And how are you going to use that to buy groceries or pay rent?

The big American chain supermarket near my home has a crypto ATM at the front, next to the shopping buggies. So I guess you could get cash that way and buy groceries.

Rent? Good luck. Every building has its own methods, customs, and policies, even within a single company; and I've never seen one that takes crypto for rent.
I work for a very large Germany-based multinational, and <ourname>.onmicrosoft.com was registered by a school our founding family started in an Eastern European country where we have a factory.

We gave up and established <verygenericword>.onmicrosoft.com, and that is still our tenant. However, we were able to get <ourname>.com validated as our main domain. Very eventually, and only because said school cooperated, we got control over <ourname>.onmicrosoft.com.

You have a good point. As hard as it is to admit, ‘overbearing insane seeming overreaction’ is a useful and rational reputation to have in certain circumstances.

It definitely cuts down on the number of sane people being willing to be seen doing whatever it is that typically causes that response.
It’s perhaps to address lower scores amongst legacy and athlete students who are accepted? It can’t be controversial if the comparison metric is removed.

I’m guessing it also helps eliminate the “blue collar asian” applicants more easily. It removes one of their shining accomplishments.

From a 2018 article from politico:

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/10/21/harvard-a...

“But the data collected by the Education Department contained some explosive information. It showed the athletes and so-called legacies who were actually accepted had lower SAT scores than the rest of the class and were also deemed less attractive candidates by the admissions officers conducting Harvard’s process.

Some of the comments those officers wrote on the application folders of admitted legacies strongly suggested something more than a tiebreaker was at work. “Lineage is main thing,” one reader wrote. “Double lineage, but lots of problems … no balance,” the notes on another successful application said. “Lots of lineage here … Hard to explain a NO,” yet another said. “Classical case that would be hard to explain to DAD.”

In 1988, I started working for a company whose software was written in dBase II and Foxbase. That was pretty cutting edge at the time. But, although they had run coax cable for an Arcnet Novell network, none of the workstations (8086 and 80286 running MSDOS) had network cards yet. So they were carrying a large (full size/height) 80MB ESDI drive from machine to machine on a padded tray and plugging it into external ESDI ports on the workstations to copy customer data to from it.

Public universities make their tuition money on the out-of-state and foreign students, so your denominator here is an order of magnitude too big. Every marginal out-of-state or foreign student lost, is one or more in-state students whose tuition cannot be subsidized.
I think it could be argued that the flaws in IPv6 are significant enough to result in an scenario where IPv4 is never actually retired and therefore IPv6 is never fully adopted.

Its been decades, but still IPv6 is deployed (at best) as a parallel network that effectively doubles management/maintenance overhead. And at worst sites just add an IPv6 reverse proxy.
Mobile is leading the IPv6 transition, for exactly the reasons you think it is. It just happened bit later than what you expected. I'm pretty sure that vast majority of 5G deployments support IPv6.
xlock = locks your desktop with a screensaver (or not).

& = puts xlock in the background so the shell can continue parsing commands without waiting for xlock to finish.

loginctl = sends the command on the right to the login manager.

suspend = self-explanatory.

Thus, upon waking up from suspend, your machine is still locked up by xlock. Simple.
There aren't enough to be statistically significant, which is why they are being reported in the media.

Hi, I'm the current lead maintainer of Chai.

We don't own the domain name, the previous maintainer/author does. It seems to have lapsed. There's not much I can do about that other than attempt to contact the previous maintainer, which I've done.
I don't know; I just read what's written on their home page:

Evervault Cages
Process the data you encrypt with Relay or our SDK by deploying your code in Cages — isolated serverless functions hosted on Evervault.

Cages automatically decrypt your data in an isolated environment, so you can still process data without handling it in plaintext.

perhaps I misunderstood what that feature is; if that's true I suspect it's not entirely my fault, but there is something misleading in the product description.
Nobody is going to show up at your home for saying so. Many US citizens will agree with you.

A country which improves its behavior through self-criticism from its citizens is not a tyranny. It is just a government that makes serious mistakes.

No form of government has managed to avoid that yet.

Democracy and freedom don't guarantee the majority will behave well all the time. But they systematically leave the door open for improvement - even if it takes a lot of effort.
> But freedom doesn’t mean anarchy. If you want to nit pick individual restrictions on non-speech activities in public spaces then you can find something to complain about every country.

Anarchism is based on freely agreed rules and organization. It denies rulers, not rules. I find this to be a necessary condition for freedom. So yes, one can find something to complain about pretty much every country if arguing from freedom. The status quo is not a good excuse for lack of freedom, that's just circular reasoning.

