These were graduate comprehensive exams. These are an unusual case, as they are a rare occurrence, graded by more than one faculty member, and only a handful of them.

For ordinary classes, how I receive exams is up to me. For large classes I always administer and collect the exams in person and in hard copy. (Except as the Covid situation dictated.) For small classes I sometimes give take-home exams, and allow students to hand in a hard copy or email it to me. I've also set up folders via Dropbox or MS OneDrive (individually for each student) in the past.

We use Blackboard as our LMS. In principle this is a solved problem there, in practice I'd rather finagle a couple dozen emails than deal with Blackboard more than I have to.
Right, I didn't say the rule in chess was exactly that, but "basically" that - which effectively is the same.

The rules could certainly be written out in more legalese, but I found them easy to understand as-is without resorting to suggesting that the queen could also start ignoring and moving through pieces at will.
You're not just paying for the time they work. It's also stuff like paying for medical care if they fall off the roof or call backs on warranty work.

Plus a lot of it is marketing and quoting expense. Advertising and paying for referrals eats up a big chunk of the bill. You (or someone) has to spend time generating quotes that turn into projects less than half the time.
FlightControl looks interesting too. Interesting pricing model - to directly & explicitly charge a markup on the underlying managed infrastructure.

There's some obvious risk in your business model but I'm 100% rooting for you.

The rent is too damn high.

It pushes up the cost of labor across the board.
I think that they would lose customers in droves if they did such badly - a bit like google losing to alternative search engines due to them pushing paid ads first. I’m already rethinking alternatives along the lines of Ungoogled phones - but I still like ios as it just does what it’s supposed to do kinda well. But if I see an ungoogled phone I’m likely to get it as a second phone - or maybe a first phone and iPhone becomes media phone!!
Scaling Kubernetes to Thousands of CRDs
I'd been using BT for the past decade as a wireless receiver for audio or mouse/KB.

It's only very recently that I discovered that you could use it to transmit files from Device A to Device B. No middleman app or cloud sync service needed! Considering how awful USB file sync is between Mac OS and Android, I don't even break out the cable to transfer files anymore.

The downside is that transmission speeds are very slow, approx. 5 seconds to transfer 1 MB. That's fine for EPUBs and text-heavy PDFs, but not for anything bigger.
Here we go again… yes I want my debilitating arthritis to come from the vaccine instead of the actual infection like what happened with Lymerix. Eye roll
The protocol itself sucks. For example, do you want to listen to have game audio and have a mic active? This is basically the main use case for Bluetooth and what are your options? CVSD and mSBC, both of which have notoriously poor quality. If you were lucky and bought fancier hardware, you could marginally improve things with FastStream or AptX-LL, a couple of vendor-specific, non-standards compliant hacks that were finicky to use at best.

As of 2022, there isn't even a solution, only the hope that BT5 might be have standardized support for marginally acceptable quality, provided vendors actually implement it. Of course, you can't buy BT5 hardware today and vendors have entirely ignored large parts of the spec before, so that's not exactly a great selling point.
Indeed, it had the smell of a hit piece but in my defence the title I used is the same title as the original article :)

This reminds me of a time when I was driving a familiar route home. I put on Google maps just in case and it showed a ridiculous route with a total trip time of 10-15 minutes longer than the typical 45 minutes I was expecting.

I decided to try my luck with the regular route, thinking it couldn't possibly be that bad. Every exit, the map tried to get me off the highway but I just kept on driving the normal route, nervously hoping that I wasn't dooming myself to a 20-minute traffic jam.

I made it home in the normal amount of time without encountering any unusual traffic and only then did I realize I had accidentally enabled "no highways."
I don't think you explained why you disagree. If it's difficult, why is that wrong, why do you disagree?

A scoring system for assessing burnout
I have been using Lockdown mode for a few weeks on iOS 16 beta and iPadOS 16 beta. I really like it, it does not ruin the experience of using my devices and I feel like it makes my devices safer. I plan on always having Lockdown configured. What about the rare web sites that don’t work with Lockdown? I either ignore them or add the URIs to my todo list and visit them when using a laptop. BTW, I only use macOS and Linux laptops when I am developing software. Otherwise I use either my small or large iPad Pros.
> A lot of people just don’t have that kind of money laying around.

