There is very little that an undergraduate degree in gender studies, media studies, history, etc. provides, even if these subjects can be considered useful in general. On the surface you are learning about the humanities but in practice the classes have such low standards that you learn neither the writing and argumentation skills needed to excel in academia nor the deep understanding of past works that is the reward of the humanities.

I say this as someone who went to a school with highly ranked humanities programs. My business communication class taught me more about communication than any rhetoric/history/media studies class. My high school AP English Language class taught me more about persuasive writing than any writing class in college.

If undergrad humanities programs are to be taken seriously they need to drastically increase their rigor and actually instill skills in their students.
Could you tell me a bit more about your beverage company?
there are projects like fex and box86/box64 that are trying to do for linux what windows is doing and what rosetta 2 is doing.
More than there should be, but it's their party.
It wasn't hard to de-platform them because they are a vice company, not because of what was on there servers unintentionally. By your standard Meta/FB/Insta are much worse perpetrators of hosting child pornography
It isn't like you have to blow up the reactor itself to disable a foreign nuclear plant. I see no reason why anybody would ever target a reactor core. There is a HUGE amount of electrical substation infrastructure outside of these plants which would take like 1/1000 the effort to damage or blow up as the reactor core itself and would shut the whole thing down. The only reason you would target a reactor core itself is to spread nuclear debri on purpose, which is still probably more effort than it would take to just make a dirty bomb and far less effective than a dirty bomb. Also you destroy all value in taking that territory, piss off every other country in the world likely prompting them to join the war against you, and likely spread the poison back into your own territory.
And if you do, it’s ridiculously over saturated with them
No.

Not sure I would support a fundraiser by an organization so willing to play fast and loose with the truth - especially when their motive is to support fashionable politics of the day.

It doesn't lend much credibility to the organization when they conveniently omit historical facts in order to match their desired narrative.
That would be an interesting approach: don't know if it's what they're doing, but if they're like 'make M1 Ultras predominantly, but then if they break you're making M1 Max with an attached bit that has to be trimmed off', that's pretty ingenious.
IANAL but I would go a lot further and say this behavior should be prosecuted. If this isn't a violation of the CFAA or something like it, it should be amended to include it.
> Which is mostly coming from the religious right who are big funders/power-holders and dislike sexual imagery and non-fundamental norms in the public eye.

The universe of people who “dislike sexual imagery” is a lot broader than the (evangelical Christian) “religious right.” Left-leaning Black and Hispanic Christians, non-Christian socially conservative groups (Muslims, Hindus), non-religious socially conservative groups (many East Asians), and also sex-negative feminists have similar attitudes toward sex and sex work.

That’s why these laws have broad bipartisan support. “Sex work is work” is an area where (generally sex-positive) progressives and libertarians agree, but those two groups combined are still a pretty small constituency.

What the node ipc maintainer did was prove there was at least one person with scruples in this industry. Reading the rest of this thread is proving he's a minority though, depressing.

Also if you're going to delete my comments just delete my account. I'm done ignoring my industry will gladly enable dictators and pretending we are neutral. We are complicit and we need to take a stand... Or maybe we all just want to collect our fat paychecks while inventing more ways to kill people. Shrug.
Thanks! I had a look at signals and slots. Is this similar to Smalltalk's idea of objects sending messages to each other? Like messages they don't know about can be ignored, or something like that (I only watched Alan Kay's videos on this topic, never programmed in Smalltalk myself). If I'm not mistaken, Objective-C had something similar and was also successful for UI, so maybe message passing mechanism is something to explore more…

I love Dear Imgui:

It is the simplest thing in the world. If you are starting and are going to do 3D graphics anyway you don't need state(you just redraw the screen 60 times per second).

Anything else is extremely sophisticated. I also loved Qt, but the policies got a little cumbersome, and went native.

The big problem is that with state there is a lot of complexity involved that is dependent on a platform, and once you pick one it is hard to change.

