> It's possible for most people coming from bad financial situations.

I know this probably applies to almost nobody, but it's something I haven't seen discussed openly before:

If you're a completely average person in the US. Not a minority, coming from a middleclass family. But your family doesn't want to just hand you money -- you're kind of fucked.

There's something called "Expected Family Contribution". The country has decided that everyone's parents are just going to give away their money to their children.

> Eligibility for need-based financial aid is determined by a formula that subtracts the student’s expected family contribution (EFC) from a college’s total cost of attendance. This determines financial need. The equation looks like this: (cost of attendance – EFC = financial need).

So if your parents are say, by-your-bootstraps capitalists, and they go "Get a job bum, you want something, go work for it." then you're shit outta luck.

I applied for financial aid and I was denied.

"Your parents make too much money."

"Well, that's nice for them. I don't live with my parents and they have no interest in financially supporting me, so can't you calculate it from my $8/hr wage?"

"No, sorry. You can try waiting to go to college until you're no longer considered a dependent."

I'm not trying to make this out to be a sob story, but if you're a completely unremarkable individual without family contribution, your only way in is debt. And not even reasonable debt, that you could work a regular job and pay off in a few years, but obscene debt.
I don't use a lot of shredded cheese, but grated is harder to avoid.
My email is a domain hack spelling my name using a three letter ccTLD. You’d think telling people my email address is just my name with the a circled and a dot between the e and s, but you’d be wrong. Way wrong. It’s a cool address at least...

I think the solution is for individuals to choose a purpose to life that is not selfish or destructive; i.e., something good more than pleasure, power, or attention. I have written extensive suggestions with supporting detail, for whether one is religious or not, I hope in a skimmable way at my simple-tech site: http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854588981.html

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, they actually lock people out asking for an government ID[0] (AFAIK not necessarily yourself in the photo).

I also know someone who wanted to change their last name (their current one is already fake) and the system didn't let them without sending an ID.

> How do you go from pervasive single-parent households to consistent two parent households?

I can’t. I’m a white dude and completely outside that experience, to the point that I would have to drive more than an hour to get somewhere it’s happening.

I believe cultural is by and large a result, not a root cause. As a society we must identify the causes of the negative culture, work to change those things, wait, and modify our approach based on observation as time goes on.

In terms of concrete ideas I would say:

1: judicial reforms. All else being equal, Blacks receive longer sentences than Whites. Stop that, through any means necessary. For the immediate future, the President and state governors should look for Black offenders in particular that are serving time and grant clemency and pardons as appropriate.

2: legislative reforms. Crimes that are predominately committed by Blacks have harsher prescribed punishments. Cocaine possession versus crack cocaine possession is a great example of this. Mandatory minimums should be significantly reduced or eliminated. We should consider some means of reducing the latitude that judges have for determining sentencing.

3. social support. This doesn’t have to mean the government spending tax dollars - it could, and that could be effective, but I’m sure you can infer from my username that that’s not what I want to happen. The biggest thing here would likely be the people who “made it” staying involved in their local communities. A child who grows up seeing all of the adults around them either struggling to survive in a dead-end job, incarcerated, or actively involved in criminal activity and apparently better off for it has the deck stacked against them.

I live in a poor, rural area. I take every opportunity I get to show kids what I do, how I got here, and what it would take for them to take a similar path. AFAIK, that’s simply not happening in most poor Black communities.

I use AIMP. It's great. One big plus for me: It can play my Youtube playlist.
One of the things which always surprises me is the various permutations of the burger that exist. I pondered at one point the success of Five Guys. And if someone pitched to me as an imaginary investor a newcomer to the field would I buy into it. I had thought my answer being "no, that I can't imagine another variation of a burger being successful". But man there's still so much of a parameter space with permutations and combinations I could not imagine myself that there could still be success in other burger variations. The Habit, The Counter, Five Guys, Smashburger, ... (sure I'm leaving some out). Wow, it's been like a burger Renaissance, who'd have thought.

BetterPlace was a rent seeker that lobbied to limit ability to use other service providers including for example the home charging station. They lobbied to have the home chargers regulated so that only they could provide it.

They also spent money on useless operations and had serious internal politics. They were financed and controlled by a known rent seeker and shouldn't be taken as an example for what the technology can or cannot do
agreed, cultural and intellectual wealth is far more valuable than material wealth. Take the Jewish people for example, the reason they can go from one place to the other with no material wealth and still come out on top is probably due to their inherited cultural/intellectual wealth.

I have to say, I loved Theme Park more than the author did. Even at the age of 12 (I think?) when I got it I understood the cynical take it took on the whole industry and found it endlessly entertaining. I haven’t replayed it since (and judging by the article, won’t!) but I’ve got a lot of happy memories. By comparison Rollercoaster Tycoon never grabbed me, despite the fact that I enjoyed Transport Tycoon a lot. It just didn’t have the spark Theme Park had.
It really does remove multiple layers of complexity that usually stand between your mental model of what your transformation function should do and the code that actually implements it. With Specter if I can clearly articulate the transformation I want to do on a data structure, then I can almost always translate that one-to-one into the code that does the transformation.