I urge everyone not to fall into the trap of the "Us vs Them" rhetoric that almost always leads to more oppression and violence. Trying to quantify freedom is moot. The enemy of freedom is corruption, fear and hate.

If you took all the Web3 hype and aspirations for technical specifications of what is possible today, you have mistook the schematics for the build. Its very early, and if you want to do what you ask you will have to do more work, just like you would in 1995.

The Emberverse series by SM Sterling. The laws of physics change such that technology no longer works and is no longer capable of working. Ex: water couldn't boil enough to power a steam engine.

I sometimes feel like I'm trying to squeeze "real work" in between meetings and other interruptions. It's almost absurd.
I understand the negative reaction, but I'm not sure I agree with the following:

>Dear original post author, you really need to start doing something that you enjoy or that motivates you. You can also try to structure your life in a way that allows you to not work when you don't feel like you can or will be efficient.

May I ask why? The OP doesn't suggest anywhere they are unhappy. Presumably, they have a very good work-life balance, seemingly leaning toward the 'life' side of the equation. They presumably have a lot of time to themselves, to enjoy as they see fit. Furthermore, they say that their performance reviews range from good, to great. So if all the above is true, both parties seem to be happy with the arrangement.

I am in a similar position, and I think it boils down to not relying on my work for personal satisfaction or happiness. I work to live, not live to work. I provide a good service to my employer, and I believe my value is in my overall output, not overall input. When I am needed, I work hard enough to achieve the end goal. Otherwise, I work enough to satisfy my employer, regardless of how long that takes. My relationship with my employer is transactional, and I see no moral obligation to work beyond what is absolutely necessary - providing I do enough to satisfy my employer.

I do however understand the mindset of someone who is motivated and driven by work and their career. If that's what floats your boat, more power to you. That's not everyone though, and as long as the person is still providing enough value to someone that their salary is still a worthwhile investment - hey ho!

My first job was as an operator for a UK bank.

The work was:

* Putting paper on printers
* Taking paper off printers
* Decollating the paper that came off printers
* Putting tapes into tape drives
* Taking tapes out of tape drives

The slacking was

* Going to the pub before it closed on night shift
* Having sword fights with the plastic swords we used to cut paper
* Finding an unlocked office and using the phone to call party lines

The work highlights were:

* Going to a vault and back flanked by security guards to get the Queen's tape
* Printing bank statements of the rich and famous (I've seen Mick Jagger's bank account)

You can legally dual license if you have ownership over all the code in question. This is common for open source industrial software; pay for a different license so you can embed it in a closed source project. The GPL doesn’t restrict you from offering the same code with a different license if you own it.

Often the issue is that some projects don’t require contributors to sign over copyright ownership as part of contributing. So you have a project that’s licensed uniformly, but each contributor still owns their individual contribution. Unwinding this after the fact can be a nightmare, as it involves either finding every contributor and asking them to sign over their code, or manually removing every bit of code you don’t own as a project.

This is why a lot of bigger projects require you sign a contributors agreement that assigns copyright before you can contribute to the main repo. Doing this in advance saves the project a lot of headaches down the road if dual licensing is deemed useful. This is true even if you want to license under two different open source licenses, as only the copyright holder can change the license.

> What is a use case where strong static typing is a major advantage

Writing correct code with fewer bugs.

Catching bugs earlier.

Not having to write unit tests for things the compiler can figure out for you, leaving you free to write the actual meaningful tests.

Making code self-documenting with types, leading to less puzzlement.

... just to name a few.
Malcolm Gladwell has a great series of podcasts in Revisionist History on elite colleges and admissions that made a lot of this stuff click. Elite colleges want to be a desired place for the high class to attend.

As a result of this, they have to keep a consistent ratio of high class students (with some baseline/distribution of ability) to talented students to miscellaneous students. Too many high class students, and they lose their academic prestige only to be an expensive private school. Too many talented students, then very few high class students can attend and the higher class will focus on other schools. If it's mainly other students, then it won't be a notable school.

Viewing elite college admissions from this level makes a lot of their actions more sensible. People are now able to game their old system so they have to adjust things to keep the ratio intact. I imagine at the graduate level, things are lot more performance/talent based and less political (excluding maybe MBAs or Law School).

I believe parent is not talking about the security implications of the contributions themselves, but the security implications of the act of making contributions as an Apple employee. And it’s a reasonable assumption; from my (not many) interactions with Apple employees in OSS world, they are generally very careful about doing this sort of things, and I would be very very surprised if not at least a few managers know about this beforehand.
Title VII applies to employers, not students.

