> I use to feel contempt for people really proud of graduating college. The actual college courses were all pretty easy compared to the difficulties of the rest of life at the same time - caring for family members, scraping together rent, etc. Someone proud of graduating college when all they had to do in the 4 years was study was upsetting to me.

>

> I have a more mature perspective now, you never know what struggles people have and the courses are really tough for a lot of people.

Well done on you! I occasionally run into past versions of you. They usually dismiss my BSc degree and my MSc degree with an attitude that is similar to:

"I learned real lessons at the school of hard knocks. While you were partying with your college friends and memorising useless theory, I was making ends meet and learning practical programming by actually doing it."

Truth is, I've never been to f/time university. After school I (very briefly) apprenticed as a auto mechanic for a short while, then left to work in a factory assembly-line (12-hour shifts, all night-shift, 7 days a week) for a little more peanuts than an apprenticeship paid.

I used almost all of my meagre income to pay for part-time university (work at night, study+sleep during the day). Halfway through my second-year courses I finally caught a break and got a job as a computer-lab assistant at a nearby university.

It wasn't actual programming work (show new students how to log in, refill printers with paper, help students who destroyed or lost their access cards, etc), but it left me a lot of free time to waste on usenet, which is where I found my first actual programming job.

I don't narrate my origin story to those past versions of yourself, though. There's no point. Their self-identity includes their own bootstrapping story about how degrees are pointless.

They declined because only developers working at Fortune 500's get to pay for software.

The Internet is broken too, we've been slowly lulled into a scenario where there are first-class and second-class and even third class netizens, and the third class, I'd not even consider as having an Internet connection.

First class netizens are publicly routable nodes with statically allocated IP addresses. These have real, honest Internet connections, they get to participate in the global community of humans and their beloved machined.

The second class is like the first but the service provider has imposed restrictions on their ability to communicate freely with other machines, such as blocking any packets they may send on specific protocols and ports, notably, TCP port 25, meaning these people cannot send their own email.

The third class is like the second, but they do not have statically allocated IP addresses, they therefore cannot reliably and consistently participate in the global community and must jump some amount of hoops to even participate in a limited way.

There is a hidden fourth class too, these cannot be considered as having a connection to the Internet, they cannot participate, only passively consume existing services, their machines are not connected to the internet, but another network, and their service-provider will just barely allow them to make requests to services on the real Internet, but it will not route any new connections to them, they are cut off and isolated, the silent majority. And this is where the brokenness of the Internet truly shines. This mode of connection should be illegal, and hiding yourself in this way should be an active choice on the part of the individual, not imposed by their "service provider".

I have about ten academic papers that are accessible online for free, so I tried a vanity search. The Internet Archive has indexed one of those papers; Unpaywall has none.
'print' is a global function that can be overridden by user code. The most obvious way to do this would be to define a new function named 'print', but it could also be overridden through less direct means, like from an 'eval' call, manually manipulating the global variables mapping ('globals()'), or by manipulating the '__builtins__' mapping. Maybe this happens in another thread!

Statically reasoning about all this (as would be required for optimization) is difficult. Not totally impossible, but not something that the canonical CPython implementation tries to do.
In that sense, you don't own your body either: At any time, the government could send goons to shoot you or jail you or harvest your kidneys. Even if you leave the country, they could put a bounty on your head or send assassins.

Sure, there's courts and laws, but they pick the judges and can choose to change the laws. They could pass a constitutional amendment tomorrow giving themselves the right to harvest your kidneys, the same way local counties can pass a law at any time raising your property taxes.

And, even if you argue that you have rights under the current government, empires don't last forever. 300 years from now, who's to say barbarians won't be ransacking the house you left to your kids? In that sense, your rights are only contingent on the barbarians being too scared to attack, and not absolute.

So if your argument is, "You can't own a house because the government could take it away", it seems like you have no hope and no possible policy change would give you any "true rights" to anything.
Thank you. Although I expect luck and some hard work will be required to complete

Are you mistaking Rust for some other language? Error handling in Rust is mostly just using the `?` operator.

That’s a sweeping comparison. I’ve visited both and my take would be that Europeans have a higher standard of living than Americans. But that’s just a hunch, I’d be interested to see a breakdown by specific metric and class.

In this case, we're mostly talking about drug dealers who have been prosecuted and convicted-- and ultimately released, no longer living in San Francisco.

The city attorney (not the DA-- another official who handles civil matters for the city rather than criminal ones) sought to keep these people out of the portions of the city where drug dealing is most endemic.

But, this turns out not to be legal-- with no legislative support and with it all being post-conviction, combined with it being large in scope compared to similar civil protective orders.
> Non-essential surgeries tend to have longer wait times (such as hip replacements in elderly people)

Something ridiculous like 70% of lifetime healthcare spending in the US occurs in the last two years of a person's life (half-remembered number from like 10 years ago). The uncomfortable truth is that we spend way too much on hail-mary treatments for people who are almost certainly going to die, and too much on useless shit like knee replacements for the elderly, and far too little on the earlier stages of their life. But nobody wants to tell the elderly "no" because they vote.

