>Nobody cares where you graduate from school in engineering.

I have witnessed numerous times hiring managers that would request that HR only sends them resumes from 1-2 target schools, specified by name.
https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool is pretty good for grammar. It's quite trivial to work with the REST API, try one of the docker images.
a brief look at a few random tracks on their bandcamp site doesn't show any sampling. if they have videos that use sampling, then those videos should be taken down, not the whole channel.
I'm interested in languages experimenting with integrating tables/dataframes and the relational model as native parts of the language

With how much of the code I've written that's been around representing entities and doing CRUD on collections of them it seems a bit wild not to have native "Table" types.

There's an HN user who has a neat language called "Empirical" based on this, and there's an active research language called "Flix" that has this as well. APL/K and other array langs feature a similar concept as I understand it.

I think this also meshes with the idea of LINQ and it's predecessor QUEL.
People don’t test on animals because it’s the status quo. They do so because computer models comprehensive and good enough don’t exist. Even from a purely cynical point of view, animal testing is bloody expensive. As soon as pharma companies will be able to get ride of them they will.
This article’s point is that economist graduates now are more likely to have come from a parent who is also an economics grad than compared to other points in time and against other graduate programs.
The IBM PC was 16-bit, though, like the TI 99/4A and SNES, despite its 8-bit data bus. The C64 was introduced in 01982, and people kept selling CP/M systems and TRS-80s for several years after that. I agree CP/M was pretty dead by 01988.

Commodore seems to have really believed obsolescence wasn't real. WDC launched the 65CE02 in 01988, and Commodore tried to build the Commodore 65 on it in 01991.

A decision I've never understood from that period: IBM introduced the PS/2 Model 30, with an 8-MHz 8086, in 01987. The 8086 was from 01976, but at least it had a 16-bit data bus, and at 8 MHz it was over a MIPS (though only 0.4 Dhrystone MIPS if we believe http://www.netlib.org/performance/html/dhrystone.data.col1.h..., that's still 8 times the Cromemco Z2 with its Z80, and 20 times the C64, though at this point we're well outside the area where Dhrystone is a good measure). They did replace it with the "PS/2 Model 30 286" the next year, but unfortunately not before my school district got suckered into buying some of the crippled beasts.

I agree that the C64 was pretty similar to the Atari 800, but it had much better sound, it had 256 multicolor sprites instead of 8 two-color sprites, and the 800 shipped with 8K and couldn't hold more than 48K. So there was a pretty big difference in what you could do on an Atari and what you could do on a C64.
Maybe I should have used the term "popular self-determinism". If the result is the government better represents the will of the populace at large, then popular self-determinism is improved, even if externally imposed.
It doesn't scale like that, though. If the % of people with college degrees had increased by 6x, to 24%, would you expect 6/5 of students to have parents with a college degree?
Just get someone to give you Costco gift cards; you can then enter the store with that gift card, and use other payment mechanism for the balance of purchase.
They would have to have a search warrant to raid the offices and seize things.

The point of the raid being to get their hands on the evidence before it can be shredded which Uber have proven is a valid concern.
I've always thought that there should be a property damage liability limit on public roads. If you want to drive a $250k lambo why do I have to buy extra insurance because you brought an expensive toy out to play on vital public infrastructure?

Pass the extra liability beyond, say, $100k to the owner of the toy car. If some shitty driver plows into my crappy old car, they are out maybe $3k in property damage. If they happen to hit a supercar, then somehow the same action nets them a liability that could buy them a starter home?

Mind you, I live in BC, where there is only one liability insurance company, and they have a government mandate to insure everyone with a license, no matter how bad their driving record is. Which means that every idiot's risk gets spread onto my bill.

Which is fairly tame in terms of securing geopolitical influence and enables more win-win arrangments. Especially with respect to Laos - a landlocked country with (to be blunt) zero long term development prospects. Laos per capital GDP growth has been on pace with booming Vietnam that has access to outsource manufacturing and maritime trade. Laos should be worse off than Cambodia that has 60% of current Laos per capita GDP. Even their largest export/growth sector - hydropower to Thailand is enabled by PRC (not to sound patronizing). PRC infra projects setup Laos to be the battery of region + rail connectivity for other exports = only real viable of short/medium term growth strategy for a undeveloped landlocked country with poor human development. Go look up gdp per capita trends of ASEAN since 2000 when PRC growth started blowing up, also LATM during same period. You'll be hard pressed to find any country whose per capita GDP increased by 8x like Laos. Many are luck with half that. As for societal changes on border regions that benefits from flow of migrant and economic development, that's what happens when countries get richer - things change. If you think that's a bad deal then I'm curious if you can find a better one, especially for a land locked country with no maritime access.
Accredited education like universities are more expensive than ever.

