Sorry, I had seen this elsewhere and it was incorrectly transcribed. You are correct that the linked page shows "uncontrived" for C. That makes the question less bad though still a bit stilted.
> it's not the color of your skin or your heritage that determines your placement

Where could that come from? There is an enormous history of racism in the US, and plenty of it overtly, less overtly, etc. right now. You could see it in this thread, where someone literally said that race was the determining factor. You have to blind yourself not to see it over and over in our society.

And yet it somehow doesn't affect people or their educations? Instead of fighting a political battle, what can we do to end it?

> this does match up with your 'parental wealth' claim, since any pair of upper-middle-class parents is more likely able to afford to live in an area with schools rated at least 6 by GreatSchools, thus giving their child(ren) a better opportunity at education.

I wonder if the research controls for that; it would tell us a lot.

> the only thing directly hindering any integration of lower-class and higher-class kids in schools is what I said above

There is plenty of data to observe; we don't have to guess. What is your guess based on? In my non-systematic and few observations, attempts at integration are resisted aggressively by white parents, especially now. Also, remember school busing.

Over time, observe if the hypothesis that I was told - that I doubted and argued against, and that I had to admit I found true to be - see whether it is true: There is always another story, another explanation, year after year, generation after generation, but the result always consistent with racial discrimination.
Thanks for sharing the article, I found it very insightful
Do we really need more car focused infrastructure in the world? Can someone explain in more detail about why this is an important spot to link? How about a train line?
One, eliminating a bunch of required courses not relevant to the job would make things go faster. Sure, things like humanities are fun but for many people getting an education it's not worth the cost-benefit analysis. Plenty of people taking on debt going to college to improve their future prospects would be better served

Two, I don't think someone needs a full engineering degree to become productive. Writing my own compiler was a blast, and gave me some real insight into how computers work under the hood. But if our goal is to improve the earning potential of young adults with the minimum financial burden, I wouldn't be teaching compilers. I'd be teaching how to spin up cloud services, the network stack, and modern web dev.

College is for the student. But it also costs the student a boatload of money. If we want to give the student the best bang for their buck, approaching it as a form of job training would be more effective. Sure, companies could pay for that training. But they're not and colleges fulfill this role, and insist on tacking on a bunch of other requirements that don't really do much to help the student's job prospects.
So you're saying that higher education is (yet another) public good that fails when turned in to a for-profit enterprise?
Big box, like big box electronic stores?

They generally have a discount budget they can use on small items if you buy big items.

E.g, I got my carrying case for free because I bought a switch _and_ two games.

Got delivery and installation free because we bought a stovetop _and_ a fridge.

But it had to be negotiated.

The risk of an explosion was very real, but the show claimed it would be measured in megatons, which is completely ludicrous.
That's interesting, and I wonder why. From my perspective, I'd probably either assume if it's free you already got a million offers, or they are in terrible shape. Perhaps that's why people didn't bother.
Western Digital EdgeRover App: Elevated Privileges Windows, macOS CVE-2022-22998
Like many things with Go, its approach seems reasonable and simple at first, but allows you to accidentally write code that looks right but is very, very wrong. For example, what do you think this code will do?

delaySecs := 1 * time.Second
time.Sleep(delaySecs * time.Second)

Now I insist on using the durationcheck lint to guard against this (https://github.com/charithe/durationcheck). It found a flaw in some exponential-backoff code I had refactored but couldn’t easily fully test that looked right but was wrong, and now I don’t think Go’s approach is reasonable anymore.
I don't mind the big borders, although most of the time I'm using dual 2k screens.

The borders don't seem that much bigger than the ones in Windows 10. As for the extensions, I've been enabling those via extensions.gnome.org and have no problems so far on Buster or Bullseye.

This is the one that makes Gnome useable for me:

If we would support and better standardize the offerings of community colleges (as some proposed recently), we could drive down the cost of a bachelor's degree by close to 50%, even if the current rates of tuition for the last two years went unchanged.

