To me, fundamentally the issue is one of alignment of incentives.

Right now, there are students who can come to Perdue who are looking for university as an "investment" in their own future: they want to spend $100k to get more than $100k back over their lifetime. But the fact is, some of those students are studying subjects which will never pay them back for their investment; and others will never make that money back no matter what subjects they study.

So the question is, what incentive does Perdue have with regard to these students, under the "unforgivable student loan" system?

1. From a pure short-term financial perspective, it has an incentive to get as many students in the program as possible.

2. From a reputational point of view, there may be some damage to having lots of students graduate without getting jobs

3. Perdue is made of human beings, many of whom actually have feelings and morals; those people feel much happier when their students' investment pays off, and feel much worse when their students' investments don't pay off.

And the point is, at the moment, for students in the category of people we're talking about, you have #1 fighting #2 and #3. That's always going to be an unstable system where things fluctuate between "terrible" and "not quite so terrible".

Consider the incentives in an ISA system. The incentives are now aligned: Perdue would have a vested interest in the success of their students after graduation: the more money their students make, the higher return they get (up to a point). If a student wants to come in and major in Underwater Basket Weaving, they can say, "Perhaps a degree in in Accounting or Education might be a better choice." And if they do offer Underwater Basket Weaving, they'll be sure to add in classes on the Economics of Underwater Basket Weaving, Advanced Basket Weaving Management, and so on, to make sure that those students are actually prepared to make money after they graduate.

Sorry, but this article starts off with an excellent example of why this is horrible:

val x: String = "hello"
String x = "hello"

The first line reads: "value X is of type String and contains hello"

The second line reads: "String x contains hello"

val and : are fluff and add nothing. Arguments about it being tougher to parse would have some merit if this wasn't all figured out almost 50 years ago.

I think you’re responding to a strawman rather than my comment, which was in a thread about developing for Macs being difficult on non-Apple hardware because they can’t run macOS and the “solution” being buying Apple hardware and not running macOS on it.
I forget if there’s a better way to describe it but usually if there’s going to be a failure, it’ll be at the beginning (unless you’re constantly updating software which does have some risk)

I’ve been positively suprised many times, guessing for these bangs as well, very often they tend to be exactly as one would expect, even for sites in my own native language: norwegian, there are bangs for the more niche sites as well.

When I want to look something up in the norwegian Wikipedia I do !wno, for english just !w or !wen (and if I for some reason unbeknownst would want search in another language, it would be just a language tag away), I was very happy to see bangs for both the online norwegian dictionaries I use (!naob and !norsk), and some of the nicher sites, though, maybe not quite so niche here in HN: !dfw (Dwarf Fortress Wiki), even !nhw (nethack), etc.

In the light of amelius's comment: Is the first promotion that relevant? If you learn faster by asking questions, you are a more skilled programmer much sooner. If your first employer doesn't honour that, you then have the skills to switch and earn according to your much higher skills at another company.
this is completely absurd. why is this posted and allowed here?
A lot of stuff is part in POSIX, but not all of that is available on every system. Also busybox configurations can vary a lot.
Delivery market is already spoiled by Uber eats etc. which act like gatekeepers and take a huge margin.
Also delivery timescales vary a lot. The worst are the ones claiming to ship from local warehouses and four weeks later you get an envelope from China. Basically they just con you on the wait period. But hey you can always go to a local shop and pay £20 for 16GB microSD card or USB cable.
everyone can only vote once

Does your registrar even check that? SV's doesn't even check if a given voter voted both precinct and absentee or if one voted in multiple precincts (e.g. prior and current neighborhood after a move to another precinct). They don't even check for existing registration in other precincts (let alone counties) unless the voter explicitly provides prior-address data.
Nothing about that is related to capitalism.

Bailouts are actually an example of government artificially affecting the market to support companies that would otherwise die.

Hacking Tool for HMR on Docker
Sometimes HMR tools don’t work quite right when using docker on some OS (OSX) with a mounted volume. You change a file and nothing happens, it doesn’t detect the change and no rebuild happens.

This hack-script will make sure your HMR tools (webpack, parcel, etc) sees that a file has been changed/created/deleted/etc.

It uses the command touch to update the file from inside the container helping the HMR tools to be aware of the update.

The issue with systemd is that it is developed in a similar way to traditional UNIX systems like Solaris, BSD etc.: the low-level user-space parts of the OS are developed as a single project with a coherent design vision, common configuration syntax, documentation, etc.

I just read the text a 2nd time and I disagree with you.

The point of the text is, that you have to define where to put the complexity:

If you are lucky, it lives in well-defined places.

