After watching presidential candidates speak for groups like AIPAC it seems donors “incentivise” the candidates to support their greatest ally with billions, and without this support, winning the election is unfeasible. A small investment giving a big return, out of the pockets of Americans.

I'm not that big of a movie / tv show fan, I mostly watch while eating or when winding down for the day, so I rarely look for something specific. I'm very happy with Prime Video's offer, which is basically free for me, since I had already subscribed to Amazon Prime for regular shopping.

For my use, this is much less friction than any searching and waiting around for torrents or whatever to download.

There's also the discoverability factor. Not following current movies / shows, I don't necessarily know what shows exist. So browsing through random lists and then checking if they're available to download from enough people that it won't take a week is way too much work when all I want is to mindlessly watch something right now.
Best part was that a sysop entered the room and within a second knew that I was the problem and that I was playing doom. He just told me "if you wanna play games instead of studying than play doom 2. This does not broadcast"
More than 4000 rockets, about a third of which failed and crashed in Gaza, killing and injuring their own populace. And yes, this is post wartime propaganda.
Why not simply cook at home?
Maybe they just think it's more effort than it's worth to host controversial content. If people file complaints about the videos, they'll have to assign someone to determine if the content is credible, and have to deal with the risk of not censoring some videos that should be censored, or censoring some videos that shouldn't be censored.

The low-effort option is to just shut it all down and be opaque and hand-wavy about the reasons. Which is to say that they're betting that few people actually care enough about this stuff enough that it would cost them revenue.
Says who? Why?
I was thinking about how many of the trades would still exist in 20 years due to automation. I find it hard to think of houses built with robotic electricians or bricklayers reducing the costs. Maybe if prefab wall panels came with wiring and wall sockets built in?
I was sitting in an escalation-call, called by one of our most important customer and India’s largest ISP.
There were 13 of them, 3 of us, and only 1 technical (that’s me).
Things were super intense, extremely heated debates were going on, I was fixing a few issues, while answering the questions coming my way, in parallel I was also chatting with my teammates, who were back in the office and were on support calls with the same client’s ops team.
And, then it happened -
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql (i was already sudo su)

Escalation got further escalated - “Dashboard is not opening”

For a moment, I was shell-shocked, couldn’t hear a thing, just sitting there frozen.

Then i remembered the backup, i, against my usual style, took and the mysql replica i hosted, just as an insincere effort to calm the people in the room, i got to work. Restored the database, re-ram a few etl jobs, and we were back up online.

I was relieved, and actually quite happy, started interacting with the people in the room again, and showed them the system robustness even under a disaster, two of the 13 caught my bluff, but were smiling, They winked, turned back to face the others, and the heated debate continued.

The escalation went up till the CIO, but the guys who caught my bluff, never gave my deed away (in return i had to code a few more features and reports, just for them).

Don’t multitask, especially with a sudo access.
> are we the baddies

I'm quite torn. I feel like a dissonance in theory and practice is at play here. If you ask people about "American values" a lot of times you'll come up with things around freedom, liberty, in general individualism and protection from the "other" of tyrannical government. That's the theory. In practice, those individuals that make up U.S. intelligence agencies justify the dissonance between their tyrannical actions and their ideals by arguments such as "if it were the Russian/Chinese/Other on top things would be worse", etc. All boiling down to "necessary evils".

So, which is better, a tyrannical regime that professes values of liberty or a tyrannical regime that tacitly admits that it's tyrannical?

I feel like I may be betraying a bit too much of my lack of authority and competence on the subject, but there's something that has stuck with me as the central point of one of the sides at the end of the anime "Legends of the Galactic Heroes". SPOILER Paraphrasing: "Democracy may be just as bad for the people as autocracy, but at least in democracy the people deserve their fate".
Is this supposed to be difficult? If you are a "software engineer" and find this difficult, perhaps you need to find something else to do with your life. This is the equivalent of asking an electrician to install a new power socket.

I think this is saying that the information can not be extracted and used outside of the processor, not that that the information can't be cleared and the device factory reset.