The big advantage of 3d graphics and dear imgui or any other open source software is that it works anywhere and you are not as dependent on a single company.

Note that, despite the headlines, the final units at the Chernobyl nuclear plant stopped generating power in 2000. These aren't like the Zaporizhzhia units which are still providing power to the area. Once a nuclear chain reaction stops, the afterglow heat reduces exponentially. By now it is exceedingly low, and can be fully cooled passively.

Best info on this whole situation comes from the UN's "nuclear watchdog" (the IAEA), who now has 27 individual updates from this overall event.

Not to say people shouldn't be allowed to rotate shifts, of course. But don't let the word Chernobyl freak you out too much is all.

Why would 'they' do that, when they've become so adept at selling anything to the public?

With universal voting rights, you can tell the customers you're just serving their wishes and there is no ground for complaint.

Sounds like a pretty niche scratch-an-itch thing for somebody to write. If you know Python the Blender Python API isn't that hard to learn, although it does tend to change sometimes, especially between major versions, and sometimes minor versions as well.

Well I think it's more because of the internet's lack of civility and lack of foresight/forethought, than a strictly SJW thing.

I could see someone on the right pulling a stunt like this if there was an equal representation of conservative coders in the OSS community.
With the three cats I've had living with me, the closest I've come to getting my face attacked while sleeping was sometimes they walk over me, which is fine when they walk over my legs or torso, and uncomfortable when they walk over my groin or face. Usually there's some amount of motion or noise so I can get my arms up to protect my face or at least move the cat.

I haven't had the types of cats that just attack their owners with no provocation though. All three did have the thing where sometimes they get upset by something that is impercetible to humans and swat at apparently nothing and then run away. That's not usually too stealthy though, and you can usually avoid getting attacked in the face.
Wow that is naive. Geolocation by IP address is notoriously error-prone.

The most obvious is former Soviet republics, or any neighbour of a target nation, being mis-identified. That includes Ukraine itself, by the way, but also Finland and Poland. How about territory that is disputed? Or adjacent to enclaves like Kaliningrad? But it can also include friendly-nation assets that just happen to be currently inside Russia or Belarus, including government entities and journalists. It can affect folks simply relying on mobile networks near borders. Address blocks are routinely reallocated, reassigned, reused, misused, on a global basis and an address range announced in Korea last year can show up in Canada tomorrow.

Even geolocation by client-side request can be wrong, too. Not just because it's easy to lie, but major nations also fuck with the GPS, which is an issue currently affecting Baltic aviation¹. By the same token, IP geolocation databases are easily misled by self-reporting from mobile devices. Simple example: imagine someone using a dedicated VPS in the US as a personal VPN exit node for their devices when visiting mainland China (actually, we don't have to imagine: I did exactly this). Any IP-based location assumptions start out incorrect, since it's by VPN exit IP; but later on, thanks to mobile device reporting, that IP address can end up misclassified long-term as "Chinese".

None of this is hypothetical. I visited Jordan a few years ago and whilst visiting ruins near Umm Qais, up by the Sea of Galilee, my phone was switching to Israeli networks. I also know of an Australian startup that was mis-identified as Russian and lost access to a major partner API². That's since resolved, but the point is, forget what you see on police procedurals; identifying the political jurisdiction of a device, whether it's by IP address or any other means, remains an art, not a science, and it's incredibly easy to be wrong.

As for the suggestion that the rest of us remain unaffected; any malware incident in the node ecosystem requires immediate attention and audit from every security team, whether you were the intended target or not. This idiot has cost all of us time and energy.

How do freezers work if heat pumps stop working at 32F?
Even though there are some politics involved, "destroyed" is far from correct. I would say chasing corporate dollars had more of an affect, but someone has to pay the bills.
I think that code was included, but not reachable. Horrible nonetheless.

Freezers use a different refrigerant that gives them a different working temperature range.

