Uhh... I think you may be misunderstanding me?

I'm not saying that a messianic revolutionary by the name of Jesus never existed. I'm saying that the writings about him were not written with historical accuracy in mind (that was not their purpose). There will be bits of historical accuracy contained within due to proximity to the actual events, but largely the real person Jesus has been lost to the fictional person Jesus (but oh how cool it would have been to interview him right before his execution!)

Since most of the original sources used to build the gospels are gone, it's difficult to say what is what, or what the motivations of the original sources were. But one cannot take the corroboration of texts written 30-40 years apart as an indication of accuracy. When similar liberties are taken about the JFK assassination, we certainly cry foul!

The transmission mechanism between industry and home prices is employment. The people praying for an exodus of tech workers should also be prepared for the impact it would have on the public purse.
Right, this rings a bell from an ancient civilizations class that I took decades ago. I wish that I remembered more from that class, but it's been so long. I guess it's time to crack open the text books that I kept.
Awesome!

Do you have any recommendations for good articles about Prolog? I really like the idea. I'm particularly interested in solving assignment problems using constraint logic programming.

SQL injection is avoided at the point of usage. Trying to sanitize your input against it is an extremely bad practice. The same is true about HMTL injection (whether you call it XSS or something else).

Log4j is an example of not interpreting text that the developer was never aware that was code. It's kinda of the extreme opposite of escaping your text on usage.
It is indeed interesting. Most major universities look to maximize adjunct faculty and honestly new professors make much less than you think.

My point is I don’t think the money is going to university teaching staff at least…
what i actually meant to say was that multitenancy makes networking complex. (and nearly any network is multi-tenant once it reaches a certain scale).

Also, depending on the services which run on the network, more complex technology like MPLS/VXLAN-EVPN is needed.

> As far as a springboard for a career, I haven’t seen colleges come close to worth the price of admission.

This right here.

The strongest argument against the status quo is that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

In aggregate college graduates could achieve equal or greater levels of learning, relative to their chosen profession, and cost, with education regimes other than the typical four year state college experience.
Under Roman law, the paterfamilias (i.e., the eldest adult male of the extended family) had the right to kill any other family member, at his pleasure. He could also control who (or even if) they married, sell them into slavery, etc.
Death rates go hand in hand with income, obesity rate, age, and general health pre-covid among many other things. You absolutely can’t simply compare death rates from one state to the next that easily without controlling for variables such as age (many times more deadly for the elderly), wealth (multiple times more deadly for the poorest vs. the richest), obesity rate, weather etc etc. This is why several countries have far lower or higher deaths than other countries with very similar strategies.
I can’t stand this sarcastic and condescending tone. When someone talks to me like that, my instinct is to ignore whatever they have to say.
The fact that you are forced to take out private loans isn't evidence that the vast majority of students are.

College tuitions and housing prices vary wildly, many students live with family, many students have merit based scholarships. Many states have copied Georgia and have lottery funded scholarships that covers the majority of in state tuition for students with a B average in high school.

>Or, more likely, the stats are collected poorly as they typically are.

The stats are widely available along with the data collection methodology. If you want to stick with your confirmation bias that's fine I suppose.
Instead of outsourcing, even relatively small businesses are now opening international branch offices with full time local employees, tapping the pool of talented engineers who would prefer not to emigrate. The grandparent poster is correct: if there's real savings to be had, eventually someone will find a way to get to it.
Oh, yeah, that’s why I said usually. It’s just that when you remove the usual constraints on what people can do, how much damage they can handle (“plot armor”), and set the precedent that almost anything can be changed retroactively as desired for the next movie, the writers have a lot less to keep the audience’s interest with.
I believe that is the difference they are highlighting. Another way to look at it is, humans generally have some broad-picture idea of where they'd like a conversation to go (anticipating many steps ahead, but more vaguely the farther out you go). It seems like a big difference -- often the end gives the intermediary steps much more meaning.
This is realistic only in your 20s-early 30s. Once you start a family, relocation is hard, more of a chore than a perk.
Welfare payments supplemented wages by about 8% in 1960.

That figure has risen to about 36% today, a 3.5x increase.

Public schools average about $10k per year for in-state students. That's a far cry from the $25k-$50k per year people tend to quote when arguing against the cost of college. How important that difference is depends on which state a student lives in. In California there are literally dozens of options including several prestigious ones, whereas many states only have a couple of middling schools to choose from, and out-of-state public tuition averages around $25k/year.
What are you referring to? The SQL injection example is showing what not to do.

BreakingFormation: AWS CloudFormation Vulnerability
From painful experience this is true, especially the parts Rachit wrote to personally call me out.
Armies of administrators, shiny new amenities to attract more students (competing on quality of education is too difficult / more expensive). There's probably some good that it goes towards too, but its hard not to be cynical about it.
Overall I'd say the whole point of the interview process at senior level and beyond is to make as sure as possible that you are productive immediately. They give you tasks you can do without thorough knowledge of their process. And these days, lots of one-to-one meetings to hold your hand some and keep your productive.

