This article really resonated with me. I'm an undergraduate math major, and classes being all-remote this past year have unfortunately reduced chalkboard use among both professors and students. Particularly, I have been unable to go into lecture halls after hours and do homework on chalkboards like I used to.

I much prefer to do work standing up at a board where I can physically step back to get a literally different perspective on what I have written. The ephemerality of a chalkboard also far surpasses paper, which means there is less commitment for writing anything down – it thus feels more conducive to proper scratch work where ideas are tested and perhaps backtracked. Plus, as the article covers, there is definitely a feeling of having created something artistic when the problem is solved and the board is covered top to bottom in symbols. (Though I haven't had occasion to draw any interesting, abstract topology in my studies.)

To make up for the lack of access to chalk boards on campus during the pandemic, I built one in my room, along with an automated system for scanning flattened images of it. It took about a weekend to set up, and I've used it every day since. Some technical details for anyone who may be curious:

I'm all for benefit of the doubt in conversations about touchy subjects, but your post did seem to imply a defense, rather than just an observation. I wasn't sure though, so I didn't comment.
That depends on your tooling! Lots of async programming has debuggers that tracks what you might consider to be synthetic but more useful backtrace.
Actually they're limited to 29 mph, which is fast enough to ride the green wave. And they require a DOT-approved helmet, but I don't see anything saying it has to be full-face – although the ones they supply are.
Maybe that level of athleticism should be separated from education and run as actual business with people paid as actual athletes for whatever their market value is.
In my experience, GDB running commands on a breakpoint is generally much, much slower and more prone to materially changing the timing of things than printf.
I get this, but I refuse to believe that 80% of websites that employ this are actually using this technique.

No, the context menu variant (<menu type="context">) is deprecated. Hence, why the deprecation note is on the example of that variant, not on the element

of course, much of the rest is experimental and unimplemented.
Thanks, I'm not sure if I want to run a browser that old though... Security-wise. Even if it's probably ok now, it's never going to get updated.

I wish they just supported sideloading of extensions. I wonder how developers are supposed to test their stuff on mobile.
Why not just add an action to the conditional breakpoint that prints the value?

The entire point of the article is that the policies are bad and unethical. The NCAA is a system built to exploit college athletes from top to bottom.
> I don't get printing being often ridiculed

I just told one of my co-workers last week that I was going to print-debug an issue. He paused for a moment before saying, "Uh, I can just debug this for you if you like."

So yeah, there's definitely some kind of stigma against print-debugging.
Indeed. Publicly commenting on it would expose the potential vulnerability (i.e. the accidental leakage of traffic onto the public internet).
Check what gary_0 posted above on Maria Anna Mozart.
It’s not just about enforcing the rules, it’s about the appearance of enforcing the rules.

The NCAA need to seem important, which means they need people to break the rules regularly and be punished for it. That’s just one of many ways their fucking over students for the NCAA’s benefit.

The appropriate response is for students to boycott the NCAA, but socially and financially that is a huge hit. Normally the way around this is a union, but good luck getting one started.
But then we'd damage their profits. The system you're describing is how it works in most of the rest of the world.
Really? I use Firefox literally all the time (with the minor exception of some internal work sites where they require Edge) and while all captchas annoy me to no end, recaptcha does work perfectly fine on Firefox even with uBlock origin and pihole running. Both on Desktop (I use FF on Windows, Mac, Linux and FreeBSD :) ) and on Android.

What is the problem you're seeing?

