Does this solve real people's actual problems?

Selling the 32 gig SD card together with an Android app to browse the data seems far better. The majority of the world either has an Android phone (possibly a decade old), or a family member with one.

Have the android app available in the app store and the data downloadable for those who occasionally have internet connectivity (for example visiting a big city), but don't have money for an sd card.
In addition to the use cases mentioned, I'd love to have an offline reference like this when I'm developing in places without internet access.

If you've already been programming for a while then a great project is to reimplement the language in itself. You'll reinforce a lot of aspects of the language while you do this (since you'll be looking up what syntax exists and what it means exactly, all the time). Plus, building language implementations is always fun.
In the Bible, someone asks "Who sinned that this man was born blind, him or his parents." Jesus says "Neither," rejecting the assumption that his disability is a punishment.

Mozart was deaf and five of his six siblings died young. He was constantly I'll, couldn't figure out how to manage money, was physically deformed and died at the of 35.

You have no doubt heard of Stephen Hawking, one of the great minds of our era and seriously physically disabled.

A controversial bit of trivia is that Ashkenazi Jews win a relatively high percentage of Nobel prizes. They also are a population that sees a lot of genetic disorders and no one knows how to really sort out if or how those two things are related.

Genius is defined in part by simply being different. Being different is often reviled.

What is a bad thing in some situations can be a good thing in others. Evolution sorts "good" adaptations from "bad" based on who survives long enough to pass on their genes and this is why Sickle Cell Anemia is common in some populations: It confers a survival advantage to the population as a whole for the gene to proliferate (though it's better for the individual to have only one copy, not two).

There is no clear bright line between disability and "normal people." We all tend to see a loss of various abilities as we age and some studies suggest that most people (around 60 percent) struggle with some ordinary tasks while two thirds of them actively eschew the label disabled.
> But you know they don't mean it. So why say it?

Certainly not hypocrisy. It's platitudes. Polite, positive things you can say when you can't think of anything better.

>Ever think it makes the person feel worse rather than better?

What statements would make them feel better?

>Probably makes you feel better, I guess that's enough of a reason to sugarcoat the truth.

If anything, it allows them to avoid feeling worse. And why should they not be allowed to do that in a presumably casual conversation?
I think currently it is a bit biased towards users with low comment count. Top similar user for me had 4 comments, top 2 only 1 comment. Then top 5 and top 6 again had 1 comment each.

Maybe the similarity score can be weighted by the number of comparisons somehow?

You can convert between any RHEL-like distro by changing your repos, swapping/removing a few key packages (release, branding, subscription-manager certs if converting from RHEL) and then running distro-sync to make sure your other packages match your repositories. This can be done transactionally via the "shell" subcommand which allows you to run multiple commands in a single transaction.

YUM/DNF can do the whole thing without much fuss.
Can you even imagine the cost to Apple/Amazon/Google if the white hat community decides these companies have no ethics or integrity, so why not just go black hat instead?

For me, there is no single go-to project that fits all languages. Each language has it's own purpose.

Go and Rust are fairly similar in terms of parallelization and performance. Both are general purpose languages and are great at solving system problems. Choosing a toy project that requires these perks will yield the most satisfying results and enables you to get a good grasp of why those languages exist, and where their differences are.

Both languages empower you to build inter-system applications, both languages are highly performant and both let you build safe and tested programs. A distributed ray tracing engine comes to my mind - it would allow you to let both languages collaborate, compare solutions to problems between the languages and get into the nitty gritty details of memory management, allocations, garbage collection etc.

This would probably be my pick, because you can build and improve it for years if you really want to put the effort in it.

Here's a great primer on that topic - it's still actively developed and made me look at modern ray tracing technology in awe.

Not necessarily. Driver QA & signing is not malware exorcising magic.

If you are a genuine hardware vendor, giving them an actual, working driver binary so they can run whatever QA and static static analysis test suite on the binary, you might have the benefit of a doubt and get it signed once it passes.

That assumption of good faith mixed with "Betriebsblindheit" is probably all it takes to get a signed driver with a backdoor/rootkit/whatever in it.

For comparison: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26887670

EDIT: I'm not trying to imply that's what happened here, we don't have enough details yet. Just trying to point out, that binary signing isn't a panacea and doesn't require Ethan Hunt cable dangling into a secure computer room to work around.
There are also many, less intuitive reasons why continued commitment over time on the student's part is critically important. A student who is not sufficiently committed to her education might manage to "cram" for a test (often with strenuous, even painful effort!) and perhaps pass it, but then not put any attention into reviewing what she has learned, which sets her up to fail later when she will be expected to be familiar with that content and tackle new material that depends on it. It can be a self-sustaining cycle of failure.