Of course, there are numerous ways to reduce the tuition cost of the last two years too. I'd love to see the same standards established by community and junior colleges be extended to advanced courses as well as making those courses available online. The final degree could be granted by a the authority who governs the standards, like Britain's Open University. But there should be many alternative ways to do this well, to provide a technical education, a artistic or literate one, or simply help folks retrain as their careers evolve.

We just need to quit making excuses and stop this merry-go-round to nowheresville NOW, before any more damage is done by the anticompetitive kleptocracy AKA the US university system.

I see comments there explaining that the writer got that estimate from a phsycist, so maybe wrong, but definitely not ludicrous. Linked from that same discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/TVChernobyl/comments/boo19f/did_she...
Assuming it’s true that college students today are weaker thinkers, I wonder how much of it can be explained by the teaching profession becoming less desirable over time (in the U.S. at least). Inflation-adjusted pay has been dropping for years, from what I understand, while alternative career options for women have been improving.
I've been playing the same Minetest SMP server for 5+ years now. Minetest is pretty good, the engine is C++ but the game world is defined via lua.

There are some quirks that will drive hard-code Minecraft players nuts, but it's not that bad overall, especially if you like the building aspect of MC.
All that, and yet I don't see a single example of what would be "correct", or an example language that does it better. This just comes off as poorly thought out rant.

In my opinion, it is well designed. First of all, who is multiplying time.Duration against itself? I've been programming Go for a few years basically every day, and I've only ever seen the package constants used by themselves, or with untyped constant. I think it's a great syntax, better than any example in the article, as you don't have mystery numbers.
there's also built in keyloggers, eye tracking, and an absolutely insane amount of telemetry. revoke permissions for the camera and mic and see how many times "your settings blocked access" notifications show up.
Sometimes! Not for the GPU part, but to make the summary data for the ML data.

For example, genome sequencing data and intermediate results are easily in the TB area of space, but the resulting table of genomic variants (k-mers like n-grams in NLP) is only a few hundred GB.
And I provided info to clear up the confusion, so not sure what the confusion is.
in the genre of naming things, some related things to explore:

- avoiding naming things if you can help it

- using tooling to autogenerate names

- avoiding too short, likely overloaded names like `id`, `name`, and `url`

- don't choose lazy pluralization - eg instead of `names/name`, use `nameList/nameItem`

- encoding types to make Wrong Code Look Wrong, a famous Spolsky opinion (lite hungarian notation)

- coming up with grammars for naming, eg React had an exercise to name its lifecycles combinations of THING-VERB-ACTION, like `componentDidMount`, before open sourcing, which helped learnability

I would tend to agree that this is probably in the realm of post-viral CFIDS/ME/POTS/etc - I had nearly 10 years of dealing with fatigue/tachycardia/blood pressure issues/etc/etc/etc after an intense bout of mono and then an intense bout of lyme disease.

I haven't seen any numbers, and this general area of symptoms does get pretty blurry (and has many weird rabbitholes - for me methyl-b12 injections for a year worked amazing - for someone else? maybe not)
Haskell has a couple libraries that would be great here; either the excellent time library, or the very powerful dimensional library with full statically typed SI units. Of course for something as core as threadDelay, a newtype is more appropriate as you say.

