At what point just investing in a Linux distro for your employees makes more financial sense? I have similar issues with docker-on-mac where it keeps using 100% of my cpu (https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3499) because of which my 2 year old Macbook's screen has started dying due to overheating so much (https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/567125/Horizontal+line+o...

It would be better if the corporate developers just moved onto Linux Distros. The software and hardware quality is 99% there already.

Hah, yeah you have polls in France right after the war where people say Russian contributed the most in WW2 to polls now saying the US contributed the most. At the rate this is going, people in the future will think Russia was an Axis power.

I use both the "official" and the "insider" versions or various workstation in my home office. I typically don't see a difference between them (accept for remote container development).

That said, the insider version (the one I use primarily) is updated "a lot" like basically every day, sometimes twice a day. This requires a rather large download (at least large per my remote location internet) followed by a second rather large download in each of my dev containers to install the VSC remote server.

I like the editor and find I now use it more than Sublime which surprises me, but if you want to use the "insiders" version just be prepared to do a lot of updates. That is probably not an issue if you have cable internet, but for me it is a bit of a PITA

Well if there is an effective technical approach to do that, I'd very well support that effort.

Unfortunately, so far, only Chinese government figured out how to do that. And I think any independent individuals would not want to adopt that...

The problem with plagiarism isn't best characterized as some sort of power struggle between teachers and students via bullshit assignments.

The purpose of learning to write is to make yourself a formidable communicator. If you can independently analyze a new topic to learn something new and apply the results of those learnings towards a particular goal, you can be amazingly effective in everything you aim for. But if you plagiarize every assignment you rob yourself of your own training of this critically important competency.

Plagiarizing some work doesn't really hurt the work, it hurts you.
Thanks. But this book seems to be mostly theoretical. I was looking for one with an emphasis on practical/real life problems.
My degree is BS in Business Admin. I do happen to have a minor in CS. I was a photography assistant, a fledgling graphic designer, an insurance agent, a financial advisor, a construction worker, a high school teacher, and, finally, a software engineer. I worked a crappy minimum wage programming job while getting my degree at nights for a couple semesters. I kept it up as a hobby while doing the other jobs/careers and did some websites, some admin portals, and some accounting tools on the side. I put out a resume, got picked up by a recruiter, went on some interviews, and got a programming gig. Roughly ten years later, still developing software.
Indeed, thats what I meant by "No doubt the ones that have had trouble will examine and regroup, maybe some won't", but I can see how some people who are bunkered down get disheartened. I do wonder though if a system that values the lives of its citizens so poorly should be doing a bit of reflecting, though I admire the positive attitude. I also wonder if maybe we're getting it backwards, from a purely darwinian point of view, a damn the torpedoes full steam ahead attitude probably pays in the long run, though it is nicer to live where not every decision is life and death.
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson is a nice read on the history and development of science and mathematics.
I've ordered repair parts for a 1980's Herman Miller from these folks and had a good experience. They also sell reconditioned Aerons and Steelcase chairs. You can get a Leap V1 for $399, or slightly more if you want custom printed fabric.

Don't forget that Aerons come in three different sizes. Here's how to know which one to order:

The most likely remedy would be to split their ads business from everything else.

Make the ads business have to buy search data, and make the search business have to sell search data (and maybe make some money showing ads too).

This would allow other companies to buy the search data and also to try and bid on selling ads next to google searches.
If it had people of different color of skin but all men, would that bother you (no women)?
Or if it had different color of skin but all of them were Christian? ( no other religions)
Or different color of skin but all Canadians would that bother you? (No other nationalities)

As a European I am much more used to diversity meaning national or religious diversity. Still getting used to this notion of it mainly been used in the context of skin color in US.
Of course we know that using master/slave terminology doesn't actually perpetuate harm. But the reason to change it is because a lot of people don't like hearing it or saying it.

It feels like a punch to the gut when I have to hear master/slave being applied to hard drives. It's perhaps a difficult thing to describe if you have not felt it.

I know some of you will think I am being dramatic. I know some of you will flub your lips at it. Yes, I am aware it's just words, and you aren't literally advocating for slavery.

But it really does cause me discomfort to have to talk about masters and slaves.

Maybe that isn't enough justification for you. But I assure you I am not a theoretical person conjuring ways to make the world more PC just to virtue signal. There really are some people who would rather avoid those terms.

