The main reason, imho, is because the tests are generally bad, and the folks in charge aren’t quite sure what to do about it.

There is quite a bit of stuff that one can learn in a class that might not show up on a test. A few examples:

1. Certain small subject matter specifics that may not be measured on a relatively short timed test.

2. Discovering peer groups to study with.

3. The test structure at the university/department — some smart people get bombed early in their academic careers just because they aren’t familiar with the test type.

A well-structured series of courses can be built out assuming that each student in later courses has at least been exposed to certain ideas in earlier courses. If you test out, there is no guarantee that these learners have been exposed to those ideas. Yes, a better test could reveal all of this stuff, but making good tests or test banks is difficult and time consuming, and that assumes that there is some expertise in evaluation/testing in the department faculty (which is rare).
I think it’s free during the beta
It's tough to get right, but very powerful when implemented well. It probably shouldn't be used everywhere but for certain use cases it makes a lot of sense and solves some problems unique to native apps.

Not just Eastern Europe. The salaries are much lower in the UK, Germany,etc. which means anyone on this side of the pond working for the same company could end in a situation like this.
Yes yes, let's blur the line between corporations and the state. What dystopia, look at the shiny phone.
The more nuanced argument is that the reaction to Docker’s change to charging for the Desktop version is less about the money and more about the stability of the company itself. Surprising your customer base by charging for a previously free product shows that the financials of the company aren’t very stable. This, in turn, is a red flag to rely too heavily on this particular product. Which can then start to cause a downward spiral, if not managed correctly.

But honestly, we already knew this about Docker. They’ve always had issues trying to figure out their business plan.

Is this how you got in trouble with wiki Greg?

By altering realities..... forcing your vision of the world through peoples throats?

Regarding Arthur, the guy needs no encouragement, he needs help. Incredibly unhealthy obsession with Craig, so don’t go telling him he is helping humanity lol....

Regarding double hash, it is being used by miners today Greg within BSV... and it works.

Interestingly again it is YOU that seems to think that it is a BAD idea, just like you think everything is a bad idea that isn’t lining up with your vision.

We know your modus of operandi, we also know how far you are willing to go to protect your ideals....

It is why you are to this day fighting Craig....
Although I don't use Deno, I'm impressed by Deno's efforts to make the installation and deployment process as easy as possible.

For example, Deno is installed as a single runtime exe. Compare that to the hundreds of tiny files spewed out by installers from other interpreted languages.

And now we have this service to deploy Deno apps in the cloud. I have long felt that easy deployment of server-based web apps has been seriously neglected and developers underestimate how important it is (particulalry if your are creating a web app that you want to share or sell to others). It's no surprise that SaaS dominates today when the self-hosted alternative is so ludicrously complicated in comparison.

It's ironic that some of the most popular interpreted languages for web apps (like Python and Ruby) are the opposite of easy when it comes to server/cloud deployment.

I hope Deno's efforts in this space will encourage developers from other languages to tackle this sorely neglected problem.
There are some very good arguments as to why government should not be paying for college education:

- Loosely speaking K-12 can be seen as a public good because of which it may make sense for the society to pay for other people's education. College education is not a public good in the same way because at any rate only few folks will go to college and it is immoral for the other people being forced to pay for college education of those kids. If college educated kids earn even more then it is even more immoral for poor people to pay for rich.

- Unlike K-12, college education involves specialization. A gender studies degree is worthless compared to say a nurse. But because education is free a lot of students might enroll in more and more worthless degrees. This will have great negative impact on productivity of US society. A lot of folks who do not have any productive skills, a lot of folks staying out of labour market in their crucial years. I will work at a local farm for a year rather than pursue some of the college degrees any days.

- When government pays for education it distorts the market. You can see it as a subsidy. But then it also means more and more worthless colleges which have more and more worthless degree programs that focus on "good life" for kids.

Found | San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, REMOTE | Engineering, Product, Design, Customer Experience | found.com

We’re building Found so self-employed people have the support, structure, and confidence to work for themselves. Our founding team has hands-on experience with taxes and accounting, financial services and FinTech, self-employment, and scaling startups. Our team is dedicated to taking care of business banking, expense tracking, and tax saving so self-employed people have more time to do what they do best.

In 2019, we started by identifying a real problem that we could solve—not a technology in search of a problem—and began building our v1 product. We launched in March 2020, and spent the rest of the year building out and validating a solid technical and operational foundation. We recently raised our Series A from Sequoia Capital, and today we are expanding and scaling a product experience that thousands of Found customers use to run their businesses.