Additionally, for proper efficiency the key components of the system need to be sized for your target temperature and the temperature range of your ambient air.
For the longest time, ".cpp" was the only suffix MSVC would compile, so that forced anybody doing cross-platform to conform. Recently, MSVC got an option to accept other suffixes, but the damage is done.

The obviously best choice is ".cc": your finger is already on the "c". But IDEs have led people to care less about ergonomic code organization.
This is specifically addressed in the appendix of later editions of The Cathedral And The Bazaar. I think what people are missing is that traditional project management does not deliver projects any faster or better. "Oh, it's really big and complicated, so all this inefficient process is necessary!" But then you bring in a Six Sigma or Lean or Agile consultant, and they look around and go, "What the fuck are you people doing?" They write up a list of recommendations and leave, and then the corporation does exactly jack shit with those recommendations. But many of the recommendations are to stop doing so much bullshit process, because it's often making coordination on that big complicated thing even harder.

Also addressed by the paper is the fact that, yes, Open Source does benefit from people with very big brains motivated to do what they love. The traditional model of "throw 100 random engineers at the problem" is simply not going to result in the efficiency of 10 highly motivated, highly talented individuals. But that doesn't mean the Open Source way wouldn't result in just as successful a software product. The difference is in how you motivate people, and how to get the hell out of their way so they can be effective.

I would only like to urge you to think about accessibility. There are many custom GUI libraries out there, but almost all of them are made without thinking about accessibility. It kind of forces certain architecture, which may be hard to fit later. A11y APIs expose widgets in form of a tree.

I thought about writing a cross platform GUI toolkit, that would start from being a cross platform accessibility library.
Treating this as "malicious" isn't helping fight Russian disinformation, which is even more concerning seeing as Russian developers are openly dismissing genocide in Ukraine, and unironically citing Putinist "anti-nazi" propaganda.
it would take a drastically differently designed execution environment to support meaningful library level sandboxing. After packaging/linking/bundling/compiling etc depending on language/flavour often a library is indistinguishable from 1st party code, there is no boundary to sandbox.

Without a large scale change, you'd have to fork a new process for each 'library' to create a process boundary to then sandbox, which is actually what you do sometimes (think firing ffmpeg or openssl or similar) but doing it for each library would be prohibitive, especially in NPM world where you blink and have thousands of libraries =)

I would ask if the RTX 3090 is competitive in some of the specialized things the Mac chip is made to do: there's a hell of a lot of dedicated video processing stuff in there that seems to exist to serve Final Cut Pro, not gaming. Are we comparing apples and oranges, in the sense that video editing at 4k, 5k and beyond might call upon a different set of skills than gaming benchmarks? How much would it matter if this translated into rather proprietary things like ability to pump impossible amounts of ProRes video compression on the fly and scrub ridiculously giant frame sizes? Are there benchmarks along those lines?
It's very simple. Don't pay placement agents tens of thousands of dollars for placing an advert and passing on cvs (at best - at worst biasing you the wrong way). Use that budget to pay the many candidates for their time. Short list of 30 candidates, you can pay each one $1k for time spent jumping through your hoops. Everything is better for everyone doing something like that, the company, the candidates who don't get hired and quality of candidates willing to go through the process. Just a straight up win.
At one end, there's making one-offs or small editions that sell for thousands of dollars each (or hundreds each for larger handmade editions). In terms of physical production, a binder could make hundreds from scratch every year; in practice, I believe the market for a binder's artistic works is smaller than that, and everyone I've met supplements that with teaching, grant money, restoration, or ancillary work (such as clamshell boxes or custom rebinding). The person with whom I'm apprenticing makes a good living at it, but he concentrates mainly on restoration and ancillary products, and has a strong side business selling rare books (partly because he can buy old but poor quality books, restore them, and sell them for much more).

It's a business very dependent upon networking within a collector community, and I have no idea how large it is, but it's definitely there and has deep pockets. One student I took a class with made a decent living making clamshell boxes for collectibles, and one collector brought her an original script from Star Wars, signed by the cast, including all the verification paperwork, and one of the prop light sabres.