The comparison to Freetown Christinia is thought provoking, but the key difference seems to be that Capital Hill has been a trendy part of town with new apartments going up and rents increasing for the last decade, whereas Christinia was originally an abandoned site.

I don't question the resolve or peaceful intentions of the people currently occupying CHAZ, but instead the patience of property managers, local residents, and local businesses (though closed due to COVID-19).
I wonder how this will affect wasm targets. I’ve had relatively few errors when using a Golang wasm but depending on the project they wind up being massive!

I also hate having to serve a separate js file to simuLate the Golang runtime which probably isn’t going away but smaller and more efficient would be a marked improvement!
Exactly, my question essentially is, why do you think the CCP needs propaganda?

There is a persistent desire to suck the funds out of the police force budget and redirect the money to things the community values. This unlike occupy is a tangible goal and if people only elect people willing to give it to them it will happen regardless of what people outside of Seattle want.

The conclusion appears to be, technology frees up time so women can have more kids, older children help raise younger ones so it scales, and grandparents and the village help too so larger-scale cooperation scales more.

I guess I'm struggling to see what's novel about this. It seems awfully well-established that as food supply goes up because of better technology, populations explode (e.g. twentieth-century Africa) like happens with literally any species anywhere.

and a job well done is its own reward right? i think it's very pretentious to say that to a person who's attending school in order to improve their lot in life (because credentials count for so much); that what's more important than the credential is some abstract notion of improvement. you might as well cast it in terms of sin and salvation.

I've sat in the various IKEA chairs at my local store, and while they're stylish, I wouldn't want to be in one for more than a couple of hours. There truly is a difference between them and chairs in the $400-800 price range that makes spending the extra money worth it.
I suspect you don't have much experience with high end chairs.

I spend 12+ hrs a day in my chair, so it's 100% worth it to purchase a nice one since a large majority of my life is spent in it.

Advice I've always followed: don't cheap out on things that separate you from the ground - shoes, mattress, chairs, tires, etc.

I haven’t heard of anyone persistently compromising iOS for quite a long time. Regardless, your links do point towards iOS having issues with security, but they still don’t support the claim that you shouldn’t use it for online banking. The fact is that an exploit chain of that caliber would still require hundreds of thousands of dollars and nobody is going to leverage on of those to part you from a couple thousand dollars–it just wouldn’t make sense. Those kinds of vulnerabilities are almost exclusively aimed at individuals or small groups of people for generally political motivations.

My configuration meets all of those requirements except I'm using the mainline Chrome browser. Is it really specifically Edge? Because edge is just the chrome browser engine internally now.

There's a whole class of formal logic systems that accept "a and not a".

They are called Paraconsistent Logics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraconsistent_logic), which allow contradiction without explosion.

Ideal for mathematically representing the kind of reasoning that bubbles up from contradictory positions and goals as you described, where organisations manage to do sane things anyway, sometimes!

The problem is that these people will plagiarize their previous employers' code when working on your codebase and your code when they move on to their next employer or will also plagiarize FOSS code without worrying about the niceties of licensing. Their perceptions are one thing but the legal reality makes these sort of people hazardous to employ.
I've graduated from this university with a bachelor's in Computer Science last year.
Overall I had a good experience. I found the curriculum to be on a weaker side. I was interested in various things about computers when I was young, so it felt like I knew half of the material.
While studying, I was working at the company part-time. At the normal study pace, you should be ready to put up to 30 hours per week when taking 2 courses. In reality, it took me half of that time. Usually 10 hours per week. Some people with whom I've studied had a full-time job.
I guess its a tradeoff. You have a less rigorous curriculum but you then have more time to pursue other interests. Closer to the end of the studies I quickly found a full-time job in a good company locally.

The tuition-free part is more of a marketing. At the end of the day, it cost me $4,060 for the whole degree which is quite reasonable.

Speaking of employment and red flags, from LinkedIn I know that those who had studied at UoPeople work for many big companies including FAANG. No problem here.
> It seems like thusfar the city council has done a good job at striking a balance;

I'm not from the area, but the sheer amount of anger and enthusiasm that has fueled these protests suggests that the city council has not been striking an appropriate balance.

