Why would you compare the death rates from a pandemic that happened immediately following a devastating world war, with famine and poverty all across the globe, at the very beginning of real medicine, in a world of borders; with one happening in 2020 in a globalized world where we have access to much more advanced medical knowledge, and where an outbreak in Wuhan can become an epidemic in New York?

Not to mention, the initial death tolls in the unprepared places, like Lombardia in Italy or Iran, should be motivation enough for a quick and decisive response. Unfortunately, neither the US nor Europe nor Russia were smart enough to take such an approach, and instead of a quick and thorough lockdown + contact tracing that would have hurt daily life for maybe 2 months before back to normal, with almost no casualties (see Vietnam to note that this was entirely possible), we are getting 2 years of lukewarm responses that leave the same order of magnitude of deaths as the 1918 pandemic.

glibc APIs are occasionally deprecated, usually because they are broken or dangerous. A well-known example is gets[1] which is impossible to use without introducing a buffer overflow. Less well-known ones include readdir_r, sigpause, register_printf_function.

APIs are occasionally broken too, although that would be a bug.

At least one API is known buggy and hasn't been fixed: fts_open. It only works properly if used on 32 bit architectures. [Edit: I just noticed that glibc got around to fixing this - yay!]

glibc+Linux is not entirely conforming to POSIX - threads being a good example where it differs in some significant respects from what POSIX requires.

Sometimes POSIX itself isn't well defined. Until very recently it was not properly specified if a file descriptor is closed if close(2) returns an error. Some POSIX systems closed it, some didn't, some closed it on some errors but not on others; and most programs wouldn't retry the close on error so would leak the fd. It has since been changed so that the fd is always closed even in the error case.

That means no security at all. Without a way to link files being hosted to identity or inspecting the contents of the files, there is no barrier to prevent spam and illegal files from being hosted.
You have no idea how much software I ship, but like your ideology, you make assertions without data.

You act as if the only people who are killed by police are "one of my brothers and sisters".

Let's unpack that, shall we?

https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

Roughly 3/4 of people killed by police in the US are not one of your "brothers and sisters" if by "brothers and sisters" you are referring to humans who share your melanin content and location of ancestral origin (of course all humans are descended from African humans, but to suit the purposes of demagogues, we can ignore that and just stop at the arbitrary point in lineage where we can maximize division to reap power).

As you read this, it is extremely likely that you cant name a single one of the non-black people killed by police last year, can you? Of course not. Or even in the last 5 years, can you? There are 3 times as many of these people as the group you are ethnocentrically focused on.

Let's also talk about the "sisters" aspect. Statistically, women killed by police are minimal. The referenced website, run by activists, removed the filter for women, but you can download the data yourself to see that it's a minimal amount.

Based on the logic of this movement created by people who don't understand basic stats, the discrepancy between men and women must mean that police are systemically sexist against men, right? Because only the outcome matters, and all explanations except bigotry must be ignored.

A big difference these days is that when a non-black person is wrongfully shot by police, the complete lack of national media coverage allows the police to get off scot free.

See Daniel Shaver, who was recorded on camera being executed, unarmed in his underwear, begging for his life, by a psycho cop.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv_eyGw4s3w

Unlike Chauvin, said psycho cop was exonerated and dismissed with a full pension, as if he honorable retired. Where were you and BLM? Nowhere, because it's a bigoted, ethnocentric movement designed to divide rather than unite.

You should ask yourself why you used the phrase "brothers and sisters" about people who share your ethnnicity, and why you don't use it for all humans, like I do. Ask yourself if you've been sucked into the precursor to pure racism, ethnocentrism. Ask yourself if you've allowed yourself to be misinformed by media designed to monetize your confirmation bias, rather than inform you.
Ah, yes. Let's just obfuscate every humanizing aspect of our lives to ensure we are seen as a replaceable cogs in the money making machine instead of real people with feelings.
There's also https://snapdrop.net which seems extremely similar to sharedrop.io but has an additional useful feature of letting you send messages which I sometimes use to send links to devices that aren't logged into any service.
Unpaid internships are quite legal in the US as long as the intern is receiving benefits from the arrangement[1] - this means that an unpaid intern running to fetch you coffee and pick up your dry cleaning is almost certainly illegal in the US. Additionally, unpaid internships are extremely rare in technology right now due to the intense market demands - if you dangle an unpaid internship out in the market you're not going to get very many bites as everyone will either go for prestige focused internships[2] or just an equivalent internship that actually comes with a salary.

In non-tech fields this sort of thing is much more common and, at least when I went through school in the States, the fact that you might have to work an unpaid internship was a reality we all accepted (the cultural perception may have moved on). It's not illegal but it's possible very few HR person would allow such a posting - internships aren't profitable for companies, so most of the unpaid internships were teensy companies that hadn't realized that their interns would actually cost the company money regardless of the salary.

