The JavaScript App Framework for Startups
Flutter is the easiest way to write GUI applications on Fuchsia today, but by no means the only one. There already exists a Wayland to Scenic translation layer. Adding support to Gnome or KDE is totally possible. There is even a rust GUI framework under development in the fuchsia codebase called Carnelian. Like Linux, there is no concept of native platform widgets on Fuchsia. It is up to a product developer to build up those types of layers. The Workstation product may build up such a toolkit of native widgets, but that won't bound the possibilities of what you can do with Fuchsia.

Our experience in California is that funding lots of small local projects is the most effective solution to this problem. That’s how you get buy-in.
> Kaspersky also maintains that it “doesn’t have any ties with any government, including Russia’s

This take is either naive in the extreme, or disingenuous.

For a security company trying to maintain a trusted reputation, neither of those two options is good.

While possibly technically accurate, it is a dodge or a flub that overlooks the fact that their autonomy can be usurped by the governments where they are based and where they operate.

To be fair, this is true of almost any company I can think of, although I wonder if a DAO could get around it.
It started after Sandy Hook, I think. It's normal at all the schools in my red-state city. AFAIK it's the norm most places now.

Most of the document you linked is about management practices, presumably written by someone in a management position. This sets the tone. The last topic is more similar to what you wrote, but it is much shorter and to the point. How to Rands is framed as a declaration of management philosophy, and, as such, sounds entirely appropriate. Yours is more personal in nature. If you are in a management position, it may be a good idea to let this transpire in your writing as well.

> That’s exactly what I said. My wife went to high school in Iowa and was involved in FFA.

If someone is involved in 4H or FFA in a way that would be compelling for an elite school like Harvard or Stanford, I wonder why they would want to go to that elite school.

To use a simple example in California (where I currently reside), highly competitive / leaders in 4H and FFA people would almost always be much better served going to UC Davis rather than Stanford or Berkeley.

If Stanford or Harvard would be a better fit, I think the onus would be on the applicant to explain why. This is very doable (e.g., a focus on agricultural macroeconomics or investing), but I’m not sure most teenagers who do not have connections to elite schools would naturally think to do that in their application and/or other supporting activities.
I'll third them, though I have mixed feelings about the company itself (their decisions have sometimes been a bit unaligned with what I would prefer).

Currently using an ER-X with two Unifi APs.

Best thing about this level of hardware is uptime. Unlike many consumer/retail routers I've used previously, this thing has months/years of uptime at a time.

When something fails on my network, I can almost always assume the router is not involved in the problem.

I could see myself going for a OpenSense/PFSense custom build at some point for more power and even more options, but EdgeRouter hardware right now has enough configuration settings for me, but there is one configuration the ER-X doesn't have exactly enough power for- which is QoS.

Trying to QoS my 300mbps results in about a 1/3 speed reduction because it's pegging the CPU pretty hard. (QoS causes hardware-offloading to be turned off).
I did do this in multiple engineering courses in grad school. Various homework assignments and projects throughout the semester that we turned in, got feedback on and submitted all of it as we got through it, or as one big portfolio at the end of the year. Similarly, we got a single grade on the whole body of work.
Most of the house building I've seen happening around where I live in Scotland, has been on brown field sites.

My own house was built in 1885 and is a terraced cottage in an old coal mining town where mining stopped decades ago.

You, are actually advocating I forego this for a pod/apartment in some shitty city somewhere. Have you seen Glasgow or Edinburgh? They're literal shitholes.

Disingenuous people try to paint a picture that their pod living /isn't/ being trapped in a city. Which is simply a lie. These people are advocating for the WEF "you will own nothing, and you'll be happy" dystopia.

To which I say "No."

MirageOS is - similar to the latest OCaml release - only using a single CPU core. You can run multiple unikernels, one on each core. If doing that, you can use Xen vchan (shared memory), or TCP for marshalling.

Would you mind to elaborate which reasons you are thinking of?
During my physics degree we had relatively fine-grain evaluation - every module was examined and graded (e.g. /100) individually and the sum formed the basis of your degree. Some modules were compulsory, some you had one shot to pass (labs), some took an entire semester, some were half, etc. You could work out exactly how much of your degree an exam was worth, to the point that some people knew that they could sit out most of their final exams and still get a good degree.

With the exception of the dissertation and occasional paper-writing exercises in labs, there was always a correct answer and marks were normalised using a formula that a previous professor had invented. It was expedient to take the hardest courses (e.g. Gauge Theories of Particle Physics) because you would almost certainly be boosted up from the low class average, rather than "simple" ones where everyone did well. By the third year, homework was optional. You also wouldn't flunk a degree if you bombed a course.

Labs were universally hated for marking because it involved qualitative assessment (beyond "did you make the experiment work) and it was run by PhD students who each had wildly inconsistent criteria, despite presumably working from a rubric. I'm somewhat sympathetic because I've taught labs and a lot of students are just inept, but the grading system should really have been overhauled there.

