Education funding should be based on equity, and not on debt. And it should be funded by the society as a whole and not by some private for-profit entities.

It is outrageous that we make young students debt-laden even before they have any income source. This is not only unethical, it also sets a wrong example for the younger generation.

The difference between ActivityPub and Mastodon was already explained by others.

If the popular solutions are too complex, maybe you want to take a look at https://microblog.pub, a relatively small and simple AP implementation designed for single-user instances.
Neither. There just isn't that big a fraction of the earth's surface that's inhabited. You should regard this similarly to someone firing a gun into the air.
Hm, I'm not on the side of those annoying activists, but I think your assertions have no ground.

Existence of "extremists" usually helps "moderates" make things change. Without the "extremists", the "moderates" ARE the "extremists" and will not be taken seriously. It reminds me of how without the Black Panther Party, some white moderates would have not accepted propositions from Martin Luther King.

I think that wind farms and renewables would not be there if there was no pressure from extremists that helped deciders realize that wind farms and renewables are not just a whim from few ecologists.

If I were in charge of go, I would add some compiler magic and allow

foo := bar() onError(err) {
return nul, errors.New(“bar failed”, err)
}

as (almost; difference would be the scope of ‘err’) shorthand for

foo, err := bar()
if err ≠ nil {
return nil, errors.New(“bar failed”, err)
}

I also would allow a short-hand version for single statement blocks:

foo := bar() onError(err) return nil, errors.New(“bar failed”, err)

That, IMO, keeps the spirit of (relative to, for example, JVM stack traces and try/catch) being in control of error reporting at the price of having to do more work getting decent partial stack trace-like information out of errors, but also removes a few pain points:

- it’s shorter (especially the single-line version)

- it limits the lifetime of ‘err’ to the ‘onError’ statement.

It also, IMO, reads easier than these proposals.

An implicitly declared ‘err’, as in

foo := bar() onError return nil, errors.New(“bar failed”, err)

would be even shorter, but IMO would be a bit too magical for go, even if we made it clear magic is happening by giving that variable a special name, as shell does with ‘$?’.

Make PRT work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_rapid_transit)

Inter-city Transit is currently not solved: trains suck, cars suck, metros suck.
If you combine them in the right way, you are left with the best of each of them: individual pods managed by an automated central planning system. Small enough to fit in sewers inside the city, elevated outside, dynamically forming trains zipping at 100-200kmh inside the city and going exactly where you want them. Because you don't need tbms, the cost of a whole network is probably on part with a metro system, while having similar capacity and being much faster.
Optionally you can have dual-mode pods that "downgrade" to normal cars using normal roads while your guideway network is not fully developed.
Everyone seems to have given up on PRT, but I don't see where is the catch. If you do, please tell me.

On my day-to-day I apply deep learning to trading to raise money to do an AI-research lab (been going really well so far). This PRT-thing is an idea I'm obsessed about but it doesn't fit anywhere in my trading+research plans (I call it a mistress project).
Anyway If you see the flaw in such a PRT idea please let me know, and I'll be able to discard it and be less distracted in my main AI research.
Most is a stretch. I would say it’s more like a vocal minority, largely consisting of GPL proponents.
I've fallen in love with fountain pens, and have acquired a few over the past two years. Last month I tried my hand at grinding my first (italic) nib, and it actually came out OK. My prized pens include a Parker 51 Mk2, a Sailor 1911 Large with music nib, an ASA Nauka in ebonite, and more.

Also passionate about stargazing, but dark skies and good weather are hard to come by where I live. An 8" airline portable scope is in the works.

Other vices include the usual - music of many kinds, books (of the paper kind), good food of all kinds, coffee, tea, beer, and well-made cocktails - especially martinis. Lastly, reading elegant code -- especially low-level code.
Putin signs law to mobilize Russian citizens convicted of serious crimes
"not publishing anything that go counter to key EU policies" is now the same as "Mainstream media do not support russia"?

