This isn't a bad list of topics about data structures, algorithms, and software fundamentals, but let's not pretend that computer science has anything to do with most software engineering roles. I studied computer science, and in 30 years, I've hardly used any of it. There were a few jobs where some of the statistics and math were helpful, but in my long career, I've seen very little overlap between computer science and working as a software engineer. Google and other big tech companies use these criteria to filter people out at the hiring stage, but the vast majority of work has nothing to do with any of this stuff.
Qt (and not QT) is licensed under LGPL3 and GTK is licensed under 2 and later. So if you are not compiling a proprietary application on embedded device, it doesn't make any difference.
This is a fundamental issue with how our society allocates resources.

Companies like Google or Morgan Stanley can hire those people and use those skills to generate something like 1 million dollars per year (look at how much money per employee those companies generate). We don't value academic work anywhere near that much.
There's some kind of longstanding bug with non-default scaling on Mac apparently. It's great on Linux, but it's hard to get Mac friends to switch over.
> Americans buy way more large SUVs and trucks than the rest of the world, even those with fewer than three kids

Having had two kids in the age where they needed large car seats, trucks are no help at all and even fairly decent sized SUVs don't handle more than two well. Car seats for young children are a significant issue, and I suspect almost anyone whose had two or more children under the current safety regime would both recognize that fact and likely consider it before intentionally having a third.

> From a pure financial standpoint, I'd look more to the cost of education, healthcare, and housing.

Young children don't necessarily have a big impact on housing costs (they can share some easily), often because of the structure of health insurance costs don't have much impact on healthcare costs after the first, and education costs are largely deferred if you aren't going private/homeschool. Day care costs / career impacts are probably more significant than any of those given the frequency of two-working-parent families, but car transportation logistics are quite palpable.

(“Source”, have two kids under 5.)
Another way of looking at it is, marketing influences consumers so much stronger than reality does, so the obvious answer - buy less - gets muddied by people cycling through non solutions because it is more profitable.
This is an algorithms crash course for people interviewing at Big N.
I would say the problem is that there is a big gap between affordable consumer goods and unaffordable things like housing. That makes saving on little things like coffee shops seem pointless, as you are still not going to save nearly enough to make a difference when it comes to buying a house.
> * Update 7/18/06 * You have to give the California Department of Motor Vehicles (the DMV) credit for creativity on this one. A DMV insider has disclosed to me that the DMV has made a formal request to a federal agency to rule if my Beetle constitutes a threat to national security based on what could happen if it got into the wrong hands. This raises three questions in my mind: #1 Does this mean I’m the right hands? #2 If someone with the name "b_laden13" is the highest eBay bidder for my Beetle can I refuse his offer even if he has the prestigious eBay Red Shooting Star feedback rating (the highest)? #3 Would this affect my eBay rating?
Vercel is the company and the product. Now is the old name of the product. It's been thoroughly re-branded. If you go to now.sh it redirects to a page on vercel.com with no mention of "now". The command-line tool is "vercel", aliased to "vc", and it is configured in vercel.json (no longer now.json). If you go to GitHub and look at the repos containing with "now" in their name, they're archived or deprecated.

The idea is to protect lighter weight occupants who are wearing seatbelts; they're not particularly reliable in the case that someone has yanked the seat belts tight on a car seat that is sitting on the seat bottom.

Whatever the US did was not near permanent lockdowns, what is allowed to continue and be opened is more lenient than almost every country. The only countries with less restrictions than the US are opened exactly because they did a lockdown and kept the virus at bay. What kills the US economy is the virus being out there and making people afraid to get together into public settings.
Originality imposes no attempt at either agreement or disagreement. Suggesting that a person must either agree or disagree (forced dichotomy fallacy) to achieve any desirable outcome misses the point. It is a solution not wanted.
Really depends on your priorities.

If you just want to HODL as securely as possible, then you don't need a hardware wallet. Just generate a BIP39 seed from a high-quality source of entropy and derive an address from it. Then lock the seed away somewhere very safe. (My recommendation is to generate the seed by hashing a reasonably-long passphrase together with one word that you never write down anywhere. Then store the passphrase in a few places: password manager, piece of paper in a safety deposit box, etc.) When it comes time to finally withdraw, you can buy a hardware wallet then, or use cold wallet software on an airgapped laptop.