Obamacare had the right idea with "death panels". A lot of treatments that happen near the end aren't medically justified by quality-adjusted years-of-life or similar metrics. And that money comes out of the healthcare of younger people, whom the US treats like shit compared to the elderly. Because they don't vote.

But nobody likes the optics of "pulling the plug on grandma".
A real jewel.
It's wild. Single family houses are being listed at $2M-$3M and going for $1M over asking. And the houses would often be considered fairly modest anywhere else in the country.

I imagine a lot of buyers can afford this by selling their existing homes. Or perhaps they socked away a huge nest egg during after an IPO or over the duration of the stock market run up.

But new homebuyers would need to earn about $750k+/year for the foreseeable future for this to make financial sense. That could be a risky wager over the next few years.

> I've heard similar things about Azure AD B2C

As someone who works with Azure B2C on day to day basis, I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. It's a shitshow. It's impossible to maintain, heavily obfuscated by policies being xml instead of code, with weird naming everywhere. Very, very limited in what it can do and how(try making somewhat of a 'switch' statement). It usually ends up being a Frankenstein of copy-pasted sample policies from their Github that barely work. Debugging is a nightmare, logging to App Insights in production shouldn't be used(it requires 'Development mode') and even if it would, logs it produces are terrible and usually say nothing, with most errors being 'Internal Server Error' and nothing else. UI is also very 90s-like and to fully customize requires a ton of jquery and magic strings hardcoded everywhere. To customize emails in any way you still have to pay for Sendgrid anyway. I genuinely hate the experience.
For many, not all, and for those it is the usual RC<RefCell<>> dance.

The fun fact is, that when Purism write convergence, they‘re after what Canonicals' Ubuntu Touch (which sadly is not mentioned at all in the post) meant with Convergence and what Microsoft called "Continuum":

Plugging your phone into a laptop dock or a monitor, keyboard + mouse and be able to use it as a "proper Computer". This requires "convergent apps" which change menus and sometimes even add features when they are run on a larger canvas of pixels. It's supposed to be even more in one device.
If you dare challenge your current preconceptions, I'd suggest reading what real modern prophets have recently said about the topic:

Netflix had great streaming tech years before anyone else did. I wonder why they decided that the right move was to compete on content. If they had just set up a platform where any content provider could sell their content (on a monthly or one-off basis) for a small cut like 15%, they might have become the default "TV store."
The plan is to charge corporations and governments... They're definitely stupid enough to pay!
My key takeaways:

1. When I say "as backwards compatible as possible," I mean that this website will be usable on as many browsers, connections, and hardware as I can reasonably support

2. Raw HTML is Your Friend Remember the <FONT> tag? And <TABLE> based layouts? What about <CENTER>? I do

3. I won't go into the technical details here (Low Tech Magazine does a far better job explaining it than I can), but the thing to know is that dithering allows you to reduce the filesize of your images by reducing the amount of information it takes to render them

4. OldWeb.Today The most frequently used tool in my arsenal, oldweb.today is a website that allows you to emulate a number of different retro browsers (from NCSA Mosaic to Netscape Navigator) from directly within your own browser

I practice a lot of these things on my website locserendipity.com, and the associated search engine, which is the only one that you can download with a working index, albeit it is limited to only around a million entries.

This experimental search engine indexes all of the .edu pages on DMOZ circa 2010. It also has a local index: https://locserendipity.com/edu.html?q=amateur%20radio
Overvalued is a fundamentals statement.

It is not a prediction on future prices.

If someone buys an asset for $100B that yields one penny per year with no growth - it is safe to say it's overvalued / a speculative investment. It does not mean that someone won't buy it for $200B tomorrow.
The culture is more accepting of LGBTQ these days, so people are more likely to admit it. It's that simple - there's no need to try and psychoanalyze millions of people based on your political ideology.

In the legal perspective, none of that matters. If the artifact can be definitively proven to have belonged to X, and they were robbed, then it belongs to X regardless of who's done anything in the meantime. That's the legal answer here. The same is true of real property, or a stereo. It belongs to the person it originally belonged to, before it was stolen.

Morally, it's debatable. Legally, it's straightforward, a stolen item does not become un-stolen with time, nor does the claim of the original owner diminish. Morally that's not how people think, but legally that's how it works.

The British Museum argument does not work for plebians. It's not "yours" just because you kept it for 100 years. Nor is it the next person's because they didn't know it was stolen.

The British Museum only works for the British because they were a god-ordained royal family that controlled an empire spanning the globe, then a nuclear-armed imperial power. It was based on the rather debatable legal theory of "try and stop us". It's increasingly recognized that it's unjust and seems increasingly likely that it will be dissolved sometime in the next hundred years. Because yeah, the same arguments apply to shit the British looted as shit the Nazis looted. It's not theirs. Maybe some countries will be willing to loan them back on a permanent basis though.
Population of the US is effectively flat over the last two years. In California it actually declined.

