lot of the same requirements on the engine.
Not after the dust has settled and been removed. Aerosol dust, yes nasty. But inless there is enough of it it and also aerosolized, it won’t explode.
Market size isn't a consideration here.. I just like building communities and getting people to help each other. When you're talking about small groups of a dozen people, it doesn't matter so much if there's only 100 or a million in the world.

And I'm certainly open to suggestions on the domain, if you have any ideas!

probably one of the best products i've seen launched here in a while. simple, useful, requires no effort to get started. I wish you luck!
I don't think that's true.

Consider a company with 1T shares that's valued at $1T with $100B of cash. Presumably, $100B of that valuation is for the cash, because investors know they could give that money back through dividends or the like. Let's say the company buys back 100B shares for its $100B. Because the company no longer has the cash, the overall value decreases (to $900B) to the same degree that there are less shares on the market (100B less).
The issue is the value the employer derives from this set up vastly outstrips the value the average application receives (which is severely negative for most candidates). The fact is, most applicants for such a job have practically zero chance at getting hired. Just that they don't know this. So they go above and beyond for the sake of making a good impression, and you get to throw them out after 30 seconds of scanning their submission or looking at their resume. You get the candidate to put in hours of work which you will use to cut them with as little effort on your end as possible. It's exploitative.

To be clear, this is just a general critique of up front multi-hour tests. There are ways to make these things not so lopsided. For example, make clear in the job announcement the minimum requirements so that people will filter themselves prior to putting in the effort to create some impressive application. Ideally you would have such a test later in the process so there is some investment on both sides. First pass filtering can be done with fizzbuzz-esque 5 minute exercises.
GPL is great for certain types of products, however, infrastructure types of projects aren't one of them.

I haven't been marketing at all, and I just recently finished the first stable release, so the jury is still out on whether this is all a good idea or not!

The docs are based on ReadTheDocs, but settled on a single file layout instead of having multiple pages.
> No, what you suggest is counter intuitive and should never pass a code review.

You're assertion is that it's counter-intuitive to use the database's ability to encode a lack of information to denote a lack of knowledge about the information, and should only be used to denote the information does not universally exist? And additionally that this is so well accepted that to do otherwise would not be accepted by any peers?

If so, that's a fairly bold assertion to make when you haven't provided any any evidence or reasoning to back it up.
I think you meant “Hanlon's razor”[1].

This doesn't mean they aren't important though. In academia (not CS), but we use a lot of what's covered in the op MIT guide.

I don't know if this gives an edge at all, and it's certainly 100x less important than soft skills, but there has to be some advantage to knowing how to pull a git repository or how to extract text matches from the command line without having to download or use an external application.
This is interesting with regard to granularity of tracing human movement and interactions, privacy issues aside. Useful for analyzing such a public health issue.
Wow. This is what I’d expect from a large company. Full 3D representations with super smooth object recognition. Tesla’s looks like a student project compared to that.

I took a Unix half credit course randomly where you basically did bash scripting, a huge bunch of command line tools and then eventually use all that to build your own linux distribution. I swear I learned more in the half credit class, and way more if you try to count it as useful information, than 90% of my other CS courses.

Edit: And since this got some traction, here is the current version of the class: https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis191/ it looks pretty similar to what I took but they added a little bit of Python.
A Survey on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI): Towards Medical XAI [pdf]
I wonder how different things would be if cs departments had a special lab without mice.
I just graduated from University of Colorado Boulder this last semester with a CS degree, and am glad to say that this was a required course. It was a 3000 level course called Software Development that also incorporated a long form group project for team cooperation skills. It definitely helped me to improve my efficiency and organization when working on projects. Teaching thoughtfulness in designing not only a solution, but a work environment, is an important lesson.
The United States has the following states that have a town named Wales:

Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Dakota, Utah, and Wisconsin.

If she met him in the States, it is entirely reasonable for him to first ask her what state she's from.
I think what's happening is that motivated individuals learn these things by doing, sometimes starting at an early age. Teaching these topics explicitly will probably not automatically turn students into 10x hackers; however it might help some. I know I cry a little on the inside any time I have to explain grep to an engineer that has been around for more than a year.
And further, it calls into question the ~FBI report's claim that the file was "end-to-end encrypted", so they couldn't inspect it.

And as others note, if the key had been deleted, they should have said that it had.
I don't think any of the management of that company respects its fans.
Takes 16 years to train a human to learn driving, and badly at that. We have a vastly larger & superior neutral net, specialized training support, swivel mounted cameras, and probably a lot more than we yet realize.

People get upset over this kind of cases but not being able to access a business is as discriminatory as the business shutting the door to someone because there's something the business does not like about that person. Discrimination is discrimination.

The ADA act has made a huge difference in people's lives since it's passage in the '90s. We see these stories over and over which, is important to keep in mind, the exception not the rule. The majority of buildings are built ADA compliant now and most older buildings can be modified relatively inexpensively.

Yes, this was the exception but even, in this case, the business was merged with another local building.

One thing people always forget is that we all get old and many of us will end up with mobility limitations and we will be glad that a business is ADA compliant and we have the ability to access it.
