The microcode is still controlling a microprocessor, not defining gates. It's more like microcode is the assembly language and the x86 or w/e is byte code.
Yes exactly. This is why every tech company should apply this type of standardized testing to software engineers as well. We can test for specific types of algorithms and have them regurgitate them on whiteboards, making it easy to compare each candidate on highly relevant skills they will be using on the job. It's not perfect because there's still rampant ageism in our industry but it's better than letting ourselves use inferior shadow subjective judgement (cue loud dog whistle). Otherwise we might become biased and look at completely irrelevant things that don't measure a model programmer correctly.

Developers not understanding CORS is simply all the more reason why it's good that CORS defaults to secure behavior whenever possible. The harder you make it for ignorant developers to shoot themselves (and their users) in the foot, the better.

postMessage's API design has similar issues to WebSockets. MDN does a pretty good job of explaining the dangers (practically every other paragraph on the page for postMessage contains a warning in bold text about properly validating the origin argument), but I think it would have been far better if the API forced devs to explicitly specify which origins they want to receive events from up front rather than relying on them to check the origin themselves after the message is received. I have little doubt there will be numerous vulnerabilities instigated by the current API design, despite MDN's warnings.
Great news, and hopefully this will be pulled into the FreeDOS devtools distribution ASAP.
Just to shed some thoughts around not adding features - keep in mind that DM42 is a "homage" to the original HP42. If we go ahead and make major changes to the UI (besides what we have already made to take advantage of the screen), it is no longer a true to the aforementioned spirit. Graphing capabilities were rudimentary on HP42S and you need a printer to plot. Similarly, DM42 has an IR sensor and complete backwards compatibility with HP42S printer.

There is a deliberate attempt to not add features, and to keep DM42 compatible with HP42S "interface". We've received strong feedback from our users to not make major changes to the HP42S spec. One can just use HP42S manual and everything should just work. It is the same with the key layout.

If you want to add features or mess around with the firmware, it is open source. There is also an SDK that you can use to write your own firmware if you wish.

Furthermore, there are some exciting projects to build a new RPN platform all together - WP43 is one.

That said, all feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thank you.
The GiveDirectly trial is a 12-year long one - not whole life, but also not insignificant.
1 definitely won't happen. Money is nothing more than a number on a computer screen. When the fed spends, they just type a new number on the screen - literally. Modern Monetary theory really opened my eyes around the phony assumptions regarding U.S. "debt".

Edit - I know money is more that a number on a computer screen, it's also a general collection of cultural assumptions, it's a partial reflection of the energy system etc. I'm replying in the context of "running out of money"
Childcare is a great answer. We pay our baby sitter $120/day, and we treat her like royalty because she’s good it at and she actually has a great hourly rate for the area ($15/hr).

It’s working out really well for everyone involved. We may just keep her on even when daycare opens back up.

UBI shouldn't cover the American Dream. That should only be a reality throught work.

UBI should cover a room to live, bread to eat, healthcare and internet access (to participate in the democracy, voting, etc).

Typical residential units come with a resistance electrical heating element. It forms the basis of the "emergency heat" functionality. It also begins operating as ambient outdoor conditions exceed the performance of the heat pump mechanism.

I mention this not because this is what your particular system does. I mention it because it is typical for widely available residential heat pumps in the ordinary market.

It's not an explicit category on the test and I never debated that. It might be an implicit requirement though.

Just how when you take your drivers test you should actually be able to operate your vehicle and know the laws around operating a motor vehicle aside from the explicit knowledge required from you in the test. But I understand how this might be a foreign concept for someone from the US.
I tend to agree - it should be Universal Basic Stuff (UBS). Particularly if housing is in a low cost of living area, then everything should get cheaper through automation. High End Manufactured housing [1], MOOCs, Telemedicine, Consumer Products will all get cheaper. Entrepreneurs in SV can create robots to automate the production of these things so even more UBS categories can be added. UBS assurances will avoid the inflationary effects of UBI.

> I personally think that people pushing against standardized tests and for holistic admissions have good intentions and aren't trying to systemically ensure that all students at prestigious and elite universities in the US talk, think, and act like them, but I can't blame anyone for thinking so.

I’m not sure I feel like giving the benefit of the doubt here. I think folks are acting in good faith, no doubt. But they have decided that everyone who doesn’t talk, think, and act like them is a danger to society. Where those people are white, they can be condemned as “deplorables.” Where those same views are shared by minorities (Asian Americans with respect to views on family and marriage, and meritocracy, black people with respect to views on religion, etc.) they just select figureheads that happen to agree with them and then have those people claim to speak for everyone non-white.

If you aren't going to replace existing welfare systems, why not improve them, instead of adding yet another system to the mix?
Those regulations exist specifically for the purpose of keeping property prices high. That's what people actually want because they already own property and want to profit by restricting the supply to others as well as keeping the riff-raff out which will devalue it.

