So what's the business case for having a data team independent of product, business and engineering?

Because as I see it the data team is a support function not q core part of the business. I'm sure it can be cool for you but if you are at odd with all the people actually creating value, what exactly do you bring to the table?

I was recently sponsored by my employer to do a professional certification which involved an online e-proctored exam. I was asked to install the e-proctoring software on my personal computer, because corporate security policy does not allow unvetted 3rd party software onto company devices. I told my employer that's my policy too, and that I would need to be supplied with a separate laptop if they wanted me to take the exam. They did.

I think if universities want to mandate use of e-proctoring software, they need to provide temporary/burner devices too.

>and she took offense because the wasp was a parasite species, and blocked sci-hub in Russia for several months in retaliation

Sounds like shes the wrong person in charge of sci-hub. Blocking access to ~free knowledge because one is offended is probably even worse...that's the mindset of dictators no?

And Russia is probably her only protection not being assange'd already.

vim.

This one bugs me, because it's a cool enough trick, and I want to expand my thought process when it comes to regex.

The closest I can get visually in vim:

/"tarzan"\zs\|tarzan

(The \zs flag starts the cursor and highlighting at a given location inside of a larger regex match. I didn't use a capture group here because it didn't help.)

Two problems:

1. This will still match the quoted word when pressing "n" but mostly unhighlights it. (see next point)

2. Whatever single character is after the unwanted match is highlighted, so this would only help for visually searching for reasonably long expressions.

-----

An alternative that I would use unless a special edge case was present (and this is basically the dumb version of the author's typical solutions):

/tarzan\ze[^"]

(\ze ends the match but continues to filter whatever follows)

In a persistent edge case, I'd probably resort to macros or temporary replacement of the unwanted term. But that's not very satisfying, is it?

-----

More details:

Capture group references evidently work in vim's search mode. I hadn't tried until now. I only see utility in a few cases e.g. finding any duplicate word. The specific case given at the link does not work as-is. I'd need a way of evaluating the author's full expression and then only match the capture group. Is there a way to put the capture group \1 outside of the alternation?

There's possibly a way to use back-referencing or global search and execution or branches. The solution is also probably very clever and concise! I've tried a few permutations and am still stumped.

-----

Last best attempt:

/"\@<!tarzan"\@<!

(\@<! will match if the previous atom---in this case, double quotes---is not present.)

An edge case where this falls apart? Single leading double quote e.g. "tarzan

Is there a better way?

Nobody knows if that fossil is a fungus. It looks like one, but to me looks much more like a tiny sponge. I could be wrong and could be perfectly a third different thing. Ctenophora are now the oldest animals I think, so there was a lot of old complexity yet from the start that we don't know well.

Not really, because the body self-regulates temperature by pushing out as much sweat as it needs to reach target temperature. A tool that facilitates evaporation allows the body to get by with less sweating. The amount evaporated will be the same, but the carrier won't be drenched. (PS: roughly the same, additional heat transfered from air to dry skin will need to be shed by sweating, but I doubt that this would make much difference compared to all the watts resulting from metabolistic base load, even in absence of physical activity)

Mandatory slightly related anecdote: on a summer drive through Morocco back when car air conditioners where a thing exclusive to America and the one percent I never felt sweaty as long as the car was moving.

> People have a lot of money right now and they want to buy financial assets with that money.

I am very far away from any kind of expert in this matter, but it seems to me people would be better off long term by investing their money into their own business. The lure of not doing anything and watching your pile in stocks grow is strong, but it can't really work long term for everyone. Eventually people need to produce something of value.
> The idea that you can just stop writing code with undefined behavior is absurd.

If this is true, then this should also apply to Rust or other proven languages: your program will still run in a dynamic environment, and probably calling into all kind of OS and third party libraries. Unless... you write your own (unsafe) wrappers around libraries, trying to catch, as much as possible, errors that can filter into the Rust (or whatever) code. But still, someone has to write these wrappers. If it's not you, you have to trust on somebody else's work, and this is a runtime check that will slow your program down.

Especially at universities I don't see the reason for invasive e-proctoring.

When I was studying (physics, early 2000s in Germany), we didn't even have a honor system, we had the assumption that everybody is there to learn something. If you cheat, you harm yourself.

Progress was assessed by weekly excercise sheets where you were encouraged to work together with others, and to learn how to use the library to find solutions. After each semester there would be a test for each course, and you would get a certificate if passed. Attendence to lectures was usually not checked. The tests were "closed" and watched, but if you were determined you could probably have easily cheated. Anyway regular cheaters would have failed miserably at the latest in the oral exams or the lab courses.

