in india at least there is a saying "you are doing this on your own responsibility". and this relates to an employee going for a job or doing something weird or students applying for college. what this means is, twitter is supposed to be responsible for their inability to cooperate with the crony government and any action they would be taking.
Chicago gun control laws were ruled unconstitutional, so there is no longer strict gun control there: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2017/oct/03/sarah-huck...
In UK they do stabbing instead of shooting because firearms are not available.

The goal is to prevent deaths, not to prevent shooting, so shooting comparison between UK and US is meaningless.

No, engineering and economics.
Yet other cities have tons of guns, no gun control, and don’t have the same levels of crime. It’s almost like the issue is social and economic in nature...
In the (UK) developer job ads there is usually something along the lines of "a degree in computer science or relevant experience". Based on my experience I am guessing that this only matters for the purposes of getting through the recruiter / HR gatekeeper filter - once your actual tech chops are being considered no one cares, in fact not having a CS degree may well be to your advantage (CS does not teach you how to become a good software engineer, nor does it teach you the soft skills).

That said, without the CS education (formal or otherwise) some fields of work will be inaccessible but I think these are in the minority.
Caffeine is the #2 addictive substance on earth...after refined sugar.
It does, except it removes a giant advantage of magic wormhole: True end to end encryption requiring only TOFU. The web version downloads JavaScript every time and unless a specific version is somehow pinned by default, you are in principle vulnerable to MitM attacks.

I think the problem with these "I don't like x" posts online is that they attract miserable, jealous and bitter people and go downhill fast.

Very different to a comment between two people in a pub environment, where the most likely outcome is some jokes about the riders' (lack of) balls or a jovial discussion about whether or not wearing lycra makes you a wanker.

Ideology fits pretty well, as the term is used in modern times.

In case of Linux, GPL is regarded as a good fit.

In case of games, it'd be surprising now, to see GPL as a good fit. Open source and GPL are not used predominantly, thus never disrupted much in that space. However, this is based on a kind of hindsight bias as well.

In many ways, Free Software is regarded a means by itself: To keep software Free. So the goals of the ideology might not ressonate with the goals of every game developer.
agree, freecad and many slicers stick out in my mind too
Oh awesome. Cloudflare Workers dev environment leaves something to be desired. Does this run in the same JS engine Cloudflare uses (V8 Chrome)? The particular subset of web standards that Cloudflare supports can be tricky to work around.

Is there any support for emulating the CPU runtime limitations that Cloudflare imposes (10ms or 50ms for paid plans)?

People will find other ways around it, maybe they'll just grep your error output and return a zero return code if it's in there instead.

You need disable comments, but they need to be very fine grained by default.

I'm thinking of several very relevant cases for disable comments. Like your first example of the camelCase issue is very real to me.

We are served JavaScript from a third party that we have little to no control over, I want to type that JS with Typescript. So I created some .d.ts files. But they use snake_case for their function names.

When I then type those functions, I get complains from my linter that it's not camel case.
This is where I need my escape hatch.

Sure, but it’s an optimization problem up against simply building more solar. That’s the part of the equation most armchair experts are ignoring. Excess solar production is basically guaranteed due to how cheap it is. It’s likely that some long term storage is optional, but at scale it’s likely to be relatively small percentage.

I was hoping for this reply. The presentation of the facts were intentional.

It's not both. The root cause of most of these killings is honor culture, which existed in plenty of societies before guns and led to just as many killings.
It's nice of you to say that from San Francisco Bay, but there isn't a social program for every problem.

I'm on a 3 month paternity leave right now. I had a rough idea of what projects I wanted to complete but so far, it's been full throttle with my two kids (one being an infant)

It has been nice so far, though.
Scientific research is patented and exclusively copyrighted under publisher. If all scientific research were public and accessible we would not have sci-hub, and they would not currently be in court. We would also not live in a world where scientist has to work around patents and in some cases chose alternative research areas just because they can't afford (or use the result) because of patents. In addition there is a huge controversy in many Universities that patent from research is owned by the university, and if the researcher want to use technology that they themselves discover they need to pay the university.

