> Also, 5 or 7 years from now, on which OS will Chrome or Chromium run better? Fuchsia or Linux?

Linux's GUI layer is such a huge weak spot, and it doesn't look like Wayland's gonna fix that (it seems like it's not even set up to address the most serious problems, really).

If they put Fuschia on Android devices & Chromebooks, that'll be about the end of the story for consumer-facing Linux. Then if they can make it work well as a container-hosting server OS and decide to push it for that purpose... well, the year of the Linux anything might be behind us, then.
I call this the "National Park effect".

Being constantly coddled in some way dulls your ability to recognize when circumstances have changed, and those safeguards are no longer present.

See: tourists who wander off in National Parks with no cell service, with no water or survival gear, and then think it's a good idea to pet a bison

The concept of laying bleeding, miles from the nearest road, with broken bones, as night falls and the temperature drops is so foreign to their experience that it just isn't an imagined possibility.

800 on the math section is something a ton of people get. Way way more than 500. More like ten thousand per year, maybe more.
I understand that, but this isn't a one-time risk either.

It would be an going potential health risk to thousands of employees; that doesn't seem like the place to throw caution to the wind.
Not quite the same; Jevons Paradox notes that increased efficiency of use is an effective reduction in cost. The fact that when you make something cheaper to use it gets used more is just simple supply and demand.
Congress is privy to inside information that impacts the market via several mechanism including private briefings for upcoming policy changes, or knowing about laws that will be passed before the actual votes

Congress should be investigate more thoroughly for insider trading, or even barred from trading at all (which is my preferred solution)
AFAIK, that wouldn't be considered insider trading since there was no trade.

However, there's an even more interesting wrinkle. In that case, you plan trades well in advance, and then cancel them based on insider information. In one case, that was rules to not be insider trading either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEC_Rule_10b5-1

"After Rule 10b5-1 was enacted, the SEC staff publicly took the position that canceling a planned trade made under the safe harbor does not constitute insider trading, even if the person was aware of the inside information when canceling the trade. The SEC stated that, despite the fact that 10b5-1(c) requires trades to be irrevocable, there can be no liability for insider trading under Rule 10b-5 without an actual securities transaction, based on the U.S. Supreme Court's holding in Blue Chip Stamps v. Manor Drug Stores, 421 U.S. 723 (1975).[6]"

We'll see how that plays out after Ukraine.
In practice this doesn't seem to work. In theory, Go should have a Result interface and two types Data and Error that implement it, and then functions that could error would return a Data or an Error and then... you'd have to call a function like `my_result.Do(callback)`? The fact that idiomatic Go code actually returns (data, err) and checks if err == nil -- and that it's not an error to forget this check -- suggests that the interface paradigm just doesn't work that well.
One thing I would love to see from the arxiv sites is a publicly available download of an SQLite database. They have a bunch of PDFs, and latex source - but the real killer would be a database with just the text for each section, and then the ability to generate* the pdf, using various different styles. This would save an enormous amount of space, and make things far more tidy.
I suppose the images could be stored in the SQLite as blobs, but there's probably a better way with vector dbs or something.

That's what the future will probably look like. With the SQLite decentralized on IPFS or torrent, where only queries get stored on each computer, making more popular queries faster to load (more peers).

*(or maybe an archive of a tons of zstd parquets for each table? - Not sure what the best way to organize several tables in parquet is yet)
A lot of times the best solution is buried in the third or fourth solution in the 5th or 6th search result. I can’t even find the solution that I know I have googled before.
Regulating them down is done by more aggressively cooling the reactor. The thermal energy output is unchanged, but less of that thermal energy is transformed into electricity. This doesn't wear down any materials, but it does waste fuel. Grated, fuel is a tiny faction of nuclear's cost. Furthermore, the gap between peak and minimum electricity consumption isn't that large. It's usually 10-20%.
> Then I really couldn’t talk about it, because my previous silence made me responsible.

You were a kid in an impossible situation; you weren't and aren't the responsible party. Most adults couldn't handle that situation, and the adults there didn't handle it at all. Your story and your roommate's story are just heartbreaking to hear. It makes me angry at the adults and, though I try to remember that they are conditioned the same experiences, at the attackers.
And apparently BC and Alberta were vast wastelands to Mr Cash, though he did apparently get to eastern Canada.
When I read this article, I had my usual immediate reaction to the phrase "creator economy:" is that actually a thing? If you add up all the net profit made in the so-called creator economy does it amount to anything interesting? I suspect it's just one drop in a bucket that amounts to a long tail of menial low-paying jobs.
investigations != prosecutions

when sec posts the story, then I will believe it. I strongly suspect the "investigations" will lead to nowhere.

