Unfortunately you get this with students at every school. Many are just there to skate by and get a degree. The OP could also just know the material already and had no issue being able to pass as quickly as possible. This is something that is a huge benefit of WGU.

Also for what it's worth I took 8 weeks doing about 10 hours of work a week on Discrete math 1 and found it very interesting. My discrete math notes is a 1300 line org file that translates to a 29 page word doc. This doesn't include the many proofs and problems I practiced on a white board or on my iPad. I completed Operating systems in 5 weeks with about 15-20 hours of work a week. I used Georgia Techs Udacity course on operating systems to supplement my learning.
That's the problem with voting machines. It's not possible to understand what is happening, for everyone.
>Some players expected this to be cyberpunk-themed RDR2/GTA5. It turns out it's nothing like that, it's more like a new Deus Ex game.

I'm flabbergasted by this comment. CP2077 is way more of a cyberpunk-themed GTA5 than I expected or wanted. Admittedly I avoided reading pretty much anything about the game before release to avoid the insane and impossible to live up to hype, but I can hardly wrap my head around the idea that there were people who wanted it to be more like a Rockstar game.
Had the same reaction to corpo path. I think it would actually be interesting to tell a story about that culture from the inside, rather than immediately retreating to the well-trodden anti-corp perspective. For a supposedly ambitious game, it seems entirely uninterested in challenging or evolving the rather tired cyberpunk tropes.

This is where the fine print in economics comes in, things will eventually be balanced by the invisible hand but that's only in the long-term. In the short-term an untold amount of human suffering can occur.

Economics doesn't solve for reduced human misery. To avoid this we would have needed adequate central plans for this event (or rather, a set of people that decided to fund the plans we did have).
Agreed on the biking.

I remember begging my parents to let me bike to school because all the "cook kids" rode their BMX bikes to school and the bike racks were overflowing with kids who were biking to school. I remember being made fun of in the summer for taking the bus instead of riding my bike.

I don't remember seeing bike racks at any of the schools my sisters kids attended.
The genetic test could be helpful. It took me 15 years to figure out that CD was the source of some chronic issues.

The genetic test can rule in / rule out - and when combined with your history would be called a diagnosis by many physicians. I was in your same situation and couldn’t contemplate eating gluten again after understanding life without it.

Someone once asked HN the cheapest way to store lots of media online, and another HNer recommended hotlinking Blogger for images. They pointed out some major manga site hotlinks every single one of their comics and doesn't host a single image them self.
That's sort of why I started this thread. The products I work on have some strict requirements on who is allowed to see them and whatnot. So I would want to share a space with friends but they can't see what I'm working on. Hence, individual cabins. I'm curious to see how it goes with your friends, sounds fun.
This website does not seem credible at all judging from the headlines of all the other stories.
But when you set out to do that you first have to make sure they really are identical, and since everything from indentation to names often differ it might not be so automatic. And then you do find differences, and you have to figure out if they are there by accident because someone forgot to implement a fix or a change in some places or if the differences are intentional.

On the other hand, if you realise your abstraction was bad, duplicating a function is always trivial.
How is this and grandparent so heavily downvoted without proper replies? Seeing this a lot in this thread.

I feel like the unspoken difference in this thread is between people who have IO/business in their view code, and people whose taste is to strongly separate them, leaving component state for strict view modeling like animation timers, etc. I had this difference with my former tech lead.
I'm surprised I searched this whole thread and didn't see a single mention of NVIDIA! It seems everyone wants either Intel or AMD to pivot to ARM64 (very unlikely) in the server space. But with NVIDIA's $40 billion purchase of ARM -- I wonder what they're cooking up?

I think a high-performance ARM64 CPU from NVIDIA with an on-die GPU would be a great offering. In many benchmarks it's actually the on-die GPU that makes the M1 so much faster. A general purpose on-die GPU would help speed up a lot of low and mid-level cloud workloads, especially with native kernel support.

Good luck, NVIDIA. And godspeed!
Indeed. What kind of person would use an environment in a way it wasn't intended to be used, especially for their own intellectual curiosity?