But actual education and attainment of knowledge is cheaper than ever. Just YouTube alone is a massive driving factor. Or Kahn Academy.

But to benefit from things like these, you have to have a culture that values education and actively seeks it out.
> If the need continues to exist until the year 2000, then that machine is still satisfactory.

Funnily enough Melbourne Metro used C64 systems well into the 2000s for displaying timetables.
No,

> After Hill’s paper was published in a second journal, the New York Journal of Mathematics (NYJM), University of Chicago mathematics professor Benson Farb, who is married to Wilkinson, partook in the editorial decision to retract the paper. Hill wrote to the University claiming that their actions constituted a violation of his freedom of speech, but the University found no evidence of wrongdoing after an investigation earlier this year.

The wrongdoing of which they had to be cleared was a conflict of interest, due to her husband being the editor of one of the journals.
Apparently Microsoft keeps the domain for contoso.net and contoso.com registered and its mx receives a vast quantity of mail from misconfigured things out in the wild.
Are they being imported by "groups" the same way?

This is assuming manufacturing is being done by large groups... but it usually is. Manufacturing tiny amounts is much much harder than importing tiny amounts.
It's irrelevant if the set of possible insults has infinite cardinality since we only care about the actual insults litigated on. If there is an insult which isn't in the list, the courts could decide if it fits their definition and through precedent it would be implicitly added to the list.

It's very relevant if you want a 'perfect' definition/insult list, but noone in policy land aims for perfection because they live in the real world.
Assuming further that the taxes accurately measure the benefit that comes from the interaction of luck, privilege and society.

Assuming even further that taxes effectively redistribute wealth to workers, educators, and nurturers.

These are together three assumptions, none of which I think are true.
As siblings note, the "historically" I'm talking about is pre-WW2.

Life in the US from 1950-2000 will one day be seen as a historical blip, not a state of being the US can ever return to. In that period, the US reaped massive profits from its position as sole industrial powerhouse for the first 20-30 years of that period (thanks to the destruction of the rest of the world's industrial capacity in WW2), and then as the world's bank for the following 20-30 years. It was a privileged position that--combined with the rise of the automobile and the opening up of cheap hinterlands for suburban development, without accounting for the externalities of course--enabled all sorts of leverage and quality of life for the working and middle classes, including massive subsidies for higher education.

Those days are over. Labor has little leverage these days, there's little exploitable land, and the middle class is more or less gone.

We could definitely decide to bring back the massive subsidies for higher ed -- after all, they're present in much of the EU. But it's not clear why one would think that heavily subsidized education would have an appreciably better effect here than it does in the EU.
$195 was the retail price for the name brand drug. Even though my doctor had prescribed the generic (which I've taken for many years now - in fact I don't think I've ever taken the name brand), the pharmacies were charging the name brand price for the generic unless you had insurance.

One time when Blue Shield messed up on my premium payment and the pharmacy didn't think I had any coverage, I went ahead and paid the full $195 out of pocket to avoid delaying the refill.

That was what got me curious about checking the actual cost of what I was buying.

Here's how I feel about this:

"Nice prescription you've got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
This really depends on where you are, taxi laws and companies are not the same everywhere, Uber mostly is.
It’s not necessarily a good thing. Imagine stalling on the train tracks and being unable to start the engine. You could still move the car using the starter motor, but not if it refuses to with the clutch engaged.
Link? Or can you give us the tldr?
> Freedom is the default nature of man

In actual Nature, there is absolutely no default state of freedom. The default is to eat or get eaten. "Freedom" is a social construct.

Just _maybe_ there is some biological underpinning in the form of tit-for-tat based sets of defensive-oriented instincts. (If you don't hurt me, I'll not hurt you.)
Agreed, and I would state it more strongly: it's unclear how / significant extra work to provide good error messages if you have a separate lexer stage. And sooner or later you will want good error messages.
If spread was by large droplets, cloth and surgical masks worn as source control (by those infected) are effective. The problem is that it took a very long time before experts began to agree that spread is not just by droplets but by aerosols as well.
I think it looks pretty cool, and I agree with gp that it's sad people are so caught up in some weird hatred for watch enthusiasts that they can't appreciate the engineering.
Realistically if you want to eat at the food court just walk backwards into the exit and be like "oh yeah I'm going to the pharmacy", most states have a law not allowing Costco to require membership for pharmacy, and the just go buy your food from the automated kiosk.
Many big tech companies are indeed led by people from Worker Bee schools (Midwestern state schools, SEC, ACC, etc.) Except for Google, famously founded by Stanford students. Or Microsoft & Facebook: Harvard dropouts.

