Why is college education broken in the US? If one is doing a STEM degree then they can earn enough salary to pay for their loans and live happily ever after.

Isn't the issue when either international students come and invest thousands of dollars in university fees and are then unceremoniously kicked out of the country or students which study some field which has no high employability?
How about you don't believe everything you read on the internet. Even 5 star people are wrong too.
Exactly. Would you rather go with the advice of an expert who’s been doing this full time for 10 years, or the advice of an enthusiast who spent 3h/week for a few months (yourself) for something so important?
Hopefully Google drinks the Kool Aid and kills itself instead of going after one head at a time.
I'd go for "listening now" or "currently listening". I also assumed the "room" was the what I see now is called "station".

Counting the listeners in a station instead of visitors site-wide would be kinda neat though, and "room" works well then I think.

edit: or maybe "in the cafe" for site-wide visitors? That should be clear and has the same feeling as "room".
None of those things (views, stored procs, functions) are part of the query language. They all involve making somewhat permanent alterations to the structure of the database, and are entirely capable of conflicting with other objects in the database. So if your query needs these things, you're now into "release management" territory.

In terms of lack of linguistic abstraction, try writing a query that abstracts over what table it's to be run against, allowing choice of source data to be parameterized, without either resorting to shenanigans like passing strings of SQL fragments around to be eval'd during query execution, or writing the query in some other system such that it can then be compiled into SQL for execution.
This would be helpful to be as well. Even my family doctor wanted to stay as far back away from me as possible when I brought up getting tested for ADHD.
Not sure why the downvotes, this is a known fact. Cows are meant to eat grass for instance but because we feed them corn and soy instead (slightly cheaper), they get diseases they otherwise wouldn’t get. So their foodstuff is also laced with antibiotics, which people eating the meat and milk in turn absorb.
I did test that and maybe should have mentioned it in the article :) The repo history actually still has an RGBA buffer dump I think.
Your really good friends won't stop messaging you just because you've left Facebook.

If anything, leaving Facebook was a wake-up call as to who my very good friends were.
I'm not into elevator music but I understand some people might enjoy it. Do you listen to this while working?
Also accessible for maintenance; you get the service manual with purchase; they actually bother writing the manual, and the support line isn't half bad.

Hate to break it to ya' but just chucking a chip into a gigantic heatsink of a frame, and relying on one or two USB-C ports to support gigantic networks of peripherals through a powered hub (sold seperately) which has issues running multiple added on monitors because the HDMI over USB-C tends to put off EMI in the 2.4 GHz band is honestly a step backwards compared to the characteristics you complain about. My old MBP would kill it's own network connection trying to drive large smart TV's through it's USB-C ports; and constantly stall handling all the input demands as I'd end up outtyping the capability of the processor to context switch on a typical programmer/scripter workload. Not had an issue one with System76's older school design approach to things like the Serval (whose battery life is abysmal comparatively, but I knew that going in. It's a workstation.)

System76 isn't out to build dispose-a-systems or systems that can only be swapped back through them on warranty. These are systems intended to be user serviced. That means thicker. You have to account for fasteners, less/no glue, stay away from over-using overly brittle plastic bezels that break at the drop of a hat, more room for connectors, so soldering labs aren't required for swapping out or adding RAM/SSD's... More generous tolerances for hand room, ergonomic motherboard and keyboard layouts. I can trust my system more, because I can actually take care of it.

Compared to my old VAIO Z Series, which I love dearly to this day, but which I always crack open with fear and trepidation because of the over-reliance on FPC's, System76 stuff is a breath of fresh air for me. I'd prefer an XFCE derivative desktop over GNOME, but eh. I'll live.

I didn't have to go hunting all over the Net for years for an unofficial community driver that actually gets me passed the most recently updated by manufacturer driver from 2012 for the Nvidia GT 630M/Intel IHD kludge, I don't as a consequence have to run with Driver Signature Enforcement off, and hardly ever update, I don't have to worry about FPC's breaking or put up with software remapping two keys on the keyboard in software because it's easier than risking screwing something up while disassembling the whole bloody laptop to get to the keyboard and mobo so I can reseat the ribbon connector in the hopes of a more solid connection reviving the bloody. No longer functioning keys.