100% agree.

It took me three attempts to make it to the end, because the violence is so... much. But once you manage to ... let's say "transcend" that, it is a very rewarding experience. I absolutely adore how McCarthy manages to evoke such graphic imagery with such sparse prose (both the violent parts and the landscapes), plus the Judge just has got to be the best antagonist in the history of literature.

And the ending has a certain magic I have not found words for. Strangely serene. I suspect there is some symbolism or reference I am missing.
> neo-banks with weak KYC/AML policies

It looks like banks need to be better regulated. This seems to be a solution to this and a whole lot other problems.
How can something that is not sentient be /accused/ of a involvement in anything.
They can set the Fed fund rate anywhere they want... if they are willing to accept the consequences of doing so.

Anywhere they set the Fed fund rate, there will be consequences, of one kind or another. The Fed is trying for the lest-bad set of consequences, and therefore their possible policy is severely constrained.
I'm hoping it's like Apple Pay, where I choose and authorize with Face ID + button. It shouldn't be passively readable. Anyways, it will be awhile before it applies in California. CA DMV is not an early adopter of this.
I doubt the cache is a serious problem.

Firestorm has 2x the ports across the board (int, fp, load/store, and simd). To keep those ports busy, it has a massive instruction window (630 entries). Keeping those fed requires large I-cache.

x86 instructions are 15-20% more dense than uarch64, but the fastest x86 cores still have only 32kb of I-cache (in fact, AMD went down from 64kb in Zen 1 to 32k in Zen 2/3), so I doubt doubling that is the major limitation here.

In this particular micro-benchmark, I doubt even extremely bloated code would get anywhere close to 1k of instructions for the loop let alone 64k. There might be something to say about the size of the dedicated loop cache that many chips have, but that's a completely different animal.
> The loss of arts and social sciences would be a catastrophe for the academic world.

But a blessing for most students who need a job to pay their student debts after graduation. Sacrificing art students by taking their tuition knowing no or too few jobs exist is unacceptable. Keeping social sciences and art departments alive should require a source of money that does not create non-dischargeanle student debts and jobless students.
It exposes the Docker socket so you can use the docker client with it. That’s the recommended configuration anyways.
Wrong. The US cities hit hardest by the housing crisis have some of the strongest rent control laws.
Good quality integrated components might have a higher MTBF to begin with.
I'm surprised that forgiven debt isn't considered income. It would be in the US, but then in the US the debt would still be owned by the estate and is still collectable.
Exactly. A website or web app can be updated as often as you want and you can be certain all your users will be seeing the latest version. Native apps have a different release cycle which brings unique challenges. SDUI is an approach to bring some of the benefits that web apps have to native. Of course you could just embed a web view in your app but then you lose out on a lot of things that make native great.

Maybe, maybe not. There is growing evidence that the 1889 pandemic wasn't caused by influenza at all but rather by another coronavirus.

The problem is if you want to write a news article about some tax policy and want to include sliders to let readers explore the likely outcomes, or a COVID article where you can see the difference between an r of 1.1 and of 1.14 you are making a much better news article, but you still need to write code.

The demand for subsidization of college education is coming from very woke academics who want more taxpayer money for their "woke programs".

College education in USA is ridiculously cheap if you are not looking at top colleges. Plenty of universities in silicon valley which can give you a wide array of useful degrees for very affordable price. Affordable = You can pay your student loans within 2 years of gainful employment post degree.
Nice idea! Although if you’re going to it, use POST instead of GET as GET requests are not for updates but for idempotent requests.
I agree with you, but I do think it really is a problem that students disproportionately choose the "useless" degrees rather than STEM fields. I anecdotally know of many who in hindsight wish they had studied computer science or something more employable.
Ansible looks useful, but YML is a hellscape file format.

Is there a system equivalent to Ansible that uses a decent config file format?
Probably not in the context of the example I gave; that's more likely to just be a totally random genome duplication which will eventually be functionally selected away.
Wow this is the most bizarre thing...

If I imagine the wheel over my head (as if the wheel axle was vertical), or in front of me but the axle going forwards (wheel is moving left/right), I can do the opposite circles just fine.

