You’re in luck, the Asus FI32-U and M32U are 4k 144hz monitors with USBC PD and a built-in KVM. I can use several peripherals (keyboard, mouse, audio interface, webcam, and stream deck) and press a button to switch the display input (and those peripherals) between my MacBook (connected with a usb c cable) and my PC (connected with usb type A and DisplayPort)

It’s a dream honestly!
Try getting a fulltime job if you can. You don't need to join college for CS education imo. There is not much benefit of a college degree unless it's from a elite/great college. The best resources to learn CS are online ex. https://teachyourselfcs.com/ is a good resource to self learn. Imo unless you want to go into academia you don't really need a degree atleast for software/security jobs. As far as socializing and learning soft skills is concerned, it can very easily be done in a job as well, you don't need to go to a university for it. Even better get a remote job or go backpacking around the world and you can fast track all those 4 years of socializing skills in a few months as well.

This list is in itself offensive. Multiple entries try to force words into negative territory. This includes words previously used to be inclusive and presumably words from this list of "alternatives" will be in a future list.

People, all people, need to stop being offended on "my behalf." Especially people with a job that entitles them to work on something full of self-realizable hypocrisies like: "Additionally, one can never know what may or may not trigger a particular person."

For those curious: I have worked all my life to see my "off-center brain chemistry" in a positive light. I do not under any circumstances want some person telling me OCD is offensive.

At first it's not the euphemism, but the intent behind it. Over a long enough time period, if people are called the euphemism enough with said intent, the word itself has lost its original meaning and associations.

This is sometimes used maliciously though - like how a contraction about being against facism somehow got a bad connotation (antifa), or how being aware of social injustices is bandied about by right-wing outlets (woke).
So they have no duty towards the general public either, until the public’s too irritated with them, and calls for overview. How’s that better, or any different at all?
According to that recipe, the rolled oats are boiled, not steamed. I'm also curious why frying in butter is referred to here as "toasting", which I think of as applying heat across an air gap to a dry ingredient.

I often eat a 50/50 mix of cracked wheat (raw bulgur) and steel cut oats, which I simply bring to a boil and cook until all the water is absorbed.

I'm curious how adding butter at the beginning ends up with any different flavor than just adding a pat of butter to the finished cereal (which then melts), or adding a tablespoon of cream.

I have to admit, watching it in 48fps (pretty sure it was 48 and not 60) the CGI sequences did look very much like video game cutscenes.
I'm a little surprised the encode performance is ~10fps on x264. I don't know that much about the apple CPUs but I do remember a lot of news about how fast they were for media related tasks.

Amazon to make big business changes in EU settlement – AP News
I had a similar problem to you. While it was easy for me to complete assignments on Udemy or similar, I didn't develop a deep understanding of anything I am doing. What finally helped was doing the free Java course from the University of Helsinki (mooc.fi/en). What set it apart from the other courses is, that for each topic they are introducing, they have multiple, involved coding assignments and provide good automated feedback when your submitted solution doesn't work.

Of course, the beginning was still difficult. But the assignments were all solveable and didn't take too much time (on average), so I had a positive feedback loop that kept me engaged. Ultimately, just by the sheer amount of assignments and them having appropriate difficulty levels, I managed to develop a good intuition about why some things work and other don't. And later on, they also include slightly bigger projects so you can put stuff into perspective.

I do feel the problem with most online courses, that they often have very simple exercises (that can be easily copy-pasted) and overly long explanations. But the real way to learn programming is by doing it, not reading about it. Once you gained the underlying understanding, the theoretical concepts also become much easier to grasp.

This is one of those articles that could benefit immensely with a single picture or quick video/gif, but provides neither.

> The other thing I need to do is subpixel-correct lines, because they're so much more nicer in motion than non-subpixel-correct lines. Don't confuse this with AA lines - you can have chunky non-AA single-colour pixel lines that are ALSO subpixel-correct.

> Why this is important is hard to convey in a static picture, but in motion the quality difference is very obvious. And it turns out the speed difference is not actually significant, so why not go for the extra quality?

This claim is made almost immediately in the article, but then provides no poof in picture OR video!

The breakdown of the algorithm and general writing is great though.

I feel the same way. How do the SETI people explain this away and justify their search? One light year is tiny, I think it would take an incredibly generous Drake equation estimate to make that contain intelligent life. Same for 100 light years too. But I lean towards pessimistic Drake equation values. Life is even more rare and precious the more I dig into the equation.

> The true stellar density near the Sun is estimated as 0.004 stars per cubic light year, or 0.14 stars pc−3.

> There are around 60,000 stars within 100 light-years, and the same again with 100-200 light-years, and then the numbers fall quickly. By the time we're 1,000 light-years out, there are fewer than 8,000 stars and, at 1,300 light-years, fewer than 5,000 stars.
Disposable income per capita is high relative to Europe. Prices are relatively low (at a cost, food is one of the highest inflation categories, meat highest within that...I still don't understand how chicken is so cheap, animal welfare is generally high...but it just shouldn't be this cheap...same thing with vegetables, retail is so consolidated that farmers have been getting short-changed for decades). Generally, it is good to be a consumer.

