I'm guessing this is a private university? As long as you don't look very obviously hostile I find it hard to even wave down campus security, let alone them caring enough to ID people on campus. Computer labs and especially some science areas are locked off by specific keycards, but that's not something even existing students could do without asking for clearance.

But on the flip side, there was a private art university that did want my id when I drove on. They generally let me in no problem as long as I stated my business (Library), but I guess they wanted to make sure they were aware of any non-students coming in.
Grooming maybe?
Everything is so accessible now that the kids with a desire to learn do so at a rate that far exceeds anything possible with some computer magazines and a shitty implementation of BASIC, which was all some people had when they were kids back in the day.

Of course, that means that the kids that did end up programming back then were self-selected to be really motivated. If not, they wouldn't have done it. There's a serious selection bias if you're looking at kids who programmed then and now, the population of programming children is much larger (and much more average) than it was decades ago.

When it comes to WYSIWYG game creation the name that immediately springs to mind is RPGMaker, though while the platforms are high quality, they are very much not high fidelity. WYSIWYG doesn't work that well together with high fidelity anyway, placing a thousand little griblets by hand can get tedious after a while.
The thing with the transition to Meta is the ability to marry hardware and software together which super critical for VR to click.

Yeah, I saw their excuse for focusing on over three hours a day. I don't understand why you dump that data rather than use it somehow, like a third cohort.
That's the other extreme of the supply demand curve, where demand outstrips supply, prices go up. There were shortages industry wide.

> said vested interest is sufficiently strong that we never actually abolished slavery in the US

Actually, the whole point of the Confederacy seceding was it needed to protect itself from free market capitalism, because it made the Southern economy uncompetitive.

> we simply replaced plantations with private prisons

The numbers don't remotely compare with the number of slaves in the Confederacy.

> private prisons, penal slavery, and the broader prison-industrial complex are all the direct consequences of "free" market capitalism

They are consequences of the government, not free markets. The Soviet gulags were penal slavery camps, which the communists liked because they could work people to death in them, saving money on food, housing, and medical care.

Penal slave labor long predated free markets.

A theory I see all the time is that slavery is somehow more efficient than free labor. The most obvious refutation of that is the United States during WW2. The US free market was able to not only conduct a war on both sides of the planet, it also supplied the British and Soviet war machines. The US didn't just win, it buried the Axis powers under an avalanche of advanced military equipment and supplies of every sort.

No slave based labor could possibly compete with that.

P.S. The Union also buried the Confederacy under a similar avalanche.
> I agree with you VR is not the future but AR definitely is.

It's interesting to see the differences of opinions on this subject. I believe this will pan out in the opposite direction.

As a consumer, AR seems so weird to me. I don't want to put on glasses or goggles to see overlays of the world around me. I want interfaces to be simpler, not more complicated and crowded.

While AR hardware has improved, the software remains reminiscent of Nintendo DS Face Raiders [1]. I'm just not being sold on a day to day use case for the tech. Maybe Apple or Meta will teach us otherwise, but I can't even imagine it at this point.

I do see AR being useful for a limited number of industrial applications. You already see quasi-AR virtual film cameras working well (cameras without a lens that capture xyz-orientation in virtual space for the purpose of pointing a virtual camera). But these don't even use optical overlays.

On the other hand, VR enables infinite workspaces, telepresence, new kinds of 3D creative tools that place you inside the thing you're building, world isolation, closer to full sensory immersion, etc. Rather than a tool that serves as an overlay of the existing world, it puts you into a new type of cognitive body altogether. Metaphors of movement combined with spatial reasoning can unlock new abilities for the human brain. Like gestures, but full body and mind.

In the US, we used to amend constitutions fairly regularly (at the Federal, State levels, but I’m most familiar with Federal and New York), especially through WWII.

With a few exceptions (the prohibition is the biggest one that springs to mind), the trend line has generally been progressive.

We stopped making meaningful changes around the 1960s, read into that what we may. Regardless, our governmental institutions have proven to be fundamentally unmalleable (brittle?) in the last 60 years, which is a huge break from the norm.

The only other period comparable to this was the three generations leading into the American Civil War, which went 60 years without a federal amendment. But that period saw tons of “progress” at the state level, whereas this period has none.

