> I think part of it is there is no scene for music any more?

There are plenty of music scenes, but I do think they are not as big and influential on overall youth culture anymore.

What subcultures revolve around changes over time and we might have had an oddity in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were the subject was primarily the music genres that evolved during that time? When I was a teenager, pretty much everyone that was in a scene, associated themselves strongly to one music genre with basically no overlap. You were either into Techno, Metal, Hip Hop, Goth or Punk and the life/fashion styles that come with it.

But when I asked my mother, who was a teenager partying hard in the 60s/70s when bands definitely were big on the radio, what the subcultures revolved around, from her perspective it wasn't music, but political and socio-economical stances. For example hippies: Music definitively played a big role in that scene and many iconic songs came from it, but it was not the main thing the scene was about.

And I think it could be the same thing these days. Music is still important to people and evokes a lot of emotions, but it is not the main thing the youth cultures are build around.

This was mostly a cost comparison I wanted to show, as the solutions of rolling your own set up at home vs a cloud set up are definitely very different.

At 10TB, you're paying $600/year on B2, a price at which you could outright buy two 10TB drives and stick them in a larger NAS setup with ZFS or a simpler RAID-1 array.
The classic answer to this question is that "math was cheap."

The Soviet Union was comparatively poor to the United States, so you create advantages where you can for the least investment. Math and national security are closely linked, aerodynamics, radio communication/RADAR, encryptions, etc. investment in rigor payed them dividends.
Which might or might not be a good idea. When I'm writing code at my desk the faster it builds the better. I just need my unit tests to finish and they are small. When it the same code running on my embedded system with lots of data being thrown at it in real time and the cpu load is near (sometimes over) 100% I'll take every optimization of the final code I can get no matter how long it takes to build.

It would be nice if a gcc replacement compiler made speed of building code the goal. I'll even accept speed of building the compiler after it was compiled with gcc (clang, msvc...) as the benchmark if that is faster.

In a dutch auction, latency shouldn't matter at all. You can take bids in advance up to a deadline, or you can do multiple rounds of bidding.

Yes, you think guns when you think Texas but I think the crown actually goes to Kennesaw county Georgia where every head of household in the city limits is required to have and maintain a firearm.

When it comes to stupid lawsuits I give the crown to New York City where they have tried to claim copyright on the shape of the skyline, the Times Square businesses have sued movie studios for digitally changing pictures of Times Square in movies, and the New York City Subway thinks those little circles with the train letters are their intellectual property and they send out nastygrams to other people using circles with numbers and letters in them. I’m surprised the latter hasn’t started a two ocean war over the windows dingbats font ;)

Does it matter that people can(not) get married? It is just a contract and a festivity. If you plan for something big, and it gets cancelled, that does suck, but all kind of things get/got cancelled. There are much worse problems. People became and become homeless, unemployed, ill.
I'd estimate that most of my time interacting with SCM (I use perforce) is spent looking at history and diffing/merging, rather than checking out/creating branches. Checking out is so simple that it doesn't matter whether you use a GUI or not.
I've never been in the position of taking VC funding, and I don't expect to be in my life, but if I were, I don't think I would. It seems to be a recipe for destroying your company ~5 years down the line. Perhaps the early founders get out with a bunch of money, and maybe that's the point, but I just don't think I'd want to do that to my employees and the people who came to depend on my company. If you don't have a sustainable business model from day 1, you've already lost, haven't you?
I suspect that there's much more of us here in the comments in general than you would recognize. As well as all other post-soviet math-schoolers. It's exactly the kind of education and attitude that makes a career of a senior engineer at FAANG or CTO at a VC-backed startup not only easy in a technical sense, but also a perfect cultural fit.
Our environment is almost entirely virtualized, so yes, extremely sequential. Each host has 2 or more 10Gbps NICs. So starting, suspending, moving, snapshoting and cloning a VM shows the limits in both. Our SAN is 4 years old and has tiered storage (10k SAS mainline HDDs and high-write SAS SSDs). We use cheaper SSDs in some instances. But there is a performance difference of 15%-25% between SAS and SATA and that can't be ignored.
This author is asserting 5 years of lockdown but gives no reasons why specifically 5 years. They talk about the possibility of no vaccine working and herd immunity not working if the immune window is too small, etc. But how does that equate to 5 years of lockdown? Why 5 years and not just say indefinitely then? Am I missing something?
Umm..the whole actual development workflow i guess.

Agreed I think some hybrid is the answer. As a CLI user I've tried to get used to git GUIs several times and keep going back to the command line because I always get the feeling like I am not 100% sure what it's doing or going to do. I also find it annoying to have to understand yet another set of primitives / keyboard shortcuts etc., when I've already got git's.

