Hmm, I think you have some wrong ideas about our tax system. A tax deduction doesn't make it free money. First, you are giving up $10 million to the school. The tax deduction gets you about $3 million (more or less) in tax savings. The donor still gave up a net of $7 million and the school and students still get tremendous benefit. (The precise amounts will vary with tax rates and state, but the point is that a huge portion of the donation is still out of pocket.)

The wealthy person is not "pocketing" anything.

Glad you can defend the totally opposing view well. Respect on the 'knowledgable about the domain' point.

I would argue that there is no more abundant resource than whitespace on computers. Useless comments (usually written after the syntax is written) definitely suck. But in a file with well written comments, you can actually just read the comments alone and understand the code as fast as you could read news headlines.

Another point, the only purpose of code as we know it is to serve as a human-readable translation of machine instruction. To me, the best achievement of that is a document that reads like natural language. After all, wouldn't it be better if we could just describe intentions in common speak and have the computer figure out the details? To me, well thought verbosity in code is a step towards that.
Given the notion of "fluency" proposed by the GP, the idea would be that a "fluent" gamer would not be described with "played only X games". You would be fluent if you could "communicate" in multiple genres -- having a sufficiently thorough vocabulary.

MikroTik users don't have it in stable RouterOS releases either. This is a development ("beta") release for testing purposes.
You mean memcpy instead of memmove? I'm pretty sure that all types of constructors expect `this` to be non-aliased, so the compiler could use memcpy for both move and copy constructors.

I also checked move and copy assignment operators – is it UB to move-assign an object to itself? Based on this very confusing Stack Overflow thread [1], I think the answer is: no, not at a language level, although it might be bad to do it with standard library types. If that's correct, a compiler-generated default move assignment operator would have to assume aliasing is possible and use memmove, same as with copy assignments.

Since you liked Horizon Zero Dawn:

- Witcher 3 brought me back to gaming after a 10+ year hiatus. While not perfect, it's the best/most immersive game I have ever played. Thanks to truly incredible writing, an interesting, engaging world where small side quests are some of the best content, good graphics that still hold up very well (especially with mods on PC, but just fine on console). All built on a foundation of very solid combat and gameplay.

- "Nier Automata" is an unusual experience that smoothly blends very different combat styles and has a mind-boggling, thought-provoking story.
I’ve often thought that if I ran my own company I would have a ban on hiring new grads from certain schools, particularly those like Harvard. Between their racism of denying qualified Asian applicants to accepting giant bribes to let in the children of rich or famous people, there’s no way for a company to to tell whether the credentials mean anything at all.
While I understand that can be a problem, I'm talking about in legitimate propane distribution infrastructure. An example is here: https://www.lpgasmagazine.com/ammonia-contamination-episodes...

From what I understand, the steel tanks are built to the same standards for both gasses, but ammonia is corrosive to copper alloy valves and fittings. Trucks can be built to haul both and don't use copper alloy fittings. Propane only systems (like home heating systems) contain copper alloy fittings, and the valves and fittings can fail.

Yes, I think this argument applies to public sector unions as a whole. I think empirically, teachers' unions (and the postal worker's union, and so forth) have not been so, well, inclined to defend illegal and unconstitutional activity as police unions, so I'm not going to advocate as urgently for getting rid of them, but definitely they're also not quite like private sector unions for similar reasons.

(That said, both public schools and the post office have meaningful private-sector competitors, in the sense that the government can decide that they just don't need to fund so many teachers or postal workers anymore, and systems like vouchers for private schools make it look even more like a private-sector market.)
I don't think this is a fair comparison. It's like complaining that I got in trouble for bribing the guard at the Ferrari dealership to look the other way when I drove off with a Ferrari, while the truly rich are allowed to just stroll in and pay the owner.

The point is not that you mustn't get a college entrance by paying people for it, but that you must pay the right people. If you donate two million to the university, maybe they'll admit your useless child and carry them along. The two million you donated does enough good for the University that the leadership deems it worthwhile to trade. Conversely, if you bribe the coach to lie to the University, then that's you getting something of great value for far less and without paying the appropriate people.

Being against the rich paying their way in is one thing, but this scandal isn't the same thing as that.
It also doesn't even look pretty in the pictures.
Proton is good, but in no measure 'better'. Linux isn't as unstable as everyone makes it out to be. Quite the opposite. Proton still has to work on linux, afterall. If Linux support bitrots quickly, then so does everyone dependent on proton.

There are lots of stable Linux distros running the stable kernel which is 5.8. it is just distros like RHEL that call themselves stable, but are actually antiquated and honestly just give users a bad experience because most of the software is outdated. Wouldn't expect anything less from IBM.