I don’t have any conclusions, just food for thought.
AFAICT it's not legal. There was a single (successful!) study done but the drug was never put up for approval as a veterinary medicine. I believe they were looking to use it for humans and it got stuck in limbo there.

That said, many vets will still source and administer it. Our vet (not the initial emergency vet mentioned above) was very supportive.

Even if there's nothing an educator can do to fix it, what they can do is give the student a failing grade for failing to complete the course. It is a slap in the face to every student who shows up and does the work to "socially promote" kids who don't do the work. Combined with the ongoing elimination of standardized tests, we are left with no metrics to judge students. It is no surprise that our colleges and other "higher educational institutions" are filled with people who should not be there, because they don't even have a basic education.
It's private, for-profit, and somewhat tax-exempt. And now it's exempt from outsiders?
Co-author of multiple QUIC libraries here: Even though QUIC uses a connectionless protocol (UDP) and QUIC allows client IP addresses to change during a lifetime of a connection, a QUIC connection is actually extremely stateful - a lot more than TCP. There's lots of state for each stream (including potentially very fragmented send and receive buffers) and the overall connection. You could potentially serialize that, but it would be even more work than for TCP.

Normal applications would typically just make sure the client can reconnect as fast as possible (and QUIC can do it with 0 to 1RTT), and then have suitable application level semantics that limit any availability issues when a reconnect happens (e.g. for large downloads you can restart using a ranged request. For persistent connection the server can tell the client with a GOAWAY that it might shut down and the client can reconnect early to avoid running into the availability issue).

My understanding is that for [1], their frontend proxy still is a single QUIC peer which contains all state of the actual connection - otherwise they also couldn't do connection level flow control and overall connection congestion control. That layer now just instructs another server about packet layouts to send, but doesn't make the other layer handle QUIC transmission completely on its own.
One issue is that today's students rely on electronic devices that are much more prone to sprouting legs when left unattended. The Athena combo and the weight of a workstation made that less of an issue in our day.

A part of me agrees with the statement. But how do you gauge what kind of an effect (negative, specifically) porn consumption has? Excessive usage does affect an individuals life negatively. What about minimal to moderate usage?

I suppose in many ways it's similar to alcohol. The ones who can handle their booze and drink responsibly have no issues.

I know that you haven't made any explicit statement about whether pornography should be banned. According to you, what would an ideal solution to this problem look like?
> Progressive values generally mean trying to make changes [to improve society].

So I think you are technically correct on the definition of progressive and conservative but I would take issue that the progressive side is always trying to change things to better society. After all prohibition, legalized lobotomies, and eugenics we're a big part of the progressive policy in the late 1800s and early 1900s, of course so we're things like labor laws, income tax and other more ambiguous things like the direct election of senators.

My point is not all movement is forward movement.
Cool. I hope your students are finding places at some good studios.

They lost a bunch due to licensing over the years. Data online suggests it’s 20k globally so you probably wouldn’t need to cache all of them at a particular edge
The way I think of this is if Apple had to invent the smartphone when only desktop and laptop computers existed. No dumbphones. No mp3 players. No other second rate smartphones. The budget would far exceed $250M if that was the case, since so many of those things had resulted in supply chains for commodity parts that could, worst case, be modified slightly to fit Apple's needs. (Not that they didn't invent anything in order to produce the iPhone -- IIRC the glass screen in particular was a new feature not seen on any device before. Also they did a lot of legwork themselves e.g. the anodized aluminum device body that came from previous work on ipod / macbook).
> I'm more so curious on what your first counterpoints in your mind would be

Just some anec-data. I did not have any consoles growing up simply because we could not afford them. Eventually we got a single very old very slow machine that was shared among the family. I know a few other people in the same situation (usually 1st/2nd generation immigrants). Thus in my mind, video games are luxury products, which are not affordable to low income households.
I was factoring that and error coding in my ballpark estimate
My guess is that this is basically why she left.
I understand you feeling a bit sorry for the seller, but unless it was a very small entity (like a person on etsy), I wouldn't give it a second thought. I think it incentivises the seller to clean up their processes, to everyone's benefit. Also, buyers feeling comfortable about chargebacks and returns promotes more sales in the long run.
This is impressive, love the background with a gif!
It's an interesting thought, but that seems like a huge gamble just to provide an opening to make moves that may or may not pay off. I would think things would have to be pretty bleak for a risk like that to make sense.
I’d argue that any string comparison which does not take into account collation is inherently broken. Even in the pure ASCII English-language case, a naïve comparison on values won’t give desirable results since abc123 will come before abc99 even though a reader would expect otherwise. Just because we’ve tolerated crappy string sorting for sixty years doesn’t mean we should continue to do so.
This is the list of features (in Eclipse) that I'd like to use in Vim:

- Show in Breadcrumb to show the package name > class > function in the top of the editor

- Open Call Hierarchy to show all places where a class/variable is used.