Heck. I ended up able to find my way through troubleshooting their initial setup tool after making my own life more difficult than it needed to be on OS setup bbecause I wanted to understand how the machine worked from boot to userspace.

Something I still have zilch insight into with Macs.

So... Different strokes I guess?
Seems like mRNA vaccines is winning the the race against other emerging technology like viral vector. If we manage to figure out the nanolipids to live in better temperature conditions, mRNA will change our generation.
That statement can be applied to a lot of countries outside of the EU, it is not an EU specific problem. It represents a challenge for western democracies that appeared with the recent waves of populist movements (Trump, Brexit, 5 Stars, etc.)
this! they could have a page entirely of "reported videos" by person or AI and the severity would rank how high on this page the content is.

Things like timestamp of when in the video was reported might help for scanning "content" e.g. "50 people reported this 20 minute video in the 3-5 minute mark" or similar average.
The goal for this types of efforts is equity and not equality. For 70 years in Soviet Russia equity was also the goal and we all know how that went.

There are 19 articles and the argument doesn't boil to anything. Just one minor argument is that deflationary money system reduces overconsumption. That's not a 'deflationary halt'.

If externalities were properly accounted for in GDP, it would not be growing so rapidly. That would be a start.
That would definitely reduce/eliminate the fire risk but I think the challenge with that approach is that you would effectively just be cutting the weed off at the surface.

With the CO2 laser they are basically cooking it to death. The long wavelength likely penetrates much further into the root as well, increasing the likelihood that its permanent. That said they could moderate the dwell time of the laser to avoid having things burst into flame if/where that is an issue.

I do wonder if they could use microwave instead.
Pair programming is the best way to learn so that's unfortunate.
That's really disingenuous.
Was there a private individual a few years ago who was doing a similar thing? Cleaning up backdoored servers?
I guess the appeal of Datalog is the recursion that can be expressed in rules:

has_descendant(?ancestor, ?descendant) :-
has_child(?ancestor, ?child),
has_descendant(?child, ?descendant).

Here, the assumption is that you have explicit `has_child` facts (expressing vertices in a graph, essentially), and the above rule gives you paths of arbitrary length.

In SQL, given a table has_child(parent, child), it is not clear to me how you can get all descendants of a given person, or all ancestors.

Other people talk about recursive extensions to SQL, maybe that provides a way.
A lot of the seminal research papers are surprisingly readable! I really recommend reading them to get a good feel for the sort of problems you face at scale and good ways of handling them.

Off the top of my head: a lot of stuff from Google (Dapper, Stubby, Zanzibar). Dynamo from Amazon. Leslie Lamport's guide on TLA+. The two generals problem, distributed consensus, and so on.

Most distributed systems don't need all that fancy stuff, but it's useful to know regardless. Even the simplest systems will get weird and interesting bottlenecks with scale.

And then a lot of just doing it in practice! Find a job at a startup with some scale, and learn on the job.
Denmark has a low population with a low infection rate. They can afford to wait for alternative vaccines. The same action in other countries could be a disaster.

Yes, especially for vaccines that are not on a schedule, but given in specific travel circumstances, in many places in Europe you can buy the dose, store it for a few days in your home fridge and then go to a nurse to have it administered (and logged if you need proof).

For many of the vaccines you can just go and buy them and store them yourself without any special permission or prescription. Usually you do not want to do it, simply because it is easier for the immunization clinic to take care of it.

Moderna (another mRNA vaccine) alone is estimating it will produce between 600M and 1B vaccines in 2021 already: https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/...

Curevac is on track to apply for authorization for another mRNA vaccine in Q2: https://www.biopharma-reporter.com/Article/2021/03/22/CureVa...

It's not out of the question that the EU will be able to supply itself entirely with mRNA (or inactivated virus) past 2021.

Wasn’t there some consideration that with 2x you could never reuse previous contiguous allocations but at 1.4 (ish?) it was an option and improved fragmentation in some cases?

Of course it depends on the behaviour and binning (or lack thereof) of your allocator.

Edit: it’s 1.5, any growth factor below 2 has this property, how far below 2 regulates how quickly it happens, https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/docs/FBV...

> it can be mathematically proven that a growth factor of 2 is rigorously the worst possible because it never allows the vector to reuse any of its previously-allocated memory.

> [...]

