I took Calc 2 at my university and borrowed my roommate's book that he bought the year before. It was useless because it was the "preliminary edition". It was virtually the same book except all the exercises were in customary US units instead of metric. Can you imagine, publishing a math textbook in 1995 in customary units? All of my high school books had been metric and were a decade old. There could only be one reason to do so -- to require the next group of students to buy the new book.
D still has imports. Even if you want to use something 'common' like writefln you need to drop import std.stdio; somewhere. Luckily D allows to put imports inline so it's not that bad.

If availability is your goal, then yes, a CDN is a good idea.

My setup is optimized more towards self-hosting and just doing it as a hobby. The web is centralized enough already, I will do my best to balance that out.
I fixed my twitter feed by unfollowing anyone the first time something they did resulted in me being upset. Even if it was a like. It's just not worth it. For about a year or two my feed was great.

Then the topics started coming in. First it was infosec and cybersecurity and they were fine for a bit so I tolerated it. But then it turned into just a bunch of hot women saying basically nothing. If before it was some random person talking about finding a bug in X with a fuzzer, next it was someone talking about completely non-technical things like graduating from a university and starting a career in cybersecurity. Later it of course turned into culture war nonsense. So I unsubscribed. I could reasonably see this being a foreign influence campaign it was such an obvious slide from sometimes useful to total nonsense.

Then Twitter started flooding my account with topics and "based on your interests" and of course the feed turned to garbage again and I had to manually unsubscribe from all of them.

Twitter. Please. I'm begging you. I follow arms control people, software people, and government accounts. I've got this figured out. Please leave me alone I was happy.

Edit:

I forgot about the inability to turn of "[Somebody you follow] follows" tweets. Can I disable these? Doesn't appear like I can.
This is the way.

I don't use it for home services (I don't have any), but use it in production for a couple of businesses for a decade.

Another advantage of this solution is what you can have ANY Internet connection, even 3G/4G/99G (and switch between your connections), your clients would still have the same IP to connect.

With a proper provider and configuration you can even host MS Exchange there.
Windows CE was really interesting, but irritating to use.

The Start Menu on such a small screen was a very weird thing. It was clear that Microsoft was uncomfortable with anything that pointed away from their mainline desktop experience, they were always trying to reassure you that this computer in your pocket was a Real Windows™ Device.

But the cleaned-up API, and the Execute In Place, and exFAT were all to the good side, slimming down to fit mobile hardware. And their communications stack was far superior to PalmOS at the time.

I loved my Palm Pilot IIIx, though. Loved the Macintosh-like API. Dead simple to make the switch to that platform if you'd written a couple of Classic Mac apps.

The restriction is done trough throttling in speed.
It only looks like you have unlimited space but lets say you would actually want to upload a TB of stuff it would take very very long unless you use multiple accounts and then if you ever would need to download it it would again take very very long.

It also seems like files that are not downloaded by many people for a while get moved to slow servers and downloading these is really really really slow.
If you have a few GB and want an additional online backup sure you could abuse it for that but realistically the potential to abuse it is low as it simply makes no sense as a could storage + they simply delete accounts from people who abuse the network. "Spam" is very lose defined and if you spam upload/download I'm sure they consider that to be spam and delete your account. Kinda pointless "backup" if you can lose access the moment you use the backup.

>And they have basically no income.

How would you know? They launched ads in public channels.

TON exists and seems functional just doesn't have anything to do with Telegram anymore due to the SEC.
I see many commenters suggesting that the distinction is a subtle one of ability and scope. This is interesting to observe and definitely not what I had anticipated in the responses.

In my experience the titles are interchangeable in practice. I can see how one might make a spirited argument that there should be a meaningful difference and how that could be useful in hiring.

Taking a look at Google Trends for both terms it is interesting note seeming regional preferences: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=software...
> I had assumed Android and PC had adopted the randomized MACs apple uses to prevent such tracking?

True, and this is why I rarely switch it off, except in situations where I don't want to be visible to devices that I previously connected to. Same for wifi.

I just find it quite over the top to work around user-controlled communication channels like bluetooth that the user might have chosen to disable, by using a medium (sound) that the user cannot switch off and still use the app.
Yeah. Basically I'd just give it the normal caveats, you're on a Western forum and there is an implicit assumption that you're in the "golden billion" and that you're reasonably physically and mentally healthy.

Beyond that, if you couldn't find a way, then it's just not your priority, ya know?

Russian blokes from mining towns can afford to travel third class on the Trans Siberian, what's your excuse?

