Basically the national surveillance agency wants APIs with all communication networks, so they can request anything, arguing their automated big data mining will only request data they are allowed to request, by law or warrant. The data providing business should not look into the details what they request, because that would endanger national security.

The FISA courts have a history of signing very broad warrants like "all data related to who talks to whom necessary for national security"

And the agency has argued in the past that they can copy anything anyway because only if a human officially looks at the data in an investigation, a warrant is needed. As long as it is only fully automated machines running big data analysis on it, and no one is looking, such rules do not apply.

And the FISA court pretty much signs any "look into it" order if the machine says "i found something, someone should look into this".

The worst of the worst is that skynet thing: it creates lists of people that are to be targeted by automated flying killer robots. I know this sounds ridiculous. That is the reason why they picked that name.
I actually find using Make on Windows to be really simple. I usually drop a prebuilt make.exe into the project directory since it's just 244kb (http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=make, https://github.com/MarkTiedemann/make-for-windows).

If the Makefile needs to be cross-platform, that's easy to do, too:

```

ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT)

# Windows

else

# *nix

endif

Well now that we’re sending women out there, there’s a good reason to solve it.

I’m sure there are a million other risks for going to the moon, seems a little reductive to say women shouldn’t go because it affects their eggs. They are more likely to die on their trip than if they didn’t go, yet we still send men.

Just like every other issue, we’ll solve them. But we don’t just give up.

I think there is a big difference between this and the parent. If you are working on projects where the "primary language" is Ruby or Python or Elixr than sure, use that, but if your project's primary language is C++, like most embedded applications, you do NOT want to use that.

Any complex or cross-platform C++ projects will need a scripting language in addition to shell and a build system.

It can be fraud against other students. Applicants are told that admissions decisions are based on qualifications. Students pay tens of thousands of dollars for that qualification. They pay $50-100 to apply. Then it turns out that the qualification isn’t real... That admission can simply be purchased. If admissions can be purchased, the the degrees can likely be purchased too. Fraud is a crime.
This is unclear to me too. Maybe by "exclusive" they mean: exclusive from other big-tech companies? The pricing page has not disappeared on my beta.

Here's the real problem: Universities are expensive places to run and need huge resources to build buildings, hire and retain faculty, and other costly endeavors. Hence, the need for donors. Once you have donors, it is VERY hard to avoid this sort of tit-for-tat deal.

The best way to get around the funny business: have a system where students are classified into bins. Be very clear with donors: if a student isn't in the "top bin", they will not get in. However, in that bin, allow the "donor connection" to influence admission.

Is this perfect? No, of course not. But it accepts the reality of the world without perverting it too much. And honestly: can you really predict if one student is going to do better than another because of 1pt on some standardized test?

I like that idea, I have always felt the TODO is something I add while working on a function/feature so I don't forget the edge case.
I have never cared for a TODO representing a work item. Same with a code base littered with comments about fixing bug ###. With out the bug and source control diff how do I know what was part of the fix and when or how it has changed over time via other bug fixes and feature updates.
It's not action being done to them, it's them being unable to sustain themselves.
Who's talking about intervening?

If someone was interested in marrying me until they found out I was Jewish (the closest analogy to my own experience), I would not think that was "fine". Even if I don't know any way to "intervene" in it, certainly not if you mean legally, governments should not be in the business of telling people who to marry.

But if you told me that there aren't power imbalances in marriage decisions so it's "fine" and what am I getting upset about, why is it even worth talking about or commenting upon, I'd think you were an asshole.

I was born in India and grew up in the South Bay Area, which has a big Indian population. I distinctly remember other Indian kids in my elementary/middle school asking me what my caste is. I later asked my parents and they refused to tell me, explaining to me why I shouldn't care. I still don't know to this day, although researching my last name implied rural origins. I am lucky to have immigrant parents who didn't bring this ugly aspect of Indian society with them - those other kids who asked me likely had parents who did, and were imbuing their kids with it from a young age.
> we won't have global communities anymore

We can easily have global communities if social media is based on open standards and transparent data sharing, rather than corporate offerings with jealously guarded, covertly collected, personal data silos.