There should be a word for people like that...
It would be great as 80% of the submissions here would be marked spam and I could simply filter them away
Elon Musk once discussed why air launch from planes was not a good idea, and his criticisms apply to Rockoons as well.

“seems like...you're high up there and so surely that's good and you're going at...0.7 or 0.8 Mach and you've got some speed and altitude, you can use a higher expansion ratio on the nozzle, doesn't all that add up to a meaningful improvement in payload to orbit?

"The answer is no, it does not, unfortunately. It's quite a small improvement. It's maybe a 5% improvement in payload to orbit...and then you've got this humungous plane to deal with. Which is just like having a stage. From SpaceX's standpoint, would it make more sense to have a gigantic plane or to increase the size of the first stage by five percent? Uhh, I'll take option two.

"And then, once you get beyond a certain scale, you just can't make the plane big enough. When you drop...the rocket, you have the slight problem that you're not going the right direction. If you look at what Orbital Sciences did with Pegasus, they have a delta wing to do the turn maneuver but then you've got this big wing that's added a bunch of mass and you've able to mostly, but not entirely, convert your horizontal velocity into vertical velocity, or mostly vertical velocity, and the net is really not great.”

For SpaceRyde the extra height is a trivial benefit given that the velocity of reaching orbiting is the key part, altitude is a free byproduct of that velocity. The real benefit is being able to use a more efficient nozzle.

By not having to throttle for MaxQ, with a vacuum optimized nozzle, at most balloon launch adds 10%, at the cost of substantial size and payload limits.

One benefit of SpaceRyde over plane launch is the rocket can launch at a better orientation, not requiring the added weight/complexity of wings like Pegasus.

But the problem is that SpaceRyde lacks the single major benefits of airplane launch, the ability to launch almost regardless of weather by flying around it, and in a mission specific latitude that can be reached in flight from a home launch base. SoaceRyde is not launching in inclement weather, though it can be launched in different latitudes.

It’s sole advantage is going to be cost over other air launch systems (should be way less complex) and other ground launched small sat providers but is unlikely to be able to serve more than the tiniest payload sizes.
I suspect this is some sort of blanket federal regulation.

> Scalpers aren't powerful enough to create an artificial scarcity.

Of course they are. Back in ye olde days when GPU mining for bitcoin was still possible (basically, FPGAs were not widespread and ASICs not even on the horizon), the amount of people who bought out all usable GPUs and resold them on ebay was massive. It was almost impossible to get anything for months unless you were willing to pay many multiples the ordinary worth.

In concert and other event tickets it's even worse. Some tickets have been known to sell at 20x markups, Rammstein concerts or Wacken tickets are usually outsold in a matter of hours and end up on ebay the day after.
I'm already watching YouTube videos of 16 year olds teaching me things related to what I was teaching when I was 16. It's depressing.
I've been paying for it for a while and I didn't actually know that. I thought after I stopped paying it would be unlicensed and bricked. Either way though I think the upgrades are probably worth paying for.
Great point. I think there would be a grill or fire at every camp site but someone pointed out that just a firepit isn't enough. I think there would need to be a mess hall cabin that has water and a microwave and maybe more than that?

While I would love to have a chef prepare food or just get things delivered every day, that adds to the monthly cost very quickly.
Predicting Depression via Social Media (2013) [pdf]
This is a very good question and I'm going to think about it more. During this past semester, I started keeping a Trello list of potential projects/readings I could work on to consolidate things, but it's still hard to pick from. The Git internals thing I mentioned was one thing in that list. Since I'm interested in open source software and the communities that form around projects, another idea I had is developing a "book club" where people meet and read the code and discuss the architecture of popular open source projects. I created a basic site for this a few weeks back, but haven't advertised it since it's not acceptable for public viewing yet.

The main issue for me is that my interests are a bit too broad. Should I learn web dev from my job by day, then try to implement an OS in my free time by night? I know I can't learn everything, but yet it feels like there's so much I really _do_ need to know to be a competent developer.
I wish it would be functional without JS.
Jerry Seinfeld said the same thing for his comedy writing. I've found the advice to be incredibly helpful in my own work.
We need accelerated testing. In the case of a pandemic, we need to make better use of volunteers.

