Most languages have numerous third-party solutions for managing dependencies, or only recently added native support. go only recently added modules and was an absolute mess prior to that. javascript has npm, yarn, and about a million others. PHP has compose, but it doesn't cover everything. C/C++ are a mess. Java has gradle, maven, sbt, etc.
The site is compatible with IE1, HTTPS would break that. Unacceptable.

And I don't believe it is possible to have an HTTPS configuration that suits both old and new browsers since new browsers regularly deprecate older versions of SSL/TLS. I think that anything less than TLS 1.2 is deprecated in many browsers now. and TLS 1.2 is from 2008, way too modern for a website focused on compatibility.

For compatibility, HTTP is your only choice, secure protocols are likely to deprecate regularly as new vulnerabilities are found and stronger protocols are made.
Comcast does the same thing. They have a catalog of 4000 movies. If you're browsing, the only way is to start at the beginning and scroll 4 at a time. You'll give up long before you get to the bottom.

Unless it's for something specialized (CV, machine learning, etc.) then an advanced degree doesn't seem likely to help, career-wise. For personal growth, sure. But it probably won't open much up or affect your pay.

I've done almost all of my learning either on the job, or through extracurricular reading (e.g., lots of conference proceedings, and textbooks on interesting subjects). If you read just one paper a week, that's 500 papers in a decade, and you'll have a good grounding in large swathes of CS (or at least you'll know where to go for ideas on hard problems). Two papers a week and you will be wise beyond human measure.

I dropped out of college 40 years ago and the lack of a degree has never been a problem. It's getting that first job that's probably the biggest hurdle; after 4-5 years, few companies will care. And if they care, you may not want to work there.
There is a good insight here - people often forget to evaluate whether their ideas really solve the problem that motivated them to have the idea. Once they have the idea, their brains get all fixated on "if we do the idea, the world will become magical".
That's basically what happened to a generation of homeowners in 2008.
> if the people it was stolen from decided it wasn't worth preserving who are you to decide they're wrong?

Huh? Where did I "decide they're wrong"? In this hypothetical you're concocting, you're saying someone "looted" something from someone's trash? That's not what looting typically means. Looting typically means taking things the people from whom they were taken from deemed valuable.
This should have been expected. Every virus outbreak, epidemic and pandemic in history was caused by humans working and living in close proximity to animals. All of them. This is why the lab leak theory of COVID-19 is wrong. Lab leaks happen all the time, they don't cause pandemics, but at best, a very small outbreak. Regardless, you can't live much closer to animals than having their parts inside you. I have an idea. With 8 billon people here now, why don't we just let people live out their natural lives without artificially extending them?

there would be third party scrapers to compare prices. I don't think you can really solve the problem of poor quality dropshippers, except if the platform mandates a return policy which doesn't cost the user.
I second this. I attended OMSCS for a few semesters and ultimately dropped out because I felt most of the courses lacked any interactive component. Another factor that led me to drop out was that one of my biggest reasons for enrolling in a masters degree was to strengthen my research skills. Although I did manage to do research in a couple of courses and assist a professor, I found it very hard to juggle research, a full-time job and the demands of a part-time OMSCS course load (which is very time-consuming due to lack of interaction with instructors and faculty since it requires a lot of autodidacticism). Right now I am trying to determine the next steps in my educational journey. I am taking some online extension course with a synchronous lecture component and am finding it a lot better for really learning the material than OMSCS courses without synchronous learning component. However, it doesn't seem like full masters programs are offered in this manner. Has anyone found such a program in Computer Science that is geared towards people who already have a bachelor's degree in CS and are working full time in industry.
So tech is a lot like crossing a river hopping from rock to rock. You make these leaps, and you try (or mostly hope) these leaps lead to a great career.

At the beginning, you're a 20-something person. You mostly don't get to pick your steps, especially if you're in the employed-by-others track.

Standing in the river on my rock, at this advanced career stage, I'm certainly not looking to "learn programming languages". That was long ago.

Right now it's all about picking the next leap based on the conviction that it's going to be a great ride in the future, which is much closer to sunset for me than most in this forum.
I think I know what you are saying, but I think you're misusing the war on drugs as a rhetorical device. I think you're just talking about treating the symptoms of addicts rather than looking at the causes.

The phrase "war on drugs," at least to me, is about all the collateral damage caused by criminalizing drugs. No one is criminalizing Facebook usage.

Gen-z identifies as 20% queer. Each new generation is more willing/able to live their truth. Wouldn't surprise me if we land somewhere around 25-30%.

In large part thanks to representation in shows and movies.

The us is rapidly diversifying too in terms of race, yet still even more under represented in media.

Glaad says only ~10% queer characters on broadcast, and was a decline from previous study.