You mention physical electronics. After the raspberry pi wave I dabbled into electronics, thinking I would have an easy time, boy was I wrong :) There are so many things even for the tiniest circuit. And yeah even soldering is a sophisticated piece of knowledge with moving parts everywhere (alloy, flux, iron, board geometry and layers, ground planes) and you quickly get a sense of: I need to KNOW how to solve this good and fast. Not just "just use that tool and maybe it will work". It went to the point of rewiring how I approach software.
I expected the article to actually calculate it and not just give the answer.

They chose quantity/cheaper over quality/expensive. The problem with this approach is that people don't stick around for low quality shows.

It would have been more expensive for the immediate term to spend more on shows and earn less profits. But now, they spend less and lose even more.

Once they are on this downward spiral, its going to be really hard to compete with Disney. Netflix may really go the Blockbuster way.
It's also ironic that the original engineering culture at google was explicitly breaking away from this type of pennalistic shaming culture, and was seen as a big factor in the initial success.
I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound credible. You wouldn't let potential newbies write an important part of your infra. Plus a credible school has more than enough software developers. Might it have been the other way around, that the people who actually wrote the system have designed assignments that are based on their experience? That's something I sometimes did when I held classes: nothing gets you closer to a realistic real-world practice problem than the one you just solved yourself

How many people in this day have actually decided "Hey, I want to be in this one house for the rest of my life."; moreover how many are actually presented with that option? I live in a boom town so I can't really say one way or another, but it strikes me that very few people born of recent generations have the impetus or place enough faith in the systems they're reliant on to yield the security necessary for that sort of commitment - and it's not a new development, and it's not necessarily specific to my locale, but is rather a shift in principals of business and government.

So while I understand your argument I'm reticent to accept it on the basis of the concerns mentioned above. Settling down permanently is not the same proposition it was fifty years ago. My grandma grew up in Denver, the rapidity that it grew with was apparently astounding and that growth drastically altered the culture and the landscape, what were once dirt roads are now median-divided 3-lanes with cookie cut houses lining them as far as the eye can see. If you can imagine not wanting to live there with the rapidly accelerating growth and the headaches that come with it, you're not alone.

There are also economic concerns, which can be highly unpredictable, and these are considerations I'm sensitive to. I've watched commodity fluxuations result in massive layoffs time and time again. When given the requisite information to make a decision on whether or not to sell, it's plain to see that it's a benefit to have pricing steadily increasing, whether it's to avoid the wave of sells when an industry reels back or shutters, or when one is intent on moving to greener pastures, or at least a better home in a more agreeable neighborhood.

I'd pay taxes which, given the parent statements terms, would roughly equivocate them with asset price insurance before I stuck my neck out to get burned or blown up.
For some schizophrenic reason, when I look at GAT proposals or macros, I rather be dealing with C++ code.

? If the US puts X/100000 people in prison per year, and country B puts 1.1X/100000 people in prison per year... but the US imprisons people for 5x as long, then the US incarceration rate would be 4x higher, even though country B puts people in prison more often.
They had to. Consumers don't care about streaming tech; in their eyes all the services are the same levels of fine. They do care about content and once content producers started rolling their own streaming services, cutting Netflix out, and pulling their content, they had to do something to keep their shelves looking stocked.
It seems to be fixed now. It would be fascinating to read an analysis of what exactly leads to the bug.

I read about the change several months before and migrated from a OnePlus 5 to a Pixel 3a.

I am on an MVNO, so I ultimately decided to migrate back to Verizon. The only reason that I was on AT&T at all was a larger diversity of supported devices. VoLTE has really put an end to that for me, as I'm on LineageOS.
That is not correct.

In the UK, there is a concept of Freehold and Leasehold. In the former case you own the land under and everything built on it. In most of the country you buy the Freehold.

The Leasehold gives you ownership of the building but not the land under it. You lease the land from the owner. I've personally considered this form of "ownership" a trap. It has become more common in recent years as a way for sellers to screw buyers. Particular in the London area where demand is always extra high.
The sooner we collectively decide that housing shouldn't be a market, the better. We all need it, and we should figure out mechanisms to make it available to all.

Practically that means paying to build and maintain housing stocks, changing tax incentives so developers are incentivized to build more housing and less luxury housing, charging a premium for unused land in desirable areas (parking lots don't house people), abolish mandatory minimum parking, and upzone neighborhoods (eliminating the "single family home" neighborhoods as a zoning type.)

I'm also of the much more radical opinion that we should protect tenants over landlords in nearly every case, that we should protect the rights of people to live where they've historically lived (eg, one shouldn't be "priced out" of the home they've lived in for 20 years), and we should offer extensive public housing (built as many geographically distributed small apartment buildings and 5 over 1s, not giant tenements or projects.)
What OP meant is that proponents of Rust are often a bit out of touch with reality: Go to github and find a random Rust repo which doesn't use unwrap excessively. And is thus full of serious bugs, according to your wording.
