My second question is how is this hacker news relevant?
I have a CS degree (just a bachelors) and have been in the job force for about 5 years now as a software engineer/dev. I would say going back for a masters in CS would depend greatly on what you want to do moving forward (in my eyes).
1. if you want to stay in as a technical lead/dev then I would say it could be worth it especially if you want to get there faster i.e. masters degree could replace years of exp. OR if you just want a pay increase I would think that would help
2. if you want to go into a more manager role or step away from purely development then I would say go for a MBA if you really want to get a masters or just dont go back at all and do the transition naturally...just my two cents though.
In the end, I dont think a masters degree in CS is a bad thing

I have done both and can say: IF your product org pays you very well and you like the people you work with stay there. This also assumes you have freedom to do your own R&D projects.

If any of the above is not true go the consulting route with the goal to have your own clients. Its exciting, you pick the people you work with and the work you accept. At the time of this writing there is plenty of software work for consultants who are interested in long term B2B companies. You dont need many. We are a team of 4 and have about 5 large long term client. We are also building a product on the side (and this is the real icing on the cake)

When I made the change I was worried about healthcare. Using the healthcare.gov market place I ended up paying about the same for slightly better (local) insurance.
Looks interesting! Is there a way to get some more 'debug' output from importing?
I tried to import a bibliography I had lying around, but it found 0 articles in it (even though it's valid and has 33 entries).
The "empfohlen" (recommended) in the law is usually fulfilled by the vaccination being officially recommended in the vaccination list by the STIKO of the RKI (roughly the vaccine working group of the German disease control office). But the STIKO very explicitly does not recommend AZ under the age of 60.

The Laender (states) may also recommend a vaccine, deviating from the federal STIKO recommendation. But they didn't really do that either, the wording is always very unclear and weasely around AZ. In several press statements, the phrase "auf eigene Gefahr" (at your own peril) has also occured. So I would wait for a clarification.

Agreed the problem here is the lawsuit. They should have just ignored this guy and gone on with life. Now the they got the EFF to deal with and it serves them right.

On the software side there is no easy way to do fraud auditing and that's that. I just recently took a professional PeopleCert exam online with a guy watching me through my webcam in a closed room I had to display in advance etc and temp installed some invasive application. So what ? If there was a better way to deal with the unfortunate fact that some people will cheat then I would be all for it but just getting all shook up about a temporary set of specific restrictions for a singular type milestone event is a little unrealistic in my book.
There was a driver for Windows 3.x (third party, I think) which made it so Windows programs could play samples. But the computer was unresponsive during playback.

It was still semi-useful, you got the little Windows sounds playing, and if I recall correctly, there was a Windows Zeppelin game which was more fun with sporadic sound samples playing.

I upgraded my mothers 80286 PC clone with a separate ISA 8-bit MFM harddisk interface. I put in an 80486 (SX?) motherboard, which of course had IDE disk connectors. But, partly because I didn't have any spare IDE disk, and partly to make it a plug-in upgrade, I just moved over the ISA card to the 80486 motherboard and called it a day.

It was actually a very productive setup, Word 6 was really fast on that machine and the little sounds from the PC speaker driver as a nice novelty.

I’ll double down on what the GP said: containers provide less security than people imagine, and contrary to your comments Linux control groups provide no meaningful resource isolation.
That's a good point, and certainly an argument for intermediate courses being directly linked to novice courses which cover the prerequisites.

I believe there's also a factor that intermediate knowledge requires much more of a conceptual grasp. Selecting or joining on the correct columns is one thing, but actually knowing when to use what operation and which might have better performance means you need an intuition about the data structures. This is much harder to teach, and probably the only really good way is to get people to attack lots of problems set at the right level of challenge.
In person, a single proctor can monitor 200+ students; our eyes capture far more detail and field of view than computer screens, and our peripheral vision is tuned for detecting unexpected motion. With Zoom, either you have one meeting with everyone in it, in which case students can look directly at each other, or you have a separate meeting for every student, in which case you need a large number of devices, all visible at the same time. I can't see the former scaling past 49, and I can't see the latter scaling past 20. If you had some software designed specifically for this and several big screens, it would still be pretty hard to pay anywhere near as close attention as you can in person.