2. Which is it's own problem - working an internship at Google is basically having Game of Thrones on your IMDB page and the FAANG companies do exploit this perceived prestige.

Many professionals--yes, including developers doing something on the side in open source projects--can have a lot of different motivations. Yes, in some cases, doing free stuff is at least loosely connected to what they're paid for. But, especially in the case, of people like business and technology consultants, they'll often speak at a conference for free depending upon their business model and other choices.
My experience with fast path ADSL was about 8 ms. I don't think I was on interleaved ADSL, but interleaved VDSL2 is about 20ms.

Just curious - have you ever earned money directly for yourself or have you only ever gotten a paycheck from a company or other person?

AFAIU, the passenger compartment will indeed have identical angle and acceleration in both cases, as there is no other way to cancel lateral force.

What is likely different is the stability of tilted tracks (reasonably easy to make nice continuous tilts and turns) and tilted train's uncannily small lateral force, while still having time and angle discrepancies and inferior smoothness causing very noticeable over and undershoots.
I think Cisco's context-sensitive CLI really nails this problem. If you've never used it before, pressing "?" at any point in your command will show you a big list of all the possible inputs, and a brief description of what they do. Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb7k5eo3lJw
Yeah, but per the Musk quote, I bet you really could pack enough solar panels into the Chernobyl exclusion zone to overtake the power produced by the plant itself.
Well how are you making them, how many are you making and how much do alternatives cost?

Economics vary wildly over time pending circumstances, but are irrelevant to the question of whether something is a technological dead end. To be a technological dead end there must be an alternative technology that accomplishes the same feat in a fundamentally superior way, such that regardless of the economic situation or future development it always makes sense to go with that alternative outside of niche applications.

This case is very different than an internship, Netflix producers appear to be soliciting a working professional photographer.

That rate is very likely to increase as time goes on and reactors become older and thus more prone to failure/some freak low probability incident happening.

Do they? My understanding was that the performer receives no money and lays out no money, with the Super Bowl funding the show and getting the star for free.

As in many things, this is an example of an equilibrium that probably doesn't precisely identify the relative value of each party's contribution, but which is very easy to agree on.

Unpaid internships, probation etc. historically were created because you'd have completely unskilled labor that wanted a job, and for the company it would take resources to train the person on the job. Which made sense a century ago for the industries of the time.

However, in the modern age, companies require a certain amount of skill for even the most entry level job and the colleges kind of take over some of the responsibilities of training the unskilled labor. At this point, unpaid internships no longer are about companies sinking cost into people without reaping benefits.
The biggest changes will be made by businesses since they are much more price sensitive than individuals. A lot of things will happen that you don't even notice

Say you are choosing between 2 otherwise identical apartments that include utilities in rent. One building is more energy efficient than the other thus can charge less in rent and still make as much profit. Even though you are getting a dividend check you will still choose the lower priced apartment (if you are a rational economic actor).

Multiply this scenario across the billions of economic decisions across the economy and it adds up quickly.

In your specific scenario, since the initial tax is low a few pennies in added cost won't really matter, gas prices go up and down already. But you know that the price will continue to rise, so if you are a rational economic actor, the next time you buy a car you will take that into account. And by the time you need a new car the price of EVs may have declined enough to be cheaper than a new gas car, as they are predicted to be by the middle of the decade (fuel and maintenance are already significantly cheaper).
Why does it say "We don't recommend using docker-compose for production."?

I'd like to understand the reasoning behind this. Thanks.
The biggest reason these features should never have been added in the first place: the more opportunities everyone has to notice and be reminded of everyone's differences, the longer those differences will remain divisive.

So because people are discriminatory, we shouldn't be more inclusive at the risk of enabling those who...discriminate? The only reason these issues are divisive is because those who are insecure with their personal identity make them divisive. We shouldn't appease discriminators at the cost of letting people express their true identities.

Also, you cannot "remotely capture" ethnicity and culture in a single color code, even yellow. Yellow is light and implies a lighter skin. It's inherently (no matter how you want to argue it) promoting or portraying human skin as light.

I'm not sure where you get to your conclusion but it seems like, based on the adoption of skin tone variants, the only ones amplifying exclusivity are those that want things to stay exclusive.

Math is what helps us better understand reality and bring discovery that benefits everyone, yet, here we are discouraging students from being interested in advanced mathematics. It's an appeal to lowest common denominator.
It's cosmically ok for things to plateau, but from a local perspective I'd be concerned if HN were plateauing. It would mean that something else was wrong. Probably a lot else.

Saloni Dattani, another brain researcher, points out there are strong measures of gender-based brain development and that Rippon (mentioned in OP article) appears ideologically biased to assert that the brain is "unisex." Dattani's podcast with Julia Galef on this is worth listening to: http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org/show/rs-239-saloni-datt.... It is pretty meta and doesn't fall strongly on one side, but it does dissect the lack of objectivity in the greater discussion.

