"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."

Even if, by asking this, you expose what you believe is hypocrisy on the part of the parent post, you'd still need to have an entire conversation to establish that the hiring practices of all companies should be the same as the hiring practices of the NBA. It would be much quicker to express your concerns directly, instead of simply pointing at other, barely related analogies.
I've got the math PhD, and the job that requires a mix of math & programming. Living the dream, right? Except, my employer kinda stinks (and it's a startup, so our future is far from certain), so I've always got an eye on job listings. Only, I'm not in ML so the only real openings that I see that I'm "generically" qualified for are in quantitative finance. I don't like cocaine, so that one's out too (sorry for the broad brush, quants, but I've met a few too many coked-up brogrammers in your field). If all I had was a bachelors, maybe I'd go for actuarial work, but that would mean ditching my programming skills.

I'm older, and stuck living in an expensive metropolitan area due to family stuff. I feel stuck in a job that I'm not satisfied with. I expected that having a PhD would be a boon, but what I'm finding is that it's hard to find a good job that actually depends on the PhD -- it feels like an albatross, but I can't exactly hide it because that would be a decade-wide hole in my employment record.

Are hotels happy with delivery people hanging around their lobbies with smelly hot food? I imagine they'd ask you to not do that and it'd be awkward.
Yes we did, but most often you could just look at the delivery map and see what deliveries would go together. Optimization won't tell you which orders were not complete (waiting on an item that needed to be remade or was made wrong, etc.) and many times just eyeing the map and knowing the delivery area was all that was needed. Drivers also knew which shortcuts would be beneficial to use that the optimization would not know. The software at the time also would not be able to factor current traffic in the equation. It's been a while, maybe they do now, I don't know, I've left for greener pastures.
Unless you're using user namespaces (which this doesn't) then root inside a container is equal to root outside the container. You don't even need access to /dev, because the container process could just mknod(2) any device and access it with full permissions.

This is only possible in this example because the container has the full capability set (including CAP_MKNOD) and the devices cgroup hasn't been configured to restrict device access. Real container runtimes always restrict device creation by default, and usually don't allow CAP_MKNOD by default.

I know some people who just provides the gate code in the delivery instructions that UPS and FedEx uses to open the gate. This is becoming more necessary in my experience because of Amazon using gig workers for delivery.

Hasn't been an issue.
Because softer shadows add to the realism, so they would have used them if they had invented a new efficient ray tracing method! Look at 5:12 in the video. The shadows are way too sharp. It's probably good old shadow mapping for the first bounce and then screen space(?) global illumination.
I think you haven't been following supply chain news recently. Or what UN says. There's absolutely going to be famine in less developed countries, and much higher food prices and lower variety in the coming months in developed countries.
Your later point is the one that concerns me. Organizations like governments have issues where the spirit of the law is valued over the letter due to inertial restrictions over revising the law - when it comes to private corporations the ability to restructure rules remains unless it's explicitly surrendered. In these cases keeping the set of rules exposed to the public (and even demoing changes) can allow revisions to those rules to increase their accuracy.

And, when you get right down to it, any rule that isn't well structured will be exploited by bad actors, people looking to roll out malicious browser extensions have a strong motivation to try and discover those rules with a high level of accuracy by testing them - only the good actors remain uninformed.
Oh how I wish Python had just sucked it up at 3.0 and eaten the performance hit for removing the GIL.

Have to respectfully disagree here...we tried protonmail for ages and it wasn't good. Wet feature adding it sounds like you got lucky but we ask for several features over the course of a year - ranging from simple things such as HTML signatures (that they fully support, they just hide the button on their editor) to more enterprisey user management 2fa enforcement style features and it just didn't hold up in the slightest. No features got added and we ended up going back to o365..for a personal email it's ok though but I wouldn't tout them as responsive to feature requests as this wasn't our experience at all. We were a sma the on their visionary package if that makes a difference.
I looked at unity and unreal 4 before starting to learn an engine. Unreal is great, but the massive amount of tutorials and documentation is why I started with unity. I really hope unreal 5 can do something similar in the distant future. Before unreal 6 is released.

