The criticism, then, should be directed at Oxbridge, and not at [almost] all other British universities which don't do this.

I went to Imperial College. "Work hard, play hard" was some kind of motto. Most people followed the first part, the second part was optional. There was more "play" at weekends, and less during the week, compared with my friends at other universities. Mostly, it meant focussing on work during the week to leave time at the weekend.

I remember two mentions of sport: when a friend turned out to be on the hockey C team, and when the student newspaper announced that we'd lost some traditional cup [1]. You can see just how little attention was given to the game by the number of spectators [2].

(It would help the UK if the drinking age for beer and wine were reduced to 16. People can then get too drunk and do silly stuff with some oversight from their parents, and be a bit more mature about it at university. See Denmark for a similar Northern European country with this.)

I don't know if that's true, around 14 I did emotionally connect to music ofc, for some reason I was into nu-metal at the time. From then on I've made several 180° turns and the music I listened to back then falls somewhere between cringy to kinda alright, depending on the song. For me it feels as my music taste is evolving the emotional connection is actually going up. Well perhaps 14 is the average but it's certainly not true for everyone, the tail can be pretty long.

Those developing vaccines are professionals and are going through all the necessary steps. Phase I human clinical trials are already 6-7 weeks in for the Moderna vaccine. By the time there’s enough vaccine for Phase III trials, I’ll be comfortable enough with the risk. Besides, by volunteering early, I’m doing a service to others. Any additional risk I’d be taking would be buying-down risks for others later, so I’d be happy.
Does anyone know what the easiest way to make those windows movable and resizable (dynamic in general) would be?

Great work, I love this interface style!

This is just moving the control flow to the end of the function right? Switch-case statements also have cyclomatic complexity, right?

I quit my job about 6 years ago. I had savings to last me 2 years.

At first I thought I was going to do freelance work, but the longer I didn't start doing that the more I didn't want to do it. So after a year or so of playing with new tech and starting several personal projects which didn't turn into viable businesses, I began making some money with a website.

Because that profitable website and others I built afterwards weren't actually that profitable, 2 years after I quit, I had to do some freelance work to not run out of money. I had to do 3 years of small freelance gigs while growing an online business. So for me it was 5 years before I could pay myself without having to sell my services.

Not knowing from the beginning what I really wanted to do cost me 5 years of, let's say, austerity. Never really had any financial problems during this time, but I also wasn't comfortable applying for loan to buy a house.

I don't want to offer any advice, just share a personal story which might be relevant.

I think the problem is who gets to determine what is essential. One man's essential activity is another man's superfluous activity.

Music is a great example. Sure we could do without it, but life is for the living. Experiences are not essential to the physical functions of life but without them life would quickly become depressing, at which point, what are we protecting?
If it was something that affected only those individuals, noone would care. The problem is, that someone else can be irresponsible, and you die because of that.
So this is how Children of Men becomes more of a documentary...
ACPI is powered by a Turing-complete programming language. It compiles to the ACPI Machine Language, which is an assembly language executed on the ACPI virtual machine, a.k.a. the ACPI interpreter. The power management actions are actually the result of executing the living code. The justification is that it enables a lot of flexibility to adopt ACPI on different types hardware, without the limitation of being purely a configuration file. Also, the complicated power management code can be operated by the OS kernel, without writing any specific driver or calling into BIOS.

Naturally its power faced a lot of criticisms. Technically, you can decide what your power button does based on the next digit of pi. This is why Mark Shuttleworth called ACPI a Trojan horse and Linus Torvalds called ACPI brain-damaged.

Broken power management is often the result of low code quality. In the Hackintosh community (and Linux to a less extent), discompiling the DSDT table and manually fixing all the compiler warnings and bugs in the code is a critical step to get proper power management running.

> Likewise, Steve Jobs saw hypercard as the future, wanting it to sync up online between people

Everything I've ever read about Hypercard indicates that the opposite is true: neither Jobs nor the company could "see" that Hypercard needed a true network component, nor could they even see the business case for it as time progressed.
Yes, the people who worship capitalism are baffling, because corporate tyranny eventually becomes indistinguishable from government tyranny. For instance, if Facebook and Google became so pervasive that they could censor everything that everyone says, then our constitutional rights don't mean anything. I respect people's perspective most of the time, but I disrespect people who think that private companies have a license to do anything they want because it just doesn't seem to be a well thought out idea.

Then there are those who suddenly talk like free market capitalists when it's convenient to their politics. I see this all the time with whomever the balance of power is favoring. 15 years ago, it was conservatives who excused private companies that did things that liberals didn't like, as long as those companies appeared to align with their values or were at least agnostic, and now you'll hear liberals who otherwise hate capitalism pull out the "private company" card when it suits their goals or is an affront to the other side.