But if I imagine the axle going left/right as you describe, it takes extra cognitive effort. If I imagine drawing circles, I can't do it. Instead, I have to think of each axis of movement separately. In my mind, I'm not thinking "Draw circles in the air", but rather, "Move fingers forward and back, while moving arms up and down".

The end result is the same, but what's happening in my mind to get there is totally different.
I've seen it. Twice.

The first time was a bit of a let-down, but the cast is brilliant, and I have come to appreciate the slow pacing very much.
I would agree if the choice was binary. But it isn't. Many alumni of arts and humanities later go into professions that are not only useless, buy actually harmful to society, while not contributing to actual art and culture: Advertising, Marketing...
AKA use spaced repetition software like Anki or SuperMemo
Page fees are usually paid out of the grant. Some science journals have, in the past, waived page charges for people not supported by grants or institutions, or who just couldn’t pay, sometimes at the cost of slower processing of the article.
And the risk to Docker is that the red tape required to buy the product isn’t worth the hassle, especially if there are alternatives to using the paid product.

This is all based on open source, so I’d expect there to be many new alternatives within weeks. And workflows for existing tools/interfaces will probably be detailed in blog posts by the weekend.
I don't.

I wish a lot of consumers wouldn't but they don't know any better (and probably don't care).

Interestingly, fly.io did do something very similar with javascript in the beginning, before they pivoted to their current container based model.
I like to see a complex build system as a data flow setup where the configuration is the input and the build artifacts are the output. Meson supports that model nicely, and it hides (mostly) what happens at configuration time from what happens at build time. Future versions of Meson could move bits from Meson-time to ninja-time transparently.

This, plus the fact that there is no aliasing (objects are either immutable or copied on assignment), means the imperative nature is mostly hidden. Heavily macroized Makefiles can have much more of an imperative style than meson.build files.
The intro touches on something I learned to be true very early in my technical writing career, but which isn't discussed much and may not be widely known:

> helping to push forward all sorts of efforts around knowledge-sharing at Jane Street

As a TW I often find myself advocating for more scalable/sustainable/permanent ways to store institutional knowledge. The classic example is email. Sometimes there is extremely useful knowledge buried in an email thread. I often work with engineers (or whoever) to turn that knowledge into publicly searchable documentation.

P.S. tangentially related to the title of this post, my brother came up with a fun self-deprecating joke (which I later used on as a tagline [1])

As I said before you can still provide the other method for installing packages, but at least you cover >90% of all Linux installs (and I'm an arch user).

The thing is simply if I need to install system packages I want them to show up in the system tools. The problem with pip and co doing their own thing is it never shows up in the system tools. That's the same on windows, I don't see it those in the software manager. As a user/admin that means I now need to keep track of one more tool to see what is installed on my system.
Will be very interested in this
If you government pays for it someone in Washington would. Ideally (and how it happens today to some extent) this much be determined by market.

Yes, absolutely. I very much do not agree with the way that zoning has been used in the US (at least) for racist and classist purposes, typically in the way you describe above.

That said, I think that a concept similar to zoning is probably a good one to have on hand, particularly for uses like greenspace of various sorts. It's use does need to carefully controlled/moderated.
And even when using that definition, it doesn't mean there is less use. It will add marginal use for each addtional dollar, and increase overall use.
Drink less, exercise more – advice on pandemic living from an 18th-century poem
No, the original link was: https://www.docker.com/blog/updating-product-subscriptions/.

The page reads as follows:

> These new terms take effect August 31, 2021, and there is a grace period until January 31, 2022 for those who require a paid subscription…

So: announced 31.08, effective 31.08 (albeit grace period).

To add to this, I have received their email with this announcement after after 2pm CEST on 31.08. This must have been an unplanned decision.
web app won't integrate like native components can. here, it uses idioms of iOS and Android UI including navigation etc. It's just doesn't have this feeling of foreign component. In addition you get no-cost UI update for never/older system versions (since it uses platform components). Not trying to mimick platform.
Writing ansible playbooks can be very creative, and so can tapping your foot.

Also, there is no requirement that a hobby has to produce something tangible or be creative. Watching television, drinking, people watching, and meditating could all be considered hobbies. Anything you do somewhat regularly to relax or for enjoyment, that isn't your job, is a hobby.

I am fine with providing social services to alleviate homelessness needs. Getting these people jobs would be the way to go. For those that cannot find jobs or are mentally unstable - they can continue to live off welfare.

UBI would go to 99.9% of the polulation that is not homeless.