I don't need to make a living at it, so I'm lucky. But it's definitely an area of the arts with arts level compensation, which is to say... not great.
When it was first built (6ish years ago? before I took over) there weren't any other practical options if you wanted an Ethereum simulator in JavaScript, which is a very common use case of ours.

Though now that wasm is popular and there are Rust implementations of Ethereum, I still think being able step into and debug from within a JavaScript application is valuable.

I think the ecosystem has just drank too much semver Kool-Aid.

So no, I don't regret it, and I don't think the problem is unique to npm, I think the problem is exacerbated by its popularity and addiction to loose semver (the default when installing a package by name).

I don’t necessarily disagree, except with the characterization of Apple and Facebook as taking some sort of ‘middle line’? I guess Apple doesn’t actively prevent me from watching porn on that sweet pro display xdr. But Facebook doesn’t even allow non-erotic nudity. It’s PG-Pope, as far as I can tell.
I think this announcement is firmly stating that they don't have the volume of small customers for that to be economical. YouTube can spend tens of millions a year shaving every last byte off their egress because they have such enormous volume that is pays off in aggregate. Vimeo can't do that so they don't try.
You could imagine that, but would be foolish to. Rust is not denser than C++.
When travelling, I have used GeForce Now to play Fortnite on an a pretty weak ARM Chromebook from a web browser.

I was able to turn up the graphical settings up much higher than what my regular desktop's ageing GTX 970 graphics card can get, while still maintaining a high frame rate.

Latency is low enough to have fun and contribute to the team. Wasn't a good experience over cellular, but it was very good on a wired connection.

I was very happy to have had a streaming option available at the time.

I can think of no good strategic reason to take over Chernobyl. I think Putin did it just to create terror. Knowing that the actual risk of a catastrophe is small, it’s a low risk way to make everyone else terrified of what Russia might do. Low cost, high yield - if you are a despot.
I think its explainable because back then you were in the part of fuck around, and now you are in the part of find out.
With the fossil and biofuel status quo powering more than 80% of the world causing climate change and air pollution on the scale of 8 million deaths per year [1], I don't find this argument particularly compelling. Sure there are hazards with nuclear, but even in wild hypothesized scenarios the damage from not doing nuclear is worse. For perspective, fossil + biofuel kill a full Chernobyl's worth of people (short term plus long term deaths) every 7 hours, and counting.

And as for loss of habitability, the dose rates around Chernobyl are elevated but not incompatible with life. Around Fukushima, I'd join Elon Musk in eating any locally grown food. Better to avoid airplanes if you're concerned about those levels of radiation, below the threshold known to cause the smallest measurable increase in cancer (100 mSv acute, 300 mSv annual).

I'd be curious how many people were surprised to be greeted by a picture of a pizza after clicking a link that refers to dividing pies.

I'm from California, where "pie" refers exclusively to the dessert variety. I expected the article wouldn't be specifically about pies, but rather about negotiation in general.

Did anyone (from areas where "pie" can mean pizza) think that this was going to be an article in which pizzas were used to illustrate the point?

I don't know everything there is to know about myself. I may know myself better than anyone else, but I still have blind spots, places where I rationalize, maybe even places where I just don't want to look. Others may see parts of me more clearly than I do.

And, others know parts of the world out there better than I do. What's it like to work at company X? I don't know; others do. What are current trends in interviewing? I haven't interviewed in over a decade; others have. What's it like trying to get hired when you're over 60? Well, last time I tried, I wasn't over 60. And so on.
The number of companies hiring developers far outstrips the time any competent developer has to interview with them.

it may not be the best merge tool in existence but it's adequate (which is actually, suprisingly good, given it is not at all its intended function) and at that point having all my standard vim configuration, editing capabilities etc. beats anything another tool would bring to the table.

I believe this is fully intentional, similar behaviour was observed in Syria.

Right now this is an at extreme level because the Russian army needs Ukraine to forfit ASAP or the generals are going to end up in Gulag any day now.