There can be quite a bit of organic material in SWFs that breaks down, although most of that process is completed within ~20 years of being deposited. Modern facilities often incorporate electricity generation plants powered by all of the methane produced from the breakdown of organics. Also, a landfill has a bottom liner that is usually much more robust than the top (a couple feet of clay and a thick membrane) plus leaching pipes to carry away leachate. I don't believe the final cap is intended to completely shed water, but it is meant to divert a lot of it from getting into the landfill.
To be fair, human anatomy hasn't changed much since 2000 either.

What a fantastic link! This era in America's history is so rich with amazing stories, yet hardly ever touched by Hollywood ..

I followed Mother Jones to Industrial Workers of the World, which necessitated a visit to American Federation of Labor, which led to Knights of Labor and Terence Powderly and the Haymarket Riot:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_Riot

Btw, just from the logos and the titles of AFL and KoL, I got the sense that they were masonic in origin. And sure enough, per wikipedia, "[t]he Catholic Church had opposed the unions as too influenced by rituals of freemasonry. The Knights of Labor removed the words "The Holy and Noble Order of" from the name of the Knights of Labor in 1882 and abandoned any membership rituals associated with freemasonry."

LOL at the hand-shaking execs in the logo of AFL. Life is truly stranger than fiction.

I find this to be the most disturbing part. I have done a substantial amount of game development myself on the side, it's how I got into programming originally ~15 years ago. I say that because I find it demotivating sometimes to work on games that I think are fun and non-addictive. My wife will show me some simple addictive game on the phone and ask why I can't just make a knock-off version of that... I could, but at what cost?

Some part of me really wishes that "gambling" in games would finally get cracked down on to level the playing field for the rest of us.

I now have a 5 month old son and that has really amplified my thinking of the future. I will of course educate my children on the dangers of addictive games, etc. but what about others? It's sad, but also classic "think of the children!"

Why would you want to use a closed-source solution for an open-source solution? Zulip, Mattermost, Matrix, Rocket.Chat all seem like more ideal communication and community platforms. There is also Odoo that handles CRM/ERP type solutions.
I’m surprised it’s still alive. I did it 14 years ago and I used that system for a year. It was a great way to learn a lot about Linux fundamentals. If I would do that today, I would try to use some layered FS to capture changes on from install script and archive those changes into rpm package (or at least tar archive), so everything’s under control. I don’t feel good just running make install which could do anything.

Use both. The book will encourage you to work through the notebooks. You can watch the first video and see if it adds anything for you - if it doesn't, skip the rest.

They cover basically the same material. (Except that the course covers only half the book - the rest is planned for a part 2 course later.)
People keep on saying this, but exclusives are not the same thing as a walled garden.

You can install games on your PC from any source, and there are over a half-dozen good games distributors you can choose to shop from or sell on. And if none of them work, you can also just buy directly from the developer themselves.

If Apple allowed multiple app stores and sideloading on iOS, but pulled in a few exclusives (ie, Apple Arcade) and banned Fortnite from its official store, that would be equivalent to what Epic is doing on the PC with the Epic Store.

And that is exactly what Epic wants Apple to do -- it's a completely consistent position for them to take.
Mikrotik's OpenVPN implementation is missing UDP support.
You can properly control a dSLR or mirrorless. You can determine exact aperture, field-of-view, exposure, etc. That's helpful if you're doing any sort of machine vision. Webcams have more controls than normally exposed, but you still can't e.g. swap out a lens for a different focal length.
Do they even have production-ready server software yet? Synapse is not great, and they say Dendrite isn't ready for production.
The USPS is not supposed to be a profitable business, any more than the Army or the State Department or the prison system is. It is a Constitutionally-sanctioned organization, operating under the premise that universal mail delivery is a valid government concern.

To the extent the USPS "has issues," as you put it, it is because Congress has consistently set them up to fail. Congress is free to shut down the USPS or kneecap it if they want, but the executive is not. Certainly not to serve their own corrupt purposes.

Just something else to add to the list of things Republicans would scream bloody murder about if a Democratic president were doing it.
Lowercase D, but also, I'm sorry to break it to you, but where you work has an impact on the world whether or not you see union dues on your paycheck, and if you have the luxury to decide between jobs, you should decide based in part on that.

The whole idea of employment (as opposed to being a founder) is that you take a job that is lower risk and lower reward. Instead of taking home every penny (minus taxes) that your software sells for, you take home some fixed number in your employment agreement, and management (or shareholders) take the rest. If it doesn't sell, management's still on the hook for paying you until they lay you off, but if you work hard and do a fantastic job and write the world's most intuitive and reliable and high-fidelity software for camera boxes on power poles and you make them tens of thousands of dollars a year in sales, they keep the profits. Maybe they'll give you a small bonus.

