I remember 10 years ago (?) people were already complaining about how crazy installing some random packages via pip is instead of installing them via distro's package manager repo. The packages from distro's repo might be out of date but at least someone already vetted them they said. If someone with a time machine go back and tell them what we'll do with npm and docker today they'll probably quit programming on the spot.
What measure are you using for top universities? Looking at US News' top engineering schools, Cornell, UCLA, Berkeley, CMU and Georgia Tech are all in the top 15.

Apple slows down old phones, no one gives 5 years of support.
i'm a C programmer, not for any great love of the syntax, but because i cross-compile for embedded hardware with limited resources and there aren't a lot of options.

there are also other use cases for C. since it is close to the metal, it is a good fit for security-sensitive, heavily-audited codebases, because there are fewer layers of abstraction to audit and a smaller attack surface. manual memory management makes it a good fit for performance-sensitive applications, real-time encoding, signal processing, etc., because a garbage collector isn't competing for CPU time.

there's a lot of overlap between all these use-cases, though, and most of it comes down to the fact that C:

* is compiled,

* has manual memory management,

* is a relatively small language with a relatively small standard library,

* (and of course, we can't ignore the network effect) is ubiquitous.

so, when i see a document to introduce me to a new language, and it claims to be written for C developers, the first thing i am going to look for is some information about the language so that i can judge whether it is even remotely suitable for the contexts in which i would normally write in C.

i read "foreword", "introduction", "culture shock", and "running a j program", looking to answer some questions like: is it compiled or interpreted? if interpreted, how complex is the interpreter? if compiled, does the compiler use LLVM or some other intermediate AST? is it garbage collected? can the garbage collector be turned off? how does performance compare?

the only passage that tried to answer "why should i bother?" is a couple of sentences in the foreword:

> To begin with, for the productivity. J programs are usually a fifth to a tenth as long as corresponding C programs, and along with that economy of expression comes coding speed. Next, for the programming environment: J is an interpreted language, so your programs will never crash, you can modify code while it's running, you don't have to deal with makefiles and linking, and you can test your code simply by entering it at the keyboard and seeing what it does.

all of that is true of python too, but that doesn't mean python can do what i do with C.
My takeaway from the NYT article[0] was that Sweden's approach to coronavirus hasn't left them totally overwhelmed primarily because Swedes willingly self-lockdowned and distanced almost as much as people under government-mandated lockdowns. So while some like to point to them and say "see, we could've stayed totally open," the reality is that they did lockdown but it came as a decentralized decision rather than a centralized order. Because they did effectively lockdown, their economy is expected to be impacted similarly to the rest of Europe[1]. Is my interpretation incorrect?

[0] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/15/world/europe/...

[1] "Preliminary evidence shows Sweden has suffered similar economic effects as its neighbors: The Swedish Central Bank projects the country’s G.D.P. will contract by 7 to 10 percent this year, an estimate on par with the rest of Europe. (The European Commission projects the E.U. economy will contract by 7.5 percent.)" (Ref [0])

They appear to have _literally_ no way to use any of their services except through a phone "app". No thank you. I don't want a toy bank.
I tried everything, same issues. For example for contract many of these issues are even worse, because taxes, regulations on what kind of contractors may be hired, or local countries or cities requiring contractors to be registered locally, etc...
Never directly, but I've spent 20 years adjacent to the defense industry, almost half of that working directly under a salty old engineer of Lockheed pedigree.

Something like that should be a minimum job requirement for covering the defense industry, imo. Without it, they're far too credulous.
Here are the deaths per 1M for few countries around Sweden's death number. Even ignoring Italy which was affected first, all other countries deaths per million are within 2% of each other. What is alarming about Sweden's numbers?

* UK 585

* Spain 580

* Italy 556

* Sweden 450

* France 445

* Netherlands 350

* USA 330

Luckily, he made a very public post about it which is currently being discussed in one of the most influential tech news aggregators on the internet. If others are inspired and also leave the company, it will make an impact.
I can't even get a promoting in the office, so I have no helpful insight.
Ironically I think a Gaussian blur is one of the few transforms that should be totally reversible. Since the Fourier transform of a Gaussian kernel is also Gaussian, it is nonzero everywhere, meaning you can in theory just divide the Fourier transform of the image by the Fourier transform of the kernel to get the original back :)
No we don't, we were already planning on consolidating everything on Cloduflare, we are just going to make the switch sooner.

