This is a slippery slope though. This effectively turns universities into career-training centers. Eventually enrollment in less-profitable subjects, like dance and art, will decrease, forcing colleges to drop it from their programming.

Then suddenly we have a society that does not appreciate art or dance or whatever other subjects were dropped.

This is the slippery slope - creditors get to decide what others know and learn and pay attention to. Knowledge is no longer widely available - the experts (professors) might still teach at a college, but will be forced to either pivot or leave when the university slashes their programs. They could teach privately or for free, but I am guessing the number of students who they would normally teach drops significantly.
I know how to write by hand too, but I still often use word processor software.
In my opinion, nothing about big-O and related omega, theta, etc, is at all strict.

Maybe I value "pure symbolic clairty" too much. I do see a very pragmatic usefullness to the complexity notation.
This risk doesn't seem worth it. You are playing CPS roulette. Even if 9/10 CPS agents are going to make the right decisions, that's a 10% chance of having some kind of issue with CPS. If I recall correctly, people have had their kids taken over stuff like this.

I think if this is such a big deal ( I think it is too) you should move out of the city. That's just too big to gamble with.

Domain labels cannot contain @. If you support comments or quoted strings (e.g. (@)."@"@example) then you can get multiple at signs in an address, but in practice their only use these days is attacks where you confuse a badly-written server, which is part of why the web actively decided to disallow them.

When I first moved to San Francisco I walked from 10th & Mission to Bessie Carmichael School at 7th & Folsom then took MUNI to Commodore Stockton Elementary in Chinatown every weekday. That was in first grade in 1972. At the time SOMA was an extremely bad place, the TL was the same and HP was a place you didn't go if you had light skin (except for MLB & NFL games).

I find that having that autonomy as a child is what has lead me to not be fearful of most things.

btw - not that it's ok, but people exposing themselves has been around for a long time. I've experienced it myself as a child.
You still need your tests to cover all possible errors (or at least all plausible errors). If you try random numbers and your prime happens to be close to a power of two, evenly distributed random numbers won't end up outside the [0,n-1] range you are supposed to validate. Even if your prime is far enough from a power of two, you still won't hit zero by chance (and you need to test zero, because you almost certainly need two separate pieces of code to reject the =0 and >=n cases).

Another example is Poly1305. When you look at the test vectors from RFC 8439, you notice that some are specially crafted to trigger overflows that random tests wouldn't stumble upon.

Thus, I would argue that proper testing requires some domain knowledge. Naive fuzz testing is bloody effective but it's not enough.
Bankruptcy and Restructuring are in place for people that make tremendously bad financial decisions...

All of this seems like a problem of leverage: the government's fiscal policy encouraged people to be levered up, then the fed's monetary policy allowed people to be levered up.

The "value" for any given thing (housing, college) remains similar, but more leverage for everybody means that same thing gets proportionally more expensive.

I don't see any way out of this except for popping the debt bubble.
Irrelevant. Bankruptcy wipes all of the unsecured debt.

Student loans are unsecured.
State machine replication, and why you should care
There were a couple other things with a few more dollars allocated in Build Back Better, if I recall, perhaps worthy of more criticism than community college for everyone. Anyway, I wonder how much of the student loan debt is from community college, both as total dollar figure and per borrower. Something tells me that in-state tuition for community college isn’t where all the underwater borrowers went to school.
There are variations, that's what we learned back at Uni. Expected O(f(n)), average O(f(n)), amortised O(f(n)), even expected amortised O(f(n)). "Expected" implied a randomised algorithm.
This isn't the first time "tunneling" has appeared on HN, nor the first that it intersected with the techy/hacker community.

There was the case where a hacker who gave talks at Defcon built a tunnel, and paid someone to continue the work. The worker died and he went to prison [1]. There was some discussion about this case on HN in 2019 [2], and a Darknet Diaries episode about the whole multi-year scenario [3].

Yeah, Netflix is already a gold mine for me as a language learner.

As the average quality of their English language has, imo, decreased, the fact that I can easily find good content in other languages is a big selling point.
In school, we used big O notation for all cases. I've never heard about theta or omega notation.

Wikipedia's bubble sort page -- as an example -- also uses it for all cases.

Working for a pretty big corporation (20000ish employees), the reason for this I hear from our IT/Workplace Services team is that Apple laptops actually integrate with the existing Windows-centric IT infra reasonably well with regards to account management, hdd encryption, endpoint protection, etc. This is not true for really any flavor of Linux, or so I'm told.
So it's either a HP ZBook or a Macbook, and a big chunk of our devs go with the Macbook when those are the choices.
Have you ever been to a FAANG office ?

Or anything in San Francisco for that matter, in my time in PayPal only one dude in the whole office had a windows machine
My example was about the accuracy of a statement, it seems the conversation should more often be about accuracy instead of deflection. Or if the accuracy was undermined by indoctrination then the conversation should be about why its not accurate and why that would be clouded by indoctrination.

