>would have incentive to determine ability to repay.

It's a mixed bag. On one hand it should decrease costs and incentivize students into choosing better career plans (ie. not going to college just because), but it will also mean disadvantaged students won't be able to attend because their projected credit risk is so high.
Thank you. I was honestly thinking the Minish cap would be done (why I don't know). It sits at 89% complete while PD is at ~74% but I guess I am not drilling into what is actually left in each project. I CAN'T wait to see what will be done with the PD source code!
I'd strongly recommend working with others, e.g. by contributing to an open source project. It will help prepare you for professional environments far more than working in isolation on your own projects will.

The Switch, like all consoles, makes the bulk of its money from games sales. Thus if you’re only interested in free retro games then Nintendo are doing the right thing, financially speaking, by not catering to you’re specific requirements.

Like yourself, I’m a massive retro gamer but at the end of the day current generation consoles make their money from games licenses. So any support they throw in for older games is strictly a loss making fan service.

Right. A thing that only has upside (options, let's forget about extreme tax situations for now) can't have negative EV on it's own. The implication is that it's negative EV when factoring the opportunity cost.
I use different solvers for different things, depending on the type of problem to solve and the goal of solving the problem.

* MiniZinc is my favourite tool for prototyping models. Looking into the feasibility of using it in a roduction environment as well. Typically models are small to medium sized. Also using it for recreational problem solving (e.g., Advent of Code).

* Gecode is my go-to solver for writing applications where I need more control over the solving process or I want to write a custom propagator or heuristic. Used it for scheduling, planning, and configuration.

* When in the JVM ecosystem, I've used Choco.

* I've used OR-tools some, but would like to be better at it. Mainly because OR-tools has a nice set-up with a lazy clause generation solver, good automatic heuristics, and a nice portfolio solver for parallel work.

* Quite often, a custom optimization heuristic is also the right tool for the job.

I've tried to use Gurobi sometimes, but for the problems I've tried, it has either been to hard to model effectively or was not a good fit. The licensing cost is a limiting factor as well.
Ask HN: Real estate agents and personal data collection?
With high housing prices, there’s not shortage of real estate agents. The bar is very low to start one.

As a renter, you have to provide so much personal information and identity docs to (often many) real estate agents. Tech/security isn’t these peoples forte, and yet we trust them with troves of personal info.

Are there any solutions here? Or am I stuck with trusting random people with vast amounts of personal info?
Put some stuff up on GitHub that you can put on CV and apply for lots of jobs. At least some places will be desperate for coders and will
try quite hard to see if you are remotely suitable, certainly for more junior positions.

Not strictly programming but perhaps a useful gateway drug: how about learning the dark arts of AWS management? Massively useful, non-obvious, well-structured and with ample learning material, it gives potential employers, certainly smaller firms, a good reason to hire you. If you’re a coder with unclear track record, hmm, but if on top of that you’re good at cloud setup wrangling, that’s a win.

It’s what I’m considering doing every now and then, anyway.

Another approach, slightly cheeky but whatever, is to make a blog with at least 20-odd entries (I know, it’s not nothing), but backdate the posts, so it looks like you’ve been doing it for a while. Maybe add some comments from a few “dedicated readers”. It’s not really misleading, anyone looking at your blog would mostly care about the content, but creates more of an impression of continuity (which it sounds like you have, just not documented).
Just go on Upwork and respond to jobs you are comfortable with and give low ball offers, and an explanation that you are skilled english speaking person with experience that wants to built a recent / modern portfolio which is why you are taking cheap work.

Then register, yourname.dev and post the work their with a resume or something similar and a little bit about you etc.

You can put the work on github if that's applicable as well.

Add a few side projects interfacing with API's as well. Just pulling basic data and manipulating it a little bit. Provide working demos and the code on your site.

Explain that most of your coding knowledge was learned through the Department Of Corrections inmate education program and the 20 yr gap in your work history is because you owed a debt to society.

I wouldn't want diagnostic data, system performance data, audio visualization or anything like that in a holographic display. But an interactive 3d holographic display would be fantastic for mapping information with topographical data, or anything mapping to the real world. The most intuitive environment is the real world which is three dimensional, tactile and responsive, so representing that abstractly can only be done fully granularly and intuitively in a 3 dimensional environment. Trying to do other things in three dimensions just doesn't make a lot of sense and usually you're right, they're selling something unnecessary and counterproductive.

They decided to shut down two nuclear power plants, then reversed the decision due to putin's war.

So they can make big inroads into their static gas consumption by rolling with that and shutting down some or all of their gas power stations instead... it seems they have options to trim their usage to the point they can prepare for winter without funding their own security threat.

I think those are the sorts of things you learn on the job, especially if you get an internship or graduate position. It's more about getting that first foot in the door.

I didn't know anything about CI or CD when I graduated.

If you're interested:

* Get familiar with Git (just the basics - clone, checkout, log, add, commit, diff).
* Basic bash commands / GNU tools. Are you familiar with Ubuntu? You could try installing it and playing around in the terminal.

Beyond that companies can have pretty different deployment processes with varying degrees of custom solutions. It's kind of expected you'll have to learn their way of deploying code.

If they're into C#/Microsoft stuff, man that's like a black box to me and I have no clue haha.

You could also read a bit about SCRUM and Kanban. They are, I don't know what you'd call them, "project/product management methodologies"? Both are pretty common.

But I wouldn't fret too much - you can drive yourself mad thinking you need to know everything upfront. If you're honest about your skill level, they'll have honest expectations, and can help you learn anything you need to know along the way.
The problem is that it's just not true, when formulated in that way.
>also regressive stimulus are not even a thing. maybe you're thinking of regressive taxes?

