Some teachers like to play god in the classroom. Source: I'm a teacher. I try not to play god and impose non-sensical rules, but I could if I wanted to and nobody could do anything about it. Parents could complain, my department head could try to talk sense into me, but if I impose a rule saying that citations must be written in Comic Sans size 11 font with every third word italicized, then I'm within my rights to take points off for deviations from the assignment instructions. Society places a lot of trust in teachers, and there are few checks against bad teachers.
I remember the first time a server caught fire in the closet we kept the rack in. Backups were kept on a server right below the one on fire. But, y'know, we saved money.
I understand where you are coming from but something about it doesn't seem quite right. I remember watching footage of 9/11 on the news while the event was happening. A Gen Z-er watching the same footage on YouTube could be said to have shared the same experience under your stance, but I feel like most people would disagree. I picked a significant world event as my example, but I could also see this applied to culturally relevant memes from the past.
Is there somewhere I can send a resume? Hah
I keep seeing more and more references to the physical media lately. I have myself gotten urges the past couple years and rapidly built up physical media collections for things which I had always wanted. I sense we are going retro again and it will come back with a vengeance. I have noticed it's a market which is getting hotter lately.

> ...that is a strategic blunder of historic proportions...

That's putting it lightly. No one who made these decisions actually understood the sophisticated interlocking nature of technology and interplay of knowledge innovation.

And now that advanced techniques in weaving have to be rebuilt at the operational floor practically from the foundations on up to be re-purposed to advanced laminate manufacturing, do we realize that wholesale offshoring and dismantling our "low-margin" textile industry was perhaps a little premature...

One of but countless examples where Western financialization interests not only shot themselves in the foot, but the shot the EMT's that came to try to help them.
> What does that mean being "FAANG level"?

Money.

Lack of talent at the job, or lack of ability to perform in their notoriously-grueling interviews (I'm brain-dead after ~2 hours of a normal interview battery, personally) means that a whole lot of devs can never make FAANG-tier money, because they can't hack it at the job, because they can't hack it at the interview for one or more of several reasons, or because being pretty sure that the second thing is the case means they never make the enormous time investment to try.

So we're stuck in the middle of the trimodal dev-comp curves, permanently. Except for those stuck in the bottom one. Those two curves are most developers.

So we're "not FAANG-level", the most important consequence of which is we do alright (middle-class lifestyle, judged by what we used to consider middle-class before that started to slip downward to include all non-poor on account of the middle class shrinking and everyone wanting to avoid acknowledging it) but will never, ever get rich (upper-middle money or higher) working our day job.
Red Hat Ceph Storage and ODF continue. The same team will continue to develop newer releases, now with dual IBM and RHT corporate access.

Open Source commitment, upstream first, and foundation continue as before.

I am a member of the team, and while we are certainly adjusting to the news, we are also pretty excited. Red Hat has been generous to Ceph, but it could not take Ceph beyond platform storage for OpenStack and Kubernetes — we want to reach for the full “Linux of Storage” original vision.
So a wrapper with a random legitimate-lloking URL, a custom CSS styling which would serve wikipedia content with some random wacky headers and footers would do as a source in your kid's school?
Does anyone have an idea about the infrastructure requirements and the cost of running an instance with the size of mastodon.technology?
which are active and in wide use?
The same applies to school and teachers. Everyone is taught some bullshit in school. I just think the difference is quantity of bullshit (the internet has more).
But did Baby Shark examine how America views war and its effects on the people who were not just in combat but trying to pick up the pieces of the destruction it produced? MASH was one of the first prime time TV shows that made people think about the cost of war and its ramification to society.

As someone who has no kids, I haven't seen Baby Shark, so maybe it does that too.

Are you saying you want access to each of those or you want your own private resource for each of those? They are very different questions with different answers.
Not all content there is good. I see the pages on some political content, or in general a lot of content about country X (intentionally omitted) are of pretty poor quality.

> whatsapp takes it further by refusing to work without full access to your contacts

I’ve never given WhatsApp access to my contacts. Works fine. Just don’t get numbers matched to contacts, which makes sense.
I started playing drums when I was 8 years old. A few months later, the movie "That Thing You Do" came out. It's about a drummer who joins a band and becomes a famous rock star. It had such a HUGE impact on me, from that moment until I was about 24 years old I KNEW my life's purpose. I was going to be a rock star. Nothing else was possible, and nothing else mattered.