They are heavily rewarded since rats are very food-oriented and are foragers, and the lab setup uses this trait to reinforce behaviors by feeding them treats.

They find 'enjoyment' in the video game in the same way they find 'enjoyment' finding food in the wild. It's not like a human's enjoyment of Doom, but they're not not (double-negative) enjoying it.
Android did not do anything to Apple. Being copied means you're correct.

What Android did is kill off all proprietary OSs so it that was "soul crushing" it must have been at Samsung's software team, Microsoft, etc.
Unfamiliar cities could certainly be more challenging to drive around prior to GPS, you got lost more often, and yes you often needed to have a paper map. It took me a while before I really developed a decent mental map for driving around the Boston area. But I find people seemingly arguing that travel to unfamiliar places was this daunting task absent GPS availability rather amusing.

For photos I shot B&W (which I printed selectively) and then slides. But most people just took their roll of print film to the pharmacy or whatever and got a stack of 3 1/2" x 5" color prints back.

Oh no, Americans would have more spots at an America university. Or students from another nation could take the opportunity. I don't see why we have to specifically import Chinese nationals for those 200 seats when there are plenty of qualified candidates both domestically and abroad.

I think that is a weak argument and difficult or impossible to prove.

The better argument is against utilitarianism itself. Humans deserve some rights even if it means less utility.
It’s not only manufacturing though. And we don’t have to export to the world. We just need to support our own manufacturing and our own service workers.

My school janitors used to be able to send their kids to college and afford a humble house. Retail store clerks (Married with Children). All that is now cheap labor --you can't expect to pay a mortgage and send kids to college/uni. You may be able to afford the cheap apartment and beer --you'll probably end up with some addiction, i nthat situation.

These days that janitor is farmed out to some company that hires either cheap foreign labor or sometimes illegal labor. We see this in chicken processing plants too. And people wonder why the middle class is hollowed out. And why black and white working poor are sick and tired or corporate antics.
Thanks. ><

The only thing even more satisfying then defrag was to optimize your drive interleaving. I have fond memories of using SpinRite II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpinRite) to optimize the interleaving on my overRLLd ST225s and ST251s on a Perstore controller! To think 30MBs was such a huge amount of storage.
You also have to be aware of the language barrier/lack of voices from within China who can give you context of what is happening. News that you hear about China are mostly written by western media who has little to no clue about what actually happened (remember the Bloomberg report on the spy chip?). I would exercise caution when reading anything online, especially at this very low SNR climate.

Key to peace and tolerance is understanding, unfortunately China is like a blackbox to most, and people tend to get angry at things they don’t understand.

There is substantial evidence that Washington was involved in amplifying misinformation and possibly directing student leaders to escalate the violence. Take student leader Chai Ling, for example [1]. She is on record advocating for bloodshed, yet apparently did not take part in the deadly rioting. Instead, she landed at Princeton and Harvard.

The sad truth is that most Americans have no interest in understanding what really happened that week, beyond reinforcing our ideological biases. We accept propagandistic claims of "organized massacre" when "chaotic, deadly riot" is far more accurate. There are pictures of charred government soldier corpses, burned alive in their vehicles. That simply does not happen in a one-sided massacre. Meanwhile, there is a suspicious lack of any photographic evidence of organized executions and other characteristics of a massacre.

Universities compete for the out-of-state and foreign students that pay their bills, they are not trivially replaceable. And if you exclude Chinese students from the replacement pool, it's even smaller.
What I need for a metaprogramming tool is a code generator that uses CodeQL as input, then allows me to specify very terse AST manipulation/transformation functions, then generate my output code for me.

The one real flaw about CodeQL imo is that they don’t let me generate code..

Like suppose I found a very nice library whose only fatal flaw was that it only wrote its output to files as opposed to general buffers/streams. And I had another library that was godawful but it had a very nice, modular, network streaming routine.

I want this:

from nice_library, awful_library
select
concat(nice_library_routine_upto_filwriting_entrypoint, awful_library_routine_networkIO_entrypoint)

It’s likely gonna need more information to make it possible but this is the sketch of my intent

In fact a gui like Scratch may be just the type of graphical user interface that would make this nice.. think colorful affordances that prevent you from writing a buggy codeql query and iterating pointlessly when everything could be visually typechecked. You could even call it Frankenstein :)

Would that become closer to reality with this?
