I've tried that before, many times, and found it similarly futile. They just start negotiating what the "scope" means until they've negotiated it back up to what they were originally asking for... because that's what (they think) they actually needed in the first place. Scope is just too vague to be used this precisely.

I've been following the work at Signum University, which has also built up an online liberal arts college:

https://signumuniversity.org/

I think highly of their program. It's a very interactive program, focusing on literature and the humanities. It's more than just lectures and tests. It's much more about online discussion and written essays, and aims for the ideal of a college teaching you "how to learn to think".

I much prefer it to the more common MOOC idea, which treats college as if it were a vocational school.

Signum just earned the ability to grant Masters of Arts degrees. Long term they want an undergraduate program. It's far, far cheaper than any brick-and-mortar school, and the students learn things that I find incredibly important.

I bring it up because their experience follows a similar path to yours. You might talk to them for advice. It's not a big corporation; it's literally the brainchild of one English professor who wants to change education. I expect they'd be very helpful to share what they've learned.
Huh? I come from a religious upbringing and this just seems like an outlandish argument. Maybe some religious people would say that, but I hardly believe that would be the primary reason public/private ID system in the US would fail to gain traction.
It is refreshing once again to see an Elm post that looks at the pros and cons of the language and ecosystem, instead of solely focusing on a perceived problem with the way that the community is run.

The freaking FBI leaked your info. Not a stupid private organization. The FBI. And also, because the FBI doesn't tell people they are watching them, there was absolutely nothing - no product, no service - you could have just not signed up for to avoid this leak.

Much worse: forced marriages.
That factional territorialism can function if the features being selected on can be self-propogating within a community across generations (e.g. language, religion, culture and political philosophies) and concentrated into a specific area. For all of the upsides of the LGBT community, their defining features appear to limit fecundity, are not reliably propagated across generations, and tend to continue to crop up in society at large regardless of their concentration in a community.

It sounds like a manifestation of the pareto principle. I would in no way be surprised to see scientific advancement follow a power law distribution among contributors where the top 5-10% produce more and better science than the bottom 90% combined.

There's all kinds of reasons to expect that too... Everything from funding, likely collaboration partners, talent, etc.

That would give it some theoretical basis.
Thanks Andyxor! We have a weekly writing session that my co-founder hosts and I'm going to host a couple of coding-specific sessions soon. Even more specific tasks like leetcode/interview prep would be super interesting.
One of our members hosts a weekly reading session—during busy weeks, that's basically the only time I'll make progress on a book, so that's been delightful.
As a counterpoint there are a number of things I don't like:

* I can only have Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs

* They've removed all but one external indicator light (there used to be four), and its behavior is completely useless (there's no way for me to tell externally what the power state of my machine is)

* They've killed the trackpoint

* This is the second of this series I've owned where neither of the fingerprint reader options are Linux compatible (no warning at purchase)

* The keyboard layout has regressed substantially - no more media keys, home and end keys are now fn-modified in the F row, page-up and page-down are also fn-modified where they used to be dedicated physical keys

* The e-port dock is gone in favor of a USB-attached version that occupies both USB-C ports on the chassis (and only provides two on the dock)

When I first received it my initial impulse was "if I wanted this level of regression per generation I'd still be buying Apple", but I've learned to live with it, embodying the grouchy sysadmin stereotype even further (in a hyperbolic way), much to the delight of my coworkers.

"According to media reports, the cloud computing industry does not take full advantage of the existing CSAM screening toolsto detect images or videos in cloud computing storage. For instance, big industry players, such as Apple, do not scan their cloud storage. In 2019, Amazon provided only eight reports to the NCMEC, despite handling cloud storage services with millions of uploads and downloads every second. Others, such as Dropbox, Google and Microsoft perform scans for illegal images, but 'only when someone shares them, not when they are uploaded'." [1]

So I guess the question is what exactly "others" are doing, 'only when someone shares them, not when they are uploaded'. The whole discussion seems to center around what Apple intends to do on-device, ignoring what others are already doing in the cloud. Isn't this strange?

Yes, and that's what they did. They were on the committee, helping out. Seems a lot of people have kind of rewritten the narrative here. Or maybe people forgot that committees & steering groups sometimes fall apart, slow to a crawl, or deliver standards that either aren't useful to developers or aren't feasible for implementers.