Otherwise, it will be everywhere (obviously bad):

With nowhere to go, it has to roam everywhere in your system, both in your code and in people's heads.

My point, on the other hand, is that you should focus on good abstractions, which is just one more step into the direction of defining 'where the complexity should live'.

When defining the abstraction you focus on the practical use-cases so that it is as simple as possible but not simpler. The main task here is to find the right focus. In doubt, it might be better to use multiple different abstractions (e.g. if there are two distinct use-cases).

The goal is to find a construct where everything looks simple from the outside because the complexity is hidden by the abstraction.

> I think you're playing semantics here.

Where?

> The collective, nationalistic culture of China isn't a fact in dispute.

Really? If they are so collectivistic and nationalistic, how come there is two of them ( china and taiwan )?

> The fact that the West acts as a union of extremely disparate and unique nations

Extremely disparate and unique? It's pretty much a white western european club. If we are so different what is this borg-like idea of "western values"? There is nothing unique about "the West". Actually, "the West" is the antithesis of unique. We are borg-like in our insistence that everyone adopt "western values" - whatever nonsense that is.

> in league is not even remotely comparable to China's united national front.

I know. That's my point. The West is even a greater kind of collectivism. It's a higher form of collectivism which allows the West to rule "the Rest".

At a national level, the collectivism is pretty much the same. What makes the West unique is that have a higher form of collectivism. It's why "the West", not an individual country is attacking china. It's also why there is no "the East" backing/helping china.

The silliness about western individuality and eastern collectivism is a decades old trope not born out in reality - at an individual, national or supranational level.
I'm not working for LispWorks, but I use it since many years.

LispWorks is a relatively expensive commercial implementation of Common Lisp. There might be several reasons to buy it: cross platform GUI support (Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac), integrated IDE, various delivery options for applications, support for various hardware / operating systems, ... I personally also find the runtime system quite robust.

The iron law of wages was based, among other things, on Malthus' demographic theory. Modern economists are highly critical of it. Supply and demand are sufficient to explain the wages of cooks and dishwashers: anyone can be trained in a couple weeks to be a minimally competent cook or dishwasher. The labor supply is roughly equal to the number of people who need any kind of work.
That makes two. German start-ups managed to convince the government to set-up a 2 Bn € fund to bail out start-ups (that are defined how again?). The reasoning is that these companies are not eligible for other programs by virtue of not being financially stable enough to get bank loans. It's basically a VC / investor bail out. It would be rediculous if it wasn't so sad.

> If you can't tell which is which, then both are innocent under reasonable doubt.

Nope. X is still hosting infringing content (I doubt this would even be considered derivative and not simply the encrypted original), this just made the proof harder. But "it could theoretically have happened differently" is not "reasonable doubt" if this possibility is highly unlikely in face of all other evidence. A thief doesn't get out free because the thing "could have accidentally dropped into his bag".

You're demanding that the court, should only look at the tiny piece of the puzzle that you provide. They have no reason to do so.

In this case, I'd assume, instead of diving into the technicalities of the algorithm, they'd be more interested in the fact that the openly stated purpose of the whole system is to circumvent copyright.

I'm a software engineer with great passion to programming. I cofounded Solus a startup that does payment processing in Sudan, Africa.
With my startup i had to work in different positions and variety of domains (heck, even business development, procurement and marketing). I'm passionate about coding itself, that's probably why i preferred startup path over big corporates.

I do backend stuff mainly in GO, but i also maintain our android codebase, our POS code (in C), and our payment web portal (Angular). I'm good at managing scarce resources, see through the problems and deliver on time.
This is specific to tobacco: firstly that the tobacco leaves pick up trace amounts of polonium-210, and secondly that inhaling tobacco smoke concentrates the Po-210 into localised deposits within the lung. Because Po-210 is a short range alpha emitter, these deposits deliver a significant radiation dose to small areas of lung epithelium. This dose is believed to contribute to the carcinogenic effect of tobacco smoke.

Eating vegetables does not lead to tissue irradiation in this manner. You are not at risk from eating tomatoes (or other fruit and veg) whether or not they are fertilized with rock phosphate.
Yes sort of. This is the obvious that bothers many.

Of course there is also a deeper culture here. For instance that students in big name universities learn standard macro economics. And then when they come to the institutions this is their default mode of thinking, even though they don't directly benefit from this. But it might be hard to reach to top of many of these institutions as a contrarian, so longterm there is not much incentive to go against established norms.
Maybe it sounds good to you, but I'm assuming that if you have some economy of scale you are going to pay less than what the general population does. Also that should be the average between beef, chicken and tofu, and if you take that into account, it's crazy expensive...