"if the simulation is accurate, then the person you're simulating is conscious"

Not necessarily. You can't treat a human as a black box, and then use inputs and outputs to definitively draw conclusions about what's going on inside the black box.

You could potentially have two black boxes that give identical outputs for the same inputs, yet have completely different mechanisms inside for arriving at those outputs. For example, say you have someone who's very good at arithmetic able to multiply two numbers. You put him inside one black box and a pocket calculator inside another. You give each box two numbers and they both output the product. Both black boxes will give you identical outputs for any given input. You know the box with the person inside is conscious, but this is not enough information to conclude the other black box is conscious.

"Consciousness" is not a descriptor of the outputs of a system. Consciousness is a descriptor of how it processes the inputs to arrive at the outputs.

There is a thought experiment in psychology related to the subject called the p-zombie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie. "Such a zombie would be indistinguishable from a normal human being but lack conscious experience, qualia, or sentience. For example, if a philosophical zombie were poked with a sharp object it would not inwardly feel any pain, yet it would outwardly behave exactly as if it did feel pain." You're basically arguing that it's impossible for a p-zombie to exist. That is the view some people hold, but arguing for that case is a lot more complex than simply saying its a tautology

I can do this with fastmail, though fastmail is a subscription (like $5/month? IIRC, mine auto renews every 2 years so not sure). I have my primary email setup as <firstname>@<lastname>.org. If you set your dns records correctly with them, that allows you to use without any ahead of time setup <randomtag>@<firstname>.<lastname>.org. Setting a different tag where I have <firstname> is can be done too, but you need to set those up individually.

replying to emails, I can change <randomtag> to whatever I want.

They also offer random domains that you can setup burners under, though that does involve some ahead of time setup.
I have a lot I experience navigating Microsoft's licensing for small businesses. I have a Customer who needed Windows 10 LTSC for some PCs running expensive laboratory instruments as a recent example of needing to do just what you're looking for.

You can acquire a permanent license for Windows 10 LTSC through Microsoft's Open Business licensing program. There is a minimum initial purchase quantity of 5 SKUs, but any competent reseller will just pad your order with the lowest-price-in-the-catalog SKU to get you up to that minimum.

The Open License Agreement itself expires in two years, meaning that you're subject to the minimum 5 SKU purchase to start a new one at the end of 2 years. During the term of the Agreement you can purchase licenses piecemeal. Regardless of the Agreement's term the software you license thru the program is perpetually licensed.

This won't make it any cheaper, though. Windows 10 LTSC is ridiculously expensive, to me, for what it is. Licenses acquired through this program are transferable to new hardware, at least. That's why I used it a lot over the years. Buying Office and transferring it to a new PC once in the useful life ended up being a cost savings over buying OEM Office with the original and replacement PCs.

It really doesn't. I would say that "unshare -mpf ; pivot_root" matches the most minimal definition of a container more accurately than joining a cgroup (it's an isolated system which can't directly interact with the host).

Otherwise you'd have to argue that configuring rlimits actually makes your shell a container, which is too much of a stretch (for me at least).
Can anybody tell me where the change will be? With [1] I've saved every apk with "play" in its name (Google Play Store, Google Play Music, Google Play services and Google Play Movies & TV). If the update happens, could I revert the changes by installing the extracted .apk files? Also, I've disabled the Play Store because my guess is that the Play Store will install the new API. After all, the Play Store also installs/updates regular apps. Can you tell my if my guess is correct?

I got the same notification yesterday morning for my own open-source extension HabitLab ( https://habitlab.stanford.edu/ ) - same vague request for "you're not using the minimal set of permissions" without mentioning what permissions they want me to stop using (HabitLab is already using the minimal set of permissions for the features it implements - any removal of permissions would have to be done at the expense of reduced functionality). Emailing just results in them sending me a link to the policy. So this is definitely not an isolated case.

