But i think it's OK to install the software just on a laptop you'd use to take tests, some old laptop, and keep yourself free of surveillance otherwise right?

That's a fairly classist assumption that someone has multiple devices, including some older piece of junk that's late model enough to be useful for test taking but still essentially a "throw away." It implicitly means that adequate right to privacy is only reserved for wealthy kids and not for anyone who only has one computer.

That's not to suggest that I support this assumption even in cases where it's true. I'm just trying to point out a common blind spot that leads comfortably well-off people to often act with callous disregard towards those who have less because it isn't a big problem for themselves.

Thanks for your work!

A 4-day work week seems so cool. Sometimes there are national holidays on Mondays such that the weekend is 3-day long. The weeks seem so well balanced that way. I suspect the 4-day week is actually more productive than the traditional 5-day.

And let's face it: nobody works very hard on Fridays ;)

I hope your project will contribute further to that scheme.
We use Octopus Deploy. On commit it autodeploys to dev and sends the team a slack message ([environment] version x (previous was y) deployed by z). Prod deployments are also done through octopus but "manually" by the team when we are ready to make a release. Usually every week or two.

The software is only running during the test. Most students install it on their main laptop, and they don't seem to have much problem with that. It runs with elevated privileges (so it can make sure it's the only program running), and it's proprietary, both of which I have objections to, but unless I'm missing something and Proctorio is quite different from the software I've used, I don't see much problem with it. In Covid-19 times everyone puts up with things they don't like.
Without taking the aforementioned steps I specified, power loss is not an atomic event, because most databases nowadays rely on the fsync(2) system call to tell them when the I/O has completed. If the fsync(2) call is unreliable because it is lying about completing the requested I/O, the RDBMS stands no chance of guaranteeing atomicity. I am sorry.

Just for the record, San Francisco has the OTHER corpse flower, the dead man's corpse flower or Titan Arum. We talk about a flower that can measure more than 3m.

Some people could wonder why Rafflesia is the biggest flower in the planet if there is a 3m flower around. The explanation is that what is shown in San Francisco is not a single flower. Is a bunch of flowers shaped as a single one. Thus, Titan Arum has the biggest group of flowers in the planet, and Rafflessia is the biggest single flower.

This one is not a parasite and any brash gardener can culture it (and enjoy the experience of be hated by the entire neighborhood). We all have at least one of its cousins at home in fact. Is very easy to culture.

Actually a piano accordion, but it's been refreshing learning to play the bass buttons. They increment in 5ths along the main axis, but with an offset row also giving quick access to a major 3rd up or semitone down.

My primary instrument is piano so it's definitely involved rewiring my concept of which notes are 'close' and 'far' to match the circle of fifths. Until now I never noticed how in addition to the usual cadences, many tunes have further rising/falling sequences of 5ths in the bass.
I think it's a bit more fun to test the stability by setting up an interferometer :-)
Agreed -- containers are certainly being overused these days, I find a big indicator of when people know what they're talking about is when they mention/realize that docker is containerd these days (docker is simply a shim over containerd which uses runc underneath), but it is absolutely still very buzzword-y.

I think we've basically stumbled into a very effective and widespread packaging paradigm though -- now you don't even have to pick the right language/toolset to get static binaries easily -- just throw a container over the wall and your filesystem requirements (mounts), network requirements, etc will be made pretty obvious to the person doing the deployment

Thanks! The algorithm works iteratively, so essentially each iteration it makes small changes and then checks if these changes are optimal. (There are many more details described on the wiki [1])

The frames of the glasses were preserved because the algorithm "decided" that it was optimal to keep them with the limited number of points it has to work with.

I’m not wrong just being more specific. All three engines frustum cull by default and all three do it at the level of the complete model. I said Unity and Unreal don’t frustum cull at the level of the individual triangle which was the factor the person I was replying to insinuated Godot lacked.

This is great, especially the SF example as it reminds me of Brian Lotti's paintings [1]

A common technique for painters is to establish areas of colour in the scene that are similar even though the eye perceives them differently. For example the shade beneath a tree - while complex in reality - can be easily represented with a single stroke of darker colour.

Zooming in to the SF example [2] you begin to see how this scene could be painted, which makes me think this tool could be a useful guide in painting tutorials.

Personally I simply swapped to using HyperV for other VMs when I needed them. Turns out I didn't need them that much anyway once WSL2 got good enough.

As for performance - I game on Windows still with WSL2 turned on. As long as you limit WSL2's memory usage a bit as described in another thread, I haven't noticed any performance slowdown in Windows. (On the other hand, I have noticed that IO on the linux-side is so much faster in WSL2 than WSL1, which was the main reason I swapped as soon as I could.)
The "Rust Book" says signed integer overflow to be two's complement in release builds and panic in debug builds:

That's clear enough for programmers to rely on. It is nonsense to argue that this is equivalent to C's "the compiler may do anything it wants" just because the "Rust Book" is not called the "Rust Standard" or not "formal" enough.

It’s as if nobody has ever read George Orwell’s 1984:
“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense.”

>> selling the vaccine to whoever pays the highest price

It does not appear the AZ are shipping vaccine to customers based on price. We know that Pfizer are, which is why Israel has been able to pay them a premium to get vaccines first.

Rather, AZ appear to have set up manufacturing dedicated to particular contracts - for instance separate manufacturing in the EU, manufacturing in the UK, manufacturing in the US, and manufacturing in Latin America. They seem to have written contracts that say 'you get what your dedicated manufacturing produces'.