My preferred way in Python is:

```

time.sleep(timedelta(minutes=5).total_seconds)

Or

```

time_to_sleep = timedelta(minutes=5)
time.sleep(time_to_sleep.total_seconds())

```
Indeed. Consumers in general may not care - but imagine if every device that's currently a black box could instead have competitors and an ecosystem build up around it.

I think static straps are important.

I used to work at a fabless semiconductor company, Aeluros (bought by Broadcom) in 2002-2007, and one of our analog designers, Arnold Feldman, Ph.D., who designed anti-static circuitry for a large graphics card mfr, religiously wore anti-static straps when he was in the lab.

In fact, all the designers (they were all Ph.D.s from either Stanford or Cal) wore straps in the lab.

I asked him once why he wore a strap because until that company I had been haphazard in my use of a strap when I worked on the guts of PCs. He said that even though I might not have caused a failure, the chip might be degraded.

I now wear a strap every time I work with bare circuit boards.

Will RDNA3 cards have AV1 encoder? RDNA2 ones got the decoder at least. With encoders in place, video calls can start using AV1 too.
Mainly that I like the concept of FreeBSD. It's just one OS, has excellent documentation. Some good tech like jails, zfs on root etc.

Apparently it's not great at WiFi but I don't use that on my main driver (NUC).

On Linux I use docker a lot, and while FreeBSD has its excellent jails, it doesn't have the whole ecosystem around them. So that's why I use Linux on the server side more.
Patreon video has 2 solutions, Vimeo, and URL. If you use vimeo you can upload videos to vimeo right through the patreon page (though that stopped working for me some while ago so I started just using vimeo directly). For the URL it doesn't want like, a link to a video file. That will result in the patreon page just having a download link. But if you provide it with basically the same thing vimeo does (a whole ass player through the page's meta information) it can embed the video just fine, same as Vimeo.

I had planned to switch off Vimeo anyway because of the weekly upload limit being so low for my tier (I could tier up but my patreon income is like, 7 dollars so it wouldn't really be worth it). And this is pretty much the motivation I need. It's something I had already messed around with, for the purposes of embedding a custom HLS livestream. And since the only real security Vimeo offers is an unlisted URL and a domain whitelist, my plan was to require actual Patreon Oauth to watch the videos.
It depends on your viewership breakdown. The average is lower, but top creators who target viewers in expensive markets have reported those numbers on the high end.
Ideally inflation shouldn’t effect education as much as regular goods. For example if I have an apple and you want to buy my apple, at minimum I want to recover my costs because I will be left without an apple. However, if I have knowledge, I can share my knowledge with you freely and now we both have knowledge, I won’t lose my knowledge like the apple.

If we don’t abandon the the system of guaranteed government (i.e. taxpayer) student loans, you can be sure their costs will continue to go up just like they went up when their was no inflation, and those costs will just be passed along to students and paid for with debt.

Funny story, waited in line at the grocery store while the lady in front of me was being handled by the cashier. Once all the groceries had been scanned, the cashier told the customer the total. The lady offered her about half of that. It completely confused the cashier who was not expecting someone to haggle. It went back and forth a few times and then the manager was called and I was helped in the next line over. I waited a while to see what would happen, and in the end the lady stomped out angrily and the manager had an employee restock all the stuff she had brought to the register. That was not a place where there was any price flexibility.

However, at the Farmer's market, there is a lot of price flexibility on products.

It is an excellent life skill to be able to distinguish between markets where prices are fixed and markets where they are flexible.
>Honestly I see a lot of people critiquing left wing ideas using these really vague descriptors and I don't get why. If somebody has an issue to raise they should raise it explicitly so we can discuss it! Political discussion helps us all to learn.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take away from this: I did explain further the context of obsessive generalization, but I'm not sure how, given you yourself say you're well read on leftist literature, you can't correlate how extreme egalitarianism requires doing away with individual characterization.

>The leftist ideal is actually that all people are free to pursue their passions and creativity

Wouldn't that imply that leftism cannot exist without allowing fascism to also exist? I don't see how you can juggle this with the view that leftism's goal is to reduce oppression, given that the definition you've provided here necessitates that opression must be possible for leftism to achieve its goals. In my mind, assuming I'm reading into this correctly, is that you've created your own "chicken vs the egg" paradox