I wonder why. (I guess it might involve code licensed from third parties, co-developed and jointly owned with OEM vendors, or unclear provenance of IP.)

I wonder if it will ever change. I hope one day it does.

One of these days (probably long after I'm dead) the copyright will expire. I hope the source code hasn't been lost by then. (Sadly, there's a decent chance it will have been.)

Not OP, but:

1. Ok.

2. I leave that to OP to answer.

3. What if I don't like cooking and can afford to eat out?

4. What's better? Maybe I like living in a big city. Not everyone wants a house with a backyard.

5. We shall see. "Information workers" like to think they're superior to everyone else but people are ultimately social. Work is social. Companies build stuff by having people collaborate and so far there's no collaboration better than face-to-face. That's how you break down silos, for example, in many cases.

6. That's assuming that the company redirects the money they pay on offices to help employees pay for their home offices. I really doubt that.

7. Big companies pay better. Big companies have big projects small companies can't even dream of. There are many reasons to join a big company.

I'm not American, but I have seen a lot of my friends apply for American universities. Personally, I think the whole admission process is super messed up. In most places one would take a nation/international examination and based on the score of that exam one would enter. In the US one has to pay "college counselors" and various middle men for handling all sorts of things. I don;t see how removing SATs would make it "fairer" for students from less well to do backgrounds. Removing college counselors would though.

This is not to say I would agree with the fact that the SATs/ACTs are good. To be fair as far as exams go these exams have a lot of loop holes. I have seen people who can't speak proper English get perfect scores on these exams by memorizing hard words. The mathematics section is a bit of a standing joke in many Asian countries. It is almost impossible for a high school student to get less than the full score in many countries as it would not be possible to pass other national/international boards.

In all honesty, rather than scrap ACT/SAT, one probably should review these exams. It is possible for one to design an exam such that private tuition doesn't give too much of an advantage.
I think that the work that needs to be done, will still get done but it'll be better rewarded (ie it'll be more expensive) - jobs that people don't want to do need to get paid more because employers can't just rely on economic coercion of the poor to force them to do dangerous or boring jobs, they need to remunerate them accordingly - which IMO is how the system should work. Result would probably be that businesses whose only value prop is predicated on cheap labor, will suffer, and businesses whose value prop is predicated on quality, will be rewarded.

EDIT: I do think there is risk that the coercion will become more intensely focused on illegal immigrants and foreign labor to fill in that niche, however, so better safeguards for illegal exploitation probably need to come along with UBI.
This doesn't directly answer your question of "violent" (and it seems on the whole the QAnon protests have been non-violent), but the FBI assessed QAnon Extremists as a domestic terrorism threat[0]. (The qualification here is "QAnon Extremists" which appears to, probably correctly, separate the extremist element from the majority).

Except that the very next paragraph clearly shows that this isn't just a statement of their priorities and goals, it is what they want the entire committee to adopt as the priorities and goals for the future evolution of the standard.
> Whatever the case, the company is withdrawing the WARN notice (a 60-day notification for large-scale layoffs) sent to staff in late April. The move represents an apparent reversal of the massive layoff round it previously announced.

What does that mean exactly? Were the people laid off given their jobs back? What does "withdrawing" a WARN notice even mean?
Thanks giving that a shot now.

Edit: Alright this is pretty good. I'm going to stick with this for a while. It was super easy to get up and going (just spawn with "start javaw" for a background daemon).

I installed the 14 GB n-gram data too, which makes it even better. Only tip is that the command line arguments are case specific for some reason (languagemodel vs languageModel matter).

Trolling, or did you just not RTFA?
It's worth noting that secrets rarely live in front-end code, specifically because it's impossible to prevent people from extracting them.
It might be like saying the students are only allowed to mark their answers in blue ink or black and no other colour rather than saying it's a particular brand.

Is there any objective evidence that SAT favors wealthy people. I mean, I am sure it does to some extent. But how much? Even if there is a bias towards richer kids, the disparity could be due to other reasons as well - better schooling, better parenting, better social network etc. How are these other reasons eliminated?

Wow! I did not realize that it was written so quickly. Two months that literally changed the PC landscape forever.

I would say not, as that’s what every standards body should say. It doesn’t speak to being dominated by one stakeholders point of view.
It's working well for us but we occasionally get blips where for very short periods of time messages get "stuck" in between application code events on different servers and we cannot figure out why. It's very rare. Maybe a burst of 5 messages every 10 million messages.

Any ideas on how to even debug this type of thing? Help! We think it might be a tcp connection failure but we have no idea.

I used to take Caltrain to work. The best way to find out about the frequent service outages and accidents was not from Caltrain, but from stranded passengers complaining on Twitter.

Caltrain doesn't really communicate, their delay estimates are as reliable as the progress bar on Windows 3.1, and the stations are unstaffed. It's a total joke from top to bottom.

