So the funny thing, looking say these from EU, Polish perspective, they are supremely easy and when applied here would have low statistical discriminatory power.
Our tests are new and statistically validated. That still does not mean they are good.

Even our more advanced tests have issues there, so you get university admission packed with people in the top percentile, with single digit sometimes deciding whether you're in or out.

It helps that pupils have a choice of their test for wherever they want to apply, so they generally pick what they're best at.

Basics (language and maths) regularly get >80% except for special cases. Extended similarly.
Special cases tend to completely flunk it, that usually being less than 15%. Latest COVID bumped it up somewhat.

The problem is not really the testing, it's what the tests are testing for. The maths basics test some rote memorization of basic trigonometry and application thereof, including linear equations.
Language test reading comprehension and whether you read a book in the syllabus, plus can write mostly coherently and logically, plus some analytical techincalities.
The reading comprehension on basic is literally on the level of newspaper column. Extended does not test an unfamiliar technical text either.

Physics and chemistry likewise test mostly rote pattern application.
History, geography, even more so.

And the problem is that university requires more than that. You start getting more open ended maths tasks, unfamiliar language in unfamiliar subjects in books...
None of them tests basics of being able to learn, as that is not taught.

(As to test results, there's a clear gradation between academic middle school, technical middle school and finally faulty system of job middle schools. It's mostly about filtering and focus of the pupils there. They tend to get worse grades too. Usually people get failed on maths.)

The reason I said it is that it's a problem for me. Notifications on/off makes a night and day difference. Did you link ntfy because that's what Telegram FOSS uses?
It's the quarter and year end, remove "Tesla shares tank" from the headline and it'd be true for all car manufacturers. Add "Tesla" and BOOM, instant viral article.
A generally unfounded one as Tesla has always done discounts/pushes of various sorts at the end of quarters and especially at the end of the year.
Sorry, portable was a poor word here. Since I'm using Linux, being built in makes it easy for me to use. But if samba shipped as a small static executable that would be even easier.
The sandbox doesn't protect against corruption inside of linear memory, nor exploits that take advantage of it to try out to influence code execution paths, triggering calls that shouldn't have happened in first place.

Great the exploit cannot pown the host, it can nevertheless trigger damaging behaviours.
If I only had a phone, I would definitely want live sync, so I had a chance of recovery if my phone was gone. Keepass isn't even something I'd consider.

I'm not sure what you're referring to that should be taught in schools. The problem of forgetting things is often "human error" not "pilot error", a random packet loss of the mind rather than lack of skill.

There's strategies to mitigate it, like always leaving the house with the same set of items and never changing it up, and avoiding situations where you rely on memory, but live sync is going to prevent a lot of mistakes.
> So then you'd at least have to enter your password once on (browser) startup so it can load the list and keep that in memory, and you won't be able to automatically sync things either.

Correct. However this is how it ought to be. If someone acquires my laptop, I dont want logging into my accounts to be as easy as opening the browser

I found a buffer overflow in the OpenSolaris code a few hours ago that originated in a commit made in 2007. It predates that Linux bug by at least a year.

It is amazing how many old bugs have survived to the present day. :/
Advertisers aren’t charities though, their objective is to show ads to people who have the means to buy stuff - poor people seeing their ads (and having their content subsidised) isn’t something they want and they’d be more than happy to stop it should there become a reliable way of tracking and detecting poor people.
I think Tesla gifting the pickup truck market to Rivian and Ford w/ their Lightning is one of the biggest own goals in a long time.

And I think Tesla should worry less about Lucid, etc than Volkswagon working out the kinks in their id.4 (what a terrible name that is), and Toyota's revamped Prius, which looks like a very appealing bridge car that can still use gas on road trips.
Right. We're going from having support bots that give nonsensical or "please reformulate your question" answers to support bots that just make up plausible, but completely wrong answers.
And 'inverse checkboxes': checkbox isn't checked (good), but text reads 'check the box if you don't want to receive our newsletter'.

Beyond that it is mathematically evident that superstring theory is the biggest setback in the history of physics since the beginning of time.
Never before has physics been stagnant for so long without making an important discovery (more than 70 years since the quantum theory of the particle wave).

Imagine, materials theory is the only branch of physics that hasn't been bogged down by money.

And this happens because if you write "superstrings" or "twistores" in the name of your scientific article, it is guaranteed that a university will subend your doctoral thesis. It is a complex system of corruption and scientific falsehood.

