From swiping through dating apps with women, it seems like men in my city at least are trying pretty hard. Most have dating profiles with high-quality pictures of themselves doing interesting things with their friends. I don’t see a lot of the profiles you’re talking about.
Given the price inelasticity of college, the money to cover these defaults would probably just come from other students. They'd just hike tuition to cover the risk.

A much better solution is to revoke the ability of students at specific schools/programs to qualify for federal student loans if the outcomes of the program are poor. Turn off the spigot of money, and they will cleanup their act really quickly.
I spent some time time as a tier one agent, and will gladly confirm that any complaints given to us were forgotten by the time the call disconnected. If you're rude enough we might leave a note in your file as a warning to the next agent, but that's about as far as complaint handling ever went. Same goes for wanting a manager. Floor managers have no special tricks that they can use to fix problems, just nicer bedside manners.

Tier one CS is there to confirm where a fault lies, teach you basic troubleshooting, and send out techs. If the issue isn't on your premise the best we can do is check that outage for an ETR, though most of the time the crews won't establish one because that creates a deadline for them to meet.
US Government gets paid back also through tax revenues on the salaries of the school, salaries of studends, expenditures of the schools to US based companies, etc.

It might still be favorable for the US Tax Payer even if these loans end up un-paid.
Was this from a Linux vendor, or was it Windows hardware that you hoped would randomly work with Linux? System integration takes teams of folks months or years, even for Windows. I'm not sure why you'd decide to try your own hand at that if you don't want to deal with hardware.

'why don't you go work from a public wifi spot' is not a constructive or polite complaint. Just say, 'if you would pass along a customer complaint, here is what I'd like it to say: I need more reliable service to work from home; I may have to look for alternatives. I find it very frustrating. Thanks for sending that on for me.'

The human being at the other end of the phone is not your therapist or the object of your frustrations. It's the same with waitstaff. They have their own problems; they aren't their to be kicked when you are frustrated.
I'm going to take a minute to plug WGU I got my undergrad and grad from there and it is fantastic. I would recommend it for anyone that is already working and needs a piece of paper.

They work on a competency based model where you either take a test, or do a project/paper (or both) for the class to pass it. If it takes you 3 weeks to study and pass the test it takes 3 weeks, if it takes 2 days you can pass the class in 2 days. The major benefit though is that you pay a flat price for a semester and then you can do as many credits as you want in that semester for a flat fee, so if you want you can get 24 credits done in one semester.

Additionally this isn't an ITT Tech or DeVrye type scam where they just push you through, a lot of the classes are based around industry certs as the final test for the class, and they give a through grounding in a lot of areas.

The flip side is they are very focused on practical job skills and not so much theory, I personally think it results in a more well rounded engineering student who is able to work in Networking, Software Development or Systems Admin reasonably competently.

Again I am a fun I recommend it, I wish everyone would start doing it because I think it is a game changer. Feel free to AMA if you have more questions about it.
I once did a security review for a site that claimed to only support Chrome. I tried Firefox and used a UA switcher to fake being Chrome, and sure enough, the site didn't work. The page would load, but nothing would interact.

Turns out, their JS minifier was creating code that contained a syntax error. Chrome was able to make it work, but Firefox would silently error out. Rather than try to solve the problem, they blocked any browser that wasn't Chrome.

And in the days before the internet, they likely had a bookshelf full of reference manuals.

True story: when I became a programmer in the 1990s, I used to buy the printed manuals for the Java APIs as they were released. At one of my first interviews (for a Perl job), I was given the Camel Book as reference for the (handwritten) programming test.

In what way? Rhodium is currently trading around 13,977.26 USD an ounce, where a single bitcoin is currently worth 66,787.30. That means bitcoin is almost 480% better if you equate 1 oz to 1 bitcoin.

And just as often they don’t.

Ask HN: What caused the Comcast outage across California last night?
As I understand it, that's exactly the plan. The metaverse will be an open, standards based network of VR environments, each analogous to a web site. Each could be based on different products, in the way that a web site can run on apache or nginx. The key to it will be a public set of standards for avatars, identity management, authentication and persistent assets which is potentially where a blockchain comes in as a public ledger for shared information. Imagine being in Minecraft, then walking your avatar through a portal that takes you into Roblox. Or more likely just hitting a button and being there.

