The whole reason that regulators had to step in was that companies absolutely were pushing these kind of complex, high-risk non-cryptocurrency financial products to ordinary consumers that didn't understand how they worked as a way to make money fast, through ads in mainstream places like YouTube.
There's a difference between a vocational school, and a university program which teaches vocationally relevant skills. Many land-grant universities especially, were explicitly founded to teach practical, technical, economically relevant skills in the context of a broader liberal arts.

In that context, it's not surprising that many public universities do see post-college employment metrics (employment rate, median salaries) as an extremely important measuring stick of success. Many of these programs do make efforts to include vocationally-applicable education in the core curriculum, because it helps to keep those numbers up.
> PDO regulations absolutely focus precisely on ingredients, process and the final product.

Lots of food types that are not geographic indications have strict requirements on ingredients, process, finished product.

The geographic restriction for "feta" serves no purpose except to favor the producers who lobbied for the geographic indication. You could strip off the geographic restriction, and you'd have a normal food quality regulation.

> I also note that most "feta" cheese made outside Greece is actually made with cow's milk.

Feta cheese has been made throughout the Eastern Mediterranean for ages, primarily using sheep's and goat's milk. There's nothing particularly special or distinctive or uniform about Greek feta. The historical reason why the geographic indication is limited to Greece is that it was created by the Greek government (i.e., it was a protectionist measure passed by the government to benefit its own cheese-makers). Greece then lobbied the EU to adopt the geographic indication. That's why the PDO is limited to Greece - not because what the Greeks call "feta" is different from cheeses produced in the same way right across the border in Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria or Turkey.
The questions covering floating point are not really weird, or rather their weirdness is not specific to Javascript.

Many of these projects got started in the late 1990s or early 2000s, with the 1996 'Declaration' as a key rallying point.

The social-media dominated Internet of today is the polar opposite; it's very explicitly trying to make cyberspace as thin a layer as possible onto ordinary meatspace, because this is how large social media firms can maximize short-term "growth", "engagement" and advertising profits. This could even be acceptable on its own terms, but these large social media sites tend to be sources of spillover that affects even the formerly more independent Internet, and reduces its effectiveness quite a lot compared to what it could be.
Especially weird was that the quiz stuck at question 2 and kept resizing and shifting the position of the question text on selecting any answer until the quiz ended.

> My ADHD and Autism

I can understand if you feel bad about the article, then. Autism is a bit often discussed here at HN, is it?

At the same time, the article focuses on borderline (BPD), which is very different from autism or ADHD, is it?

I had a mental illness too (something else than BPD, autism and ADHD). Like you, I didn't write or say anything bad to others. Still, I appreciate the article, I think it's a small step for me towards understanding the Internet even better:

I know a borderline person, and I'm not the slightest surprised if in some cases, such a person can write extremely mean things to others on the internet. The person I know, does this in real life to people s/he loves, when too stressed up (about minor things others wouldn't think much about). It's not her fault; instead, s/he had a bad childhood.

(At the same time, there're also, of course, many other reasons for bad behavior on the net.)

There is (of course!) more than one way to pass multiple display streams through thunderbolt.

MST (multi-stream transport) is a DisplayPort thing, which Windows uses. So you have DisplayPort over thunderbolt, and (presumably?) the multiple displays are opaque to thunderbolt. I've used this with thunderbolt/usb3 hubs that understand MST.

On Macs, however, they use thunderbolt's own ability to have multiple devices. You need to look carefully for hubs that support this instead.

Or at least this is my very limited understanding, born of utter bafflement with our work docking stations.

I post this mostly in order infuriate somebody with actual knowledge. Please set me straight.

That is why in Portugal you want the full learning package, CS with enough programming projets, you go into a 5 year degree in an university, certified by the Engineering order.

You want some CS concepts, with emphasis on what is fashionable the work market, you got into a three year degree in a vocational degree.

This changed a bit with Bologna, but the overall process is mostly the same, just now the Enginnering order requires the master degree (which is the old 5 years degree).
> I'm not sure if this is justified (e.g. concurrency is inherently too hard to be viable), or due to the lack of tooling/conventions/education.

I think it's the tooling. Rust's modelling of concurrency using it's type system (the Send and Sync traits) make concurrency pretty straightforward for most use cases. You still have to be super-careful when creating the core abstractions using unsafe code, but once you have them they can easily be shared as libraries and it's a compile error to violate the invariants. And this means that most projects will never have to write the hard parts themselves and get concurrency for close to free.

I've had feta in Greece and feta elsewhere in the Balkans. The range of differences between feta cheeses produced in different parts of Greece is not necessarily smaller than the difference between a feta produced in Epirus (Northwest Greece) and Albania (possibly even by Greek Albanians!). The geographic indication is nonsensical if the point is to ensure uniform quality or taste.

It sounds like what you're most worried about is Northern European producers using cow's milk, but there are producers throughout the Eastern Mediterranean using sheep's and goat's milk.