No not really. Tesla massively leads in EV deliveries still. None of the other EV manufacturers have really reached high volume manufacturing yet.
> I know back in the 90s, when we were going from 8088s to 486s to pentiums

80286 to 80386 to 80486 to Pentium. 8088 to 80286 was in the 1980s.

The 80386 introduced in the 1980s, IIRC, but became more common in the 1990s.

(And don't forget the 80386SX -- a 386 with the 286's 16-bit interface! :-)
Haha cool one. Though seems they act like it's obvious that the package name would expand to a regex.
There is nothing socialist about china. Its a cooperation state in its purest form.
It would be actually weird if it was not so common.

It might, still haven't seen it being used.
Agreed about the UX quirks. They're fairly small though and could probably be easily fixed.

I think data collection should be an option.
Linux's bugs are just in a different place. Macos's bugs are all deep technical problems that Apple doesn't have enough senior engineers to bother fixing. (Eg the FS watch APIs). Or weird bloaty preinstalled processes that eat up all your CPU when nothing is happening on your computer. Or... anything that the light of XCode touches.

Linux's bugs are things like the fact that every program has a slightly different set of keyboard shortcuts. Is copy Ctrl+C? Or Shift+Ctrl+C? Can I make it Meta+C (like on macos)? Not everywhere! Only some linux applications let you treat the meta- key as a modifier. (Eg intellij doesn't let you do that.)

Smooth scrolling (if you have hardware to support it) works in all native GTK applications. But not Firefox or IntelliJ. Normal mouse scrolling works everywhere, but scroll distance is wildly inconsistent between applications.

On macos I have homebrew. On linux I have apt. And snaps. And flatpak. But I think we're at war with snaps? I'm lost.

My bluetooth keyboard and mouse are both broken on linux. I'm not sure if the problem is my bluetooth chipset driver, or if the devices both have terrible implementations of bluetooth and they didn't bother testing on linux. Either way, I bet they both work fine on macos.

> Linux has its own issues but it overall is at a completely different quality level from macOS.

Its different alright. But its certainly not uniformly better.
I think self-pwning by running executables downloaded from torrents/shady websites might be a common way people get hacked. A while back I was talking to a bunch of software developers and even they were not convinced that you can get hacked by running games from torrents. What's worse is people also run that stuff as administrator, and then ask their anti-virus to ignore it.

They lag because some Porter and Duff layer composition modes require textures at the size of the parent bounding box enclosing all objects. Bigger the texture, the more resource demanding the composition becomes.
Android uses the Linux kernel, which is anyway invisible to app developers, that is about it.

My Sony blue ray player and LG smarttv also run the Linux kernel, so what, doesn't change anything for the movies I watch on them, and I doubt they have contributed anything to upstream

A phyrric victory.
Do they? Plenty of places still put IT down as a "cost center" first and foremost, using that as a basis tobproactively run their staff barely above the level required for maintenance alone.

Conversely, they also tend to believe their value calculations are better than those of dev teams, going as far as to ignore proposals. You think MBAs are able to consistently guess better than someone actively doing the work?
> At some point the buck stops.

I want to think that but I'm old enough to observe that often it doesn't. If someone has connections or some other unfair advantage, they can go through life succeeding higher and higher without any competence.
The only reason most people have a job is to make money. If this guy has a shitty mindset, then what of all the developers working in FAANG? What about most people that work for any large organization? Aren’t they all just cogs working for somebody else with the same type of mindset? At the very least the author is forthcoming and honest about his intentions. Perhaps there is nothing more “on the inside” than what has been presented. I’d rather take that instead of the usual spin about wanting to change the world.

> Losing your job is not nearly the same as losing millions of dollars. You can just get another job. Those millions will be very hard to replace. Even if you get a 6 figure job, how are you going to get those millions back?

"You can just get another job" not that easy for quite a lot of people. Some people lose their job and that leads to losing their homes. If I had to choose, I'd prefer to lose millions of dollars than to lose my house in a vulnerable situation.

> robinhood.com says hello!

Yeah, and the casino exists too, and I bet the casino is safer. What I said is that with less money you don't have the same investment opportunities with the same risk/benefit ratios. Yeah, you can invest in stock and not do any of the crazy options stuff, but that's not really going to give you a lot of profit.

> Right. But that's their problem, not the company's problem.

Never said it's the problem of the company, just that the same amount of dollars has different value to different people. That's one of the mechanisms that makes it easier for people with more money to get even more money for no reason other than having more money: the more you have, the less it matters to lose a certain fixed amount. A $20k investment does not actually have the same risk for someone that has $30k in their account than for someone that has $10M.