If you don't get a raise in the first year, it's often more about pedantry regarding the HR rules, which tend to be "optimized" by penny-pinching adjustments over the years to take advantage of employees every way they can (this is their job, squeezing money out of people any way they can). E.g. you weren't there for the last round of evaluations so you don't get a raise. Possibly no bonus too. You need to discuss all this stuff when negotiating, they'll be trying to help you work the system at that point, rather than using it against you.
It's the second one.
The point is rather that _you're probably not getting one of those_ unless you're FAANG. But you're paying them like they are. Anecdotes are not data, but I've personally seen and worked for several mid-size tech companies open SF/Bay offices, plow a ton of cash into them for decidedly mediocre results that they could have gotten for 1/10th of the cost almost anywhere else and then sheepishly/quietly "phase them out".
In the last couple days I had 3 fully vaccinated people (including 2 already boosted) tell me they have or just had covid.

I have a friend who works for a Rugby team where they're all vaccinated. They've had 6 or 7 athletes with covid in the last week or 2.

The football team I root for has everybody in the team and the staff fully vaccinated. The pre-season has just started with 5 players off with covid.
In my opinion, it is not. I am vaccinated and I used this site to make sure my batch wasn't 'bad' before getting the injection.

Regardless of how you feel about vaccines, 95% of the bad reactions are linked to 5% of the batches. I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but on the surface at least that seems to suggest a manufacturing or quality control issue that may have been missed.

Actually taking a closer look it was a different URL I used, but the same software to make sure I was making the safest most informed decision I was able to. I think the author posted the code somewhere too and open sourced it (I don't have a link as I'm not affiliated, just happy someone built this).

So from my perspective this is an interesting data analysis project, an interesting observation on manufacturing processes, and enables people to more confidently get the jab if they are hesitant due to the known possibility of side effects that this can help mitigate.

Normally I lurk here but today I built an account to make this point, as I don't like to see the chilling effect that labeling anything that isn't all roses as antivax propaganda.
That's 100% what people are missing.

I lived in NYC till 2021. It's a global city, unlike SF, where COVID hit early and hard. It's a highly concentrated city as well, that few other places can rival. It's not a car town, that forces people closer.

Because they're in large part neither functional nor artistic. Both force one to think in novel ways. The certification-for-its-own-sake majors do not.

False. Is supply and demand and income inequality. Ever since the global internet companies became ludicrously rich, more and more engineers with outsized wallets have squeezed everyone else out. It’s always been expensive and there has always been NIMBYs but it’s been crazy since 2010.

It takes one or two houses to change the comps in a neighborhood. I sold my house last year. Two married Google engineers came in $250k above everyone else, which was already $500k above list. We found another all-cash offer that was willing to go 50k above the Google engineers so we sold for $800k above list.

Ever since then the house prices in that neighborhood are 300k above those prices. So the price in the neighborhood jumped $1M last year.

Saying it’s nimbyism is stupid. It’s capitalism.

Yes, I know that. The point is that the behavior seen by the user for similar operations is entirely different between lists and other pieces of Common Lisp.

Yes, obviously. The point is that Common Lisp does an absolutely crap job of making these things actually consistent from the point of view of the user. The language is littered with entirely inconsistent behavior and choices.
Towards High-performance Organic Optoelectronics with Better Crystallinity
Discovered this extension a few months ago from another HN thread. It's great, the annoyance levels caused by 'Youtube face' was getting to be intolerable. I was making judgements on videos before even watching them, because of the thumbnail.
They are an easy target, but I would argue justifiably so. My ( supposedly non-profit mind you ) university had a president, who paid himself a salary in line with regional bank's president; he was kicked out. Current one is paid less but still high 6 figures. And this is not some prestigious university, where you could reasonably argue he really, really deserves it, because he is running it so well.

I don't know a full answer, but I believe we can start with administrators and work our way through the system. Something has got to give. This system cannot stay as it currently exists.

But you're not speaking to an intellect. That's just anthropomorphising a neural network, which is anything but intelligent.

You're writing strings that a prediction generator uses as input to generate a continuation string based on lots of text written by humans. Yes, it looks like there was some magical "AI" that communicates, but that is not what is happening.
College cost less than a brand new car, yet does not lose a third of its value when you drive it off the lot, but rather gains value due to the wage premium and better job prospects overall. There is no crisis of car affordability yet people talk about college being unaffordable even though student loans are cheaper and have much better terms than car loans. Same for credit card debt. Also the price actually paid on tuition , especially after accounting for generous aid and other programs, is much less than the sticker price.
The answer I get from my friends in the higher ed business are that the costs are covering decreased investment by state level government in colleges and universities.

On one hand, I am not sure I agree. My son is going to the same state university I went to, and it's substantial more expensive, but they 've also built a ton of infrastructure that I find questionable.

On the other hand, I don't really have data and when I look for it I find articles like https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/state-hig... :

"Deep state cuts in funding for higher education over the last decade have contributed to rapid, significant tuition increases and pushed more of the costs of college to students, making it harder for them to enroll and graduate."
Two different advises for two different things. That one is about data validation, making sure it is coherent and fits your data quality rules. This one is about data encoding, making sure it fits a different system's rules.
Knowledge and education should be free of cost and barriers. Any society that thinks otherwise, will not be able to sustain and expand knowledge in the long run.
Well, your house's value went up 30% the past two years, so you can now take out a larger loan against it...

