How can anything be proven in a court of law? You use evidence of the same sorts as in any other litigation process. Testimonies, documents, emails, anything of record. Looking at the result and seeing if it is plausible that what they say is true or not. There is no 100% proof, but there never is in legal proceedings.
"there was no finding" means that they did not show that that happened, not that they showed it didn't. You're reading something into that quote it very carefully does not say.

> Both will leave a student heavily in debt to the tune of 150-300k

unless you have a very weird financial situation, no US student is going into anything like that much debt to go to either of those two schools. it looks like you got those numbers by just taking the tuition and multiplying it by four. both schools offer substantial aid packages for eligible families. the average yearly tuition contribution for MIT is something like $17k, not far off from in-state tuition at most public universities.

What regulators, though? Class sued the company and agreed to these ridiculous terms. I'd see a role to question maybe the integrity of the lawyers accepting the deal, or the mechanics of entering/disputing/leaving class action lawsuits in this world where now class members can easily reach into the many, many millions. But, like another commenter posted, if these were just two parties agreeing to this (which in some sense it is), we wouldn't have a problem with this at all.
When I was there, less than 8% of the students were paying full tuition (of which a good chunk were international students).

At a certain point, the colleges start to look like perfectly price discriminating monopolists: rather than charging the highest price to each customer, they set a maximum price ceiling and then subsidize the gap to the customer's marginal ability to pay.
It's absolutely possible, yet the example doesn't do it. That's what the comment was calling out (plus a bit of superfluous "WTF").
Well my experience with Heroku has always been that the code barely cares that it's being hosted there: a few config/environment variables here and there and that's it. Nothing to do with Firebase, where your project structure, front-end code, scripting utilities, config files, etc. become coupled with Firebase even if you try your best to contain the coupling.

I'm interested, what does Heroku offer in the way of "local testing" anyway? I just use a web framework's normal test runners in my local shell.
The study is conducted in mouse and human immune cells in a dish, and the purported link is between HFCS and inflammation.

This is definitely not true. Here's the 2020 report from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare:

The leading reason for suicide is, by far, health problems. After that, you have economic/living situation, then domestic problems, then work-related problems ranking 4th.

Obviously, there could be overlap in some situations, but I think it's clear that "most" suicides do not stem from excessive work.
That sounds like an entirely separate issue from what JWCC tries to achieve though.

For programatically upgrading JSON config files, it's not just comments but whitespace, indentation, etc. that need to be preserved. Honestly that needs an entirely separate tool/library from normal JSON encoding and decoding -- e.g. special jwcc_insert() and jwcc_delete() functions that guarantee the file remains untouched (exact formatting preserved) except for the modified part.

It's really more akin to when your apache.conf file gets modified programatically -- everything is preserved exactly except for the specific lines that get touched/added.

I think this is generally a good thing. I believe there are really two positive things that can come out of going to college - either you get a name-brand degree that opens doors and gets your resume looked at, or you get useful skills that enable you to go down a particular career path (e.g. CS degree). Obviously in some cases it'll be both.

The reality is it's really tough to make any case that a humanities degree from a lower or even mid-tier college is a worthwhile investment of money and time. Now obviously there are scholarships and students who come from wealth for whom this is less of an issue, but to pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for a degree in classics from third tier U is just an objectively bad choice for most people.

Hopefully this is the market working - people are learning how to value educational degrees based on what they'll actually yield financially and making decisions accordingly. Those schools that are providing substantial negative value to their students ought to go under, and the students who would attend them and end up in huge debt with minimal job prospects will make a better investment, like working for four years, going to a trade school, etc.

I maintained a code beautification tool for about a decade. Here is what I learned from code beautification.

1. First notice that there is a world of difference between what users want and what they are willing to achieve. Know this more than anything else. People will ask for all kinds of shit, and.... A wish list is not a fully explored business requirement with known sub-tasks and test cases. A simple ask can become something worthy of a different independent project.

2. Too subjective. Everybody has subtle different personal preferences. In some cases the inability to support some edge case of some language will cause certain users to have an emotional episode. WTF. This is free software providing a convenience that you can easily live without.

3. A lot of work. You have to be very clear about what language, grammar, class of languages, or other various of characters you are willing to support. For example there is HTML then there are about billion trillion different HTML template schemes each with their own syntax and inside that syntax is a wildly different language than the surrounding HTML.