I believe very few people are actually interested in the public good. Everyone claims they want to do things for the public good. In reality, I think they all want whatever goodies they think they can get by acting as toadies for their party of choice.

There ought to be a balance between freedom and regulation, but this is increasingly becoming a minority opinion.
Who runs and manages this service? The board looks good but it doesn't list the management team or any employees.
For now Sweden has slightly fewer deaths per capita than the UK, so their last minute change does not seem to have helped much. While I was and still am in favor of a harsher lockdown the Swedish strategy does not seem to perform that badly.

There are countries with harsh lockdown doing both doing way worse and way better, so other factors may matter more.
Okay, but that's sort of irrelevant, because the metadata of the DMs is still invasive. General Michael Hayden famously said, "We kill people based on metadata."
I mean. In all likelihood covid 19 will last at least 2 years(til successful vaccine)? Wouldn't it be likely that most countries populations cannot stay at home that long? Not even intermittently(like 2mths locked down every 6mths)? Whereas if the swedes dont overwhelm their hospitals they can go on like this for as long as they like?
Agreed, we want to remove the Hub thing altogether for normal users. We recycled the permissions system from something we were working on last year, and that is why we have it.

Hubs work well for schools (e.g. harvard.barbra.io), but doesn't feel very useful for individuals.
The Open Secret of Remote Work
It's hard to form an opinion on that case without knowing more about Pandremix. How many people did it help? Is the illness it treats worse than narcolepsy? How many people are wrongly prescribed it?

I also wonder what kind of study found such a tiny effect size. 1 in 60,000 would require a staggeringly powerful study to successfully link it to Pandremix.

Not saying you're wrong about any of that, and I suppose I could go research these questions myself. But based solely on what you wrote I don't think there's any way to tell if that decision was good or bad.
And Anders "debunked" imperials study because it was not yet peer reviewed[0]. While continuing with his "Scientific" gut feeling.

(No, I'm not making any of what I said up or being hyperbolic[1])

The serious lack of testing and fact that many doctors are saying they cannot attach COVID-19 as a cause of death unless it is a direct cause and has been tested for, give me pause to the numbers Sweden is putting out.[2] Since if you arrive to the hospital already dead then they will not "waste a test" on you confirming cause of death. I would much rather look at the Swedish death rate comparative to last year instead[3]

The Fremen Principle
I appreciate the minor insight provided by seeing a language where control structures can only happen upon function return. I've had to teach recursion to many beginning students, and I have a feeling that seeing something like the Chaos language would help the concept of recursion gel with them. I'm very unsure that the language itself is useful or good, but I was certainly delighted by that small bit of insight.

Maybe some unix pros here can tell me, why the occultist package manager not installed via sudo, but the language itself is? It seems like an unnecessary security risk to run sudo on a random download.
Can I decide what is essential to me and you decide what is essential to you? And then if there are not enough of me, maybe I have to pay more? And maybe if there are not enough of you, you pay more for those that provide those essentialities? Hm... This reminds me of something.
I remember interviewing candidates in 2008. Experience can be bad, experience can be irrelevant and employers can tell the difference between interest and desperation. I talked to more than one ex-Director/VP/CXO for entry level help desk roles. Some experienced candidates will do well but a non-trivial number of them will find themselves unemployed now and unemployed later.

All the answers (and discussion here) seems to take the title question as fact. My initial reaction was - and I should say at this point I'm neither from nor live in either country, and have no national pride or whatever to be wounded by who has the harder-core textbooks - are they actually? Or do they just cover different material, that the US curriculum happens to get to later?

It's a pity Quora doesn't have a question 'body', like StackExchange does for example, such that the asker could've given an example.

From the post:

> Even if root can't modify the on-disk kernel, root can just hot-patch the kernel and then make this persistent by dropping a binary that repeats the process on system boot.

Lockdown is intended as a mechanism to avoid that, by providing an optional policy that closes off interfaces that allow root to modify the kernel.

This isn't the case anymore. US Common Core Math lessons use word problems from the first grade onward.

I'm seeing a use case for individuals who are isolated and want something to care for. Give it big googly eyes and an old person name like Harold or something.

Legitimately, I could see people being super into that. They have to care for the Roomba by making sure it doesn't freak out because of shoelaces or the cliff you describe. Maybe it beeps and whistles.
It could mutate to become less deadly although I'm not sure what pressures would cause that. The Spanish flu got worse in the second wave, it killed many more otherwise healthy 25-35 year olds.