Happy middle class people don't tend to riot and try to start new societies.
The worst thing is you end up normalizing failure - nobody even bothers checking whether it's a "real" failure until it's failed a few times in a row. At that point you might have introduced other test failures which nobody noticed, or someone might have built on top of the broken code, making a fix harder, and so on and so on.
Fine, but the good has been exaggerated too. Some people who heard about this were able to read a book or two for free during a time when everyone was stuck in their house. That's a good gesture that I'm sure was appreciated, but they didn't change anyone's life here.

And it was a gesture that was not theirs to make. Did they ever consider just asking the publishers for permission? They might actually have gotten it. Companies were quite eager to do things to show they were trying to help back in March and April. But I've looked and found nothing saying they asked, so I'm guessing they didn't. Probably because they thought asking would look bad if they were told "no" and did it anyway.

This depends how you pronounce 'h'. If you pronounce it "aitch", then "an HTTPS" is correct. If you pronounce it "haitch", then "a HTTPS" is correct. There's no universal pronunciation, and therefore no universally-right answer.
I've had my Embody for just over 10 years now. It's been great, but the back doesn't go vertical enough for me (it's fantastic for slouching though). The plastic "springs" are starting to squeak with age. If I had it to do over, I'd have gotten an Aeron.
I wonder if the tests are even serving a purpose at that point? If they can't reliably answer the question "did I accidentally break something" in a reasonable period of time what's the point?
The cost of S3 for any small to medium sized project is so minuscule you’re not really giving amazon much money. Especially if you compare it to using EC2 or another VPS provider like digital ocean
That's a pretty funny anecdote. :) I am in the middle of a moderated dirty cut [0] right now myself and here's what I've noticed:

* I'm the one who feeds our cats. And they also end up losing weight when I'm on a cut, even though I didn't intend for that to happen.

* I randomly find myself surfing Japanese euro-foods photos on IG, creating screenshot collections on my phone, and sending them to family members who love food.

* I have to act more like the traditional/archaic effeminate archetype or I'm screwed--I have to compensate for the harshness somehow. So I'll spend more time making art, listening to music I like, going easier on my body, loving on pets, etc.

Anyway...you got me smiling, thinking about this stuff. Thanks.

1) Google, thanks to its acquisitions / strategies is actually all over the web, and has a hand in every single part of the ad tech stack (outside of walled gardens). It's problematic

2) As a consequence of #1 (all those Google Analytics install collecting data) and their properties (YT, Search, etc...) they have excellent data on pretty much every one.

As a matter of fact, someone in the industry made a test on Grindr to see what kind of audience quality each player had in the adtech world. Google was the best provider and by a large margin.

It's surreal to see this downvoted to -4 given all I did was rightly point out that the actions of the protestors fall under the definitions of "criminal" and "terrorist".

I've been coming here for some 4 years now and never have I seen this place so unnecessarily partisan. Perhaps a reflection of the current state of society.
I would ask that you reconsider your worldview. Its quite natural to speculate on the demise of the Superpower, because by its nature it is the Country that gets a lot of attention. This doesn't mean that a majority of the non-US peoples are actively rooting for its demise (maybe they are? Its an assertion that needs to be validated, perhaps with polls).

> It's why the never-ending expectations of our national demise and erosion, going all the way back to our formation, have always turned out so embarrassingly wrong. They're wrong now as well.

History has shown us that nearly every civilization that flourished and prospered also managed to vanish over a really short period of time. Societies are a lot more fragile than you would believe. American success is not based on some jingoistic manifest destiny; it is a country that has managed to get its fundamentals right. However, even the best prepared civilization can collapse in short order; its happened before, and there is no reason to believe it won't happen again.
Back then it was the Soviet Union. Together with Nazi Germany it attacked Poland, so it kind of was associated with the Axis until it was attacked by the Nazis.
I have a related experience: a few years ago I built a website for a local music store, and I still do the occasional maintenance task for them. Their gratitude and happiness with the product has made it one of the most fulfilling technical projects I've ever done.

Advantages of being "the technical person" for a non-technical project/business/etc:

- You get out of the insular, one-upsmanship-steeped technical culture

- You can implement things exactly the way you want to

- You're probably much less abstracted away from the people you're actually helping

It's the third thing that I think is most important. In most tech jobs you're either gently swindling your customers through A/B tests and "conversion metrics", or you're doing "tech for tech's sake" which can be fun but ultimately feels empty. It feels really good to directly help real people.
