More resources ARE being shifted to those "practical" (read: revenue-generating) programs, to the detriment of students. The purpose of higher education is edification, not securing directly applicable job skills - that's what trade schools are for. Being able to read, write, interpret and communicate well are just as important to a software developer than the textbook CS curriculum.

It's only because of the harsh economic reality of America's university system that such a prospect is even thinkable.

I'm not saying I want to just "pause" and play video games for a year, though I'll grant that's true of some of my peers. Rather, I'm saying it makes sense for many people my age to make changes to their up-coming year. I'd continue working as a developer, continue with non-profit work, and keep working on side projects to build skills. I've been working through some interesting books (Boneh and Shoup's crypto book and Crafting Interpreters) and learning a great deal outside the rigor of any formal class.

Essentially, while I get why colleges and politicians would want students to go about business as usual, it seems it benefits them rather than me. I'm going to college for two things: research and connections. Both of these are greatly impeded by virtual-only learning. Research is possible in CS but much harder, especially if one doesn't already know the professor. And it seems impossible to form relationships over videochat only.
What I think gets missed here is that there could be a hidden requirement you don't know about. Were the owners using this invoicing system for internal accounting as well? Making that clear could have helped even more people do their jobs well.

These look like hearing aids to me.
The author's not at Princeton, so why is he even offering an opinion? This is a bunch of made up BS anyway. Princeton faculty aren't going to be okay with dozens of extra students attending their lectures (there are room capacity constraints). They're sure as heck not going to grade essays, hold office hours, and answer email inquiries from a few dozen random individuals that decided to stroll into the class.

He's basically saying there's no need to buy food because you can eat free samples at the grocery store. He also just happens to be the author of a "contrarian" book arguing that college is worthless. It's purely a coincidence that he's posting misinformation on the same topic - making claims about a university where he doesn't work - in one of the most widely read news outlets.

Not exactly true. Moderna, and several others who are leading the vaccine race right now are out front because they had viable SARS and MERS vaccines but no where to test it other than in animal models.

Coronaviruses are easy to vaccinate against. They mutate very slowly. There’s just not a viable business model for them when the symptoms are so mild and treatments are available cheaply over-the-counter.
Mixin's where a bad idea as well, they where basically just multi-inheritance lite. In all honestly I have never seen a mixin accomplish something that could not be accomplished by single inheritance and wrapping a private instance that contains the functionality one want's from the mixin. Sure it's a little more boilerplate, but it's understandable, uncomplicated and none-magic boilerplate. I am not down on Hooks per-say but I am skeptical of magic and hidden effects caused by code outside of the visible flow of code. Sometimes the magic is awesome but sometimes it's just not worth the hassle.

A Range is something that implements one or more interfaces depending on its properties and guarantees. So in order to name a Range that way you'd first have to create interfaces for all possible guarantees. That doesn't sound practical. It's analogous to C++ containers implementing common concepts without deriving from corresponding interfaces.

Hey all; wrote this with Feng Zhang, Jason Kelly, and Jay Shendure. The argument largely is already technology in place that will scale for mass screenings for bringing people back to work. To make it happen, we believe it will require separating clinical testing from mass screenings, allowing us to clear many of the logistical and regulatory barriers standing in the way.

I feel like we're not reading the same paper. The EFail paper I'm reading has a prominent chart showing which implementations it was possible to break the MDC in, and a section detailing how the MDC can be straightforwardly stripped off messages.

We may not need a vaccine. This was about gene deletions as opposed to mutations. A while back there was an analysis of what each gene coded for. A number of them seemed to suppress natural responses to infection, so it seemed obvious that a less deadly version was just a few deletions away.

If infectiosness could be maintained while reducing death rate (a big if) then you'd have a naturally spreading vaccine. Theoretically we only need to quarantine the severe cases and let it evolve to a cold.

I briefly worked for a competitor of Ampyx.

I love the idea, but given that it took decades to scale traditional wind turbines which are much simpler by design to powers in the range of MW, I can't see this happening.

These systems are insanely complex, you need tethers, winches, a drone that flies 24/7 and can safely and autonomously start and land in many weather conditions. It also looks like google gave up on Makani, which had airborne generators.

Obviously a lockdown can cause the number of cases to go down. There's no mystery here. There are many countries doing the same.

Yes, it is "supposed" to flatten the curve always keeping some manageable number of people infected. So if you reduce the number of cases any further you are doing it wrong; because no, you won't extinguish the virus, you'll only prolong the lockdown.
Your description of Ansible makes me think of the Apache Ant build system. James Duncan Davidson's post mortem was illuminating. He never intended to create executable XML scripting.

You refer to "Andrew's stance on tabs" without being specific or providing a reference, so I wend digging for more details in the language FAQ.

From the reference I found[1], Andrew's stance is:
The current zig tooling forces spaces instead of tabs because the tooling for the language is not yet complete. The self hosted compiler (which the community will start using just as soon as it's ready) already does accept both tabs and spaces.

So, I'm not able to understand your complaint at all. Perhaps you could you elaborate, provide a reference, or soften your stance?

But it is also important to remember that different people will have different psychological responses to those different styles.

It's more than just the in-group vs get-off-my-lawn, but individual, regional, ethnic, and language backgrounds come into play.

For example, a self-service product was routinely abbreviated "SS", but a Dutch colleague would never use the abbreviation (WWII history).