When I started using it in one of my existing projects I was able to completely eliminate a few needlessly long and complex functions that were littered with comments and calls to helper functions. In their place are functions that are about 5 lines of code that barely even need a docstring because it's readily apparent what they do just by looking at the source.

But capitalism bad!

Seriously, though, I wonder about folks who are incapable of imagining a duality of goals: both earning profit and maximizing guest happiness. It's not nasty or cynical to earn a profit if doing so involves improving the well being of others.
You called it "taking something you know you're not supposed to take", and the thread has been responding to the "taking something" part alone.

Whether or not I believe it's the right thing to do seems like it'd depend on how much respect I have for copyright law, and whether any harm it causes is sufficiently abhorrent to me according to my personal ethics.

The economic argument is part of assessing the harm it causes.
I'd be curious about what you mean by software experience. Presumably oculus home gets replaced, but is the performance of things like tracking noticably different?
The notion that "[financial] investment and [financial] return" are the only two factors worth considering in "all systems of any kind" is an artefact of capitalist thinking.
That's one of the awesome things about software. You can have a grand idea for something, actually spew it out into reality, and then actually use it and see lots of other people use it, often for very little cost on your part besides some time and effort. I'm sure many people of long past would be like "shit, you all are so lucky" if they saw what we could do, and I think there's a pretty good chance we'd say the same of our distant future descendants (barring all the standard hypothetical catastrophe caveats).

It's almost like magic, except limited by what software can actually affect. You can't compile "ship.rs" into an actual ship. But in 100 years I think more of the borders between software and hardware/meatware will start to blur.
The average American is most certainly not writing poetry or building space craft.
I;m not saying it is impossible, just interesting. One option could be to suspend these reactors on cables from above. That might let them swing around all they want during even a huge quake. The water would act as the dampener. Not much extra engineering required.
You should set up youtube-dl on your machine so you can at least download the videos before they disappear. This tool can handle hundreds of websites and has come in handy so many times. One of the many projects I started and never finished was an auto Youtube downloader that you automatically detect when I watch a new Youtube video and archive it to a local NAS. I got tired of going back to an old bookmarked video only to find that it has been deleted either by the author or due to a copyright claim.
Also, during the credits, doesn't the game switch back to Elaine who says something like "I sure hope LeChuck didn't cast a spell on Guybrush"?

GTK 3.99.1 – GTK Development Blog
mostly true. it took me a while to decide, I eventually picked up c++.

modern c++ is very different nowadays, and it keeps evolving fast, to some extent many modern languages are having the same new features, c++ is becoming better and better for each new standard release, and g++/clang++ also keep up with new sanitizer, static analysis, excellent warning optional flags etc, in fact it is now very hard to make those stupid mistakes these days with modern c++ in a good IDE(even vim with the right configuration).

I will keep my eye on rust, I use a few rust utilities myself, but for the heavy duty of my carerr, c/c++ remains to the the top choice.
Leadership isn't interested in cutting military funding generally, so there is no opportunity cost here. I very much doubt there are administrative costs that exceed $15.5 million, certainly not for the next several years.

I'd like to give the engineers and designers the benefit of the doubt, but there are better ways to do what they tried to do.

Somewhere in the engineering hierarchy, some very poor decisions were made.
I think culture and ethnicity are not exactly the same, but I couldn't tell you specifically what the difference is. I don't mean anything terribly specific here, just looking for a convenient way to express the set of things that are different between one group of people and another, aside from the political borders they happen to live within. as a weird example, if china conquered half of france, we would still consider the people that lived there to be french, not chinese. if a single chinese family moved to france, we would probably consider them to be french after a certain number of generations. but if many chinese families moved to france and integrated with the existing society, we would consider that society to be not entirely french or chinese, but something new.
Trying to stay at a meta level, this discussion is almost intractable _because_ of the issue of definitions. It reminds me of the SCOTUS 1964 case for obscenity, where one justice notes "I'll know it when I see it" [1] You can look at, say, Western Europe after 700AD or so and see that things are not as good as they were 500 years before, but it's quite arguable which (if any) of those things constitutes a "decline" Charlemagne, after all, was crowned (among many other things) "Emperor of the Romans" [2]

In fact, even during its heyday, the Roman Empire defied defied definitions. Were you Latin? Roman? A citizen? These and other terms all meant different things as the civilization progressed. There was almost a determined effort to keep shifting definitions around such that the Roman Empire never died. In fact, IIRC, there's a 60 Minutes segment where they interview some Greek monks living on an island. The flag they're flying? The flag of the Byzantine Empire, of course. (Also, the word "byzantine" is mostly our own invention. They considered themselves thoroughly Roman)

Having said all of that, it's completely obvious to any outside observer that major changes occurred, many of which had a negative impact on the population. So something happened. Until one starts in with definitions of what exactly constitutes a valid OEM part for our Theseusian ship and what doesn't, folks are free to completely ignore the discussion, no matter how bad things get.