In fact I really rarely have any issues with FF whatsoever, and if I do it is always either uBlock Origin blocking a little bit too much, or a site that specifically rules out Firefox (like https://business.apple.com ), probably for no real reason other than not bothering to test their site with it.
If you push for free markets, Big Oil isn't going to be the first to yield. If we can't get rid of CO₂ subsidies, solar subsidies are necessary.
Somehow? Money the spent is money in the economy, not in the government. It’s pretty easy to understand, I think.
Himalaya, the CLI email client: v0.2.7 released
I live in a country with extensive cartel activity, and can safely tell you that there's no need for them to hire specialized assassins from some shadowy international network. Instead, they simply use their own psychopathic people to get the job done as requested. Quality of killer (or group of killers) will depend entirely on how difficult the target is. The cartels have MANY members, direct members, who can be found for jobs of variable difficulty: a few random jacked up sicarios to spray a bar full of people where some low-level target who pissed them off is drinking, or for more protected targets in higher-level settings, a couple of ex military or ex police types (also very often employed by cartels as active members) who know how to use weapons well and with more subtlety, and target someone after some careful surveillance. Both happen often and sometimes a mix of the two kinds of killers is used, or other methods such as explosives..

Furthermore, nobody in their right mind would try to use such a favor against their cartel bosses as leverage. The police would likely never touch the case or care about it at all and the cartel bosses are in any case usually well known in ways that make new accusations of murder irrelevant, and very easily capable of butchering whichever random hired killer did indeed try to threaten them somehow.
It still means power for air conditioning is ~free during the day when it's most needed, and you could pre-cool or pre-heat a bulk block with high heat capacity, then slowly use the heat/cold during the day.

You can charge the electric cars when there's an excess, so in particular all the extra load from electric car charging that some people were so worried about is no longer a concern.

If it gets cheap enough, you can overbuild capacity so that you have just enough power if it's a bit overcast, and way too much when there's sun (since solar cells can be safely "turned off" as far as I know, unlike conventional plants).

If we now get some process for capturing carbon from the air where electricity is the main cost (i.e. overbuilding capacity and using it only 20% of the time is affordable), we now have a place to put all the excess electricity during peak.

Moving is also extremely expensive and isolating. If you can't afford housing, you can't really afford moving either. They can either stay where they have social and charitable connections and maybe irregular work to a place where they have none of that with a much smaller job market. Plus, if you have no home, job or other creature comforts, it's kind of nice to at least be somewhere familiar. It's not surprising people get stuck where they are.
Sure :)
500B€ (yes, half a trillion !) invested in wind turbines in Germany over 20 years.

Check the result https://www.electricitymap.org/zone/DE, Germany is ~300g of CO²/kwh, France is 50g.

Why ? Because when there is no wind, no sun, you need power. And then you're burning gaz or coal. So you "erase" all those 0CO² days.

Also solar panel efficiency fades over time, you loose 50% of efficiency after a few decades. Wind-turbines have 25y life expectancy.
There are languages with nice optional types, which maps nicely to SQL null. Not Javascript though and I wouldn't want to use it server side.
I run the utilities at night because electricity is cheaper then. I'd run them during the day if I had solar.

It's a bad system - at least for athletes. It's inherently exploitative. I'd liken it to nearly-free labor. The athletes had no idea they were infringing. The NCAA and the schools make money off these athletes. The schools self-reported. There was no recourse for the affected individuals.

The incredible power imbalance between banning these athletes from making money, and then turning around and doing it yourself while being judge, jury, and executioner, makes a mockery of the talent.

These are barely "amateurs" in any real sense, the system exploits that fact and the seal of approval "amateur" status brings to rake in money.
I actually find GDB to be a fairly good debugger, but you need a bit of work in how to translate what your IDE is doing into something you can do in GDB.

Evolution takes a long time. And there aren't many (any) environments that we've identified and can reach which are conducive to the sort of life we know about. Also it'd be a bit presumptuous for us to colonize a hospitable planet for our own experimentation.

But it's an interesting question. In fiction, I can recommend Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time, and sequel Children of Ruin.
There are so many chance events that could have gone differently and we would not have existed.

If not for an asteroid, the earth might still be populated with dinosaurs. Would they have evolved to our degree of intelligence and civilization? Who knows?
> I think we should try to reform how policing is done to improve these issues. But I also don't think it's the crisis that our society has made it out to be recently.

Perhaps because you don't see yourself as being affected by said perceived crisis. For affected groups, it is very much the crisis it has been made out to be. Besides, shooting statistics are often symptoms of deeper issues that need addressing.
I don't think this gives appropriate weight to exponential growth.

