You have to remember that one of the major activist groups in support of affirmative action is called, in full, the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary.

By Any Means Necessary.

There really is no way for a bureaucratic institution like a university to win against such a committed, devoted movement. If the university didn't "buckle", the activists would find a target higher up the chain to pressure to punish the university -- grant and endowment sponsors, that sort of thing. Get students to rally on or near the residences of the professors who approved the talk. Send activists to physically blockade the building where the talk is supposed to be given. And on and on. When nothing is off the table -- when there are "no bad tactics, only bad targets" -- there are plenty of fallbacks to employ if your first plan fails.
Bring over a casserole. Ask them out for coffee and, depending on what they want, either just listen or talk about completely unrelated things to give them a break.

Do you always believe every study or media report? Not even saying I believe directed energy weapons were used as I am half-joking but the original article above is from the 90s. What top secret tech does the military have that you don't know about and what would the reports on prematurely leaked classified defense secrets sound like in the media?

Why should I stick to LTS?
All other versions aren't in any way less tested, you should always stick to the newest released JDK version, be it LTS or not, this way you get all the benefits (language features, performance gains) and security ones (security fixes always first land in the newest version, and are backported to the older ones).

Upgrades now are pretty straightforward if you are past JKD 9 - with JDK 16-17 being a bit tricky, but less than JDK 9.
Because security is non-binary - once you share your information, it is up for grabs.

Everyone else's explanation is "supply and demand", which is true, but less than fully explanatory. Most of the difference is in demand; the per-capita supply of software engineers (very broadly defined) seems to be pretty similar between the US, UK, and Germany (taken as two of the larger economies in Europe), and even if they weren't there's no reason to expect that the percentage of the population that'd be capable and willing if the market conditions were right would be all that different either.

So why is demand higher in the US? It's not "VC money", VC money is still downstream of the true cause - well-run tech companies in the US have _much higher_ returns on the labor of software engineers, on average, than anywhere else. In a sense, this is a virtuous cycle - as the larger tech companies grow, they develop more and more opportunities where it becomes profitable to hire additional software engineers strictly to optimize their internal processes, putting them further ahead and accelerating the increase in the return on labor.
Hollywood - the movie industry more broadly - is also mostly gone now. They're all cowards, terrified of doing or saying anything critical of China (for exactly the same reason the NBA is, fear of losing the China market). They should be at the forefront of being critical of an illiberal superpower, given their supposed ideological leanings as an industry. Instead they're hiding in the back of the room, they'll be the last to say anything.

I guess it serves right to folks who endlessly hated Maven and liked this "new", "next generation" , "modern" build system with no XML. Turns out as long as JDK-8 is supported version of Java a lot of tools like this look modern.
Yes, great point - you can define and deploy your resources to LocalStack using CloudFormation (either as YAML or JSON files). This makes it very easy to maintain and exchange stacks in a platform-neutral way.

Btw - we're also offering integrations for Terraform (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest...) and Pulumi (https://github.com/localstack/pulumi-local), among others.

Since we were talking about inheritance, how is this relevant? While alive the person has their wealth and the incentive you mentioned (if it's even all that relevant to them, but that's an unrelated question), and the next generation has the same incentive. More in fact if they have to actually do something compared to them simply inheriting a lot of wealth.
You understand the other articles didn't mention anything like that, right? You can't expect other people to try harder than you to find evidence for your claims.

Fort Worth increased police funding and had a larger murder rate increase than Seattle.[1] And I don't think Texas had stricter restrictions than Washington. That's just 1 example.

The summer protests kicked off the discussions about defunding police. Murder rates were higher already.[2]

The AP article said city council policies were 1 of 3 reasons Seattle police said they quit. A so called anti police climate in the city was another. Disagreements with department leadership was the last. It's worth noting they're under federal oversight for excessive force since 2012. They seem unwilling to admit they have a problem.

I didn't test CalyxOS yet but I suggest you to try GrapheneOS, if you have a Pixel. I think it is really well done, the documentation is detailed and the team's attention about security, and so privacy, is rock solid.
If you have a c++ compiler available you can get significant speedups without any changes to the code (except for using complex not np.complex, because it's deprecated). Just add a comment

#pythran export PyMandelbrot(uint8[:,:,:], int)

Note I passed the array into the function to remove the image creation from the module.

