I think your first step might be to take a single class at a university, on whatever subject interests you.

Your question is at first straightforward. You say the "arts", which to many means the Fine Arts: painting, sculpture, music, etc. And so they advise you of the financial pitfalls. All well and good.

But upon closer inspection, your words are are little mysterious, because as examples you include sociology, history, and journalism. As others have pointed out, these are unlike trying to become a full-time novelist or guitarist. Broadly speaking, however, they do fall under the Arts, specifically the Liberal Arts, or the Humanities. If that is what you mean, the financial outlook still is dimmer than good old computer programming, finance, or business, but much brighter than trying to make a living as a painter.

As for getting into one of these Liberal Arts fields, I don't have a lot of good examples. The best advice I would have has already been given: in that you simply try to join a company that overall is in the field you are interested in. For example, if you are into journalism, try to get a job at a news company. If you are a history buff, maybe try to get a job at a textbook company or some other publisher of history books. It doesn't matter what kind of job you get. So you could exploit your expertise and try to land a job as a computer programmer there or something else technical. But once you are in there, as many have said here and elsewhere, it is far easier to slowly work your way into one of the more artistic jobs within the company. This is because of the huge importance of trust. The company now knows you, you are part of its circle, and after a couple of years of them observing that you're not a psycho, that trust goes a long way, and you actually have an advantage over a total stranger applying with a little bit stronger of a resume, because the company at this point is unsure that the stranger is trustworthy. Trust is huge. Join a company you like, make a few friends, bounce around from the inside.

But before that, you might consider just taking a college class --- the very thing you missed out on early on. This will give you a feel for what the work is like and might expose you to a few like minds, to the very beginning of social networking. Your teacher or classmates could advise you on extracurricular activities or clubs and, slowly, you could work your way further and further along.

> No. Because to a first approximation, it is not possible in practice.

That doesn't really seem to fit how things work. It "used" to work, at least with DDG until a few months ago.

eg, giving a search query of:

"some specific IT term" "some other specific term" linux

Would actually return pages with those first two terms in them, and a "best effort" for the last term.

However, now their results are often garbage. It's most likely the search will have a list of results with neither of the first two "exact" terms in them, and may only have some resemblance to the third term.

Not sure what's going on, but it's been a huge step backwards and I'm now personally open to using an alternative search engine that actually works. _Not_ Google nor Bing though.
The paragraph about "bargaining is key" is probably the weakest - the others are supported by quotes from Adam Smith. One can of course argue if these quotes are cherry-picked or reflect Adam Smiths' views.

I would classify the article as historical revisionism. The conclusion "The concern with the welfare of the laboring poor is palpable throughout the book." means that the author at least read the whole of Adam Smith's book, which is more than what most internet commenters accomplish.
> SpaceX wasn't built from scratch

Neither was the government space program.

Besides, NASA has consistently been completely unable at making launches cost-effective. NASA failed at making reusable rockets. NASA simply retreated.

Compare the arcs of NASA's space shuttle with what SpaceX is accomplishing.
Interesting. I'm not a big fan of digital advertising, so I didn't click on your link. I found this, which was much more informative. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/invertedyieldcurve.asp
We’re running out of options other than violence.
There's still a pretty reasonable argument to be made that 11 billion is not a sustainable number.

I'm not suggesting we start killing people, but we will seriously need to think about how we manage the finite resources of the planet with >1.5x the number of people.
I'd say that in general Australians are more trusting of their government than our American friends. I often see poeple on Twitter like Joe Rogan and friends expressing total shock about how compliant Aussies are with what seems like draconian lockdown rules, but I think that misses the point. When our government says we can only go outside for an hour a day, there's a general sentiment that this is a shame but we understand these kind of things are necessary to get a handle on the pandemic. We don't assume this is an effort from our government to exert control, and believe this is a temporary measure in our best interests.

That being said, each time I read a headline like this I get slightly more concerned that if one day this trust is ever abused, it'll be all the worse because we never fought hard against these measures.
Before you jump on your outrage high horse, it would be worth your time to investigate the details.

This is about South Australia adopting a new quarantine at home option for those who are entering the country. Allowing people to quaratine at home with an App rather than at designated quarantine hotels is a REDUCTION in government overreach.

In Western Australia where something similar is in use, this is a voluntary part of a similar program that saves officers having to make more house calls.

