Yes, you would hope so in smaller, more specialised classes. However, in a ~200+ person class, you just won’t have that kind of relationship with each student. Additionally, this completely breaks the anonymous marking that many institutions strive for.
AP Calculus allows you to bring a graphing calculator, and one of the approved calculator was the TI Nspire CAS, which has a very sophisticated computer algebra system that can do a lot of the things wolfram alpha can - like calculating the antiderivative. So you might be overestimating how much advantage wolfram alpha can confer :)
I was using Ruby regularly circa 2001. It wasn't unknown in the West, as various magazines had pointed out this neat Smalltalk-like scripting language and the first version of the Pickaxe book was also published in 2001.
You lost me at "all to prevent people from buying too many boxes of decongestant at one time". Obviously, nobody --- including the government --- cares how much "decongestant" you need. The problem is that pseudoephedrine is extraordinarily close to methamphetamine and the meth synthesis process is trivial. You can't buy sudafed without an ID for the same reason that you can't buy codeine off the shelf.
Yes, but I think that's the point isn't it? Of course the game runs on a Linux server because it couldn't possibly run in a web page due to performance reasons. Hence the complaint about lag.

You either get lag from the network roundtrip or lag from the crap performance in a browser (or you choose to degrade the experience, e.g., by reducing graphics fidelity), but one way or another you're experiencing lag (or a compromised experience).

Ergo the same game implemented as a native app running locally is going to be better[1].

[1] At least technically. It could of course still be a rubbish game.
The fact that some countries are using test-and-trace effectively doesn't seem to be refuted by the fact that other countries are doing poorly. Are those countries also following South Korea's model? Do they have the medical and biotech resources of S. Korea and the US?
Or they just don't want to be Oppenheimer
Well, if you want to go that route, HN has a great many members who don't subscribe to that ideology, including many who are on the cutting edge of critiquing it (or at least closely follow those who are), including many who are physically in SV. It's complicated.

I think pirating is a serious issue in other countries (i.e mine), I practically never saw anyone actually pay for any office suite, adobe software and some offline games. All of them get pirated and very quickly too.
A big part of this browser creep was simply that there was friction and danger in native apps, but our demand for more kinds of apps was insatiable and the browser was able to soak up that demand. When you ran Windows 95, a misbehaved, even well-intentioned app could wreck your hard drive with relative ease. Most did not, but there are horror stories. And when you went to download it, well, nobody wanted all the clicks of downloading and installing. As ever, the average computer user is undisciplined and impatient. The market provided for this by pushing the browser as far as it could go, because it did text, forms and images and when you have those and a CGI script, you have an app.

But now we have gone full circle to the browser being the operating system, and unsurprisingly, it's really bad, being in the position of being a "terrarium" for sandboxing all kinds of software behind an API of some sort.

Nowadays we have the alternative models of the curated package manager/app store and more extensive virtualization techniques available. Last night I wanted to try an old Windows 3.1 game. It took a few hours to gather and configure everything but I eventually got DOSBox and Windows 3.11 for Workgroups installed and configured with all the drivers, and the game worked. But the experience of installing this antiquated software reminded me of how Windows itself was a solution to a related kind of compatibility problem: Every program on MS-DOS had ended up in the position of shipping drivers for everything - printer drivers, sound card drivers, SVGA drivers. The solution of Windows was to build a ton of APIs to hide the hardware, just like the browser hides the native APIs. And this solution is a kludge, but a productive one for the near term. It's premised on I/O being bespoken enough that it doesn't have a standard, but not so much so that it can't be addressed in some standardized form. And emulators take that thought in the other direction, adapting new, more capable I/O to old.

But I don't think more terrariums (new runtimes) are necessarily the productive way forward. This always comes down to basic theories in and around CS - digital signal processing, Turing completeness, structured programming, relational data. The runtime is a certain endpoint of data that formats to an I/O medium, but it develops the terrarium structure when we start accommodating all forms of media and saying "well, you can set it up in any configuration".
Just some fun with the English language:

If you don't ever plan on distributing your software you can save a _lot_ of time :)
As coronavirus testing expands, a new problem arises: Not enough people to test
The difference is you breaking consistency for your use cases, vs some product designer somewhere breaking consistency for all of their users for whatever reason without the end user having any say in it.