This lead me down a path I now regret. All my friends were other musicians. All we wanted to do was smoke weed, play music, and party. Sure, I had lots of fun along the way, but once I got old enough to actually experience the life of a touring musician I had to accept that it wasn't for me. I wasn't happy with the life style. Turns out, I'm actually happier working hard and living a "normal" life.

Luckily, I was able to go to college and get a pretty good job, but I feel like I will never meet my true potential. I spent so many years taking the easy path that I now struggle with mediocrity. All because my 8-year-old brain made a decision that it had no business making.

If I could go back in time, I'd focus on going to college straight out of high school and developing myself as much as possible.
Regarding #1:

You can set a backup email address for Google accounts if they're using Google email addresses, but you can't do this if they're using non-Google email addresses as the primary address, such as the one in that link.
I'm logged in to such an account right now and there's no way to do this. The account primary email is also set as the recovery email address and there's no way to add another.

It's actually deceptive to the user to even call it a recovery email address in this case, since Google will never offer to alternatively send a verification code there if the 2FA device is unavailable.
> I can definitely understand not realizing that you could lose access to your account if you lose your phone number. But once it happens the first time, could you not pick any free email that does not require 2FA, and warn fellow homeless to avoid gmail?

Almost every free email service I've tried now requires a phone number to setup. Even protonmail required it for a brief while, although they now are back to captcha and a stern warning. I actually can't think of another free service besides protonmail that this isn't now true for.

An annoying trick some of them use is to allow you to setup the account and then lock it some time later. I've seen on immediate login (irritating waste of time) or after you've used it for awhile (what you used the account for is now held hostage unless you cough up a phone number).
And arguably the venerable Apache HTTP Server · https://httpd.apache.org/ :-)
That's a bad example because it's still a crime to open and enter an unlocked door.

It's a misrepresentation because the law requires the protection to be effective. If I mail you a locked box alongside the key, the lock cannot be reasonably described as "effective" in terms of controlling your access.
I was one of the first people to take that course when it first launched in person at UBC! There were a dozen people in that first year pilot program.

It gets so much hate for not being a “traditional” Intro to CS course. And yet, learning about recursion so quickly and getting such a strong foundation with it is invaluable for figuring out new ways to solve problems.
It’s one of the only courses that I personally think taught me something so fundamental that I still use all the time.

Gregor is also a gem of a human. I’m incredibly grateful I’ve been able to get to know and learn from him while at UBC.
In fact I have raised kids of 18, 6, 2, and 1.

THe internet is not appropiate for children. Full stop.
Then you change your password to a strong one and turn off 2FA
>are objectively ugly

Not if subjects disagree...

E.g. fake blur most would find bad only when it's badly done - when it exposes edges and so on. If it's done right in a image, they'd have no issue with it, nor find it "objectively ugly".
When you both play blindfolded, it becomes a meta game of knowing your opponent and how he plays, what patterns he uses, and then trying to change your own patterns to exploit what he thinks your moves are going to be and so on.

For character, I usually just let the game pick a random one for me. I found that after the initial fun of learning everyone's combos and special moves, the basic kicks and punches were all you needed. That was the real secret to MK: Precise use of high kick, sweep, uppercut, and block could pretty much beat anyone who made a mistake. If I wanted to show off (MK3), I'd pick Sindel and not allow one hit against me. I think I was the only person in town who used that character.

Another fun variant was to offer to only use one attack button (high punch, high kick, low punch, or low kick), and allowing your opponent to use all of them. Bonus fun: Let your opponent choose which button you are limited to!
There are several tier-two clouds that offer GPUs but I think they generally fall prey to the many of the same issues you'll find with AWS. There is a new generation of accelerator native clouds e.g. Paperspace (https://paperspace.com) that cater specifically to HPC, AI, etc. workloads. The main differentiators are:
- much larger GPU catalog
- support for new accelerators e.g. Graphcore IPUs
- different pricing structure that address problematic areas for HPC such as egress

However, one of the most important differences is the lack of unrelated web services related components that pose a major distraction/headache to users that don't have a DevOps background (which AWS obviously caters to). AWS can be incredibly complicated. Simple tasks are encumbered by a whole host of unrelated options/capabilities and the learning curve is very steep. A platform that is specifically designed to serve the scientific computing audience can be much more streamlined and user-friendly for this audience.

Disclosure: I work on Paperspace.
Also, if you do need to move to a different platform, you can always export all the Notion content with the click of a button.
I think this comment gets to the essence better than anything else: passion.