> choosing 1.5 as the factor allows memory reuse after 4 reallocations; 1.45 allows memory reuse after 3 reallocations; and 1.3 allows reuse after only 2 reallocations
Or you could just be mature and not need to suck on the teat of authoritarianism and learn to tolerate offensiveness.
For Verizon at least, it is an option, but stupidly it is a paid option. I had checked 2 years ago and they wanted ~$3/month for the privilege of not providing voicemail.

Turns out it was easier to borrow a friend's phone and leave myself a bunch of voicemail to fill up the storage.
Yup, scamming per se is rife and as with most borderline 'white' white collar crime, largely consequence-free - in sell-side analysis for example. But step on the wrong toes...
(2) leads to fewer deaths overall than (1). (1) gives better quality of life to the healthy than (2). (3) leads to fewer deaths than (1) or (2), but it requires political will. If you can pull it off, (3) is what you want. That's a big "if" though.

As a healthy person, I personally would have been better off under (1). However, I think the economic and emotional damage of that number of deaths would have been too much for society as a whole.
I really am surprise this pieces get on front page. This are just social engineering bullocks for people who read the titles to sway their bias.

The vaccine only contains the (mRNA) blueprints for the spike protein that cells of the body will then produce themselves. The immune system then reacts to those.
It doesn't have to be the same doctor, but anyway a doctor is not a bureaucrat and buying medicine with a prescription is something that only involves private parties (unless you want to be reimbursed by social security when it exists of course, then social security is obviously involved and it might be public).

If you're advocating for the end of mandatory doctor's prescription for all medicine that's your right, but it's rather doubtful that it would be an improvement over the current system.
Sweden did not "go back on it". They remain with significantly lighter restrictions than ~all of continental Europe:

https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/the-public-health-agency...

As far as I can tell, their most stringent restrictions are limits on group gatherings to 8, and closing bars at 8pm:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-30/swedish-h...

Contrast to France, Italy, the UK, Belgium, etc., where people have been forcibly restricted to their homes for a significant portion of the last year.

Seems incredible now the University of Pennsylvania told the inventor mRNA that their contributions weren't worthwhile and let them go.

And now on social media they've done a full 180 and are acting as if it were their contribution to the world when the reality is quite different.
This initially thought this would be a nice tutorial/community for Spanish speakers but it appears to be that they are attempting to write a new programming language.

I’ll have to say I prefer the idea of educational site that explains and talks about the idea of programming and what not.
So the fact that the EU will not renew a contract at expiration in favour of other providers is impacting your freedom?

The underlying truth is that a lot of Brits have identified with AZ, and any "attack" to the vaccine feels like a personal attack to their country and their identity to them... You seem to be in that category.
Come on Microsoft, Apple offers the choice of keyboard layout in the EU so why is there no option to configure the keyboard layout during checkout in your store?

At the very minimum, tell the customer the keyboard layout during checkout, because I'm not going to bother ordering it only to find out after receiving it what the layout is (my default assumption is the national layout; e.g. QWERTZ for Germany, AZERTY for France).

Lenovo, HP, and Dell are all guilty of this as well. The laptops are all assembled in SE Asia in the first place, so it's inexcusable that vendors cannot offer different keyboard options on their own web store.

That wastes a lot of my time as a call receiver. I'd rather the telephone companies do this for me instead.

They could put together an automated service to receive calls from blacklisted numbers instead of just blocking them. That service would play along with the scam and keep them on the line as long as possible. A YouTuber my wife watches, Kitboga, tried something like that about a year ago[0].

Unfortunately, something like this isn't quite as effective for robocalls.

> The high heat nationalism in the ex-yu managed to distract the populace from the fact that their countries are unreformed socialist era dinosaurs.

It's not so much nationalism as much as people _wanting_ their countries to stay unreformed socialist era dinosaurs. Many smaller communities here (Croatia) depend on government handouts or jobs in the public sector.

Without them, those communities would cease to exist.

I often see this argument as though in the future some advance technology can go back through the ledger and de-anon people.

Outside of some exchange link keeping a name = address record, the public wallet doesn't really expose you as there's no link between an address and a person.

Also, that $1 can be charged with crime and sized directly. Good luck siezing a brainwallet etc.
I only see two items, "Link & the forgotten accessibility" and "z-index hell".