Pithily, the cost of a product designer’s novel portfolio piece is externalized onto their captive users.
The Space Force is now responsible for all DOD launches. However I believe that the payload itself still belongs to the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. Most of the people operating it may be "on loan" to the Space Force, but aren't actually members yet (I think there's only ~100 people so far in the Space Force)
The state has not become weaker but its power is usually used in different ways than before.

Remember, the age old debate of whether the state should let the free market operate, or regulate away market failure, with bitter debate on this for over a century. Neoliberalism breaks out of this framework altogether. It says that the job of the state is to actively force an unregulated market everywhere. This active roles means discouraging unions, being part of international free trade agreements, bailing out businesses, encouraging allowing monopolies, etc.

This is what the power of the state is used for today. Of course, the power is not unlimited, so in times of great need like today, we do get a temporary halt to economic activity.

Well I think you nailed it. Too bad this comment is hidden underneath a flagged comment!
As a student who took 3 AP tests this week, it holds up well. The main weapon CollegeBoard leveraged is that these exams were only 45 minutes long.

For example, AP Calculus had two questions: A 25-minute, and a 15-minute question, each with 9 or 10 parts. There simply just isn't enough time to Google anything. If you look at Google Trends data [0] you can see hilarious spikes in related terms during the exams, but if you didn't have a good handle on the material then you would just run of out time.

If governments are singletons, what are individuals? Maybe individuals are other objects? And now the individuals don't need to hold a reference to a government service object if they want to authenticate a message they get from another object. They just ask an identity provider object. But which one? Do individuals have a list of identity provider objects? But what if the sender is using another identity provider object they don't have? Ah! The message could contain a reference to an identity provider. But why should the receiving object trust it? Wouldn't it have to ask a government service whether the identity provider is to be trusted? No silly, we don't want a government reference! It could ask other individual objects whether they trust that identity provider object! Then cache the response? Help me out here, how does reputation work?

Seriously though, you're just moving the problem around. Adding complexity. I mean, does an identity provider object still respond to messages when it's entered bankruptcy proceedings? If you're going to use an analogy, find one that informs.
It's spending months in space, I don't think it's for marketing.

Based on what this talk indicates, the US Government is doing some questionable(...) things in terms of signals intelligence in space.

We probably won't know what X37-B is doing in space for years but I imagine they will have at least tried to do some big brother exercises. The US/Western Intelligence community effectively treats all communications as fair game - they always have (e.g. MI5 were capturing encryption keys from neutral embassies using microphones in the ~50/60s) they just possess the means to do it efficiently at large scale now.

I imagine a large part of its mission is also just testing military equipment that can't go on the ISS but that's not as sexy.
Exactly. The browser becomes (basically) an OS running within the host OS, so s/he's invented a kind of half-cocked virtualisation. There's a joke in there somewhere about turtles all the way down.

You really should go to a doctor for the skin condition at least.

There's no evidence of that. There are some very occasional skin conditions associated with COVID but they don't don't sound much like this.
If you want to know how they are written, you could look at the library source for any open source ones.

If you want to actually implement, then I would say "don't". The libraries should be accurate and exposed to mass scrutiny with their use throughout the industry.

Git-lfs has been a pain in my seat since my first use of it. Most of the issues stem from the pointer files that have to be filtered/smudged pre/post commit.

Haven't used git-annex myself, but I have heard from coworkers that cross-OS is a pain.
> TypeScript has been a thing for a while now.

Yes, and typescript is great. But you do need a rigorous approach with it to get type safety on parr with languages like java and c++. And since that type information is lost by the time it gets to the interpretor, it provide any benefit to performance. For example, the js interpretor has to check the types if operands at runtime to perform addition. JIT compilation helps a lot, but if the interpreted language had stronger typing, the JIT compilation could probably do an even better job, since it could make more assumptions.