This yields a 18.6 ms vs 1.1s for the original for size 320.
As a side note I find it worrying that a blog which is called speed matters uses time instead of timeit.
In the cases you give, the original list is not being mutated; a new object (a string, not a list) is being created. So it does make sense not to have it be a method call on the list.

I couldn't figure out what it was, but it was definitely a problem with NixOS itself, possibly with expired root certificates or something like that. The upgrade command couldn't connect to the nixos servers. I know there was at least one root certificate that expired in the past 3 years, so maybe I just caught a bad interval for not upgrading.

Aside from the services provided by your municipality (which may or may not be paid for out of property taxes) there's the aspect of imputed rent; the notional benefit that you as a tenant receive from yourself as a landlord. Some places tax that explicitly, as it happens.
Most experienced managers that I've met can work around that sort of comment:

"We need this by January"

"Let's discuss the hiring process for the new team members we're going to need to accomplish that."

"We don't have the budget for hiring at the moment. If more headcount is truly necessary, you are welcome to use your salary to obtain it."

90% of the time, the project arrives lat, but there's no other major consequences and the manager points to this as evidence that you were padding your budget with superfluous resource. 9% of the time, you buy a new web server on your own credit card and the manager brags to his boss about coming in under budget. 1% of the time, catastrophe hits, the company goes bankrupt, and he tells everyone that call for a reference that your incompetence drove the company out of business.

If you think this is hyperbole, a previous employer stated that a competent sysadmin would never lose data, so back-ups were a waste of money and made admins pay for them out of pocket.
nix is awesome and would make a great addition to windows and mac as well, if we all standardize on something like this, we could have more reproducible computing environments across dev, prod, and fun. also improves security a lot due to software supply chain management w/ immutable builds, and could make rebuilds + updates far easier and faster

it's a bit esoteric though, the syntax and docs can both improve a lot.

I have 0 clue why in the 1970s we didn't make it a de jure situation, like with Korea, like with Vietnam.

China wanted the UN seat, right? Would they really turn that down because the US insisted on saying some shit about Taiwan? When they were kinda broke and caught between us and Soviets? Did the KMT really not want to give up "Republic of China", even if it meant being relegated to non-country status? Does it even matter what they think, being a subordinate dictatorship at that point?

This seems like entirely a problem of the US's creation.

> You can argue that once information is shared it's up for grabs by anyone but i argue that this is simply not true

I think it is true. The old saying is that once you tell someone a secret, it's no longer a secret.

The ecosystem around mobile devices is just such that real privacy is impossible. That's not unlike many other things; pretty much any form of communication has this feature to one degree or another. There are just so many third parties and intermediaries involved in mobile platforms that's it's particularly bad.
This is a mixed bag, as is MFE. Getting rid of legacies and sports admissions (and donor's kids) is good, but the supposed meritocratic admissions that are blind to disadvantaged students can be charitably described as naive. Bundling those goals together is also naive if it is not disingenuous.

As another commenter noted "Some cursory searches show that FIRE might not be as neutral as I thought they were." I am guessing I will find the same applies to MFE.
Localstack Pro looks quite nice and comprehensive, but the CI pricing seems to really discourage proper continuous integration best practices. At 10 cents per run you're encouraging developers to run their CI pipelines as little as possible, while ideally you'd run CI on each commit and you'd commit often, probably 10s is times a day. In that case Localstack Pro for CI would get costly very quickly.

Why not have CI pricing per project/repo. Regardless of how often it runs.
If it is useful enough that someone is willing to pay for it as a service, then it fundamentally changes the incentive model and voids the security it provides.

There is more to this now tho, because even their topline recommendation misses the fact that Temurin (anagram of runtime) only provides a small subset of tested builds you need.

On NixOS installing any package is the same as reinstalling the operating system. Reinstalling the operating system just took a minute longer because it had to do more downloading. (edit: in theory, I actually bet that the certificates sneakily leak mutable state into the system with the expiry process, i.e. I bet that if I reinstalled the same version of NixOS with the same configuration, I'd get an install that would actually be able to talk to the nixos package servers)

But you're right to be worried a little bit, and this is exactly why many people criticize NixOS. In theory it's the most perfect operating system, but in practice it's so complicated that when something's bugged it's really hard to figure out how to recover, and the documentation is not up to the task of educating you on what to do when things are wrong.