Probably because they approach finances in terms of the "monthly payment, I can afford it!" solution that's so profitable to lenders. Paying 50% more for the system "so I can get monthly payments" is not a way to having any actual savings, long term.

And when salestypes are playing games with the "dial-a-power-inflation-rate" knob to make your savings look amazing, it suckers some people in. Even as the power company is moving to change net metering requirements, very few salespeople seem to ever bother mentioning that you're unlikely to actually see 25 years of kWh for kWh net metering on a new install.

I don't run in particularly high income circles, but I do run in quite frugal circles, and the people I've been helping out with solar installs are, in fact, just buying things cash (after scrounging around for the best deals). I've been able to help this process some by facilitating some bulk purchases (the last order was 100x 72 cell panels, we ordered enough to be under $0.50/W on them), and I've traded some panels and other equipment for labor on various things as well ("I'll pay for the materials, pay you in inverters or something for the labor"), but... loans just aren't how any of the people I know out here (rural mountain west farm country) work.
I had a similar experience with Name.com though I was given like a week to respond and completely missed the email as well. Cost me similar to get my .at domain back from the breach, and had to go back and forth with support over a couple days because they had trouble getting it back.
Blazor vs. Wisej.net
I'm not that guy.

I'm the "be the change you want to see" guy.
I'm curious - why? Is it the potentially longer hours on the 4 days you're in, or something else? The extra day could be used for hobbies, working out/going outdoors, spending family time, etc...?
A $500 console that requires $60/year to play online over a short 5 year lifespan costs $800. The premium service on PS5 costs $120/year if that's what you want.

Now here's the thing. I don't care about "horse power". It really does not matter. This time I get to say, "I just want to play". And that's what I do. I don't think about the graphics, and they're fine. Tbh, on my $800 black friday from four years ago RTX 2080 LAPTOP, that's meant max graphics settings + raytracing on every title I've tried. But I also wouldn't care if I needed to set them to Low.

Being able to run a game on lower graphical settings if it's a bit above your paygrade is a lot better than not being able to run it at all.
They should be byte (or 16-bit code unit, or whatever) strings. There is no ambiguity here, only incompatibility and delusion.

Rust gets this almost right. Python gets this very wrong.

>You can always frame bad regulations to look reasonable.

You can also frame good regulations to look unreasonable. Ultimately, you can't solve real-world problems by sitting in a chair and not doing any kind of observation. In this case, we know because there are actually problems with existing solar installations that we can point to. In the hypothetical you refer to, we could find out when news media interview an inspector who says "yeah we just rubber stamp everything, it's a scam" in nicer language.
“No loops” was done for safety reasons. https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall05/cos518/p..., section 3.5:

“To prevent DIF from inducing an infinite loop in probe context, only forward branches are permitted. This safety provision may seem draconian — it eliminates loops altogether — but in practice we have not discovered it to present a serious limitation”

And we disagree about what can be called “a dtrace reimplementation”. Because there’s decades of prior art on tracing, I wouldn’t call anything that allows looping that.

One thing I like about ubiquity aps is that you can configure them with whichever controller you like and then remove/disconnect the controller but the AP still runs on its own. For years.

However, I wonder if this is true in either repeated or multi-ap setups ? That is, if I configure an AP and then one of those wall-mounted directional ubiquity repeaters with another AP on the other end … shared SSID … can that configuration run with no controller?

I would think it could but .. I have not tried…
You probably don't want either a fully functioning remote shell, or a malleable filesystem for injecting one, since that's precisely the kind of environment that is great for infiltrators to make a pod do something it's not intended to.

I'm not as familiar with the literature on replication for file systems as I am with state machine replication, so perhaps the usage of those terms have diverged since then. Regardless, I think my analysis is correct for state machine replication. Thanks for the link!
We just tried their cloud offering and idk if that's new to them and still in "beta" but you are limited to the amount of VMs you can start because "your account is new" and I have not found a way to open a channel of communication where you can lift that. Other than that their prices are hard to beat
Basically, you don't. It's called "market timing", and it's widely considered a bad idea.