I used to spend a lot of money on Uber to get home when Caltrain let me down.

I don't know what they are but if they were stolen, then obviously it was unable to protect them at that time. No, I don't think ancient Greek artifacts belong to modern Greek people or the modern Greece country. Perhaps they could just as well belong to the EU and be kept in any EU country. Who decides what political entities are the true heirs?
wut, that is a failing grade in most universities....

Under 2.0 or 2.2 GPA (depending on your school) and you are on academic probation. If you have an academic scholarship, you must maintain at least a 3.0 (B) average....
Which seems fair.

The true average is somewhere between 2.5 and 3.0.
Yes, if you want to use a cell phone and/or a computer to complete your tasks you should have some basic knowledge about how it operates.

You can shift responsibility for that knowledge wherever you want but I would say that at the age between 16 and 19 (which google tells me is the average age for AP classes) I would expect that knowledge from someone applying for AP credit. And if someone didn't know what the accepted file types (as stated in the FAQ) meant at that age I'd expect them to figure it out for themselves.
Well, I suppose you’re welcome to have whatever bizarre opinions you like, but you should recognise that they’re pretty fringe.

No, this isn’t something the average person should need to know about.
In NixOS, typically the config files will be generated from scratch using the Nix language, see for example sshd [0] or bind [1].

`d4ys2c8kzzcp3g4fv3ivy7a5nkayg7w2` is a hash of the inputs to a derivation (a package in Nix terms).

In a sense, at it's lowest level, a derivation is a function `f(x) -> y` where `x` is some Nix expressions (including the inputs and how to build it, often in bash) and `y` is a nix store path. The nix store path includes the hash which is a hash of `x`.

For bind, the config file itself is a derivation, it just uses a plain string (interpolated with variables via Nix) into the writeText wrapper.

They are different. That project is disassembling Microsoft BASIC for 6502. What Microsoft has just open sourced is their BASIC for 8086. Two separate codebases, although they have some commonalities. (As the MS blog post mentions, they kept master source in some kind of abstract assembly which could then be automatically translated into specific machine's assembly language, but then I believe there were manual additions to the assembly code after translation.)
You're only partly right, the problem more is exceptionally worse than when you were a kid.

I'm 4th generation Southern Oregon and when I was a kid (20 years ago) I rarely saw homeless people in Medford, they either were much more reclusive or didn't exist. Ashland is it's own case however and we would play the game "Hiker or Homeless."

There's a bike path that runs from Ashland all the way to... Well, at least Central point, or maybe Gold Hill? It's about 25 miles. The Medford sections are now overflowing with tents and homeless camps, enough to make it dangerous for families and children. This was unthinkable twenty years ago.

I can see a future cynical me talking about how brutal it is to lure poor students and have them take loans to pay first year tuition only to kick them out a year later with nothing to show for it, if they're not the top 1/3 for some reason.
I'm not familiar with the SAT, so I might be misunderstanding. But how is returning to an earlier section of the paper after you've completed a later section considered cheating?
In all the exams I took over high school/university we could complete the paper in any order we like.
To me, they are a no brainer in the Florida peninsula. Above that, I'd start to consider a furnace and an air conditioner as an alternative for better heating aesthetics (quieter and warmer air at the register). Also, sizing the AC properly to prevent short cycling, means a heat pump will not heat as quickly a furnace. With a furnace, short cycling is not an issue.
Roughly none, I would guess. I can't imagine there are any patents expressed in the actual MS code, and the MIT and 2 clause BSD licenses are virtually identical.
Going old school is hard too. Not many COBOL programmers in New Jearsy.
"Rather, this is presented as a vehicle to advertise our needs from C++ as a high-performance systems language."

Their are two main factions of UBI. On one side you have free market libertarians and conservatives that would cut social spending to pay for it. On the other hand you have a "progressive" version of UBI that is founded on Modern Monetary theory and would simply make UBI an addendum to social spending. Modern monetary theory holds that a government that issues it's own currency can never go insolvent. If you haven't heard of MMT I suggest you google the topic and listen or watch some material by Stephanie Kelton on the topic.

Edit:

With the corona virus "stimulus" people are getting a taste of modern monetary theory. They are starting to realize how little the nation debt matters and that what really matters is the result of the spending and the actions it invokes.

Some people are wondering why the stimulus checks are so small. I believe that if they were any bigger people might get used to the idea of living decent lives without economic anxiety thus the cats out the bag for the corporate big wigs, corporate democrats and republicans.

It might lead to a domino effect of a new standard of living and a new collection of cultural assumptions regarding money

Also, generally Andrew Yangs version of UBI would cut social spending and is not founded on modern monetary theory axioms.

Edit again,

I should mention Stephanie Kelton does not support UBI perse', she supports a federal jobs program but the economic assumptions still hold true.
