The previous CS major declaration standard was roughly the median grade (B+) over three intro courses. The intro courses have standard "grade bins" to prevent sections from turning into the Hunger Games. In recent years, far more students were getting into L&S CS than into EECS.

The article is about support roles as a leading role for contract-based hiring.

>Tech companies often hire contractors for support roles, especially when those roles are in high demand or might be outsourced to other countries within a relatively short time frame.

From Google's own page about their contractors, where they spend paragraphs justifying why this practice is normal/acceptable because they're ashamed of it and otherwise hide it https://about.google/extended-workforce/ :

>We contract with businesses around the world to provide specialized services where we don’t have appropriate in-house expertise or resources, often in fields that require significant specialized training like cafe operations, medical care, transportation, customer support [...]
I'm not sure where you are located but in Northern New England this is very untrue. Maine, New Hampsire, and Vermont all have a LARGE number of diy log cabins built. I've stayed in several and I'm in the early planning of building a house (not log cabin, it's a long house with builtin green house/barn sections similar to the long house on the Apple TV show home). There are many places in the US that allow you to DIY your own home, though the majority are very rural which is a MASSIVE benefit IMO.
I’d love to learn more about the RF side of this. In their marketing demo they showed that in order to avoid needing a traditional antenna, the user will be guided to point the phone at a satellite during the few minutes required for transmission.

I’d love to know what the antenna arrangement is. I’d have guessed something like a log periodic laid out on the inside of the rear case.
If one looks at the past 10 years of revenue and company size as a whole of Globalstar, it's absolutely minuscule as a corporate entity, apple could buy them on a casual whim.

Going with a variable rate mortgage would have been better at least 75% of the time, as possibly as much as 90%:

* https://www.ratespy.com/the-most-misconstrued-study-in-mortg...

* http://astarmortgage.com/pdf/moshe.pdf

We just happening to be in a rising rate environment currently.

There are two types of variable mortgages:

> With a fixed payment, when prime rate rises you simply pay more interest and less principal, and vice versa when prime falls. But your actual payment stays the same (unless rates soar so much that you’re not even covering the minimum interest due, which is rare).

> That’s opposed to an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) where both your payment and interest cost vary as prime rate fluctuates.

* https://www.ratespy.com/offers-fixed-payment-variable-mortga...

> With a VRM, a rise in the interest rate leaves the regular mortgage payment unchanged but the interest charged rises and the amount of the payment allocated to pay down the principal balance drops and this means it will take longer to pay-off the mortgage. A lower rate has the opposite effect accelerating your pace of mortgage repayment.

> With an ARM, a rise in the interest rate results in a rise in the regular mortgage payment to cover the higher interest cost to ensure that the dollar amount allocated to pay down the mortgage principal remains intact. On the flip side, a drop in rates will drop your regular payment without accelerating the pace with which you repay the debt.

YES!

And this freedom is one of the best arguments for universal healthcare as a right and universal basic income. So many people have amazing ideas that they will implement and literally pay it forward in multiples if given the chance. I'm quite convinced it would enormously magnify the productivity, creativity, and happiness of an entire society.

I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, overlooking "The Split" [I-75/I-24]. From my balcony, I am able to observe the traffic (some five or so miles away, using binoculars for details). This location's primary unique employer are transportation logistics companies.

One of my neighbors works for one of the tech back-end logistics companies, a subsidiary of UPS and HQ'd here in town; he has pointed out that when the semi-trailer traffic goes *up* the economy is doing *well* (... and vice-versa).

Right now, as I sit here typing this from my home office, overlooking the Interstates... the amount of semi-trailer traffic has been reduced. I'm starting to notice empty areas of my local Wal-Mart again, too (e.g. Yogurts / dairy, recently).
But it will probably reduce the number of casual pranksters.

Also, difficult-to-use is better than zero connectivity, which is the current situation.
Just wait a few years when photovoltaic roofs will become the standard. Cars seem to get driven 10000km/year on average in Spain, which is around 27km/day which is doable with solar car roofs. I guess especially for people living in cities it should be less.