Compare that to the English students in my cohort who had what we'd call a "doss" 1st year (worth 0%) and then in their second and third years might sit four essay exams that were worth 12.5% of their degree. As far as I know, some courses were 50/50 assessed/invigilated, but many were 100% examined.
And cities externalizing their problems to suburbia and ruralia, that’s just the way things have always been. Sure, ruralia cannot support vibrant and dynamic labor market, but cities cannot feed themselves, can’t get natural resources, and cannot even reproduce, fertility rates in cities being utterly abysmal, and depending on suburbia and ruralia to constantly replenish its human stock.

This kind of network of mutually codependent systems is just the way things are.
I know it's a typo, but I kind of like the idea of eco-chambers. It made me think of the Biosphere 2 project. I'd love to see somebody take another crack at that.

To answer your question - $1 million would fund two or three skilled people full time for a year. So the problem has to be relatively small. I'd maybe spend it on an ad blitz to try to find homes for dogs and cats currently in shelters in a small number of cities.
This video had me laughing a bit. I live in Kansas City and will fully admit it's not a model for anything good. But the shot of a Home Depot parking lot off of the Grandview Triangle as an example of my city? It's bogus. I live in a completely walkable neighborhood in Kansas City that is, essentially, the kind of
suburb this video claims to support. I can walk to a grocery store, several bars, coffee shops, restaurants, a library. All in five minutes. All from my 1930s construction home with a back yard and a two car garage.
> A scoring system for scholastic ability that disadvantages those that start off with little knowledge, even when they do well by the end of the course, is ridiculous on its face.

This is one reason I did poorly in school and eventually dropped out. Teachers chose (either independently or by arrangement) to weigh all grades equally, whether they were at the start of the class or the end. So if you did poorly at the start, you might as well give up, you'll never dig yourself out of that hole.
Absolutely not okay with it being the normal, if you have any ideas for solving the US guns problem, let me know.
The important part is earning more leads to paying more taxes. If you work the same job you'll earn more money while working 40hrs than working 20hrs. Where 40hrs is the standard, so in a general sense people working normal hours will pay more taxes than people working reduced hours.
So keep the cover up or you get fired? Yep that’s in the best public interest and the best moral stance.

There is a long-standing principle in system design: do not check for an error condition that you cannot do anything about. It is the responsibility of whoever is so equipped either to ensure that you cannot encounter such an error, or to have provided a path to deal with the error.

In C++ you can throw an exception, and count on anybody who cares to act on it, resolving the conflict.

Yes, Zoom is on their LEGAL rights to terminate the employee, but this is a stupid decision that shows that company is run by stupid obtuse lawyers and MBAs and doesn't give a damn about the technical side of things and the professional ethics of engineers.

>I sure do understand it, but I also understand that when it comes to comparing the environmental impact of upper middle class urbanites and suburbanites, we're splitting hairs

Yea that is not at all true. You can literally compare the CO2 per capita for an average American/Canadian and someone from Europe and in general they produce 1/3 of the CO2. It is not a negligible difference.

This is largely caused because of the urban designs which don't focus on gas dependent suburbia. Or the benefits from efficiency at scale which can only be achieved in high density living accommodations.

https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-pe...

It is also a plain fact that downtown urban blocks are the profit generators for cities whilst suburbia is largely a financial hole.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nw6qyyrTeI

You looking at a classist angle is I think an internal bias. There are poor/rich in both areas. It's just a straight fact though that suburban design is not sustainable both economically and ecologically.
You're discounting how much more of it there is. Living in Iowa, it's clear that rural areas cannot maintain their roads or bridges. By some measures, Iowa has the most structurally deficient bridges in the nation, with 90% of those bridges being in rural areas. Half of the bridges that are structurally deficient see an average of 35 cars across them per day. Iowa has around 14k miles of primary roads, and around 100k miles of gravel and dirt roads. Roughly 1/3rd of Iowa's population is rural at 1.1M people. Generally speaking, gravel roads cost more to maintain than paved roads because they need maintenance so much more often. Heavy rains and floods aren't uncommon out here, and they can be devastating to gravel infrastructure.

So you've got the rural 1/3rd of the population depending on 7x more roads and 20x more bridges than the urban population. If those folks actually bore the full cost of maintaining their own roads, I'd be willing to bet many of them would decide their rural lifestyle wasn't worth quite as much as they claimed.
German policy was out in la-la land. Politicians sold the public on green policies before the infrastructure was ready and heavily relied on imported non green energy to get there. They didn’t have to shut down their nuke plants, but ‘make happy’ led them down that path of dependence —just as most of the industrialized world is dependent on another questionable government for consumer goods and microelectronics. Offshoring is awesome for the ruling class until it isn’t.
Nice, I haven't seen this one. We've been using Dagger to get people off of runtime DI for migrating to serverless, but I'll take a look. I assume it's compile-time DI?