If humans are ever able to leave the earth and even theoretically establish permanent habitation, it's unthinkable that no other civilization has done so.

If they're using them for internal networks, they'll (probably) work just like they did before. It's likely many folks are using these as like private RFC-1918 addresses.
+1 meowface 23.

Sorry, I'm pitching in because I can't help myself. I agree with meowface23 and it is for a really weird reason. I spent the last few weeks watching compilation videos just like you describe except they are of military personnel returning home <they are awesome and sweet, but really scary> because I need the emotional lift, but these videos weren't meant to be wildly shared. They contain identifying information which could be very dangerous to our armed forces. I think they should be taken down, honestly, but that's not my bailiwick. The owners of the content intended them to seen where they were placed <otherwise they would have placed them on other platforms themselves>. If I understand what you are doing correctly, you are violating their express intentions for your own benefit.
> How are you supposed to figure out that A happened before B in a multithreaded program using only a debugger?

Breakpoint at A, breakpoint at B, both automatically continue when hit.
Yep, and they already do it voluntarily in the US.
It depends on what you mean by "a norm". In the United States, hundreds of millions of dollars in political donations are performed privately, via super PACs and "dark money".
Bureaucracy run amok.
I thought it was because Germany shut down its nuclear power plants and ramped its coal generation up? [1] Germany poorly managing its power grid doesn’t imply that renewables aren’t economically rational; it implies Germany makes irrational national policy. France is primarily nuclear powered, as you point out with their low CO2 emission footprint (compare the generation mixes of both countries in ElectricityMap, I’m familiar having contributed generation data for Europe).

Solar panels retain 90% of their production rating after 25 years, and can be recycled at end of life, as can wind turbine blades (with the turbines repowered, typically generating more power than the previous equipment).

What’s with the FUD? Definitely feels like there’s an agenda when the data is objectively clear.

I don't usually resort to a debugger to hunt for bugs, but I use them a lot to explore APIs in "real time". I find them much more convenient than the likes of Postman.
We know a lot of ways to store power. The trick is storing it efficiently. If we have enough surplus power (which may be the case in a few years), efficiency becomes less important.
The mods on this website are self serving nigggergagggggotss. You are not entitled to free, on topic and engagement with engineers to boost your rotten vulture capitalist garbage obfuscated products and pathetic “hacker” forum.

Your point is wrong if poor documentation exists.
Not really - most of this subthread is about people replacing their use of a car with a bike. In that case, you have to do the same number of km. They're probably not people who commute 50 km each way, but there aren't that many of those anyway.

I also disagree with looking at absolute numbers. Of course bikes look better there because compared to cars, very few people cycle in most places. Relative numbers are the only ones that make sense. Apart from this, I drive and cycle, and it seems obvious to me that cycling is considerably more dangerous. Everyone I know who cycles accepts that it's a case of when, not if, something goes wrong, and the consequences are obviously much worse on a bike.
I think that you don't see how much land you actually need.
Maybe in America there is plenty of space, but in Europe it's way more difficult. To replace one nuclear reactor, you need ~ half of Paris in solar panel. And still need energy "at night".

Yes heating water, or cooling places are nice. But your trains ain't gonna work "only when there is sun".

If you need backup at one moment, you need 0C0² backup and basically: Or you build dam, or you build nuclear plants.

If you build nuclear plants, it's basically dumb to have plenty of renewable next to it…
Thank you.

I appreciate that simple touch
They have an SDK from what a colleague tells me who uses it extensively and also sometimes have secondhand units available, ask their team or join the mailing list.
You think the article is trying to convince the reader that the majority of Americans hold the quoted views to their specific extremity, and that this is part of a larger effort by "those in power"? Combined with your dramatic quote (Orwell is getting a little tired these days), this seems like an exaggeration to paint a conspiracy for the purpose of playing the victim.
Another disappointing story about the NCAA. I don’t know how to fix it, but since the NCAA represents the schools maybe there should be a parallel body to represent the athletes.
I hate the NCAA so much. I can't believe they have the gall to say they need to maintain amateurism while so many people and so many huge corporations make billions of dollars off it. Why does paying the player hurt amateurism but paying the coach doesn't? Why would a player making $50 to sign his name on some hats ruin the game, but CBS paying the NCAA billions for the rights to broadcast the game be totally ok?