For the first 10 months in 2020, the Adirondacks had 245 search and rescue events[1] and it's a fairly small park nationally. This could save a huge amount of park service resources if they could be given the GPS cords to go directly to rather then spend hours searching. Expand that nation wide, it's a huge public win, and a great safety benefit to the individuals to be able to get help as soon as possible if something happens.

I was unable to find nation wide stats on search and rescue events.

the importance for me isn't actually the idle battery life itself (even for phones or laptops that isnt the case). The high battery life allows me to use GPS for 8-12 hours on my Coros, which is usually >20 days of idle use with infrequent HR, elevation, etc.

I'm still not convinced that Bluetooth earbuds are safe, and yes, I'm aware they don't produce ionizing radiation. No one here is concerned about having them in your ear canal for hours every day for years is essentially no worse than wearing a hat that keeps your head equally warm? What is the most convincing, clear evidence of a lack of long term health issues?
> Charities are often corrupt griftworks. It's hard to know which ones are and which ones aren't.

1. Could you quantify "often"? Are you suggesting at least 10%? If so, that's a bold empirical claim that needs justification. If it's under 10%, then giving $100, even when you know $10 goes to "waste" shouldn't be a deterrent.

2. It's not hard to find charities that are not corrupt (and most-importantly are cost-effective) with the money you give, look at this list of very thoroughly-vetted charities: https://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities
IMO Firefox on an Android is better than anything you can get on iOS. It fully supports uBlock Origin!

It’s upsetting how (non-AirPods) device switching — even Bluetooth 5 multipoint — is still just meh.

Some devices accept connect requests and gracefully disconnect from the current device (good but manual), some just ignore them, some don’t gracefully disconnect causing the original device to ping-pong reconnect, etc. And “real” BT5 multipoint can also break if an app happens to use “phone call” audio priority, and you get yanked off the second device.

The only device I have that does it well (and with non-Apple platforms) is an Xbox Wireless Headset, and that’s only because it literally has 2 wireless audio chipsets connected at the same time: Xbox Audio and Bluetooth. Sadly that means it’s also 2x the power and 0.5x the battery life.

But yeah, switching from iPhone to iPad with AirPods is really nice. I wish I had that on Windows (without MagicPods).
I've often thought that would be something useful to do, especially since renters often have such a hard time saving (but often are quite able to pay rent on time) - just collect some portion into an account (the deposit account you likely have anyway) and then when they leave fund it all back to them (minus any repairs).

Looks on people's faces when you say "so we needed to repaint, so your $1,000 deposit has left over ... $3k."
Yet another of those I went somewhere else and it wasn't the paradise I expected it to be stories. Maybe the problem(s) lie not with the place, but with the person.

I know people who've fitted in very well in a new place and new culture. It took time and effort, but for them it was worth it. And I know others who couldn't or wouldn't adapt or try to adapt. They constantly whined about how it wasn't like wherever they came from.

Just because you have a bad experience doesn't mean that others will have the same experience.

Sadly no, our unit is in use! We have adapted to a model of "here's what our costs are to maintain and insure the space. Adjust your payments based on your income and ability to save."

We've had people rent for nothing, rent in exchange for teaching a skill or hobby, pay at cost, or pay more (the money is held to offset people who cannot afford to pay the full cost of room).

In general, our rental timelines are short, 3 to 12 months usually. People often need a stepping stone to get themselves a leg up and move on to something else. We're happy to make that possible.
That doesn't work. I set my iPhone to cap sounds at 85db but I guess it doesn't cap the passthrough noise from transparency. In the case of the bug zapper, it actually amplifies it.
Have they actually said that it doesn't work with transmitters? I'm trying to find out myself but the "dive computer" functionality comes from an app made by Huish/Oceanic; it might be able to talk to Oceanic transmitters. Dive logs and stuff are in fact available in the companion iOS app.
That's good to know.

AFAIK, that research did not make into the mainstream news. But then, geological research never does.
Actually, you can download the newer version of an app on a newer iphone and then download a version that works on the old iphone from the Purchased page.