People with an unfulfilled requirement could announce their willingness to pay for a service. The incentive could be that those early adopters receive shares in the resulting company.

Some people may just take the ideas. Early adopters can punish them by only doing business with companies that handed out shares to early adopters.

The request for a company-recommended password manager came from every department except IT, I think because the companys IT deal with are generally better at supporting multiple accounts.
It's a shame that people still consider that demo to represent the future of shopping. Nothing could be further from the truth. The VR shopping experience was actually a joke and the real output from the work was an interactive store design tool that helped save the company money by avoiding having to take aisles and whole zones out of commission during testing! The trouble was that, back in the '90s, if you had a good news story about VR and couldn't give them headset pictures or videos, they didn't want to know

FigJam can run outside of the browser.

It always surprises me how FigJam is never mentioned in discussions around this topic, even though it’s sibling product (Figma) is so popular!
I'm all for this, but just to give you an example:

I know someone who read a web forum. People wanted an ad free paid version for years, so he eventually added it at a cost of $15 per year. Most users balked at the price. 'Why did you add this if it was so expensive'?

Well it turns out he actually earned more revenue from advertising to frequent users. He was actually losing money on each person who paid, and it was still too expensive!

My point being: I think we might underestimate how much our attention is worth. Most people are not willing to pay as much to avoid an ad as an advertise would pay for you to view it.

I feel a little more comfortable relying on oAuth because I have my 2FA secrets backed up. This story does make me reconsider and want to revisit how I manage certain services. I don't know if there's a reasonable self hosted alternative to all the google services I use. I even have a Google Voice account I've had for over 12 years now, I feel like that'd help if I ever do get locked out. I try my best to practice good account security hygiene. I already have multiple backup accounts, for email but also in terms of recovery emails for third party accounts too. But I appreciate your story.
I think there's a tautology hiding here. It's unstated, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

The tautology is that what people exchange for has value, but it has value because people pay for it. Specifically that it has the value people are paying or more.

This is a sort of free market idea: why would someone swap for something that isn't good for them? People must be swapping for stuff they want. To a degree this is totally reasonable. Why does a guy buy a razor if he doesn't think shaving is worth it?

The problem with this kind of thinking is it can never check itself. There's no independent way to give an item a value, so how do you know the exchanged values are correct? There's an assumption implicit that the market gives everything the right value, but it's not checkable without some other way to come up with a value.

And there are reasons to think this value might be wrong. For instance externalities, but also plain old "consumer misjudged the value".

I met a guy who exploited every trick in the book when building his business. He always picked addictive stuff. Online casinos, vapes. He would also put in fine print that people were buying a minimum subscription, so they would they surprised when they got billed a second time. On top of that he found a way to trick Facebook into showing his advertisements that were against the ToS. I doubt anyone got what they thought from this fellow, but he's rich now.

This isn't to say everyone who sets out to just make money makes a mess, far from it. I'm sure there are people whose get rich quick scheme is genuinely useful to other people. But it does mean we need to keep eye on behaviour to make sure there aren't abuses.
I recently went all out and bought a SM7B as my daily calls have doubled to ~80% of the day. It’s been a complete game changer. I live next to a train line, have children and pets and it isolates so well.

I guess would you:

2. Track if the user is zooming in and out and based on the zoom factor scale all the windows contents based on that?
It's open source as well (and I believe it predates Hyperpaper). Great place to start to see if this kind of organizing works for you.
No -

The discounts are happening because of the Inflation Reduction Act that take effect in 2023. The IRA would give a $3500 tax credit for purchasing an EV, like Tesla Model Y.

It takes about ~6 months for people who order a Tesla to get it delivered. For people who ordered in June, they want the IRA tax credit so many considered cancelling or delaying taking delivery until 2023.

This Tesla incentive is to make those people take delivery in 2022 Q4 so that quarterly earnings report would smooth out, instead of dead Q4 and huge spike in Q1 2023.

Edit: my parents are taking delivery this week and are now super happy. They considered cancelling a few weeks back knowing their delivery date was 1 week before 2023.

Thanks for mentioning Postgres! I am actually pretty curious about the difference between MySQL and Postgres when it comes to their docs about the protocol. My superficial impression is that the Postgres docs are more thorough, leaving less room for ambiguity (some pages of the MySQL docs seem sloppy in comparison, e.g. those documenting the text encoding of values). I would be interested to read an analysis of the development culture of both projects, based on their docs.
This sounds like it could be the reverse of REST, so could be pretty important and perhaps it can grow into a W3C spec.