If you need to withdraw from your wallet regularly, then a hardware wallet makes more sense. Any of the big names are fine, honestly, unless your threat model includes "evil maids" (sophisticated attackers who have physical access to your device). AFAIK the only viable attacks against major hardware wallets are evil maid attacks, wherein someone either tampers with the device, or measures its power consumption while you're using it, or replaces the client software on your computer/phone with a malicious version. So if you're worried about that, you should spring for the most paranoid option that's still user-friendly, which in my opinion is the Passport.

Two more things to note. First, you probably don't want to be using your hardware wallet for most crypto transactions. Instead, set up a second, lower-security wallet (e.g. an account on cash.app) with a maximum balance, and top it up with withdrawals from your hardware wallet as needed. Importantly, this means you'll never have to carry your hardware wallet around with you; it can sit safely at home. Second, if your hardware wallet breaks, you're screwed, so you still need to back up your seed somewhere secure. That's why if you just want to HODL I recommend not bothering with the hardware wallet -- it won't save you much effort.
Here's an article about one of the solutions: https://na.panasonic.com/us/trends/confronting-votings-new-n...

Basically they compare the ballot signature with the one used on your license. Not everybody has a license, so I'm guessing there is more to it than just that. Probably something in regards to the voter registration itself.

Also - in the video that RG cites as proof that they counted some ballots more than once, I believe they are actually re-scanning signatures. The machine in the video pretty much looks exactly like the one this article refers to.

Hmm,

Honestly that doesn’t really clarify it for me.

If the broader problem is:

“network technologies encourage our tendencies toward runaway group think and villainization due to their effect of disinhibition”

Then Facebook is by far the most significant manifestation of that, followed by YouTube and Twitter who are also criticized a great deal.

What would it look like to address this broader problem without actually focussing on where it is manifest?

I think I might be able to see more easily what you are getting at if you could give an example of something you see as beyond Facebook’s control, but for which they are catching flak?
What Firejail supports is nested X servers, which are complicated and often buggy. Last I checked Firejail itself only recommended using X11 sandboxing when dealing with hostile situations.

I consider having to use a nested X server, even one capable of forwarding, a huge compromise based on my experience with it.

Anyway, that did not exist before Wayland was even conceived. First of all, hardware acceleration in Xpra has been a relatively rocky story for a long time. Second of all, Firejail didn’t support using it until 2016.

If you want to keep buying borderline Linux-incompatible video cards and running an unmaintained display server, by all means try to jam a security model onto an inherently insecure client-server system to help justify it. As cold as it may be, the world will happily leave you behind. And if you don’t believe me, just keep waiting. Lots of people thought Macromedia Flash would stick around forever, too.

I'm currently working on two, but unfortunately can't post about them yet. Both are lightweight consumer products manufacturing - decent margins, probably good markets, and the kind of thing that can be spun up in a garage (and run from there, for at least a couple of years) for less than a modest new car. Although I've built SaaS startups in the past, I have no desire to do that again until tools and platforms are good enough to eliminate the need for hiring a dev team. I never want to work with an offshore dev group again. (There are some decent ones in Eastern Europe and Central/South America, but I'm done with crappy Asian software!)

> and in 30 years, I've hardly used any of it.

Isn't that similar to people saying "I've never used trig in 30 years"? Isn't the point to train your brain to think in a certain way, more so than actually needing sines and cosines?

For computer science specifically, the goal is to teach you to think in terms of loops, conditionals, recursion and so on. It's to train the muscle more so than memorize specific algorithms or data structures.
Dont move the goal post.
The world wants and needs a medium of exchange, otherwise we are back to bartering fish for sheep skins. All the medium of exchange needs, is to be scarce - people have used conch shells when it served the purpose.

Right now, bitcoin is the best medium of exchange for the modern world. It beats physical stuff like gold, because it can be transferred digitally, across physical boundaries. It beats sovereign currencies, because you don't have to depend on the policies of arbitrary governments.

Bitcoin's scarcity is artificial, but that is a red herring. Bitcoin has the value that it has because the scarcity is real and believable. No one in a position to manipulate the network or protocol (a position that it is doubtful anyone could ever achieve at this point) would stand to gain from 'hacking' it, since that would instantly destroy it.