I think that media very often call out bullshit takes of the government, EU or national. But being against russia just isn't a bullshit take. That said, Media do cover also when Ukraine does things wrong, but those things are just not as common. You can't report 50/50% when the situation is 99/1%.
It always baffled me that so many governments relied on a private solution that only has 5% of the world population as users (Twitter) as the preferred mode of communication with their citizens.

It's good to see a solution made by the government instead.

The next step is to make it mandatory for officials to use this platform (and Twitter or Facebook in addition if they want to, I don't care) for all their official communication.
It's not a "Ukraine conflict", it is a Russian invasion on a neighbouring sovereign country called Ukraine. It's as much a "Ukraine" conflict as certain events of 1939 were "Poland conflict".

How do you even support the attacker in this war and remain true to the facts is beyond me. So it's really difficult to understand what do you even mean.

That's not true for many people.

When working at Google, developers generally open-source their private projects (which are legally owned by Google) under a Google umbrella, with a Google copyright. This rarely stops developers. When I worked there, my incentive was to make my work more useful and give something back. I'm pretty sure many other Googlers feel the same way.

If Github found another way of making my work more useful to others, all the better. I would prefer if Copilot wasn't the only option, and if there was a good open-source alternative, but that's completely independent of the fact that my code was used to teach a neural network how to complete code snippets.
Nope. When I did windows RT development back when the surface RT first came out I wanted to use SQS with a windows store app I was building.

Using the documentation from AWS website I implemented a mini SQS Library.

This was with 6 months AWS exp at the time.

So I don’t think it’s complicated especially compared to Azure or GC where the documentation is inferior.
Yep. I say that because I was very recently looking into the network latency for computers on the other side of the world. I ran the same theoretical calculation of circumference of the earth divided by the speed of light and measured ping times and they lined up quite well. Now, to be clear, OP definitely has one up on me because I didn't notice the 1337, but it stuck in my head that to one significant digit it's ~100 milliseconds to get around the world. Now four significant digits stick in my head. Thanks OP!
Roughly yes, though you'll want one that supports the same activity types (Mastodon mostly uses "Note") or it won't make much sense :)

This could actually help explain why Musk suddenly decided to go forward with the Twitter deal.

Losing all these advertising commitments are real damages Twitter could point to in court and make Musk pay on top of the $1B break up fee even if the court decided not to force the sale.
The solution to this is exception wrapping, and designing useful exception types in the first place. This is not an issue.
This. The damage is irreparable. When boomers start leaving this earth, fb will start going with them. I think their business model will change to something like acquire the hottest startups and exploiting them until they sucked them dry. At least Mark has WhatsApp and IG yet.

LinkedIn on the other hand is just pride in a bottle. I doubt they'll change their strategy. If they try to appeal to other markets, they'll die just because their core premise is cv placement. That's it. Anything else won't work.
You're getting downvoted for the example, but this:

> Often times enemies agree on complete lies because it benefits them both.

is absolutely true.

At the risk of giving another controversial example: When one guy says "you're all a bunch of nazis!", and the self-identified nazi also says, with stars in their eyes, "yes! We are all nazis!" then it may perfectly well be that the persons so called are not all a bunch of nazis.

It's common for people on both sides of an issue to divide the world sharply into enemies and allies.
> Show me a mainstream media based in the EU actively supporting Russia in the Ukraine conflict then.

It's "Russian invasion of Ukraine", not "Ukraine conflict", first.

What point do you want to make with this though? I don't need to find a contrarian to every point to prove anything, that's also just being a contrarian and usually mainstream media avoids being a contrarian. If you live in Fox News-world that might seem alien but MSM is not in the job of being a contrarian.

Burdening me to prove my point by forcing me into an impossible situation won't change much, I could also tell you that support for Ukraine is so unanimous that no MSM in the EU holds the contrarian position you want them to. That's not wrong or the EU silencing it, it's simply a position that almost no business in the EU would dare to hold because they'd suffer a massive hit from public opinion, most EU citizens do not support Russia (as it should be), why should a MSM vehicle take the contrarian point of view?

