His argument is slightly different.

It is not a fearsome weapon to elevate the people at the bottom, but rather one to make elites prove that they are reasonably intelligent before being given the keys to the power and wealth.

Character, extracurriculars, awards, etc. can all be neatly packaged and generated for a student. Grades can be gamed very easily. Another local school near mine had internal grades and adjusted grades for sending to universities.

The student needs to pass the SAT on their own even if they are relentlessly tutored. It is one thing that someone cannot do for them entirely.
Can be traced. Monero is another option but I've heard it can be traced too. I certainly wouldn't bet my life on it. But in either case you still have to convert it into cash at some point.
I also wonder that. IE is famously non-compliant when it comes to web standards and they were a big player back then.

Chrome gained a lot of it's early traction by being quick to adopt new technologies.

I wonder if it was also to do with the dramatic increate in the size of the spec. ES4 would have added so many more concepts I can't help but think thebrowsers would have nather not gone to all the effort.
It's not censored, you can see the tweet with an extra click, it just has a warning.

We have a mature TF module library and can roll out complex, well configured infra in a matter of hours, reliably. That said it's platform specific.

Sure, managed service costs are certainly a thing, but to my point that only really start to become an issue at significant scale, assuming you're well configured.
Github provides an email to Github comment gateway. So he was composing his replies in his email client.
I'm skeptical of any and all articles like this that link to 404 pages as their proof. Maybe an innocent error. Maybe a sham. Given the way the article is written, and its broken links, I really doubt this is anything more than propaganda. One would expect the information to be available elsewhere.

It's also important to note that they also have an article rebutting the one posted here. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/05/06/there_...

Their definition of "real clear" doesn't really match mine, but at least the second article is clear about why the first one is untrue. There is clearly a demographic that will ignore their self-rebuttal and believe the first one as gospel.
Many books. (Catch-22, Fate is the Hunter, To Hell and Back, Asimov's Science-Fiction Novels, etc, etc, etc.)

Many people can only read a book once. I like to read books that I have enjoyed many times.

Just as you eat one particular dish that you like many times, enjoying it every time, you can enjoy some books over and over for the delight they give you.

But some books you won't like and will never read again, just as some food dishes you won't have again because they were found to be unenjoyable the first time.
> I still feel most comfortable in that domain, but I think most folks acknowledge SwiftUI is the future.

As a counterpoint, SwiftUI is easier to grok to me (a student who's done a lot of web work in React) than UIKit (especially storyboards and the constraints system, but maybe I haven't made enough of an effort to learn it). HStacks and VStacks are very similar to flexbox layout.
> If states drop out, it's decently likely no one gets to 270. That means the House chooses the president, the Senate chooses the VP. In the House, each state gets one vote. I repeat, one.... Also, the Congress that decides this is the new one, not the old one. So some election needs to happen because House terms, every single seat, expires on January 3.

But I'd imagine that the states that dropped out of the election would actually get zero votes, and and those would be the states most closely aligned with the president.

> Most states are likely to still be red states in the 2020 Congress, so if the decision goes to the House, Trump will probably get another term. Again, each state just gets one vote.

But like I noted above, the red states would be the ones that would be more likely to follow Trump's lead an drop out of an election. I only count 24 red-tinted states on Wikipedia's map, so a few drop outs would actually hurt the Republicans.

But if it got to the red states picking that, would they be obligated to pick an official presidential candidate? I'd hope the Republicans would at least pick a president that isn't as deranged as Trump. On the other hand, Trump's derangement isn't a completely bad thing, because it leads him to pursue his objectives incompetently.
Dying is not the only risk from Coronavirus. There are many people who survived but will never fully recover (link below). Many SARS victims were left with long term damage to their lungs, bones, or nervous system, and we're already seeing evidence the same may be true for Coronavirus.

https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2020/05/29/cor...

The US military initially barred any coronavirus survivor from enlisting, for life, regardless of how long ago or their current health. That's something they never considered doing for the flu. They've since walked back on that, and I can't help but wonder if it's because they realized it would exclude too much of their potential recruitment pool.
ooo i love idea of tokens per line idea. do you mean distinct words per line? or conceptual objects you have to juggle in your head?
You can change your opinion on new information. The problem is most of the maga crowd thinks bill gates wants to track them via microchip inside a vaccine. These are information's that's not based on science or a sound mind. The information that changed the minds of the people that questioned the first travel ban. Now was the initial decision to travel ban china based on information, no it was out of spite and to show that something is getting done and to shift blame. So it basically drills down to the question do I want rationality or not.
Sometimes, but not always.