How would you attract volunteers for these less-safe clinical trials? Pay them money?
I'm pretty sure they're including the taxes paid in the cost at exercise. You're correct - the strike price remains the same regadless of valuation, but you need to pay taxes on the gains of converting your cheap options to expensive stock.
Less bugs, all DLCs, runnable on mediocre hardware, and even more amenable to Wine/Proton. It's an insane marshmallow test.
A better formulation of DRY is SPOT — Single Point Of Truth. In the event that the logic is changed in one copy, should the other copy always be updated accordingly? If the answer is yes, combine them into a single copy, so that they don’t diverge and create ambiguous “sources of truth” in the future. Conversely, if it is likely that the logic in the two copies will need to diverge in the future, due to having a different context, then do not combine them, because they represent different “truths” that just currently happen to have the same form.

Of course, the answer to that question can change over time, and one has to combine or duplicate accordingly. This also serves to document the intent that “yes, these two occurrences are expected to evolve identically”, or “no, these two occurrences are expected to evolve independently, even though they currently happen to look the same”.

The article is correct though that there is a trade-off in terms of the complexity created by the abstraction, and in how important the “common truth” is. Sometimes a source comment pointing out the dependency is better than introducing a nontrivial abstraction.

The book “A Philosophy of Software Design” argues that there are two sources of complexity in software: dependencies and obscurity. Combining two similar pieces of logic into one can reduce dependencies (of one having to be changed when the other is changed), but can increase obscurity due to the added abstraction. If the combining was done for the wrong reasons (the two occurrences actually need to evolve independently), then the dependencies are increased instead of reduced.
Like most phone manufacturers, they're incentivised to exploit the people manufacturing phones. I'd pay money for iCloud, but never for their hardware (until they clean up their act, anyway).
I think it's a combination of:

* The school targets students with previous experience, which transfer credits that have no influence on the GPA.

* The school uses technical certifications (e.g., Oracle Oracle Database SQL 1Z0-07) as a final assessment for some courses, which don't cleanly map to a GPA.

* The school doesn't grade project-based courses (PAs), and instead requires students to resubmit their project until 100% of the rubric is met.

It's basically pass/fail. They won't even show students their grade on final exams (although Chrome's DevTools can reveal them).
In the literature it used to be presented as:

Not really.

You might be able to cut your time/cost to graduate by half by earning credits on Study.com, Sophia.org, Saylor.org, StraighterLine.com and transferring them to a traditional university. I've seen universities allow up to 50-75% of a program's credits to be transferred in.
This works on modern processes because modern chips are made using CMP (chemical-mechanical polishing) to planarize the layers. On older processes the layers were just stacked on each other without being flat in the depth dimension, so you couldn't just cut cleanly in one plane like you can now.

Then again, on older chips you can usually just take a top layer shot and tell apart most of the layers anyway.
Because we don't value software quality enough to prioritize quality over other factors.
Sure. I never said it shouldn't pass.
> There’s plenty of exceptions like the DMCA forcing a host to restore access to something if a counterclaim is filed.

The DMCA doesn't do that.

The DMCA allows a host to do that without liability for infringement, and continues to provide the host immunity to liability for any claims the user would otherwise have for the original takedown so long as they do that (the second half is the closest thing to force, but it usually is immaterial because hosts usually structure their contracts with users so that they would have no liability to them to immunize against, which is also why hosts are much more likely to provide reliable notice-takedown than counternotice-restorartion.)

The "IBM PC architecture" tells you where to find the PCI config space (either the well known i/o address 0x0CF8 and friends, or memory mapped address found in ACPI tables)

BIOS provided tables allow you to enumerate devices that aren't on the PCI bus, and BIOS provides methods to interact with storage devices. UEFI does all the same things, but differently.

A lot of ARM64 boards intended towards general purpose use include UEFI these days.

According to the article, one main culprit, known to the airline mfgs, is the typical location of the air intakes means that a leaking seal can lead to toxic organics spreading to the cabin. In fact, they cite the novel intake location on the 787 dream liners as avoiding this air quality issue.

