We're seeing a reversion of GOP philosophy away from the influence of libertarianism (which is not traditionally conservative or even Republican) towards more traditional ways of managing markets.

> That's a surprising thing to hear from a supposedly free-market Conservative political party.

No it's not really. The GOP is not in favor of a perfectly free market and never has been. Other than libertarian extremists who may find their home in the party, you'll be hard-pressed to find a GOP politician that opposes things like public right of ways on private property.-

Also, I'll point out that liberals attempting to parse out GOP 'attitudes' are almost always wrong. I've been pointing out the flip in GOP attitudes away from free market absolutism for many years now. Popular commentators like Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh have as well. Suddenly, a liberal publication discovers it and tries to point out 'hypocrisy' on thinking that's been changing for the better half of the last decade. Keep up.
I do agree that instructors hold a fair amount of responsibility for using the tool right.

But the tool is shite. It misses some very basic stuff. Like "stuff in quotes followed by a footnote/citation" is copied, by definition, on purpose.

It also notes things like missing commas as if it's 100% authoritative. Even though the passage in question passed Grammarly, Word, etc. There's no notion of nuance or suggestion, just "right/wrong".
Well yes, you must (irreversibly) increase entropy somehow. The air itself won't be warmer though.

I'm not sure that would fly in the Western world.

Poland has a completely different culture from Western Europe or the US. It's rapidly Westernizing, but it's still a world of difference. I think it's a pity. I prefer Slavic cultures to Western. One of the things which bugs me most is how modern Poland is starting to have the same surface, insincere friendliness as the West.

- EU membership is clearly a net win, but doesn't help preserve Polish culture.

- Many of the cultural differences are not recognized on either side -- people say the same things sometimes, but it takes deep digging to understand that they mean very different things.

- Historically, Poles also looked up to and tried to emulate the West, which is part of the reason the culture is shifting so rapidly.

So the change was rapid, but far from complete.

Think of them as a way to add variety to your diet. If you're taking the standard "Pork/Beef/Chicken for dinner every day" diet and substituting Impossible Burgers, yeah, you're more likely to run into problems.

But if you have it, say, one meal a week, as your big exception to Mostly Plants, then you'll likely do pretty well. A purely vegan diet is tricky; not at all impossible, but you have to eat a wider variety of foods. Fortunately there are lots and lots of plants available, and lots of ways to cook them, but there will be days when it's just really easy to slap a burger in a pan.

Your grandmother still wouldn't recognize it as food, but it's more like food than a lot of the things people eat. There's enough vagueness in our understanding of nutrition that these make a decent addition to your diet despite violating the heuristic.

My first film camera was a Canonet QL17 GIII that I bought for $10 at a thrift store sometime towards the end of high school [1]. The shutter was stuck so I stayed up until way past 4am tearing it apart and fixing it, thanks to the available teardown guides online. I was able to put quite a few rolls through it before it stopped working again and I didn't have time as a college student to repair it.

Since then I've gotten more serious about film, picking up a Leica M2 and learning home development and building my own scanning rigs. The Leica Ms, at least the all-mechanical film-based ones [2], really deserve all the praise they receive. The serial number on mine dates back to the late 1950's, and it will, hopefully, with proper maintenance and regular usage, outlive me. I love my digital Fujifilm gear but am under no illusion that they will be usable in ~10 years time.

I once struck up a conversation with an older photographer using a film Leica. He said that he's optimistic about the future of film considering its resurging popularity among younger people, but is concerned that no one is picking up the repair trade, leaving maintenance in the hands of the mother companies who have already began discontinuing repairs for some of their models [3].

Here's to hoping mechanical repair receives the same renaissance as film photography and vinyl records.

[1] Dubbed "the poor man's Leica," now fetching ~$100 on eBay.

[2] From the screw mount models up until the M7, which gets hamstrung without a battery to operate the shutter.

[3] Admittedly, their digital models, but it would be best to avoid a monopoly in the hands of a company already known for their boutique pricing.

There is equivalent thing in academia to what you describe which is "paraphrasing" which is you read the source, grasp it and then rephrase it in your own words.

I've long since lost count of how many times I've been ridiculed as "paranoid" by the clueless over various absolutely basic and obvious security practices. If choosing to be wise and safe is "paranoid", then count me in. I'd rather be "paranoid" in the eyes of people who actively fight tooth and nail to stay ignorant about online/network security than fall victim to one of the many consequences of not choosing safety over convenience and ignorance.

Of course, I'm not claiming that Sci-Hub has no inherent value. But the same could be say for, say, the black market for hard drugs.

Bypassing of paywalls could be judged against many measures.

I was a TA in the first OMSCS cohort. I think the biggest difference between the OMSCS experience and what other people are giving here as anecdotes is Georgia Tech was prepared for this. They created an online program on purpose that was well thought-out and planned in advance. Many universities that did this in the past year, in contrast, were forced into it by the pandemic and scrambling to do whatever they could with no real plan, bad or no policies in place, professors and TAs that were not properly prepared.

Though I actually agree here with the people saying this type of software is usually a rootkit by design and unacceptable for that reason alone. I understand why the school did it, but in my experience, we never caught a person cheating on an exam. Where we caught cheating was in project submissions, and that was often quite blatant with people turning in identical code or code identical to code on the Internet, sometimes even identical comments. No need for malware on student's personal home networks to catch that.