I also smirked at the 40,000 USD figure. Some people has bills bigger than that for staying at a hospital a few days, in other country they could have financed a startup.
Not sure I understand the question, but you can point your docker socket configuration at an external machine of any architecture. That means you can run compose locally and it build/runs remotely.
I hypothesize that the student who took 8 times longer isn't going to do so well at MIT.

A typical exam at Caltech would be 4 problems and 2 hours.

I never memorized the trig identities. I simply knew them from using them a lot. And having worked enough algebra/trig problems, you can just see the answer in your head as you read the problem. (This turns out to be a big timesaver at Caltech, where every course was a math course. When you're dealing with calculus, you really need to have moved past struggling with trig.)

At some point in the last 40 years, however, they've slipped my mind.
Make it worth their while to change their mind. Anti-vaxxers can be persuaded to get vaccinated by offering them rewards. Others follow the lead of celebrities they like and respect. It may not work on everyone but it works on the group-level.
It seems like a good approach but the funding of things like special needs education (FAPE) is federal in nature; cutting those would likely nuke special needs programs nationwide.

You would need to start with your 2nd or 3rd "approximation" of your iterative approach (ie, pre-calc which programs are already popular/effective and keep those) unless your goal is to cause maximum disruption and possibly jeopardize your ability to do the "make Federal recommendations" effectively.
> How the fuck is the primary method of judging student admission to University not a government run service?

Well, I mean.. America is experimental capitalism. Why run anything government when it can be for profit and 'the market' will solve any and all issues with it?

It turns out 'the market' will skew in favor of making a small amount of people rich over actually improving the lives of anyone, but hey, that's freedom baby!

They're really precious about it though, so don't criticise this system out loud.
I guess that means Honestar Runner's Coach Z is a true gangsta!
Path discovery is agnostic of the transport protocol. Once an IP datagram with the "Don't Fragment" bit set reaches a device that cannot forward it because it is too large, the device must send an ICMP error back to the originating IP address with the correct MTU. The sender must adjust then adjust the MTU for the same destination for future datagrams. The sender may have to do this discovery multiple times, if each smaller packet gets progressively further, but doesn't reach the destination.

This whole process is thwarted by overeager network administrators blocking ICMP traffic, or, apparently, by devices like this "transit gateway" that don't generate the ICMP packet at all.

Edit: Sorry, I think I may have fallen into the trap of explaining something that you already knew and not answering your question. I realized this after jsnell's comment elsewhere that the kernel may not want to split packets with the PSH bit set. I wasn't able to find an answer to your question in linux/net/ipv4/tcp_output.c, hopefully someone more familiar with Linux's TCP can chime in.
No. That only tells you to fix those factors but the outcome is what they are. By the time of the ACT/SAT test it's too late to fix those things. Fix those upstream.
I took AP classes in high school, but couldn't afford to pay $65 per exam (at the time) to take the AP test for college credit.
I read this article the other day, "There are four schools of thought on reforming peer review" [1] about how there's four schools of thought about how to reform publishing and peer review. Each of them independently are fairly well received and makes sense in itself, at least among my academic circles. However, there are tensions between them, so it's hard to come up with a solution that's universally satisfying to even the majority of stakeholders.

This article about ArXiv is clearly in the "Democracy and Transparency school" as categorized article, but it doesn't yet address the other three camps. The arxiv article proposes machine-readable semantics, easier sharing and discoverability, papers + supplementary materials + reviews all open; this floods the world with even more publications with varying quality, so it's even harder to identify good quality work; and when things can be more easily aggregated by machines and measured with the alternative metrics proposed, it often leads to a more powerful winner-takes-all system that can be gamed (there's now a subtle game of increasing citations that appear on Google Scholar); finally, with an increase in submissions and materials that go along with submissions, it puts an even greater strain on the review system. These problems are not unsolvable, but almost every idea I've seen proposed so far has only been in a single camp, and there's side effects that harm the goals of the other three camps. So I'd love to see more ideas that balance the interests of all four camps that want to reform peer review and publishing.

> Never send a direct message that just says “hey” or “hello.”