And I'm sure we'd have fun too!
I think your comment is valid. I have thought about this too, and I think the reasoning is as follows. Teaching kids to code empowers them to think differently about the world. Rather than navigating this technological this world as an end user, coding gives them a glance into the behind the scenes stuff and thus allows them to contribute to the evolution of this world.

But your right. IMHO Nothing beats a hike in the woods, or better yet learning to build something from raw materials found in the woods (which in turn could have the same effect).
That sounds like you would be able to exploit the bug... does it happen to use a libc that implements %n?

If so, just include a payload in the title that fixes the bug by patching the code :)

I thought this was interesting as 59 megajoules of energy or 11 megawatts of power seems more than you would need to boil 60 kettles' of water. In fact, it takes 4,184 joules to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1 degree. Or 313800 joules to raise 1kg of water by 75 degrees. That means JET could have boiled about 188 kg of water.

I refreshed my understanding of OAuth 2.0 and sure, its typical flows which are meant for convenience do not offer the level of privacy protection as you mention. But if we replace that convenience with some effort from the user, we can get the privacy protection as well.

The flow can be as follows:

The user authenticates itself via government's site and is presented with a page which lets them create government-signed messages using claims provided by the government.

The concerned site can generate a random string during their registration/verification process which they expect to be part of the signed message that the user is to provide them.

The user enters that random string on government's site and checks/selects the age claim for it to be included in the signed message. The government adds timestamp to it and a key id based on the private key which it used to sign the message.

The user posts the signed message on the concerned site during the registration/verification process. The site uses the government's well-known address to fetch the public key associated with the key id (mentioned in the signed message). It then uses the public key to verify the signed message alongside checking the timestamp for recency and presence of the exact random string in the signed message. Ultimately checking the age claim.

So now, instead of providing credit card details, the signed message was provided by the user which the concerned site can validate on its own without the government knowing.

Telegram desktop app is awesome. For me it is a great example of a native app. J ahd zero troubles with it. It is fast, it doesn't consume a lot of RAM and no Electron is bundled. I am glad to see someone is still developing native apps.
Ah! Yes. Trying to fish out “intention” from a random username.
If you really wish to know my intention behind choosing that username, here you go - DestroyADHD as in destroy the symptoms and negative effects of ADHD in my life.

Anywho, didn’t expect HN to be this hostile and over-analyzing a genuine concern. So, I won’t waste my time trying to reason with anyone further.
We don’t need to guess. It’s been well studied and reviewed. Social media is extremely harmful for children, and especially young girls.

It’s also extremely harmful for adults, but adults can make their own decisions.

I largely agree with the analysis, with the caveat that a search engine is a bit more involved than serving static GETs.

I had the Pre2 and Pre3, those were the best phones I ever had. I can't believe they failed. At the time I also had both an iPhone and a Nexus (I was developing mobile apps) and the Pre's were my daily drivers. I even got the HP TouchPad and used that as a daily driver as well. I worked some of my web development from that tablet. It was damn great. It is a tragedy that webOS for mobile devices is gone.
You talking about having coding replace outside time.

However, if you look at where most kids spend their time, a lot of it would be in front of the TV or watching online videos or playing games.

I think the people who want kids to code, want coding time as a replacement for watching mindless videos, not as a replacement for outdoor time.

So your kid plays outside and then comes in and instead of watching another toy unboxing video, codes up a simple game they can play by themselves or with their friends.
A kind of moot point, this is decision process happening in every studio all over the world. The only people who are truly independent are those who finance their movies themselves, and they are for a very different audience than Disney.

Not that I agree with certain Disney choices, but they are for-profit just like everybody else and if one doesn't like their production, voting with wallet is as usually the best course of action.
Why would you encourage your kids to learn to code? Do you not like them?

But seriously; I'm not planning to teach my kid to code unless he is really interested in it by himself. I rather have him play outside.
He probably didn't think he'd get caught. I mean it's not a large proportion of crypto thieves/fraudsters who are. Less than 1%?

Some instructors are beginning to use more Open Educational Resources (OER) such as open access online textbooks (OpenStax) in their courses.

Huge props to them and I hope more do this, but we also need to recognise that most OER today serves the basic classes that more people will take.

Its when you get into the higher level, more specific courses where OER is currently under-serving. OER for most of these courses just plain don't exist, I hope someone figures out a way to serve these student and instructors in the near future.
> Being able to refactor/change one part of the code without being afraid that something else might break is an excellent reason to use a framework.

Yep. It's also more or less essential when something is subcontracted, like this was. In this case I think there were hard-working, competent developers who were burned by the original spec hiding a lot of undiscovered complexity, and what would have been a really good piece of work went inevitably quite wrong. The subcontractors clearly desperately tried to finish it within their parameters, and the result is something that met most of the spec but satisfied nobody.