If you don't bother to do basic research before you get outraged, your outrage will eventually be discounted as "crying wolf" and won't be as effective the next time you need to push back against real government overreach.
You'd also need solutions for deliveries, in-person shopping, timely commutes, and other things that transit and cycling don't solve.

Even many neighborhoods designed to be 100% walkable and pedestrian-first make affordances for delivery vehicles and similar. Those vehicles can and should be electric, but cycling and transit still aren't at all complete substitutes.
From the end of the article:

>> Blaze is certainly more tuned for performance and uses nefty techniques under the hood like padding, explicit loop-unrolling and turning divisions to multiplications to create more opportunities for FMA. However, aggressively tuning for performance implies more specialisations, more overloads, more “SFINAE” and so on and as result compiles slower than Eigen.
This is tongue in cheek but there are absolutely people even in tech who are either stupid enough to go along with that or secretly want that because they are full of hate towards the “unvaxxed.”

Which makes the media fearmongering about the “unvaxxed” even more dangerous. They never mention immunity from past infection which is now known to be superior protection.

Here’s a recent source:

https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...

That they insist on vaccinated vs unvaccinated in the media narrative is worrisome because it is going to lead to dehumanization and division.
> here is no reason whatsoever to not get vaccinated except under very very very limited circumstances

Do those limited circumstances include:

1) individuals with immunity acquired through previous infection?

2) the need to prioritize other individuals who have not been vaccinated once already?

3) vaccine resistance - i.e. in populations with dominant variants that to continue to evolve substantial resistance to current formulations?

4) vulnerable sub-populations (ie children & pregnant women) that have not yet participated in any long-term or large-scale clinical trials?
How is a requirement that children get vaccinated to go to school anything like what you listed? Are you arguing that those vaccines are crap and that polio would be awesome to have back?
I'm aware I'm taking the bait here but I think it's worth noting Aria2 is C++ as well. Not because of the compile time comment but because most expect such tools to be C and it's interesting to note in its own right.
Is this a new thing? I’m Irish and never seen a leaf blower in my life (other than one used by a professional groundskeeper).
Your friend would qualify for an exemption. Rare groups that are "not able" (or not recommended) to take the vaccine can file paperwork for an exemption. That's been the requirement for the law / guidance since the beginning.
The kind of insanity that has been the law for well over a year. Getting outraged at an effort to make that policy less draconian is pretty silly.
If you think you need a vaccine for a disease with a median age of death that's 84 you've badly failed at basic risk analysis and you've been massaged by the machine.

Obesity rates are significantly higher in the United States than in Europe. https://ourworldindata.org/obesity#what-share-of-adults-are-...
Please note I am not arguing against the vaccine. I am fully vaccinated. I am against limiting parts of society to people that haven't been vaccinated no matter the reason why. There is a big difference (I have all my vaccines, my son also has all his vaccines, and he may or may not get the covid vaccine depending on the recommendations for his age group).
That's option 3.
Gas powered motor scooters are being replaced by electric bicycles even before ICE cars are being replaced by EVs. In China, that transition is largely complete, and is happening in SEA and South Asia at a reasonable clip. See for example https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/paving-way-elect...

Here is another article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-04-20/hyperd..., quote:

> The second reason is that two-wheelers are going electric faster than any other segment of road transport. BNEF’s latest estimates put 2020 electric two-wheeler sales at over 25 million. That’s about 35% of sales globally, far ahead of passenger cars where EVs are still only around 5% of sales.

Although the issue with that statistic is probably because China has banned gas powered scooters (other developing countries are still catching up).

I predict that Electric scooters will long replace gas powered ones in developing countries before EV cars replace ICE cars. It’s kind of an economic no brainer given how cheap they are.
The determination of whether to proceed with medical intervention is usually done with a metric called quality adjusted life years (QALY: which is life years adjusted by quality of life), or rather they are never done if QALY is negative. And proceed to make a judgement call based on QALY/cost. As for studies, almost every cancer treatment study will use this metric as will _many_ other medical studies.
>No, it hasn't, but just posting an article how in the US before there was a vaccine mandate adds nothing to the discussion

Of course it doesn't further the discussion when you refuse to acknowledge it in the first place. I'll just copy and paste what I wrote again because you ignored it the first time.