I first started hearing people suggest this recently (within the past month or so). I never really understood why these message bothered people so much - they never bothered me and always actually seemed a bit more polite than just barreling forward with a question. But I guess if even Slack themselves are saying don't do that, it must really get on other people's nerves.
Why is the nurse criminally negligent, but not the company or programmers which made the software that runs the automated medicine cabinet? Or the hospital administration who failed to recognize and do something to correct the systemic problem of why constant "overrides" are needed to complete normal tasks?

Edit: maybe drug companies are even partly responsible for confusing names & the whole system of generic versus trade names (as it seems this incident wouldn't have happened if the generic name were the only name by which the substance was known).

I'm not saying any of the above should be. I just think we should compare and contrast the medical profession with aviation. The reason the accident rate is so low in commercial aviation is a systems approach to safety. In the medical profession it's all about machismo and individual responsibility - which doesn't lead to continual improvement as an industry.
This is kinda how medical residency is filled in the US, med students rank their top

Last I checked, you could activate a prepaid SIM without any proof of identity in the US. We don’t have a national ID card system. Postpaid does involve a credit check.
> This would save an enormous amount of space, and make things far more tidy.

Why? The output pdf is typically smaller than the input that produces it. Using rendered pdfs seems simple and very natural, and at worst can use twice the total amount of space.
It's "fundamentally geometric" to understand that the Fourier transform diagonalizes a circulant matrix so you can estimate the clock skew between two radios?

I think you get into calculus very quickly once you start dealing with uncertainty. A bit is 0 or 1, a discrete value. A random or unknown bit has some probability of being 1, a continuous value. A process that produces a random bit does too. An unknown such process has a distribution over such probabilities. Things like that are fundamental for things like communication or image classification.

Also, though, a major application of computers is modeling and controlling the calculus-based physical world, just because they are so good at number crunching. Particularly popular examples are ray tracing, music synthesis, and motor control.

I'm not sure what you mean? Plenty of parents and older siblings abuse their power, and plenty don't.
you may be correct that the monetary amount is negligible in the greater scheme of things but the "creator economy" is most certainly important in terms of the larger "attention economy" we now find ourselves in today.

Now that we know that you have a dislike of the Federal Reserve system, you didn't actually answer the question by stating a reason. What would "the same reason" be?
It's extremely common to use MISRA without static analysis (I would personally advocate for the opposite way around). Also, if the goal is to make static analysis easier, why not just have the rule be 'the static analyser must be able to say this is OK'? (which will depend greatly on what the capabilities of your static analyser are).
Doesn't the answer depend on what your employees do for work, what applications they use, etc.?
Good luck deriving matrix identities without Calc III.
Biggest obstacle to proper SSH usage tends to be the creation and management of people's private keys. The number of times people have to google for instructions for doing this right is insane. Let's get someone working on that.

Indeed. The amount of skill they've demonstrated as Lazarus (Lazarus Leaks (Vault 7), the Bangladesh Bank Heist, and Dark Seoul) is certainly notable and this seems to fit well within their MO.
It's also fun to go through the missions, without doing the hard part.
This seems... ambitious.

I think ArXiv (edit: Actually this is not by ArXiv, but some other group) is drastically over-estimating the desire to submit papers to their service. They are popular because they host the documents you were going to produce, in the format that the journals expect. The production of a Arxiv appropriate document is a side effect of the actual job, which is writing a paper to submit to a journal (hey, I'm as unhappy as you are that this is the actual job, but everyone hates publish-or-perish, if it could be overthrown it would have been).

"Getting academics to act in a way that is not directly in their self-interest because they just love sharing information" is a usually a pretty safe bet, but I think this would be a bit too far. Unless ArXiv can somehow get journals to expect their format (good luck!) I think this is going to be hard.
This... is an insane take. It's "humiliating" for you to use the communication platform your company has chosen?
Maybe, maybe not.

Under who's authority do you seek to act. Who are the stakeholders who oppose the notion? How many people already use Windows? How many applications that are in use require it?

Before anyone can answer with authority I feel we need to know a lot more about your situation.
Are margins on Macs higher than on iPhones? I’d assume at least with Intel they were lower than for iOS devices.

Also basically all Apple’s direct competitors both in the PC and smartphone businesses operate on paltry margins in comparison to Apple. They usually sell a mix of low/high margin products though, e.g. most premium Dell or Lenovo laptops are priced at similar levels to Macbooks (of course their real price might significantly lower due to infinitely better customizability and
reparability options). And almost none of them have significant additional revenue streams (not to a degree comparable to Apple). Yet they are still in business.