Now, what do they do with the profits that you made them? Several things, but donating to politicians is probably one of them. Go look up your own CEO's donations and tell me if you mind.
"If we're going to extort our customers we have to do it equally"
I see that it could displace VC somewhat in dollar amount, but there are some serious bottlenecks around filing with the SEC and getting listed to where it'd be prohibitive for a large number of companies to start that way. It's definitely a lot harder, more all-or-nothing, and more time consuming than getting a million-dollar SAFE and building a prototype. And SPACs are also dependent on consuming those "traditional" companies to fulfill their empty promise. What feels most intuitive though is the propagation/decline of SPACs will simply be based on the successes/failures of the SPACs we're watching now. Tech and finance seem to have few mechanisms outside of pattern matching what got their predecessors rich.
This kind of misses the point, which is that the user is the weak link in most personal computing security models. You don't need a CVE on Windows to get malware on the machine; you just need to trick the user into installing your nasty piece of software--perhaps by making it look like something the user wants.

The point of the single-source App Store is that the app review creates a line of defense against such trickery, on behalf of the user.

Yes it's a great combo. I think fastai is the only library that actually has both of these built-in.

However, because the LR warm-up is built-in to Ranger, it's actually a bit more fiddly to use - i.e. you really need to understand what it's doing. It doesn't work great with `Learner.fine_tune` and gradual unfreezing more generally, since you don't really want a full separate warmup for each phase.

So I don't see it becoming the default or main optimizer shown in the course. But it's great to learn and use.

> A problem with this could be unexpected HEAD requests to actual internal hosts: There is no guarantee an internal host that was never meant to receive HEAD requests would react gracefully or in any way predictable to one. I'm not sure how they solve this currently

A perfectly legitimate answer is to not even try. Per the HTTP spec, sending HEAD is supposed to be harmless. If it causes harm, that’s a violation of the spec. I’m sure some legacy server out there segfaults on HEAD, but that’s not a browser vendor’s problem, and it isn’t up to the browser vendor to do anything to try to prevent it. Browsers (not just Chrome) send HTTP HEAD in other scenarios as well. And I think this problem is relatively rare in practice, since one hears few reports of it actually occurring
> the Department of Justice in the US de facto affirmed that the US president is above federal law

Incorrect. DoJ have an administrative rule that a sitting President cannot be charged by them. As for official acts by the government, they’re subject to judicial review. No analogous process exists in China.

> the US State cannot lose in courts, because the US State is the courts

This betrays ignorance of the American Constitutional system. The U.S. government routinely loses in court. Prior rulings are overturned. The legislature is checked. The President stayed.

> under the doctrine of Sovereign Immunity

Sovereign immunity is a courtesy granted to other nations under common law. It does not exist per se and makes no sense to be invoked with respect to a state without the rule of law.

With respect to American courts, the U.S. government has broadly consented to being sued by virtue of the Constitution. To claim sovereign immunity, a creature of the law, limits the legal system is to misunderstand one of the basic tenets of the system.
Yes lots have - it's really common. Check https://forums.fast.ai for many stories. There's also some linked from https://course.fast.ai.

>They need to learn and study other nation's policies and laws to make sure they can continue maintain a society of 1.4 Billion people.

Study, yes. Copy or follow, no. China should stay China. We have enough countries trying to dance after the US tune already.

>Both US and China would benefit from open competition, in general.

Absolutely, but not under US rules or law outside the US. Tiktok should be allowed to collect just as much information as Facebook and Google or more if they want to as as long as it legal. This whole trying to make different rules in the US for foreign businesses is worse than what China is blamed of doing. Chinese businesses have more rules to follow in China than foreign businesses. Exactly the opposite than what the US is doing.

If the US won't do business with Chinese businesses because they are sometimes mixed in with the state they are playing favourites because lots and lots of trade is done with state owned and run businesses from other countries, like Scandinavia. The problem here isn't what China is or isn't doing. It is the colour of their skin and that it isn't the capitalist system the US wants everyone to be.

The difference is that the Ferrari isn't going to affect the rest of your life. It's mostly an ego/luxury item. Maybe it will help you make a sale if you're a real estate agent or something like that, but other than that if you didn't get the Ferrari, your life wouldn't really be affected. College on the other hand is way more important.

I like it. The reason is that sometimes I will see "X is typing...." and it seems to last 5 minutes and I don't know if the app just messed up because they bumped space by mistake and left to get a coffee or if they are actually slowly composing their thoughts in their version of correct capitalisation and grammar.

Breaking it up lets me get to the point quicker than they do, and I'm ready with a reply by the time they're finished (or cut them off when it's appropriate and they're going down the garden path).

The dings are annoying but that's a problem with the chat apps. I turn off sound on my work laptop usually anyway.