What you find psychologically distant, others may find comfortingly structured. Rather than be liberating, lack of capitalization and punctuation my be chaotic and imprecise.

The opacity of contemporary humanities texts is overstated. Yes, the general academic style tends to be verbose and baroque. But it bespeaks a certain hubris when a layman to a given field claims an absence of meaning to its work. The topics being discussed are often technical and by virtue of their intended audience (peer scholars) presuppose vast amounts of preliminary knowledge.
> can any current student tell me if y'all are getting refunded for room and board, at least partially

To my knowledge, all colleges/universities are refunding room and board for the times campus is closed. Legally I don't think there's an option.

"Good enough" is a sliding window when it comes to cameras.

Would I like my phone camera to be good enough to take pictures I can blow up and put on the wall? Yes, and I'm willing to pay a little bit for that.

OTOH most other features? Nah, they were settled some time ago. So long as there is enough processing power (there is) and storage (there is this too), the screen is shiny enough (last few handset gens from most vendors have been), connectivity is good enough (we're how many years into 4G?) then really the camera is the only feature I'm interested in seeing improve. Android or iPhone. Maybe the battery life too.

Webpack is somewhat of a black box for most developers. Tools like “create-react-app” abstract most of the bundler functionality away. I did some research into it and began building my own light-weight web bundler to understand more about what it entails.
There does seem to be a fundamental misunderstanding about how we are tackling this pandemic. We are not trying to prevent infection because we don't want any new infections. We are only trying to keep the rate of new infections low enough as to not overwhelm healthcare capacity. More people getting infected everyday is part of the plan.

In many parts of the US it is time to start cautiously reopening more parts of the economy, exactly as is occurring now in a dozen European countries. The main impediment to that is our testing rate, which still lags other Western nations that are easing lockdowns.
I'm not an ethicist, but I would be wary of the people "preemptively volunteering".

While the majority might have purely altruistic reasons, others could be dealing with mental illnesses that lead them to inappropriate action.

In the same way that there are older people saying things like "I'm willing to take my chances so that young people's jobs/lives/economy aren't destroyed" there are highly likely to be people offering to be guinea pigs for reasons that should ethically exclude them.

By lowering the risk to the absolute maximum level possible, as suggested by the OP, it could be possible to have a challenge trial within ethical boundaries.

This is more than "oh regulation is about CYA and that's what's holding us up", this is about "we don't kill or injure people in medical research, even if others might be saved."
The first three points are something that crops up in any moderately used library/framework, one way or another. Seemed a little bit like nitpicking.

The last two, now, do look like they can turn into serious problems (and a lot of confusing code) if one isn't careful.

Then again, I write this as someone who mostly uses, and vastly prefers, Vue so it's not like I'm an authority on react.

No, I’m not taking the position that any business deserves to close due to an extreme scenario. My position is that it’s absolutely normal for the business owner to shoulder that risk - 1/5 of small businesses fail in the first five years, right? So the whole idea of donating money to save a business is a illogical when they are expected to fail.

I’m very simply taking the position that donating to for-profit businesses is almost never a noble cause, even if it is a “mom and pop,” and that I’m confused why people are doing this when they should be more worried about their own finances, worried about their own job security, etc.
With all respect to you, I think your responses are just taking us down a lot of tangents to my original point (I’ve admittedly followed you down that rabbit hole). I can’t find in your responses where you directly address why someone should donate to a for-profit business, especially when these donation funds are often managed by the owner.

The root question is this: why should an individual donate to any particular small business at this time? How would donations have any chance of rescuing a business compared to a fully operational business? Why would anyone donate to the business ownership class over something like a local food bank or even just directly giving money to their unemployed friends and family?

And despite your explanations of how the restaurant industry works, I still don’t think the story adds up. I don’t think the city is knocking down doors for tax money. Businesses don’t pay taxes on losses. I don’t think commercial landlords expect to get paid right now and I don’t think they’re evicting just yet when there’s no business to replace the evicted. They have incentive to negotiate. I don’t think restaurants have to pay suppliers for supplies they aren’t getting. And they certainly don’t have any obligation to pay their 100% hourly tip-supported staff.
In the US they tried the just stay apart message before the stay at home orders and it wasn't working, people still crowded onto beaches in Florida over spring break and into concerts and restaurants all over the country. Ideally yes you'd just say stay apart from people and hand out masks which were getting sold out in a lot of places.

Without ordering places closed there's too much incentive for businesses to fudge and force their employees to come to work. Don't forget there were runs and shortages of masks so service industry employees wouldn't have complete reliable access to simple masks.

> the mechanism of spread can be crudely described as spitting into each others’ mouths

Somewhat true but coughing etc makes loads of the tiny particles that can carry the virus and they can linger and spread.

There's a lot that could have been done better but it requires a level of coordination and action the US isn't super great at, both in general and right now in particular..
While we can all relate to the author's depressing anecdote about his parents' small Italian restaurant, I wouldn't call the plans to reopen businesses in some places a "pyramid scheme," which implies malevolent intention. A better explanation is provided by Hanlon's Razor:

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."[a]

Everyone -- from the OP's parents to small-time bankers to local politicians to Fortune 500 executives to federal officials -- is trying to figure out how best to cope with this once-in-a-century natural disaster so that we can come out of it with people, institutions, and economies as intact as possible.

No one sane would want a breakdown of the existing societal, political, and economic order.