All that said, yeah, the price rises are probably driven to a large extent by greed and ignorance. But so is a lot of the stock market and other investment vehicles.
It shifts the risk from business to employees without commiserate compensation. For an economy built around risk-reward, why should employees have to assume more risk while their reward remains the same?
For packages like Kubernetes or big data packages one should not use anyone else's builds. I have been finding problems in Cray's modules and eventually we are using our own builds we can reproducibly support using Spack.

The median vehicle in the US is fully capable of seating three child safe seats.

Yes, if you get a Honda Civic you're going to struggle. But sales of sedans are absolutely swamped by SUVs and trucks. The best selling car in America by a long shot is the F-series pickup truck, with about 900,000 units sold. You can easily fit three child seats in it[0]

Oh, the number two and number three best selling vehicles are the RAM 1500 truck and the Chevy Silverado, at 633k and 575k. The Silverado is a bit smaller, but it too will fit three seats[1] across. You have to get to number eight in the list before you find a sedan at all, the Toyota Camry. You have to get to nine and ten on the list before you start finding sedans that would get uncomfortably tight fitting three seats, specifically the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, and even those will fit three if you're careful in your shopping. The top selling car that I'm pretty comfortable you simply could not fit three car seats in is the Nissan Sentra at number 19, with only 184k sales last year.

Now, 184K sales isn't nothing. There are clearly cars sold in America that will not fit three car seats. But the sales of those cars are dwarfed by large trucks and SUVs. In 2019 Ford sold more f-series trucks than the top three sedans combined. And that's before we consider the sales of three row SUVs which can easily fit 4-5 child safe seats in them.

So, if Americans are willing to buy massive vehicles capable of seating three seats safely by the literal millions, how in the world is that consistent with "the cost of upgrading to a car capable of seating three seats is a major barrier to having more children"?

Nah, bundle up tests in 30 day increments. 300 million tests a day becomes 10 million boxes a day. Large, but not impossible.

The main purpose of Bitcoin is not to buy a pack of gum, it's to provide a sovereign store of value with a stable monetary policy.

Bitcoin's energy bills are paid for by its users via transaction fees and inflation. It's a weird form of gatekeeping to single out Bitcoin as 'a waste' when plenty of people create economic waste buying large houses, buying makeup, buying meat instead of grains, etc etc.

If you are concerned about the environment, regulate the creation of energy, not the use of energy. Restricting Bitcoin on environmental concerns will just result in people using more energy elsewhere. But if you mandate that power plants must be X efficient and Y sustainable, the market will naturally figure out how to best allocate the limited energy.
the median says not in 1 game, but let's say each game you start again with £100, and you go ten times, if you play that game over and over, you'll win overall

You wouldn't be delivering 1 test per person per day. You'd deliver a month's worth for a whole household. There's about 52 million households divided by 30 days = 1.7 million packages per day. A 1% increase. I wonder how much of an increase in shipping Christmas is.
>The position of the capitalist class, built on successful class warfare first against the pre-capitalist aristocracy and then against the working classes within capitalism, proves this to be false.

Name me a socialist/communist gov that did any better. Each implementation grew the class divides even more. So far China, I would say, is the most economically viable model due to their opening to international market practice. However, the party still controls it and divvies out the work to a select few. Their social credit system helps them determine who is more worthy by putting people in different categories... oh wait that's just a class system with extra steps.

It's not a capitalist fault. It's a human fault. We've done it for not hundreds of years, but thousands upon thousands. Long before Adam's or Marx parents were a twinkle in anyone's nethers. Finding a scapegoat for problems you dont quite understand and refuse to research beyond a 10min youtube cartoon does not constitute as good logic.

The point is that Tesla is making money, with the people they have heir to do the work and have a path towards self-driving that is not inherently money losing.

Saying that having a single car that is approved for self driving in a single geographic are is far more advanced then millions of cars that can drive with incredibly advanced driver assists literally all over the world is just an incredibly terrible way to measure progress towards the eventual full solution.

Its simply not a way of measuring progress that I is reasonable.

Its because they have a technology platform that simply can't be sold commercially as they are specialized vehicles. Plus these are not system that have been developed to work with a driver, its simply a totally different process of development.
