I disagree. I live in the western U.S. and climate change is already a real and present part of life here. Wildfires are a more prevalent threat due to many factors, and climate change is a leading driver. Consistent drought is challenging water rights and allocation - most notably with with Colorado River Compact. More common heat waves threaten agriculture stability in the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Great Plains. These are all things that are happening now, and are projected to get worse.

On a more country wide scale, we can expect foreign migration to the U.S. to increase. Sure, some folks can migrate inwards from the coastal U.S., but what will people in coastal El Salvador or Guatemala do?

I did that when I was CIO at a non-tech firm; all IT costs for hardware, software and services (including ISP lines) were apportioned to the various floors and depts by seat basis.

10 years later, my ex-CFO still thanks me for what I did, and wish I was still with the company.

> massively expanded their costs

While I attended college, tuition costs almost doubled, but since haven't increased much per year. It wasn't massive increased spending, it was the state cutting off basically all finding. There's certainly fat to be cut, but the admin costs are mostly imposed on high.
I would agree strongly with the comment to which you are replying (the parent? This is my first time commenting :). The primary benefits of an MBA are not the knowledge learned and said knowledge is shallow enough that it is feasible to gain it without the degree.
I like Ghidra more than IDA. Having "proper" type support is nice - IDA's struct and type annotation support always felt very hacked together and hard to use. Ghidra's typing and decompiler is good enough that I don't even have to look at the disassembly listing for most functions, and struct autogenerating is wonderful.

Unfortunately, Ghidra handles vtables and OOP very poorly still. You have to do a lot of by-hand annotations for virtual calls, even with 3rd party analysis scripts, while IDA's C++ usually Just Works. This is the main pain point, imo. The other main thing is that IDA has been used by the reverse engineering community for so long that there's a massive body of tutorials and StackOverflow answers for it, and a much larger corpus of 3rd party plugins. It's not a big deal for me, personally, but if you already have a good workflow for IDA it's probably not worth it to switch. For beginners I'd recommend Ghidra instead, though, because a free and open source tool with good official documentation and UX is worth its weight in gold (although I've heard BinaryNinja is extremely good nowadays).

I don't know what answer you are expecting, but realistically(?) speaking, the world will absolutely lose their mind if America installs its favorite leader on the UK. That kind of shit is what superpowers do onto countries like Iran or Afghanistan, not in Western Europe.
As a commenter touched on above, these languages are purely for "golfing". Programming golf is when you challenge yourself to solve a problem in the fewest characters possible. Golfing languages therefore, are languages where the aim is to jam as much common functionality into single characters as possible. There is no real practical use for them.

I thought it is often important to exercise stronger when you have been out of shape for a while. Then once you have core goals met, you can find your stride and sustain.
Right. I'm sympathetic with the general thrust of the arguments here (and agree the incentives are misaligned), but intellectual curiosity isn't a good beast-of-burden.

I work as a programmer, but have an MFA in creative writing (poetry).

The messy human story is that I started undergrad in CS and was quickly worn down by pulling all-nighters on projects I wasn't invested in while trying to hold down a part-time night job. I realized it was over at the beginning of my second semester, in the first session of my required technical writing course.

Writing was one of very few sources of joy for me, and I knew I couldn't throw it under the steamroller, too. I'll leave a lot out--it took me a while after this to even realize I could major in writing--but I eventually came back to programming through creative projects and literary analysis in grad school.

I realize _studying art for several years to find yourself_ is a bourgeois luxury few get, but I was just a bright lower-middle-class kid from nowhere who'd never been intellectually engaged. Being engaged helps you build muscles you won't build warming a seat, but then you can use them for whatever you set your mind to.
Peoples priorities change over time. And young people don't really understand how much the low status and grueling grind they are getting into sucks.

And then you are 28, already in debt, having wasted a decade without a decent career to fall back on.

Also, people tend to expect positive outcomes for themselves. "It is going to be hard..." yeah, sure gramps. But I'm different.
Nice try, HR.
I would guess it also depends on concentration. If you're at the gym exercising a specific muscle group, you could over-exert that muscle easier than generic overtraining while playing a sport.
>> Student loans would evaporate.

Good. When I got my degree, almost nobody had student loans. The kids from lower middle income and below tried for scholarships, Pell grants, and even had jobs that slowed them down due to fewer hours available for school. Tuition was a tiny fraction of what it is today. Oh, and a couple years taking transferable courses at community college was a thing too.

If you want to help the poor, then do that but dont corrupt the system the way it has been the last 25 years. Now everyone is screwed.