>Does not being American affect your ability to read? I'm not Asian but I understand why many cultures have long ago adopted the widespread use of masks to prevent spreading illness.
It sounds like you have a massive yard. I can’t imagine having to spend more than 20mins raking a standard garden.
Thank you, but that isn't an example of ICUs filled with non-vaxxed. It might be an example of filled ICUs. When I look at reported ICU information for Mississippi, the data doesn't support that. [1]

I appreciate your posting that, but it isnt helpful for my situation.

Just think of them as generating entertainment value.

There is no steady state in which a worker can be paid more than the value he creates. As long as that state continues, value is being destroyed, and whoever is paying the worker will ultimately run out of willingness or, failing that, ability to pay.
I'm not aware of any poor economies without inequality either.
Really? What was the "massive government led taxpayer funded investment" in your phone? Microsoft wrote a big check to Apple to save it from bankruptcy, not the government.

Remember, it was Morse that invented digital telecommunications, and AT&T invented the transistor.
The problem comes not with what the code does but why the code exists in the first place.

The only time I ever feel the need to leave comments is to explain code that doesn't appear to be needed or isn't obvious why it exists. Usually this comes from agreed upon technical debt, short notice requirements with tight deadlines, or some other form of tradeoff.

"We're doing a simple check and throwing an exception here since we have work to introduce a more comprehensive permission system in xyz epic"

or something like

"There's a complicated race condition in xyz so we're doing a simple sleep here since the proper fix involves introducing a distributed lock"

Sure those types of things are cases you want to avoid but unfortunately you occasionally end up there anyway and leaving a short explanation about a compromise is better than ambiguous code that appears to serve no purpose
So just using bit torrent gets you a fine!?

The new app is part SA of creating an alternative to mandatory 2 week hotel quarantines. The app is only required for those who would rather do their 2 week quarantine in their own home.
Cheap Chinese electric bikes and trikes aren’t a thing in your country?

> It makes me think why there is not much push for electric motorcycles. Whenever EV is mentioned, it's always been a car.

That simply isn’t accurate. Chinese electric scooters were common even back in 2008, they are pretty ubiquitous by now. Electric motorcycles aren’t common, but neither are gas powered motorcycles in that country. These aren’t the fancy “for play” motorcycles replacements or electric bikes that the west want, but are definitely work horses in developing countries.
Employee hours are more elastic than wages. My employer can go weeks or months without me; I cannot go months without wages.

It’s also, obviously easy to divide and conquer employees. Uber demonstrated that you can pay workers less then they are spending!
This is the software that sits between a program wanting to play media and the device that plays it.

Ok, then show us those prosperous everybody-equal societies. Just one will do.
> If your course is graded so the top x% get an A

Is this... normal? I never had a single college course graded this way. If I had found myself inside of one I would have dropped out of the class and swapped to another as soon I looked at the syllabus.

Forget drug abuse, think about what workplace dynamics that teaches students to embrace. I was just talking about if we were working kids too hard or something, I didn't think we were explicitly encouraging students to view learning as a contest and their coworkers as enemies. I hope we wouldn't need to wait for a drug epidemic to realize that competitive grading is a really bad idea.

The people in my classes were my friends. We studied together outside of class, we worked together on group projects, we spent time figuring out our specialties and academic strengths, we sent each other links to tutorials and cheered each other on during difficult classes. Viewing those people as competitors would have been so toxic; I probably wouldn't have even learned half as much without a collaborative environment.

I'm kind of horrified by the idea: if anyone here is currently a student and your professors are doing competitive grading, they're not giving you your money's worth in education, you should be in a different class.
> timely commutes

Billions of people seem to have worked out how to do this on bicycles and public transport.
Another approach for this is to explore the format through Apple's tools for building dictionaries – as they provide a "Dictionary Development Kit" in Xcode's downloadable "Additional Tools" package (which has documentation for the XML format and a bunch of scripts/binaries for building the bundle).

I wound up doing this a while ago for a similar toy project. After some poking around, it turned out that dictionary bundles are entirely supported by system APIs in CoreServices! The APIs are private, but Apple accidentally shipped a header file with documentation for them in the 10.7 SDK [1]. You can load a dictionary with `IDXCreateIndexObject()`, read through its indices with the search methods (and the convenient `kIDXSearchAllMatch`), and get pointers to its entry data with `IDXGetFieldDataPtrs()`.

