They typically also require 1000-2000 hours (over the course of the entire degree) of instruction time in things relating to software development. Part of that is homework and the practice of the craft of software development.

One of the key things that self taught developers miss is the instruction and review of the code. You write code differently if you're going to be graded or if its a throw away script.

In theory, job code that is going to last for more than a run should be written closer to the rigor of the graded code while people who have self taught have never had their code reviewed in their instructional period and tend to (not always, but tend to) write code that wouldn't stand up as well to review.

There are plenty of graduates who don't write code that stands up to review either... but there is a "you have spent a few hundred hours writing code and had it graded, and changed how you write code to get a better grade."

For a person who comes into a CS degree program without experience at coding, and they do their homework, I tend to believe that they will have code that stands up better to review and fewer bad habits than someone who followed a self taught progression.
Many parts of North America did not have earth worms before they were introduced by European settlers. It's a question of semantics, but it is often argued that almost all worms are invasive in the United States. The devil you know...

"If you live in an area of North America where the glaciers once rested, there are no native terrestrial worms in your region. All of North America's native worm populations reside in the southeast and the Pacific northwest. All other worms species were wiped out by the glaciers. This means that, for millennia, northern North America's native ecosystems have evolved without the influence of any type of worms in the soil.

When Europeans settled the continent, they brought with them earthworms, specifically those known as night crawlers and red wigglers, in the ballasts of their ships. Since then, these worms have been spread all over the continent by a wide range of human activities like farming, composting, and fishing. Since their introduction, many forests have been invaded by these annelids and are now suffering heavily from earthworm activities."

NSA Field Station Teufelsberg – a late post mortem (2010?)
Hey thanks for checking it out. Anki is in many ways a great tool and one that I’ve used extensively myself in the past. I felt that the UI could be improved however and that certain features were lacking. One high-level goal was to build an application with a simpler and more modern user experience. On top of that there were features, small and large, that I wanted and felt could only be realized with a new product. Here are some examples:

- Simplified navigation when browsing your content.

- A rich card editor that behaves more like one you’d find in a modern note taking application.

- Search as a first class citizen.

- Dedicated functionality for creating language cards.

- Proper code blocks for people learning software development.

- A way to easily study all my pending items across all folders.

- Improved/seamless synchronization (I’d sometimes get sync failures when using Anki on my phone and on the desktop)

With that said, the application is still very much in its early stages and there are a lot more features that will be arriving over the coming months.
It probably didn't matter too much since Microsoft and Cloudflare were notified at the same time as Intel. Both of them run AMD hardware in their datacenters. It does seem weird though.
That is correct. The backend covers enterprise features that are only source-available, whereas the rest of the application is open source. We understand that this can be quite misleading, and will refrain from saying that we are open source in the future
"One of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD is anxiety over not being able to get things done."

No, it is not.

If you have to keep taking amphetamines you are stuck with it. It is clear that something dopamergenic is going on with these kids, but no one is trying to find out why they do not have enough dopamine. You know we have biological pathways that produce dopamine which are controlled by things in our environment.

Yeah, I said it, you can control ADHD by changing the environment. Zinc, B6, air pollution, protein intake, etc...

Yet all we get is a pill? And you are all happy with that?

Not sure if it worth the platform specific code, but for #2 macOS 10.15+ has `posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np()`.

I think most of these are deficiencies in the available posix_spawn actions, not anything inherent. Of course getting all the relevant OSes to add new functionality is a huge pain. The error handling seems bad though.
Well, I'm not proposing that people and companies do anything specific, it's up to them how to handle it. Maybe they'll choose to use less stock based compensation and more cash, maybe CEO's will end up with less compensation in general and the companies will retain more of that money for their own operations.

but you’re fundamentally forcing them to sell off control of the company

That part is true. Billionaires can retain control of their company by being good leaders and providing value to the company, not because they started it 20 years ago and retained a huge amount of stock.
Is this a real cause for concern? I don't really know how abortions are performed, but doesn't the fetus die quickly? I imagine that once it's "unplugged", depending on its age, it's seconds to a minute from death.

depends on so much more than price... like do I want to introduce a new vendor for this isolate stuff?

> An Isolate-based system can’t run arbitrary compiled code. Process-level isolation allows your Lambda to spin up any binary it might need. In an Isolate universe you have to either write your code in Javascript (we use a lot of TypeScript), or a language which targets WebAssembly like Go or Rust.