Market timing is basically trying to estimate the psychology of other people in the market, rather than looking at the underlying value of the assets. People are irrational, and they're not irrational in sufficiently predictable ways to consistently make money off of it. Over a sufficiently long term (perhaps 5 years), you'll do better on average to just let your money sit there through the declines.

That said... it's always really hard when markets get wildly overpriced, like they had been for at least 5 years. Rational analysis would say "Don't be involved with this". Smart people did... but they also had to basically sit on their money for years while the irrationally exuberant market got less irrational.

The saying is that the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Trying to out-irrational other people is theoretically profitable but practically impossible.
Yes, I do agree that it's territory of "incel" but you are isolating incel-ness with the alienation from the lonely people, there is definitely an intersection and it's huge.

The loneliness crisis is definitely a superset of the incel subset, but they can be independently treated because incels could be psychologically unwell.

The past two years increased the number of people pushed into this loneliness crisis well, and sadly it is not good for anyone.

But the main topic here is talking about men, so it is legitimate to talk about the "incel" problem. And definitely the writings are there, lonely angry men are both a danger to themselves and society.

Even if the remove the "incel-ness" of the "incels", you still have lonely men who could join the large superset of loneliness sufferers. And the economy is another factor in the equation why there is this crisis.

But a large group of men are definitely lonely, that's for sure.
I absolutely agree with this (this basically spills the beans [1] starting on page 21), but I'd bet good money most of this thinking originates from a single source and the others are just copycats. The reason why is that usually you can find one company/product that's "closer to the stream" in terms of purity and quality, while the others are noticeable knockoffs.

For example, a few years back there was a craze around workout wristbands (Jawbone Up, Fitbit, etc) and I'll never forget seeing Under Armour try to ship their own clone [2] and shouted (loud enough to startle the people I was with, not the rest of the store), in their store, "why the hell would you do that?!" The reason for the outburst was that I imagined the expenditure to make the thing—in terms of salaries, consultants, logistics, etc—dwarfed the actual sales (which any self-respecting CEO not caught in a mimetic haze would realize immediately).

I think this is a great "test case", so to speak, for a kind of modern, market-hybrid, computer-enabled central planning. Insulins, even highly effective modern insulins like Lantus (insulin glargine) and Humalog (insulin lispro), are very easy to synthesize in vast quantities, are made from cheap precursors, and are relatively easy to deliver compared to other drugs, requiring only commodity refrigeration. They are expensive literally only due to greed and the inherent inefficiency of the capitalist system in delivering life-critical services.

In addition, the state has an inherent interest in improving the lives of diabetics in this way; many type-1 diabetics rely on state programs to afford their insulin due to price-gouging, so the state may actually save money by doing this.

It doesn't surprise me that "sinister targeted" attacks are also "usually highly targeted".
I think Go's context objects serve a similar purpose to dynamic scope?

In this case, shouldn’t your anger be directed at the team? I understand these teams have quite a bit of money; why should he stay at a workplace where he isn’t valued? Many of us would do the same thing in a similar position.

TL;DR Quick way to create work-in-progress commits:

#!/bin/bash
# Perform a work-in-progress commit

# Add everything
git add $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)

# If the latest commit is already a WIP, amend it
if [[ $(git show --pretty=format:%s -s HEAD) = "WIP" ]]; then
git amend --no-edit --no-verify
else
git commit -m "WIP" --no-verify
fi

I wanted a way to quickly commit everything in a branch without thinking about it. This comes up a lot when I'm working on something and either need to pivot to something else or I want to pull down a PR and verify it without losing my work. I also wanted the option to quickly switch back to that branch, pick up where I left off, and be able to drop it again just as quickly without muddying up the commit history.

This script automatically stages everything and commits it as "WIP". If it detects that the most recent commit was a "WIP" then it amends the previous commit. No more weird stashing just to avoid losing my place
And, you can post as much BS you can make up. It is called trolling, and is unwelcome here.
To be a bit pedantic, lag and throughput aren't the main bugbears for wireless anymore, it's stability. If you live or work in a reasonably populated area, there is often enough Wi-Fi pollution around to make things like gaming or video calls painful. Sure, you'll get around 20 ms to the AP most of the time, the problem is it will occasionally spike to 200 or 2000 for a moment and there's very little you can do about it.