It takes a bit of fiddling to figure out the structure (there are multiple indices for headwords, search keywords, cross-references, etc., and the API is a general-purpose trie library) and request the right fields, but those property lists in the bundle are there to help! (As the author of this article discovered, the entries are compressed and are proceeded with a 4-byte length marker.)

I was a big reader of the rec.bicycles forums in the 1990s. That contributor Jobst Brandt was amazing in his reasoning on bicycles and their technology. Reading this brings back great memories.

I did not agree with him all the time, but he profoundly changed my views on endless debates at the time such as the effect of weight on the tradeoff of durability versus speed.
I'm kinda confused why they use fractions for burgers anyways. Of course metric would probably have prevented it, but even in standard you could say 5 vs 4 ounce. Or does that just sound smaller to people? AFAIK, in my lifetime at least, other meats like steak have always been advertised or listed in ounces.
That’s highly unlikely. The author is incorrect about it being a Zip file, it’s actually a simple gzip/zlib stream. Because it’s not possible to seek within such a stream, they are always chunked in any file that requires random access. Elsewhere there will be an index file which maps words to their corresponding chunks, so that the definition can be quickly loaded without having to decompress the entire file - or even load it all into memory. This is very normal stuff in the world of file formats.
It's hilariously slow. They started talking about this South Australian trial over three months ago. It's like how governments would plan a new train station, except it's in response to a fast-moving pandemic.

Health departments are supposed to be prepared for a pandemic, they've been happening for all of recorded history and it's in the job description to be alert and ready to manage it. Today is lockdown day 224 in Melbourne and here we are wondering how to eventually open up retail and manage international arrivals.
At some point last years I was fascinated with the jupyter ecosystem and was looking into something that could help making data analytic apps quick but not so dirty. Jupyter is the data side of thing, but the app side deviates so much from a standard web stack (react or web component) that it leaves much to be desired.
"Harrington informed APRS in July 2017 that having his fingerprints captured was contrary to his 'sincerely held religious belief.'"

Good on him, but I thought they actually checked up on the whole "religious beliefs" thing? Is this an actual Christian belief?

Edit: "Plaintiff, a devout Christian, informed AST that the Book of Revelation prohibits the “mark of the devil” which she believed included fingerprinting and that she would not get into Heaven if fingerprinted. She asked AST for an accommodation, such as undergoing a different type of background check that did not require fingerprinting.

AST purportedly informed her that no accommodations were available and terminated her employment for refusing to comply with CPSL’s fingerprinting requirement.

Asserting that AST allowed at least one employee with “unreadable” fingerprints to participate in an alternative background check, plaintiff’s ensuing lawsuit alleged religious discrimination and unlawful retaliation."

Truth is always stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense.
Sure, but there's different levels of complexity, risk, cost, recovery with different services. And it depends on your design. If you do go with a NoSQL distributed DB, I would absolutely push the maintenance off to cloud hosting; that shit is a nightmare to do yourself. RDBMS you can totally do yourself, but if you're not really great at DBA/infra/etc and it's the lynchpin for your service, will you really do a better job than a dedicated cloud hosting team?
Or weekly tests if the company provides for that.
I'm not sure how long these tactics will work, though. Australia tried, but once covid got a foothold, it's in, and they're past the point of lockdowns stopping it. There also comes a point where New Zealand will either have to accept the risk of covid or continue with a North Korea level of border isolation. The political endgame is pretty messy because opening the borders will introduce covid and people will die--not a lot, but probably more than the entire pandemic for the country.
Indeed, if you're a Party Member, you get to be more equal than others.

Do you consider people with immunity from past infections to be antivaxers?

https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...

Do you believe covid is dangerous enough to justify turning Australia into a totalitarian regime where you need to show papers to go anywhere and have constant surveillance even in your own home? Did you know they’re even dangling how many people can visit your home as a carrot?

https://theconversation.com/vaccine-passports-are-coming-to-...

“NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian yesterday announced freedoms for fully vaccinated people once 70% of the state’s eligible population are double dosed. These include being able to go to hospitality venues, hairdressers and gyms, and have five people to your home.”

Wake up now before it is too late. You’re falling for their us-them division tactic where they get you to hate the “anti vax” until you build the systems of your own enslavement.