If one writes Go or Rust, there are much better ways to run them than targeting WASM

I feel like all of that is secondary compared to the fact that JavaScript lets a kid immediately create something they can see. Sure, if you want to teach CS it's not my first choice, and if you want to interact with things you'll need a library, but once you add in that kind of stuff you're stepping up a complexity level anyway. Anything you need to build something simple is in the language, and along with HTML you can build things cool enough that there's time to learn before you outgrow it. Once you get around to making a real application those issues all apply, but I mean my first brush with programming was Minecraft mods and they're a million times more finicky. I stuck with it even though I was writing in notepad++ and taking 5 minutes to test each change because the end result was something a 12 year old wanted!

Obviously there are better purely pedagogical languages (I'm partial to Racket myself), but those are suited more for the classroom. In terms of getting a kid hooked, in this day and age the best option is JavaScript. Back in the day it was Basic, even though Basic sucks and sucked for anything complicated. For me it was a janky Java setup I downloaded off of a shady forum. The execution model or transpilers have nothing to do with it.

Eh, if you are cash rich you might as well.

Owning land isn’t something that requires a great deal of skill/competence compared to leasing land - in fact if you want to stay in a property for a long time, there is more complexity in managing a lease if you have capital tied to it once the lease period is up and you are forced to renegotiate the deal.

IMO this idea that a giant logistics operation shouldn’t own it’s own warehouses just because owning warehouses isn’t a “core competency” is questionable. In reality this decision just depends on your corporate perspective on the cost of capital (eg the WACC).
See I feel you have missed a lot of points, it’s like you’re pragmatic as hell are creating stuff but by the choices you seem to have made it seems like you have got quite a surface level understanding of some very well thought out stuff that has good reasoning behind it because you want to make stuff with ease regardless of how maintainable it is it how much tooling can help you. I wouldn’t chalk stuff entirely up to hype.

I'm not sure if I would particularly care that it was just an edge case that caused me to miss out on $99M.

They wouldn't take shares, but I would be forced to sell shares in order to pay the tax bill, because I don't actually have that money just laying around. So I had 10M shares @ $1/share, share prices go up to $100/share. I get hit with a $900M tax bill and sell 9M shares in order to pay it. Price goes back down to $1/share, leaving me with 1M shares. How exactly should I purchase more at a pittance? I spent all the money I didn't even have paying the tax bill, there's nothing left in my bank account to buy any shares.
The question is who they're beholden to, i.e. who they derive that power from. The problem with the person with the most sway over a committee being able to make a decision is less because:

1) The fact that it's necessary to "hold sway" is a result of the power not actually being held by that person, but being loaned to that person by the rest of the committee in a way that can be withdrawn at any time.

2) The committee members are all subject to the process that chooses them. That's the power center, and the character of that process defines the legitimacy of what the committee does. If a billionaire chooses them, the committee is a mask. If the people being governed choose them, that's the basis of popular sovereignty, and the justification for post-Enlightenment government in general.

> whoever owns the news media & ad platforms (or has money to do massive PR campaigns and ad buys) holds sway over resource allocation.

You're talking about other billionaires. The conversation is about not having billionaire.

So this boils down to if billionaires choose a committee, billionaires will run things, and if people vote for a committee and billionaires control all of the information that those people get, billionaires will run things. You can escape this if you don't have billionaires.
That wasn't proactive it was in response to earlier timing analysis attacks.
This means that if your business grows to a multi billion dollar valuation, you are reward for your success by immediately losing controlling share of your business.

This might mean that motivated found might work less hard to make their businesses as competitive and big as possible, and could slow down the pace of innovation.
> You seem to be stating two contradicting things, that the Saturn V was too expensive to be maintained and that the space shuttle was even more expensive and yet continued operating for decades.

It was worse than that. NASA never received sufficient funding for the STS. So they turned to the miltary who wanted it and were willing to fund it.

However, the military needs were also what made the space shuttle so stupidly hard to engineer. Think about how much harder all of the current commercial space programs would have it if they also had to engineer switching to a polar orbit. That's why the STS has those stupidly big engines.

So, because Congress neither gave the project sufficient funding (would take money from my favorite pork barrel!) nor allowed the project to shut down (don't you dare take away pork barrel from my district!), NASA created a vehicle that killed a bunch of astronauts.
You really think that a SE in their 70's who learnt how to write if statements and data structures 50 years ago would say that they're still basically doing the same thing now as back then? Maybe if they work on legacy stacks like the famed COBOL devs coming back out of retirement. But the thing is that what he's working on is cutting edge, not maintaining systems that were built decades ago.