It's quite a different story when you get to the people who really consider themselves Elite: big consulting firms, white shoe law firms, large media companies, and top echelons of the government. For those people, an Ivy League degree or equivalent is money, if not mandatory.

I think, in addition to the percentage of incoming students who are historically marginalized, those schools should track "percentage of students whose parents did NOT go to college." If they really cared about providing opportunity for upward mobility, those are the people they'd go after.
My favorite Costco is in Iceland: a place where things are normally absurdly expensive, and Costco Iceland is merely somewhat expensive. Arrive, stock up on food for a week (to supplement with restaurants, but some savings). Costco Japan would be really fun to visit too (haven't yet).

Also Costco + Internet (Amazon, B+H, etc.) are essentially 99% of my shopping here in Puerto Rico.

Visiting Costco, Walmart, etc. immediately after returning from war zones with limited supplies is a pretty shocking experience; I can only begin to imagine what it's like for someone new to the country who is actually from such a place.
The local tradies in Australia, -definitely- do okay.
Barry I appreciate that you recognize my good faith efforts. But I want to highlight that queer and gender nonconforming people are regularly marginalized and othered in this country and around the world. It is genuinely tiring to them to be dismissed regularly in their daily life and then to encounter people online who want to play this up as some culture war with two legitimate sides. I personally would not label you an "unbeliever". As I have said, these people just want to exist and have people like you deal with that without getting upset.

Some people like me have a little extra energy to sit down and explain it, but you cannot regularly expect marginalized people who have to deal with so much day to day to then spend energy educating you on the facts of the lives of queer and gender nonconforming people. They are far, far too tired from everything else to spend that energy educating you.

But I have given you a choice. A couple of videos from a respectful white southern man who I wholeheartedly endorse for his explanations. I watch his videos every day and to be honest I so far think he always has great takes.

So I have given you an opportunity to learn another perspective, and I encourage you to check it out. But if you don't, and you continue to act as the victim of a culture war that does not actually harm you in any way, then I promise you you will continue to be downvoted and kicked out of any space with open minded people.

I genuinely wish you the best. But I do not endorse this notion of dogma and unbelievers. This is about common decency and respect. This is about the lives of real people I respectfully think you haven't yet had the opportunity to understand. But consider checking out those video links. It would be an act of good faith to help your fellow people who just want to exist in peace.
One of the partner universities in the original project was the University of Tartu in Estonia
No, France tried to require the right to resell. That’s not the exact same thing as just requiring that old DRM has to degrade gracefully. I doubt the EU would have overruled that.
Hunch:

SWE salaries will fall as supply seems to have increased, due to the gold rush.

However, Electrical Engineers/Electronic Engineers with skills pertinent to "chip land" will increase in demand, and salaries will rise - perhaps dramatically. Long term domestic investment via government subsidies will have a focus area on promoting education/corporate pipelines, in order to address the shortage.
> You could print out a copy of your metadata to take with you on your trip to Europe without worrying that you'll be completely hosed if someone steals your phone/password manager.

I can take a copy of my pwd vault with me. I'm using pass, so the vault is a directory of files encrypted with a private key, which itself is encrypted with a strong passphrase. Even if I do end up losing that copy; What are the chances that someone breaks todays encryption standards, and does so before I notice the loss and simply change all my passwords?
They should have used a Free BIOS Language in their hardware like Open Firmware FORTH from the OpenBIOS project, to go with the Bias Free Language in their documentation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBIOS

>OpenBIOS is a project aiming to provide free and open source implementations of Open Firmware. It is also the name of such an implementation.

>Most of the implementations provided by OpenBIOS rely on additional lower-level firmware for hardware initialization, such as coreboot or Das U-Boot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware

>Open Firmware is a standard defining the interfaces of a computer firmware system, formerly endorsed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It originated at Sun Microsystems, where it was known as OpenBoot, and has been used by vendors including Sun, Apple, IBM and ARM. Open Firmware allows the system to load platform-independent drivers directly from a PCI device, improving compatibility.
Thanks for recognizing it. I have enough privilege that I am insulated from this kind of thing, so I have the energy to be patient. And it helps me develop my rhetorical skills. Cheers.
When electric cars stop crashing, we're effectively dead.
I had similar thoughts—it's probably down to the privilege factor. There are a high number of SWEs here on HN and many of them have likely never been in a financial position like that.
The best monocrystalline Si cell manufacturers now have warranty of something like 83-84% of original STC rated output after 25 years, I don't think this tech is anywhere near it yet in terms of degradation over time.
> You’ll be printf debugging at best, and you almost certainly won’t have access to powerful development tooling like code-completion through LSPs

Yes, you stay away from enterprise level databases, you will get what free beer gets you.