Specifically comparing streaming netflix had 155 queer characters and HBO max 71. You do the math on the massive amount of original content on netflix compared to hbomax.

I agree, I don't think that a bug in GCC last millennium is a very strong argument for using Rust instead of C today, though such arguments do exist.

However, I also don't think they particularly help you to distinguish a compiler bug from an error in your understanding of the language semantics, although they sure do help a lot with everyday errors.

With respect to questions of inferiority or superiority, keep in mind that Valgrind and UBSan are only dynamic checkers; they don't help at all with errors that don't occur in your testing. Frama-C is a static checker more similar to Rust's capabilities, but much more limited, but also with cscope-like abilities for reverse-engineering existing source bases.

The great advantage these three tools (and ASan) have is that you don't have to rewrite your C in Rust in order to use them.
It's harder to steal them because there is nothing to steal. The "art" is programmatically generated and can be instantly created by anybody at any time.

In my experience, when people cite the middle ground fallacy, it's because they're so radicalized that they believe that to a self-described centrist, the ideal compromise between genocide and no genocide is half a genocide, which is obviously a complete strawman. I've only ever seen it used in bad faith arguments of that sort, thus my previous comment.

In my opinion that sort of ever more absurd "if you're not with us you're against us" type thinking is what has turned social media into such a cesspool, and by enforcing a sort of moderate state, that sort of person gets pushed away, making the space more tolerable for healthier minds.

Eg. with abortion it's almost impossible to have a civil, nuanced debate on social media because the extremes of both sides have cemented themselves into (fairly hypocritical) positions that paint everyone who isn't fully with them as an enemy, even though there's a lot of room for reasonable compromise and healthy debate on the effects and tradeoffs of specifics of related policy.

The principle is quite old: its incarnation for normal individuals is called the “statute of limitations”.

If you only care about your children and you have an effective means of transmitting wealth gotten through evil means, you merely have to forgo the benefit yourself.

You'll find absolutely no argument from me about these things -- when Rust can't guarantee a particular thing (and there are many, many things it reasonably can't and won't guarantee!), it does an excellent job of its APIs descriptive.

The sole point was one of formal guarantees: this post is about bugs the compiler catches, and the first example is one that Rust will not catch. It won't catch it because, in many cases, it's not a bug at all!
Another similar issue is, if you see a huge problem that will take lots of time to fix, and, if you take it on, your timesheets don't have enough time on the other approved new work codes. For this you will eventually be punished in the corporate way, sidelined, no promotion, no pay rise (.5%) and assignment to failed projects where anyone else who worked on them has long gone.

The net result of this is a wasteland of rubbish as far as the eye can see.
Bullshit... tries it ... Oh! :-)

Many apartments (condos in the rest of the country) in Manhattan are structured as co-ops with huge monthly obligations. The sales prices are lower because you can easily be committing to $2000 a month in payments to a co-op board. The total monthly outlays bring the numbers back in line.
It's telling that the comments calling out people complaining about representation are all greyed out. Sorry.

Some pieces of art can be strongly tied to the history or culture of a nation/group. Is that really morally objectionable to give that back to the people that still strongly identify with it?

And using your bad example. If someone 300 years from now had an item of little sentimental value to them, but meant the world to another family that has a strong history tied with that company, wouldn’t you say that the moral thing is to give it to people that care about the object?

It’s not always about the law and giving legal responsibilities. It’s just about doing the decent and moral thing.

I have a workaround for you: assistive touch under accessibility allows you to bring up an on-screen two-handle bar which lets you adjust zoom with one hand.

My full workflow for using this is triple click power key to bring up accessibility shortcuts, press assistive touch and then tap on the circle icon to bring up the bar. You can drag it around by dragging the middle and if you drag either bar end it does the “pinch”.

I put smart invert for pseudo dark mode and zoom in the other two accessibility shortcuts to round out the accessibility shortcut menu.
I'm agreeing with you ("and for that matter..." as in "yes, and..."). The 'you' is general, to the people arguing that enjoying the thing in the museum is a morally neutral thing, and I'm bringing it back to the broader topic where we're talking about looted goods.
To put it in perspective; children in the west use phones with lithium mined by children in poor countries, and wear make up with mica mined by children in poor countries. Not saying that makes their problems invalid, but gratitude has been scientifically proven to increase happiness and we do have some things to be grateful for. Unfortunately telling people to me grateful is for some reason seen as annoying to most. I'm no Christian but that was one big positive of Christianity-- the focus on gratitude and skills to help one ensure stress and unhappiness
That's what happens when you allow adults and kids to play together in a highly unregulated environment, cough social media platforms cough.