I made a rule with my phone - only read content that was created > 1 year ago. This immediately rules out Facebook, Twitter, and (usually) WashPost/NYT. I am left with academic papers and books. (Podcasts and audiobooks are ok.)

No, Go modules implement a global TOFU checksum database. Obviously a compromised upstream at initial pull would not be affected, but distros (other than the well-scoped commercial ones) don’t do anything close to security audits of every module they package either. Real-world untargeted SCAs come from compromised upstreams, not long-term bad faith actors. Go modules protects against that (as well as other forms of upstream incompetence that break immutable artifacts / deterministic builds).

MVS also prevents unexpected upgrades just because someone deleted a lockfile.
in my city we had the first closed store of McDonald's in the world! great achievement
Yes I'm sure. They were made with Windows (probably XP) software and works something like Apple's Time Machine. So if your put in the first cd it will give you an option -- assuming it was the same device apparently -- to overwrite your hard disk to exactly the same state as it was when the recover/ restore / backup - not sure what to call it - was made, including user files. The problem here is that it seems to be locked to the original device or model (can't figure out wich) so it won't start the recovery process.
So it is no longer "Billionaires shouldn't exist", but "Billionaires who build a successful business shouldn't exist, but if you uncover a hidden treasure trove you can be a billionaire"
Hey, this is really bad. I am disabled for Bipolar Schizoaffective disorder, living with it for 30 years, hospitalized quite a few times. I was on countless meds. They told me I needed them or I would get worse. But I kept getting worse.

Now, for the last 8 years I am med free and showing signs of recovery.

You do not need meds. You need to find out why you need them biologically. We know that ADHD is primarily caused by low dopamine. So why are you not making enough dopamine?
They have to make money somehow.
(some descriptive linguistics) People often think of "=" as "is", when "is" can convey both equality and possession of an attribute. IIRC there was an article about how American kids think "=" means "the answer is" because they first encountered it with equations like 5+5=10. I've also seen people write 2x+5=10 = 2.5, meaning "the answer to the problem 2x+5=10 is 2.5"
I based what I said on the study by Kazda, Bell, Thomas, et al [1], although there's always a chance that I might have misunderstood it. From what I understood, it seems that there's a certain degree of overdiagnosis in milder cases of ADHD. Again, it's perfectly possible that I either misunderstood it or that they're wrong.

If you look at the rest of my comments in this discussion, you'll see that I'm not pushing the moral panic you mention -- on the contrary, I'm pushing against it strongly -- and that it's definitely not true that I "know next to nothing" about this condition.

It wouldn't surprise me to find that ADHD is being simultaneously over- and under-diagnosed, because it's new enough that we're still discovering more and more about it. That's why I don't dispute that there's probably some degree of overdiagnosis, but I strongly object to pushing the narrative that it's some kind of an overmedication epidemic or crisis.

Let's be very careful with attributing children's medical conditions to parental failure. This is the same line of thinking that brought us "refrigerator mothers", piling on loads of undeserved and unjust guilt on blameless parents of autistic children that were already trying their hardest to help their kids.

Unless you have solid studies that establish _causation_, not correlation, to back up your assertions, your facile dismissal of all existing medical research in favor of your own personal social prescriptions deserves zero consideration.
Minecraft modding is how I learned! It was a wonderfully formative experience, and suggesting it to a child should constitute abuse. Although I have heard things are better now than they were.

My point being, that scaremongering about Scotland not being fast tracked backed into the EU is very similar to the false arguments used at the referendum.

This is a country that has already been in the EU, was dragged out against its wishes, and now wants to rejoin. It will not be a normal accession process.

Ignoring that fact, the EU has a huge political incentive to ease Scotland’s re entry wrt the English situation.

Ironically, I expect it will be England that ensures the fast tracking by making it impractical for Scotland to retain the pound, forcing them to adopt the euro.

Elsewhere on this thread you said you generally agreed with someone who said the medical consensus on healthy TRT levels was wrong and someone should shop around for a doctor with alternative views.

If the medical consensus is not wrong your "general agreement" about shopping doctors is probably at least a little risky.
You confuse personal opinions about crypto with business success.