Limit loans to median first-year earnings of a graduate of the program. Better universities can charge more, no one can go too far into debt.

What's this? The French are behaving in an entitled fashion? I can hardly believe it.
> I saw some sensible commentary that basically.. these types of degree programs have always existed for the bored children of the rich. It just seems some didn't get the memo and took on huge debts to join them. This could be said of a lot of elite, expensive, liberal art degree programs..

And the world would be no worse off if only rich children with trust funds got degrees in film, Russian literature, or art history. And if the Government stopped propping up college loan programs, tuitions for practical degrees would drop like a rock.
Because you know everything that made the headlines up to 2017?

There might or might not be discussion potential on any submission, so I understand arguing about their value, but that "news if you're a beginner" was very condescending. Why not be happy about today's lucky 10,000?
I find that statement pretty goofy. I went to an excellent public school - better than many private schools. The overall expansion of public schools since the 19th century has massively benefitted the American economy. Look at the relative lifetime earnings of high school graduates vs high school dropouts. It’s taxpayer money we’ll spent.
Ah that might be why I haven't seen it (I'm in .au so it might simply not be rolled out in my region). Thanks.
> Therefore, most experts agree that caretakers should provide infants and very young children with dietary or supplemental sources of DHA

This is not true. World Health Organization and UNICEF have no opinion.

It's easy to find sources post dating hers that say it's unknown -

"Supplementation of healthy infants with DHA or fish oil does not improve child development" - https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/448271

No. Some universes use tau :^)
It’s not so much corruption, it’s that every app uses it a little bit differently and half of them aren’t good at cleaning it up on uninstall. You can still get the system into a bad state where a rebuild (especially if you don’t have a lot of dependencies) is easier than trying to untangle whatever app or script or driver borked something.

Yes! I would not want to see these loans forgiven if they didn't also stop them at the same time.

Not quite.

Observing an object with high relative velocity distorts the observed shape, but all observers can agree what the shape would be at zero relative velocity. For similar reasons astronomers say distant objects are redshifted rather than assuming they are the colors directly observed.

We already have all the pieces needed, they just need to be connected in a better way.

Forests need to be managed to optimize for sequestration; log the right parts at the right time, replant. Also need to invest more in controlling forest fires (hell, use the military if that's the only way to get the budget).

At the other end we need to reduce burning wood for fuel through other renewables and put more lumber into building.
In some alternate universes they use τ instead and I would rather live in those universes.

Harvard reducing tuition because underprivileged kids aren't able to attend and can't get loans.

Harvard in particular is so wealthy it always charges tuition based on ability to pay. The poor who go to Harvard pay nothing. But, of course, the poor seldom go to Harvard because they aren't admitted.

Just saying. There are mid-range school where, all else being equal, your scenario might be true. But those school depend on those same lower income students and, well, I'd be in favor of them buckling and charging less.
Most of the valuable agricultural land that Castro nationalized was owned by US businesses.

I'd love to spend a year on such life. More manual labour (but not harmful nor too risky), and see how your body and mind evolve.
> At some point we realise that we aren't paid to be psychologists, we are paid to solve problems in the order of most important first.

As a senior programmer I'm paid to do both. Sometimes to answer a question you have to guide the other person through the entire process of clearing up their problem until they get the "a-ha!" moment.

So depending on your seniority and responsibilities, you might have to teach people how to acquire problem-solving skills.

I don't think this works in GR the way you think it works (regardless of what 'physical circle' means), aren't you always able to change coordinates for the space to be locally flat?

(This always confuses me, can someone that knows GR shed some light on this? I would greatly appreciate it. I've been trying to teach myself GR a while back from the lectures of Frederic Schuller and Alex Flournoy that are available on youtube but it's hard without being able to ask questions)
That doesn't sound like starting salaries. Who starts as an advertising and promotion manager?

The average starting salary for a film and media studies is $22,656 per year. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27828557

Now, given 2087 working hours in a year, and $15/hr, that yields an annual pay of $31,305. 50% MORE than a FAM studies college graduate.

All with a few seconds of effort, with a device in everyone's pocket.

Good thing there is a whole market of ranging degrees of education quality and price distributed a cross the US...

Also there are lots and lots of programs state and private to fund low income higher Ed. It is not a dichotomy.

Then private loan terms would change to a max of 10 years, thereby increasing the monthly costs due to accelerated payback.
Not sure I understand this sentiment.

I went to a good university, majored in history, took out 100k in debt totally for said degree, and have been working as a programmer ever since.