This is exactly what Zuck is working on, plus of course a proprietary VR stack and suite of applications for his own implementation. there are other firms working on pieces of this too though and they are talking to each other. Here's another voice on this, independent of FB/Meta:

I'm a skeptic that it will be as big as they reckon, we're physical beings living in a real world and I think that will always be prime reality. Also mobile isn't going away, I'm still going to have my phone on me all the time, not so much a VR head set, but they do seem to have thought all of this through.
Stargate v1 is a monolith where everything runs within the same JVM which means service to persistence communication is just simple method calls. One of our main goals of Stargate v2 was to break up this monolith which meant that we could no longer communicate with just direct method calls and would instead need to bridge the gap between service and persistence with some other communication mechanism. We explored a few different options such as REST or CQL via drivers but ultimately landed on gRPC for a few reasons:

1. REST could be a viable option and has been used many times when splitting up a monolith but we didn't believe it could give us the performance we would need due to opening and closing connections

2. With REST we would essentially have to define our own schema definition language to describe the transport of messages between service and persistence which would also add the overhead of serializing and deserializing json payloads

3. CQL is a proven transport mechanism but requires the use of a driver which means whatever language used to implement the service must also have a workable driver (flexibility is a driving design principle for v2)

4. The session based nature of drivers would cause issues in a multi-user or multi-tenant environment

5. Although CQL fits most of our use cases it doesn't quite cover everything

So, yes performance was a factor in choosing gRPC but there was also the flexibility it gave us while being able to reuse CQL thus avoiding reinventing the wheel.
There is something to be said for cooking shows as well. Certain activities take time, and they end up editorializing things that they wouldn't think of with just the written word. What order to mix things. Common substitutions. How to avoid pitfalls (use this tool for this step, not this other one) and fix problems.

Example: too much salt in your soup? Add a little potato starch.
People have been making this comparison since the Rift DK2 was released 5 or so years ago and it is still wrong. 3d TV never had broad buy in from enthusiasts, artists, developers or anyone else that VR has consistently maintained support from for half a decade with no sign is a drop off. I work in the arts and the level of enthusiasm and support is increasing if anything.
Thats what your apple ID is for. The problem with ownership on the blockchain is it still depends on a central authority recognition for most useful things. For instance your home title still needs to be recognized by the government. And if thats the case you might as well just have a database derived from the authority.

Now if you wanted to change the whole system to where the government doesnt need authority over home titles anymore in any way (taxation, ownership enforcement, etc), then thats a possibility. Not saying this is a good or bad idea. Phones are harder for me to see this as ever a possibility because its really a partnership where Apple provides ongoing support.

Yes I can see how you can make that leap. Right now Hamilton isn't about scaling computation per se, more so about scaling a code base to handle featurization and people using that code base.

Hamilton wouldn't replace Dask. Instead Hamilton could use Dask, we even have a prototype PR to do so.
That's correct. However, investing in Crypto using dollars will inflate the dollar. Thus, the arguments that the government will probably leave crypto alone, still holds.

"I've been thinking something like sealed interfaces would fit better:"

You can have "sealed interfaces" today; you put an unexportable method name in the interface. Then no legal external implementation can exist. (Not even if someone "guesses" the method name; the compiler will not consider them to have the same name.)

What you still don't get is completeness checking even so. In theory a linter could do it even without compiler support, I don't know if one exists.

You can use this in Go today to get, oh, say, 1/3rd of the feature of 'sum types' today. But you don't get much of the "sum types" bang for that 1/3rd of the buck. Basically, you can use them, and you don't need to do the fully manual type of thing you need to do in C with unions and tags, you can lean on the interfaces carrying type information around to handle that, but you get no additional compiler or syntax support, nor any sort of pattern matching on them.
not to be too cold about the real people hurt by the mischaracterization, but...

My local ferrari dealership basically implies my life will be perfect (all the pretty women will fawn over me!!) if I just buy one of their cars. America made these institutions into for profit companies. We have to stop giving them the goodwill we'd afford to altruistic/idealistic academic institutions.

Yes USC has a "not for profit" label, but just because the label says "water" doesn't mean there isn't gasoline in that bottle -- use some common sense and call a bird a duck by it's quack.
I think I would rather let a dozen cheaters "get away with it" than let even one innocent person have their academic career damaged by a false positive.
We use OpsGenie. not sure how widely it’s used but given its Atlasian I’d guess a non-trivial amount.
Yes, Anime has many different kinds of aesthetics but not what this generates. Perhaps it should be renamed PaintingGAN or CartoonGAN?

I will take the opportunity to call out one of my favourite libraries, BoofCV (http://boofcv.org)

It comes with a wonderful demonstration tool that allows you to apply the various included algorithms to images and tweak the parameters in real-time – including the Hough transform. A great tool for helping to understand how these kinds of algorithms work!