Just pick any random trait and assume that society values that. The hypothetical is basically saying, “This human has traits that society values, therefore, between a choice of someone who has the trait vs not, we should side with society and choose the person who has the trait.” In this case, the assumption is that society values beauty or aesthetic pleasure (which might be connected to some evolutionary imperative).

It does require a cold distancing to arrive at conclusions like that. Some people find it hard to betray their own internal moral intuitions. I think that that is a symptom of the radical subjectivism/individualism that is dominant in Western thought. The question then is, do you value your individual, subjective intuitions, or do you value objective, disembodied concepts? For example, some of the conclusions that Peter Singer has reached are controversial, but his lines of thinking are arguably consistent, insofar as his ultimate aim is toward a system that respects all sentient beings’ interests judiciously, and does not prioritize the interests of any individual.
Yeah its like they sold them to people based on individual photos but people would never have expected them to be all crunched together and identical like that. The article puts the failure down to the economy but there's no way anyone would have actually wanted to live in this place.

Like you say - the people that did the layout for this development had no idea what they were doing.

Or the plan got iteratively worse - e.g. there were going to be 10 different house types but it got whittled down to 1. Everything was going to be very spread out but then they progressively had to plan for less and less land.
> It sounds like you’re arguing about who deserves the prestige of going to Lowell rather than who actually benefits and contributes to the experience of attending classes at Lowell, which is the most populous school in San Francisco and has fairly large class sizes and tough grading.

As we agreed that social economic background is a major predictor of admission, claiming that poor kids can’t benefit nor contribute to the experience of attending this school is a weirdly classist statement. It is also based on the assumption that to be able to read 3 novels in a year and to learn the cosine law, one must be a particularly gifted kid and not just a random 10, 13 or 16 year old.

Highschool prestige is a concept that I understand but I that I don't accept. Like I understand why some primitive tribes practiced human sacrifices, but I wouldn’t let them do such thing near me. So I’m not arguing for that. But if we accept that highschool prestige increases your chances in life, then state schools should distribute this privilege equally.

> Instead of pretending that all students are equally prepared for class or that every teacher is prepared to serve every kind of student at the same time, reformers should try to figure out exactly what the students such as the ones in the article need for motivation. It doesn’t mean that they lack "merit" or that people who don’t want to go to a competitive college are bad people. It’s ok to acknowledge that different people have different needs.

I insist that we should reason on why some minorities are significantly underrepresented. We may conclude that only gifted kids can attend this very important school and that kids from minorities are less likely to be gifted, but I wouldn’t be too sure of either.

If we find out that, say, blacks are significantly underrepresented because they come from disadvantaged backgrounds, then the admission process is at least classist, knowingly or otherwise. We may also argue that it perpetuates class and racial differences.
Claiming that these kids have inherently different needs is like saying that my child should become an engineer because I’m well off, so he needs to learn advanced maths and whatever, and these children should serve food and clean toilets because they are poor, and they only need to learn who’s the boss. This is, like it or not, very very classist.
People have been treating Rocky as a done deal, a ready to go CentOS replacement for months. It will be very soon, hopefully, but the developers haven’t claimed to ready.

Using Rocky Linux as a basis for a long term production system is still a few months or perhaps a year into the future, and people need to let the team get everything in place before complaing that they can’t seemlessly move from one free OS to another.
You may not care whether the consultant pays the taxes. The lawmakers that define the tax laws (implemented by agencies like the IRS in the specific case of the USA) do take into consideration where the money goes.

If the IRS currently doesn't care or doesn't check, that's a specific implementation issue of your country. Laws can be changed

Failing perceptibly composes better than failing loudly. It's easy to go one way:

assert(result);
return result;
}

but going in reverse is difficult.

It shouldn't have been denied because the H-4 isn't tied to a particular H-1B employer but to your H-1B status which presumably you have maintained. An option which you should raise with your lawyer is to file a nunc pro tunc H-4 application.

Where do the cars go? Seriously, if you are trying to sell to rich people from the middle east you must include a multi-car garage, and some extra uncovered spots too. Look at any video from Dubai. Cars are a cornerstone of wealth display. Multigenerational families, servants, children ... they all drive cars, big cars at that. Without sufficient parking these things would barely qualify as hotel rooms. I'm not sure this development was ever a real thing. It looks like a scam that went too far.

> I mean if I install rocky Linux 8.4 will I still have a supported OS at 2029?

I'm not sure that's a fair question to a new project. If you asked that recently about Windows 10, you'd have a different answer than today.

