I can already imagine some HR people/recruiters going “why is this guy listing a game in his résumé?”
I suspect most people didn’t, but even 1 in 50 listers would still be a lot of people flipping out.
Liberty Uni is heavily biased. Let’s get that out of the way.

Now I’m responding to the assertion to that one doesn’t need to be of a certain stripe to make it in liberal institutions.

You downplay and say that a Harvard pres. position is highly political; which is fair, but the reaction also shows that a pervasive and intolerant groupthink is present.

It may tolerate the odd dissenting professor, especially if they’re protected by tenure, but the buck stops there.

No such protections for students first making their way into the world.

Not exactly a bastion of free thought and discourse.

I am not familiar with Australia privacy law, could you give me a rough idea what is look like?

Snowdon case made the US government look bad, please don't use the same reason to make the Chinese Communist Party look good or OK.

It's kind weird when something bad happens, everyone just points at the US and says they do that too! The CCP did something bad, Somehow it's OK because the US government did something bad.

If you are an US national and living in the US, you can complain and bitch about your government all you want and not worrying about your safety, hence you can talk about the Snowdon case or berate the president, and things might change. Would you dare doing that in Chinese soil even if your are not Chinese.

You're fabricating a narrative based on speculation.

Several times over in your post.

You're not making a 'technical defence' you're just 'making it up'.

In a reasoned post, you could have made the implication maybe once, with the caveat that it's 'a stretch', and then deferred to other lines of speculative reasoning from a different angle.

Irrespective of the fact that there's a thin possibility that this narrative could be close to the truth ... it's still bad rhetoric.

As to whether 'it's annoying' or not, I have nothing to say about that - I mean, I don't personally care. It just is what it is to me, 'annoying' is a personal inference, it's a discussion board, I don't presume anything is personal.
Really wealthy people who have grown up with that wealth don't need to prove anything to anybody, and most of the time will be 'flying under the radar'.
Or just long term investment and planning. And in those 17 years we got so much more storage and better service that it redefined free email. When gmail launched with 1GB of free storage the competitors (Yahoo, Hotmail) where providing 10-15Mbytes, seriously, it's not even funny.

Today Google gives you a lot more free storage than there were giving when Gmail was launched but it also gives you even more storage if you pay for it. Seems win-win to me and not anti-consumer. Now if they started to shrink free email storage and that affected large numbers of existing users (10% or more) maybe I'd agree this was bait&switch but otherwise this is simply giving more options.
Plenty of options with varying levels of cost and/or complexity. For example, you could try Matlab’s HDL coder/Sysgen and an FPGA eval platform with eval board transceiver. National Instruments also has a good platform to start with using Labview and the Ettus USRP devices. OpenAirInterface has been developed to work with the USRP devices and has a fairly active community led from Eurecom.

You aren't paying attention if you think people are complaining about being fired because they're hard to work with.

This (Mexican-American) guy was fired for a photo that for a brief moment showed his hand making an OK sign out the window of a truck because for a few months the mainstream media tried to convince everyone that the OK sign is a white supremacist symbol: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/502975-cal...
You can't look at historical trends because it's not rising linearly. Most of the warming and melting will happen in the last decades of this century. That's part of what makes it easy to underestimate.

But you are right that it will keep rising for a thousand years or more. But now at that timeframe we're talking 6-12 meters or more.

This is all in the fairly conservative public estimates that so far have underrepresented the pace and scale of change.

>Learning not to do exactly this kind of shit was something I needed to do manually.

I can slip back and forth between the cultural standards of my older brother's generation and mine depending on who the group is. I don't agree with all of either but I'm pretty damn good at fitting in either context.

Only one of those subcultures have accused me of mental defectiveness for not unquestionably internalizing their standards through osmosis.

It probably is a mental limitations that I don't read the norms of my brother's generation as easily I do my own. But that's not the one I'm accused of being too autistic to understand.

The "you're mentally defective if you don't agree with my norms" line of reasoning is just schoolyard bullying to enforce conformity. Even if true.

> disempowerment of the majority and tyranny of the minority

These are two different things, though. You can disempower the majority without empowering the minority. Power is not a zero-sum game - you can disclaim it without handing it over to someone else.
I agree with you, nobody will do anything until it's too late.

It's just a bundle of two of their Honeycomb LX2, which has a 16-core LX2160A from NXP, and have been available for a while. The performance numbers put out previously put it somewhere in the performance range of a Xeon Silver class processor, but with less power draw (~35W TDP?) It'll almost certainly be vastly better than any comparable Atom in performance, but you might lose some other stuff.

Because of Russia's famous open borders policy, and China happy to open their borders to let refugees pass through? What planet do you live on?

That's like saying the US would open its southern border to let migrants pass thorough up to Canada.
But if it's an Erlang-style system, it gets its resilience by acting less like a solid fortress and more like a guerilla force that melts away when you attack it. :D So I'd still have to say Bastion is an odd name.
That’s an ex-post excuse. They got blowback from her attempt at exposing people’s preconceptions. They didn’t like it. They caved in to the mob. PR isn’t perfect.

Is it, really? Even if the new law is extremely oppressive to the minority?