I would love GUI tools to complement the command line, instead of replacing it. Already I use the CLI 95% of the time, and launch gitk for that 5% when I really need to see the commit tree graphically. Usually before a merge is the only time I do this.

I wonder if that's a way forward.. a graphical equivalent of "tab completion" when you are trying to write out a command. Instead of a GUI that tries to make git "simpler" by hiding the command-line, how about something that takes the git command you are already trying to write, and helps you write it, e.g. by showing you results of a dry-run on the fly.
Oh, the wording is all mine, inferred from this fairly thin set of news reports. But:

- radical: doesn't get much more radical than an armed uprising

- indigenous: they're Purepecha. This is very important. While they're Mexican nationals, and would be called Mexican by Americans, they're not of Spanish descent. They're descendents of a tribe unconquered by the Aztecs. Racial discrimination against people of indigenous descent is common all over Latin America.

- feminist: all the news coverage points out that the initial uprising was initiated by women.

- anti-colonial: outsiders of a different ethnic background coming onto traditional tribal land to steal natural resources? With the collusion of the police? Sounds pretty colonial to me.

- self-organising: found a bit more on this; https://elenemigocomun.net/2018/08/cheran-names-government/ ; https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/after-long-fight-self-go...

It's crucial to being exempted from normal politics such as elections. "arguing before the courts that there were provisions in Mexican law that permit indigenous communities a form of self-government based on their customs"; sounds analogous to the semi-autonomy of Indian reservations in the US.

>> "set of family relationships embedded in the matriarchy running the town"

So it looks like I overstated this a lot, but if you refer to the NBCnews article above it's a "council of elders". And they don't have parties? Family is a party you're born into. It's more or less the default arrangement of pre-bureaucratic politics. It's hard to avoid even in modern states. Add up all someone's in-laws and second cousins and it's easy to get to hundreds of people, which goes a long way in a community of 20,000.

BBC: "Most people who live in Cheran are from the town. Social mores dictate that locals marry locals - there are very few outsiders here. Families are large, and they are close. Everyone knows everyone else. And that is the foundation of the town's unity."

NBC: "Patricia Hernández, a taco vendor and mother of four, accepted the challenge to be part of their government when her neighbors chose her to represent their fogata. She is now one of four women who will govern Cherán for the next three years as part of the twelve-person council known as K'eri Jánaskakua.

"Before the government didn't take us [women] into account, until we were the ones who started this new government seven years ago," said Hernández to NBC News. "We said 'Ya Basta!', (Enough!) to put an end to this violence."

(more feminism! with machetes!)

It doesn't "suddenly occur", it was always there, it just took a lot of adversity to mobilize it to the level of armed self-government.

As a fellow Slovenian, former student and now someone who's spent years professionally in academia, let me try to show your experience from a different perspective. I don't know anything about your professor except the anecdote you shared, so I'm not defending them. I'm just trying to shine a different light "on the situation in which we are" that you as a student perhaps didn't (yet) have a chance to see. I'm also writing this because I feel like your view is pretty common among our students.

How our universities work is that as a researcher a part of your duty to the university is teaching students. Unfortunately, fields of research and study subjects in most cases aren't aligned. Nobody will be researching basic subjects that must be taught to the students, and on the other hand a very specialized field of research might not be taught to anything but a small post-graduate course. This means that often professors will end up teaching an undergraduate course that has next to nothing to do with their field of study. In the end, someone must be teaching those introductory courses and for some subjects being taught the university might not have any professional researchers at all.

Professors are researchers first and teachers second. This is most likely the reason why it appears that teaching is "something that one must endure until it's over". Your professor might be a brilliant world-class researcher in their field and they pursue it with passion, but they might be teaching e.g. linear algebra to undergraduates twice a week based on "what's written in the book" to keep their job. As it turns out, teaching and research are quite different skills and they often don't coincide. When they do, you get some really amazing professors and I'm sure you have some on your course as well.

It's not a perfect system, but I've spent enough time in foreign universities where research staff was on-the-hook all the time and liable to get fired if students weren't happy with them. It's such a constantly stressful environment that I was amazed that people managed to do any kind of research at all. In the end, it's a trade-off. You can't have a university without either top-end research or teaching and we might have chosen a slightly different trade-off between these two than the countries you seem to look up to.

Anyway, I hope I've given you a new way to look at things and I hope you will stay at your university for more than just to get the "take me seriously" papers.