I think a major function of universities is to teach people to be independent and responsible, and if we school-ize them we loose a lot.

As someone who stuck with Windows begrudingly for game support (but was comfortable with Linux), Valve's Proton is basically black magic. I ended up running pop_OS!

Functional programming in Python sucks for a few reasons:

- Lack of pipe operator

- Multiple arguments everywhere instead of currying

- No do-notation or equivalent

- Reference equality rather than structural equality for objects etc.

If you want to program in this style, consider using F#, R or even JavaScript with a few Babel plugins.

Completely anecdotal and not in the US:

My experience as a TA are quite different, though this in in Europe. Especially with the algorithmic courses there was quite a lot of copying since there were multiple TA's and they thought we didn't compare notes. Several of them got reported (you get a mark, two marks is suspension, three is out) and I know of at least one case who got caught again at a different course and was suspended.

For a programming course for first year engineering students we didn't care they copied each others code but just asked students to explain specific parts of the programs they handed in. Those who copied failed mostly instantly and got one retry, and most at least tried to understand what it was about after that. Though copy/pasting and not even changing the student's ID numbers was an instant fail.

That's a straw man argument and you know it.

Code snippets are in no way shape or form comparable to entire software products and CoPilot neither installs anything nor is its intention to knowingly violate licences or copyright law.

Disingenuous straw manning like this doesn't help the discussion and only serves to distract from actual issues.
You can improve on this by quite a bit by not writing literal bits to the file, but instead feeding them through an arithmetic or range coder, with some reasonable statistical model. The statistical model can be very simple, even just an exponential moving average per digit will help.

I'm running two instances, one on Synology+Docker, other on Odroid (N2+, config like the HA-edition, minus the nice case).

I don't really see any performance issue with Synology (Avoton with 16 GB RAM), just the `docker-compose up` takes a few seconds. Response time-wise, it is fine. Plus, I'm using the Synology reverse proxy, so that one takes care of a few things too.

Of course, Core-i5/i7 will beat Atom-based NAS; but HA doesn't really need that.

> "If this trend continues...

That's my point. It won't continue. Nothing grows to infinity. CO2 levels are rising due to an increase in emissions year-over-year. This increase is guaranteed to stop on its own. We don't know what happens if emissions stabilize at current levels. Perhaps CO2 concentration will continue to rise for a while, perhaps it will stabilize rather quickly. Absent any other factors, the long term trend is always for CO2 levels to (slowly) sink.

If I naively extend the following correlation, just going from 420 to 520 would require adding another 30 Gt of CO2 of annual emissions (almost doubling current levels):

https://www.climate.gov/sites/default/files/CO2_emissions_vs...

That amount represents the economic jump from the 1950s to now. Not inconceivable, but also not foregone.

> ...atmospheric CO2 would approach 900 ppm—just below levels during the Paleocene thermal extinction 54 million years ago"

Name-dropping an extinction event in this context is rather unwarranted, considering that those 900ppm were preceded by a slow descent from 1500ppm.
I've flagged the post because I found the headline misleading. The headline is, "Trust in Software At an All Time Low", which implies that it's some kind of survey of software users or something. Instead, the post is just about how the author's own trust in software is at an all time low. Headline should read, "My Trust In Software Is At An All Time Low", or maybe "I Trust Software Less Than Ever".

Miscompilations due to UB are normally silent and can remove checks written into the code for security purposes; e.g. checks for overflowing signed integers, or for null pointers.

They're not harder to debug. Debugging them isn't the issue. The problem is knowing that the code in the editor doesn't correspond to the code under execution.
The real story here is that cheating is rampant, everyone knows it, and that the universities (as opposed to individual professors) are not prepared to do what is necessary to stop it.

I'm speaking, of course, of measures like expulsion. Too much of a hit to the bottom line, too much messy litigation, and too much bad PR.

All of this is another way of making your point, which is that the core mission of universities has drifted away from idealized learning to big business and sports.

My calculus 3 professor would pass out tests 10-15 minutes early on test days. He'd dump them right on top of your study materials and expect you to push them out of the way if wanted extra time to study.

Applying a panopticon to children to prevent cheating is questionable since it normalizes authorities using electronics to bully people. Applying it to adults at a university is arguably a human rights violation and a failure to write good course materials.
I would add as an aside that the invigilated exam halls you likely remember from your British education don’t really exist in most US universities. Final exams are generally administered by the lecturers themselves rather than independent invigilators, and there’s (generally) less emphasis on having a standardised process from one course to another.