Something is going to need to motivate you through the process of learning, failing, and growing in a new field. If your motivation is primarily based in getting away from what you are doing now then I suspect you have a difficult road ahead regardless of whether you change or not.

But if you have some kind of passion about what you'd like to be doing instead then you've got the most valuable compass and sail you can ask for.
Yes! After playing a ton of rounds, you get to where you can visualize in your head what is happening based on the sound, timing, and what you've done with the controls. As the fight goes on though it gets increasingly more difficult because you don't know what the other player has done with their controls. So, winning is possible, but extremely difficult. Easier against AI players especially the lower difficulty settings that are much more predictable.
EU has placed a blanket ban on crypto services to all Russian entities
Is there another technique for effortlessly bootstrapping a contact list? Finding someone requires some kind of lookup/search. Using PII makes a lot of sense because that's how people identify each other. Anything out-of-band is quite complex.

If I told my mom to install some app and we'd connect to each other using some random IDs, we'd probably still be using SMS.
I don't see how that would follow?

Lets assume that today that Signal is able to deliver messages securely between users, without maintaining a plaintext association between sender and receiver's phone numbers.

Why would switching identifiers from phone numbers to some other identifier require that they change how that works? (Other than the obvious 'substitute out a phone number for some other identifier' thing)
Because of their threat model. Signal has very good e2e encryption, but somebody could take over the account over SMS (note: they would not access any encrypted message, and that would reset the key so the contacts would know that a change happened and could verify the key if it matters for them).

Telegram, on the other hand, is mostly not e2e encrypted, so their cloud can read all of your messages.

Pick your favourite.
A former colleague did his PHD in particle physics with a novel technique (matrix element method). I can't really explain it, but it is extremely CPU intensive. That working group did it on CERN's resources, and they had to borrow quotas from a bunch of other people. For fun they calculated how much it would have cost on AWS and came up with something ridiculous like 3 million euros.
It was around then, and the time that OS/2 came out with its ~3MB memory requirement that a memory plant went offline and caused prices to spike.
Let me spell out the analogy:

Gladwell says you need practice 10,000 hours. In my analogy of the situation, I claim I need 500g of flour.

You complain that there may be other things needed in addition to practice therefore the need for practice is bullshit. This is analogized by "you" saying that the need for other ingredients in bread somehow invalidates that the flour is needed.

The point I'm trying to make is this: Stating that something is necessary but not sufficient, does not invalidate claims about what is necessary. In the quotes, I saw no claim that only 10k hours of practice was required, just that they were necessary.
As I am fond of saying: identity is the issue with end to end encrypted messaging. So this is interesting in that it is a direct attack on the weakness of using access to a phone number as proof of identity.
Right. I would let my kids walk 1/2 a mile to the store before I would let them use social media.
I had never seen that video before.

Knowing that perhaps our best example of "unifying culture", something that has been watched an incredible 11 billion times, is a cartoon song where 80+ percent of the words are "doo" repeated over and over...

Maybe Armageddon isn't such a bad thing.
I think all the tech that's in those Sony's would probably allow for some more shots to turn out, you'll get really good Auto Focus as well as a crazy number of pictures in burst mode - great for chasing kids around.

If you are looking to get more into photography, and honestly it's a hobby that can pay nice dividends as a parent, I might suggest looking at a used body for an interchangeable lens camera and a prime lens to get some of those nice family shots. With another point and shoot, while the option is there to go full-auto, I never found that I did.
Buy this [1]. You only need to be disciplined enough to store all your electronic items (phone, tablets, mouse/kb usb receiver) into this box. You can set the number of hours etc. It's better you switch to mouse/keyboard which are unusable without usb receiver, so the receiver is dropped into the box; you have to ditch bluetooth mouse/kb.

Writing programs that work is indeed hard. I suspect that the folks writing code for space exploration are good at their job. But it is different dealing with adversarial behavior.
Coda is much more techie-focused, their powerpacks are 2nd to nobody.
Notion is more for everyone. Literally after spending a week - it's pretty obvious how to use Notion because it's not super-feature-heavy. It just works.

Basically if anyone wants to build an extremely beautifully crafted UI on top of Google Drive/Docs, you could perhaps have the same advantages of Notion in Google Docs (that would be my dream tbh)
More than two layers of management = a company that is bleeding money. More than one layer generally already means idiotic decisions are being made. I sort of hunger for an example of zero layers.
How would it do that? While the Play Services app has more privileges than many other apps on a device, it's still running in an application sandbox, and shouldn't have permission to read the Signal app's data or attach to its process or anything like that.
I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about, and you should refrain from speaking on what you don't know.
As valued as SciHub and LibGen may be, they are repositories of mostly disjoint materials. They are not seamlessly interconnected.