All big name databases have proper IDE tooling with ability to single step stored procedure code.

> Deployment and versioning:

Likewise, there are source control tooling for database schemas on enterprise databases.

> And sure, you may be able to activate an extension for an alternative scripting language with better syntax, but do you really want something like a Python VM running inside of your database?

No, I rather enjoy the advanced GC and JIT capabilities of JVM and CLR implementations.

nice. not nice.

and I think the same could happen in Europe as well.
Then 386 came out, and pretty much killed everything out there in the consumer market.
The USCG is a full on branch of the armed forces with an additional law enforcement mandate. During wartime it was under the command of the Department of the Navy. Currently it is under the DHS.
While I agree with the article that it is embarrassing that Experian doesn't support 2 factor authentication, I'm not sure it would have helped in this case since the account was migrated without ever authenticating to it.

Normally a security breach this egregious would require the attacker to call the help desk, but for some reason Experian has it baked right into the signup process. That is an impressive level of negligence. Someone had to put some serious effort into opening up that security hole.
What that means in practice is that hardly anything happens below a certain temperature, but it goes all to hell in a flash, above that. The "certain temperature" for any particular sample depends on what you consider "a flash".

You would be pretty peeved if your solar panel went all to hell in a year, so you calibrate accordingly.
There is a misunderstanding because I never asserted that he was the first to do this. I said “Jon Stewart popularized the format…”

I never claimed he discovered something brand new.
I find it much easier to make mental time maths on an analogue face. I mean, it's basically what a time calculator device would look like, if it existed.

24-hour ones are even better, but sadly rare.

Tiktok is an extention of lessons learned by Douyin - content that survives crucibles of PRC censorship are wholesome, not divisive (promotes political serenity) and hits the dopamine button just as hard. And if Douyin ecommerce integration is any sign, also wildly profitable. TBH, PRC has absolutely been precient on web moderation in general, i.e. facebook and twitter got the boot when they refused to censor calls of violence post 2009 minority riots. A few years later, western platforms forced to up the moderation game due to violence in the west, incidentally when they tried to get back into PRC market. After building (filtering (read: censorship) tools for western markets that can be transplanted to satisfy PRC legal requirements. Some lessons to learn even if US decides to ban TikTok, don't have to go full douyin/PRC, but going full facebook/twitter/free speech hasn't worked so well either.
Clarification, the errata for the podcast is on the ELIZAGen.Org site on the "Original ELIZA" page.
> But consider e.g. the distribution of scores on the Putnam: top scores are around 125, and most years the median is zero(!). Those with a zero score do not in general lack education.

This is a bad example; the Putnam is designed as a competition and scored in a way to distinguish the 90th percentile from the 99th, not the 40th from the 50th. The median = 0 just means that the scoring system throws away everything below the median to better score everything above it.

Skilled craftsmen exist because there are things that require a combination of capital in the form of tools and knowledge in the form of training on a small scale. Think about an electronics repair shop: they will pretty much always exist (and should) because as sophistication increases in electronics, when they break they always result in a unique snowflake of a situation that is basically impossible to automate the repair thereof. Repair also requires spare parts and tools that they buy one time and use many times.

In a dynamic economy both will exist, but it doesn't render the argument that we should want more Nvidias and fewer Subways any less valid.
I think the 2% thing is a customer incentive thing, and not intended to be a profit center. And that doesn’t work as well if people feel like they’re gambling on whether they will make enough purchases to justify it, if they feel like losers in the end.
The next step really will be branch offices which are 100% thin clients, which some companies already implement.

Okay. Not having taken London cabs, I cannot disagree with you. What I can tell you is that Ubers in NYC are much safer than cabs in NYC, and Ubers across Africa are much safer than their cab equivalents. To the degree that Uber's technology actually achieves something that cab companies cannot, it's punishing bad driver and rider behavior via the rating system.

Not exactly like that, but close. As % of people with college degrees approaches 100%, all students will have parents with a college degree, so it will approach 5/5. The logic in the parent comment still stands.