You'd be a moron to put all your hopes and dreams in a committee / industry working group delivering something to fix the problems with your platform. Sending more engineers to a committee that's already moving slowly will just slow things down further. So these companies, while sitting on the committee, worked on alternatives and had backup strategies.

Those strategies turned into Metal and DirectX 12, and the committee realized, "Oh, if we don't fix the problems with OpenGL, it will become completely irrelevant." So, in response to this new competition, the OpenGL steering committee started working on OpenGL Next, which later became Vulkan, and about two years later, got released.

It's amazing what a little competition can do.
>> if the pipes were easily accessible.

Also more accessible to damage from vandals and car crashes. And they would freeze in winter. And they would expand/contract with temperature changes, leading to increased cracking etc. The only places that use above ground water/sewer pipes are those with unsupportive soils such as permafrost or deep sand that would cause breaks.
> It's crazy how a nation of "religious fundamentalists" created the modern world. Crazy how "religious fundamentalists" created the wealthiest nation.

Not sure that responding to an overly reductive conclusion with an even more reductive conclusion is helping.

FWIW I wouldn't say that fundamentalism itself did much to advance the world or make any nation rich. Except perhaps to motivate some people to seek unexploited resources elsewhere.

Russia has its own troubles, and I'm not going to judge Putin one way or another, he has an air of a tyrant, but Russia doesn't have the social society needed to form a fair and free democracy, the Russian "Family" of oligarchs is always at bay, and so maybe Putin is a necessary ruler as it stands.

But I think one thing that is obvious is that Putin sees foreign relations as a very competitive ground, and so destabilizing the US is to the benefit of Russia, as they see the US as a major blocker for Russia's expension in the international sphere.

As for Americans, I don't think they hate Russians. What it is is they love their freedom, and they hate anyone who might be working to take it from them. That's why there are only two options, either make the whole world free, or continue to have the strongest military in order to protect their freedom from others. And I respect that, since I value freedom myself.

Russia, as you must know, isn't really promoting free and fair democracy right now. So American see them as a threat to free society and their freedom.

And Russia might be wanting to continue its expension of conquests to its former Soviet partners, so after expending in Ukraine and Georgia, they might want to move in on others. But the biggest blocker for Russia to expend its military conquests is NATO, and that's why destabilizing the US is to the benefit of Russia. Or having a president like Trump which didn't value NATO or helping its allies, that also benefits in this case.

Also, there is a lot of evidence that Russia meddled in US elections. Neither you nor me will see it first hand, so if you don't trust the FBI, the US House Committee of Intelligence, the Special Counsel of Mueller, and the Republican independent intelligence investigation, well there's nothing more you can do. But all those investigations reported the same finding, that there was systematic interference from Russia, attempts at hacking election systems, hacking of elected official computers, leaks of their data (like Hilary's emails), social media troll farms, etc. What there wasn't was enough evidence that Trump collaborated with them on this.

Another good reason isn't so much pro-trump as being against Clinton, since the Clinton are responsible for adding to NATO former Soviet allies like Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. And that was always seen like a slap in the face by Russia, which made them wary of the US.

Some people even blame that move by Clinton for the bad US-Russia tensions we have today.

Hopefully that gave you enough context why Russia would want to interfere in the American elections, as well as simply in their general cultural and social spheres.

One problem, which almost everyone in the industry knows (although many don't acknowledge it), is that "college" means all kinds of things: https://jakeseliger.com/2014/04/27/paying-for-the-party-eliz.... College students who major in "business" or "communications" perform differently than those who major in electrical engineering. College is not a panacea, and the "college for everyone" idea is based on a correlation between college degrees and subsequent earnings, but, ideally, one will learn in college that correlation is not causation.
You're making the assumption the interviewers at FAANG companies know this stuff. Many don't. The FAANG companies cast a wide net filtering out below-average engineers, knowing that there are some rock stars in what remains. The average FAANG employee isn't unlike your average coworker in any software development shop. Besides, if you really want to "change the world" you'll quickly realize you're not going to be able to do it at a FAANG.
You CAN estimate slope. Look at past performance.

If a person switches from a role doing front end, to a role doing back end... what does that say about their slope? Now they goto DevOps/SRE? What about shifting towards UI Design?

CSV does not have date or currency types. Those are an Excel conventional microformat overlaid on top of CSV.