- Show Type Hierarchy to show how a given class is derived from Object.

- Debug Shell for running snippets in the debugger.

I know that I can use grep or ag for some of them, but I rather prefer to see the hierarchy as shown in Eclipse.

When these branding discussions come up, I am reminded that "Debian" is "Deb" and "Ian", to say nothing of nonsense words "Nike", "Netflix", "Walmart"; branding is entirely about the amount of traffic and goodwill you drive into whatever word you pick.

As for the "lots of languages," I can't help you there
can we please come up with something easier to grasp than async and await?

goroutines in Go make perfect sense to me and async and await do not. the article linked here explains why, perfectly, accidentally.

note that I am not saying that goroutines are perfect.

one of the code snippets shows code which invokes an async method, then shows where you could do other things before awaiting the result. how is this any different than just moving the other things before invoking the async method and using a synchronous method instead?

if your async method and your "other stuff" both take time over the network and can happen at the same time, how is this any better than coroutines? at least in Go, launching a goroutines is a single keyword, not two, like async and await.

there is value in being able to turn async off when you want, but what am I to do if I only want to turn it off for individual methods, and not all of them? I'm right back to changing all of those single methods and their invocations, manually. Go only requires me to change the invocation.

I posit that async/await is flawed inherently, even if any given person likes it and is accustomed to its problems.

why are TWO keywords needed? requiring a keyword at invocation and at return value assignment just impedes experimentation later, and would require two method definitions if you want both a synchronous and asynchronous version, right?
FWIW, I was able to enter all the buildings I tried recently. Did not notice any restriction.
To be honest, I agreed with everything you said except it not being a strong argument.
Any sort that doesn’t take into account Unicode collation isn’t Unicode correct.

Seems pretty clear that we're on a path to machine intelligence, and that interstellar voyages will be undertaken by those intelligences, not meatbags. That humans like a class G sun is irrelevant to the prospering of those intelligences.

Why do you say "no one is willing to reinvest in it"?
They are investing right now in other sites, so, basically, what is happening is equivalent to "this wind central just profited that it needed a recycle to move in another site".

Again, this was the deal from the start: we will build a wind central there, even if it blocks the coal, because wind is more profitable, and when we have to recycle, maybe we will move, why not.
That's really a non-event.
Interesting, isn't it? When I was around 10 I had after school access to a lab full of Mac Classics, which had The Manhole installed, and it was about that age that my two best friends and I started working on our first "games" in HyperCard and screensavers in Perl. They were also both banned from having consoles at home, which was a reason we became friends... other kids would go home but we wanted to stay at school late because it was where we had access to Macs. All three of us ended up adjacent to the game industry at one point or another. I remember going to other kids' houses and being blown away by (and terrible at) NES games. Something like Mario 2 seemed impossible to imagine programming for me at the time. Something like The Manhole, though, or even "Glider" could reveal its hypertalk mechanics. So maybe that had more to do with where I went than trying to do text adventures in BASIC on an IBM PC at home.
A very good call, to be honest I had completely forgotten about that part of the code it's been so long I implemented that.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll fix it now
Sensational headline? It sounds indefinite, not permanent.
I'm a math professor. In the US, it is near-universal that academic buildings are open to all:

- If I'm visiting someone at a university, for example to collaborate or give a talk, I'm likely to be told "Meet me in Room X of Building Y".

- Seminars are generally open to whoever, and people visiting from out of town will often attend. For example one time when I was in the area, I went to a number theory seminar at MIT, and I didn't let anyone there know I was coming beforehand: I just showed up.

I guess this is a privilege not available to most in the corporate world, but as a longtime academic this feels very sad to me.