I couldn’t even register for a business bank account so left a review on Trustpilot. They tried to have it removed as bring fake. Luckily Trustpilot accepted my evidence and reinstated it.
How does that work with connections (eg. consumer ISPs) that use <= 1500 MTU? If there's even one router in your path that doesn't accept high MTUs, any benefits will evaporate. So basically high MTUs are only really useful for datacenter <-> datacenter connections, where you can reliably get high MTUs throughout the entire path.
I have the same issues !!

Free speech is hard when you watch George Floyd get murdered, anti-racism takes a huge leap at censorship against Trump (and labeling is a form of censorship), and then you’re left justifying why Trump’s horrible message should be left untouched.

It’s a scary thing to get labeled as a racist because you defend free speech. I think it illustrates why we should shy away from censorship as much as possible.

People here saying that social media companies should be considered a utility once they reach a certain size are very on point.

I have zero doubts that the anti-racists would happily advocate for Trump to be cut off from electricity/internet/sewage/water.

In some way I agree with them but in another there are healthy methods of activism and unhealthy methods of activism. We shouldn’t be encouraging companies with billions of users to weaponize the unhealthy forms.

I am interested to see how many people who want Trump’s post labeled have read about the history of censorship in Europe and China.

Christianity used censorship a long time ago and what were the primary principles they believed in? Do onto others as you would do onto yourself, love other people, don’t do drugs or commit adultery. Then when you look into the cracks you can see the crusades they went on and all the horrible things that occurred from it.

I hope that isn’t the world we recreate.
Jobless claims, total unemployment level worse than expected
Why do you think I want a violent revolt?

If you can protect yourself, you can simply (along with fellow voters) abolish the police. Once they stop getting paychecks, they will go home peacefully.

Without private gun ownership, abolishing the police would be too painful because you'd be at the mercy of the strongest criminals. Private gun ownership at least affords some protecting while you reform.
The human behavior factor has changed dramatically with the introduction of social media. People react very differently to information when it’s a constant unfiltered stream, when in the past it was more of a daily update of (somewhat) vetted information. Social science is still grappling with how social media has affected human behavior.
Sure, but I think this was a more general discussion and not a personal annecdote.

That's because Firefox for iOS is really just a skin around Safari's WebKit-based engine, because Apple plays the evil gatekeeper on their app store and doesn't allow Firefox to use their own rendering engine. (Chrome on iOS is also effectively just a Safari wrapper.)

It's one of the many reasons I think iOS is a horrible choice for a privacy-conscious user.

Firefox for Android supports extensions.
I acknowledge and accept your choice to opt-out.

For future, please consider your local-most issues, policies, politics. I guarantee you will have an impact.

Ages ago I got worked up about a pet issue, became an activist, then graduated into politics, then policy.

Retail, local, face-to-face politics and policy isn't anything like what people assume. It still sucks, because politics.

But it's also amazing. My org does endorsement interviews. Dozens every year. Meeting and talking to judicial candidates, ranging from local to state supreme courts, has been the best civics lesson I've ever gotten. For example.

And I've also had the chance to support many up-and-comers, some who will surely become Representatives, Senators, and Governors. And they've heard progressive views on election integrity and voting rights from someone they know and trust, during their formative years.
I would most like to work for myself. I would enjoy running a small farm. I'm tired of the company politics and BS.
This argument is the best I found here, doesn't pander to emotions.

But Trump even clarified he meant that this is what he thought it would happen, and it did happen.

We could pointlessly argue if he did mean that or if he was trying to cause violence.

I'm not sure we should censor someone based in what we think the person meant for it.

I still think this is all nonsense caused by a sensitive topic, nonsense being calling for Trump to be censored.

I am arguing if he should be censored and people are responding as if I think people should be killed for protesting.
Pre-built binaries are provided on the releases page[0] of the repo. It's not a single-binary program, so they're all together in a .tar.gz.

The author has a page[1] on the comparison to Nix/Guix. The gist of it is that "these simplifications range from less code, fewer commands, no C++, no monads, no lazy functional programming, no glibc."

I had the predecessor game, F-19 Stealth Fighter. It came out before the F-117 was officially revealed. Those "assassination" style missions were always my favorite for the reason you cite. You had to sneak in and take out the target, but once you did you got lit up and had to evade the now very angry air defenses.