There is somewhat of a fundamental conflict in the structure of the OMSCS courses, though. Personally, I don't think there is much value in even having the exams at all on top of the usually extremely comprehensive practical project assignments, for the terminal masters students. But that's everyone in OMSCS. The exams tend to test your knowledge of prior research, which is mostly valuable for people going on to a PhD afterward.

Of course, some students do that, even if you need to separately apply after completing the terminal masters and can't just move straight into it like the on-campus grad students. So I don't really know the answer, but the structure right now is imposing a heavily research-focused curriculum on students who are overwhelmingly not going into research. And the OMSCS program largely exists because of sponsorship from industry that wanted stronger industry-focused CS education for their own workers from a school more reputable than a plain MOOC with no university behind it.

They do an amazingly good job of best of both worlds right now, but it is a conflict as I think many of the exams are unnecessarily difficult for people who are never going to become researchers. I guess it's the classic Google approach to hiring, though. You end up filtering a bunch of students who may have been perfectly good as programmers, but you're probably never going to let anyone through who wasn't, and that is ultimately more important for maintaining the school's strong reputation in industry.

> It's the publishers stealing from the scientific community, universities and tax payers, and the politicians and bureaucrats are complicit.

Not really. The publishers provide hardly any value, definitely not commensurate with their prices. So why don't the scientists simply walk away? Why not publish on the internet, why not simply upload to arxiv.org?

It's because funding through quasi government agencies (NSF, NIH, etc.) is tied to your publication record, which is evaluated in "impact points", and those are actually tied not to your own publications, but to the journals they appear in. So your funding as a scientist depends on you publishing in these expensive journals.

It's actually the politicians and bureaucrats stealing from the tax payers, funneling the money to the publishers, all the while claiming they are funding science.

As a scientist, you have little leverage in this fouled up system, but it is your civic duty to use it: Please refuse to review papers for commercial journals without appropriate payment. You owe it to your fellow scientists to not subsidize predatory business models.
Really looking forward to seeing where this goes! A good, cross-platform abstraction for accessibility could make a big difference for a lot of people.

As with Spotify and Apple, the last thing the podcasting community needs is consolidation, walled gardens, and a subscription model taking the oxygen out of the open podcasting world. Although this may seem like a natural expansion for Netflix or tech companies, I hope users take a stand and just ignore it.

As an aside I am surprised Eaton is allowed to work at Netflix on podcasts, the very thing she worked on at Apple. I know California has laws reducing the power of non-compete clauses but this seems like a pretty directly related position.
One could even argue that the second shot - with its comparably small efficacy improvement for hospitalisation and death - should be given to other countries, and much more so a third shot.
The short answer is that you should keep the house relatively cool, but maybe above your comfort level while you're not there, and well insulated. The details of when it's best to run the AC for maximum efficiency pales in comparison.

The AC will be more efficient in the morning, for one, than during the heat of the day. And if you let the entire house get truly hot inside, it will take a lot longer than 30 minutes to bring the temperature down (it's not just air that has to get cool, it's all the solid objects as well). And when it's fairly hot outside, it may not actually be possible to get it cooled down if you wait until the heat of the day. E.g. my AC will keep my house at 70F when the temperature outside is over 110F, but if I let it drift up to 80F inside and then try to bring it down to 70F in the mid-afternoon, it won't get any lower than maybe 75F until the ambient temperature outside drops into the 90s.

> Does it need to be? Not anymore.

I disagree. The fact that most users don't explicitly care is irrelevant — platform conventions are important. They teach a user how to use a new app without having to poke around. Users can drag and drop from one app to another and it just works.

I certainly see the argument that for many companies, it's simply too expensive to write native apps for every platform. But I don't think we need to pretend that non-native apps aren't worse — they're just economical and generally, even at their best, just _okay_.
It wasn't really phrased that way, but that was really the core insight of the piece -- if you take a step back and look at the problem from the context of the code running the regex instead of within the regex itself, it's much simpler. Use all the tools at hand to get the job done.

It sounds like the root problem is that your exam grade is boosted more by a direct quote or case name more than by your comprehension of the message from the quote or by the case name rather than the precedent established by the case.

It should not matter if you have the exact line "To be or not to be" verbatim if you can explain what Shakespeare tried to convey about suffering and the meaning of life. More importantly, you should be allowed to have the book! You can't expect to jump from confusion to comprehension by reading the whole thing during the exam.

It shouldn't matter if you can regurgitate "Miranda v. Arizona, 1966" or not if you can explain when a person is giving voluntary statements or is under custodial interrogation. Access to the full PACER database wouldn't enable you to understand those distinctions.

And as comes up here all the time, it shouldn't matter in a whiteboard interview whether you have the arguments reversed in your strcmp(), an editor, compiler, or reference (or just running the code) would show you which way it was supposed to be. The important thing is the planning, algorithm tradeoffs, data structures, and debugging process that you used to write the thing. Heck, it shouldn't even matter if you can remember that the function is called 'strcmp'.

Reliance on these factoids usually indicates that the grader is taking the easy way out - scanning for expected quotes, for case names, or compiling the code and seeing if it works or not - rather than gauging comprehension. I'll grant that it is far easier to do the former, but that's not what the goal is supposed to be.

Edit: What can't be allowed is regurgitating someone else's comprehension of the question while having none of your own. If that's a possibility, you need to either ask different questions or have some way to prevent people from accessing that explanation. Remote exams need more of the former and less of the latter.