Removing patents and copyright from public funded universities is an on-going struggle that has yet to be fixed. We have yet to start to make all scientific research free from patents and copyright.

We should strive towards the utopia where all that was expected is that people will cite the source, and then everyone could build off the work of everyone else.

Social media is full of videos and images (instead of text) because that's what our dopamine receptors want. The reality is, if Facebook started showing less videos, more people would move to TikTok.

I think, as a society, we should actively "slow things down" and be more mindful and thoughtful of our emotions, actions, policies, and impact on a daily basis; but the audiovisualness of social media is 100% a symptom, and not a cause.
Well at least they're enjoying what they're doing. I'm not sure what your point was.

Edit: wow, you've made some pretty bold edits.
A lot of comments are dismissing this because it doesn't provide a credential upon completion. But you don't get mad at a hammer for not putting staples in paper, nor get mad at a stapler for not putting nails in wood. This is a tool that gives empowers you to educate yourself, not a tool that gives you a credential.

As someone with a deep love of learning and knowledge, I am delighted that this exists.
The deep understanding comes after knowing the facts.

At a low level, you can point out all the patterns that are in multiplication tables, but they won’t be remembered until the student has internalized the facts.

At a higher level, teaching epsilon-delta proofs isn’t a good way to learn calculus. Memorizing the building blocks and the chain rule is.
Thanks - yes, a typo.
Maybe because AAVE is just bad English and is intrinsically understood by people that going to a place and learning localisms is not the same as impersonating another individual. Furthermore, in the current social spectrum it would take no time for someone even trying to be accused of cultural appropriation... no thanks.

Yes. It feels pretty right that you can't claim you're not editorializing if you decide to censure the leader of the country because of arbitrary reasons, like claiming coronavirus came from a lab is a conspiracy theory.

What happens in India is actually the opposite, it's the government requiring the censuring.

I'm always on the side of free speech. It shouldn't be up to Twitter to decide if coronavirus came from the lab, or if "mail in ballot fraud is very rare, as few as 0.001%" (a completely bonkers notion that was also later debunked, but served to prevent any discussion before the election despite it's absurdity).
It’s pretty evident it has little to do with the actions of public officials, considering the rise in gun violence is nationwide.

Also, some have tried to pin the rise in violent crime (overall crime is down) to cuts in budgets, but this doesn’t make sense considering that for all
The talk the NYPD’s budget wasn’t only not cut, but in fact increased over this period of time.

The rise in violent crime across the country, which is still a rise only relative to the historic lows it had reached in the years before the pandemic, likely has a lot more to do with the overall damage to the societal mental health and damages to communities due to the loss and grief experienced by so many over the past year or so. Also, the massive increase in guns over the past couple of years in itself would have led to a predictable rise in gun violence.

I agree, history is not important, but using phone/mail/chat always implies some kind of "requiement of attention" and given the many groups I need to update I wanted to give them more time instead of reducing it.

Right now scheduling calls diminishes time on the people you involve, so if it's a simple update why not give them the choice?

It might be a result of our former structure that leads to this issue I am experiencing (or it might be an issue I only have :) )

Windows 11 doesn’t really have a mobile focus. It’s for desktop and tablets. Microsoft is pushing quite hard their 2-in-1 design with their surface series, and Windows 11 is really a great improvement for that kind of device.

AFAICT the recursion doesn't mean the function can segfault due to a null pointer. It does however mean that it will cause a stack overflow if the list is sufficiently large, which makes it a bad implementation. It can also segfault if malloc returns zero as discussed above.

Apart from these serious runtime behaviour flaws the code is also violently unreadable, which you strangely use as a way of attacking C programmers generally, as if this code is representative of human-coded C. This implementation would fail code review for numerous reasons anywhere I've ever worked.

The article itself looks detailed and very interesting and I'll have a proper read of it if I get the time. You didn't need to make it so aggressive and clickbaity.
Addressing your laughable claim that crime will go away if you throw money at social programs.

Like I said, some people do it for fun. Some do it to follow their idols. Sure you can stop some of it, but arresting and incarcerating people _is_ an effective solution.
Wow. I wonder if the high rates of lead poisoning in Chicago have anything to do with that stat.

