It doesn't if the examiner understands the material. You can't bullshit someone who knows much more about a topic than you do - bullshitting with confidence will only make you sound like a fool.

If the examiner isn't much more knowledgeable about a topic than their students, then something else has gone wrong.
SqlDependency...now that's a bit of a blast from the past for me. I remember helping a customer get up and running with that, sadly it's so long ago I don't remember the details, but it was a fun diversion from the daily grind :)
I'd be curious for the podcast link if you have it handy.
There are usually policies to give guidance and mentorship on 'academic conduct' for minor and first-time offenders; but if the cheating was so extensive, then that's a serious dereliction on the examiner's part.

I can understand why it happens though. For the professor to take it further, they'd have to escalate it within the school, involving a whole load of bureaucracy, meetings, production of evidence, and likely a formal hearing with the student, etc. Unfortunately, there's often no incentive or institutional support for professors to do any of this.

Wow, TIL. It had never occurred to me that anyone would deliberately blow diesel straight out the exhaust. Every diesel (4x4) owner I’ve known specifically optimises the other way.
Add a tab character in there (before the space) and you're even better!
> In case someone still finds this thread: standards my ass.

The standard is there. If people decide not to use it that's on them. Just because the US decides not to use the SI units, that says less about the metric system and more about the US.

Most countries in the EU (AFAICT) do use the ISO standard.

The fact that one country does not use it is not an argument that that standard is not a standard.
> Very common among farmers here in Norway. ^^

Another question: are Norwegians overrepresented here on HN? I've been wondering this for a while but I'm unsure if it is that or of I just happen to notice everyone who in any way signal that they are Norwegians.

(Yes, I live in Norway to.)

If you agree to the statement that any accountant which uses Excel formulas to do bookkeeping is also a software developer, then yes, you and OP are correct.
Person you're replying to didn't say that the protesters killed anyone directly.They said "lives were lost." But it is obviously highly probable that those death occurred due to their activities.
Exactly. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. 8GB of M1 RAM is very different than 32GB of standard DIMM-like RAM.

Sort of like when people compare nm of processes on the chips. You can't just say "oh, their number is smaller, it must be better."

To be sure a device with 16GB of M1 RAM should be more competent than 8GB of M1 RAM, but now that's apples to apples.
Yeeeesssss.....buuuuut....

Only for certain books.

Book DRM has been a nightmare. Tying a book to certain readers is an automatic showstopper for a lot of folks (like me). I recently bounced a tech book I purchased, because I had to download their crappy hybrid app to read the book. The same people that sold it to me, used to sell unlocked reflowable EPUBs (my preferred format), or watermarked PDFs (I have no problem with simple margin watermarks). I'll lay odds that the app they make you use phones home. I didn't bother downloading it, or reviewing their privacy policy.

I'm not so concerned with privacy, as I am, with perpetual access to the books I want to read, on whatever reader I want to use.

I often go back and re-read books, years after the the last time I read them. I want to have that book available, then.

Also, this goes for all types of media, region locks are garbage.
Definitely. Install a code formatter, make it part of your linting process so that it fails your CI, run it on save in your editor, never have boring conversations about formatting ever again with your team.
So a future hypothetical AMD processor could be as good as the M1, and that shows how M1 is just marketing hype?
Dave2D just reviewed the new surface laptop comparing it to the new MacBook Air: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKN9nvXTGHE ...and he got pretty good battery life (11 hours on his own benchmark).

edit: form factor, performance, build quality.. is also up there, I just didn't mention it, because I think the battery life is the killer feature of the M1.
A sizable chunk of published psychological findings may be false

Note that a competent full-stack Scala developer like Thibault can easily make €70-80k at a French company while working mostly/fully remote. And even more so going into contracting and/or working for foreign clients.

He has his own reasons, working on his own thing being a huge one obviously, but he could definitely make more and keep a similar lifestyle.
I'm typing this response on a 8GB M1. It's great, but its no magic. Its limitations do start to show in memory intensive and heavily multi-threaded workloads.

After Github has enough data, it can automatically identify malicious contributors. Facebook, Twitter, already do this for spam. But you are still going to need manual reports to get data.
Parent is probably referring to ~2000 to ~2010.

Generally speaking, AMD had some more advanced microarchitecture features than Intel, leading to better per-clock performance.

Intel marketing struck back by emphasizing GHz, GHz, GHz. At least until Pentium 4 scaling hit a brick wall.

Then, a chip was sold as a "Pentium 4" "2.8 GHz" (or a "Pentium II" "300 MHz"). No other codes.

By the end of that range, the multicore era had started, and both Intel and AMD had moved to new systems of processor labelling.
I would trust a distribution with systemd _more_ than I would trust one without it. Systemd has a lot of knobs for sandboxing services now.
I tend to fully agree with the thesis. Sadly, there's nothing to return to, so I am condemned to live in a current barren wasteland of modernity.
(Curious) why? VScode, Chrome, and a terminal running a local server usually will do fine with 16gb or less. Are you testing with or querying massive data sets locally or something?
> Well, these days it's harder and harder to avoid it if you want to write efficient apps - we got more cores and the clocks remain more or less the same.