(The framework decision they made wrong was in the front end, because there they made the disastrous choice to run with Angular 1.x -- which was presumably an in-house skill -- and not push to at least use 2.x. The resulting project is the precise kind of agony that Angular 1.x is famed for.)

Is it possible they subtracted the energy required to facilitate the reaction in the first place? So net energy was enough to boil 60 kettles worth of water?
> I am not looking for a language that is too theoretical, like Haskell.

Rust is not "theoretical", but have some theory applied to great effect. The comparison to Haskell is more in the use functional idioms, algebraic types, pattern matching and bits here and there...

Law on receiving stolen goods is vague, complex, and jurisdiction-dependent. But in some cases, if the money you get paid is "the same" money that was stolen (something that's actually much easier to show with Bitcoin, where every input to every transaction is another transaction's output), and you know about the crime, yes. See People ex Rel. Briggs v. Hanley.

Exactly, no one has 3l kettles, but it's the right ballpark. You could also run about 9k kettles for that 5 seconds but not boil them, and if you tried to run 60 kettles consuming all that power for 5 seconds you would have quite the fire...
Weird that other car models aren’t affected, though.

> doing FP in Scala versus alternatives

I think Scala is the language most actual functional programming on this planet takes place these days. Be it just FP or pure FP.

I especially like pure FP in Scala. One can do that with Cats Effect (from the TypeLevel family of languages) or ZIO. They're both awesome, so check them out and pick what you'll like best.

https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/

https://zio.dev/

You don't even need to reach out to Scala 3 (still not as mature in its tooling support), you can have a great time with the latest Scala 2 (2.13).

> versus alternatives

I think of Scala as a opinionated take on ML and a module system that is tailored to JVM (and is seamlessly interoperable with Java) that just happens to have syntax heavy on braces/parentheses. Otherwise, what's not to like? :)

Most of those extras disappear if you switch from the "home" view to "latest tweets". It's the top right icon on the web version, but I suspect the app has it somewhere as well. It gives you only the directly followed content and in timeline order.
Everyone here understands that when a geomagnetic storm starts knocking out satellites, that means we're now actually in the SyFy movie that we've only just survived the prequel for, right?
Part of the problem might have been that "Dos Oruguitas" is a smash in Spanish but doesn't as have much emotional impact if you don't understand the lyrics. I saw the movie in a local theater in Latin America and several people cried with that scene.

As a fun fact, every single voice actor is famous in Colombia because of their singing, for example Maribel is the leader of a popular girl band. The Spanish dub is incredible, one of the few movies I would recommend seeing in Spanish instead of English if you are bilingual.

True, but then again this raises the question why a browser is needed for sandboxing; it could just as well be done on OS level. And it is done on MacOS, although I don't know whether the amount of sandboxing it does is comparable to what Chrome is doing.

Another issue is that the network communication of a native app can be fenced in by e.g. Little Snitch, whereas fencing in an app running in Chrome is quite challenging. I'd have to apply any firewall rules to Chrome as a whole, instead of the web app.

Perhaps there even exists a firewall as a Chrome extension that would allow that kind of thing; but then we quickly approach the terrain where Chrome becomes something like a VM where just everything runs in, just slower compared to native executables.

Nothing it's just a name.
It's definitely not just the publishers. I think rackets like this work so effectively because bellies get buttered all the way down.

At one class at my university (an early chem class) the author of the book was also the professor of the course. And each year it was a new version which didn't do a whole lot more than fix some typos, introduce some new ones to be fixed next year, and change (probably automatically through software) the problem sets.

Then you'd be forced to buy new copies at full price from the campus book store. And at the end they'd then buy them back for you for a few dimes on the dollar so long as they were in "like-new" condition. And while I don't know what they did with them then I expect at that point they were sold to other universities at a discount for them to start the racket all over again with a set of now "like-new" text books.

Really nobody has any motivation whatsoever to change the system besides the student. Though even there most students seemed frustrated but simultaneously pretty apathetic. Everybody of course realized it was a racket, but didn't really care to make too much of a fuss over it since endless loans and the like all make it feel somehow like the money involved is not really real. And, after all, in a decade or two we'd all be millionaires.
You can easily bundle all resources in that PHP as someone said. Or the script can download them from CDN and cache locally and then use the local version. I also don't like external resources, it makes no sense. It is often not even faster as most people think. It is fast only if that file is already cached in the browser and given the number of various js/css projects and their versions it is generally unlikely to have the proper version cached.