Based on those figures, more than 10 percent of young children tested in the city had troublesome lead levels that year — about four times the national average.

Suck dick.
Xoogler in a throwaway account.

If you look at the linked "my move away from California" post, you'll see that he moved to the Portland, Oregon area during the pandemic.

* EDIT *

He says that he was working out of the Portland office, but the majority of open engineering roles there (not many in total) are very specialized.

My guess is that post-pandemic, now that Google offices will be re-opening, they don't want people spread all over the place, and he wasn't willing to move back to California. While his managers were most likely supportive of him working fully remote, Google isn't very flexible when it comes to fully remote work.
I think the reason fo this emphasis is that there are already plenty of resources for self-learning CS. Indeed a lot of the mainstream universities make their course materials available. The bit that is not typically available is the credential, so if we truly want to disrupt the edcuation model then that's the bit that needs to be solved.
> Fortunately K8s is _not_ a Google owned project. Yes, there are a lot of Google people involved, but it really is a community project.

It was created by Google and then "donated" to CNCF.

Conveniently, CNCF doesn't even list its members: https://www.cncf.io/about/members/

According to Wikipedia, though, "Founding members include Google, CoreOS, Mesosphere, Red Hat, Twitter, Huawei, Intel, Cisco, IBM, Docker, Univa, and VMware." [1]

Ah yes. I just love that free community spirit. Top 10-15 contributors are all paid money to work on this by Google, RedHat, Microsoft, VMWare, Goldman Sachs (and I couldn't bother to check others).

That is, 18 billion net income last quarter, 15 billion net income last quarter, 141 million net income last quarter, 6 billion last quarter...

These ginormous corps solve their own problems under the guise of open source, and gullible developers fall for the community promise.

Being a scientist myself, I did that. But it could simply not understand how - in early 2020! - "the scientist" could be so sure and demonized the lab leak theory so fervently.

And now in mid-2021, one of the few things that we know for sure is that some of the key scientists in the "It must be natural" camp have ties with the WIV and thus a strong conflict of interest that they did not disclose.

And then of course, there is the fact that China is blocking all research. Is that only China being China?
I'm really surprised that this would still be an issue in any Western countries with a Sikh population of any significance. This is hardly a new topic, as this UK news report from almost half a century ago about the 1973 "Wearing of helmets" regulation shows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqVe_Gzqgi8

It took less than 3 years for an exemption to be put in place, and it came during a period of history that wasn't exactly friendly to immigrants and their descendants.

I'd be happier if we sometimes, once in a while, called nazis by their full name: National Socialists.

Fun fact: Hitler wasn't a right wing guy in any way.

He's not known for suggesting Germany introduce a second amendment like law: he was a gun grabber.

He's not known for his contributions to (actually) liberal politics or for deepening the theory of the invisible hand or anything.

He started as a mad socialist and ended as a mad politician in the center. His "legacy" except millions upon millions of dead (only toppled by fellow madman Stalin?) was gigantic public infrastructure projects, centrally planned, created with the help of private enterprises.

Framing nazism as "right wing" is the most brilliant thing the left ever did.

Now I am not a Republican either, they have their own issues.

But don't use right-wing as a slur that means nazi.

And don't call people nazis because you don't like them: nazism exist today and people who call Republicans nazis do us who oppose actual nazism a great disservice I think.
Some people still think homosexuality is a 'sickness' that can be 'cured'. Depression can be cured by smiling and being happy... etc etc...

I loved math drills. In first grade we would get a sheet of simple math problems and the teacher would give us 5 minted to complete as many as possible. I was good at it, and it was one of my first experiences of competition and being better at something than my peers. I don’t know if any of that is a good thing, and it definitely would have sucked if I had been slow at math.
The hard truth is that there isn't much "science" in most computer "science" jobs. The world needs brick layers too. Nothing wrong with that as such, but confusing computer scientists with programming workers is one of the root causes for the software mess these days.

I guess this changed long before Audacity. Today many programs, including open source tools, bundle some sort of telemetry.