Show me proof for your statements, please, I can't prove you a negative, I believe you should be quite well aware of that.

For the past decade I've worked for a company whose headquarters is 500 miles away. I have 3-6 video meetings a day with engineers at the headquarters (as well as all over the world).

Until the pandemic, I visited headquarters every few months to catch up with the teams. I found that in informal chats (in the halls, walking into someone's office, having lunch) I discovered so much that never came up during video calls. It's similar to, but worse than, formal in-person meetings with agendas; there's an activation energy people need to overcome to bring up something that may seem small but is actually critical to the project.

Someone in a video meetings with their camera off is even worse; you have almost no emotional connection with them, and it's natural for them to only "speak if spoken to".
I'd like that as well. Possibly scaling (=funding) issues?

There are a fair number of phd’s employed in biotech/pharma. Who do you think makes the stuff? Bs/ms are their techs. The ads in the states publishes salary history every year for those who care. It’s not SV salary but it’s way more useful than selling ads and scarfing data - you can actually end up curing a cancer or other diseases…

And before you go about just curing symptoms, remember that many real cures would require gene modification and people aren’t all that interested in being a gmo. Ask RA sufferers about drugs like Humera re curing symptoms.
To the people posting about having good chemistry sets as a kid: what were these sets and where did you/your parents get them? Where are the good sources today?

Everything I remember growing up in the 90s was pretty dumbed down at best, and if you wanted to order any of the interesting chemicals or equipment, you needed a company or school letterhead with a PO account. Things got better in the 00s when eBay was still pretty open in terms of what you could find, but that seems to have been clamped down on more recently. Fear of litigation most likely.

Thanks. 153 files. An order of magnitude leaner than the ones I have seen so far.
I think all politicians should be banned from Twitter and replacements. Ultimately, it is just self-promotion and lying.

For international relations, a counterargument might be made: Perhaps the preposterous "little rocket man" exchange between Trump and Kim Jong-un that resulted in a meeting actually brought the countries together.

But domestically I think the influence is harmful.

Thanks. Will look into it. If it can do two levels, why not three or more? Sounds as if there’s just a variable that needs to be changed from 2 to n. Or is there, I’m wondering, anything fundamentally different between n and 2?
I recently visited Disney World for the first time and fell in love with it. My partner however was disappointed, she also loves Disney World and has visited many times in the past, but on our recent trip she felt like the prices have increased and the quality of the experience diminished.

Because of this I decided to start tracking the prices of Disney World hotels, tickets and flights. I wanted to see how the prices rise with inflation and how they differ at different times of the year.

So I built a website which scrapes prices from the Disney websites (and Google Flights): https://mousetrack.co.uk.

There is already a lot of functionality there, including a Google Flights-like search as well as min/max prices of each hotel plus graphs showing how prices change. Both have helped me find some interesting deals and hacks to get low hotel prices, for example it's possible to save many thousands by creating separate hotel bookings (the disadvantage is that you will need to move rooms, but for some that might be a perk, though I don't know yet how Disney will take this).
If you limit it only to government officials/orgs, moderation isn’t an issue. Plenty of good, trustworthy mastodon instances exist.
This is great, it shows one of the strengths of the Fediverse. Official bodies can participate in social media without being dependent on a foreign, for-profit company. And you can read updates with a lot of different applications, be it Mastodon, Pleroma or the RSS reader of your choice.
Those are big and bold statements, I think you'd need to properly lay out these claims instead of writing hot takes. It'd do much more for a healthy and engaging conversation than empty platitudes based on your ideology :)

How? No matter what I try, the insertion point is always before the bold element, and not inside it.
First, dont ask for parenting advice. You'll got a ton of varied answers- all specific to those peoples point of view and experience. Not wrong, just varied. The basics- love your child, feed them, shelter them. The rest is up to you to decide. After the 3 basics, parenting is a matter of style. And for gawd sakes, dont buy any parenting books- especially ones on sleep. Good luck on your journey.
People now use the term 'roguelike' to mean more than turn-based, grid-based, permadeath, procedural games.