And even in your Scientology analogy, I think there are limited similarities because you are talking about scientology often to scientologists? Do you get into those kind of conversations? If you're not getting into those kind of conversations than thats just an ad hominem attack which is a very poor form of argument and also meets one of the Oxford definitions of ignorant ( informal - discourteous or rude; west indies - angry or quick-tempered.) These are traits to avoid, pejoratives.
Good. Accelerate and force the "everyone must go to college" issue. Revert it to scholarship-only (plus the rich dunces who can afford full tuition).
Computer scientists stole some notation from mathematicians, but then slightly changed and substantially slackened the definition...

I switched to MacPorts when Homebrew moved on from macOS Mojave... now I wish I had done so much sooner!
OP describes systems which seed tests with non-determinism to catch users who write tests relying on undefined behavior, such as order of equal elements. Writing tests against these systems is a game changer (once you figure out what’s going on and why there are flakes). I’m a huge fan of this subtle change which has spared me at least one bug. It also allows library authors to gain the advantage of not accidentally producing a behavior that induces Hyrum’s law. Kudos to the team for making this work at scale.

> I think kids are just staying inside and playing with electronics more too. But why are they doing that? Is the neighborhood not stimulating enough?

Well, that one is easy: their parents permit it. The rule in my home was simple: if you start a video game, you also start a 30 minute egg timer. If you forgot the timer and got caught, you lost the privilege for a week. The egg timer could be upgraded to an hour if I was getting good grades, but the thought of playing games for several hours a day was almost inconceivable. I only got away with that when I was home alone.

Sometimes when I was feeling mopey and started complaining about being bored my mother would get sick of it and yell at me "GO BE BORED OUTSIDE"
I found it extremely annoying when I went to the doctor in the UK and they asked what my race was. First because my racial background is nobody’s business and it’s an information that historically has only be used against me. Second because, if it is a scientific and relevant fact, a doctor should be able determine it without my uneducated opinion.

After more than 10 years, I came to accept it as an almost innocuous quirk of the English-speaking mind, something akin to the Italians complaining about pineapple pizza.
That's hardly the only option. They could simply lock the accounts in question without vanishing all data associated with them. This is how bans have historically worked. The Twitter approach of hiding everything is a counterproductive anomaly.

I really like the keyboard and touchpad, more so than on a Mac (but that's very personal). The RAM can be upgraded to 40 GB, and there is a second M.2 slot if you want disk mirroring or striping.

I run Fedora and have zero problems. (I generally upgrade 3 months after a release.)

The model that I have has a 72 Wh battery and newer 17 and 16 inch models now come with an 80 Wh battery. Mine is 3 years old now and it's aged much better than I expected. I can watch a 4K movie over a network CephFS mount and after 2 hours, my battery is at 80%.

I bought it on a whim at Costco, and I seriously think I'll get another one next time (maybe a 16"). Costco drops the prices to $350-$400 off every few months, and they're a steal for what you get.

This seems relevant wrt Purism 14: https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/my8u2l/psa_librem_1...
`join` isn't so bad -- you are connecting two tables based on a common value.

If you have `person` and `address`:

create table person (
id serial primary key,
first_name text not null,
last_name text not null,
date_of_birth date not null
);

create table address (
id serial primary key,
person_id integer not null references person (id),
street_number text not null,
apartment_number text,
city text not null,
state text,
postal_code text not null
);

Then you'd join using `person.id` to `address.person_id`. An inner join hides rows from the joining table if there is no corresponding row in the joined-to table, while an outer join includes rows from the joining table if there are no corresponding rows in the joined-to table.

If we've got:

insert into person (first_name, last_name, date_of_birth)
values ('Brian', 'Kernighan', '1950-01-01'), -- gets id 1
('Dennis', 'Ritchie', '1948-01-01'); -- gets id 2

insert into address (person_id, street_number, city, postal_code)
values (1, '123 Main St.', 'Berkeley', '94701');

Then these two queries will return one and two rows, respectively:

-- an inner join, only returns `person` rows with a corresponding
-- row in the `address` table
select person.first_name,
person.last_name,
address.street_number,
address.city,
address.postal_code
from person
inner join address on person.id = address.person_id
-- output:
-- first_name | last_name | street_number | city | postal_code
-- Brian | Kernighan | 123 Main St. | Berkeley | 94701

-- a left outer join, returns all `person` rows, regardless of
-- the existence of a corresponding row in the `address` table
select person.first_name,
person.last_name,
address.street_number,
address.city,
address.postal_code
from person
left outer join address on person.id = address.person_id

-- output:
-- first_name | last_name | street_number | city | postal_code
-- Brian | Kernighan | 123 Main St. | Berkeley | 94701
-- Dennis | Ritchie | | |

One important thing to know is if you are joining to multiple tables, and there are multiple corresponding rows (i.e., a `favorite_food` table with three rows per person, and a `favorite_color` table with three rows per person), you will get _multiplicative_ data -- `n_favorite_foods * n_favorite_colors` rows will be returned per person! This is where things like `group by` and `distinct` come into play.