I would go one step further and suggest that all physical quantities should either have the units in the identifier name or encoded in the type system. Meters, seconds, milliamps, bytes, blocks, sectors, pages, rpm, kPa, etc. Also it's often useful to explicitly distinguish between different unit qualifications or references. Seconds (duration) versus seconds-since-epoch, for example. Bytes versus page-aligned bytes, for another.

Having everything work this way makes it so much easier to review code for errors. Without this means that as a reviewer you must either trust that the units and conversions are correct or you should do some spelunking to make sure that the inputs and outputs are all in the right units.

As the linked Twitter thread implies, I don't even look at degrees when I do my hiring. I hear that, in the security industry, it's even worse where people with degreed are discriminated against for being filled with worthless and downright wrong bits of knowledge. Based on the latest round of entry level interviews I've had held in software land with recent college graduates, I'm inclined to agree.

College as STEM job training is absurd and clearly a failure. As you say, it's about much more than job training, but I would argue it doesn't even do that. Hell, it makes applicants worse somehow.
Yes. I fear that this is exactly what is missed by people who expect University to operate as a transaction where middle class people invest money in order to obtain membership in to an elite cast, which is a system where the state is treating these investments as a private enterprise which needs public-sector subsidy, and the university is put in to a system of economic incentives where it becomes an institution for producing people who corporations need, and in turn, the indebted student is lumbered with economic constraints which channel them into being who a corporation needs.

When I learned Objective-C I remember being flabbergasted at all the method and argument names that were exceedingly wordy. At some point I read a blog post[0] that said while this is out of the ordinary when it comes to most code having long, descriptive names helps when reading code.

Some people complain that it involves too much typing or takes up too much space.
In reality, we spend much more time reading code than we do writing it, so names that provide context, direction, and fore-shadowing are really useful.

I still tend to write method names and important variable names like that to this day in pretty much any language I use. IMHO, its a great hack.

An extreme example is in the NSBitmapImageRep class [1]

If you are doing research you have to be up to date or you don't get things published. I'm sure there are some professors who don't do research who make it a point of personal pride or something to keep themselves updated, but there's zero pressure to do so.

It's a literal interp of "there's no such thing", whereas I interpret it as hyperbole, much like "nobody does that anymore" or "I looked everywhere...".

Yes, there are a few free lunches. That doesn't make it bad expression, just not a literal one.

"The idea that everything in life should have a price", as you said, is hyperbole too. There are lots of things that no one is trying to put a price on, but let's not go down that road.

> Some things in life are abundant and need no pricing and have nothing hidden.

Yes, but food isn't one of them in a world with 7 billion people. Compared to the population, food isn't abundant, and managing to feed so many people is one of the greatest human achievements; it's all thanks to the work of hundreds of millions of people, not nature's abundance.
The people interviewed in the Social Dilemma hit on some of this. Being closest to the source and truly understanding how they used different techniques to manipulate people's attention scared the daylights out of them. The sad this is that now they made their buck and are turning on the industry to try to look like saints.

VBA macros aren't supported. Last time I checked even conditional formatting wasn't supported, although I see now it was added in January 2022 [1]. Even so, as with many other features, the web UI is different and more limited. Links to documents stored locally or on an SMB share don't work. Scrolling through thousands of rows is laggy. Generally, Excel Online is useless for the complex spreadsheets used in large enterprises, which themselves are often workarounds for the limitations of the web apps the enterprise is supposed to run on.

The first time I put something in the "free" section instead, someone sent me a legit hate email because they didn't like the item I was giving away for free... wtf?
Ah yes, a new take on the botnet-as-a-service genre.

Running untrusted code, even inside a container, is a terrible idea. Container escapes get discovered all the time and even without them you could get yourself in serious trouble with the police by just letting random people use your network. Sure, you'll be able to defend yourself in court, but nobody has time to go to court over this stuff.

If you run this inside a VM with a PCIe paasthrough and all network traffic tunneled through some kind of VPN then maybe it's worth the effort, but I just wouldn't risk it.