I have mixed feelings about the quote, at least as far as I understand it or have heard it interpreted.

Specifically when it comes to systematic change, be that in a code base, a companies organisation or a countries political system. The mindsets of people go trough the spectrum of such systems being as easy to change as snipping a finger (and that doing so is a good idea) to it being impossible or dangerous so you should not even try.

From my perspective, pretty much anything can be changed in any direction. But it might take enormous effort to do so, way more than one could do alone and I might not even be around anymore when the change "finishes". While I could think of a hundred things that I would like to change or actually resist change, I only have the time and energy to focus on one or two at a time.

So for me, having overworked myself in the past, it boils down to consciously think of what I should and can burden myself with, when I should give up something and what the realistic outcomes are to find a good mix between ambition, effectiveness and health.

The Tesla Model 3 can charge at up to 250 KW on a 75KWh battery. That does drop significantly at higher charge levels, but the battery in a van like this should also be significantly higher and the period of time required is significantly shorter.

Does it really require a lot more than 300KW to stop a UPS truck on an average start-stop (traffic light or stop sign) situation?
The AI part are:

- Business name generator

- Slogan generator

- Logo maker

- AI heat map generator (given a mockup of website, analyzes where users potentially would look at)

- Content generator https://zyro.com/ai/content-generator

I can see logo maker and content generator proving to be very useful for 'mom and pop' websites; quite practical use of 'AI'.
Bitwarden is nice for personal use, but after a failed implementation at our company, and their frankly horrible support. We ended up canceling the whole thing and going back to the market to find new options.

Biggest beef with bitwarden, aside from a frankly odd pricing structure, is "shared contacts" which aren't shared, if you "share" a contact, you transfer it to control of the group you shared it with, and then its shared with you.

this means the contact is no longer backed up when you make a backup, and if it is removed from the group you shared it with, you loose it forever, and don't have a backed up version to restore.

I'm hoping they fix this, and get more than 1 person to handle their tech support.

taking your question in good faith, it's not literally taking the same people and changing their uniforms and job duties from one day to the next. it's taking the funding for cops-with-guns and reallocating that to civics officers with knowledge and charisma.

civics officers would encourage civic knowledge, pride and engagement, and would only be enforcers at the thinnest of margins. they'd teach people about how government works and and what help is available, rather than being antagonistic.

also, investigation--solving harder, bigger crimes--should get more resources relative to enforcement, which tends to be directed at insignificant crimes of (opportunistic) desperation rather than crippling, serial crimes like corruption and embezzlement.

it's a focus on encouraging trust and cooperation rather than safety and paranoia.

Umm. Language is not an immutable construct. It evolves. I can agree that words have meaning that has certain amount of life in it. For more recent example, think of how word gay changed.

We use words to communicate. If you use words that are misunderstood by your potential audience, is it their fault for having different internal definition of a word or yours. You are trying to traslate your world into theirs.

edit: phrasing of gay word example
I've used Org-Trello [1] in the past to sync an org file with a Trello board. I did this for a few semesters to quickly move all my homework assignments into Trello. Obviously this is an Emacs mode; if you're a Vim veteran, you can always use evil-mode to get the Vim keys in Emacs. YMMV

It's in a set of a couple of other requirements, which they only want one of, and one of the others is "STEM degree from a top 15 school."

The irony is this is exactly how the hiring criteria at some big tech companies looks. They either take people from top schools or people with otherwise impressive accomplishments. Though the rest aren't nearly as transparent about it.

I'm reminded of that time I got an after-work part-time job at a higher-end sports store. At first they might not have wanted to hire me for being overqualified and leaving, but they had trouble hiring anyway so there I was. They provided a full week of training on textiles and other things I found fascinating. Surprisingly, it was actually quite enjoyable. I just talked to customers about products and things and there was really no preparation or follow-up after the day is done.

The only stressful parts were getting there on time after work (because I tend to linger at work doing that one last thing) and the parking tickets because it was so limited and some spots required top-up payments (before apps). I ended up in tennis-wear because a mature person giving frank opinions of how things look on people (mostly women shopping) seems effective. Anyway I lasted longer than most of the younger hires and gave it up part way through the winter because driving/parking in that was just too much. Maybe something like that but outdoors might be a great thing to try.