The dispute between the EU and AZ is about whether the UK counts as being in the EU - in my opinion AZ appear to have taken money from the UK to build factories there, included those factories in the EU's contracted dedicated manufacturing when they should not have, and then refused to give the EU the vaccines from these factories.

This became relevant because AZ manufacturing yields are lower than expected - less vaccine than expected is being produced for a given amount of manufacturing capacity - so the bugs in their contractual arrangements have become visible.

So, I agree that AZ screwed up, but I disagree with your model of why.

> Then you will want to manage the configuration file and to browse logs, and you ll have to mount files to you container. And your deployment start to reimplement (a subset to your needs) what distros did System integration complexity didn't disappear thanks to containers.

Agree, but my view on this is that the implicit answer of how you do all that (i.e. the file system, syslog) is now gone. There will be pain (complexity) in the short term, but at the end of the day, we're going to be able to build much better orchestration and systems. To kind of restate that, before you had to worry where a process wrote out it's output (stdout? /var/log/<program>? /etc/<program>/logs? /home/<user>/<program>/logs? syslog?), now you know want to get the non-stdout/stderr logs of the thing you're running, you'd better give it a volume to write to (which may be fake, and actually write everything to some remote storage or something), and I think that's a step forward.

Of course, I'm not saying containers should go everywhere -- relying on boring VMs over containers is fine too -- but I think rich world of functionality available to container-driven workflows is popular for good and bad reasons, and the good reasons are worth exploring/beneficial to me.
I joke, but I also do not. The inevitable conclusion of this path with bitcoin mining is the fastest path towards creating a black hole. It's the exactly perfect incentive structure to maximize speed towards a blackhole ecological disaster.

That's the dean's mistake. This kind of software categorically does not detect cheating, and cannot be relied solely upon; only a staff member can make that decision. For example, I had one student using proctoring software whose father came into the room during the test, and I as the supervising staff member recognised the event for what it was and ignored it.

I don't much like such software, but I accept the current need for it. The problems people are describing seem to be faulty staff behaviour, not software.

I think the article totally miss the point of why we use female (high pitch) voice instead of male (low pitch) voice.

In a public environment, the majority of the lower spectrum of sound is flooded with the surrounding noise what means that if a low pitch noise is used it will barely be understable. High pitch voices are well better in theses cases because it uses the less busy part of the sound spectrum resulting in clearer sound. There is nothing to do with gender and patriarchy.
If your software is ethical, why smear your own name by bringing a spurious lawsuit against a singled out individual like this?

There are real concerns around privacy with software like this - what will happen if some criminal finds an exploit in Proctorio's software? This kind of monitoring software is often designed to be hard to detect or bypass, and installs itself in ways that are challenging to remove. Development of this kind of software should be done with a high degree of caution and care. There isn't a risk that an invigilator will be compromised by a malicious actor, and then see every detail of students lives and all their private data for all time. But this risk does exist for software.

If Proctorio takes legal action like this against critics what does that say about their software?
I disagree with this. The police aren't made any better off by getting a guilty verdict. They take their salaries home either way. As it should be.

Society benefits when the guilty are in prison and suffers when they go free. If a person is guilty and the police made a mistake, we should correct the mistake the police made, including by firing people responsible or pressing criminal charges if appropriate, but malpractice by the police should not exonerate a guilty person.
Prostitution in Germany is fully legal - sex workers have access to health care and (should) pay taxes. The Saarland, a state bordering France, has the heighest brothel concentration in Germany, due to french visitors coming to use the services.

In practice, the offering of social insurance is hardly used, and I would say you will have a hard time getting a receipt from a sex worker with displayed VAT (or the legal requirement to express VAT excemption if the sex worker is below the legal income threshold).

Anyways, trafficking is still a thing, and you as a customer can be arrested if you have reason to believe the sex worker is not willingly offering services but coerced or forced to do so.

What the invigilator sees, stays in his/her head. They are not recording things with their eyes; this software is doing that (I'm not sure of the extent, how much is client side vs server side, anonymization levels etc). However, I'm making that assumption based on the fact that if a person disputes something, a recording of the event would be required to ascertain the facts. That kind of information can be damaging in case of security breach; e.g. someone could have a habit of picking noses when lost in thought or changing clothes during the exam (they might reasonably do that in their home and not in a public exam with invigilator present). If such videos leak due to security breaches and catch circulation on internet, the people in them can be subject to ridicule or invasion of privacy online.

You can't predict demand perfectly, but you absolutely can predict demand. In fact that's exactly what everyone is doing when they speculate.

A lot of companies that sell products (non open source ones anyway) actually try to bloat the binaries and deployments to make them look more significant. Many gigabyte installers are not that weird for some products, where I found (for fun as corp wise we cannot really care) the relevant software we are paying for to be a few mb and it doesn't need or even touch the rest the rest in the package for 99% of cases. But it seems/feels like you are paying those $100000s for some serious big software.

When software was still delivered in physical boxes, I noticed the same thing and I even found products in the past where the .exe had megabytes of random data attached to it to make it look bigger.

With Docker images it's all a lot easier to bloat things up and 'hide things'; I used to pack up our main product in a chroot tgz (this is early 2000s) with an installer, so I did not have to actually think about different linux distro's or installers; I know for a fact that some people bought our product over competitors because the installer was so large in size so it looks like better value. People told me when I asked them afterwards why they did not go for the competition. And this was not intentional; it just had a full Debian install in a chroot.

What relationships? In the UK, most people find contracts on job boards. You just filter by "Contract", instead of "Permanent". After that, there's a job interview etc. The advantage of being a contractor is that the interviews are much more relaxed and there's no HR involved in them at all.