The biggest concern this presents is if your CPU dies and you want to recover your encrypted disk. All of this is the same situation with T2/M1 Macs or iOS devices today.
Single family houses are typically wood framed, yes. Exterior differs, wood planking and brick are probably the most common.

Multi-story buildings in cities are typically prefabricated concrete modules, sometimes clad in brick, sometimes just painted.
Austin is so spread out and is over 90 degrees for a lot of the year. Biking is just not an option for most things.

I'd say being able to bike somewhere is an edge case for most people.
Wow, I didn't know WAND had a github page. I'll get my fork merged with the main repo in that case.

The custom fork basically adds a extra button "Quick Load", since the srec file can be quite large to transfer through serial port to load, so I just implemented extra button to read srec file directly into memory.
People ordering delivery/eating out is good for the economy. While I personally rarely order food, I'm all for it.
Cant u just install it in VirtualBox and copy and boot to the created virtual disk? I was just thinking about this, because I needed Windows 10 on old laptop.
I think a lot of others here are going to have the question "what does it do with UB", which is partially answered in the doc:

https://compcert.org/man/manual005.html#language-reference

Overflow in arithmetic over signed integer types is defined as taking the mathematically-exact result and reducing it modulo 2^32 or 2^64 to the range of representable signed integers. Bitwise operators (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>) over signed integer types are interpreted following two’s-complement representation.

...so at least for that case, it behaves sanely, but it's unclear what happens for other types of UB.
The CompCert C verified compiler is a compiler for a large subset of the C programming language that generates code for the PowerPC, ARM, x86 and RISC-V processors.

I suspect that large subset is doing a lot of lifting.
I think the hint is in "after the second time I did this".
I would also wonder if to keep them on at that point.
There's really no reason to go to university if all you want is to write some Python scripts. University is not vocational training.
I was curious too so I checked YouTube for "gardening TikTok" and people have made compilations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es9BJpvvFQ0
Context matters, but often I like a search result over article. When someone knows vast majority of results go the stated direction vs here is an article that supports a view as often that is bias writing. A search result link to a degree shows greater neutrality vs particular press in the right context.

I’m not focused right now on how complex the solutions will be: I’m focused on whether they’re solvable technologically, or only politically.

People like to dodge problems by saying “high housing cost is a political problem, therefore engineers cannot improve the situation because they’re ill-equipped to solve problems that are political in nature”. That’s a rephrasing of what OP said and IMO it’s throwing the towel in too soon. This problem has political components and technological components. There are enough technological components that’s I think engineers can have a positive impact. No, I’m not saying that implementing those improvements is simple. Just that those technological improvements are possible.
"If you subscribe to cable/satellite television, you expect there to be advertising."

WTF, NO YOU DON'T. You SUBSCRIBE, meaning you PAY for it. That means NO ADS. Subscriber-supported and ad-supported are SEPARATE, unless you're a spineless twat who's willing to PAY to watch ADS.
Interesting abstract, is there any way to access this material without having to pay for it?
Introverts don't even necessarily have a lower desire to interact. Many introverts very much desire to interact and do frequently interact with others. They just do so in a different manner than extroverts. Usually more one on one and often for a shorter duration than extroverts.
Abstract away the core of the product (data, connectivity etc) behind an internal interpreter, which is the same on all platforms and connects to native UI.
I actually like YouTube shorts. It seems to capture my interests more than TikTok does. With TikTok, I find myself watching inane stuff that my unconscious mind is compelled to watch, but as soon as I snap out of this dream state and realize what I'm watching I see how stupid it is. YouTube shorts seems to be easy to consume videos that I actually find interesting.
So the issue with social media is that it allows mass dissent from the officially-promoted opinions on various subjects? I think social media is a mass contagion that will doom us to ineffectual and isolated failure, but for that first reason, it has been essential.

Or maybe, without social media to promote those very officially-approved opinions, we would have used our vast and deep social IRL network to discuss and reason, and would have come to that conclusion anyway.