There was some article a few years ago that said the apps they looked at didn't actually run faster after making some routines parallel, so it depends, and you will definitely have more debugging to do.

>As I understand it, the demon is not supposed to be a supernatural force, it's supposed to be a physical component in the system.

if you did that, it would be obvious what the problem is with the thought experiment: physical components have entropy. moving pieces need motive force which make heat, and movement also makes heat.

the thought experiment only makes sense with a nonsense demon, because the though experiment isnt possible.

The M1 isn't what kills x86 (if it ever does completely). ARM kills x86.

Microsoft is working on the ARM transition. ARM has good control of mobile hardware. And Apple will be only selling ARM hardware (in the form of Apple Silicon) in another 12-18 months.

M1 and Apple Silicon are just part of the trend.
Why do you think you have to be a 'software' developer to write code though?

So far the most useful thing I have found has been the bangs from duckduckgo.

With it I can avoid an additional search and go directly search the place I want to look whether that is python docs, rust docs, Wikipedia, reddit or Amazon. Heck I can forward myself directly to google too.

All of this with just a !w, !a, !python3, !rust, !g added to my query.

I understand why google doesn't support this, largely because they want people to stay on the google page and be subject to ads.

I just question the utility of showing advertisements for at least programming related queries where I think the direct to websites seems a lot more useful.
Only on the pro's. The base iPhones still start at 64GB. But that's a heck of an improvement from a couple years back when the entry was 16 GB!
Originally, my memory says "i7 meant 4+ core & hyper threading", "i5 meant 4 cores w/o HT", "i3 meant 2 cores (with or without HT)".

Yep, if you're running big IDEs (e.g. Rider/IntelliJ, Visual Studio), containers and VMs, 32GB is really a must. There always seem to be people in these threads claiming that 16GB or even 8GB is enough - I just don't understand how that could possibly be for most of the HN demographic.

> I've always thought Intel's marketing was a bit confused - i7 stays the same over 10+ years with only the obscure (to the general public) suffix changing from generation to generation.

It's been a mess for a long time. An i7 may be less performant than an i5, which may be less performant than an i3...all depending on which specific processor is chosen.
Node sizes are pretty meaningless at this point.
This is hotly debated in the US, I will grant, but it seems -most- US lawyers agree personal ripping of "encrypted" DVDs is Fair Use.

https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/is-it-legal-to-rip-a-dvd-...

Some like to claim DMCA could be used to prosecute someone for bypassing the encryption on a DVD for personal backups but this has, to my knowledge, never been tested in court when an individual defendant was purely using it for personal backups.

There has been a case in favor of DMCA seeking to restrict the release of selling products that allow users to to this: https://www.eff.org/cases/realnetworks-v-dvd-cca-realdvd-cas...

That was an insane call, and it is a pity they didn't appeal as AFAICT.

A similar issue to this was challenged recently with DMCA being used to stop the distribution of the open source youtube-dl tool making the same anti-circumvention claims but in the end this fizzled out as having no merit.

If anyone from Hollywood really wants to test this in court I will happily publish a video of myself ripping one of their DVDs that I purchased for personal use. It would not be a good look for them to to anything about it, and would bet a -lot- that they lose. Still, I would like to see this chilling effect gray zone be put to rest so people are not scared to use their rights.

Because it makes no sense.

If you group by one column, there might be multiple rows for a single value of the group column. And multiple rows means there might be multiple, different values to choose from.

And because SQL doesn't "guess" which of those you want, you are forced to tell the engine which one you want. Either by specifying an aggregate that picks exactly one (min, max, ..) or an aggregate that works on all values (avg, sum, ..)
I think the OP is saying that it could be a mistake to focus on the processor so much when it might turn out that worthy competition is just around the corner. Apple have ever focused on processor like this before, instead opting to focus on the whole product, fit and finish, etc. Which arguably still very few rival them on even today.
In addition to the host country's potential concerns, donated computers often contain private data that the donator thinks has been deleted. If a country is known to have a hacker program, I certainly wouldn't want my computer going there even if they can buy factory grade ones.
Yeah, I bought myself a new PC two years ago or so to replace a 5+ year old one, and the difference was... okay? If it was twice as fast (mostly for gaming) I'd already be impressed.

Whereas back when (thinking of early 90's) you'd upgrade every three years and be taking massive leaps forward. 10x increase in disk space (40 MB to 500 MB), or going from diskettes (~1.5 MB? I don't even remember) to CD's (650MB). We went from Wolfenstein to Half-Life in just six years (it felt longer).

Mess up in Teams? It'll wait until you finish the next word (charitably, giving you a second to figure it out?) then will suggest a different word than Outlook would.