The semantics of CSV — how it decodes, if you don't have an application making additional configured assumptions or using heuristics to detect microformats — is just N columns, one of header names, N of raw text cells. Nothing more, nothing less. No schema defining what a column's type is.
I still don't get why you think all you can eat restaurants operate at a loss. Businesses that operate at a loss close after a while; all you can eat restaurants are no different. However, they tend to turn a profit by charging you a pretty sum just for the privilege of eating there (you do know you have to pay for all-you-can-eat restaurants, right?), in the hope that you are not so hungry that you will bankrupt them. In other words, they are taking a gamble - but it's a gamble that usually works out fine for them.

Your link specifically says that 2% of the labor force are farmers. It does NOT say that all people involved in the entire chain of activities that ends with food sitting on your plate represent just 2% of the labor force. Other people involved are the people who make the fertilizer, the people who package the food (for example, by canning it), the people who put it on store shelves, and the people who transport it all at each stage. Your fourth link has a helpful chart: actual farming represents a mere 7.6% of the cost of the food.

Your links do not establish that 10% of the food production was subsidized. Even if they did, a subsidy is not free money; it is paid from taxes that everybody pays. Thus, assuming the 10% number holds up, the only conclusion that you can draw is that 10% of the cost of food production is socialized.

It does not logically follow that if we pay a certain percentage of the labor force for food production, we can therefore afford to give the food away for free. That assumes there is undue profit in the chain that could be removed. Such profit might exist, but you have done nothing to establish that as a fact.

Sociology is not the science of government cheese. Even so, the overproduction only represents yet another failure of central planning; the free market would not have made such a mistake. It is public money, taken from tax payers, and spent on producing unwanted goods. Nothing about it is free.

However, that 'sociology' does explain a lot about why you are so horribly misinformed about how the world works.
The presence of this list is very helpful. Unfortunately, some of the points are controversial.

> Types eagerly implement common traits

This is particularly concerning to me for multiple reasons. If my 4K structure can be copied, should it derive `Copy`? This leads to users implicitly copying it around instead of using references more aggressively.

If all my types implement `PartialEq`, `Debug`, and other stuff, that means a lot of code generation at compile time, which gets hopefully eliminated by LLVM passes. And then we are wondering why Rust compilation/linking is so slow :/
Interesting perspective, and thanks! Per your last point, it's basically correct, but more like an involuntary loan.
Upfront payment is never required, but a debt always results. If you were to arrive unconscious at a hospital after an accident, they would save your life and you could wake up to a bill that was more than your net worth. No person with any sense and assets to protect would go without health insurance. The poor just avoid the debt collectors as long as they can.
That figure was to point out the large volume flowing through the system. Containment will have to be very good. Only a tiny percentage of that tritium can be allowed to escape.

Realize also that what has to be constrained is the cumulative leakage from all fusion power plants, not just a single one. The world would need on the order of 10,000 1GW power plants, to displace fossil fuels.

This kind of thinking shows how artificial intelligence has fallen since the 1970s.

There's a big, important difference between "fake fraudulent findings" and "not-replicable findings." The latter suggests problems stemming from a big nasty complicated poorly-understood world, and can be improved with introspection and change over time. The first step is the greatly increased discussion over it now than in the past - we're discovering the size of the problem. The next step will be to do things with that. Publishing negative results, getting everyone to have a better understanding of prob/stat... I think those are the directions to go in.

But also according to your link, it has 111 registered voters, a much higher number than the official population. What am I supposed to take away from this? That the census isn't counting people correctly, or that you can be registered to vote somewhere but not live there?

If your optimization goal is "use the least memory possible," then sure, manual memory allocation is the way to go. I was addressing a different optimization goal: the "high performance" case, meaning approximately "high throughput, low latency operation."

There is a common misconception that GC invariably precludes the construction of a "high performance" system, which is not true. If your use case allows you to not care as much about larger memory consumption -- 2x to 3x does seem like a reasonable first approximation of "larger" -- then GC is indeed a viable option for building "high performance" systems.

This case is not uncommon. Not everyone is targeting a memory constrained console or embedded system.

In many (though of course not all) cases, the tradeoff is well worth it -- consume more memory at runtime, spend some time tuning the GC, and in exchange developers can ship a product faster, by having to spend significantly less time dealing with manual memory allocation.

Couldn't you use regular fusor to generate neutrons to enrich uranium? Do you specifically need neutrons with the 14.1Mev energy produced by D-T fusion (which you can make in a regular fusor, if you have the tritium for it) or is there a path starting from lower energy levels? Or do fusors just not make enough neutrons for enrichment to be practical?