At a government level you have to be able to weigh bodies. Because there are often deaths or serious harm on both sides of a decision. Just because it's a hard decision doesn't mean there isn't a right choice that minimizes harm. This is also true of the trolley problem.

In this case one side is clearly tipping the scales by multiple orders of magnitude more. To choose that side for political reasons is cowardice and unethical.
It's a fantastic analysis, and I am a bit surprised by some of the results. Thanks for doing the work and putting together a great resource.

kodablah's point is a valid one generally. A parallel post notes that a developer can't avoid the warm-up time, but they can by using WASM.

As an aside, does v8 cache the optimized native code to any degree? I know there is code caching in the major browsers to presumably avoid reparsing Javascript, but if I had a theoretical page with say an image blur function, would each visit/load go through the same analysis/optimization process, going from slow to fast?
I happen to know a few Italians, and unfortunately cannot agree about the quality of life. Likely it's way better than in places like Congo — no wonder! But compared to more northern Europe and the US, the difference is rather stark. Look at the unemployment figures, for instance.

Still, of course, great people, great culture, great potential.

Same with Japan: wonderful culture, nice people, but the problems are real. And somehow, I suppose, they are rooted in the same great culture as the nice things :-/
The fragmentation is one thing, but it's the way each variation is really just subtly different from several other variations that exemplifies what Linux has become. This is supposed to be the OS of composability, why are DEs so inflexible that you need so many bespoke variations?

I wonder if we can develop vaccination against syphilis.

With all the progress made because of Covid, it might just be possible. Syphilis has been a big vaccination challenge.

Edit: Why I am getting downvoted for this of all things? Do people hate syphilis victims so much? Not everyone who catches syphilis is a raging cheater.
You mean, like the open standards-based Fediverse, where there are also no ads and algoritmic feeds optimizing for engagement?
Here in the US my doctor is a “private party”. They don’t work for the government, they work at a private business. Nor do I need their involvement to get a vaccine.

The pharmacist at my local grocery store can legally prescribe me a vaccine on the spot at my request, and an assistant can administer it. The pharmacy in my local grocery store is also a private business. For all intents and purposes, yes, I walk into a pharmacy and buy a vaccine.

Before even checking the username, I had guessed that this would be as a result of cryptocurrency speculation.

From reports from other crypto investors, I would also suspect that the investment also wasn't limited to buying on a mainstream exchange, but buying crypto from people directly with cash transfers or trading back and forth directly between less mainstream currencies.

Crypto trading is high-suspicion for two reasons - its very easy to claim a windfall has come from off-book crypto-trading when its actually profits from crime.

It is also very easy to be caught up with illegal transfers of money from other countries or to proscribed organisations when transfering money directly.

Clearly OP isn't involved in either of these illegal activities, otherwise they wouldn't have passed KYC, but it seems reasonable that they would have had to jump through some hoops to demonstrate that their activities were indeed legitimate and above board.

I would suggest that their personal experience is not representative of the thoroughness of the KYC process most people would go experience.
Uninformed cynicism, however, is the exclusive mantra of online commentating.

The EU is disputing the report in question. And even if it were true, they'd probably have some reason than what you're coming up with in the absence of all information, which is basically "let's kill some people".
especially so because legally forcing someone to stop using some software/exploit won't stop governments nor hackers from exploiting the vulnerability.

> Surely the best way to convince people you are the peaceful victim is to continue to demonstrate peaceful intentions even when others don't reward you for it.

This is the international relations version of asking protestors to just show up unarmored and let police beat the shit out of them.

It is entirely ineffective in both cases for the same reason: there is an American news empire that centers the state's narrative. The state will attack, and will spin the resulting images of destruction as entirely provoked by the victim.

(Given that everyone knows that's what will happen, you might as well get what you paid for and show up ready for violence. That's what Iran is doing.)
Without disagreeing with your point, I do think there's something to be said for the more specialized sites the Internet used to specialize in. Places that foster a sense of community tend to wind up with users who are happy to pitch in when something doesn't look right (or get overrun by spammers if the community isn't able to deal with the issues). I am happy to pull weeds in a community garden in a way I will not at some factory farm. This approach isn't a utopia; people are people and everything is political, but at smaller scales, saying "Well, just start your own [niche] video site" isn't snark, it's a realistic thing and perhaps both sites contribute to the marketplace of ideas. YouTube is the marketplace of the unthinking.