4. Carve out a measurable portion of your life. This is an investment of time you will never get back. Writing a code beautifier is far more work than it sounds. First, you need a parser. If one does not exist for the language you wish to support in the language or format of your tool you will need to write one. Be careful though, because that parser will have to support conventions that are unique to beautification and not necessarily useful elsewhere. In the case of the HTML example above you will need multiple different parsers that can achieve a nesting of parse trees or achieve harmony of a uniform parse tree beloved by all languages. This is achievable, as I have done it, but good luck.

5. Maintenance. There are always new edge cases, new languages, new grammars, new features and your users will want them all. Set hard boundaries.

------

With the amount of work required you will begin to ask yourself some basic life questions:

Does this tool bring me more money or a better job? Does it bring me prestige AND satisfy a craving for attention? Does it improve my work, as in other real work outside your beautification tool?

In my case, for a while, the tool did allow me access to better jobs with increased pay. It demonstrated I could do things many other developers could not and that I was willing to dedicate some absurd about of effort into something people actually used. But, that will only take your career so far after which you are just spinning your wheels and burning time.

When I got further in my career I realized I wasn't beautifying my code ever. I had no need for the tool I was maintaining and despite continuous maintenance by me the tool started to decay, because the requirements had grown out of control and I was no longer an end user.
As mentioned in the sibling comment

"it's a highly controversial topic as it indicates that something is inherently wrong with being transgender."

Whether ROGD exists or not, there isn't going to be useful discourse about it on public social media, where 99.9% of the time anyone talking about "endocrine disruptors" or "ROGD" or "social contagion" is only using it to invalidate the entire notion of being trans. Sometimes because their child is questioning their gender and they want to shut that down without just having a parent-child conversation about it.

Did environmental microplastics and soy milk and Wifi radiation and being friends with trans people make me into a woman?

We can raise that hypothesis in good faith, but I'm not going to quit transitioning even if it turns out to be true.
Looking through the testimonials, they all look like stock photos. Probably a lot easier and nicer looking than actual photos of the people, but it doesn't do anything for my "this is a marketing scam" feeling...

Agreed, we did it all the way, but that was just in the course of a 5 years degree there was room to spend three semesters having compiler design related lectures, split between parser theory, denotational semantics, programming language history and implementing our own toy compiler.
There are many key differences between the two which can be useful in different situations, so the advantages and disadvantages of either can depend on what you're trying to do as well. Here are some general differences, if it helps:

- ComputeSharp uses exclusively DirectX as the backend, ILGPU has backends for CUDA/OpenCL/CPU. This means that ComputeSharp only works on Windows 10, but it has the benefit of not needing any other dependencies (no need to install CUDA or OpenCL to get GPU support). ILGPU instead should work on Linux/Mac too, but requires you to install those frameworks if you want your code to run on the GPU.
- ComputeSharp is particularly tied to DX12 compute shaders and the HLSL language. This means it exposes many HLSL intrinsics and features, which makes it particularly easy to write/port existing shaders to it (from either HLSL or GLSL). I have some samples in the repo with some shaders ported from https://www.shadertoy.com/ to showcase this. ILGPU instead lets you write more "abstract" code in a way.
- Since ComputeSharp is heavily tied to DirectX 12 APIs, it allows you to very easily to interop with DirectX and Win32 APIs if you wanted to. For instance, you can run a shader with ComputeSharp and then copy the results to some other DX resource manually, eg. to render that in a window.
- ComputeSharp also exposes a number of additional DirectX types and features, such as 2D and 3D textures, and allows using custom pixel formats for your textures, which makes it particularly easy to write shaders that process images, as the GPU can take care of all the pixel format processing for you automatically.
- ComputeSharp rewrites your C# code to HLSl at build time, whereas ILGPU has a runtime JIT to process the kernels. This makes ComputeSharp likely faster during the first run (as most of the work is done at build time) and with no need for dynamic code generation, but the C# code needs to follow some rules to be supported. ILGPU can be a bit more forgiving in the way it lets you write code, and it might be able to add some extra optimizations for you, like using CUDA streams.

Overall the two libraries are very different and I believe there's space for both of them in the ecosystem.
The more open source projects there are for people to choose from, the better! Plus it's still a way for developers to learn more by also looking at what others are doing in any given area, and what approaches they're using to solve similar problems.

If you try ComputeSharp 2.0 out (eg. by running the samples), let me know how it goes!
Maybe if they charged reasonable prices they'd have more applicants. The university I went to let you go for free if you kept a 4.0 GPA and had high SAT scores.