"AirBnB"

You can make good money renting out your place and listing it on Airbnb. Don't like it? You can always use Craigslist or advertise yourself. It's not like airBnb provides nothing. They provide a built-in stream of potential customers, which could take a lot more money and time to obtain on your own.

"Google (play store)"
"Apple (App Store)"

People are only willing to pay a few dollars at most for an app, unless it's very specialized. I have always seen apps as a feature/benefit to a main business, which Google and Apple can't control.

"Amazon (the web marketplace, not AWS)"

Most businesses on Amazon have a storefront/website and use Amazon to get more business. Amazon may control the marketplace, but they don't have to control your business. This is a choice with many alternatives.

"and Uber"

Again, this is a choice. Uber was never meant to provide a full-time income for anyone. It's meant as a way to make some extra money on the side.

When we have many choices and alternatives, the argument that these companies are the 'new lords' becomes very weak.
A Hypothetical Term Sheet
Something about that analysis seems suspect to me.

Imagine that I own a house.

You stay at my house for a night and pay me $1. Let's call it rent or whatever.

I then spend $3 on bricks and stuff and improve my house. My cash outflow is -$2.

The work done on my house improves the value of my house by $4 (consider this to be the "internal economy").

In that year then, my net worth has increased by $2.

That is to say that it seems possible to me that you could have a negative trade balance and still be winning as you're increasing your wealth at a rate faster than you give it away.

Am I missing something?
Both companies and individuals are being subsidized or bailed out by central banks and governments. Governments spend 35-45 percent of GDP. That is fascism.

Coven is a statist. While he calls himself a libertarian, his recommendations usually don't involve les# government - very unlibertarian.
There is a very glaring omission (or call it gloss-over) in this article - whether and when a free() even causes the allocator to actually release memory to the OS. JVMs are kinda famous for their "om nom nom" attitude on this, but you can't transfer from ptmalloc (glibc, whose man page is cited regarding >=128k mmap) to tcmalloc and jemalloc.

Also, on Linux, an allocator may use madvise(MADV_FREE) instead of munmap(); this tells the kernel that the data in a page is no longer needed but can be unmapped at the kernel's discretion, possibly even at different times for different threads (e.g. when doing a task switch for an unrelated reason.)

[EDIT: this doesn't actually work, see below. Sorry.]
this addresses a fundamentally different issue. The article concerns outflow of capital surplus from the developing world to the developed world.

The fact aside that the "16 trillion since the 80s" which sounds staggering is one year of economic activity by China, this isn't about someone forcibly extracting wealth out of the developing world. It's the newfound class of wealthy people in the developing world transferring export surpluses and wealth to places they consider more safe. (which if anything is an indication of their total increase in prosperity).

from the article

"But by far the biggest chunk of outflows has to do with unrecorded – and usually illicit – capital flight. GFI calculates that developing countries have lost a total of $13.4tn through unrecorded capital flight since 1980."
Interesting... I've used Eigen for matrix operations before, I did not know they had such a smart general-purpose array implementation!
This scenario is explored in an old pulp scifi novel I read.

World ships are sent, in the interim time-bendiness of the universe (100 years on Earth an 5 years aboard ship) FTL travel is developed and the occupants of the world ships are rescued and repatriated.

No clue who wrote the book.

That is generally true, but I think the intended purpose is to reward R&D. If a company spent 10 years and lots of money making something, they should get some benefit for the investment.