I'm personally really happy to see these challenges to corporate social media, whether it's TikTok in the US, or Facebook in the EU.
Counterpoint: That makes bad comments take more space in the discussion, which is the opposite of what they are intended to do.

I am not sure why you are arguing. I did not say I know the circumstances of this particular situation. I am not making any claims about the ability of any student to learn and do well in any course. All I am saying is that throwing a bunch of under prepared students into the fire, potentially judged for every action, mistake or attempt to learn is a tough situation to be in. Under these circumstances at least a few people would get demotivated to an extent that would affect their future trajectory in life. It has been shown (in the context of school children) that if everyone around you including the teachers think you are good, you tend to do better than you would otherwise. The opposite would result in worse outcomes is not then a huge surprise. Again I am speaking generally, not saying anything about any particular person's circumstance. What are you disagreeing with here?
Morality and legality are deeply intertwined.

Conflating the fact that some people face basic detainment (which they can leave quickly at any time by merely choosing to return home) for breaking clear laws ... with 'Putting millions of Jews in Gas Chambers' is not helping the cause.

If we are so deeply concerned about 'legality vs. morality' then I'd imagine the very first issue coming to mind would be the issue of Uyghurs being put in concentration camps by the 100's of thousands, possibly millions, for no reason at all, other than the fact they are Uyghur.

Especially those dying, having their organs harvested and sent to Chinese elite. [1] [2] [3]

Their arbitrary detention due to ethnicity, and the conditions imposed upon them, I think make a very good corollary to the Nazi / Jewish holocaust, worthy of intellectual consideration.

>Not overall performance/memory so much as startup time

Is this actually a problem, though? I typically use VSCode as a "focused" text editor; it's for working on a codebase for a long period of time (relatively speaking). A minute or do startup amortized over hours of work is not much of a bother really.

For quick edits, vim is still my go to. Different tools for different needs.
I wish that people referring to Japanese as "the most difficult language to learn..." could add the important caveat "...among major global languages". There are thousands of languages spoken on Earth, and some of them involve complexities that would daunt speakers of English or other Standard Average European languages more than Japanese. As just two examples, I remain daunted by the morphology of Skolt Saami and Nganasan, and Japanese’s inflexion looks easy by comparison.

I am learning Japanese now, actually, and the hardest part is the writing system, but that is really just a matter of rote memorization. (I already learned Chinese years ago, mastering the kanji is just repeating the same process of flashcards, except with the need to learn two readings for most characters and not just one.) Rote memorization of glyphs is something open to anyone with adequate time, but matters of phonology/morphology/syntax might ultimately defeat a learner regardless of how much time they throw at the problem.

> Where we have separate property earthing rods ... these are not permitted to be connected to a TN-C-S supply earth because practically no-one else in the street will have such a setup and then a broken PEN conductor sees your earth rod carry, perhaps, half of that street's supply current, which it could obviously never safely do.

If no one on the street has an earthing rod and the PEN breaks, then all the PE internal wiring of all houses will be connected, via transformers, light-bulbs etc. to the live wire. So every grounded appliance in the area is live. This is such a dangerous scenario that a grounding rod carrying half the current of the street is the least of your worries. All differential protections are also disabled.

Additionally, houses will typically be spread around on a three phase supply with the PEN carrying the disequilibrium current. If PEN breaks uphill from such a distribution cell then you end up with two houses connected in series to two phases, giving a voltage √3 = 1.732... higher than the mains (208 vs 120V in US or 400V vs 230V in Europe). The voltage will spread depending on the resistance of the two houses. So if a house has large consumers it will see a very low voltage, while it's series pair might see a huge voltage spyke. This is an incredibly dangerous scenario from a fire hazard perspective. A similar thing can happen in a 120/240V single phase system.

So, if you want good, solid, safe voltage in TN-C-S systems, a good grounding (preferably less than 1 Ohm) should be connected at the separation point between the TN-Combined supply and your internal TN-Separated wiring. This guarantees your differential protections will work regardless of what happens uphill.

Of course, if this is an uncommon practice in the area and not allowed by local code then that's that. But I wouldn't feel very safe without, at a minimum, a ground fault detection relay (which has it's own mini-earthing rod and detects when PEN floats at a too high voltage), and also a over-voltage protection.