Apple makes it difficult but keeping my iPhone 5S is still going years after iOS 12 is no longer "cool"

State of the art python packaging must include support for common use cases such as conda+machine learning.

It’s incredible how even Julia’s Pkg.jl supports better python packaging in combination with conda than the official python packaging tools.

This is very clearly a question of the culture of the core python developers (such as brett cannon) who seem to think the machine learning people with their compilers and JITs are not an important part of the community.
Given how much later they seemed to have done it, I'd imagine either they didn't come to the conclusion about it being unethical until later, or needing the money at the time enough to do it anyways and later having enough financial safety to be able to pay it back.

Something must be wrong on your machine. On my Mac Mini and Air (m1) Firefox scrolling is extremely smooth and feels much more native than Chrome. Overscrolling has worked great since they revamped the engine, even in nested scroll views!

Firefox's scrolling engine is so good, CSS scroll snapping feel more native than Safari's implementation (with chrome feeling the least native - too little friction and takes too long to stop moving on large scroll snap areas) [1].

Oh fun. Just what Python needs more of, this...

try:
value = int(value_to_parse)
except ValueError:

__old_int_max_str_digits = sys.get_int_max_str_digits()
sys.set_int_max_str_digits(0)
value = int(value_to_parse)
sys.set_int_max_str_digits(__old_int_max_str_digits)

Or maybe just this:

class UnboundedIntParsing:
def __enter__(self):
self.__old_int_max_str_digits = sys.get_int_max_str_digits()
return self

def __exit__(self, *args):
sys.set_int_max_str_digits(self.__old_int_max_str_digits)

with UnboundedIntParsing as uip:

Language level interfaces would be great, but they could also easily have the same problem Abstract supertypes currently have, of being poorly defined semantically, and hence being less useful than they could be. The main change needs to happen in the community, in terms of

* more formal specifications for Abstract types your package defines

--- including in the language itself; I understand there's recently efforts to define what an `AbstractString` is, exactly, and there needs to be a lot more of that

* tests that test the limits of this specification by defining new types that are very different from existing ones, but conform to the specification (rather than the current usual practice of just testing with already existing types only)

* More integration of things like OffsetArrays, DimensionalData, AxisArrays, etc. in test suites

* An explicit "Scope and Limitations" page in package docs (like Revise.jl's Limitations page [1]) that mention what has been tested and what hasn't/isn't meant to be supported

I'm sure there's many other low hanging fruits that the community could address by itself - it's pretty late here and these are what my brain could come up with right now. But I see this largely as a community best practices and culture problem, that language features can help with to some extent, but needs to be solved at the social level.

> Just repeal the 16th amendment - the income tax is too intrusive

Fun fact: the 16th Amendment does not give Congress the power to levy taxes on income. Congress already had that power.

What the 16th Amendment does is directly overturn SCOTUS's Pollock decision, which ruled that a tax on income derived from rent was effectively a tax on property and therefore a direct tax, which the Constitution requires to be apportioned to the states based on population. Even if you repealed the 16th Amendment, it's doubtful that modern SCOTUS would uphold the precedent of Pollock anyways (already shortly after the passage of the 16th Amendment, SCOTUS effectively overruled Pollock on the grounds that income taxes were indirect taxes anyways). This makes the 16th Amendment arguably the single most useless amendment to the US constitution.
Is the marker the critical thing here, though? I just wrote in another comment that I think the Zig compiler can warn about using an unsafe pointer.

The critical thing, I believe, is that unsafe can be discovered and audited. Unsafe pointers have a different type in Zig, so they are separable from the rest of the language, unless I'm missing something.

The bottom line is that in a memory-safe language it should be possible to find all the unsafety and reason about it. For spatial memory safety that's not possible in C, but it is in Zig.
The example from Martin's book looks odd to me.

The comment is AFTER the code that it is commenting on. I can't remember seeing this before. Only before or at most at the end of the line.

Is that custom in any programming language community?
yeah, i had hope with the "open Messages" prompt on the satellite finder view, but then they didn't mention it unfortunately