I mean, our drug laws are a mess that caused extreme grief (prison etc) to millions of people by now. But they were supported by wide majorities of the electorate. Were they a good thing? How about the Prohibition? Sodomy laws?

Wheaton’s college is an extremely narrow evangelical Protestant theology, that as well as dismissing Hawkins for her statements and firing a professor a few years before for becoming Catholic as it violated the schools duty to employ faculty embodying it's Protestant ideals, also led it to sue against the ACA’s preventive services mandate.

I'm not sure why you would suggest that “cancellation” under that theology has anything to do with progressivism.
Mostly Bastion. I believe that the popularity ratio of Bastion game/Bastion tech is much greater than Rust game/Rust tech.

You should be able to tell when one side of the link degrades though, correct? You'd have known time deltas for the link each way (whether its accurate doesn't really matter) and when the round trip time changes you should be able to tell which side that occurred on. (I'm interested in this problem because my cable internet reliably (!) degrades during the workday)
Maybe you haven't checked this since 2013: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

This statistic is not without reason. Chrome still has considerable usability and security advantages, especially for non-technical people(at least on anything that's not OS X), and still the best dev tools out there.

We can be lucky that FF at least tries to stick to standards where Safari doesn't bother.

> Still, I agree, you shouldn't really use the C standard library to do strings.

As someone who's been learning some C, I wonder if you have a recommendation for a guide on how to handle strings properly.
Definitely a real effect, but it seems like Google accounted for that in their listening tests.

The Google blog post links to the Lyra paper[1], and Section 5.2 of the paper says:

> To evaluate the absolute quality of the different systems on different SNRs a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) listening test was performed. Except for data collection, we followed the ITU-T P.800 (ACR) recommendation.

You can download those ITU test procedures[2], and skimming through that, it does mention making "the necessary gain adjustments, so as to bring each group of sentences to the standardized active speech level" and a 1000 Hz calibration test tone related to that. (See sections B.1.7 and B.1.8.)

So, if I skimmed correctly, and if the ITU's method of distilling speech loudness into a single number is an effective way to match the volume levels[3], then it seems like they did what they could to avoid cheating at the listening tests.

It is still interesting that Lyra makes things louder, though.

Idk most of that is reasonable though. Censoring sexually explicit things (for example) is common around the world and all of human society generally agrees that sexually explicit things have a time and place and that time and place isn't publicly available media that children can access.

But getting fired because 20 years ago you didn't approve of gay marriage is silly and that's the cancel culture right now.

Alternatively, add Terminal.app to the Privacy -> Developer Tools option (this may require installing Xcode), which allows processes it starts to bypass Gatekeeper. It won't solve the arch problem, but it'll get around the second part.
Professors don't make much these days, but check out the salary for university administrators in the US. The top of the food chain has quite nice compensation, and the amount of administrators is probably too high.

Universities also compete on who has the best food and nicest dorms. Prospective student often tour campuses, so having a pretty one with lots of rose bushes, ivy, and brick is good for recruiting. That all costs money.

Another thing is that elite private universities often have strong need-based financial assistance (discounts). MIT, for example, claims that the average need-based scholarship is about $47k (on tuition of 53k). They also claim 31% attend tuition-free.

Making a small inference: Those who actually pay the full $53k in tuition are helping those who pay nothing.

In that situation (dual usage modes) I think I'd rather have the primary data store be Materialize, and just snapshot Materialize views back to your warehouse (or even just to an object store).

Then you could use that static store for exploration/fixed analysis or even initial development of dbt models for the Materialize layer, using the Snowflake or Spark connectors at first. When something's ready for production use, migrate it to your Materialize dbt project.

The way dbt currently works with backend switching (and the divergence of SQL dialects with respect to things like date functions and unstructured data), maintaining the batch and streaming layers side by side in dbt would be less wasteful than the current paradigm of completely separate tooling, but still a big source of overhead and synchronization errors.

If the community comes up with a good narrative for CI/CD and data testing in flight with the above, I don't think I'd even hesitate to pull the trigger on a migration. The best part is half of your potential customers already have their business logic in dbt.

I would argue that a culture which attributes success in life to personal effort or choices is sick. This makes people blame themselves for not trying hard enough etc, when in reality there are more decisive factors such as who your parents are (or luck).

> I think they can easily be made secure [...] It doesn't mean it would be conventional or easy

So you can easily make it secure by doing something not easy?

Something that requires discipline, willingness and unconventional practice to be secure is by definition not secure. A secure language is the opposite: The default behavior and conventions are mostly secure and you need to go out of your way to make it unsecure.

Otherwise, with enough time and enough people you are guaranteed to be doomed.
Oh wow, the hwnd approach is an awesome idea! I suffer from a different issue - my monitor has a displayport and 2 hdmi inputs, and when you activate one of the hdmi inputs, the other sends a "monitor disconnected" signal to its host, which messes up the layout. It would be awesome to have an app that constantly remembers the layout, and once it detects a change in the number of monitors, or a resolution change, it stops doing it until the monitor returns, and it does, it restores windows to the saved places. Sounds easy enouch, and I'll probably create this app myself based on examples from your code.