PEN faults are very common, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when. Coaxial supplies are used around here too, with recommended local earthing and mandatory ground fault detection relay if local earthing does not exist. Still, it happens that lighting destroys both the central conductor and the electronic ground relay, yet line voltage still finds a way to shock people (you don't need a very good connection for that). Other times, the aluminum-steel core of the coax breaks down. Other times, idiot electricians work on the network and create PEN faults, exploding all the devices of a certain home by exposing them to three phase voltage.
So the theory is that MSDOS tried to detect if a bootsector contained executable 68k code, because if it did, the BPB was valid and could be used to locate the FAT(s) and the master directory?

That's triply dumb, because of the typo noted in the article, and also because executable Atari ST bootsectors had a checksum that should be computed instead of silly heuristics, but most importantly because most Atari ST disks had no executable bootsector, but the entries concerning disk layout were still valid.

It sounds exactly like the fractal of incompetence Microsoft would implement, and it would explain why we Atarians had to use disks formatted on a PC for data transfer, even though the formats were nominally the same. Funny to read about that, because back in the day, I thought the ST somehow formatted disks "wrong".

Sorry, re-reading my comment I can see that it is likely only to add to the confusion. (The downvotes suggest so also! Apologies all around.)

I meant to make two points. First, that IMO it is misleading to say that a bank simply creates new money ex nihilo when making a loan, counter to what you wrote ("the bank does not need to have $10k sourced from somewhere else"). There is in fact a bound on the amount of new lending a bank can undertake, one related to its assets, and in that sense the money lent does "come from somewhere." My attempt at a (poorly) stylized accounting was meant to illustrate what sort of thing makes up a bank's cash assets and how they relate to lending, but I'll try a new approach below. Second, I was trying to clarify what "bank money" means, to explain how it gets created, as much of the broader confusion in this thread seems to be around what "[bank] money-creation" really entails.

Let me try to make my first point again. In modern banking systems, fractional reserve has been mostly replaced by capital requirements, which limit a bank to holding an amount of (risk-weighted) assets no greater than some multiple of its capital. A bank's capital is its assets less its liabilities, which we'll write A - L. Let's call the regulatory capital multiple M, then capital requirements essentially say that A <= M(A - L). When a bank makes a new loan, its assets and liabilities increase equally in the way you described. That means that for a loan of X, if the lending bank is not already bounded by capital requirements, that the capital adequacy inequality becomes X + A < M(A + X - (L + X)) = M(A - L). That is, the left side of the inequality increases but the right side of the inequality is unchanged, so the capital requirement binds more tightly. In particular, it must be that the loan amount X < M(A - L) - A; in other words, new loans are constrained to be less than the excess of regulatory capital over pre-existing assets. So a bank cannot just create arbitrarily large new loans; loans are constrained by capital, the positive component of which is assets. That's where loan money "comes from": a bank's assets.

The second point I meant to make about bank money-creation was not directed at your comment specifically. But I wanted to point out that "bank money" simply means the sum of all bank deposits, and that it, too, is constrained to be a finite number. In this sense also banks cannot poof into existence arbitrarily large loans (with corresponding deposits) in the way I read your comment to imply.

In a lot of suburban areas the density is such that the infrastructure costs more and the property value is lower (on a per lot basis). The end result is that a lot of the wealthy suburbs will go broke.

If a suburb or ex-urb's liabilities exceed their assets, weren't they already broke? I'm trying to understand because I don't know a lot about this whole issue. But unless they charge people a whole lot in taxes to live in those areas, I'm not seeing how those places weren't poor in reality from the start? It seems to me those suburbs just managed to have other people pay for their infrastructure and services for so long that they never realized they were broke. But maybe there is some other source of money that they get from somewhere?
"New Deal" thats the old deal.

The point of using a SSG and deploying to a static host is that hosting becomes extremely simple. No need for a database, HTTPS included, deploying is just copying files, CDN is already included, and it's either free or very cheap.

If you're ok with editing code files (markdown, html, etc) this is extremely simple to setup. You can even get a template somewhere[1] and just start producing content. Obviously this is only feasible for devs or maybe designers with HTML/CSS skills.

I'd like to add that SSGs can also render dynamic data from an API or directly from a DB at build time.