On top of that, there's always a bunch of annoying mucking about getting set up for Zoom invigilation: angle of camera, light, checking environment, etc. All that needs communication to and fro, and it can take up to 5 minutes for a single student. Now multiply that by say 100 (a bit of parallelism is possible, but individual communication is needed with each student).
The idea is nice, but the search does not work. I tried to look for my own articles, but failed. It showed instead some other articles that for sure don't contain a given work (e.g. I searched for my surname with a word "multiphoton" and yet it showed me some legal articles).
I fully agree with you here that bugs in the software can be mitigated by having knowledgeable staff. But people can only be prepared for it if they hear about the issues beforehand.

That's why I find it so offensive that Proctorio is suing what appears to be university staff to silence them.

One thing to think about, it terms of deep experience, is that in a product role you'll often only be using part of a stack. If, for instance, you are making a CMS you won't touch the numerical parts of the language. In consulting you may get to choose between using more of what's available in a stack or branching out to other technologies.

The entrepreneur thing is true too, I went from an employee to running my own operation and nothing was really surprising. I'm not sure how many other jobs you can make that transition so easily.

AFAIK Amazon Kindle devices can read mobi files but not epub files (unless you convert them to something else first).

I'm sorry but I don't understand what is that circus :Ð
OK. My apologies for being prickly. I guess I spend too much time on SO. I love electronic communications. They give us whole new realms, in which to explore rancor.

I understand. I have not encountered that. I'll look again. In most of my projects, the executables are test harnesses, and not all use SPM. Most of my dependencies are so small, that I might actually be better off directly linking in the source file from inside the package. I do that with the Carthage variants, but the static libs are so small, that I don't sweat it, and it makes life easier, all around.

I know that dylibs are fairly recent additions to SPM. One of the issues that I had with Carthage, was that I was constantly screwing up the signing. Since the libs were so small, I just said "Bugger this for a lark," and directly linked the source files. Since Carthage checks out in the project dir, this was easy. I use a separate derivedData directory, so it's not so straightforward to directly embed SPM source files. I haven't tried the new resources in SPM modules, yet.

Thanks for following up, and again, my apologies for overreacting.
Thanks. That helps a lot to clarify.

About a decade ago (or more) I knew a chap who had worked for a bank in Gran Canaria. He resigned, in order to leave for the mainland, but to his surprise his salary kept being deposited in his account.

Rather than report this, he spent the next year "on holiday" at full pay, until eventually someone realised and the money stopped appearing. He said he felt a bit aggrieved by this - as though he was entitled to it.

There was no follow up action by the bank. I expect that it is a bit embarrassing for a bank to make such a mistake and so they just decided to sweep it under the rug.

I assume the person you're replying to was referring to Markdown rather than Bookdown. It seems that Asciidoc was designed for the direction which Markdown has going with all these variants. If you find yourself chasing these Markdown variants to get more flexibility, then Asciidoc might be what you're looking for.

I don't know anything about Bookdown and it may be similar to Asciidoc. I would be willing to bet that Asciidoc would be around longer than most of the MD variants though.

Why might you want to continue using MD flavors? You already have loads of MD docs and you have no control over the processes which create them (shared environment, higher-ups force you to use MD, etc.)

NOTE: If you're interested in Asciidoc, also take a look at Asciidoctor.

Because those driving the development have no interest in RAID5/6, they do not need it. RAID5/6 is enthusiast/SOHO feature, and these groups do not take part in development, so no wonder it is neglected.

In fact, I will combine both points: it is more effective/economical for everyone, who needs RAID5/6 with btrfs to get an UPS than to pay the manhours for the development. Additionally, it would be an expense incurred by those who need it, not by those who do the development currently and do not need the feature.