In practice, though, I think the system is less than ideal.
Better roll their own OS then. And then their own hardware and semiconductors as well.
That's just plain-old public choice playing out at an inter-governmental level, and not even a very "left wing" or conspiratorial idea. Any time you have the potential for concentrated interest groups benefiting at the expense of a widely-dispersed and perhaps poorly-informed public, you can expect that these opportunities will be pursued. Just ordinary corruption at work, "lots of small conspiracies" that are extremely hard to police effectively, and thus go unpoliced.
I don't want the pager to go off just because of some slight non-liveness. That's a likely outcome of high utilization (usually viewed as a good thing, isomorphic with low cost). If you're running really hot and a few tasks are shedding load by playing dead intermittently, that's OK up to a point; if a large portion of pods are doing that at a high rate, that might be bad. You might not even alert on it, just throw it up on a dashboard as informative indicator for operators.
And many of those apps end up with terrible performance. I'm sure it's possible to write a performant electron app, but I don't see it happen often and it's disappointing.
CS3 round the river is quite nice, you could cross straight away and cycle round that.

For me, the key is to continuously try different routes. Sometimes the busier roads are safer and more pleasant to cycle. Personally once I’m on my bike the length of the route no longer matters - it’s getting on it on the first place that’s tough.

Nearly all of my journeys last year where on my bike, on a hire bike, or in a taxi. It’s wonderful leaving the tube behind.

I live in Adelaide. It's over 700km to the nearest city above 250K people (Geelong).

By calories, certainly.

But fresh produce frequently exists outside the commodity market -- the individual grocery stores or chains have relationships with individual producers (or consortiums) to distribute their products.

Basically if your food is labeled with the name of the producer it isn't commodity agriculture -- for instance, bags of apples are frequently branded by the orchard which produces them, because the orchard is selling directly to the grocery store (maybe with a middle man or two doing the actual sales and distribution), and not selling into a generic "apple" market the way eg wheat producers do.

The protocols are designs as small layers and on top of one-another. I wouldn't expect a new protocol to be invented every year or even decades.

I think what you mentioned could be accomplished using existing protocols. There isn't a need for a new protocol for this specific purpose.

For this specific purpose, what if we just had personalized/signed RSS feeds per payer?
I have a great deal of respect for Ted Ts'o but I don't think this concern has much merit. If your CPU vendor is an attacker, there are much more trivial ways for the manufacturer to break your security in hard to detect ways.

My thoughts exactly! As the Elixir code at my company continues to grow at a rapid rate, writing OTP services for everything has allowed me to never have to think about entire classes of bugs and edge cases simply by virtue of the patterns inherent in OTP and Elixir/Erlang.

If you ask Dr Fauci he’ll say let’s save as many lives as we can. Taken alone no one can argue with that.

His agenda is to save lives. Obvious.

So he will make as strong a case as he can to support the measures to save lives.

If you pay attention to him and only him it makes sense to lockdown until there is a cure or vaccine.

Now tell me, does that make sense for every single person? From age 10 to 100, rich, poor, healthy, sick, for several months or even a year+?

There are costs to Fauci’s agenda which he ignores because that’s not his job but also it doesn’t make sense for him to talk about the costs.

You think of an agenda as a bad thing but it’s not it’s just the thing someone wants to get done.

Silently? Since when is comparing objects in JS with (in)equality operators the right thing to do? There's no operator overloading nor special symbol you can implement in objects to make this work seamlessly ever. Casting/stringifying or calling functions is the only way for all objects.
I don't think it's a particularly recent notion. Ancient cities are the archetypical government, providing defense, some sort of justice system, and (often paved) roads. We see evidence of that from as far ago as the nearly 6000 year old city of Ur. Where larger empires existed, they often built larger road networks between cities to facilitate commerce and troop movements. The Inca road system and the Roman roads are well known examples of road networks built by their respecive empires. The Romans are also kind of famous for their bridges (viaducts and aquaducts).

Of course the less important roads were and still are often private, and the early US had an atypical lack of government that made this more common. But I don't think that proves that governments providing roads and bridges is a recent phenomenon, it's in fact rather ancient.
Yes, it is just a side effect of the only bidirectional profile in Bluetooth being the HFP profile, which is mono and generally sucks. You just can’t get audio that sounds better than a 2005 earpiece over Bluetooth if you need a mic. I hope there’s some serious engineering effort to fix this. I think there’s some proprietary magic that makes that work better in iOS.