I use JS since almost a decade and only got half of them right. Specifically I failed at the last one because I got impatient, the octal one got me too (never use those in JS), the true++ and the ones that require you to know that arrays are converted to strings when used in arithmetic.

I'll just externalize my embarrassment and say that JS is indeed weird! Another excuse is that I typically try to avoid implicit type conversion except for idiomatic "tricks" such as using !! to convert to a boolean.

Cool website though!
If you have an array of small structures, all you have to do is access all of them in one go with a for() loop and you're already taking advantage of the cache. This is enforced in ECS frameworks, btw: it's how a "System" is implemented.

However, if your code has random access, there's no point in using arrays of structures. The compiler would have to modify the order of execution of instructions inside your method to take advantage of how the data is laid out.

> I think that they may have developed a less hot variation, because I’m seeing a lot more habañero-based stuff in regular consumer space.

You can vary the heat by how much rib you keep in, without effecting other flavor elements notably (the heat is mostly in the rib, the rest of the flavor is mostly in the flesh), and, because flavor is often nonlinear and affected by what else is included, you can also often reduce how much of the main pepper you use to vary heat while retaining other flavors. Or, if you are trading on the name and not the actual flavor, you can just ise less of the named pepper and still trade on the name, which is fairly common.

Sri Racha wasn't his first hot sauce just the most successful.

Those who aren't into precious metals could still buy industrial metals to protect themselves from the loss of purchasing power in fiat money, but that's not enough - you can't get rich (or at least not quickly enough).

We therefore need to invest in completely valueless items - they can never bee too expensive - $33K is just as good a price as $64K!
So I think we should interpret "trash" here as "badly designed".

Ty for bringing it to attention. Indeed a cool feature to create emphasis and structure. Haven't bothered with it yet but will consider it. Another cool one is using console.groupCollapsed (as long as you are staying in a callback context).
What's interesting to me is that the discussion so far has emphasized: security and freedom. It's clear that consumers care very little about these two ideas in the ways that the technological elite (i.e. HN) do. If I don't understand a technology and don't have an interest in doing so, I certainly don't want to manage it. So the values that these "uncomfortable questions" raise are irrelevant.

The way the average consumer views "security" is: "Is this a trusted brand?". As of today Microsoft and Amazon are trusted brands. Western Digital not so much. So instead of trying to understand how Windows 11 running wrapped Amazon Store Android executables might be insecure, users see the words "Microsoft" and "Amazon" and feel secure. (as a side note, security is really just a feeling anyways...)

With regard to freedom, what's freeing to the common consumer is the freedom to have access to functionality they care about. They don't care that someone else is tracking them or that they are limited to apps on these stores.

So, really, these uncomfortable questions are only uncomfortable for people who aren't the target audience of this feature.

KF depravity, if practiced upon a puppy with mapped-over harassment as say, constant yelling or similar behavior, if documented, would net the perps with harsher consequences than the nada they will get.

Calling these things weird is fair enough but I can't help thinking this is code you'd never actually write outside of the context of a "Look how weird JS is!" post. It's like picking examples from the Annual Obfuscated C Contest to show how hard it is to understand C. Yes, some languages enable you to write weird garbage code that's hard to reason about, and ideally they wouldn't because enforcing sane code would be great, but come on. Most of these things aren't a big problem that we suffer every day. Just be moderately careful about casting things from one data type to another and all these problems go away.
There is a morbid satisfaction watching the formal financial system tie itself in knots as it tries to come to terms with an even worse version of itself.

That large part of the financial system is glorified and useless gambling designed to extract rents by intermediaries is a matter of record [0]. Regulators have no problem with that, provided their rather arbitrary and self-servingly generous red lines are respected.

So what is happening now is that new information technology (faulty and immature at best) is being used by cunning operators to tap into that ingrained behavioral pattern outside their purview.

Yet what spoils the fun is the sense that (somewhere in a parallel universe) all the new digital gadgetry could somehow be used to make our economies more robust, more functional, more equitable, more sustainable,... more real and less financialised.

> JavaScript is a great programming language

I have no idea how you could come up with this sentence after this brilliant display of what an insanely stupid language JavaScript is.
The vast majority of these are implicit type coercion issues. Which is fairly easily banned with a linter. Once you've done that, I think JavaScript is probably the nicest of the big dynamic scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby) to work with.

There could definitely be improvements, but trash seems to be taking things too far.

I, along with a great team, have spent over a year building an open source low code platform called Budibase.

Budibase is best described as an open-source alternative to Outsystems, Retool and Mendix. The benefits include:

- self-host with Docker/Digital Ocean

- internal db

- connections to MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB

- Accessible components

- The outputed tools are real, single page applications

- The apps are responsive by default

- An automation platform with connectors to Sendgrid, Zapier

- Google Auth

And it's open source!

NHS are building a patient management solution with it. Amazon are building a tool for their healthcare department, and many users build simple prototypes/internal tools on their own infrastructure.

Um, apparently the underlying problem is that someone claimed a clearly public domain melody in Google's copyright enforcement system. And the public domain status can be proven very easily since sites like IMSLP make early PD editions of classical music readily available to anyone.