A first step to investigating how serious of an issue the air quality is during fume events would be to actually measure the air quality during fume events, which congress instructed/mandated the FAA do in 2003, per the article. But to paraphrase, the airlines told the FAA to take a hike, and they obeyed.

If the mfg can repeatedly mislead the regulators and the airlines they are purportedly regulating can tell them to pound sand when they try to investigate, it means the regulators are failing. Yes it also means Boeing is in the wrong and the airlines, but it means the FAA has dropped the ball.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with the statement that gas flows along pressure gradients... temperature flows along temperature gradients... why does that standard behavior change anything in the analysis.
Wrong. It's theft at the very moment that an unjustified seizure occurs. The recourse you have is to convince a court to declare it theft and force the taker to give it back. But the court's declaration is only a legal thing, not able to define reality.

And I agree with you on the upgrades.
Maybe, but we went on a cruise to Norway last summer and every single time we were on the streets we saw at least a few Teslas. It was a game to see who could spot the most Teslas first.
That does nothing to stop the black market though. I would actually argue allowing people to legally get one fix of a addictive substance and then not allowing them a second would be a great boon to the black market. The concept doesn't really make sense. And then you also give law enforcement the headache of determining what is illegal coke and what is legal coke. What if I bought a bag 6 months ago,never consume it, then police find me with it.How can they possibly know if I used it six months ago and refilled the container on the street or not.
So does cyberpunk 2077 feel like I'm on a sortof "track"? Like I basically have to follow the story?
Absolutely it could. In fact it would be an elegant way to handle grouping rooms together rather than specifying individual room IDs.
> Such incompetence would never fly in other engineering disciplines. We would never put up with bridges that are as buggy as your average software system. So why is software engineering so bad? Why is there so much crap software out there?

Software is (generally) much cheaper than a bridge too. And a lot of buyers are especially aggressive in cost-cutting.

Having a proper profession for Software Engineers doesn't sound so bad.

Paradoxically, we call "cut content" what was recorded but not wired into the game. Abandonded ideas are not cut content, same as content that is cleaned up from the release thoroughly and leave no trace of it.

Concerning the life paths, it's just a fancy rumor that something was cut there. True, the origin stories for life paths in CP2077 could be perhaps as long as in Dragon Age: Origins, but keeping them short and tight is also fine.

Why have them at all? Broadly speaking, they may nudge the player into a specific ending. A lot of players vocal on forums would dismiss anything but completing all endings just for the sake of it, but if we are discussing this seriously as a role-playing game, what goes into the decision which ending to pursue matters.

Yes, I think you've gotten the vibe I was going for exactly. A private space when I need it and some community associations when I don't
Most of that is actually the fault of the studios. Few companies are investing in managing their communities and communicating with them, setting standards and so on. Those that do actually see results.

A great case study is Final Fantasy 14 VS World of Warcraft. 2 pretty similar MMOs, vastly different communities. If you dig a little, it's immediately visible that the difference is not coming from game design, but from explicit community management and standards of conduct. The FF14 mods police the community with an iron fist, and are very explicit about what kind of behavior is toxic and off-limits - and the results are visible whether you play the game or look at the reddit.

Most companies though just don't want to invest in that, even to the minimum extent of setting clear guidelines and enforcing them when violations reported.

This is an important point. Intel has a quite mature performance analysis stack that AMD doesn't match. Their performance management unit in Skylake-SP and later is very capable, and the one in Tiger Lake, Ice lake or later doubles the number of counters and adds other abilities. It's a software ecosystem that allows you to get a very high level of performance out of your software, if your shop is building its own software.

The question is, how did this start just now? In 2020? How is the COVID-19 vaccine the first to use mRNA? Anyone with who has taken AP Biology could conceive of and understand the idea behind making vaccines rapidly: take some mRNA, inject it, have in translated as the antigen in the body. Poof, that's it. I feel like the development of mRNA drugs should have started in the 70's or 80's. It isn't exactly high-tech or clever.