I'm surprised we even allow this to happen in the first place. Go figures.
It's because the demand for items being returned only goes in one direction which supports what can only be described as 'woke' beneficiaries of the pieces. It's also not clear who properly owns what or why but it suits a narrative.

For example, do the people who think art taken during the colonial era from Asia and brought to France or England should be returned also think that art taken from the Catholic Church should be returned to the Catholic Church? Probably not. Has this happened? Yes, absolutely.

In any event morally unscrupulous rich people in other parts of the world may have no problem buying or stealing these items once they have left western museums where they may disappear forever.
Haha, very fair! Hoisted by my own leotard...
This one is hard to me. For instance, it’s obvious to me that you can’t pay interest on this thing but if it were an actual thing, surely one should give it back.

I mean, if I took a gold bar stamped with your name and authentically yours from you and decades pass and your son meets my son and my son shows off his gold bar, does your son not have a right to that bar?

Seems like straightforward theft. Intellectual property and imputed losses are hard but an item that is still itself? It feels different.

Moody's who quite famously engaged in what should be criminal conspiracy regarding the rating of MBS [1] leading up to 2008 that cost pension funds, mutual funds and investors billions of dollars makes further statements about the housing market.

Sorry but I don't put a lot of stock in what Moody's says about anything.

There's pretty strong evidence that the rise in house values is structural not speculative. This is essentially the constraint of supply. There are multiple causes of this including:

1. The US building very few new homes 2010-2020. There are lots of reasons for this. A big problem is the type of housing being built, particularly in urban center where like NYC where the vast bulk of new housing units are ultra-luxury condos;

2. Permissive policies allowing the rich to park money in real estate. This particularly includes foreign nationals from places like China, India and Russia; and

3. An increase in people owning multiple properties. These include second homes, vacation homes and short-term rentals (most notably for AirBnB). There's strong evidence that AirBnB in particular has huge negative impacts on a lot of metropolitan areas.

A lot of tempted to blame Blackrock and other instituationl investors as constraining suply. this is completely overblown. These account for less than 1% of US homes.

In other words, it is the fault of the American voter, right and left, for voting for leaders who haven't greatly cared about inflation because the voters haven't. Now both sides care a bit more, and both are prescribing solutions that ... just happen to equal a shopping list of their favorite policies, with or without inflation. Want to know who caused inflation? There's likely a portrait of the villain in your closest mirror.
From my perspective as a babyboomer I think things are worse. Some things like poverty have improved but in many ways that's been negated by corporate greed on an unprecedented scale, dishonest and disingenuous politics that's now so bad and unrepresentative that it makes one feel ill just thinking about it - and so on.

I look back at the early optimism of my generation, Woodstock etc., - the end of WWII and later the end of the Vietnam War and the Cold War thinking that my generation wouldn't make those mistakes like our forefathers had done and that we'd make the world a much better place however in many ways we've done an even worse job. In fact, I see my generation as a generation of greedy, spoiled and overindulged brats.

Frankly, I'm profoundly dissolutioned and saddened at how badly my generation has done and I'm pessimistic about the near future. What seemed like an excellent start for my generation has essentially turned out to be a failure for humankind. Our legacy has been pretty terrible, I only hope future generations will learn from our mistakes and will not repeat them.

There are some good ways to have a political message in your content, and there are terrible ways, especially if it feels "shoe-horned". I'm not GP and am not precisely sure what was meant by pop, but I took it to mean "un-nuanced, insincerely-held".

There are people such as yourself who seem eager to label "ugly minded" any questions about the quality of content that promotes A Message even if the Message is simplistic. If a mob like that arises, now we have a ratcheting-up of bad content and simplistic politics.

I hope that's not the case here.

> If I am not mistaken 30% of buyers are cash buyers, hence they do not care about the mortgage rate.

Not necessarily. For anyone who's been working at FAANG and amassed certain amount of financial independence, the advice generally ran along the following scenario:

1) Secure a pledged-asset loan against your stock portfolio. That reduces the need to sell anything and trigger capital gains.

2) Shop around for real estate and submit a cash based offer to signal that you can close quickly.

3) Finalize the transaction.

4) Shop around cashout refi loans with fixed rates. Refi. Cashout. Repay the asset-backed loan.

If those 30% who are cash buyers kept their cash locked up in their houses, you wouldn't see household mortgage debt (that includes refi) skyrocket https://www.emarketer.com/newsroom/index.php/us-mortgage-deb...
Exactly this.

Too many people seem to think 'cash deals' in real estate equate to a guy showing up with a louis vutton bag full of 100s that's been collecting dust in their shoe closet

It's just an indication of a lack of nuance in the deal-making, lack of contingencies (i.e. I'll give you $XYZ for your house as soon as I get $ABC for my house - agreed?!)