Netflix is rolling in billions of dollars. They get favorable tax treatment in the US with the expectation that those savings will "trickle down" and effect job creation. That doesn't work if the people calling the shots keep all the money for themselves.
How can you have an article like this without a single mention of OnlyFans?
But isn't your restriction of my language and how I refer to the people I love pretty much the opposite of "inclusion"?

What if my wife would prefer if I referred to her as my "wife" instead of as a generic, faceless "partner"? By insisting that I refer to her as a genderless "partner", you are failing to respect her chosen pronoun.
> Mathematics pathways must open mathematics to all students, eliminating option-limiting tracking.

A lot of people are down on this idea, but what about the argument that these schools are failing to educate half of their students by tracking them into low-expectation classes?

If you decide in the 6th grade that a student is not going to make it academically, you're perpetuating a cycle of failure.

Dividing students into tracks and providing different resources to each track is a great way to provide a separate-but-not-equal experience based on race or class.
Someone complaining they can find senior engineers, but not junior engineers? I would gladly trade places with them!
My current company looks at internships as a way to promote working here. We want interns to be successful, learn and enjoy their time. It's a larger investment than hiring off the street but the reward for those who get full time return offers pays for itself ten times over.
Yeah, exactly. Either not successful enough to game or... Nice problem to have? Maybe?

"The push to calculus in grade twelve is itself misguided."

Well, I kind of agree with that in a perverse sense - half my UK school year started it at the end of 5th form (age 15-16) (in 1984), which was a massive help for those moving to do A-level Maths in the 6th form.
Just because some people think it's fair and wouldn't accept it also doesn't mean it's wrong and should be stopped.
I'm afraid I felt that the spaced repetition questions on quantum country were a complete waste of time. There I was struggling (a lot!) with trying to work out how on Earth to think about C^2 (the space of 2-tuples of complex numbers, which you might semi-naively think of as 4-dimensional but that's probably a terrible mistake, but anyway that's not really germane to the point here) and the spaced repetition questions were asking me totally superficial questions, of the sort you might expect to be given to a 13 year old.

I couldn't help feeling that this was likely to be a manifestation of the common desire nowadays to make things "inclusive". I would love for things to be inclusive, but we mustn't let inclusiveness be correlated with dumbing down; that will in the end turn out to be a toxic correlation. And there is a limit to how inclusive you can be about complex vector spaces and their use in modeling information in such a way as to facilitate non-classical computing.
Some internships go higher, but those tend to be in the trading/quant software of things. (see https://www.levels.fyi/internships/)
The discord you're experiencing in your career is real, and to some extent it comes with the profession. Companies are in the business of making working software on time. But you can't always make software work on time. This puts stress on you.

You're trying to get managers to stop setting bug deadlines on the theory that they don't understand that it doesn't help the situation. My assumption would be that they don't care that it doesn't help, they want me to do my job.

I've worked for management that not only showed no signs of understanding the nature of making software, but also didn't understand the nature of making money. A much more serious problem in my opinion. Their job is to bring in the business and your job is to make the software work on time.

It wasn't clear to me earlier that you may be dealing with executives by proxy of a project manager. That's a worse situation because you can't level with a project manager, they are stuck in the middle. You may want to go over his head (if you report to the p.m.) but if you do that, do not complain about him or anything else, bring only solutions and charm.

See my other comment for some more constructive and specific suggestions.

I've had this same thing happen with a piece of furniture I was putting together. I ended up realizing their phone support was wrong and the manual was wrong too. So I emailed the support to tell them how the step actually needed to be completed so they could pass it along to fix the manual. I guess they didn't understand, as they replied to my email telling me again the wrong steps and that I had built mine wrong.

A couple weeks later I got an email from somebody higher up thanking me.

This is not really relevant to the Tweet but I wish companies spent more time on their manuals, I consistently get frustrated with how ambiguous and sometimes wrong they are.
lol at the irony of the downvote without a response :)
If I were in your shoes (and I often am, in various other contexts), I'd get the cheapest SDR dongle, and then use your favorite search engine for tutorials (there's plenty).

First two hits for "how to get started with sdr" on duckduckgo give you awesome starting points:
- https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-quick-start-guide/
- https://hackaday.com/2012/06/27/getting-started-with-softwar...

From there, figure out what device you're going to target. The 434 MHz devices are quite ubiquitous (and easy to understand) -- door bells, old school thermometers, remote switches, what have you.

Even without your own device, I'm sure you will find plenty of traffic near you (if you live in a reasonably densely populated area), so you can at least practice.

And then it's down to grinding it out -- read docs, experiment, repeat. :-)

HTH.