I strongly believe that the various world governments' policies of lockdown, social isolation, and mask wearing would not have worked 50 years ago, because we were too connected.
In my opinion the best sequence looks something like this:

- Machine language (not assembler)
— Assembler for a couple of different architectures (i.e: Von Neumann vs. Harvard, CISC vs RISC, etc)
- Forth (written from scratch with one of the above)
- C
- LISP
- APL
- C++

I think of everything else beyond these mostly as C/C++ cousins or derivatives. With languages like Javascript and Python it’s far more about learning the libraries than a massively different programming paradigm.

Learning each of the languages is my list —in the suggested sequence— will provide someone with a deep understanding of different ways to solve problems with computers.
Uhm, but on my Thinkpad I have to add keys to load Linux in trusted mode (installer asks to choose a password to lock these keys in order to establish their legitimacy when rebooting.)

Also Ventoy needs to install user-defined keys into UEFI to make it work with Secure Boot.

So my assumption is that - at least on Thinkpads - you can add your own user-defined keys; the only Caudine Fork where a Microsoft blessed loader might be involved is the one used by the distro installer.

Or am I missing something
I wrote too quickly. I meant to say "plenty," as in the jerk-off neighbors who act like their lives haven't graduated past freshman year Spring Break. I suspect this to be true because they're single, aging their bodies rapidly, smoking, doing drugs, sharing diseases, every forced smile and idiotic snark is for Facebook and Gram, and letting their dogs pee in the hallway and not cleaning it up... from their door to the elevator 80 feet / 27m away.

Some years back, Google's then CEO Eric Schmidt openly stated that "The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it."[1]

It is also (as has been the case with numerous other tech firms) been to take other experiences, here maximal ad saturation, straight up to the pain tolerance, before (one presumes) dialing it down a bit.

(Facebook have similarly done this repeatedly with surveillance, stalking, and dark patterns, Microsoft formerly did this with licensing fee and process requirements, the latter limited by the tendency to drive users to either piracy or, vastly worse in Microsoft's view,[2] Linux or Free Software alternatives.)

The rationale is effectively the same as that captured by Jules Dupuit's 19th century observation on the miserable quality of third-class rail service:

It is not because of the several thousand francs which they would have to spend to cover the third class wagons or to upholster the benches. ... [I]t would happily sacrifice this [expense] for the sake of its popularity.

Its goal is to stop the traveler who can pay for the second class trip from going third class. It hurts the poor not because it wants them to personally suffer, but to scare the rich."[3]

My presumption is that Google are looking to pry those people who can afford a new (and presumably less-ad-saturated) device or (more likely) service off Android TV and onto their alternative offerings. I'm hoping this backfires via defections to other vendors, outright abandonment, and/or regulatory sanction. Though my expectations for all of these responses are low based on prior experience.

What happens if the loop body does not assign to the result variable? What if the condition is false before entering the loop?

I think it would have been cleaner to pass the value the loop should return to a break primitive and otherwise compute it in a dedicated block.

> I'm not really talking about American news media specifically. I don't read the NYT or the WSJ or watch Fox News.

Well, you keep moving the goalposts. I'm sticking with those goalposts, which are the leading news sources in the most important country by far in regard to Israel.

> This seems to be a fairly decent article on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/ ...

Seriously? Wikipedia? What basis is there for saying it's decent? But the NYT and WSJ aren't worth your time?

> "... it takes only 300 Israelis for each Google News item on Israel, clear proof that the country is being singled out for disproportionate coverage."

Singled out implies intent, which there's no evidence of. Are Americans highly interested in Israel and not interested in much of the world? That's not news, nor does it show any bias for or against Israel.
> expose themselves to some hands on machining... like, even just a few hours on an old decrepit mill/lathe.

Excuse me but as a pro in this field I have to raise an objection. There are aptitude tests just for the education because some people who are otherwise brilliant are absolute terrors, a dangers to themselves and others when presented with machine tools. Trial and error works very differently when you focus enough pressure into carbide to cut steel like it was butter. You should watch the horriffic videos of people being turned into bloody messes on machine tools and THEN decide if this is something you want to try. Nobody knows in advance if they belong in the danger-category but school instructors are quick to spot them and talk them out of the field.