Dinosaur Footprints on a Cave Ceiling
The lede seems somewhat buried here. The tech they spend most of their time talking about has more to do with development iteration than graphics. Not having to optimize LODs or light maps mean more time spent generating models and iterating on a scene. As with other kinds of software development, game dev quality is all about how quickly you can iterate. As for the rest, this demo says more about the PlayStation 5 than Unreal.

As a consumer, I'm expecting to see a graphics jump in the next generation of games (as you would expect) and some fun new lighting details (yo, RTX!), but not much beyond that. However, this will likely lower the cost of developing cinematic games like Uncharted or RDR.
Love the animations but they go by too fast. It would be nice if you could add a single step capability so the user could follow along at human pace.

Also, I wanted to see how you updated the bit strings in place and was surprised not to find anything special. It looks like you use nothing but puts statements, which, as I understand it, simply add a carriage return at the end of a string but how then does the cursor move back up to the first line? Can some explain the technique being used here?

I'm actually not sure if Switch has a shippable Vulkan back-end. They've been saying they have Vulkan support for years, but at least 2 years ago there was no Vulkan support to speak of.

Even if it is now finally supported, most of the game developers I know of are using the NVN backend.
It is ignorant of reality to expect a surfeit of recent antitrust cases, as those sort of cases are only made in the most egregious of violations, and long after the damage has been done. Such as around 1999, when the several states and the US Federal DOJ brought suit against Microsoft. Microsoft had been pulling anti-competitive moves for decades before, killing alternative operating systems like BEOS or OS2. The most recent related suit was brought up against the NFL for conspiring to violate the Sherman Act, but that was 10 years ago.
I’ve been thinking about the asymptotic cases in situations like this and the Roosevelt. I think if folks are monitored very closely for symptoms we might learn more about how it impacts people and what percentage of cases stay asymptotic.

I completely agree that you can't better a body of people by forcing it to modify its constituents into a defined range of racial/gender ratios (and it may even be the case that you will worsen it on average). However, there is another goal: To help the individuals who would not have been hired. Of course, there's an argument to be made that any harm you might do to the body would then ultimately harm the individuals you helped to be placed in it, but I tend to believe that these opposing forces balance out on the net good side for the individuals.

> What the Nordic counties do doesn't scale to the third largest country by population

Why does the absolute population number matter in this case? Whether you have 1 million people or 300 million, the viability of any tax scheme hinges on the relative proportions.

In any case, what Nordics actually do is tax everybody's salaries. Not just the rich, but also the middle class.
I use nordvpn that I purchased with a credit card. Before using it I would get notices from my ISP for pirating but not anymore.

As far as I'm concerned it just makes me not the lowest hanging fruit and that's good enough for me. Even if they wouldn't cut off my service from those notices I consider it worth $50 a yearfor peace of mind. Plus it comes in handy for getting around some geo restrictions.
I totally agree with your assessment.

I like the cleverness and simplicity of the bitcoin mining approach, but the tradeoff between "takes too long, damaging our signup flow" (where anything more than 5 seconds is likely to have a material impact) and "doesn't take long enough, making it too cheap for bots to proceed" may be quite tricky.

I usually blame nodejs. It came around and pushed out what little traction Erlang was gaining in the late 00s.
I'm so tired of this whole "xyz lang isn't a REAL lisp". First off, what's your definition of "real lisp", second off, who cares? What point are you trying to make? Is the language somehow less useful because it doesn't meet your arbitrary definition of what it means to be a "real" lisp? I imagine you sitting at home in a smoking jacket with some smug smirk typing this out.

Saying that a language isn't a "real lisp" because it doesn't use cons cells is like saying a map implemented using a red-black tree isn't a "real" map because it doesn't use an array of nodes.