Why does my outcome feel so rare? I think 100k was a fair enough price. (25k per year including food and a room).
Apple uses Lightning and/or MagSafe on all of their handheld devices and USB-C on everything else.

Beats have some exceptions for microUSB instead of Lightning.

The iPad is handheld and Lightning. The iPad Pro is not and is USB-C. Yes, you can handhold an iPad Pro, but it’s not designed/targeted for that use case, as the USB-C port indicates.

This battery pack is Lightning because it’s a handheld device and it’s an accessory exclusively for handheld devices. While that may be a disappointment, at least the evidence to date is clear that there’s no point holding out for otherwise: they have never released a handheld USB-C device and are unlikely to here either.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this comes up every time Apple releases a Lightning accessory and people continue not to realize this strategy is in play. I don’t know if it’s a good strategy or not, but duly noted all the same.

(ps. Apple Watch is not a handheld device, and so of course it’s doesn’t have a Lightning port :)
You can retool the GUI I wrote. The application is large but the GUI part is a single small file. It’s really just a single function with other supporting functions for events and a data model.

Pi only exists in the context of euclidean space. We have never seen a real euclidean metric space in THIS universe. Pi literally isn't a universal constant. Unlike physical constants (All the force constants, speed of light ect) apparent values of Pi will vary wildly if you can even find situations where it makes sense to apply it.

Concrete example: Assume you somehow magically can have a planet in a circular orbit around a star, surely you can use Pi to derive the circumference from the distance to the center of the star? Nope, the space in the system is distorted, Pi varies with radius and the mass of the star.

I found the dividend situation confusing too. On Google finance the dividend yield is 4%. Afaik, only 10% of the stock is not being held by the saudi government. Assuming 2T market cap, the dividend obligation is 8B$ to shareholders. But the article indicates an order of magnitude higher dividend obligation. Are there dividend obligations above and beyond what's visible in Google finance?

it's absurdly reliable, it can scale super well because erlang is great (as long as you just give it enough hardware).

I did nothing.

Mom's email was broken (@verizon via aol). The web mail is working. So what, the imap/smtp server is down. Tell her the server is broken. If she has immediate need just use webmail for now. It'll probably work later.

Come back the next day and she's blown 2 hours waiting on phone tech support. They've got her generating temporary passwords or some shit that their documentation has no mention of (This is standard imap/smtp config with SSL and a slightly modified username). She's frustrated and deletes the whole account in her email client.

I don't recommend the Ergodox EZ just as you note the thumb cluster is pretty terrible in actuality.

Is my recommended 'out of the box' keyboard.

As you also rightly point out, there's a learning curve with a move to these kinds of keyboards but since you're on an ergodox, the gap should be significantly smaller.

My daily driver is a Diverge 3 (company no longer operating), but the best one so far. Close in, thumb clusters with few, easily accessible keys. The thumb can really only access 3-4 keys easily.

The real one I want to go after is the Dactyl Manuform... but omg there's no nice way to get at that thing. And the cost is so high just to 'try it out'.

All luggage is supposed to undergo a security check in an X-ray machine. This is true for private jets as well. I am curious how it played out in this particular case. Did it go through an X-ray machine or not? If yes, how did they mistook a human for a musical instrument?
Imagine what might happen if the US government made all college education free.

I am all for the government potentially paying for degrees, but I do see how it would be helpful for taxpayer dollars to pay for hundreds of kids to get a Columbia MFA.
I don't know if you're still checking this comment chain, but I don't think from my other comments that I mentioned bringing a central authority into the equation. I realize that the concept of a central moral authority "protecting" the populace has gone poorly in the past, but that is not what I am advocating for. I am advocating for a heavily armed, heavily informed populace that knows where everything it uses comes from and is capable of building each component part of its society.

You and I are the authority; we can do the educating and the protection. People are being taken advantage of every day by various agents that wish to exploit them for various purposes. Those need clear, consistent messaging from people they respect that explains and illuminates the many pitfalls of modern society and offers a path through which to learn society-building skills and self-reliance. Leaving them to their own devices does not create a healthy, unified community; it merely leaves them ripe for the harvest by the banks, the insurance companies, advertisers, fast food corporations, car companies, etc.

It is uninteresting to me to be compared to the communists and the Nazis. It will turn out better for us all if you allow yourself to think more creatively than that. Contemporary society does not need to choose between absolute individualistic chaos or absolute control, although the fact that society is populated by many people who think exactly as you do makes that duality seem like the only outcome possible.