Laptops (and computers in general) run on 12V DC and 5V DC (and more recently also 3.3V DC) internally. Modern laptop chargers tend to put out around 20V DC to charge the battery and stepped down by power management circuits. Not sure if it was already 20V in '98 or if laptops were still using 12V DC to charge the NiCads, I seem to remember car chargers that plugged the laptop directly into the cigarette lighter.

> ... Reliant Robin- at least the single-wheel-in-front variety.

To be clear, this is because the single-wheel in front vehicles will roll over if turned sharply or at too high a speed. The single-wheel in back designs are much more dynamically stable.
The subject stated that while he was receiving these questions, he was "dreaming that he was asleep in the lab".

It would be much more convincing if the subject were in a different landscape.
If you can enforce that they use the password manager, it solves that one problem.

But SSO centralizes access management. For instance, with one switch I can set password requirements, require 2FA, and grant/revoke access to all of an employee's services when they join the company or leave.
They could very easily opt out of getting scraped by Google. They choose not to though because it is beneficial to them to have Google help people find their content.

Also note, Australia has specifically said removing article snippets from search results is not enough for Google to avoid payment. This legislation is not about protecting websites from content theft. It's solely about the Australian government forcing Google and Facebook to pay the propagandists that helped them get elected.
This post is not correct, and it shows a extreme lack of experiences regarding actual deployments.

> Back in the early 1990s when the Internet started to go public, many systems and networks still looked like this and many systems still relied on privileged ports as a critical authentication mechanism. So when web sites started to proliferate and everyone started wanting to run their own web servers on their own IP addresses, it was more conceptually obvious and less disruptive to implement operating system virtualization and leave the rest of the stack untouched.

This is the author's main argument and it is very wrong.

The virtualization appeared in 2000's, over a decade later. vmWare made the first release in 1999. Xen was released in 2003. It took a while before the virtualization become fast enough that it could be used as "default option" in server sharing.

And meanwhile, there were a ton of nice systems which allowed many users to share the same system. It is called "shared hosting", and it is still popular now. Usually there is one central webserver, and a "control panel" web app which allows safe control over shared resources (shared web server process).
> Even before the pandemic, Dr. Baldridge said, “the rich were getting richer and the poor were getting more and more challenged, in terms of institutions.”

Framing this as “rich” vs. “poor” is ridiculous. These “poor” institutions were charging 6 figure sums for a piece of paper. There is nothing beneficial to society by having a lot of unwanted institutions who charge insane amounts that no one wants to go to voluntarily anymore. High Ed needed a shakeout and I’m happy it’s finally happening.

There's an opportunity for this to happen by taking some time to just read through CSS 2.1 and implement the renderer. So much of the web is driven by that portion of spec alone. Then, you could tack on whatever other programming language you wanted to play around with. It doesn't even necessarily have to be JavaScript.

Most people don't even succeed implementing CSS 2.1, though. It takes a non-neglible amount of time.

You have no idea that a lot of people, including high profile analysts forgets this very crucial fact, and refuse to invalidate their analogy. You thought flat Earthers are ignorant enough, surprise surprise.

Many people think that money is money. They think money is what makes a nation strong, not products and services. I don't know how even highly educated people missed this part.

Money is a side effect of power, not the other way around.
> Human beings are able to move past the narrow meaning of specific words

How convenient. Considering you claimed one thing that was false and are now claiming another thing that is also false but would help make your original claim true because you say so, I think I'll stick with the "narrow" form of interpretation that humans have managed so well with up till now.

Is this really true? I don't see ethics in ML papers getting the same attention in major conferences as theoretical or experimental breakthroughs in deep / reinforcement learning.

Don't get me wrong, ethics could be hot outside the ML academia, but I very much doubt it's something majority of grad students in ML are dying to get into.

Running service that I need to develop right now with a lot of local data (or even read-only connection to production mega-db) is one thing.
But needing to run that service with a lot of data only to be able to develop some other part of the system (that is not even related to that particular service, but "nothing works" without it) is a pretty annoying development experience.

If you find any particular problems feel free to open an issue on the repo (or ping me in the C# Discord server). Do make sure to grab one of the latest ComputeSharp 2.0 packages from the CI though and not the ones on NuGet, those are still with the old 1.x version, I plan to update them in the coming weeks!
Also remember to have a look at the various samples in the repo if you want some general reference as to what kind of operations can be done with the library.