I often do it too to improve readability, but it doesn't always actually improve readability. Sometimes it takes something which makes logical sense to have in one line and arbitrarily breaks it up in awkward spots over several lines.

If you squish code into 80 characters wide, you lose vertical density, making a set of actions more difficult to understand by separating steps.
Curious about this. Can you elaborate more? Also happy to hop on a call/zoom if you don't want to share publicly (email me at saguziel@gmail.com). I'm working on something similar.
I generally agree. My allergies really mess with my near vision, which is otherwise very good. My needs change. Should everyone else have to change how they do things to meet my changing needs? We have the technology to make any line length equally accessible to everyone.

We should be focusing instead on the contextual and cognitive pros and cons of various line lengths.
So how do all the countries that don't have the SAT manage not to collapse?
This is a really important distinction. The media really buried the lede calling it a Predator, which I associate with recon/surveillance only. The fact that it’s MQ-9, capable of carrying all manner of weaponry including 4 air-to-ground missiles and 2 laser-guided bombs (according to the Wikipedia page—who knows what this particular UAV is carrying) really changes my evaluation of how bad this is.
I've found 120 to be the sweet spot - it either fills a laptop screen entirely or allows 2 open editors on a wide screen.
Ah thanks - yeah I've already pushed with my new aliased email for git (I recently switched to Fastmail and set up a less extreme alias configuration :) ).

Oh, nice! I really prefer the window dragging method, though, and it doesn't seem like Hammerspoon supports that.
I mean it’s pretty clear that traffic deaths are humans killing humans. We don’t need to wring our hands over some imagined slippery slope.
War has been highly likely imminent since Crimea, but only overwhelmingly so (imo) since Hong Kong. I strongly feel there will be war. China and Russia both are invading other countries already. The US is splitting at the seams (likely with some bot help from the two former groups).

Ever since Hong Kong, I've been extra attentive and appreciative of the fact that this may be as close to peace as we will ever see the world again.

This. Right now. This may be as close to peace as we will ever see again.

Never-the-less, I have the utmost hope for project Earth, with or without humans.
There are all kinds of $1000+ books on Amazon because they're out of print with only one available used. I'm pretty sure it's a default feature of seller management software, automated as "juice the price if mine is the only one available."
I've also read Friedman's work and tend to agree with a lot of his points. However, what we've started seeing for some years now is a severe degradation of the US's soft power. The hard power is still there and the US will probably make more and more use of it in order to keep other countries (or its own population) under control.

For the rest of the world (and for a significant part of the US population) this will make life more unpleasant, but at the same time will help dispel any lingering illusions about the benevolent or fair nature of American power.

Most countries call it the national exam or entrance exam. They are very common throughout the world.
> revenue-generating sports.

I always laugh when I see this.

If you shut down all sports, all but something like the 5 top sports universities (and I think I'm being generous--if I remember correctly only UT-Austin is demonstrably profitable) would see a net profit--sometimes significantly so since the coaches are often some of the highest paid employees.
I don’t defend price gouging because the rich are more deserving. I defend price gouging because it can help create supply.

Next time your area is hit with a widespread electric outage and all the generators are sold out, call Home Depots 500 and 1000 miles away. Chances are they’ll have a normal supply on-hand. Maybe some of those will find their way into your area, but I can be pretty damn sure it would happen faster if they were selling at 1.5x the normal price in your area.
> I agree with the part about smart kids being disadvantaged by the SAT going away, but nonconformists and smart people are not the same thing.

In this context, "smart noncomformist kids" refers to the intersection of "smart kids" and "nonconformist kids". The proposition of this sentence is that college admissions officers will reject all the nonconformist kids because they can't tell which ones are smart.
> Indeed it's recommended to put BA(Open), or whatever, by the uni as it's considered by some more valuable than an attendance based degree.

All unis do this BA (Cantab), BA (Bristoliensis), BA (Exon), etc. It’s nothing special for OU.

The UAV is owned by CBP, and is effectively loaned to local police. Why is that a problem?