That's really the most annoying thing. Even people who make good videos do this shit. I just can't say how much I hate(and I don't use that word often) seeing angry, sad, or surprised faces.

If the solution that the blockchain offers is "oh, all your data is irreversibly public forever", then that's not a solution to the problem as commonly understood. For example, wikipedia describes the European GDPR like this: "The GDPR's primary aim is to enhance individuals' control and rights over their personal data" (emphasis mine).

If the GDPR (which regulates stuff around controlling who can even hold and retain data) is generally considered an attempt to enhance personal control over data, it seems to be using a totally different definition of control than one where it means "it's irreversibly public forever." A lot of blockchain projects seem to sell "control over data" when they mean the latter but allow people to believe it's the former.
> Colleges assumed the trend of charging $25k to $50k per year would be sustainable.

Barely anyone pays full tuition.

Look up the statistics for any of the big colleges that share numbers. It’s usually less than 10% of students paying full tuition. Significant numbers of students pay under $10K and many pay basically nothing at all.

It’s still too expensive, but the myth that everybody is paying $50K/year at these colleges needs to die. It ends up convincing a lot of people who shouldn’t be paying that much that everyone else is doing it and therefore they should too.
This is actually the fundamental concept behind time travel debugging; recording sufficient information to reconstruct past states of your system.

The primary difference is that time travel debugging solutions are more fully integrated because they will automatically insert exactly the necessary logging and they are integrated with interactive debugger state visualization tools so you do not need to do the state reconstruction manually/mentally, you can have the machine do it for you.

Not as much if you're in the EU, I guess. But, yeah, it's not the best feeling as an American.
My kids are going to college in an EU country where their BA degrees take three years, but each class is related to their major. In the US, our inane curriculum wastes two years retaking general ed classes that they should have learned in HS.

Borrowing to pay tuition to take general ED classes is dumb, and yet, this is the path that is pushed on our best and brightest.

At the least, kids should gen ed in Community College.
At the best, we should reform or horrible curriculum.
Sorry, added 2 more facts to the original post.

That implies it's not statistically inexistent like you said.
An interest rate on something that is entirely uncollateralized and granted to someone with no income and often no credit history nor assets is usurious at a rate of around 2x that of an owner-occupied house with 20% down, an income of >3x the monthly payments, and a 740+ credit score? That is quite far from obvious to me.
No one reads the ToS. US lawmakers want to fix that with a new 'TLDR' bill
If you're sending a lot of messages through one of those, you can expect to be blocked pretty quickly unfortunately.
A lot of it is going to the administrative staff. They have massive departments, many buildings, and many unnecessary staff members with high salaries. Meanwhile, a lot of the teaching faculty is making a pittance.
Nah, I don't think so.

Google is a subcontractor. The owner of the website is using a service to track browser behaviour, and, perhaps erroneously, user identities. The service is famous, but not unique.

What the subcontractor does with the data is the responsibility of the website owner -- if they allow Google to abuse the data owner (that is, misuse the PII of people visiting the website), then the website owner should be held responsible.
If you're doing both, I'd ask you what you think you're accomplishing by sanitizing input, especially when you're already escaping output.

All you're doing is corrupting the data with a ritual that seems like it's securing something, and it tends to make you think that your data is now ready to be rendered anywhere without issue.
> given that folks calculate cost based on recurring payments

That’s very true for mortgages, but in my experience this isn’t how student loans work. Nobody I knew before college had any idea what their loans would cost on a monthly basis once they went into repayment, and I don’t think it was disclosed to me (or I forgot).

Also unlike my mortgage, my loans have trivially changed repayment plans. I changed some of them several times based on my economic circumstances without refinancing, which makes nailing down a single payment kind of hard, even if the interest rate hasn’t changed.
The feedback is totally fair. What we do is conduct live "learning sessions" with experts in aspects of our implementation that go through tutorials on specific technical aspects of the platforms. These learning sessions are recorded and referenced next to the text based documentation that complements inline comments in the code. They are not a replacement for the text based documentation. Think of them as equivalent to various YouTube videos you might reference when learning how to do something. You might read the particulars in a piece of documentation but then also watch a walk-through of a specific piece of technology if you find that helpful.
Keep in mind that prior to 2010, MySQL and InnoDB were owned by different companies. Unilaterally deciding to increase the InnoDB index size limitation to permit utf8mb4 varchar(255) was not physically possible for the MySQL team prior to that point.

Anyway, I fully agree that the utf8 alias swap should have been done in MySQL 5.7, or perhaps even 5.6. I'm just disagreeing with your assertions that this would have been a trivial change.

Nor do I think it should have been a "stop the world" high-priority change prior to emoji existing in unicode (~late 2010). Non-BMP characters were very rare before that point. Hard to justify a business need for a complex migration just to store archaic hieroglyphs. For another point of comparison, MS SQL Server only added support for non-BMP characters in 2012, and only added support for utf8 encoding in 2019!