The issues that the UK are similar to a lot of developed countries just worse, and made worse by unusually bad govt interventions over decades. The frustrating thing about the UK is that a lot of the hard stuff is done well but it is just thrown away by nonsense policy in other areas (i.e. we have a great tertiary education system, and absolutely horrible primary/secondary so relatively few Brits can actually get value of more education...it is just nonsensical)

If planning/housing was solved conclusively, it would resolve 75% of the issues impacting consumers.

>I would go for a secondhand old laptop

But only if you don't live in Europe, as old laptops tend to be quite energy inefficient by modern standards, and at the current energy prices, you'll see the difference on the yearly bills, between an old laptop and a new one running 24/7 in your house.

You can get chines barebones with modern quad core 11th gen Intel Celeron chips that sip power for about 150 Euros. The best part is that some are even flanless so they're dead silent and there's no more worrying about cleaning the dust from the fan every few months. Just chuck it somewhere out of sight and you never have to thin about it physically.

On the one hand, it's dumb to let bots vote in your policy polls, so trying to filter them out makes perfect sense. On the other hand, it also seems dumb to not let potential customers vote - these are the people you're trying to get $8 from, shouldn't you want to know what they want? On the third hand, making policy decisions based on Twitter polls is dumb from the get-go.

I don't understand his obsession with Twitter to the point that he's destroying his reputation and bringing his other companies down as part of the crazy train ride. He could have just streamlined Twitter a bit, opened up their content policies a lot more in line with "free speech" and then left it to a CEO that would share his vision, then let what happen happen. Instead he looks like just another narcissistic, almost cultish, CEO like that WeWork guy.
All those systems were built and designed during a time where free money via cheap credit was available to fund growth at all costs to become the dominant market player. That money is fading with the Fed rate increases and is looking like it may stay that way for a long time. What this means for tech is more paid everything. Expect most of the free services to disappear. Twitter, Elon or not was going to have to make major cuts to stay afloat.
> It's not only taking social justice too far, I'd say it's a betrayal of the ideal of a just, inclusive and safe society.

This has been quite obvious for at least a decade now; that's when the term "social justice" started to gain pejorative associations, and it did so for a reason.
tl;dr. Amazon has agreed to make major changes to its business practices in order to settle antitrust investigations by the European Union (EU). The investigations found that the company had given itself an unfair advantage over rival merchants. As part of the settlement, Amazon will make changes that allow customers more choice when buying products, and will offer more delivery options for Prime members. The EU’s executive Commission accepted the legally binding commitments from Amazon to end the investigations. Amazon will have to make the changes by June, and the agreement will apply to its business practices in Europe for seven years.
The difference is in the expected response when you use the "wrong" term. If I started talking about a blacklist someone could ask "Maybe we could use the term 'blocklist' in the documentation because its clearer to someone not as familiar with the technical terms?". They could also respond with "Why are you using such a loaded and out of date term? It is suspicious and sets a dangerous precedent, and doesn't belong in a place of work. You are getting a verbal warning."
Seems made up to me. Roughly corresponds to the 'narrow waist' concept or standardization in general. It isn't always good, when bad it could be a 'bottleneck' or impediment diverse innovation, etc.

It kind of reminds me of the EU USB Type-C power requirement. It could have been set to expire in say 3-5 years. Then it has to stand on it's own merits. If everything was USB-C, would people be happy about a new Apple proprietary connector that isn't substantially better?
It's really stupid policy long-term to abuse health-related data (especially public-health-related data) because it makes it far less likely the data will be volunteered in the next pandemic, and that will hurt public safety a lot more than the transient issues it's used to pursue.

To everyone portraying this as harmless and as Wechat just looking for security breaches: Tencent itself is the security breach. Not only can Chinese ppl not sign up without providing a phone number, just to get a SIM card they now take your government ID, a picture of your face and a fingerprint! Xi is making absolutely sure that every single internet user is IDed and has their conversations tracked on apps like Wechat. Whatsapp, Signal & co are banned.

These "leaked" secrets GitHub forwards might be dissidents getting access without being tracked. It might not be a WeChat secret at all who knows? They're not a trustworthy partner, nothing should be shared with this company.

And to the folks saying it's public information and they already have it: That makes no sense, then they don't need GitHubs help. Obviously GitHub is supporting their scanning efforts here.
Thoughts and random advice mixed together:

- Before you go to university/college and semi-regularly afterwards do a security/doxx/skip trace/etc. on yourself and your accounts. Even if you later do more impressive work, presenting your earliest work is going to be the only way to prove that you were working pre-18/pre college degree, and you are going to need that proof. The main thing is to make sure that there's nothing connecting to those accounts/handles/usernames that might make you unemployable or people not wanting to work with you. It's a good practice to get into because when you're 28 and handing over proofs of what you did when you were 14, you don't want to lose job offers because 14 year old you named your variables 'buttface' or said something that was acceptable in 2019 that isn't in 2035 or something.

- Consider what you want. Do you want to maximize for money? For free time? For autonomy/freedom? What types of tasks do you enjoy doing?