We can't allow agencies to borrow equipment and specialists? They should all buy their own, at tax payer's expense?

Would you feel any different if this UAV had been bought by local law enforcement instead of borrowed? If so, why?
what is soft power vs hard power?
Twitter ex-CEO attacks Facebook for being hotbed of anti-vaxxer conspiracies
Details matter.

The way I'm set up at my desktop, my editor can fit ~320 columns. Which means I can fit four 80-column-wide files side by side. Three, if you account for line numbers on the margin.

(I usually do two, because my code tends to go up to ~120 characters.)
I was wondering the same thing, yes. I'm often an annoying stickler about keeping line length for text on the web set to what a couple centuries of book design have taught us makes long-form prose more readable, but code is not prose. I try to keep multi-line comments wrapped to around 78 characters, but I'm not really too worried about code.

(This invites a rant about people, usually people who use Emacs, who put hard line breaks in text paragraphs, but I'll save it for another time.)
no, i don't agree with this take. it's just chicken/egg then and figuring out who started it first.

i don't condone the riots or excuse the people obviously trying to take advantage of the situation sow chaos/loot stuff, but the spirit of riots are a manifestation of a failure of a system. people don't just riot as the default response to injustice.

imo, cops that are "racist" didn't become that way because of mobs like this. they joined the force because, like other positions of power, it allows them that arena to act out their beliefs. you remove these people by removing the structures that allow them to proliferate.

i feel like no matter what black people do to protest there is always someone critical of how they protest. had this been an open letter from the community nobody would pay attention. look at the repeated times this has happened in the country and what eventually happened to the perpetrators, even after going thru the formal legal process. look at the ire drawn toward kaepernik for kneeling.

in the end it is a complex issue and it's not like we can just put everyone onto a "side" and make it one-dimensional. and i agree that there has to be a mutual respect among the community. but, i'm of the belief that if you're in an elevated position like a cop you need to be held to a higher standard than the average citizen.

SpaceX launch vehicle in Boca Chica TX blows up in explosion
ΔE 21.86 isn't just "not very good", it's unusable for color work. (I would call it "shit-tier", in your parlance). Why did you even use a colorimeter and not calibrate? Sorry to say, that's a much bigger issue than being able to show more intense greens. You're just wrong. Someone asking for a "good screen" should be entirely satisfied with a screen with 100% sRGB gamut, a good ΔE (<3) and off-axis viewing angles, much more so than just a screen with a larger gamut.

(And yes, sure go get a laptop with 100% DCI-P3, HDR 600, etc. I'll wait...)
Is this common for universities across the US?

The university I went to (USC) required that all students had to either submit proof of insurance or pay additional fees as part of their tuition to join the university's health plan. Not having health insurance was not an option if you wanted to enroll.

(This was about 15 years ago, though I just checked and they still have this policy.)
Really? If you have a source, I’m interested.

I figured the event itself was the consequential part, not whether the money was spent.

Also not sure the OP Meant it literally. University expenses are mostly fixed.
Yes, lining up arguments in a deeply indented column is criminally wasteful. Whitespace is a limited resource, to be applied where it is useful. Splattering it everywhere leaves nothing to use to unobtrusively direct attention where needed.
Ideally, an educated citizenry would have the critical thinking skills and the ability to research, but absent that the social media corps are doing their best to help (albeit ham-handedly).

The alternative is what, the government? The very first amendment to the constitution explicitly forbids the government from interfering with the press.
I was only tolerable as a 9th grader because of the ladder of chaos that was middle school. While I may not have learned much in the way of academics, I grew immeasurably socially.
Even with write amplification a node_modules is not typically going to cause more than a few gigabytes write load. So with max TBW being somewhere in the hundreds of terabytes for current SSD, we're looking at hundreds of thousand node_module rewrites before the drive gives.

Unless you're rewriting your node_modules every other minute on an old SSD I recommend finding something else to worry about.
Tech and the Future of Policing
If there so some tool everyone uses that constraints the width use that. Otherwise treat programmers like grown-ups and let them break their lines where they want.

The width of a github code window is about 120 characters. That's suggested max line width because horizontally scrolling diffs during a code review is terrible. It is rare that we have any lines close to that long though.
I think a huge number of people meet their future spouse at uni.
I'm an old programmer that still has the 80 character limit burned into my frontal lobe. But I reached an age where I don't waste anytime worrying about these things. I am surprised Linus is such whiner about this.
To me it seems quite likely that this is on loan to or being flown on behalf another agency.