There we go, thanks. The most useful comment buried at the bottom.

I'm not in disagreement of the ethical issues pointed out by the top 20 top comments here. But I think it demonstrates how many people here are from the ivory tower of IT rather than the gutter like the rest of us enlisted IT folk. If industry could be trusted to self-regulate I'd be all uppity about supporting them, but they can't and I'm not.
If they're archetypes of historical patterns, it should be trivial to find examples from history rather than fiction, no?
I don't know how it's done in the USA, but in Germany voting by post has to be carried out before the day of the election. The actual postal votes are stored and only opened on the day of the election. After somebody send in their postal vote they can go to the public voting office and declare to invalidate their postal vote. The people counting the postal votes will get a list with invalidated votes and remove these envelopes before the votes are opened. The person who invalidated can then either do another postal vote or vote at the ballot box.

So in Germany postal voting is secured against selling votes.

More recently, there was a case where private parking owners would mandate a towing company to remove cars not belonging to "customers inside" within a few minutes and charge the owner illegally rather than contact the police dept. to have it towed following city regulations.

If you go outside the metro area, getting a towing is another story. Either you call a mechanic shop who has their own and will tow you in or it's an independent operator who'll come and tow you when they free up their schedule.

Electronic voting does not require centralization. Elections are administered at the county level.

This isn’t a rocket science problem. Best bet is to set mandatory requirements that machines must meet to get federal funding, let companies compete.

Security people tend to hand wave about election tally machines because it gets eyeballs. The reality is they work mostly fine, and the risks associated with them are usually more about process than nerd stuff.

That's what I thought. Well I thought - that is insurance. In the UK it is heavily regulated an I would quake at the thought of getting into it.
Imagine a course as teaching the content along a linear function from 0 to N understanding. With traditional grading we are effectively determining the area under the line for the given class, even though the goal of the class is to leave with a mastery of the content.

Consider two students, one whose education path in the course is exponential and the other whose path is logarithmic where both paths intersect at the end of the course. According to traditional grading the logarithmic student would score far better in the course despite their knowledge being equal to the other student by the end.

Which student would you rather be? who has more potential?

Should the body of a course be treated like a series of 100m sprints or a marathon, and what is the net positive outcome through each approach?
I've had courses that allow your grade on the final to replace your overall grade, if it ends up being higher.

This sounds like a fair compromise to me, if you know the material by the end of the course, then you've earned a good grade, regardless of how long it took you to get there.

At least in my experience, if the teacher wasn't grading at all the students would quickly pick up on it. It's easier to write a C paper than an A paper, and we would definitely have taken advantage of this. This was in a STEM major though where the majority of us are just looking to get the piece of paper that we can exchange for a 100k+ a year job, and not really looking to learn.

This time trade-off is the main reason that pushes me to still have a car despite living right next to a bus stop and having good light rail nearby. Sure, when I need to go all the way downtown its nice having the light rail so I don't have to deal with parking, but on day to day kind of trips adding the time of riding the bus is quite a tradeoff compared to just driving there myself.

This is before pointing out that while there are daycares, there are grocery stores, there are restaurants available easily by the bus or by bike, there are far more options readily available by car and maybe its not fun carrying a week's worth of food for a family with me on the bus. And then there are people I like to visit who don't live near public transit, so choosing to go without a car means I wouldn't be able to visit them regularly.

Owning and operating a car is definitely expensive. I could technically live my life without a car, its entirely feasible from my location. However the time, ease, and freedom tradeoffs make car ownership still make sense for me. I still ultimately prioritized living in an area with decent mass transit and love to take it when it makes sense. I know people who do rely on the public transit for every day transportation, and I'm happy they're able to visit me easily and I'm perfectly fine with subsidizing it.

EDIT: I just looked up a normal trip I take on Google Maps to double check transit times in comparison to driving. 10 minute drive. 30 minute bike ride. 1 hour bus trip. Another common trip: 10 minute drive, 30 minute bike ride, 30 minute bus ride. Even for the shorter one, that's 40 minutes round-trip not counting on waiting for the bus for a trip I normally do weekly. That's about 33 hours a year of extra waiting for just that one route.
Let's crunch the numbers:

- In the year ending March 2021 there were 41,000 instances of recorded knife crime in the UK.

- 224 deaths as a result of a stabbing in the same period.

- Since 1970 there have been 3,395 deaths (total) from any form of terrorism in the UK.

Source: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn04...

In the US:

- 19,384 deaths as a result of a shooting. (2020)

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

Sure, we have violence, but it's on a whole different level.
Active shooter training is one of the weird cultural phenomena that comes out of the US that I've only noticed fairly recently and so haven't been numbed to it yet.

Mass shootings are apparently treated not as symptom of an ininimal social environment or deficient access control to means but more like the inevitable change of weather. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