As a very basic bar to strive for, I don't think either offer full text search over their contents.

Any recommendedation for third party tools that might help?
I've had the misfortune of using ceph both supported and unsupported. IMO, it's a nightmare to use, it constantly has problems, there's tons of bugs in every release. We're currently several releases behind because there's some kind of major problem with each of the newer versions.

It's sad, because there's a lot of genius level people that work on Ceph. But the project as a whole is not high enough quality to be reliable.

I imagine most people that work on ceph (eg, the code, not the rest of the org) will want to move to greener pastures soon. Anyone that wants to work for IBM pretty much already did.
Map Explainer: The Caucasus Region
Yes, this was the best kept strategy. Newcomers especially would focus heavily on learning the special moves, assuming the regular kicks/punches to be ineffective (or less effective). Big mistake.
It might appear to be a thermite kit at first glance, but this mixture won't do anything. You need metallic aluminum plus iron oxide to make thermite. A mixture of powdered aluminum oxide and iron oxide is about as inert a mixture as you can make. It will reliably snuff out burning magnesium ribbon.
Since 2004, Wikipedia has gotten better and random pages on the internet have gotten worse. Uncovering useful primary sources on the internet that aren't paywalled has had a steady upwards-trend of difficulty.
True, but one hopes (perhaps foolishly) that there's enough oversight between various parents talking to their kids about what they're learning, other teachers, and standardized testing.

It worked for most of us, but politics is creeping into everything and budgets are getting cut all over the place.
>You can audit your Signal client app (which is open source) and see exactly what it sends, and how.

See my other question. Audit how? Sure, you can examine the source.

But how can one tell the app blob in their phone is the same as the one produced if you build the code?
this is so cool! Pascal code without the parentheses.
Companies with highly trained support staff regularly fall for these attacks.

The answer has been figured out by the highly trained engineers. It's "don't provide account recovery options that bypass 2fa". Yeah that sucks for a segment if people, but it sucks less than regularly getting your account stolen due to a social engineering attack. There really, truly, doesn't exist a panacea. You don't have and can't create an oracle that knows when an account recovery attempt is legitimate or not.
Except that if you are not using secret chats (most people are not), then Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted, is it? Meaning that the server can read the messages.
> If manufacturing overhead is low, two chiplets give you twice the transistors at twice the cost

That doesn't take into account yields. One chip with twice the transistors is physically larger than two chips with half as many, and more likely to have a defect during production.
In a Way, 3D Scanning Is over a Century Old
+1 as someone who took and TAed it for multiple years at UBC. The people who came in with preconceived ideas of CS were the ones that struggled the most.

We had a bypass exam, which was more or less the final for the course. If you passed it, you got the credit. I don’t think a single person passed it while I was there.
Wow, only California would believe that handing out money combats inflation. To combat inflation, you need to reduce the supply of money, not increase it.
That student was not rejected because of their race. They were rejected on merit.

Their grades and test scores were median among admitted cohorts at the "reject" institutions, and there's nothing else of note to an elite admissions office on their resume.

I'll say it again. Again, from the perspective of the schools on that list, his kid's grades and test scores are average, not exceptional.

The student meets the minimum bar for consideration, but so do 10X of other students competing for X seats.

The father is suffering snowflake syndrome. Participating in off-season JV track or placing third at one local high school debate tournament are not the sort of accomplishments that elite institutions care about, and nor should they, lest people demonstrating truly elite merit in those endeavors while also receiving top grades and test scores have their very real accomplishments cheapened.

So, the applicant is an average student and in every other way not notable. What would an elite university admit? Again, from their perspective, his academics aren't elite. They are average.

Ironically, the comment ostensibly arguing for merit is actually just saying "my kid should get more credit than is due and if he doesn't it's because of racism".
You can indeed polish all sorts of things (aluminum, silverware, car headlights…) with toothpaste. It's an abrasive.

More specifically: A public CDN whose content they don't own, and that can change at any point in time.

If it would be a private CDN which points only to the content they explicitly published as part of a build&release process they wouldn't have the problem.

If you rely on public artifacts that others published, all your availability and security guarantees are gone.