Also this situation was a bit special because it couldn't talk to the NixOS servers for upgrading (I presume due to an expired root certificate, but I couldn't figure it out), if it was any other problem, I could simply roll back the upgrade process (which would be instantaneous because it doesn't actually remove the old packages when you upgrade).
On the other hand, a lot of people on HN promote Kubernetes, even for relatively basic sites/servers/APIs

Of course Wikimedia won't take any action to appease this totalitarian nonsense. But, most for-profit companies do exactly that. When was the last time any Hollywood movie or mainstream entertainment mentioned Taiwanese conflict? When do you last remember seeing "Free Tibet"? Or any Tibet? Chinese film censors can apply billions of dollars of pressure, simply to change a single word. Who can withstand that?

Wikimedia is just one small pebble in this river.

Soft propaganda is going to rewrite how the world perceives the sinosphere, more thoroughly and more profoundly than any Winstons rectifying Wikipedia.

Resin is really nasty stuff though. Many folks may not want to deal with having it in the home and disposing of it.
The article mentions that the restrictions for generators aren't planned to take effect until much later (2028), and that can be postponed by CARB. Also, it's only for portable generators. If you're relying on generator power multiple times per year, it probably makes sense to get one permanently installed.

To be sure, the 'stages of grief' as originally presented by Kuebler-Ross were not linear, and had no set endpoint. One can be angry, then accepting, and then angry again... And maybe never even touch bargaining. They're about documenting and normalizing the extremely varied human response to death.

Most curiously, the stages of grief were originally about /the experiences of people who were dying/, not the survivors.

The problem is, people are using ivermectin, which may or may not be able to help a person who has a viral infection (as can many other drugs which are proven to be much more effective) instead of treatments which are much better, and instead of preventing it in the first place with the vaccine, masks, and distancing. That's what makes many of the claims about it "quackery"

I'm a bereaved father, who lost his only child 5 years ago.

If it's the loss if of their child, bring up the child by name. Yes, it will trigger some emotions in the bereaved, but it also lets them know that someone else remembers their child's life.

Other than that, perhaps help them seek out a formal self-help support group if they are so inclined. The Compassionate Friends -- such a group supporting relatives after a child dies -- is one good example for my case. My wife and I think that TCF really helped us. I'm sure there are similar groups for other bereavement situations.

Don't expect them to ever "be the same" again. They most likely can't be...
In humanitarian aid security management, you take rumors seriously, as a reflection of the reality "the street" dictates.

I've been in a situation where staff was worried that a currency was going to be devalued, and "word on the street" was that there could be trouble after pay day if pay was in the wrong currency. My country financial controller made a quick decision: we don't pay in that currency, we pay in the one "the street" believes is safe. It didn't change anything for us as an employer, just kept our staff safe by being on the "right side" of reality. We left it to the embassy and national bank to fight the (losing) war trying to prop up confidence in the currency.

> All other versions aren't in any way less tested

That depends. If most people follow the advice of "sticking to LTS", these versions will have way more users, and thus will be more "battle-tested", as in tested in production.
It's better than a lot of alternatives, but it is not "perfectly fine". It's about much more than word usage for China, and they will exploit every inch given to them on this matter until they have occupied Taiwan.
The reporting is bullshit. The (both the linuxjournal and its DasErste source) claims the rules call Linux Journal an extremist forum. The actual rules say

"These variables define terms and websites relating to the TAILs (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) software program, a comsec mechanism advocated by extremists on extremist forums."

There is a huge difference between matching some of those criteria (which may cause your surveillance data to be retained longer) and actually being targeted for active attacks.

Regarding the longer retention, the Linuxjournal article says that "the Tagesschau story provides new details about how the NSA's XKEYSCORE program decides which traffic to keep indefinitely" but I found no such information in the Tagesschau story (http://web.archive.org/web/20141005083429/http://www.tagessc...)

The consequences of having traffic to one of the tagged sites were never really publicly explained, always just "THE NSA IS WATCHING SPECIFICALLY FOR (random thing the NSA had a selector for)". Given how many people match each of these selectors, just matching one of them can't mean that much.
No, I was actually happy about this.