Usually any game that has procedural elements & permadeath now becomes labelled "roguelike" or "roguelite" by the community, depending.

I'm still a snob about it, to me roguelikes are nethack, ADOM, even newer games like Cogmind and Caves of Qud are roguelikes, but to me, FTL is not.
The fediverse is (generally) an open federation, not a closed one like you're describing. There is no manually-curated list of instances that you federate with.

We can indeed run newer macOS on older macs with the Opencore Legacy Patcher - https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ . But the bugs aren't the only concern. There's also the revised terms of services and privacy policies that we have to consider with each new macOS, as Apple plans to become a service company at our expense. It is also clear that Apple has been taking away developer options, and rearchitecting macOS to be more and more like ios / iPadOS to have greater control of over what developers can do on the system. (There's now even talks of Apple working on a hybrid macOS and iPadOS merge so that they have one common OS for both platform).
There is no excuse for the most profitable company in the world to drop support for working hardware. It's entirely within their capability to support even PowerPC macs. And that's besides fact that Apple has an incredibly small portfolio of hardware to support; so much so that they could trivially exhaustively test every update on every possible piece of hardware.
Additional to my other complaint: see here for a mainstream medium in germany (imho it should not be as popular as it is) reporting on "Ukraine reportedly attacking Kachovka dam": https://www.bild.de/news/2022/news/russland-krieg-gegen-ukra... . But since you did not define EU policy or "supporting Russia" I'm not sure if that covers your wants. Btw It took 2 minutes to find that article, there are surely more.
Strangely, half of the discussion concentrates on the arguments for and against the alleged (in)security of the PayPal solution in general cases while obviously the solution quality can be decided in a specific context.
At the same time nearly nobody addressed the real source of PayPal's stupidity: the fact the "feature" can't be permanently disabled.

If I may say so you don't have to justify fuck all.

If someone else doesn't understand the boundaries between work and personal life, and tops it off with trying to guilt trip you, then that is on them and whatever corporate/VC kool-aid they are drinking.

You can only wish that this is something they will come to realize (hopefully not too late in their life to avoid unnecessary regret).
Reports suggest that they require only 3 launches in this configuration LM5B where the core stage falls back, for the construction of their station. They might have made the assumption that chances of damage due to debris is very low considering that only 3 launches are to happen with this configuration.

In case even if there is damage on the ground, there are treaties that govern the liabilities in case.

It would be interesting to know why they technically
chose this particular way of doing it, but the discussion seems too hyperbolic for that.
Of course there are. And there are also unofficial SDKs for many other languages.

But if you’re building a feature to interact with AWS then ignoring the availability of SDKs is stupid. If you want to write your service in brainfuck then go for it, but don’t blame AWS for that decision.

> Only media approved by the Democrat Party is free of hate speech and white nationalism

> They are not capitalist.

> They are sociologists / journalists / non-technical economists earning 50k (barely percentile 60), and telling us daily how action X is immoral (exactly what bishops and priests used to do).

It never broke even anywhere. It's the most subsidy addicted form of power.

>Unfortunately, renewables cause similar issues. If solar tanks wholesale prices for 8 hours a day nuclear needs to make that up on the other 16.

Wind can make a lot of that up. Solar and wind anti-correlate. Those dark, cold winters also tend to be the windiest and vice versa.

Apparently we'd need 5 hours of storage to get to a 97% carbon free grid under current usage patterns: https://reneweconomy.com.au/a-near-100-per-cent-renewables-g...

Australia is already on track to have half of that already with snowy 2 (350Gwh).

This also doesn't take into account stuff like https://octopus.energy/agile/ that can use pricing to adjust demand to supply. Heating, car battery charging, industrial processes like aluminum smelting - lots of demand can be time shifted easily.