Not for me, but each to their own.

I like to play Stockfish, with the playing level set so I win or lose about half the time.

Lots of dark patterns at domain registrars in general. Just had to deal with Network Solutions and it was like navigating a series of expensive traps just to do something that should have been trivial.

I’m almost 50 and my kids are over 18. I don’t multiplayer game. I can tell you why I exclusively console game and don’t build pcs anymore: time.

I do enough computer work at work. When I get home I want to sit in my recliner and play games. I don’t want to get the thing to work. I never want to fix it. I never want to find an unofficial patch. I just want to play some games.

Every second I spend on the hobby not doing the hobby is wasted.
Author: please include the TLDR at the start of the post. Also, did you fail to renew the domain before it expired? If so, you should mention that upfront.

Through 90% of the post, I assumed that Godaddy unfairly canceled your domain. That doesn't seem to be the case. Granted, their termination notice timeframe is atrocious and that's the core issue.

Please fix the post so it doesn't misrepresent the actors in the situation.
The rate matrix is developing at is immensily impressive.

They have the resources, and they have the backing, something that is rare for such open source projects.

But its time for Matrix and Element to focus on UX.

Because IMO, Element's UX is holding back matrix, from the weird massage order by default, even though it supports chat bubbles, no normal user would know.

The jitsi integration is very limited, but that's getting changed soon.

The three plus signs are confusing, I once told someone to click the plus sign to join a room, and he didn't know which one to use.

The mobile apps are filled with bugs, especially around RTL and mention handling, but I hope this will change with the new "Element X" generation of apps.

People might say there are alternative clients, but they are often late on every feature, so Element is the real one everyone uses.

One wish is for matrix to support multi-domain servers, so it can be easy to use as with email for example.

But that will also require a way to export and import all chat history, which AFAIK still doesn't exist, and also a better way to handle delegation without a website, the SRV way is too complicated, maybe a new TXT record ?

I told them about it, they are aware of it and it may come in Matrix 2.0:

I abandoned bluetooth early on, because I kept having issues. Stubborn pairing is still a pain.

For music, I bought a DLNA renderer (more like a Chromecast), and just assumed that lots of software could remotely talk to it. But about the only software that almost works with it is something with a poor UI from yesteryear on Android. And music service support is hit and miss. So I'm edging towards Bluetooth now.

That said, yesterday I resorted to CDs. And today, I've jacked a spare phone into an auxiliary port. And I won't use my phone for Bluetooth music mainly because if I walk out the room or want to take a call it all goes tits up.

I've had Bluetooth on Debian Linux on my Thinkpad for years, and different releases have been hit and miss for things like file transfer. And address book syncing. And that's not confined to Linux either.

When it works... It does feel like magic.

Really I want to easily route sound from one app to a particular device or devices with easy remote management. Voice control is a bit hit and miss. But hands free remote is a good idea.

UI is very esoteric, like when you are offered a list of Bluetooth services. A phone I had would offer itself as a remote device or something, but I never figured out how and what it did. Or the worry that your phone might turn into a data access point accidentally.

Maybe I view the legal substrate as a bit more malleable than most. Just spitballing.

Raise the burden of proof requirements for warrants in abortion related cases from probable cause to something more strict ie: some credible evidence, preponderance of the evidence, clear and convincing evidence, or beyond reasonable doubt, and introduce criminal penalties for complying with warrants that don't meet this threshold.

Introduce criminal penalties for exfiltrating abortion related evidence found during a warrant across state lines.

I'm sure there are an infinite number of much more creative ways to construct such laws. Being more familiar with evidentiary procedures would make me feel more able to derive some more subtle and effective requirements. My gut says that this being a "states issue" allows for more legislative flexibility, but then again, I'm no lawyer or legislative analyst.

Broadly speaking, the rules which govern search warrants are themselves laws which can and have been amended. See https://casetext.com/statute/california-codes/california-pen...