Regressive taxes favor the rich over the poor. By "regressive stimulus" I'm presuming he's talking about stimulus that favors the rich (eg. well off layers/doctors with high student loan debt but high earning potential) over people with modest student loans but low earning potential.
GCM is not without it's own pitfalls though, however.

municipal "wifi" / last-mile point to multipoint wireless service in unlicensed bands is a technological dead end, and can't match the capacity of a wireline based DOCSIS3 cable operator, let alone a GPON or active ethernet based fiber plant.

the only thing that municipal run wireless services do is serve to sour people on the concept of municipal run network infrastructure, because almost inevitably they're flakier, slower, and less reliable than the existing terrestrial based for profit ISPs in the area.

show me a single municipal run wireless operator today that can match the speeds of a LTE/3gpp based MU-MIMO last mile with carrier aggregation.

skip the wireless part and go straight to fiber.

> Growth functions are inherently/fundamentally exponential but the forces that act on the exponent change over time

By this standard, every function is “fundamentally exponential”.

You can plot literally any (strictly positive, differentiable) function on a log scale and find the slope at every point. BAM! Look, an exponent (changing over time)!

> Charging storage, later, from overprovisioned renewable capacity, or connecting to the power grid and selling on the open market, converts overproduction to income.

Except we have no way of building grid scale storage. Again, we have a few minutes of storage. Until then, wind and solar is really wind, solar, and fossil fuels. We have no plan to get rid of the fossil fuels until a storage breakthrough occurs.

> To see what later copies of existing nukes cost, we need look no further than Vogtle.

Like I said: building one power plant of a given design is way more expensive than building repeated copies of the same design. There were dozens of nuclear projects that had a cost to energy production ratio of less than a fifth of Vogtle.
Very interesting! Now would it have the same effect in humans? Would be interesting.

I see no reason to downvote this... weren't LGBTQ people arguing for the longest time that there is a biological causation? They may have finally found it, though it is not genetic like they hoped for. Either way it is interesting.

Uber afaik runs at a relative high loss at the moment. You'll find a bunch of articles on this topic by searching for their last quarters report.

As far as I understandincrease in interest rates could make them running at a profit hard/ very unlikely in the future because covering high-interest loans will become hard. Further, it potentially could limit their cashflow, which impacts growth etc.

Many other factors, such as new investemnts or a decrease in individual travel, could influence this too of course. Though for a growth-centric company a limit on credit seems to be one of the harshest limitations.

I don't know why anyone is surprised. The edgy subreddits (many of which were toxic cesspools) all warned everyone as they got banned, but people cheered as it happened. Finally the baddies were gone. It was never going to be limited to just them.

On another note, I do not understand why all these banned subreddits that try to migrate to their own site always try to create their own software. the_donald did it famously and created an absolute clusterfuck of a website (and community). There are so many options, there's open source old reddit, there's federating varieties like Lemmy and littr.me (a good choice if you want to run a single community), why reinvent the wheel? If you want to move to an environment like reddit where everyone can interact, but give community moderators full control over their communities, a federated architecture is the way to go, and there are a couple of solutions that work out of the box.

Quotations marks imply a quote or a refernce to a term / phrase. When you deliberate misquote someone and then repeat that all over the thread as the basis for your argument, that is a strawman at best and pure bad faith at worst.

I used iSCSI with iPXE back in the day to boot a whole network (~120 machines) of Windows boxes. It was served on a single server by a RAID 10 array of 15k SCSI disks built on Debian. Good times; I'd forgotten about that! iSCSI was solid even with Windows, so you know it's good.
Him making a false claim would be insurance fraud, but if it's bought on a loan and there's an insurance policy favoring the bank, then the bank definitely can and will make a claim - it's just that the insurance company will then attempt to recover the money from this pilot since he's at fault, and is likely to succeed.

Depends on the kind of job you're going for; I don't think there's a single "general programming" project that would win people over regardless of the role

Based on what you've mentioned, sounds like you're a web person? Maybe back-end or full-stack?

I've heard people say a CMS is a good baseline "I can do web dev" project. It's a CRUD app, but one of moderate complexity which involves some interesting problems. Demonstrates full-stack skills, and also leaves room to tune it to your particular strengths (front-end ninja? do a fancy SPA; back-end focused? do it all server-rendered with some Bootstrap styles and maybe have it support multiple databases or something. etc.)

But in general: if possible, do projects that are specific to the job you want (if getting a job is the goal of them)

Toyota delivered 2148k vehicles in Q1: https://global.toyota/pages/global_toyota/ir/financial-resul...

Tesla delivered 310k vehicles in Q1: https://tesla-cdn.thron.com/static/IOSHZZ_TSLA_Q1_2022_Updat...

310 is 14.4% of 2148, and it implies an annualised rate of 1240k per year.
Tesla production and deliveries are growing exponentially, Toyota deliveries are shrinking.
Last year in Q1 toyota delivered much less compared to 2020 and while this year it’s recovering it’s still delivering 170k less cars in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2020.
Tesla just opened two new factories and this can feasibly double its capacity by next year.

I'm not sold on holographic displays at all. We've been displaying 3 dimensional data on 2 dimensional planes ever since after the middle ages. It works very well. Arguably better, because it let's the user (or the one presenting) "collapse" one dimension.

It is also easier to manipulate, you only turn the object. On a holographic display, you have to turn your head and turn the object. Even worse, if multiple persons are looking at it, you don't see the same thing.

It's not just advertising. Once you join the company, they tout how Agile they are to themselves while still doing Scrumfall. And if you protest on the grounds of Scrumfall not being in line with the Manifesto, you could be fired for not being Agile enough.