Is there anywhere that details the changes necessary to use for other rating scales (such as the 5-star/10-star system)?
I knew exactly where the author was headed just from the headline, let alone before I saw their first examples, as I've written this same article in my mind a hundred time. I'd go for functional even above beautiful. I walk into so many houses - new, old, whatever - and so few have ever considered that there will be people living in them. Rooms with odd dimensions. Houses facing the wrong direction. Bedrooms where there's no place to actually put a bed. Rooms that can't decide if they are for sleeping, working, lounging, or simply gratuitous square footage. Houses that utterly consume their entire allotment of land, having apparently never read that other great study in architecture, The King of Cauliflower's Castle (Sesame Street books, 1975).
I'm not convinced architects are to blame. Yes, as this article points out when it comes to public buildings and spaces, the architects have lost their minds. When it comes to residences though, I'm inclined to think it's a triumvirate of the lack of architecture, builders playing architect, and a public that is generally devoid of good taste, all under the thumb of the ever rising cost of labor and materials. Cover it up with granite and stainless steel and call it a day.
The ecosystem of publishing also has people who have to exhibit their value to the process or get eliminated. Online publishing removes both technical and social friction for putting half-baked ideas out there. We haven't invented a good way to have one but not the other yet.
Of course. We were slowly pedaling uphill with road bikes and our friend was speeding in front of us. But we had to wait on the way back home because we could do easily 30 km/h on the last 20 km (completely flat) and his engine cut off at 25.
Visas and similar restrictions are not a factor for remote work.

Like many other comments, I don't see much resemblance to anime styles, but dismissing the results as a Photoshop filter is nuts.

The animation style this does look like is that of 2006's A Scanner Darkly, or 2019's Undone.
It does have something to do with geography, but it is imprecise. The same way 'western' is imprecise, because it always includes Australia and New Zealand. And 'first world' is imprecise, because of it has roots in the cold war, thus should not include countries like Switzerland.

So if all of the men being discussed had a hat with a propellor on it, we should be careful to avoid saying so, because there are also innocent unrelated men who wear propellor beanies?

If a disproportionate ratio of those men are all from the same relatively small demographic in a relatively remote location, it should not be off-limits to notice that.
That's what I said, it's so limited compared to Java that saying SIM cards run "a thing like Java" is massively overstating it. It doesn't even have floats.

It's a UICC not a SIM card anyway.
I really wish there was a command to `un-sugar` a script - especially intelligently built into editors.

That way - if you're new to a language and don't want to deal with all the cognitive overhead of syntactic sugar (or if you just find some particular feature really complicated) - you could "un-see" it.

I mean I agree with you in that I kind of hate cars and wish I could use bike paths and public transit to get everywhere, but quite a substantial portion of the world has either no sidewalks where they live, or sidewalks like NYC or Tokyo that are so busy they are impossible to bike on.
This is the university that started it all. They've had the program for about a decade now, and they do a ridiculously good job. [1]

It's a rigorous degree, they only admit a limited number of students (so your application has to be reasonable), and it's completely affordable. It's also indistinguishable from their on-campus MS in CS. It doesn't say you took it "online" after you graduate. Georgia Tech is a pretty outstanding school, so this looks good for places that care.

If you want an MS in CS and want to do it from home, this is the one you want.

[1] Anecdotal, but I know five colleagues that have taken it and have nothing but praise for the program. The two I am closest to used for the following cases:

1. A CS grad working in the field used it to explore machine learning a decade after college. They had no previous experience with the field and then shifted into a deep learning role shortly before graduation.

2. Another close friend was a graduate working in radio research and wanted to learn CS fundamentals (OS, distributed, etc.). They're still doing radio work, but they used it to get an expanded role and a pretty substantial raise.

Both were very happy with the program. Both completed the program while working full time, though they admitted it was a ton of work.
"..it says a lot about CSUs that you can go there, borrow two thirds less, and still make more money than a USC grad."

For the same degree?
That's largely tangential from the issues with the UCSB dorm and there were complaints well before the COVID lockdowns so we shouldn't get mired in the unrelated morass of the pandemic response.
This is an incredibly useful hack. I love it! Thanks so kindly for sharing.
To be fair, the UK went metric many decades ago yet we still use MPH on the roads; and most people would struggle to tell you how tall they are or how much they weigh using only metric measurements.
Where are you that's designed for people less than 5 feet tall? Generally it's the older buildings that tend to have higher ceilings - until very recently, most post-war buildings were built with 8-foot ceilings or even shorter.
It's mostly bad because it'd be you cheating yourself I guess.

For me personally, I just can't memorize stuff on demand like exams expect people to. My brain refuses to do that, period. But when I do use some information often and many times, I somehow end up memorizing it eventually. APIs, phone numbers, addresses and routes, even people's faces.
It lacks imagination to think we've already discovered all the different ways to create shared spaces and inhabit them with today's internet and available media. I've no doubt there will one day be an iPhone moment for VR or AR, and therefore for 3D interfaces. But I don't believe it's this decade, however much money VCs throw at it. The 3D worlds bit of the metaverse just seems incredibly tedious to me, however flashy the demos. It all detracts from what could be genuinely interesting conversations about if and how we _actually_ want to weave the internet more tightly into our lives.
i'm not seeing where i can configure gcc to use pascal calling conventions. looking at https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Function-Attributes.h...

And yes, with common Pascal compilers i can write specific functions in a way to provide a C calling interface (called STDCALL) so those functions can be called from C. But for reaching arbitrary Pascal functions I need my own assembly code which passes parameters in the right order and manages the stack "correctly" (in C the caller clears the stack, in Pascal the calleé)