- Consider majoring/minoring in something completely unrelated to CS. One major benefit those of us with significant programming/tech experience pre college have is that we already have a trade/profession going into college. (I started when I was ~5-6). Keep up with your tech work, but doing coursework in areas like communications or business management or picking a rare domain to acquire knowledge in to combine with your tech skills is going to be very advantageous particularly in the middle or later parts of your career.

- Don't worry a bunch about low-balling yourself. It's really weird to try to get an idea of where you fit in the market if you're an outlier and talented young people get really mixed messages sometimes. I think the main question to ask yourself is do you want to go into smart contract or browser security work? You clearly could.

> the wealthiest Americans are the least likely to store their wealth in their homes.

The bar chart is listing percentages of wealth in each asset. Wealthy invest a lower % of their wealth into toilet paper. So in the bar chart it would look like the wealthy don't wipe themselves at all.
To my understanding, not a single pharaoh was found in a pyramid. Most were found in the Valley of the Kings.

It's also worth noting that there are no hieroglyphs inside the Great Pyramids (which are supposedly said to be tombs), when the Valley of the Kings (an actual tomb) was caked in them.

Also, the only written text depicting the construction of the Great Pyramids, that I could find, is (again, supposedly) the Famine Stele. I find it highly questionable that there is only one text that tells us of the most notable construction of ancient Egypt's entire existence, and one of the most notable buildings to date. And not a single hieroglyph amongst the Pyramids' vicinity says anything about it either.

>We should be able to look at how we are using language and identify that it is problematic without requiring a list of words.

Yup! I think that humans are so heterogeneous that basically everything requires a context to derive the full meaning of a thing. The same language, wielded in two different occasions, can have vastly different meanings.

As a linguistics professor once mentioned:

"Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like an apple, although if the play is bad enough, even fruit flies like an arrow."
> they bring over their extended family (5-10 people)

How? Being a student only entitles you at most to bring over a partner and dependent children. https://www.internationalstudents.cam.ac.uk/dependant-visas

They are also required to be financially self sufficient : "As part of the visa application dependants must have sufficient funds to cover living costs in the UK. This is £680 for each month the visa will be valid, up to a maximum of 9 months. This is a total of £6,120 per dependant if the visa will be granted for 9 months or more"

> basically no way to deport them now even once the student visa ends

Bearing in mind the hostile environment - if your visa has expired you can no longer work, rent or have a bank account - and the fact that the government can and does deport people; I think this isn't true.

That very page you linked says "However, the estimates of emigration by
former student immigrants are experimental, and the ONS advises against
using them to calculate net migration of international students"

Because the UK does not do passport checks on exit, unlike Schengen, it's impossible to properly count people who've emigrated again.

I hadn't totally realized you're cooking food in it, removing the food, then re-using the broth! i guess you must have to strain it periodically. That is admittedly a really odd practice to me! It seems like it's origin might be at least in part just to not waste the stock? But people really believe it is important for flavor? (I am not suggesting it's not, how would I know?)
How are you defining toxic? I think antisemites and white supremacists qualify more often than not and yet their access to the platform was restored. Certainly we can't argue it was for the sake of free speech absolutism since that clearly isn't a value the new Twitter actually believes in. I know everyone wants to give the benefit of the doubt but I fail to see the "4D chess" strategy here if his goal really is to remove toxic users.

>>The big difference is that Elon Musk is a powerful figure who has far reaching impact on our society, whereas Hunter Biden is a nobody that the right is trying to turn into a somebody for political gain.

I wouldn't describe "Son of the President" or "Son of Potential President" as a complete nobody.

>> There's plenty of reason to believe that the whole Hunter Biden story is a complete fabrication, but even if it's not, and he goes to prison, it still doesn't mean much to society as a whole.

Currently there's no reason to believe that the whole Hunter Biden story is a complete fabrication. It's been verified by independent journalists. There are also emails that (at least on the face of it) could be interpreted as sending money his father. It would be good if those had been investigated and people either convicted or cleared.

> Even if TPMs came with no endorsement key certificates, the platform could still trust-on-first-use the TPMs and create "privileged keys". The only way to prevent that would be to make TPMs useless

I assume by "platform" you mean a remote party exerting control, bordering on non-consensual, over your local computer? If the hardware is not shipped with keys, the way to get around that would be to generate your own key external to the TPM, and load it into the TPM. Then the "platform" could trust that first-contact key all day long, but you would retain control.

> I don't see how to do [mock attestation] without the party demanding attestation somehow establishing trust in your device

That's the point of my requirement for the SE/TPM to spit out the attestation signing key when in reset mode. It grants the owner the ability to create mock attestations of the device as the previous owner knew it. Going forward, the owner can walk away and have the device create attestations that they can trust, with the condition that they aren't out of contact with the device for longer than the reset period. (The reset period requirement is what creates the distinction between a mere possessor, and the bona fide owner)

> There's also a tension in that attestation is very useful for enterprise security. I.e., servers and VMs in data centers and the cloud, as well as employer-provided personal devices

Yes, these are exactly the useful scenarios I envisioned when I wrote my comment, and would be fully supported with the requirements I laid out. What is not supported is claiming to sell someone a piece of hardware, while retaining indefinite control over it.