If they want to insist amateurism is so important, then fine. Be amateur. Have student volunteers do the broadcasting, don't show any ads during the game, and take all the money out of it. Otherwise don't tell me players are the only ones who can't make money off of this.
You’ve only used a debugger a couple of times in 10 years? Yikes.
Perhaps the people using a debugger have it set so it can give them a picture of the overall behavior of your program.

Have I been tricked, or are you being pedantic? Based on my experience looking at a variety of specific city, town, and county zoning regulations I hardly see any that allows a primary dwelling anything close to as small as 120 square feet. 750 square feet? Sure, there's a bunch of those. 400 square feet? Some. Less than 400 square feet? Hardly any. Even places that allow accessory dwelling units are rare/uncommon.

The places where an overwhelming majority of people live (where the jobs are) have zoning regulations that do not allow 120 square foot houses, or anything close to that small. There's a lot of people who want a tiny house and can't find a place to legally put one. It still looks like zoning defines minimums for the most part, not safety codes, and there is a big difference, which was my original point.

Do you really think I'm that far off on this?
> Defense Digital Service (DDS) authorized a pilot effort advertising DoD Internet Protocol (IP) space using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This pilot will assess, evaluate and prevent unauthorized use of DoD IP address space. Additionally, this pilot may identify potential vulnerabilities. This is one of DoD’s many efforts focused on continually improving our cyber posture and defense in response to advanced persistent threats. We are partnering throughout DoD to ensure potential vulnerabilities are mitigated.

Interesting, seems an effort to find out who was abusing ranges that were exclusively allowed or disallowed based on the ranges. Malware that tries to look like something else that uses a state level IP range to evade blocking, or check for blocks.[1]

>I interpret this to mean that the objectives of this effort are twofold. First, to announce this address space to scare off any would-be squatters, and secondly, to collect a massive amount of background internet traffic for threat intelligence.

>On the first point, there is a vast world of fraudulent BGP routing out there. As I’ve documented over the years, various types of bad actors use unrouted address space to bypass blocklists in order to send spam and other types of malicious traffic.

Cloudflare example shows how much traffic some of these ranges that are included/excluded have when turned on.

>On the second, there is a lot of background noise that can be scooped up when announcing large ranges of IPv4 address space. A recent example is Cloudflare’s announcement of 1.1.1.0/24 and 1.0.0.0/24 in 2018.

>For decades, internet routing operated with a widespread assumption that ASes didn’t route these prefixes on the internet (perhaps because they were canonical examples from networking textbooks). According to their blog post soon after the launch, Cloudflare received “~10Gbps of unsolicited background traffic” on their interfaces.

>And that was just for 512 IPv4 addresses! Of course, those addresses were very special, but it stands to reason that 175 million IPv4 addresses will attract orders of magnitude more traffic. More misconfigured devices and networks that mistakenly assumed that all of this DoD address space would never see the light of day.

Looks like a new cybersecurity policy/process started on inauguration day. Probably a defensive or offensive measure to combat the supply chain attacks that may well have used those ranges in evading blocking.

Why use a front company? As a honeypot.

If other scammers are using spoofing the ranges then another company does it, that doesn't raise alarm in the other entities abusing the same trick.
If you announce it as DoD then it may scare off the others.

In any good investigation, you want to shroud the data/intel collection. Using a front company, or series of levels of fronts, is the way you have to go about it.

Indeed. But where are the wokepeople from UMass Amherst? They are all about social justice, why can't they do something for their own students who are being taken advance of by college sports?
You don't even need a decent climate. I live in Portland Oregon where it is cloudy for 9 months out of the year. In Portland, anything we generate beyond what we can use is fed back into the grid and given to us as a credit. We generate enough solar power credits that we don't pay anything for electricity year round other than a $12 monthly fee to be tied into the grid.