What I've learned about Fulfillment, Happiness and Success
I have a few functions in my bashrc for fast directory navigation.

up <#> - cd .. # times

upto <dir> - find dir in the current path above you and cd to it

down <dir> - find dir in the current tree below you including inside any number of subdirectories and cd to it

https://github.com/robmccoll/dotfiles/blob/master/bashrc#L15...
Isn’t that the highest amount ever paid when compared to radio, cd, etc. I think the difference is that it’s distributed uniformly to all artists as opposed to CDs where Paul and Kate got high percentages but almost all others got zero.

So the percent paid is higher as far as gross in, gross to artists. But the outlier rates are lower because there’s no special contracts.

I guess an equivalent is how much is the total ad revenue for radio vs what’s paid to artists (not labels).

Or the total revenue made from music retailers CS what’s paid to artists.

The novelty with streaming is there aren’t tons of steps and indirections.

>It is really useful to hoard! Not to ge rich, but to avoid getting poorer in countries with rampant inflation.
>Also it facilitate money transfers a lot.

You do realize that, because the total number of bitcoins is limited, it will get harder and harder to get bitcoins? So every generations will have to work/fight harder to get their currency, which is extremely unfair? Why would a newborn have more trouble to get his hands on money compared to the ones (like myself) who had it easy to buy cryptos while it was cheap? And what about increase/decrease in population: central bans may implement bad policies but at least they did not tied their hands in principles (e.g hardcoded limited number of coins) and can adjust things as they are needed.

I understand your argument as "humans do bad things today, let's hardcode things with technics" without consideration as to why the hardcoded things will remain beneficial to all/most in the long term. Humans are fallible and inconstant but they are human after all. We can't do without trust so why try to replace it with mathematics anyway? Only because we _currently_ lack trust? If so, shouldn't we focus on that instead?
In France clients can't be arrested but providers yes. Not sure your definition of "prostitution has become fully legal" means.

So since the prosts can still be prosecuted, we still have many for the east, on the streets by all weather, working in awful condition for a low amount.

I live in HK now, where prostitution is fully legal (prosts won't be arrested as long as no pimp involved and one client at a time) and it's better, we don't see them in the streets and the fares are much much MUCH hire compared to France. They seem less drugged addict possibly.

It's anecdotal and there are so many differences between France and HK that I'm not sure what I'm comparing exactly :D But, more legal protection seems to provide for better conditions, not a surprise.

That might not be a great example. The meat industry is pretty notorious for euphemisms. They're usually called "meat processing plants" rather than "slaughterhouses". When farmers need to conduct a mass extermination (more officially referred to as "depopulation"), one common technique is to shut off the air supply to the barn which causes the heat to rise so the animals suffocate and roast to death. The technical term for that technique is "ventilation shutdown". And that's all without getting into whether terms like "meat", "sausage", "beef", "pork", etc. are just polite ways of saying "parts of animal corpses" and "livestock" as "animals that we feel are acceptable to kill."

When you can self source all the significant aspects of a "store", why have a "store"?

The only reason I can see is to advertise the availability of the app and link to it's location for manual updates. But, but, security and malware scanning? Already built into Windows. And "stores" have not proven to be any better.

Maybe there is something to be said for this but is searching a "store" really that much of an innovation over searching the web?

A "store" is really just a monopoly control gateway --- as Apple and Google have proven.

> it's better to call a spade a spade.

There are slaughterhouses that have different jargon, but even "slaughterhouse" shows your point. I'd put out there that slaughterhouses don't have the best track record of humane treatment and when efforts are made to improve, they often backslide into old habits (even at the cost of productivity). All of this is about mindset. So, picking a different name and not encouraging your butchers to see themselves as executioners would probably help. (Temple Grandin's books provide this insight)
Honestly, it's fine to not choose higher education but IMHO use of surveillance methods should affect where you apply, not whether you apply.