The teaching facility that I work, just a few days before the lock down it was business as usual. We all knew that we were supposed to distance, but how? The cafe was chock full of students, the libraries full to bursting. All lectures full. Tiny corridoors, limited parking, 20 busses full of students....

And we ALL knew it was crazy.

We can't magic up new buildings, or new classrooms or lecture halls. We lecture 20+ students in rooms that seat .... wait for it .... 20(ish) students. I have no idea how to social distance in there.

Half students in? How do I teach half a class, then the other half? Do they magic up a second Monday for me to teach in? And half students, they are still less than 2m apart.

Outside? Teaching IT and coding? Huh?

Exams?

Busses?

The car park?

Older / elderly lecturers - especially those in management. What do with they then?

A fair few of our students are nurses so they know the risks and are happy to inform everyone.

I think we'll open and just hope for the best. Some people are going to get sick and there's not much we can do to avoid it. Unless we stop education for a year.
the first wave never ended. we did almost nothing to actually stop it and have instead just rode it. now, it's going to keep going or even pickup speed.

imagine if a terrorist attack killed over 100,000 people in just a couple of months. instead, we're just like "wasn't so bad" after doing hardly anything.

it's an embarrassment in the u.s. to see people in south korea and china returning back to life as almost normal without danger. and the numbers are incredibly damning to the u.s.
It would be nice if DuckDuckGo supported IPv6, it does not appear to use an AAAA record in DNS.
Your sense of design is imo simply impeccable! I was wondering what you used to build your blog? Checked out the code and it seems custom-built! Is that right?
> It would probably kill far more college students than alcohol poisoning does, to give some comparison.

Maybe slightly more, but not drastically so. About 15 per 100,000 college students die each year from alcohol --- poisoning, motor vehicle accidents, other alcohol-related accidents. Compare to a death rate of about 30 per 100k people aged 18-35 infected with COVID-19 (and it's much lower in the 18-24 set than the entire 18-35 group, but we don't have a good number for how much lower).

And it's not like 100% of students are going to catch it in an academic year (some have already had it, herd immunity, etc).
Github is the new fixed width terminal, and 120 columns is about right for that. That's our standard.

That’s a good point, but I thought laws were amended to allow them to start on their parents medical plan until 26 years old? While not the only cohort I imagine this is the bulk of university students
Porkbun, but I'm biased.
People attending 4 year universities generally have access to student health services and economical subsidized insurance-- in fact, are generally -required- to purchase the same as a condition of enrollment. (Not to mention any coverage they may get as part of staying on parents' health plans).

Basic supply and demand is a very poor economic model. It’s cited all the time by armchair commenters, but rarely reflects reality.
Pretty much zero humans would die.

Ecosystems adapt. The things eating mosquitoes would find something else to eat, or maybe not. Some species will grow their population, some will reduce. Some species will evolve a bit differently.

The idea that everything will collapse if we eradicate mosquitoes or pandas is just absurd (I have nothing against pandas by the way; I'm just observing that them disappearing did not collapse everything).
You can use any phone number to sign up, it doesn’t have to be the one on your SIM. The rationale is that people typically text using phone numbers, and they wanted to make it easier to text people securely. It’s not nonsense, it makes perfect sense, and again, they’re working on it: https://signal.org/blog/signal-pins/

If you only have access to one phone number and not giving it out is critical, then Signal might not be the right choice for you. But you won’t find a more secure channel that collects less metadata anywhere else.
Nazi Germany taught everyone that you can’t win a war alone and I’m not sure world alliances are strong enough that we’re in a WW1 situation. Countries continue to get upsetti spaghetti over events like Crimea, killing Soleimani, and SA starting/stopping oil production but the alliances just aren't there to back up the anger.
I've gotten used to doing that not with the mouse but keyboard shortcuts, using an, um, let's call it venerable third-party Mac program called Moom. Moom has a drag-to-snap feature similar to Windows' functionality, but whenever I enable it, I find myself constantly resizing windows by accident. This is funny to me only in that it seems really ironic that as a long-time Mac user who's been known to argue with the "only use the keyboard" crew over the relative virtues of pointing devices, this is something I do way better with the keyboard.