That doesn't explain the prevalence of "I WANT A HAIRCUT!" and "I WANT TO GOLF!" signs. The protests seem to mostly be "I want people to work for me", rather than "I want to work".
> If you believe that unwinding from Drop::drop is a good idea, enumerate the value this feature adds, its costs, and make a case about why this trade-off is worth it.

I don't believe it's a good idea, which I have repeated in this thread numerous times. You seem to keep implying that it's an often used and good idiom, and I keep saying that it's not, which is why it's not used. Most of your points are about unwinding generally, not unwinding from Drop. I think it's really confusing the issue here.

I don't really think this is productive. It seems we're in agreement about one thing, though I am very confused as to how. Let's just leave it at that.
Okay, I (and many others) may have misread your post then. Sorry!

It sounded like you were pointing this out because you agreed with the people disputing the seriousness of COVID. Rereading it I can see how you may have actually meant it.
Again, doesn't save a single person.
If that were true you'd be able to show it convincingly with COVID-19 demographic surveys. The fact this argues for an experimental treatment that could be hazardous (even fatal) without first having reviewed available demographic data or arguing for a study to obtain it makes me question the ethics of what they're proposing.

For example other studies have looked at this question and found nicotine to be a risk factor:

Since a long time ago. This is old news. iFrame sandboxing is now a two-way street, depending on configuration.

Embedding your conductive trails into a large non-conductive material helps, as does putting unrelated trails apart, and making them at the right size. Completely surrounding them with a ground plane helps too, but I have no idea how to include an antenna.
> Listening to new music has got to do with openness and as we age we tend to be less open to new experiences.

For me it has been the exact opposite, at least so far. When I was in my teens, electronic music was all I cared about, and stuff like Guns N' Roses, Nirvana and whatnot that the other kids were listening to was just crap.

As time went on I discovered I've shed my prejudice, and will listen to most things with an open mind. As such my collection now spans a lot of genres.

I suggest one more task before quitting: double check that you'll be well-situated for actually getting a job you'll enjoy when you return to working.

For example:

- If you wish to continue working in Scala and living in London, check the local job market for that skillset. Is demand growing or shrinking?

- Are London's Scala-friendly employers likely to be hiring in 6 months considering factors like covid-19's impact on the economy?

- Suppose that in 6 months, it turns out that no attractive Scala-in-London jobs are available. Can you easily move to another region where they're more abundant? Is there another language / stack in which you are (or can be) proficient and lets you get an attractive job in London?

i think the downside to this would simply be that up & coming artists would be paid near 0. i'm not sure how spread out the money is on spotify and the rest, but i'm guessing if it's listen based payments (similar to youtube view based payments), then there will be an extremely disproportional amount of people getting pennies and other labels getting millions upon millions. although, maybe that's how it is today, regardless?

I mean I use vs code daily and don't think it's any less "snappy" than a native app. Quite the opposite really, Chromium's rendering engine is faster than most native cross platform toolkits. The memory consumption doesn't bother me either or come anywhere close to bottlenecking me, because I'm a professional using professional hardware.

Sublime is also pretty featureless compared to VSCode as well.
great to see the technology updates, and in this new world of way more video calls definitely more ppl will be using it just as an option on their phone (don't need to get into the marketing problems) --
what holds me back from using it is the requirement to use my phone number as the login. To me the phone number has hardly anything to do with the device and I'd rather just keep using my google account like all other apps.....

The legal argument is weak, and the disingenuous way he discusses it makes me question the veracity of his other points. The national government could 'strongly suggest' a lockdown and most people would comply willingly.
I agree, it's not impossible for a storage provider to also provide trustworthy E2EE. I trust some of these providers as well.

It's just kind of a gut feeling that centralization of power (i.e. possession of the data and knowledge about and control of the encryption mechanism) makes such a service a more attractive target to compromise.

Of course, if you really wanted to get the data of a specific person all you'd have to compromise is the encryption funnel regardless of where the data is stored. But I'm thinking, distributing control over the storage and the encryption is gonna make it a lot harder to do that because there's no single party that knows about both other than you.

Looks pretty much the same as stitching DOM elements to me, and various runtime modifications in HTML-based frameworks remind me of the "put widget into container" code style of Tk. There's even a CSS-based styling support for Qt.

The main difference is that there is easy way to make a visual designer for the QT .ui files, so it's actually even easier to write GUI apps there.

And DOM based frameworks do nothing to ease of use, ease of navigation, or pretty much anything done by end user*. They make it easier on making portable GUI, yes, but that's on developer side, and with significant costs associated to everything, including reputation of the application and developer.
Sure, but they will struggle to find investors to sell the ISAs to unless they can show people actually go on to get jobs. So the end result is the same.