There are other types of joins, but these two are the usual suspects in most queries.
Risks number 1 by far is cars. They get more than enough adults. Even if kids practice waiting for lights or looking both ways, drivers are nuts and toddlers are not very visible.
The lenders would be more choosy as to who they give money to. (Kinda like the mortgage crisis)

There should be a situation where a lender refuses to give a prospective student $125k towards an education that would never result in repayment due to the available jobs from that type of education.

You're absolutely correct. The people in my life who are the most vocal about loan forgiveness treated their time at university like a party, but that is not a representative sample.

If it really goes pear-shaped we can reintroduce the invasive mosquito species from its native areas.

It was originally supposed to have a raised track to isolate the high-speed rail from jumpers and to avoid street crossings. That project was dropped. The segments in SF and LA will use commuter tracks (e.g. existing CalTrain) and run at a maximum of half the speed it obtains in the long Central Valley segments. Given the trouble that Caltrain has with clearing and keeping people and foreign objects off the tracks, I sincerely doubt that even that speed (110mi/h) could be achieved safely.

This is a faster-than-CalTrain-but-that's-not-saying-much rail connection from SF to the Central Valley, a bullet train down to Bakersfield, and then a similarly slow trek into LA.
I mean YouTube forces you to sit through some ads (sometimes they let you skip them), I suspect lots of people would be happy to skip the unstoppable ones by muttering the company name.

If it only becomes for the rich, that's a problem. If it only is for those who can earn merit scholarships (plus a smattering of rich flunkies to pay the bills), is that necessarily a problem?
In theory, sure - but even Singapore hasn't been around long enough to witness what happens when the 99 year lease is finally up. In a market of housing shortage, there would be strong pressure on the government to keep extending the lease to keep the limited housing stock around, at least in an American context.
Hard disagree. The Obama administration drastically altered federal student loans worked, end-to-end. One of the largest changes was to get the DoE directly into the market of lending and holding student loan debt. Cutting out servicers like Navient, and costing them tons of money in lost subsidies and essentially nationalizing the industry.

Policies such as Public Search Loan Forgiveness, Pay as You Earn (PAYE), Perkins Loan cancellation, and several others were part of the Student Aid Bill of Rights. Having the government hold student loan debt is foundational to making these policies work.

This was a key policy platform of the Obama administration. It's less widely known about, compared to ACA, but still an important one. And this is probably the reason that it's been a day-one policy issue for the Biden administration.
It’s already illegal for you to sing a copyrighted song in front of a group of people. If you hear a Taylor Swift song and memorize it, then later sing it in front of a sufficiently large group of people I believe that is illegal.

Now I don’t actually think intellectual property restrictions are good. I think they are quite harmful. But as long as they exist I don’t like the idea of big companies trampling over the IP rights of small creators. People currently depends on those rights. One of the reasons I want to see a large public dataset of explicitly licensed images is that if OpenAI is required to do this, they would have to spearhead a new culture of openness to get enough data. Imagine if they encouraged twitter to add a license option and then simultaneously encouraged users to add alt text and to license images with an open license! This would be a boon to people with sight disability who require alt text and it would expand a visual commons of openly licensed data. Instead we have one company making a big dataset full of copyrighted images (sharing something online does not waive copyright). I think a model based on explicit consent is healthier for everyone in society.

I actually love vegemite in very small quantities, like really thin and not even fully covering toast.

Side rant (though somewhat similar to colpabar's reply):

The Democrats tried to govern like they had a large majority, when they had 5 (I think) seats in the House, and a 50/50 Senate. Of course it failed! If you need every single vote, you can only go as far as the least-willing member will let you go.

The Democrats never should have tried to govern that way. They should have been coalition building, trying to find some common ground where they could do some things. Instead, they acted like they could dictate their agenda to Congress. Both Biden and Pelosi should have known better; they have decades of experience in Congress.

Why did they do this? You could argue that they did it because they knew that no Republican would ever cooperate on anything. But if that was the reason, they still should have gone for what they could get through the members they had, not going for the moon.

Or you could suspect that they wanted to blame the Republicans (and maybe the more conservative Democrats) for their lack of progress, as a tactic to win the next election. Well, from all the indications so far, that's not working out for them.

So why did they take the approach they took?
I think you are mistaken here. The concept of worst/best/amortized case is different from O/Theta/Omega. The latter is about the direction with which it is bounding.

Big O/Theta/Omega denotes sets of functions, and each of them can be applied to best/worst/amortized complexity analysis.

There is a weird number of people in the replies here arguing for strange things like a fundamental right to life for individual mosquitos, against brushing teeth, in favor of preserving invasive species, in favor of the naturalistic fallacy, that diminishing the population of a particular species violates the consent of humans in the area where that species lives, etc.