Apple would be able not to only to survive but to still thrive if they significantly cut their margins and the app store tax. Of course it would not be fair or sensible to expect any company to leave free money on the table. This is why we get ads in Windows, seem like most users dont’t really mind them too much (to be fair I’m not sure I have actually seen one, maybe it’s a windows edition and/or country thing.
An even split would almost be worse. Almost 10 billion / 668,000 creators is under 15k per person before expenses.
I don't think you've given enough information.

It's reasonable to limit what OS people can use for maintenance and security reasons. There are tons of windows only shops.

If not having it is getting in the way of your work, you should talk to your company about it and discuss how it would help you. (Edit: or if it's you doing the banning, have the same conversation and make sure it's not harming anyone's work)

It reminds me of the old atheism discussions: all companies limit the number of OSs they support, yours just limits one more.
> What I said had to do with what you said. OP set out a prescription (quite literally defined adulthood for everyone), it was questioned and you criticized the questioners. I'm questioning the criticizing of the questioners.

I'm correctly critiquing yourself and others for not actually understanding what caffeine said. It seems that you still don't.

> Why assume bad faith in the other comments? Try a different perspective while reading OP's comment.

I'm inferring bad faith on the basis that people seem to use caffeine's comment as a spring-board to engage in anti-capitalist rants, rather than actually engage with the quite reasonable career advice it was.

> That is to say, the industrial-entrepreneurial worldview is a valid one. But there are many other valid ones besides.

No one said it was the only one. Only that it is an important perspective to have on managing one's career.
Ah, you must have stumbled upon https://nohello.net/ too.
I think what they mean is "don't just say hey and leave a person hanging", i.e. if you have a long message to write just put it all together instead of potentially attracting somebody's attention to make them wait while <user is writing something..>.

Can anyone clue me in on the status of async/await in hubris? I have some HAL code that both really needs and uses async (or callbacks) to work and currently just use my own homebrew WFE/WFI wakers (with a fixed, known a priori number of tasks) but it would be nice to switch to something more elegant and less brittle.

(Context: async/await-based per-task loop to facilitate background LoRa send/receive while other tasks can continue to operate (DMA, SPI, etc) independently, with the overall loop shutting the primary Cortex core down when processing is completed/while waiting for events/updates.)

The last I checked, hubris was strictly synchronous and I didn't get the sense that the interaction between tasks was architectured in such a way that would facilitate low-power designs for battery-powered devices.
Slack has a really nice popup that blocks this from happening by mistake, and confirms you really want to do it.

(Also, @here is a great alternative because it only notifies people actively on Slack.)
This is an American interpretation of insider trading laws which are very much not about keeping markets fair rather they are about preventing shareholders (or those working on their behalf) from stealing from other shareholders.

Other jurisdictions have different presumptions about what insider trading laws are for and may thus interpret them in different ways.

This was a US jurisdiction filing so the former standard applies but on an international message board it’s worth remembering people have different intuitions about this stuff for good reason.
> No, it was an intentional move to restrict the number of Asians admitted

This always seemed short-sighted to me. I think standardized tests provide one of the clearest opportunities for less advantaged students to make inroads. And while certain groups do better now, I don't think there is a better way than this clear metric for other groups to improve their standing.

Also, I think we simply overvalue going to Harvard. So instead you go to UVa or Puget Sound University. You "can" learn a great deal at these other places as well -- and maybe learn more given your existing level of achievement.

If we think long game on this, we will see that this is one of the best things to lift all boats.
"You're so creative, you should sell this stuff on Etsy!"

I think Californians might be worse about it than most, too. Maybe it's all the pressure of keeping up with insane cost of living, plus the feeling that there's just so much stupid money sloshing around that surely you should be able to scoop some of it up...
My point here is that history actually taught us that freedoms come with attachments.

I mentioned Facebook because it enabled the government of Myanmar during the persecution and genocide of the Rohingya people. They could have done something, but chose to ignore it and do nothing. This is not a unique occurrence either.

Freedom of speech without observing any moral or ethical consequences doesn't make you free, it makes you a libertine, and those who choose to enable these behaviours aren't innocent either.

On top of it, in this scenario, Russia is waging an information war against the West, so why should we grant them the freedom to do so?
Can it approach an optimum in time linear in the number of dimensions like gradient descent does, rather than quadratic or exponential or something?