Unsolicited advice, so take it with a huge grain of salt:

You should leave. You should go somewhere your skills and experience are valued, and you should advise your non-white colleagues to do the same.

How is your social network? I’m also posting using a nominally anonymous username, but if you’d like I’ll set up an email so we can get in contact. My own network isn’t as strong as I’d like it to be, but my employer is hiring and if you’re remotely a good fit for what we do I can at least get you past the initial hiring filters and ensure you’re considered. Let me know.
You forgot "6. Sell all underlying shares and calls before everything collapses". At some point, market makers shouldn't be able to sell you more calls. That's when you dump.
It's not even clear from their wording if you can play original music live. Did they not even think of that possibility?
They tell anemics to stagger intake of certain nutrients so your body doesn't have to choose between iron and other things, such as calcium.

They're also told to put ascorbic acid on all of their iron sources as it enhances absorption. Get some lemon juice on that fish.
If you do address multiplexing the obvious way, it will slow down your memory cycle since you need two steps to load the address. The solution in the MK4096 memory chip was you first load the row address and the memory chip starts accessing the row of 64 bits. While that is happening, you load in the column address. That should be loaded at about the same time the 64 bits are ready to select. The column address then selects the one bit you want out of the 64-bit row.

The result is that you can avoid the speed penalty of address multiplexing, but it requires careful timing, latching, and two separate internal clocks.

Does it require less coalition building, or are they just better at it? It never made much sense to me that a pro-choice/drugs/guns/prostitution libertarian from Nevada would vote for the same team as the social conservative corn farmer from Nebraska who wants to implement a Christian theocracy, yet when push comes to shove they seem to ignore each other and vote for the same party. I don't know how to explain that, other than Republicans are effective at pandering to two mutually incompatible philosophies at once.
There's a fucking paywall on this article! it should be banned from here.
The ban isn't about the sale of oculus quest. It's about all oculus devices.

Facebook said all oculus devices would need a facebook account. I know this statement is overly broad and not (exactly) true but this is the nightmare scenario oculus users are dreading.

Facebook said there were caveats and exceptions. For example, if you bought it before date x then you don't need to create a facebook account, etc... The german privacy commission isn't convinced facebook would/could separate the purely oculus created facebook accounts from their normal accounts.

Now it becomes a coupling issue. Apparently it's illegal in Germany and I know this is illegal in Belgium. And if I took a guess it would be illegal in most countries in the EU.
It's much easier to pirate the content and have a single source of media than trying to figure out which pay service a show/movie is available on.

I think the GP misspoke when they said "option traders". Market makers want to be delta-neutral -- they don't want to care whether the underlying goes up or down, since they buy and sell both puts and calls and profit from the bid/ask spread.

Your description is right(-ish) for directional traders.
Why would you want that?
That is the last thing I want.

I want more, a lot more viable operating systems than we have ow. Now is a sad place to be.

Linux was never created to be a modern operating system.

Parts in Windows NT -> were derived from VMS, though more and more of it removed. Some parts were removed and had to be reinvented (WSL).

Bacm in the days, you could pick different hardware you could pick different oses (often tied to specific hardware).

I liked Atari ST TOS/GEM. I thought it was way ahead of its time.

I did not think that PCs in the beginning of the Atari STs were even comparable. Lots of peple loved the Amiga, great machine. Some people had the Archimdes. (ARM).
You had Macs with PowerPC. Lots of choice and lots of competition.

Now you buy a computer of a specific design with little direct competition, though that is improving now.

And you can pick between Linux or Windows.

A single computer architecture.
A singe choice +1 for operating systems.

I would really want to own a POWER powered Linux machine
but the are tragically expensive.For the most part they
do share the same architecture still.

On mobile, we have Android or iOS.
Android has a lot of shared architecture for obvious reasons
and iOS most certainly does.

It is like the American election, which white geriatric misogynists would you like?

Linux is fully geriatric.
WindowsNT is getting there too.

Can we please have a couple of teenage operating systems?
Some new viable babies?
> VMS, which is what the article is about,

Interesting then that it barely mentions VMS.
It's funny that when using cloud storage (like S3) the probability of me losing my data due to a billing issue or user error is way higher than any underlying technical risk. It's like being afraid of dying in a plane crash but seeing no issue riding a motorcycle to the airport.
The charge against coupling is valid.

I had almost given up ever using FB last year, perhaps logged in briefly once a month.

It acted as a control processor with a lot of different roles. For instance, it could handle the interface signals between an external computer and a piece of HP test equipment. Or it could process button presses and control the display. Or it could parse ASCII command strings. With an external 74181 ALU chip, it could even compute error percentages in a voltmeter.
I use C11 atomics pretty regularly. While lock-free data structures are tough to get right, there are other uses of atomics that are easy. For example, portable lock-free multithreaded statistics counters.