But seriously, Rocky was started by the person doing CentOS before and unhappy with changes. They're at the very least not planning to go away.
I've tried the silkworm. It's... not very good.

> You sure about that?

Absolutely, 100%

Because I originally looked into this claim that they dumped all of their files online the first time I saw it made, several years ago. And it wasn't true then either. And it's not been true any time the claim has been repeated since.

Here's another post, from a couple of years back, hinting at what this folder is really for [1], and another from 4 years ago saying same [2].

Here's another post debunking the claim this is a new dump, 6 months back [3].

This post from 4 years ago, references the same folder, and one of the comments states it was made public 18th October, 2016 [4].

— What evidence to you have to suggest that these repeated false claims about a new dump suddenly have merit now, in 2021...? Particularly in the light of all of these previous posts over the years debunking the exact same claims, or discussing what the folder actually is.

The only 'evidence' to support the claim, it would seem, is the link to this 'file' folder, plus the claim itself. Which honestly amounts to nothing, and has been doing the rounds for years with no further evidence to substantiate the claim.

Clearly there is lots of easy to find evidence to support the claim that this folder and its contents are nothing new, nor particularly special that is not already offered on WikiLeaks website.

Why? CentOS was already a terrible choice, artificially slow release compared to RHEL, now you can choose from:

-OracleLinux (pretty good..and no i don't like oracle itself...but the Wallpaper is extremely beautiful..UEK is cool too)

-RHEL (free for up to 16 instances)

-That new one with A

-That Chinese one with the UNIX certification

At least in the US, having a certain number of presales is literally a requirement to get loans for developers. My folks bought their last two houses like this. I bought my last two condos this way. All before ground was broken, average wait time of about 2 years.

Note that in these cases a presale does not mean the property is fully paid for - it means that some deposit and paperwork have been filed and that the final price on close of escrow has been locked in.

This, and also:

- Infineon and ROCA. We know the code audits the industry does are superficial and do not catch the worst bugs. That code would've been a big red flag for real cryptographers, and it would've been quickly found had it been open source.

- Government requirements. Stuff like FIPS certification decreases security by increasing bureaucracy and complexity. See vulnerabilities affecting only the YubiKey FIPS for an example. These certifications hold the industry back by mandating compliance with large suites of algorithms, forbidding newer, better cryptography, and stuff like that.

- The general culture of that industry. They sell security, and they are all about audits. Those audits are about ticking boxes. They do not measure good design, overall defense in depth, or anything like that. They are bullet point lists of security features and specific attack models. Interesting attacks use novel approaches, and those audits are completely worthless at determining whether a system is likely to be designed in a way to be robust against new attacks or not.

I struggle with alcohol dependency because I have a great time with alcohol. However, I am pretty sure it hold me back and makes me unhealthy and fat.

I did go to an AA meeting once and honestly it creeped me the fuck out. Extremely culty, the people pouring their hearts out was moving but the level of fucked their life had become honestly made me feel less like I needed anything that severe.

Alcohol consumption is a fun, positive thing in the most part for me - it is a culture I enjoy. I know it is expensive and there are multiple downsides, but I'd be interested in a more reasonable approach to reducing the amount I drink, something less absolutist.
You will. Considering how easy it is to convert between distros with DNF (I've often wished APT had distro-sync) I'd be surprised if there were any real issues upgrading; it's most likely just left to the user's expertise to fix things should any issues arise.
The first thing I thought of immediately was "paying no taxes has become easier than ever".

That is an interesting problem set, but with some serious difficulty spikes due to specific problem domains. I use C++ and Go professionally and think I'm pretty competent at both, but I've never had to write a GUI, and wouldn't really know where to start, other than to go read the docs for Qt, try to put together a build script, and then cry a lot - but if I had to do it with a gun to my head, what I'd probably do is write a web server and let the browser be my GUI engine. And then the whole third set... HTTP server/client are both scalably difficult depending on how much library support you lean on (raw sockets to HTTP is approachable, but I'd rather use Boost), but I'd have absolutely no idea where to begin with the email client.

All investments entitle one to all future productivity produced from said investment. This is the central idea of ownership.

The new capital is _produced_ by the workers, but it was done with initial capital that is _owned_ by the capitalist. So unless you agree that these initial capital is not worth anything (despite it being required), how can _all_ capital belong to the workers that made it? After all, the workers agreed to receive their wage in exchange for producing, using the seed capital supplied by the capitalist.
A fair summary would be "often very well, but not always". A good exmaple would be the S2ORC dataset [0]: a dataset of full parses of scientific PDFs.