If you are adamant on going at it on your own, stick to tools which don't output more than 1000W. In a panic you can produce that much power and you might only lose a finger instead of your life. ALWAYS pause and think about what you are going to do the very next moment and what you expect will happen.

I'm sorry if it sounds like gatekeeping. Those videos are very convincing that the gate is there for a reason.
Seems like a clear violation of the First Amendment to use the force of law to prohibit a person from speaking an opinion.

> the military always has that power, regardless of what people want to pretend

Maybe in your fantasies, but not in advanced democracies. Nobody would follow those orders; there's no evidence of it ever happening, in centuries. Technically, the people of Washington DC have the power to overthrow the government if they all rush the seats of power at the same time, but really they don't.
In most masonry homes the insulation is on the inside of the masonry, so you don't get the masonry as part of the thermal mass inside the insulation envelope.

Wood framed houses can have thermal mass to keep a stable temperature. This is more common with homes with exposed wood framing, and SIP on the outside.
Given that many want to work remote, the good things we hear about New Zealand, how difficult it is to get in, and that Billionaires are reserving space to prepare for Climate change related risks elsewhere, I was under the impression that people would want to get to NZ and stay put there. This is the sentiment among some of the people I talk to.

I've spent about 2.5 years teaching programming. Students really do seem to have some innate programming difficulty slider, which absolutely matters. Some of my students worked their absolute butts off to learn programming, and asked for help constantly (which I gave gladly). And they still barely scraped by.

Other students seem to learn programming extremely easily. I would show them something one day, and the next day they've already used what I showed them in their code.

I'm open to the hypothesis that its my fault that some of my students failed to learn programming. I certainly felt terrible for them when they worked really hard and still failed. But I don't think its all me. I certainly can't take equal credit for the students who did very well. My star students seemed like they barely needed me to teach them anything at all.

And for what its worth, the perspective that talent doesn't matter is an awful thing to teach struggling students if its wrong. Students hear that as "If I struggle at programming it must be my fault". I don't think it is. I think some people just have brains wired to make programming easier or harder to learn. There's no shame in encouraging some people to pick a different career. If programming really isn't right for someone, the sooner they swap to something else, the better.
No, it’s the market.
Relatively.

Absolutely, it's negligible - because the space consumption of header files is also negligible. It's such a bizarre design choice to split out a single 30 line .h file into a separate package.
On the contrary, I think most people will use it and those that don’t will likely do so out of religious reasons.

This is really great. Being born into the wrong set of genes seems like an incredibly silly thing to restrict humans to. Allowing humans to choose their appearance seems like it could resolve a bunch of psycho social issues and hopefully people can live more happy lives (although I am aware that these things often lead to as yet unknown problems of their own…)
It seems to you what?
On the contrary, there are many YouTube videos that could be explained in 15 seconds to a minute on TikTok but instead you have to sit through a full 10 minutes to get the really interesting parts.

If you want more depth, often times, people will post multiple parts on TikTok (something which has a poor UX but at least works) so you can dive deeper into a topic if you're interested.
I think JavaScript is a bit too advanced though and some mistakes are quite difficult to explain, such as the scopes and event functions, or the relatively invisible typing system. For example, Reddit is full of beginners making fun of JavaScript because concatenating a number and a string using the + operator produces a concatenated string and not a sum number.

However to reduce the complexity, it's possible to restrict students to a subset, using eslint and one or two plug-ins. I like eslint-plugin-unicorn to restrict my co-workers.
I think they're somewhat separate things.

I have an i7-3930k on some Asus MB and it has Secure Boot but no TPM. There's a header for it, but it's empty.

My understanding is that the SB keys are known and verified by the BIOS, not by the TPM.

The TPM is a mechanism to verify that the BIOS (among other things) hasn't changed from a known state. If it hasn't, the TPM will then release some key, for example to automatically decrypt the root partition at boot. I've also seen it used as a store for SSH keys.

This is how the default setup of BitLocker works. On my machine, I have to switch BitLocker to password mode, or type in the key at each boot.
> University is not vocational training.

I'll believe that when employers stop giving preference to people with university credentials.

Until they do that, the primary reason most people go to university for CS will continue to be 'for vocational training.' People follow incentives.