I see a lot of articles that try to make FP look really easy. The majority of programmers have a lot of trouble figuring out how to figure out a typical FP program with its layers of nested functions. It isn't easy, which is why most code bases are not FP.
I don’t think so. The world at large will much rather take the death count than five years of mass unemployment, no one getting basic medical services and cancer screenings … and there is the whole part where economic output is sorta needed to pay for things (like rent and food for the 20%+ unemployed).

My own mother still needs urgent dental surgery. It’s going on two months now.

You hear the trite content free version of this tradeoff in people whining “you just want to protect your 401(k)”. Imagine after five years, all 401(k)s are wiped out, most hospitals are bankrupt for lack of running any profitable procedures, and the US is throwing together some emergency single-payer system ... but it is struggling with recruitment because there’s not enough tax revenue to get the budget to pay enough doctors.

Thinking is an important skill, which is why scientific experiments, essay writing and philosophy are so important. Integrating equations, not important.
Storage is suited for it though. Most data, and especially photos, stops being accessed after some time and could stop consume bandwidth and electricity given properly designed infrastructure. Not that there is even a need to keep it forever, removing data not accessed in say five years or a decade is likely to still meet realistic durability guarantees any organization could provide, if it ever comes to that, which might be the case once they run out of physical space. Because of that such service can be offered as a "forever" service as long as the rate of new payments is enough for running it. But this is also where it gets tricky, the price they are shooting for right now is crazy unrealistic, it's at least an order of magnitude higher than competitive range, so they won't have many customers who can multiply and won't be able to attract enough customers to sustain it.
In a popular democracy, it should never be shocking when the majority party in government receives support.

They couldn’t have become the majority without appealing to people’s opinions in the first place.
No idea why it would be 5 years. But a lockdown would not result in starvation. Why would it? We "only" lock down social life (bad enough with all kinds of negative impacts on people, society and economy), but the food supply won't brake down. Why would it? All necessary things will be kept open.

> It will be leaked if panic=unwind and if you use catch_panic.

An uncaught panic terminates the thread. If that's the main thread the process terminates, but on other threads it continues with leaked memory, even without `catch_unwind`.

> catch_panic is not used very much.

Are you sure about that? I'd expect most multi-threaded (web)servers to continue after a panic. Otherwise any bug causing a panic (common in my experience) would force a potentially expensive restart of the server.

I always had the impression that Russians are more serious. Also Americans have developed tons of expressions for every nuance of greasing the wheels for business and relationships. Russians are more straightforward.

So it is with the kids. I don’t think there was a lot of “participation trophies” and idea that “you’re a winner just for trying”. It was realistic. Women in Russia are told to look beautiful by their mothers, for example, and they are expected wear makeup and heels just going out to the store or to work. Imagine a US mother saying that.

STEM in Russia and China’s schools is wayyy more advanced than USA.

Not just in Moscow but every city center in every former Soviet republic. It’s one of the things the Communists really instilled early on after taking over backwaters (at the time) like Uzbekistan (along with equal rights for women, 95% literacy and electricity). Compare that to pre-revolutionary Cuba or Hawaii, for instance, that USA took over.

I think right around Sputnik time and the cold war, the US had a major STEM crisis and started trying to teach math more. But really, most of our brightest students are just imported - and they’re happy to come.

Gonna drop this one in there, from Dr Kaku, on a panel discussing this exact question:

Attack real problems on all flanks, but I don't think you can get an affirmative from Legal.

Do you have cryptographers on staff? The "technology as a contract" approach is to implement a homomorphic encryption technique to do your cross-site correlation without being able to unmask the individual who is using multiple sites.

That way you don't have to trust your users, customers, sysadmins, big-data people, LEO, OR creditors. Keep it as secret sauce, or even better, drop an open-source library on github to advance the state of privacy. I would like to be able to ask vendors, "why AREN'T you protecting users' privacy this way?".

Yeah, theres lots of great old music that it’s new at the same time. And it comes with the perspective of time, one has the ability to see how it aged. The most im impressed with is forgotten music that has aged very well and feels ever more relevant; that is music with essence. Sometimes despite being a bad recording it still moves the needle in the positive direction. In modern music the newness factor sometimes obscures the essence and one is not able to fully asses it at the present moment.

For anyone who has been laid off during an economic downturn, how much can career coaching help, and what does the coaching usually consist of?

Not trying to be negative (and Houzz' offer to keep benefits such as health insurance going through the end of July is a generous one for the U.S.) but I was a bit surprised by listing things which should either be A) "of course we'll do that" (such as network referrals) or B) may not make much of a difference to employees who have just been launched into the maw of a severe recession.