Good point, that could be the source of confusion! The "Threaded" in "Threaded Interpretive Language" has a very different meaning than operating system or cpu "thread".

https://wiki.c2.com/?ThreadedInterpretiveLanguage

>A ThreadedInterpreter is an interpreter written using a technique called threading (not to be confused with threads for concurrency) that entwines the 'get next instruction' operation of the interpreter with the actual instruction. This reduces the 'get next instruction' overhead and generally results in a 10% performance increase. [...]

>An excellent work on this subject, containing a complete TIL implementation for the Z-80, is Loeliger's book ("Threaded Interpretive Languages" R.G. Loeliger, Byte Books 1981, ISBN 0-07-038360-X).
I have a copy (I should have bought three) that I picked up in the years of Forth's waning "public" popularity. I've seldom had a such a lucid book that described the implementation details of a language.

I’m not so sure. I think it reaches a meaningful maximum. Can I do an entire days work on the laptop? Yes to both. Can it last an entire flight, even a long one? Yes to both.

It’s not that it doesn’t matter at all, it’s just that it matters a lot less once you’ve checked boxes like that. The effective experience of both would be “you only need to charge it overnight”
Awesome. The copyright industry actively misleads customers with these words. People think they're buying something but the truth is they own absolutely nothing and have effectively no rights.
2.5GB/s isn't really all that extraordinary speed anymore.
And yet, for work I'd like to see something 10x as powerful as a phone still. The differences in performance between the two is quickly becoming less and nonexistent though.
Yeah 32gb is my baseline now. I could probably work on a 16gb machine now but last time I was using an 8gb machine the memory was nearly constantly maxed out.
I'd believe that - because the average user likely doesn't do anything more than Facebook, Instagram, general browsing, word processing etc.

I'd also believe it, since the number of laptops available with only 8GB of RAM is ridiculous - I swear it's because more prevelant in the past few years, presumably because of RAM prices.
In Sweden, the biggest clubs are less likely to retain the best talent, which keeps this more in check. That's less true in the big 5, from which the ESL would have been drawn. The German Bundesliga is an incredibly stale competition, for example. But hey, so is Ligue 1. I'm not really arguing either way, I just think people should be careful what they wish for, and there are plenty of clubs that are happy with their ownership.
I think that's a bit dramatic. I'm using a 16GB M1 Macbook Pro as my daily driver doing standard, boring professional work (lots of email, tabs open, PDF manipulation, Word, Excel, etc). It performs as well if not better than the 2018 Macbook Pro it replaced with 32 GB of RAM and an i7. And it cost less than that one.

The iMac will perform comparably (probably a bit better due to better thermals). My point is that these are not bad machines and I don't see why you'd steer someone away from them. However, the price is still quite high compared to other manufacturers and options. But that's always been the case.
Great Britain is an island. It's not between Germany and Russia. If you're a country between powerful neighbors with history of waging wars on you, you either need to be very powerful, or you need an alliance. Poland is far from powerful. It's not going to get powerful in the foreseeable future. Therefore it needs an alliance.
In the video, he mentions the 'max time use' is on somewhat standby. So, the second value is more representative (11 vs 13).

On the other hand, I think if you can go a full day on a battery, that should be enough. You won't be using your laptop for 20 straight hours.
Yes. There are many successful arrests of people who would face the death penalty if convicted without them being killed.

The number of police killings are a very small number. This is blatantly obvious to anyone who cares about the truth.

And I'm strongly against police brutality.

But you don't solve that by being ignorant about what actually happened in reality.
True, but that's what OP claims.
> petty theft

Petty theft to us now, but in previous ages there was much more scarcity, so any particular item would have been a higher percentage of a person's 'wealth' (property).

Further remember that labour is the use of one's most precious resource, time (spent living), for either money or goods (if one crafts something themselves). By stealing a possession, you are stealing a portion of a person's life (that they use to earn/make that possession).
How Tiptap does HTML cleaning and sanitizing from different browsers? E.g. edit rich text tables in IE and after this editing them in Safari could be broken. This has been an acute pain for all WYSIWYG editors for the last 20 years. Especially ProseMirror shines to solve this problem as it encodes everything to Markdown.
Why does Apple bother with the 13 inch MacBook Pro if it has the exact same processing power as the MacBook Air? Touch bar and 2 extra hours of battery life aren't enough to differentiate the two. My guess is that Apple does intend to differentiate the M line but hasn't been able to do it yet, for what reason I don't know.
Well, I'm not familiar with your product but for example, if there's a bug #bug-789 reported that affects version 1.2, a developer does a fix to that version with commit message like "fixes:#bug-789", automation in the CI can use the bug tracker API and send information to the bug tracker: version 1.2 contains a fix for #bug-789 now. Or it could even say 1.2 was fixed in patch 1.2.435.

Users then could for example ask, I have version 1.2.322, what bug fixes do I get if I upgrade to 1.2.435 (latest). With this information, you could answer that with a view in the bug tracker.

But some companies might use a different versioning or patching scheme. So the bug tracker would need to be general enough to support those different processes. The key is integrations.
Funny. Except there are fully supported MacBooks from 2013 running the latest version of macOS, still on their first battery, still bringing people joy and productivity.
